Just wanted to let those who were interested in the replacement battery back that is silver and black from the seller "Cellapod" on ebay that NO, it does not fit the US Tmobile Sensation. I took some pictures comparing the two backs, and they look like this. I would link but I cant with my post count just yet.

Replacement:
As you can see, in the replacement the bottom left corner is missing, as if it were cut away completely. I tried it on the phone regardless, and almost got the case stuck on when I attempted to force it. I checked in the bag to see if it just broke off, and i checked the case to look for any mechanical stress signs of breakage, but no, it looks like its part of the design. So unfortunate, the silver and black back is just plain sexy. If anybody gets one that works, please tell me!
Makes me wonder though which model of Sensation it was made for, does the unbranded one have a different body?
\Your pictures do no display but I was contemplating buying one of these but I came to the conclusion they are not legit. The one I saw had the 'pin hole' next to the speaker missing, so I decided againsed it.
edit, this is the one I was refering to
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...&searchstring=sensation+back+&urlrefer=search
I'm surprised you ordered from a seller with 117 negatives in the last 12 months, 17 in the last month, although they seem to sell a lot of stuff and be a power seller...
Did you order the one in the attachement? It says it's an original HTC accessory, however I've not seen a silver and black back yet.
Will look forward to seeing the broken corner in your pics.
EDIT: Yes that is the item Im talking about, in the link and the attachment.
Thats exactly what had me pull the trigger, they were a huge seller, so I figured that that 17 negative vs 3266 positive seemed like a mere fraction...Too bad it didnt turn out that way =/
Im not sure if its just because its my Picasa account (though I tried it when I was logged out of it too) but in Chrome I can right click the broken picture links and choose "open image in new tab" and see them. Have you tried that yet? I cant post up links yet since I dont have enough posts.
Sorry I'm unable to see anything in your post that can be right clicked to view. I'm sure others would be interested to see the fault so keep posting!
I don't blame you for ordering from them either but eBay can be a right pain in the a*se at times. Are you returning it?

Hmm interesting. I can see that the bottom of the new one has broken off on (both?) sides. Contact the seller and ask for another one.
So I recieved my battery door I ordered from Cellapod today......
They sent me a factory back door instead of the Silver/Black one
I ordered Needless to say im fuming pissed right now .
Now comes the waiting game

Also found on eBay, slightly cheaper and stock ETA is 4th of May:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-HTC-D..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches?hash=item5d28bcbc33
is that a strap that goes over the desire and velcro onto the case?
also does the desire fit in all the way as in the pic it looks like it does not go in all the way

Even cheaper if you buy directly from their site. £10.00 including UK delivery. www.supergps.co.uk
I know, I just bought it on ebay for £11.99 and then remembered they'd got a website and foolishly looked to check on the price - wish I hand't bothered!
PLAY.com has it as well coming out 15th may
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...e-Google-Nexus-One-Pouch-PO-S520/Product.html
might just go for this http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-po-s491-desire-standard-leather-pouch-black-p24270.htm same as above without the velcro pull thingy which would just get on my nerves.
edit: Just did a search for the same item on the handtec site and it comes up as a hero/legend case. On that basis it looks like a mistake by mobilefun so I would avoid it.

It's not a velcro strap...it's a pull tab, which makes it easy to gain access to your phone...you pull on the tab and phone slides out.
Does anyone know if the inside of the case is lined with microfibers? Or if it's just leather lined? Know it's not released yet...but wondered whether anyone who has had experience of HTC pouches could shed any light on it...
If it's like the HD2 pouch then it'll be lined, hope so anyway
Just seen that this is now expected to be released mid-July!!!
Bit of a piss take if you ask me
If you search on google, lots of retailers advertising as releasing 7th or 10th May mostly. Except expansys and htcaccessortstore (which is expansys anyway) which are advertising July.
Hope it is available from 10th May. Looking forward to get one.
BTW has anyone tried ths pouch from amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-PREMIUM-Slip-Pouch-Desire/dp/B003K03B44/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
Only £0.95 and for £0.96 you can get 5 x screen protectors. Is this true?
I bought the screen protectors off them and they are top notch. I'm tempted to try that cover incase it is equally as good. Wish I had spotted it and I could have saved 2 quid shipping.
JAmes.
I was looking for the HTC metallic cases online, and found them on many sites for $19.95, which I didn't want to pay after seeing some posts on here saying the clips wore down. I found them on htcpedia.com for $8.99 for metallic, and $9.99 for the clear and black ones.
Links:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-metallic-hard-shell-cases.html
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-hard-shell-cases-1.html
I've never purchased from them but you can use Paypal and there are customer reviews on the products so I gave it a shot. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested!
What do you mean by metallic? are they metal or metal apearance with a plastic build..
That's just what HTC calls them, I don't know. Look at the pics?
Does metallic mean they're like my case? Mine looks plastic but the inside of it is metal, something about the signal, I don't know for sure.
Hmmm, if someone does decide to order, would like to hear a review on the quality.

Search this forum. There previous posts about it. Also a user from here made a YouTube video about the black one. Just search for it on there.
Also ime metallic refers to color and not material.
Here, I got the links for you.
Metallic: http://www.youtube.com/user/wirelessground#p/search/18/UQObS6fsY6Q
Black/clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTpyMfm_WHM & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-OS12ileM&feature=related
I have the clear case. Bought it at my local T-Mobile store for $9.99. It has a very snug fit but looks amazing as it lets the sexinesss of the G2 show. The case has the stand which allows the phone to sit up on its own in landscape or portrait. Be careful pulling case off the back of the phone. Very tight and if not careful will scratch phone.

