HTC Diamond Housing Cover

I recently just bought a HTC Diamond and was stupidly enough to drop it on the concrete floor ...
Is there anywhere where i can buy a front oem housing cover for this phone?
Tried purchasing one from HTC support, they refuse to sell me one as it will void the warranty.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

[Q] Cheap replacement parts? (Battery and SIM covers)

Hi,
My battery cover and the SIM / micro SD cover, get pretty loss..
Probably because of the over use...
Any way.. I was looking for some replacement parts, but all I found was very expensive.. (about 20 box for full set..)
Can you help me find please some cheap parts?
I don't really care that they wont be original and be Chinese..
I'm looking for only battery side cover, and the bottom SIM slide cover..
I don't need the flash cover but if its part of a fine full set deal then bring it on..
Thank you,
Yarden.

Combination pack I believe

Ebay is definitely worth checking - here in the UK, i got a replacement battery cover for just under a fiver.
Depending on the age of your device, you could also try sending a polite email to HTC support. A while back, I sent them message about my SIM/SD cover being loose, and they sent me a replacement at no cost to me. Took about a fortnight.
Official pricing for these parts (I've seen upwards of £15) can be quite extortionate...

Really?? You talked to HTC and they sent you replacement?
How'd you do that?
And yes I am pretty sure my device is still with the warranty..
Can you please explain how'd you do that and what I need for?
and also, thanks every one, but I think I found something for about 4.5 USD..

Thinking back, I remember submitting a polite request via their support webpage, stating that my SD/SIM cover wouldn't stay in place, and asked about obtaining a replacement. I didn't actually demand anything, and they just sent out a spare.

http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_nkw=htc+desire+hd+antenna+cover

My desire hd back body is bend as it fell down. where can i buy back body and flash lid as they are damaged I came across full back body housing costs 28 us dollars and its chinese I think so. In some online websites they have stated as original and few as OEM, which one should I buy.
Here one local repair centre person said if we buy chinese they might not fit correctly/exactly here and there might buldge or wouldnt fit part in appropriate position, since its too costly can any one help me by suggesting to get correct one! thanks. am from India.

If it says OEM the quality will be good as the original.
I just bought SIM and battery doors OEM in few bucks and the quality is great

I bought replacement battery and sim cover cheap from Amazon

White back Door!

Hey.. I was wondering if this door will work with my t-mobile Sensation 4G since i don't see no difference and the description say's "Not for T-mobile Sensation". I don't see why it's not going to work. If anyone wants to try, Please let me know
This is my first post, and i cannot post outside links, just Copy+paste on ebay the following to see the case :
for HTC Sensation 4G Z710e White Housing Back Cover Case Repair Fix Part ZVHS559

I just ordered one. I'll get back to you between Feb 14 and Feb 28 when I get it. However it looks exactly the same as the black replacement housing I bought. It's missing whatever antenna connection is there on the left under the speaker grill. I use T-Mobile in Spokane, WA and switching between my original back with the antenna and the replacement I can't notice a difference in 3G/4G, WiFi, BT, or GPS signal strength.
Thanks for pointing those out, I just looked 2 days ago for a white back for my wife's S4G and could only find the $100 listings. It looks as if someone over there just got a very large shipment of them as eBay seems to be flooded now. From the pictures it looks like it may not be a genuine HTC replacement part, but that shouldn't make a difference.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-HTC-Sen...er-Case-Repair-Fix-Part-ZVHS559-/300651021240
Looks fine. Most likely a counterfeit. But it should function just fine.

Been watching the prices of these..
I don't like how they were $25.00 dollars and because of the popularity of the product they raised the price to $100 even $40 dollars with S+H is over priced.
Regular Sensation housings are going on ebay for $15+ Brand New
So far cheapest price I could find on a white G18 housing is $31 dollars.

The extra connection point is for a second antenna. The non-US Sensation did not have this either. I'm guessing that the T-Mobile network just needed to have that extra antenna; otherwise, it would have too shoddy a connection...
I'm guessing that switching from the 4G to this casing (2 antennas to 1 antenna) would reduce your signal by a bit, but I would not be able to tell you how much that "bit" is. Anybody willing to run some tests?

