I have scratched the casing of my XDA II quite badly and am a bit upset by it. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement casing for it? Note, I don't need a case, I need the actual housing of the unit. Preferably in the UK, but not necessary.
Cheers
Allan
good luck!, I've been looking for just the rear housing for 6 months with no luck.
there is someone selling XDA2 dummies in Uk on ebay.
Maybe you could use that

To cut a long story short, i dropped my xda2 in the toilet at work!
so went home and claimed it on my house insurance and i now own a lovely spvm2000 but im left with this xda2 thats been down the pan, the thing switches on and it all appears to work fine except its black listed, obviously coz i claimed on insurance so i will open it up and sling the pcb in the bin, unless anyone wants some componets from that, but i shall not be selling the phone complete or the pcb seperate. so for sale i have everything else here is a list of what i can think of
fully working screen with no scratches
houseing(scratched but back cover is fine)
4 styli (3 in original o2 retail pckaging)
all the box with instruction and sw cd
leather case
aluminium case (scratched)
Genuine Battery
Cradle
thats all i can think of atm, if u want any of it just make me and offer, dont want much for the stuff as its just sitting there redundant now and not being used!
if u can think of anything else that came with the phone that ive not listed let me know and ill let u know if i got it!

Before you throw the board away it will work in other countires, maybe somebody has a knackered motherboard in usa and could use a replacement.
well its still a blacklisted phone, i know it will work in america or other countries but its still illegal, i know it was my pohone that i flushed down the toilet but still illegal to sell it coz it blacklisted so ill just sling it and sell the other parts of the phone
slung it yet?
Hello, I'm interested in your tft display. mine got cracked, and I'm not about to pay the outrageous replacement pricing that the German T-mobile wants...
you'd save the day (month, etc.) if it's still around. By the way, I'd also be interested in the accessories like cradle, pouch belt clip, sync cable, etc. they seem to be designed to last 6 months, and if your belt clip croaks over here (Germany) the telekom suggest that you buy a new leather pouch, "which comes with a new belt clip" (***holes):evil:
all the best

Hello NeCrOpHiLiCaT
I see your post is some time ago but maybe I have some luck.
I need complete housing for xdaII,but maybe for precautions I'll buy some other parts or maybe all your xda2.just tell if is still available.
Still got the cradle?
Hi,
I am also interested in the cradle, do you still have it? Thank you.
Nick Lee
Hi I'm interested in you mainboard with speaker . Do you still have them?
Anyone here who knows where can I buy one? Thanks.
check out my post qtek2020 for sale
casing
try in bright point cubao..they sell original casing for xda II..
casing
Yep, you can get it from Brightpoint if you want a bnew casing. Will cost you around P2500. I saw one at Alabang Town Center, I thought it was a replacement case like the one's for the XDA mini. Unfortunately, it looks like it was just repainted and they are selling it for P1000 for the front panel only :shock:
You can try Greenhills too. There are several PDA/PPC shops there.
go G-Mask!
The Phone is 3 months old and my rubber ring just fell off, not the whole wheel though...
Any suggestins how I can fix it back on again, or should I return the handset ?
Thanks
nid
This happened to me and I returned it and they happily put another one on (but took 28 days to do so)!!!
It happened to a friend of mine too, who also sent it back. Then it happened again, so she just super glued it back on.
If it were me, and it was still in warranty, I'd send it back.
When mine came off I just placed it back on and applied presure. After a few days of not using the wheel it should stick. Mine hasn't come off since
Thanks guys
I washed the ring and the wheel witha little soapy water and a wet cloth to get the fluff off and pushed it back on again. so far so good.
The fone is in waranty, so if it comes off again, I'll consider returning it.
Again, Thanks

