I've dropped my Desire a few times and have since got a case for it. Is there anyway to replace the metal bezel (graphite) as well as the rubbery cover that covers about 65% of the phone?
get new housing ($60) take out the intestine and put it in the new housing.. you will lose warranty and it is quite hard to move the digitalizer..
Don't Get Us In Trouble
I have removed a post for encouraging the OP to commit insurance fraud. For clarification, please read rule 9 if you wish to suggest such a course of action
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
Forum Rules, Please Read!
Please do not continue this thread in the direction of insurance fraud, as it is both illegal and immoral.

if you buy the casing, you can use this tear down tutorial to replace it

At HTC Russia there were information posted about the new white Desire. They also sell the case alone:

We find these comments damaging to our companies reputation and unfair. As such you may be sued for any damages.

Bear this in mind when considering Apex Laptops for parts or repairs! And also that they recommend their own company ( see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=342361#342361 ) without full disclosure of their position within said company. Me, I'm bricking it now, honest....
And if they decide to delete their posts, don't worry, I've got them cached if they want to use them in court against me.... :twisted:
Richard
What a strange company! They have to go around pretending to be their own customers to provide recommendations for themselves/. Not only here, but other forums as well!

I had my Mio 168 repaired coz it had the same dodgey charging connector. I used a company in kent called apex laptops. Not a bad service at all. just glad my GPS is now working again. I'm useless at directions. Mitac quoted me a ridculous amount to repair it. Apex were a bit better. their website if you like it is www.apexlaptops.co.uk. hope this helps.

I had my ipaq repaired

I had my 5550 repaired by apex laptops. Very good service. their site is www.apexlaptops.co.uk.
Dont know if they can help you.
Good luck!
And as for them dis-agreeing with my ' board swop' comment well, there are many posts about boards being swopped in iPaqs.
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19254
Now as new boards need the permission of HP to be distributed, can Apex Laptops tell me their HP reseller number? Oh, hang on, I can look it up. Wait a minute, there not on there! What gives? :wink: Are they using another distributer? Maybe then can tell us their details? Or maybe then can admit that they use 2nd hand parts....
their 'board swop' method looks like their 'fix all' cure for even simple firmware issues that can be sorted with mtty or jtag....a corrupt rom usually just needs flashing properly using non-consumer methods.....
Now, people on this board start having a go at me ( see the 'crook' thread ) - I don't go around threatening to sue, I STAND UP FOR MYSELF. I don't delete posts like Munkeemajjc has done.....and their failure to reply in posts pointing out their self-recommendation and high prices should speak volumes. They have started to post links to the 'crook' thread on various message boards - thanks! Then people will see my low, low prices in comparison to their overpriced used parts :wink: so thanks for the advertising Apex Laptops!

haha, what a bunch of clowns.
Richard,
Your comments posted here are strong and as such are slanderous to our company. We do not know you and you do not know us.
We feel these comments are unfair. We do not use second hand parts but if we every did use second user parts we always tell the client beforehand.
We will be taking this matter up with solicitors as false alligations have been made.
Regards,
Apex Laptops.

oh yeah? everything I have posted can be backed up.....so you're now admitting you ARE apex laptops after posting fraudulent glowing reviews about yourself as a customer of apex laptops then?...Great!
Richard
EDIT from your own post, none of my 'allegations' ( or comments as I like to call them) would seem to be false....
Take the sentence "if we (every did) use second user parts we always tell the client beforehand."
Now if you had typed "we would always tell the client beforehand" it is a future statement that you haven't previously but would in future if needed...
However, the statement as written is past tense implying you have used 2nd hand parts. Hoist on your own petard methinks....
And as for false statments, what about your own claiming to have bought from yourself and gotten good service? Muppet! At least have the decency to use a second ID for posts recommending your own service! Or do you think the readers of XDA-dev are that stupid they won't spot it a mile away?
p.s still waiting to hear from you or your solicitor.... Might give you a call in a bit to speed it up as I'm bored and need entertaining....
sigh...gotta love internet fights...lol :roll:
Yeh. Anyone knows that the best way to get MORE people to read comments about something is to negatively respond to it. If munkeemajic wrote "I disagree with everything and apex laptops give cheap quality part" then no more comment, I would never have noticed this thread!

