anyone found a place where to buy an full housing for the desire in silver? i got a urban brown but i prefer silver...
Do tell if you find one. Or black aswell,
full hosing not. Just the back cover can be silver.
Here in holland i saw it in full silver, also the side and front is silver, just looking for a site or shop who can order it or sell it
Here is one on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Full-Front-Back-Housing-HTC-Desire-G7-/110556787710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0#ht_1386wt_907
I asked the guy, (speaks engrish) and the add is actually for the housing not a battery. Appears that the chrome on the camera must be a sticker or something. Guess a guy would just have to order one, wait a month and see what it looks like.
i just found this while searching....
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/full-cover-housing-for-htc-desire-g7-p-2855.html
i was wondering... say i purchased it, i was wondering how hard who it be to change it over and if it'll be dangerous to swap? and would i need special tools?

i actually mailed htc about this a few weeks ago because i wanted to see if i could pay to get them to change my brown casing to silver, this is what they told me:
Dear *** ********,
Dear ***, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand that you would like to change the casing of your Desire phone into a silver colour. Unfortunately this is not option we currently offer to our Desire customers, the main reason is that the touch screen would also need to be removed and changed. Should you require any further assistance, don't hesitate to contact us again. Best regards Aurélie
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10GBCW33ENA001976.
Sincerely,
Aurelie

i bought this the other day instead, i think its really great silicone case cuz it covers the whole phone and makes it look black lol

Are these silver fronts?
http://shop.brando.com/htc-desire-replacement-housing_p04686c0587d004.html
i think only here in holland its available on silver colour, and looks a bit risky to try to change the body totaly..
I also want to replace my housing with a silver one...
Did someone managed to do it already?
Same here, want to change it to silver, but dont know the instructions to do that.
Here are instructions on replasing screen on desire. Could be hard to remove the old touch panel without breaking it. Haven't tried personally.

Here's the official HTC repair videos. They will show you how to take it apart and put it back together again.

Yeah but it's the wrong colour... lol.
Just had a thought.. buy the housing in the link above, use masking tape over the non-grey parts of the housing, then spraypaint in silver!

Looks like I'll have to call LG. Hope they don't charge me $31
Thanks for the replies. I'll let you all know what happens
I am in the same dilemma. Extended 3500ma batteries and covers for P900/999 are available on eBay for around 11-15, so I am going to go that way I guess.
Hard to believe the regular covers are so scarce.

Aren't the dimensions of the p990 slightly different than the p999?

If you think $31 is bad.
I just called up LG (Or the independent company that takes care of all the LG spare parts in Australia). They wanted 45AUD
There is no way im paying $45 for a piece of plastic with the word google on it.
Hey all
For those that have managed to get a battery door from T-mobile: How much did it cost?
I've read that many have managed to get them for free. Would anyone be willing to get one for me and ship to Aus?
I'll cover shipping and will even add some cash on top for your troubles (provided it doesn't cost more than $45!)
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
Did you have any luck with this?
Thanks
I finally recieved the email from the company that had them on backorder. Not only have they clarified that these are only for wholesale customers, but the price went up to $30. from about $12.
I've got two now, so don't need one anymore. Just a heads up.

I sort of struck out, they told me to go to a service center for a swap and to bring my "broken" door. Mines not broken so...
I will go to the service center when I'm in the area however and see what I can do.

Hey man, much appreciated. However, if it becomes too much of a hassle just don't worry about it. Will probably end up buying an extended battery.
Thanks all.
I stumbled upon this a little while ago.
Samsung Infuse 4G SGH-I997 Replacement Parts and they seem to have battery doors, i know some of you needed some. they seems to have screens and digitizers but out of stock. Cameras, batteries, speakers and what not.
i have not bought from them so i would not know if they are legit. maybe someone here can confirm. Just thought id share.
Hehe yeah that site is good buuuuuuuut...
You need to be a reseller, repair or some settled bussines related to phones.... They sell you by batches and you require to apply for membership.
I once tried to apply to buy 1 battery cover...
I was contacted about 3 days later just to be informed about all this.
Thats it basicly you need to buy a whole bunch of em; and/or be a repair industry, reseller etc.
Yeah... dissapointing i knoe...
Stil if someone here is a reseller, repairs phones or something like that give it a try maybe my mistake waa mentioning i only wanted 1 battery cover haha

Hello,
Earlier today my friend stole my phone (well I say friend, he's an idiot), and when running away with it, it flew out his pocket hit a wall and then hit the ground.
It's not in the best of shape... The touch keys now stand out about 1-2mm from the rest of the phone, the back cover doesnt fit on right, and the sdcard falls out with no assistance needed.
I'm under o2 and got the phone in may, anyone know if their warranty or HTC covers this? I'm guessing not but what do you think? I still have like 18 months left of the contract so would like to have a phone in proper condition if possible...
Er.... No. Insurance is your only hope. Or getting your friend to buy you a new one

Thought that was the case just checking. Found a site online that can supposedly do a casing replacement for £50 so I'll look into that (and murder + charge my friend).

Dude....get the full body replaced by HTC and they will charge u for it....and may take around a month to get the full body as they order it from Taiwan..if u luck they may have it in stock....just got a full body replacement as the paint was fading...free of cost....O2 will take more time to fix it for u....so the best way is to get it done via HTC...call them up and order for a full body or visit ur nearest HTC shop.....hope ur phone is fully working....

Murdering of friend of yours will be best way to fix your problem
I got in touch with HTC, and whilst they were very helpful, they apparently can't tell me how much it would cost to repair until I send it to them. Then if I don't like their quote I have to pay £22 anyway for them to send it back, and then it would achieve nothing. Does anyone know if the following site is trustworthy?
http://htcphonerepairs.co.uk/HTC-Desire-S/Housing-Replacement-Desire-S.html
Do you have any HTC service centre in ur area...if so they can check and let u know the total cost to repair....if not get it done via O2....

The testimonials seem good and it is cheap. What have you got to lose?
I'm probably gonna go third party as it's easier and probably cheaper. Thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated!

In need of a replacement front cover, which includes the capacitive button area and LG area up at the top, along with the brushed metal color bezel. I was able to find this, http://www.parts4repair.com/lg-optimus-2x-full-housing-cover-brown/ but for the O2X, everything looks similar and I know the phones are practically identical, but are they EXACTLY the same?
don't quote me on this but i'm pretty sure the G2x is just a t-mobile branded O2x, so i would assume the hardware is the same

I thought so also, some pretty good prices on that site, but it's china. Who knows if I'm actually getting what's in the picture, everything there is LG and Google branded, I hope the same stuff comes in the mail!
I see tutorials about taking this thing apart, and they're all like 5-7 minutes long, so it shouldn't be that much of a chore.

Looking at eBay, there are US shippers that have bezels and front capacitive covers for like $30-$40 for both the g2x and HD7 that I need.
Now I have to get a Y cable with SD card reader to root my hd7, such a hassle.