my xda orbit 2 rubber ring fell off too
hi, it happened to me as well, my wheel rubber ring fell of i stick it back on but after few weeks i noticed it wasn't on it, it must have fell off but i can't do anything about it cos i bought my xda orbit 2 from ebay. will have to manage without it, don't thing u can buy just a rubber ring on its on, or can u?
I've had this problem and am on my 4th handset... O2 will replace the entire handset if you tell them to... never ask what they can do for u... just TELL them and they get it done... but it's better if you're with O2 online rather that the shops as they get a guy to deliver the new one and pick up the old one at the same time... so ur not without a phone!
yup, I'm getting my THIRD handset from O2 today becase of the ring falling off. I did try superglueing one of them back on but the glue reacted with the rubber and it turned in to a big mess! It's a good phone but this is a serious problem, it must be costing HTC a fortune to keep replaceing the handsets.
Why don't you just go to a local "home center" or a similar store, buy some glue that intended to bind rubber with metal, use it, and forget the issue ?
if I was 6 months in to my contract I'd of been more pro active about doing that but the wheel to fall off within a month, it was going back! if it continues to happen I may give that a go though. (assumeing the ring doesn't get lost)
Hi there,
Sorry to drag this up again !
I also have a XDA Orbit 2 as a second handset, bought off Ebay so no warranty with O2 online etc etc.
I need the rubber ring - quite why HTC decided to just stick it on with double sided tape stuff is beyond me!
Is there anywhere I can get a replacement rubber ring from? failing that, anyone know of a decent DIY job ? I tried getting a 'washer' from a local DIY type shop, it fits perfectly, but is about 2mm too deep - I couldn't 'shave' 2mm off either as internally it's metal.
Help anyone?!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!
Hi all,
Just bumping this..
Anywhere that I can get the rubber ring? or anyone know of a cheapo DIY version?
Cheers!
Dennis! West London UK!
Mine fell off and I just do without it. the 2 small holes are handy for twiddling the wheel while using the stylus
Some people said that this rubber rings can be found in ebay... but wht don't you give your phone for repair in o2 shop? if it's within 2 years from purchase won't cost you a cent/penny
Hi there,
I didn't buy the phone via O2 or their shops - it was purchased from an independant seller off Ebay.
Will O2 still replace the rubber ring in this case?
Still haven't seen a listing on Ebay for a replacement ring either...
I'm looking to sell the phone so just want it replaced so it's a 'complete' handset.
Cheers, Dennis, West London UK!
I just dropped my diamond by accident while running to my car to avoid the rain =="....
It was in a PDA case, but it still somehow popped out of the case and got scratched up...
So I am in DIRE NEED OF A REPLACEMENT HOUSING!!!
lucky for me, the only damaged parts were the metal rim around the front side of the phone and the battery cover...
I am thinking of just getting an extended battery so i can get a new battery cover with it as well.
But I can't find the Replacement part for the rim around the front of the phone...
I took a lot at the phone and it seems easy enough to replace the rim....but i need to find the part first....
Please guys, any help will be very much appreciated....
Really need this housing replacement...can't stand looking at my scratched up diamond =(
phones still in its early stages so gonna be hard to get hold of housing so quick. Usually best place is here
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-c-277_533.html
but they only have screen and back plate at the moment
just be patient a little bit longer.
does that shop deliver quickly??
would it be possible to ask for oem parts directly from htc...?
i talked it over with htc canada today and it may cost upwards 100 CDN to fix the cosmetic damage =(
no insurance?
uh no...i've never insured a phone before....
never thought it would the belt clip would break and let the phone fall and get scratched =="
argh...
any ideas on what to do...
should just take out the rim and touch it up myself ^^"....
oh i've got an idea =D!!!!
I can buy a dummy phone and replace it directly that way...
right.....?

In a very rare occasion you can use dummy phones.
Mostly the inside is completely different, no way of using those dummies for housing parts.
Haven't seen a dummy Diamond yet, so I can't tell if it is usable, but mostly HTC dummies aren't usable.

i'm just lokoing to replace the outer rim on the front side of the phone and the battery cover....?
so maybe its possible...
ill drop by a local mall and see if its possible i guess....
loads of dummy diamond phones on ebay the last time i check it out.
i wouldn't say loads...
i saw a total of 4 =P lol
average 20-30 dollars CDN
which is fine for me if i can use it as housing and battery cover replacement
anyways heading out to check the dummy model =)
it doesn't work =(
its one giant piece, so i can't really take it apart to replace the piece i want...
How hard is it to take apart the diamond?
The invisible shield really stuffed up my screen. I can see parts flaked off the screen (looks like a thin protection layer) which is believe is the touch sensor itself. It has not affected the use of the phone but looks ugly.
EDIT: Home from work and did a search and found this: http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor-htc-touch-diamond/
Looks like a lot of work to get to the digitizer.
wow amazing find...was looking for a page like this...
aw man...the housing is one whole piece from what i can tell from the last picture...guess a DIY housing replacement is not really gonna be easy....
i'm gonna ask HTC for an estimate....
just minor cosmetic damage on mine on the corners so nothing too huge but it pains me to see it every time =(
at least this seems a bit easier than fixing the iphone....its so much work to put in a new digitizer cause of the way the housing is built
Looking for the Telus Black rear cover
If anyone finds a place that is selling the black rear battery cover for the CDMA version of the phone i would be interested.
anyone have any lucking finding a replacement housing?
I can provide the replacement housing
It cost about 36 euro
Like this??

Hi guys, so the mini cracks all around the plastic edges.
That comes as one piece, it's just the back case.
Anyone know where to get it fixed for the cheapest possible?
I'm in the uk.
Wow, this happens to all the handsets and no one's got a solution? I know I can get a replacement back for £25 and take it to a shop where Labour is £35. So £60 is my best shot. I just thought seeing as it's such a common fault there would be a service dedicated to fixing it.
