Where to buy the original HTC Diamond Backside

Hi to all,
does anyone know where the original HTC Diamond backside can be ordered?
Unfortunately O2 (may be other german providers also) sells this phone with an different backside (feels rubberised).
Hope someone knows where i can by that. May be not at ebay.
many thanks

took me 30sec to find the back cover

found it...
many thanks!

i dont get it, any of back covers in ebay doesnt include camera lens cover
from expansys piece of plastic costs so damn much

click me
cheers

Hi. After a long search, only back cover from Expensys has lens cover built in. Other models (eBay ...) don't have this part include in the cover ...
And another thing, the price on expensys increased last week from 19 Euros to 30 Euros even if there is no stock ... :-(

extra parts
Hi Guys, you can buy almost every part (for your mobile phone) at Cnn.cn
check it out, they update there inventory. so don't worry if your part isn't there at this moment. They ship from hongkong, takes a bit more then a week (to the netherlands). If ebay doesn't have it try it here.
See ya

2 shipped to canada for $150! omg im staying home for a week! that ALOT for a half ounce of plasitic!

You mean you have the rubberised cover and want the original shiny one??
I hate the shiny one and would swap for the rubberised one in a flash. Been lookin everywhere to buy it but can only find the shiny one.
If anyone has found the rubberised one please let me know.

Another place to get this is from Brando, http://mobile.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03501&dept_id=088&cat_id=0670

Replacement Touch Pro LCD Compatibility/Retailers/Fitting

I'm hoping someone can help, I've been without my touch pro for about a month now after I sat on it whilst drunk and smashed the LCD!!!
I've been trying to find someone who sells replacement LCD's and not been able to find anyone. Does anyone know where I can get one?
I have managed to find a Diamond one quite cheaply on ebay, but does anyone know if it compatible with the touch pro? I've looked at my friends diamond and from the outside looks the same. It also has the same dimensions and specs.
I hope someone will be able to help, I'm having to use a crap SE T280i which can't even go on the net!!

It might be possible to get it warranty repaired by HTC, or at least repaired by them (you may have to pay for it if the warranty doesn't cover it).
What country are you in, as that will make a difference to shipping and availability.

Hello,
I have a similar query too. Do diamond lcd ( Not digitizer ) fit to at&t fuze?
Just because, diamond lcd screen are cheaper then fuze.
As far as product image, both looks same but need someone to confirm if it works for fuze also. Please help to save few $$$.
Thanks...
Best Regards

yees, mine too... did a bad thing to the screen so it has 3 blue spots due to extreeme presure to the screen.
found lot of stuff in eBay but I don't recommend it because I once ordered a battery replacement (made in HongKong) for my TouchPro and it wont perfectly fit. So it kind of shocks me to shop in eBay...
mine is Asian Touch Pro (T7272)

I brought at&t digitizer from hongkong and its perfect. I don't think all the items from hongkong are bad. And most of things I brought from hongkong ( ebay ) were perfect, especially car products.
unfortunately I broked lcd, digitizer and flex cable while I was installing new digitizer. So now I have to buy new flex cable and lcd ( without digitizer ) which costs nearly 70$.
Already brought flex cable but suck on buying lcd. Just waiting to confirm.
Edit; Just now got reply from a diamond lcd screen seller. He said, we have asked the manufacture, and they told us it can not be used. So this should be clear but I already brought fuze lcd screen too as I don't wanna suck.
Best Regards

Shift Front Key Sensor - Where Can I buy one?

This: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-Shi...472?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a20104c60
I need one of these as i ripped the one in my fiance's phone. 25$ is a little pricy, and I almost just thought about buying a phone with a broken screen/digitizer and taking it out of there, but cheapest i can find on that front is $40-60. All the sites i've contacted that sell the digitizers and front housing assemblies do not carry this piece. Is it really that rare?
Any help is appreciated.

It's a bit high, not by much. I've found it for cheaper, but you have to buy more than one unfortunately.

Oh well then. I know I'd seen the digitizers ranging from $22-$45, and then found it on amazon for under $7, so i thought I'd ask around, see if maybe someone knew about a site I didn't.

I'd still do a bit more searching. You never know . You might come across another site that's cheaper. I usually search around for at least a few days before buying. Another approach you may want to try is searching for places that sell parts for the OG EVO 4G. They usually also sell parts for the Shift, and other HTC Devices.

