Europe charger - Desire HD Accessories

Hi all,
I received my Desire HD this week and noticed that the charger is modular, it currently has the UK plug on the end, does anyone know where I can buy a European adaptor to go on the end, I've tried googling it but I keep finding 3rd party HTC travel packs that cost up to £30 which I'm not interested in.
I must say that what you get in the HTC Desire HD box is not much, not even a screen protector.

Spot on, mate. Major disappointment. Even the packaging itself is cheap looking. My misses's crappy Nokia came in a better box.
Compare that to the sumptuous packaging the Touch HD came in, with its magnetic clasp and foam "bed', and you don't feel as though you've just bought a high-end device. More evidence of HTC corner cutting?

More like going SCROOGE . I also came from Touch HD and that was the best packaging with all the neccessary accessories (and good quality too) I ever saw on a phone. Sadly, it seems that this will be the best I would ever see.

[Q] Sensation XE battery cover?

Hi there , brand new Sensation and i liked very much the Sensation's XE back battery cover.
Does anyone know where can we find it?
It's not even out yet so I'm guessing nowhere
I like the red accents on the camera and the speaker grill. Just don't like the beats logo on the bottom.
Don't like the red at all personally, plus it'd look weird with the white buttons on the front as opposed to the XEs red

Thats a damn good price if its a genuine HTC cover and not a cheap replica.
HTC sell them for £40.99 in the UK on their website
As an owner of a European version I can confirm this looks like an original back.
The antenna contacts are on the inside as can be seen on the second photo on Ebay.
I still wonder if the XE back cover has the same antenna contacts with our current one or not....
Damn ok so my volume rocker fell out of the back cover, apparently that happens when you open it up alot to do battery pulls, well anyways I called htc support and they covered it and sent me a new cover but I have to send my defective one back or they charge me $50+7$ shipping and handling. I also asked if I could buy a spare or preferably buy the sensation xe battery cover, they told me they dont sell them in their store or thru their support. And they dont have anything to do with the Xe since it hasnt been released in the states yet. So the only way to get one from HTC is do a warranty for the battery cover and not return the cover ( if its functional) and let them charge you the 57$. Well if you want an official one that is.

Cheap-ish new screen needed..

Hi Guys
Does anyone know where I could buy a fairly cheap HTC Desire screen?
I regretably broke my screen by throwing it :/ and for the past few months it has been working but some of the screen just wouldnt respond. But now the whole thing has cracked and I cant use the screen at all.
I have looked into getting it fixed by professionals and screens online but seeing as it isnt a new module anymore,when I do come to the end of my contract in October,i wont get much for it if I sell it. Therefor I dont really want to spend a great deal fixing it.
For the mean time I am using my friends HTC Diamond but it just doesnt compare to the desire!
Any suggestions would be appritiated
Thank you
how cheap?
well, it depends on how "cheap" by your definition.
I see one seller from ebay.uk sells it for around £20.99 right now.
good luck !
That price is perfect. Compared to the £45-50 price range that Iv seen!
Do you have the link?
Thank you
Try: htc desire lcd -(z, hd, s, protector, protectors, silicone, cover, case, stylus, clear, guard)
Sort price low->high then choose one you are happy with, the -(x, y, z) should get rid of most the rubbish that hct desire lcd brings back
sorry for a-bit late reply.
can't post a link due to my low # posts.
but for the shop I refer, just search for "Desire display" and look for the £20.99 price (seller name's = macrobolous)
Are we talking about a screen or a Digitiser?
Is the outer glass broken? Can you feel the cracks with your finger?
If you can, its the digitiser. If you can't, its the screen. That can either be AMOLED
or SLCD.
I bought an AMOLED screen from Ebay UK and it works perfect. £20.99 + P&P.
here you go
you can get on from ebay or use those links...

[Q] Broke the screen on HTC One X Telus > repair options ?