There's a thread about this already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311155
People like I, are on tmous and have the back cover on without the 4th antenna. Results are same across the board, no wifi/data/4g reduction in signal. The back works fine on the Tmous networks.

I got mine for $40 on ebay. wifi, GPS, and mobile network work just fine.
I ended up selling the original cover for $30

Just got the back yesterday from the ebay link in the OP. Took it 6 days from Hong Kong. Works just like my other backs, as in there is absolutely zero difference in operation.

where are you guys finding the cover for $30-$40? I bought mine from no.1-tech back in november and paid $32 and then gave it to my wife, now looking for another one from the same manufactuer, and its $200+ lol when did the sudden price spike take place?! are there any white ones with out the beats audio logo on the back for that price range anymore?

white battery cover that is not gonna cost me 50 bucks?!

so i would really like to have my back cover replaced, mainly because i dropped it like skrillex... . anyhow, i would really like the black one with the red accents or a white one... but on ebay the prices are just soo much, a normal one is around 18 bucks, im ok with that but 30plus? i think is a little high, anyhow i just want to ask if anyone knows where is a good place with good prices to get either the white or black with red accents.
by the way im almost 100% sure they are all the same meaning the ones with red accents, beats audio is compatible with the tmo version and the other way around right?

good luck on that one i got my black and white covers for 50 on ebay

OEM directly with HTC without beats I think is just as much if not more if you call in for a warranty exchange of the back door.

Well it's not just any back cover. It's "unibody" aluminum and it has our antennas in it

The only WHITE back cover I can find in the US is on an Ebay listing for $56 and says it's for the Sensation XE. Any idea if this will work for the USA TMO Sensation?
My cover has got some wear and scuffs too and I'm looking for a re-fresh. I found one Ebay listing that used to sell them for $29, then bumped it up to $39, then bumped it up to $49 and finally, bumped it up to $249!! He's sold one at $249.

Not so sure about that because Non-TMO Sensations (and XE's by extension) only has 3 antenna contacts vs 4 contacts on the TMO version. It might work but they included 4 contacts there for a reason so your mileage will definitely vary.

There's a thread that already discusses this, but in short, I use it with the 3 contacts and everything works. I am on tmous in Texas.
No one knows why the 4th antennae is. I just know it works with the three provided.

Some people have speculated that that they flipped the contacts and for antenna diversity purposes.

But then why you can get a normal one for maybe 17 bucks? But the white one is a lot of money and the beats one is 30 plus... I really don't see the why on the prices differences, I'm sure the cost to put some red accents or white plastic is not that much to justify it.

It's more expensive because that's what people want to buy. Not as many people are looking for a stock replacement back cover... supply and demand buddy.

the same without the sarcasm please?? im well aware of that, i do still think is extremely high for just different colors...

I need to replace mine soon, but would like to know I'd the power button is included with a new back cover?
My Sensation had one to many falls and now is very hard to switch on and off. I hope that a new back cover and power button will fix this.

To be sure it's not your cover, take it off and press the power button without the cover. Be sure it's not the cover! Otherwise you'll just blow some cash for something you didn't really need! and yes, the power button is included as well as the volume

Just a bit of info, not every country that HTC in just sends a new back door.I'm arguing the toss with HTC UK because i need new volume buttons.They want me to send the whole device for repair as "they need to check serial numbers for warranty"

I actually lost my sim card cover and I cannot find one anywhere else, I tried to call HTC but they said that the phone is too new and they couldn't replace it. If anyone knows of a site that sells OEM parts hook me up

It says on the ebay link a few posts above that this is needed for your phone to work. That is a lie, I have removed mine and still kept all signal / wifi and even had a call without it..
i find that price a bit extortionate for a little piece of plastic.
Edit: A quick google search found this http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=233112&phone=229850 it works out about £5 cheaper, So surely if you look about some more you will find one with a reasonable price tag

I totally agree....the s3 is gonna be like their other ****ty build devices....something that at least feels like its metallic. Remember the hd2 back...I mean HTC makes better looking and feeling phones. Hardware specs is debatable but I love this phone with the exception of the memeory card and battery deals. But no cases for me either....they take away from how great and unique the phone looks

Pretty much positive that the speaker cover isn't supposed to be removed. You probably did break something in the process. Bust out the glue buddy.