Found it on that store's website for $10 cheaper. Link for anyone else who may need it:
https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=8015
or found completely by accident, incidently after i've already ordered the other one, for $8.99

Can you share a pic of your Z1C with this screen pls?

i've got some through a dutch shop, costing me 77Eur, seems to me that it isn't exactly same as original sony as colors were quite different (too much saturated/red).
now it's only WITH a frame, not sure if that's easier to deal with for repair:
http://telecom2day.com/sony/sony-xp...ay-lcd-unit-met-frame-sony-xperia-z1-compact/
ps, aliepress is not fast in delivering stuff, so if you want it before the end of the year, better look somewhere else

I bought this one and mounted it myself, and i have'nt noticed any difference in quality from the original display. Just make sure to watch a video tutorial on how to change it.
Adhesive tape and correct tools was not included, but ordered from china.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221822457294?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Some how, I got unlucky and touch input broke down on me. Tried a lot,but phone is written off now. Went to nexus 5x and happy.

I bought a display from ebay for 30$, and it is working great. Not original though, but have'nt noticed any difference at all. Been using it for 3 months without a single problem.
It was this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/UK-Touch-Disp...i-Compact-M51w-D5503-/221822457294?nav=SEARCH

To people who ordered from ebay: Which glue did you buy?
And what does it mean "no frame" ? Do you need to salvage this 'frame' from your broken screen?
I just broke my screen. Dropped it from 20cm at just the right angle I guess I've been doing some research, looks like you can't replace only the digitizer without special tools?

I've got mine from Ebay, it came with glue also. It has the same colors like the original one and it's working flawless for 5 months now.
Here is the link for the display I've bought.

Hello,
let me throw another hat in the ring: I bought my screen assembly from parts4repair, they sell them starting at 32 €. I bought the one for 42 €, as it is supposed to be the original replacement part. I did not realize any different colors. Delivery took about 6 weeks and packaging was really good (stable, well protected).
In another thread I already posted about this little project, here it is again:
I did completely disassemble my Z1compact recently and replaced back housing and the screen, using adhesive stickers (they were even said to be the original, real deal. I cleaned the contact areas with cleaning alcohol prior to reassembling the phone, so everything was just as intended). Everything worked fine, looked just as new - but after only 2 days, the adhesive did already start to loosen again in different areas!
I told a friend of mine about the problem (he fixes mobile phones the whole day long, as a profession), and he answered that they never use the stickers, but a special kind of silicone! The important part is, that it is a silicon which hardens without releasing acid (normally acetic acid is fumed out), so the electronic circuits do not become damaged. I bought one like this: Silicon Adhesive and everything worked fine It's been two months now and there are no problems, it's even water proof again.
Some comments: The silicone needs at least 24h to harden, I placed my phone under 4 heavy books in order to apply steady pressure during that time. That may have been a little bit too heavy, however, because the screen is a little bit lower than before and I can see small, somewhat "lighter" areas right where the contacts of the screen are, just the kind like pressing your finger on a lcd display too much. So better use only 2 books during hardening the silicone
Happy tinkering!

I got the same problem with my phone - I broke digitizer on my weekend trip... I don't know guys if it's an option for you, but in Poland you can replace screen much cheaper:
https://www.w-support.pl/klienci-indywidualni/koszt-naprawy.html (sorry, it's in polish... w-support is official Sony service - whole screen replacement costs 399 PLN (less than 100€)

I bought LCD with digitizer, tools and glue for about 200PLN (less than 50€) and the seller claims it's an original one... Of course there may be some problems with foreign shipment but I think it shall work in EU for most of the sellers.
I let you know in a few day - I am waiting for delivery right now...

I just bought a 30E sceen from ebay and it pretty bad because of the gamma levels...tried to adjust with white balance and it got a bit better..but still nowhere near as good as the original. For a 30euro screen i think i'll live with it..

Wysłane z mojego D5503 przy użyciu Tapatalka

Yeah, that's great!

I made a post HERE about a water damaged screen, long story short after buying two cheap screens online and sending them both back for a refund because I wasn't happy with either of them I bit the bullet and sent my phone to Sony for a genuine OEM replacement to be fitted. Neither of the cheap screens came with the ASF and didn't have the foam that was attached to the back of my original.

you must really love your z1c to pay that money,hope you enjoy it!
so it s a big difference sony OEM screen vs the cheap ones?
i replaced mine with cheap one(two times) and both times found the colours <<washed>> and low brightness too in comparison with OEM.

