I was wondering if it was possible to take everything except the screen out of the original diamond and put it into a diamond 2 housing. thanks in advance.
stop joking please absolutely not
why not just buy a diamond 2
these devices are soo custom made with pcb for casing no such thing will ever be likely
Thanks. Searched for an answer, but couldn't find any so I figured I'd ask. I thought that maybe since people have made portable xbox 360's, maybe this. I saw a lot of people selling the housing, and being too poor to buy one at the moment, I thought it might be possible. but it looks like I'll just have to wait.

Hey guys n' girls,
I need a few spares for my XDA 2 (these are gonna seem odd, but what the hell); the things i need are:
1. that crappy rubbery cover that goes over the headset jack, i lost mine, i dunno how.
2. The back cover that goes over the battery, i ruined mine, lol. dont ask how!
3. The piece above the battery cover, (the other cover, lol) it covers the camera module/aerial piece and the little circle rubber thing that goes over the external antenna connector.
4. I need a spare battery as well (preferably a higher power/capacity one; does the XDA 2i one work in the XDA 2? if it does then i need an XDA 2i battery)
5. A new Headset, I messed mine up completely!! no joke, i still have it but i dunno how to fix all the wires back together; besides the volume control is messed up, so its not worth putting the wires back together!
6. I also need the volume control switch; the one on the side, i dropped my XDA 2 and the ridges on it got flattened! Bloody trains; the rides are never smooth!
Thas it, if anyone has any or all of these (basically has an XDA 2 which doesnt work at all, and can provide me with these spares, then it will be much appreciated! i know some are weird spares but its urgent and i need them! let me know anyone, i'll obviously pay for the parts!)
Thanks!
Hi hafizur,
You can check out these guys in the U.K.

They sell the full housing... A bit expensive IMHO, but for a so messed up XDA2 like yours it's well worth it :lol: ...
P.S.- It's amazing to see posts like this left unanswered for so many days!!! :?
I know that not many people know some answers, but I can't believe I'm the only one that knows a place where they sell at least some XDA2 parts...
Oh, well...
P.S2.- It will be nice to know what kind of punishment your XDA2 went through to be in such bad shape!... C'mon, share the complete story!!! :lol:
Good luck!
I really wanted the front camera, but wasn't willing to spend upwards of $400 for it, comparing a non-contracted TyTN II and a contracted Tilt, or even a$200 difference for a non-contracted Tilt.
So, I'm thinking... Is there any way to get the front half of the unit with the screen and the front camera, just so I can get the full TyTN II?
I'm already CID unlocked and SIM unlocked, just thought I'd try to see if I can take it to the next level...
Yes it can be done, I believe. I did this very same thing with my 8525 after getting my hands on a broken JasJam from someone I know and then performing the necessary surgery (funny, because I really am a surgeon!). Now, there ARE a few caveats here: one, I knew for a fact that the AT&T 8525 and the i-mate JasJam were fundamentally the same hardware, and that the 8525 actually had the socket for the camera, so I just took the JasJam's camera, plugged it in, and replaced my 8525's faceplate with the JasJam's.
Because this device is new, however, you're going to have to wait for some time before spare parts become available. And because most mobile device people are highly neurotic, I don't expect that they're going to part with even a broken device, but you never know.
PDADoc, that's a cool story about the camera surgery. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it, lol! I just got bored and since I already had my Kaiser device I figured why not? It worked out well enough, so it's in the desk drawer for use as a backup device. I'm vascillating on whether to sell it or not in the meantime.
love the surgery story too..wish you filmed it. "Vascillating"? LOL Yeah you're definitely a Doctor!

interesting. I'd personally much rather transplant a speaker there though. It'd be especially useful for playing videos. Having the speaker on the back for that job is just silly.
does anyone knows if a hermes cam is the same of a tilt cam? i wanna do same as the "surgeon" but on ebay i can only find hermes cams... thank you
I think a couple guys over at hofo have done this with the Kaiser.. Ofcourse the hard part is finding the camera.
Once you do find the camera, cnn.cn has the front faceplate with the camera hole so if you do get a damaged kaiser with a marked up front cover, you can pick that one up for 12.99 plus shipping.

The best way would be to buy it and find out if it works?
I don't know if anyone could give you the answer 100% as most people who have Kaisers with cameras own HTC TyTN IIs and not Tilts. Unless if someone has access to the part numbers for both the Hermies and the Kaiser I don't know if you'd get the information you are looking for.

Anyone know where I can find Housing for my S710? Dropped it again and the case is cracked! Only ones I can find are around £50!
About £20 on fleabay. I bought one about 4 weeks ago.

Vox Parts

Hi
Was it difficult to change? I've had a look at the service manual and it doesn't look too difficult?
It's not very difficult, however if you've never taken apart a mobile you might be in over your head. It's especially weird since it is a slider.
I have already tried taking mine apart just so I could see how it all goes... Its pretty simple really... Just waiting for my housing now

Any tips?
Hi all. I have a problem after I change the housing, the lcd doesn't work, simply no image. others no problem. Plz help me..
Spare Parts?
Question here,
My wife's Vox died, (not reading SIM and screen keeps going black), Is it worth trying to fix or should I just part it out? Having it repaired is almost as much as a new one.
Does anyone know where I can get another one at a fairly cheap price?
If anyone is interested in parts PM me.

im having the same problem anyone have a solution?
The flex cable isn't seated properly? Make sure it clicks in and does not come out when you slide the QWERTY out.

i've taken the phone apart 3-4 times, double and triple checking all the connections. i dont know it its the lcd or just the flex cable.
I had the same problem. But I think h4waii is right. When I redid the thing it worked. And, by the way I was told by HTC service people in Delhi that the LCD would have to be replaced for the problem.
thats not the answer i was looking for but oh well. thanks for all the replies!! anyone know where i can find a cheap lcd??
hey guys, i really dont like the back cover on the fuze, and heard that the touch pro back cover (gsm version, not sprint) is a rubberized one.. is that true? if so, does anybody know if they're interchangeable? if they are, where can we get them.. i've searched ebay and cnn.cn, and neither one has it right now.. thanks
omar
EDIT: i found this:

I would prefer the matte version of the cover as well, but not to the tune of $31.00 + shipping. For that amount of money, I can put up with a lot of fingerprints!
ya, but besides that, it doesnt even look right. dunno if its a wrong picture or what though...i'm hoping they should be on ebay soon? i also emailed cnn.cn asking them if they plan on carrying them.

It's the wrong picture; the site says, "The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery [sic] cover."
I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago asking if this (http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p...er=wmusfroogle) would fit the Fuze and was told in so many words "no".
i'd actually prefer this one:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=172018
but not as an "Extended" version. the picture is hard to make out, but it's looks flat at hte back. I'd rather have that than teh stupid diamond back design lol
All the guys with the Sprint CDMA version complain about their backs to. Minus the fact that Sprint stupidly went with a non-matching colou,r I'd actually prefer the CDMA backing, it's matte, smooth, and IMO looks better

Confirmed, the one sent IS the original touch pro cover. I love it!
First post i believe,
but.. i love my touch pro 2, but i love the design of verizon's sleep black look, could i swap the housing considering their both cdma?.. i've been told yes, but i dont know where to look, i did a search but it came up with housing for the old touch.. not for this, any help?? =)
I would say maybe. They seem very similar, but I think there would have to be a lot of delicate work involved transplanting the screen and keyboard.
Not worth the risk IMHO.
