I'm gonna buy the German version of the Omnia 7 (16GB yeah!!) on Tmo Germany.
The only branding is the battery cover on the back - does anybody have a clue where I could buy this cover?
Every tip is appreciated!
same here, ive lost mine and gone mad!!! cannot find one anywhere, searched for back, back cover, battery door still nothing. Any help much appreciated.
Did you call the customer service of Samsung? That's my plan at least (when I'm finally getting one in a week or two)
There has to be an extra cover to buy somewhere - at least in cases like yours. I guess the chances are pretty good that Samsung will offer you a replacement, if you would call them.
I own the 16GB Omnia 7 from T-mobile Deutschland (bought it 2 yesterday at a store) and it does not have any hardware branding. On the battery cover there is "Samsung" (written vertically) and "Windows Phone" (written horizontally on the bottom end of the cover).
"T-Mobile" or "Telekom" does not appear on the whole device once, apart from the splash screen on boot.
btw, great device, I am very happy.
NICE! Thx for the info!
Mine will arrive early next week - I can't wait!

Well, I've gone ahead and pulled the trigger on an extended battery and back cover for my S710 since I got it used and the battery is half way after a full day usage and I need more since I'm not always near a charger for a few days - though I am happy it can charge via miniUSB since most people have one for their digital cameras.
So I shall update once I receive it and we shall see truly how uncomfortable it will be with the larger battery door. And it was only $25 shipped on eBay. 2250mAh of goodness will soon be arriving.

you mind putting up some pictures of how it looks with the extended battery? side views, and comparisons with the orgiinal side by side shots if possible.
oh and what kind use do you use it for, do you have bluetooth on, wifi on? or both off? etc.

I have mine already a couple of days. By mistake they send me the wrong lid , I got the one from the S630. Wow, what a biiiig device that is. I'm happy having a Vox
So, they immediately send me another cover, waiting for it now to arrive....
Woah, looks big with the extended battery and cover on it, lol. Hopefully it's still useable. birdibird, when you get your cover - post up some pics, also if you could tell us where you got it, how much and if your new cover still has the rubbery HTC feel to it (when it arrives).
I'll post up some pics of mine when it comes in!
I was wondering how many days of use do you have with those 2250-2300MAh batteries??
I read that someone bought them from megacapacity, others from eBay, others from gpsforless, and others from BoxWave
Can we make list from what of those batteries bought from where, went good and waht went bad?? also advising the other from wich ebayers we should not buy?
Is it allowed by the forum's rules?
Think it would be usufull to everyone
I bought one from eBay and one from BoxWave. They are both the exact same thing. I also still have mine for sale, used for roughly one week. The only subtle issue with them both - is that the contact pads are recessed too much. I had to pad them with copper in order for the pins on the Vox to reach properly. You can also pull the pins out of the Vox a few mm which will assist.
Thanks H4waii
for your cooperation!
ANy other experiences?? Fro what I remeber you where quite a few who bought an extended battery...
Hello! I use extended battery for about a year. What to say... It gives me a chance not to think bout battery at last one day using Vox (calls, GPRS, music, reading and also playing games).
To say, I'm going to buy one more extended battery, because ... I like my Vox but such battery can disappear from the market...
MY HTC Desire HD sim cover crack when I use it at first day. It is too soft and so fragile. I go to HTC Care center (Singapore) and ask for service, they quote me 100 SGD(76 USD). That is 12% of whole phone cost. That is ridiculous!!! That is not all of it. They request me to let them have the phone for 3-5 days just to fix it. It is just a user replaceable cover. What a lousy service.

I'm also waiting for a cheaper chinese one.

Thanks. That is much cheaper1!! But delivery will be a problem.
Unbelieveable...how difficult is it to just put on the cover? maybe they just wanna play around with a new toy (the Desire HD)?
Lol... I don't know...
I wanted to change this liitle piece of plastic because I have my carrier's (Orange) logo on. I'm french, so delivery is not a problem for me. But I think I will try some acid to remove this ugly logo !
Watch on the american website, maybe they have some too !
Well there are two options:
You can glue the cover and put silicon cover the back of the phone and wait for Chinese ultra cheap parts
Or wait for the beginning of the January when it seems to me that a lot of shops will receive official spare parts. For instance here you can preorder it for 19 pounds:

my brother called HTC service and said his sim cover was loose. They noticed it as a incident and within a week he got a new sim cover with the mail for free. I'm living in the Netherlands.

Ya, look like I have to wait. Shipping fee from UK is too expensive. I live in Singapore. Look like HTC Singapore have the worst service. The reason they give is they not making profit from it. WTH.