A few People have said to me just buy a new one, but I do love it and want to keep it to use as my spare when I finally do, I want another Compact but the last few just haven't done it for me. It's killed me using my old Xperia Ray this last week and still have another week and a half to go. Going to flash GB to it this weekend and see if that makes it more bearable.

The first screen had lifted a little so that made me question the adhesive too, from reading online I then thought it was because I hadn't cleaned the frame properly, so made sure I had before laying the second screen, but that eventually started to lift too. I found the same as you in regards to the screen, the colours just weren't right and had to use full brightness which then obviously chews through the battery. I even reflashed my phone to see if that made a difference, as we know there are two different panels used I thought maybe when the phone gets reflashed it may configure it for the display that's attached but it didn't.
If the X Compact had a better spec I would have bought it and a cheap screen for the Z1C as that would be going in the wardrobe along with the Arc S and Ray hopefully never to be seen again for another 50 years, but as it's going to be my daily for a little while longer I just want it perfect.
UPDATE:
Just heard back from Sony today and not good news. First of all they emailed me to say a quote was available to view in my support which basically said it was uneconomical to repair and offered an equivalent phone for a cost of £250+, baffled by their quote and comments I then got straight on the phone as all my Z1C needs to function is a screen , the operator told me to get the phone back to a guaranteed status the technician had wanted to replace more parts. To a degree I can see where they are coming from but having already had two screens on with no issues other than the poor quality of them it's quite annoying.
So as my hand has been forced a screenless Z1C will be going on ebay as soon as I get it back, and I'll be ordering a Z5C tonight.

Help with lcd replacement kit!

Ok guys I just ordered the cheapest lcd replacement kit(lcd+digitizer without frame) in just 1500₹(~22dollars) from eBay.
Link- https://m.ebay.in/itm/For-OnePlus-O...zer-Without-Frame-1-1-/272463439560?hash=NDY=
P.s.- I applied coupon so don't ask ques like how I got it in such less.
And it is sort of unbranded...
So my ques is that anybody tried any unbranded/generic brand lcd replacement? Is it worth the price and will it work fine? Should I cancel the order if you have better options?
I can get refund if it doesn't work but that's only in like 90% of the cases so what are your suggestions on it?
Thanks!

Looks like you could potentially end up with issues with this screen, if not now, later. If you venture over to /r/mobilerepair, the sidebar has some very good part sources. In my experience, most of the parts of ebay and amazon were "reject" parts that have been refurbished. That said, for a lot of legal reasons, it's hard to find replacement parts with oem logos. Never skimp on yourself when buying repair parts, as you really do get what you pay for in this industry.

So what do you suggest?
Delivery from aliexpress takes 20 days to here so I don't think I can actually order from that.
Finding an oem one in resilient price is challenge.

You're going to have to forget the idea of buying OEM, OEM replacement parts don't exist. The closest thing you'll find are OEM-grade or oem-equivalent. Have you ever repaired your OPO or any phone before? If not, I would suggest this one:
http://m.repairsuniverse.com/oneplus-one-lcd-touch-screen-assembly-with-frame-replacement.html
It has the frame attached, so there won't be any excessive getting or prying at glass, just transfer all the little stuff over.

Yes sir,I do have experience with repairing phones,hardware and stuff and I can easily detach lcd from the frame.
I know eBay is not that trustable but can you see the link that I have given and tell me if it looks promising.
Thanks!
Edit: How can I see if the lcd replacement is OEM-equivalent or not? By it's price,brand or what?
Because the one I have ordered on eBay is unbranded but also the link you gave,doesn't carry any brand name either.
Thanks again.

If i'm not mistaken for OPO there only two manufacturers that makes those LCD replacement...JDI (original manufacturers) and LG (if i'm not mistaken)....there no way to find out which manufacturers that makes those LCD by looking that ebay or something but you can find out when you look closer once it got in your hand....
there two way to find out whether you bought a good LCD or not....
1. look at the hardware button - none original will have a dim/fade light on hardware button....
2. screen brightness - you will notice the differences when you moved the brightness to 100% or to the lowest...
