I did this. I bought the kit that came with only the glass and sticky tape. It works great. I used a few things to clean the sticky stuff from the bezel but a little knife or small electronics screw driver might do. Otherwise its like the videos I saw. Fixed my wife's Evo in a pinch. If you want to know exactly who I bought mine from let me know and I'll fire up a desktop and look.

Hello fellow users,
Today my phone arrived, it is a t320e model (don't know if there are other models, i know the one from china/japan which is something with w i guess), and sadly it has some problems with the back panel at the camera slot - it is a little bit of. The guy who assembled the thing, I think it was drunk, or 'beginner'.
The good news is, I tested the phone at the shop, and they have a good policy about buy-back in 30 days. So I imediately spotted the problem and the guy from the shop said that "You can have this one home with you, I'll place an order now, and we will call you when your replacement gets here.". Don't know how good you will see this photo:

After arriving home, I've discovered another disturbing issue. The backlight from the virtual buttons are leaking into the screen. Basically you can see it if they are lit and you have a black wallpaper (or sms app open). It looks very ugly, and I'm glad that I'll get a replacement in a few days. Hopefully it will be bug free and I will enjoy the phone but I know that these issue (maybe not the first one, but the second) are known and several users reported them. It is sad to say that HTC released crap quality builds (i'm talking about the casing) and if the problem persist with all the replacements (during this 30days of buy-back), with sadness I will get my money back and buy another phone.

Otherwise the phone is a good piece at this price range and the camera + display blew me away. I didn't tested further because it did not have juice and now it is charging, but I'll report further when I will done my testing on it. And report again when the replacement is in my hands.
PS: yeah, I know. photos are crap quality. took them with an ipod 4th generation -> CRAP!

Well, my dealer said that they will have a new phone on 12th of June, but I'm thinking that if I go with the current phone to them, get my money back and then place a new order to the same shop, maybe they will feel like forced to get the phone faster.

I have the second one. It's not that good. The raised lens of the s3 make it nearly impossible to mount the ring for the lens. I customized a case for it.

hey guys i want to know if this is the real back cover and the real galaxy s4 for tmobile im out of the country and my parents bought me this from ebay and im wondering if you guys could destinguish it thanks! ive been worrying all day!
Looks like mine, from what I can tell from the picture.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
looks pretty real but those images are low quality so its hard to see the details
Hey,
I'm not a 100% sure but it could be a 1:1 size clone...
If you'll take a good look at the camera lens and compare it with the galaxy s4 you'll notice youre camera lens is slightly smaller than the cam lens of a s4.
Could you post a pic of the inside without the battery and one only from the battery...

P.s. what did the pay for it.?

thats the problem. my parents bought me this phone and they dont know to much ill try toget a pic tomorrow but could maybe you putup a picture of your s4?
Here is a pic of the back of a real one
Sent from my B9500 using xda app-developers app
i see no difference at all and the pic you posted was of the non branded international version.
yeah and they said its not unlocked wouldnt a clone be already unlocked? likefor global usage?
I bought I clone that I was told was legit before. I found out otherwise by checking the 'About Phone' screen and downloaded an app to identify the internal hardware. Yours doesn't look fake from the pictures though.

Why is that a giveaway.. I always buy extra batteries and external chargers for my phones and sell them with it... that is one of the major benefits over iPhone... may as well take advantage of it.

Update- If you are replacing your camera on your Tmobile Galaxy 4 Don't know about the other models make sure to not order the one most ebay sellers tell you is compatible with every model because is not and you will have to end up sending it back...... Double check you are getting the one I posted so you don't waste your time and money!!!!!!
So I dropped my gs4 broke the rear camera well camera is not entirely broken it displays just a white image...... But lets me switch out to front camera without no problem app doesn't fc or anything..... So I went ahead and ordered a replacement camera which said it was compatible with all gs4 devices when I received the camera i saw some difference by the plug but I didn't think it would matter " I ATTACHED SOME PICTURES " Well to make the story short when I connect this camera and try to open the camera app it gives me an error of connection failed or can't connect along those lines..... And makes the camera app close not even letting me switch to front camera or anything..... I tried this a couple of times reconnected my old camera connected just fine camera app worked fine.... connected new camere it just won't connect..... I'm figuring we have to use the version of the camera on the tmobile is different..... Here are some pics comparing them both
I RECEIVED THE TOP CAMERA AS THE REPLACEMENT THE DIFFERENCE IS THE TEXTURE THING BEFORE THE CONNECTOR IS WAY SLIMMER THAN THE TMOBILE ONE.... I BELIEVE SINCE THE OTHER ONE IS THINNER IS NOT MAKING ANY CONNECTION TO THE BOARD..... THE BUTTOM ONE IS THE ORIGINAL AND A PICTURE I FOUND OF A TEAR DOWN OF A TMOBILE GALAXY 4
Any1 ever had to replace their camera ?????

The camera you took out looks like the same as the ifixit teardown; they did the ATT version. They do note that it barely makes contact with the board...not sure if there's something you can do to help 'secure' it in there...

Yea I tried a bunch of times today it won't work even pushing the little connector piece down it still fails u could tell is the wrong camera since the connector that goes to the board literally stays in the air u have to push it down making the other plug almost pop out to touch the board but it won't work
That sucks bro.. makes the 8/10 repairability score unworkable when there are different components and nothing is documented

Hey guys,
I had the same problem and was getting message that camera is failed to lunch. However, I ordered at one place the camera for my SGH-M919 and it worked. Since XDA does not allow me to post links, I would suggest to write me a private message and I will share the place where I bough the camera. Hope, it helps because many sellers on ebay keep saying that all S4 cameras the same which is not!

I have not replaced the camera but this is just a suggestion so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe you can use some solder to make contact if it is too thin?

I literally put a thin piece of paper to make it lift up so it would touch and is not enough even if u press them together they won't connect..... I would suggest just looking for the tmobile version and just plug n play