Thats is a good reason, but I doubt HTC Singapore will do that.
Below is my support reply from htc :
Me: My HTC Desire HD sim card cover broken. It is so fragile, it made of soft plastic. It is my first day using it. How I suppose to get a new cover?
HTC : Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we would suggest you to back up all your data first and bring your phone with the receipt to our care center in Singapore for servicing. Our engineer will help you to check and fix your phone.
Me : I go to singapore care centre and ask for help. They say comestic issues is not cover by htc. The charges for replace a small plastic cover is 100 sin dollar, which is 12% of a new phone cost. That is ridiculous. And worst case more they need to hold my phone for three to five days just to replace a user replaceable part. I feel so frustrated with this kind of service. I like htc product so much but this had failed me.
HTC : We are really sorry to hear that. Hope you can get your phone fix asap.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again.
Me :That is the only replied you can give? That is not helpful at all!!!
It is too expensive for a small plastic cover!! And this had been know issues for many users. And other country users get the free replacement. How come Singapore users cannot get free replacement for that?

HTC : Please understand that we are not trying to make profits by raising the price of the parts. All we will earn is the labor charge to pay the engineer. And due to the cause of the damage is not covered by our company's warranty statement (actually any mobile phone company will consider this situation as out of warranty case, I should say), it will be really difficult for us to provide any discount to you without a proper reason. We really hope that we can help to repair your phone and make it to be of service to you again, but still we have to take our budget into consideration.
We are quite sorry for any inconvenience it may cause and thank you for your consideration!
Me : I cannot understand. You mean labor charge for put on the cover??? You gonna be kidding??
HTC UK website is selling it at 32 Singapore Dollar and willing to ship to customer.
It is just a cover that anyone, even child know how to put back!

Using what exchange rate?
Today's is £70 = $110.62
So far nothing? I broke my cover on the first day too =/
30 January on HTC's Website...
check on expansys.com.au -> $27-27 AUD
Probably we should lodge a complaint to HTC HQ..
I got a replacement phone this from my provider as my screen developed a fault.
Before the courier arrived I took the battery and sim cover off the old one as I knew they wouldn't notice. New phone arrived. Now I have a spare sim and battery cover.
If anyone is desperate pm me and we can sort something out.

Has anyone received a replacement from MS in the mail - Does it come in original packaging (the customer service rep couldn't answer this ?). My Battery capacity dropped 25% in the past 2 months - ive only been getting like 5-6 hours vs. 8-10, and they agreed to replace the unit. That being said, I got used to the 5-6 hr battery life, and have been debating to bite the bullet and get Surface Pro - If im going to start new, may as well go pro. Either way, if it comes in original packaging, I can probably exchange at the MS store - does anyone know?
It does not come in any of the original packaging, no.

I just sent mine back in the packaging they sent th new one out in, was advanced replacement tho.
For standard exchange: it doesn't come with the fancy retail package, instead a relatively smaller plain package "box" with only the replacement Surface RT (and a paper with the link myservice.surface.com) The replacement Surface is well protected by foamed plastic (not those small filler!)
Strangely, the replacement surface seems to have the same serial number than my defective one.
Today is a very sad day! My phone fell out of my pocket when i was cycling in full speed. The screen is cracked - not horribly, but since there is a hole in the bottom corner, it will get worse over time. So i should start looking around for a replacement display. I want an OEM display. Ans suggestions on where to get one in Europe or elsewhere with reasonnable shipment costs? Thanks
Hello, there is enough repair center here...
Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, Zürich, etc... No?
Yesterday was first day back at work after a more or less off the grid vacation. had been at work less than 5 minutes when i dropped the phone and the screen looks like if someone drove over it with a car.
So, do anyone have any experience replacing the screen for the U11 Life and/or where to buy a new complete screen and lcd?
I think i will buy a xiaomi mi 9 as a backup phone... :silly:
You are pretty noobish, you don't say your country, nothing, you can find a complete screen for u11 life on god damn it GOOGLE, you can type on google, screen replacement for u11 life.... aliexpress, a lot of retailers sell them, or a GSM Service, ebay, amazon etc... What experience to have? Is an flat screen, not a curved one which need good glue/adhesive etc
when it comes to replacing the screen, yes. never done that before. have had mobile phone since 1992-1993 and this was the first screen i ever shattered. i have replaced cameras, charging ports and some other stuff, but never any screen.
the main concern was, because U11 life is water resistant, i do not want to break any seal by trying to open or remove parts the wrong way.
i've used a singapore based company for parts before, they are good with parts, but it can take up to 4-5 weeks to reach the cold north country of sweden. but then again, i've ordered a OP7 pro yesterday so the wait is no problem in a couple of days.