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately I broke the Gorilla glass screen digitizer on my One X. I had it my back pocket and I sat on chair and I heard a cracking noise. It is a thin hairline crack, but it goes from one side to the other; the LCD is fine though. I am fairly good with fixing things and with a good guide I'll attempt to fix it myself.
The question I have is: should I change just the glass digitizer or should I change the screen too? From what I've seen on Youtube the digitizer is glued pretty good to the LCD and it is difficult to remove. I would attempt to remove just the digitizer but I am afraid not to scratch or damage the LCD in the process. Some people were recommending changing the digitizer and display in one piece. Price wise I am looking at around $20 for the digitizer alone or $80 for digitizer + LCD so I could definitely save on changing just the digitizer.
Has anyone tried change to change any of them and could you please share any feedback I could use ?
Thanks.

There have been a few threads about this. The consensus has been that only HTC can ever get the phone back to a presentable condition after trying to reinstall the glass. And I believe their cost is in the $200-$300 range. I don't think I have seen a single report of a DIY replacement that worked out well. And several "professional" fixes that looked terrible. If you want the glass seated back flush with the phone and the capacitive buttons lined up right I think your only option is HTC, and its not cheap.

OK, so installing just the glass is difficult and might not look or work as good. But what if I change buy the glass and LCD in one piece and install it in one block (costs around $90 for the part)? Any bad reports for this one? Sending to HTC is out of the question, for $300 I might as well get another phone.
Also is there any difference between the international EndeavorU Tegra 3 and Evita S4 variants when it comes to LCD size compatibility? Most of the vendors on eBay don't specify if it is for the international version or Evita so I am assuming it should be the same thing. But, the Evita is 0.5 mm longer than the International version so there is a possibility the displays are different.
There is a difference in sizes among the various One X models. They are not interchangeable. The AT&T version costs the most, naturally (I want to say $150+). If you have an AT&T version, the international One XL (must be LTE version) screen will fit almost perfect, but the capacitive keys don't line up right. Plus with the exception of the AT&T logo its really hard to tell them all apart.
Basically, if the still screen works, keep using it as is. Otherwise getting a new phone is recommended.

I have the version sold in Canada by Telus and Rogers (LTE). Basically it is the AT&T version but with a HTC logo instead of AT&T (and with an unlockable bootloader). I would prefer to get a 100% working screen with a HTC logo, not AT&T. But from you mentioned, my only option would be the LTE International One XL.
What do you mean the capacitive keys don't line up right? Aren't they built inside the whole glass-LCD assembly? If I change the whole thing, do I still need to mess with the capacitive keys ?
Thank you.
I've only seen people replace the whole front glass assembly, which includes the buttons. The lights are in a different place, so the buttons work, but only halfway light up. I'm not sure on the Canadian version, I have the AT&T version, so that's the one I have watched for. Everything I read about this is on xda somewhere. I just don't know exactly where the threads were. Possibly in the accessories forum too.
Sent from my HOCKS
I think it is safer to avoid replacing just the glass, I want to go with glass and LCD one piece swap. If I replace it with this eBay item for example, I should have everything work back to original state including the capacitive buttons assuming that the display is compatible with my HTC ?
At this point you have nothing to lose except 90 bucks... Buy the glass, and replace it. Take your time, and you will also learn something. Whenever people say something is hard, I use it as my drive to prove them wrong. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Tip: reassemble it, then if t dont look right, take it apart again, then reassemble it again, this kind of softens the plastic gasket that holds the screen in place, after a couple attempts it should sit in just like new.

That's what I meant: glass, digitizer, and LCD in one unit. Its hard to tell if that came out of a LTE version. There are no many One X variants that use the same name. You can try to ask the seller. The only guarantee to get the right part and get them installed correctly is to deal with HTC. Having a screen not seated right, or the buttons not lighting up right would drive me crazy.
Personally, I would just get a new phone, depending on the crack.

Oh I got it. So the capacitive buttons lights are NOT inside the digitizer-LCD unit, that's why the misalignment issues. So basically my best bet would be with an AT&T branded screen. I guess I'll take an AT&T logo instead of a bad capacitive buttons.