What gets to me is again someone has said that it is slander. I believe if it was incorrect it would not be slander it would be libel.
slander = spoken
libel = written
If you're going to bicker please be accurate ;-)
To be fair Kevino, that's probably why he's talking to a solicitor! And in this jurisdiction, wouldn't it be defamation? I was acting for Don King in this case regarding "Internet libel/defamation":

Hi again Richard,
We have had advice from our solicitor regarding this matter.
His words are:
The remarks are defamatory to your business.
We suggest you advise the owner of the website and insist the comments are removed, and if you think that he will repeat them elsewhere then we shall proceed with legal action to prevent further defamation and to seek damages for the defamatory remarks which have already been made.
You could also seek a public apology.
Hope this helps.
So as you can see things may escalate as a result of your postings. I personally do not wish to continue with this as it is very time consuming for us. This matter can be laid to rest if you remove all remarks said about our company and maybe post a public apology.
I will leave this matter in your hands. You will not hear from me again if your actions are not well intended towards Apex Laptops.

you use 2ND HAND PARTS which you have admitted above and has been confirmed by previous customers...
and you REPLACE MOTHERBOARDS when a JTAG flash is all that is needed to re-flash firmware....
None of that is defamation. So bring it on
On the other hand, you have pretended to be one of your own customers on this and many other websites and fraudulently given yourselves a glowing recommendation which is undeserved. What did your solicitor say about that exactly might I ask? Did they recommend you apologise for misleading everyone?.....

So I wonder if munkeemajic mentioned to his solicitor that he had been posting false recommendations for his own company in order to try and get business?
I personally have not seen any defamatory remarks - just comments about qoutes from munkeemajic's own postings.
I think he needs to contact his solicitor again and give him the whole story as the chap may change his ming when faced with an informed opinion and correct facts... LOL
Plus, I wonder if he has contacted the "owner" of the website and not Richard.
I'm getting bored now... but I can definately say that I would personally not use apexcomputers after reading THEIR OWN postings for recommendations for their own company.. whether FAKE or not.. I'm just glad Richard has brought these apparently "SELF RECOMMENDATIONS" to uur knowledge.

Well I must admit this is pretty low, chances are the person selling it is on this board too.
Selling your own hard work is fine, selling others non profitable hard work is pathetic, I hope the person responsible is feeling very guilty about now!
That stinks, someone should find out who this guy is?
£1.99 very appealing until you see he is charging £8.01 for postage on an electronic download.
Maybe he'll donate the money to xda developers - I don't think.
He did donate though, not much.

Reply from the seller
This is the reply I got from the seller NOT from me personally as from following post it looks if it was me IT IS NOT just to make it as clear as day (and if the mods wish to ban the seller) they can PM me and I will send his name.
I've put an ADD on email with a step by step guide to flash the devices.I've seen a lot of "mod" people bricking their devices due to a bad explanation of the flashing process,complicated links,corrupted files and so on.IE: I myself colected information from a developer site and tried to flash an Imate Jam and after the process was done...it was bricked!!!End of story I ended up with a worthless device and no support whatsoever!!!
So I had this idea of making a friendly step by step guide and offering a support to the buyers in case the flash process goes wrong. And don't tell me it is a risk free process...For instace from the 15 roms I've sold out I had to give support for 3 buyers that even with the step by step guide they manage to not completely follow the steps and needed extra support (such as special roms that are able to recover half bricked devices).
So what I actually offer is a lower risk to the buyers.Up to 85% of my buyers know that these tool I'm selling might be "free" elsewhere. But this "free" means no support as well.So this is a great value for money choice as all the tec stuff and tools needed are gathered together with download links,explanation,step by step guide and support by email or msn or even by phone in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
So this is what I offer. Part of the money gathered are sent to the development site so we can keep improving HTC devices.
Best Regards
(I do have his name but not that evil to post it)
sure, that's why you want 8 Bucks for the Download right?
You suck guy, no one here will believe your stupid "oh i did nothing wrong" bull....
You tried to earn Money with other peoples work and with non-licensed software. You can't deny that and that's exactly why you should be banned out of every single ppc-board (this, pdamobiz, etc) forever.
Everyone gets support here within a few hours, i don't think some like you is only even almost able to replace all the knowledge of the pplz in this and other ppc-boards.
So got and tell your fairytales some who is stupid enough to believe you.
Reply to the seller
Whether you offered support or not is not applicable, the simple fact is you tried to profiteer from other peoples work without their permission.
You broke the ethics of this board in doing so, caused a certain amount of distress - these actions you took without consideration to the developers, or board members.
If you believe you perceived intentions were honourable and justified then that is your opinion. I believe as do others that posted on this topic you were wrong to do so, as apparently do Ebay.