I think you're mistaken - these HTC cases don't have kickstands. I think Body Glove or someone made that one.
Anyway, just a quick review - my case got here in 2 days with Fed Ex (NY to IL), I'd definitely buy from that website again. The case made the phone seem bulky at first but after the first day I was used to it, and it doesn't seem odd at all anymore. I like the finish a lot. I would recommend these cases, especially since they're made by HTC and that gives them the best fit possible.

They are great, but they really get in the way when typing on the top row of keys.
Nonsense!
I wish shipping wasn't $6
hello everybody, my phone fell down on monday and the body got scratched, as i can see from the pictures posted here, i think i could replace it because of the mao failure issue, do you think it´s worth a try ? the phone is 3 weeks old
here are some pictures of it

If you're getting scratches that AREN'T due to the fall, then you should be able to return it. HTC has said that anyone with issues with it can return their device. Despite the damage that the fall caused, the MAO coating is faulty, and you should be good to go.
well i only had 2 scratches from the mao issues, that´s why i´m asking if it looks different from mao failure or does it look like real scratches ?
Those pics are way too blurry to take a guess.
What you dropped it on? Rocks, pavement, wooden front porch? The chips or flakes of MAO come off pretty clean, I guess if HTC gets a phone that has clearly visible scratches next to a "chip" they could decline free repair, because those scratches are a pretty sure fire way to tell.
Circumstancial
It depends. If you're going to take it back to a retailer, it'll be a coin toss. Due to Loss Prevention policies implemented by many retailers, they've become more and more stringent on exchanges. If you're willing to send it to HTC, I'm sure they'll send you a new/refurbished one since they've acknowledged the MAO issue.
Couldn't hurt to try.
But still it depends much on the way you dropped it (and on what). Mine fell from my pocket the other day and didn't get as scratched as one would have expected.
But I'm one of them with "a lucky phone" that doesn't have the flaw coating issue
If you put some good effort into it - you will most likely get it repaired.
i have been at the retailer´s store and showed them the "coating issues", they asked if i have my bill and everything with me (i didn´t because i just wanted to check if it is possible) and they said i should come back with everything and then i will get a new phone
edit: i have to unroot/relock bootloader if i´m returning it right?
Recommended
It's recommended that you wipe your phone to get rid of any personal information but most retailers won't check to see if the phone is rooted. As long as you are still at the stock ROM, then the sales associate may or may not have the ability to tell you have rooted it but they will most likely not care.
I hate to say that I have christened my Sprint Galaxy S5 by dropping it WITHOUT a case. Almost 3 months without incident!! When it dropped the bottom right hand corner specifically the chrome band around the phone is dinged. My question is does anybody know if there is a way to replace JUST that band, and if it is possible where to get it? Pictures to follow later tonight!

I buy the parts direct from china, not too sure about any online site, i'm sure some does sell it, also updated with a tear down link.
Thanks again!
Here's the part you'll need:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351070105491
I work for a repair shop and we get parts from these guys, so I can without a doubt vouch for the quality, price, and shipping time.
As for replacing it.... Good luck, you'll need it. The only way into the S5 is behind the screen which must be removed to open it up. It's glued down with superSam****adhesive so more likely than not you'll end up breaking the display or separating the display from the glass. If your screen is fine, it's not worth the cost of replacing your entire display just to replace the midframe.
Just in case, here's a display w/ the home button flex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351067874432
also need to buy the panel sticker adhesive and the display rim adhesive.
I got all these stuff apart from the panel adhesive, but traded my S5 yesterday for a Tab S 8.4.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks guys for your help! After looking at everything needed to be done I think you guys are right, I will just live with the nicks I have, and since they are a bit sharp, i'll use a dremel on low speed to grind down a little. Like I said thanks again for the eye opener!!!! LoL:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Just received my Pro and have an issue with the seal around the screen. There is some pieces sticking out and near the grill in the second pic you can see that the distance from the grill to the screen isn't consistent. Concerned about water and dust.
Anyone else have this issue?
I've contact 1+ and they want me to send the phone back for them to look at it and decide if it deservers replacement. They said it could take 7-10 days, 12gb/256gb models are 9 days out right now so I figure it will be longer. I can't be without a phone for 2 weeks basically. They can't cross ship even if I put down a deposit for the second phone.
Any suggestions?

Dude go see my post I just made in this forum. Run away, 90 hz isn't worth this.
Is this something you just noticed or is this something you typically inspect for with you get your phone(s)?
No issues on mine. Did you drop your phone OP? Is that even a oneplus 7 pro?
Yes it is and I just barely took it out of the box when I took the pic.

I just got back from exchanging mine. I didn't have a seal issue but my issue was the screen colors started to appear washed out after about 3 days of use. At first I thought it was maybe a setting or something until I rebooted into fastboot and recovery. The white text also appeared washed out on there. It was definitely a hardware issue. The screen eventually became an all yellow tint and was completely unresponsive to any touch input. I'm hoping it was just a lemon and I have better luck with my new one.
My device also is flawless on both sides. Great build quality as always when buying a Oneplus.
But yours definitely looks kind of odd and personally it would totally freak me out.