I will try to do it, I fixed my galaxy S2 before with guides from the internet, I'll try with the One X. I am just waiting for the seller to confirm if his part is compatible with the HTC One X Evita.
But the bottom line is > phones have grown to big for their own good. The bigger the screen size, the higher the flex. The result is easy to see.
I didn't want a 4.7" but really wanted an HD screen. I guess from now on I'll stick with a 4.3 screen, it is easier to operate with one hand and probably more flex resistant.
Everyone wants thinner, bigger, lighter phones. At some point people need to stop and look at longevity of the device.

I broke my screen a couple months ago on my att HOX. I ordered a new screen to attempt a repair because the lcd was not damaged. I trolled the inet researching before and after I received my screen. short of the long is replacing the screen only? IMPOSSIBLE! way too much adhesive heating slightly only ended up damaging the lcd. I ended up ordering my screen/lcd from repair universe. Meanwhile phone was out of order Once the later than promised repair item arrived from them. It had the HTC logo instead of the ATT one at the top. (little scared at that point to continue, but what the hell) everything fit well. my only complaint is the captivate buttons on the bottom. I was able to transfer the plastic light things for the captivate buttons, just not as perfect as I would like. However works well.
(edit) I still have the screen digitizer. Free to anyone willing to pay for the shipping from Utah, or talented enough to get the screen away from the lcd. LOL
At&t one x and international one xl are identical except for software and the logo. You can get either of these screens with no misalignment.

Thanks. One question regarding these screens from eBay: Is the LCD the same quality as the original one (same colors, contrast, brightness) and is the glass Corning Gorilla Glass or ordinary non scratch resistant glass ?

Do you have a link with a XL screen (HTC logo) that works just like the original one?
Some people are reporting that the capacitive buttons light are not properly aligned with the One XL, only half of the buttons light up. I would get a XL screen with an HTC logo, but I think I would tolerate an AT&T logo instead of half lit capacitive buttons.
No clue on the quality or type of glass. The day after my repair, I had invisasheild installed. I like The feel of glass vs plastic but I don't really want to go though that again. The display on 1080 looks great for my movies.

HTC M8 Gold?? Cheesy?

I am on my third htc one m8 due to quality issues. The first had scratches on the back out of the box. I exchanged it for a new gunmetal m8 that had a HORRIBLE RATTLE! The power button Rattled? I wish I had delt with a few sratches. So I too that one back and went to best buy and got a Gold m8. It has the best power button out of all 3. The volume rocker is a lil looser but doesn't rattle. Never wanted a gold one but Im afraid to exchange this one for a gunmetal m8.
What do u think about the gold? Also why is HTC horrible with stuff like this? Samsung is the best! You can pull 10 Samsung S5's and put them on a table and they will all be the same.
Please post questions in the q and a.

I agree luck of the draw. I have gotten the highest quadrant scores with this gold one. quite noticeably better! I stay steady at 61fps copared to 59. I want a gunmetal tho. maybe I need to deal with gold.
If I damage the phone will the insurance let you change colors? I don't think they would even have gold because its best buy only
I must just be lucky. When the HTC Rezound rolled out, I was an early adopter (bought one on Black Friday, right after the release), and I never had a single issue with that phone. I recently upgraded to the M8 (Gunmetal Gray), and it's perfect. I had a M7 for all of 36 hours, and I returned it for the M8, but not because there were any issues with the phone (I didn't notice any issues with fit/finish)... I just wanted the newer device, and the sdcard slot.
And yes, the gold is cheesy! They only did it because CrApple did it. There's a reason we have the M8: because it's NOT an iphone, and it IS a better device! Who wants to be a locked-down, herd-following fanboi?
I have the gold one myself and I like it. In some lighting it looks sliver and in pure sunlight it looks like it has a pinkish tint to it which looks pretty sick looking, Also no faults with it. Actually no faults with any electronic thing Ive ever owned.
I haven't noticed any problems like that. What I have noticed like some others is the speaker grills could've been fished better. I keep mine in an Otter Box which kinda stinks by hiding the beauty of the phone but because of the phone length I can't find a pouch type holder for my belt.