Please elaborate.
It makes me sick, if you look at this guys ebay postings he is almost exclusively selling other people's "free" software.
Now, legally he could sell a service...say helping you install Dutty's on your phone, but I believe that is against ebay policy (selling a service).
Dutty please write to ebay...this guy has apparently had postings removed in the past. Make sure you point that out as well as ALL the software he is selling like yours...the more you can offer the better a case you will have.
Once you write to them and get some feedback, let us know. I think all of us that are ebay members should also write on your behalf (referencing your case ID).
Another thing you can do is to contact high-bidders and winners and let them know what he is doing.
While it may be an arduous process people like this need to be stopped.
I just sent a report violation on ebay claiming it was an OEM violation (since he states he is selling the "official HTC" ROM). I followed it up with this e-mail:
I have just sent in a report for item# 290229506456
It should be removed because it violated ebays policies regarding OEM infringement listed here:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/oem.html
This user is selling a copy of Operating System software that is from HTC (OEM) and is legally only available if you have purchased an HTC TyTn II device.
In addition, this user has been selling many products on ebay that are verions of software developed by others and distributed as "free ware" on the internet community.
In fact, this user appears to make a tidy profit to the unwitting public selling the work of others that even it's original authors do not charge for.
I would appreciate if you remove this listing and review all of the user's auctions for similar infringements.
It appears this user has been cautioned in the past and continues to violate these policies.
Thank you.

Becuase technically I don't believe it is "WAREZ" it is not software that can be obtained through retail channels. No where can you go out and "buy" a ROM. In addiiton, the user doesn't claim he is selling a special hacked ROM, he claims he is selling the official HTC one.

First off...Dutty doesn't SELL his ROM or REQUIRE payment. He accepts donations, that's all. Same with all the other chef's
Secondly, this guy isn't doing the exact same thing...he is not cooking his own ROM and selling it. He is selling DUTTY's ROM...the pictures and descriptions are identical.
In addition, even Dutty selling his cooked ROM would be illegal both by HTC's standards and by eBay's because it is copyright infringement since, as you correctly stated, these aren't being written from scratch, or rather written at all. They are just conglomerations of other's files (90% HTC, 10% 3rd party apps, many of which are "free").

This guy is selling what Dutty gave away for free. As was discussed earlier in Olipof's thread, it doesn't matter whether that is a book, a can of redbull, or a modified ROM. Once you've let it out of your control, what others do with it is their own business--no matter what you happen to think about it.

That is a different listing that states: "i worked really hard to provide this to you...." which is ambiguous at best. He may have worked really hard to provide it to someone. He does not claim that he wrote it.
Which, of course, could be construed as being misleading. But that really isn't the point. These listings would bother a lot of you REGARDLESS of what he says or doesn't say.

No doubt, and it won't stop us from sending donations to those who whip together the ROMS we all love.
Anybody hacking together code found on the web knows that he isn't in a ownership position, he is just having fun and can't expect to have any ownership over MS or HTC or 3rd party aps because he played DJ and mixed them together.
I make donations based on the labor cooks put in researching, mixing, testing and sharing and that will not change because someone is willing to help the Luddites finally get that god-awful factory ROM off their freaking phone.
I have mad respect for Dutty and and at the rate he pumps out ROMS I don't think that it is any sweat off his back that someone is using one of his zillion old ROMs to help people have better cellular experiences.
My recommendation is that we do what HTC and MS are kind enough to do with us (and that auction on ebay) IGNORE IT!
Stop Snitching!
If you guys really wanna play police and go stop people from doing what you do then I really ask you to stop a minute and think about what it would be like if this was all shut down because MS and HTC had someone writing letters complaining that we are ignoring their REALLY ENFORCEABLE copyright.
As the old saying goes: "May he without sin cast the first stone."
I'm not sure of the legality of selling Microsoft software (that was customized). It is like selling Vista for $5 and saying: "I changed the theme for you and it was very hard to do", but it is even worse because the theme was changed by someone else.
XDA should find someone savvy to research common licenses and burn in warnings to people at first startup saying that if they paid for it, they got hosed.
edit: Good point, but it is still very different. Microsoft is not going to waste resources to stop XDA from doing something harmless and then asking for donations. We are pointing out the fact that he is demanding payment.
As you know, "Spectral Souls" already released. Can someone crack it?
(Sorry for my english)
We don't talk about such things on these forums.
Also, why the hello can't people spend a few bucks on an app? Most of them cost less than a starbucks mocha.

I answered the question.
Try shooting the developer an email. He/She/They/It might be able to arrange a payment method and you might be able to get an answer on whether it will run on your phone or not.
When does that "new users cannot post" thing come into effect? ...
I googled this reply about the same problem:
"The game can run on google g1 phone however we cannot really recommend to play
the game on device with qvga display, so it is very difficult to answer your
question properly, yes it can run but the performances will be low, so it is
really a matter of each person then... , also, if there is a technical issue the
game will announce before downloading the 1 GB if the hdware is supported or
not, so everybody could download it and at least check that the hardware is
supported or not, then to push the 1 GB download will be a personal decision."
Don't Get Us In Trouble
What part of this rule isn't clear to you? Let me highlight the "between the lines" bits that you should have picked up on ...
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

Anyone have this by chance? That is free and not to purchase. I have found the L3 repair pdf and schematics online, however they cost something, not sure how much because i stopped there when i saw that. Maybe someone on telegram? Thanks in advance.
