Does anybody have a spare front speaker grill? :( - HTC Sensation

Hey guys,
I bent my speaker grill out of shape when I was trying to brush the chrome frame around it on the front cover. I managed to fit it back in, but it looks like crap.
Does anybody have a spare speaker grill from a broken housing lying around? I can't find any on ebay and I'd be willing to pay a few dollars plus shipping (I'm in Australia).
Thanks,
zuka

You should check out your local mobile store, and ask if there are any dummy sensation phones knocking about. The manufacturers sometimes uses actual hardware when building the dummy ones, and I would imagine, if they're a bit nice, they might let you have one.
Worth a shot.

Touch Diamond Replacement Housing!! Help!!!!

I just dropped my diamond by accident while running to my car to avoid the rain =="....
It was in a PDA case, but it still somehow popped out of the case and got scratched up...
So I am in DIRE NEED OF A REPLACEMENT HOUSING!!!
lucky for me, the only damaged parts were the metal rim around the front side of the phone and the battery cover...
I am thinking of just getting an extended battery so i can get a new battery cover with it as well.
But I can't find the Replacement part for the rim around the front of the phone...
I took a lot at the phone and it seems easy enough to replace the rim....but i need to find the part first....
Please guys, any help will be very much appreciated....
Really need this housing replacement...can't stand looking at my scratched up diamond =(
phones still in its early stages so gonna be hard to get hold of housing so quick. Usually best place is here
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-c-277_533.html
but they only have screen and back plate at the moment
just be patient a little bit longer.
does that shop deliver quickly??
would it be possible to ask for oem parts directly from htc...?
i talked it over with htc canada today and it may cost upwards 100 CDN to fix the cosmetic damage =(
no insurance?
uh no...i've never insured a phone before....
never thought it would the belt clip would break and let the phone fall and get scratched =="
argh...
any ideas on what to do...
should just take out the rim and touch it up myself ^^"....
oh i've got an idea =D!!!!
I can buy a dummy phone and replace it directly that way...
right.....?

In a very rare occasion you can use dummy phones.
Mostly the inside is completely different, no way of using those dummies for housing parts.
Haven't seen a dummy Diamond yet, so I can't tell if it is usable, but mostly HTC dummies aren't usable.

i'm just lokoing to replace the outer rim on the front side of the phone and the battery cover....?
so maybe its possible...
ill drop by a local mall and see if its possible i guess....
loads of dummy diamond phones on ebay the last time i check it out.
i wouldn't say loads...
i saw a total of 4 =P lol
average 20-30 dollars CDN
which is fine for me if i can use it as housing and battery cover replacement
anyways heading out to check the dummy model =)
it doesn't work =(
its one giant piece, so i can't really take it apart to replace the piece i want...
How hard is it to take apart the diamond?
The invisible shield really stuffed up my screen. I can see parts flaked off the screen (looks like a thin protection layer) which is believe is the touch sensor itself. It has not affected the use of the phone but looks ugly.
EDIT: Home from work and did a search and found this: http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor-htc-touch-diamond/
Looks like a lot of work to get to the digitizer.
wow amazing find...was looking for a page like this...
aw man...the housing is one whole piece from what i can tell from the last picture...guess a DIY housing replacement is not really gonna be easy....
i'm gonna ask HTC for an estimate....
just minor cosmetic damage on mine on the corners so nothing too huge but it pains me to see it every time =(
at least this seems a bit easier than fixing the iphone....its so much work to put in a new digitizer cause of the way the housing is built
Looking for the Telus Black rear cover
If anyone finds a place that is selling the black rear battery cover for the CDMA version of the phone i would be interested.
anyone have any lucking finding a replacement housing?
I can provide the replacement housing
It cost about 36 euro
Like this??

Ive ordered from here before, and its a great place!
same here. Parts for Cheap!
Is the matte screen protector on there any decent?
I dunno. I've just ordered parts to fix phones, ie screens, keypads, etc and a few battery chargers. Going to love keeping a spare battery on deck again, stupid iPhone.
My Nexus one has a broken LCD but all they have on their site is the digitizer.. Hopefully I can find a replacement LCD soon..
cnn is great, but they ship slooooooow! Keep it in mind if you are on a tight schedule!
Those are not bad prices at that site!
bumpage for the morning folks
Can anyone tell me where to find lcd for nexus?
Nexus one replacement part needed
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part for the outer shell of the nexus one? The part i need is the aluminum frame that goes around the screen, earpiece, trackball and loops around the lower back... (Picture attached)
I dropped it and the scratches arent bad ont he plastic parts, but the aluminum part near the top (where the earpiece is) is chipped like crazy. Anyone know where I can get this part?
Or if I buy a mock up phone, will it disassemble into the same parts as the external casing for the real thing? Please help! Thanks!
anyone know where i can buy just an external speaker, mine is shot
possible replacement parts source
Searching around for parts for a friends Nexus one myself and found this for the housing.
http://mobile.brando.com/google-nexus-one-replacement-housing_p05399c0670d088.html
Also found this one who supposedly lists parts for the various sub-assemblies http://www.lunacommerce.com/154-nexus-one-spareparts
Have a email sent in to the last one for what they are calling the P/N LNC-GPGNOMB Google Nexus One Mid Chasis. Kind of sucks cause that is really 2 boards and Im only needing the small board that has the sim connector and sd card connector that sits on top of the main motherboard.
Have one broken pin on the sim card that is preventing the phone from being usable at this point and not able to find just the replacement sim connector or the board its on, instead the whole main board would require replacement. doubtful its gonna be cheap either. Anyone have a damaged unit with these cards they want to get rid of?
anyone else having problems using the lunacommerce site? i sent for an enquiry for a part and it said the price was sent to email but is not there?
good to know all these parts are available
Can you fix that SIM connector pin with solder?
Does someone know if the dummy phone have the same material as the real one?
I have also scratches in the aluminium around the phone, wondering if I can take apart the dummy and replace this onto my real one.
http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-dummy-phone-p-8442.html
Ive ordered from CNN as well, parts where nice and fit great... I too am interested in replacement body parts for the N1.
I just looked for some parts around Brando site...
If you enter "Nexus One" as a search string you get all parts they have:
http://mobile.brando.com/search.php?keyword=nexus+one&Submit=Product+Search
as for me, a bit cheaper that "CNN" proposes.

Wtf? For 80$ I can live with my scratches...

Does anyone sell Replacement outer cases?

I've managed to scratch the bejesus out of my captivate case, right beside the camera. Anyway, does anyone, anywhere sell that? Everybody seems to have the batteries, screens, etc but not this part.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-NE...191922?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c05f3e72
ebay has a couple different sellers with the back housing. This is the cheapest I saw in a quick search
That's awesome. Thank you. What about that top section where the headphone jack is? Does anyone sell that with the usb port cover? My mom broke hers somehow......
Search Ebay for "i897 housing".
there are tons of results.
Cool....what part has the USB door and the headphone jack?

Camera ring on back cover?

Does anyone here know where I'll be able to get the ring around the camera for the sensation?
The ring is attached to the back cover from the inside. A picture is attached to show you.
My ring fell off while I was removing the battery from my phone when it froze on me and its been letting more dust get into my phone so I'd really like to get a new one to replace it.
If anyone would like to give me the ring or the whole back cover all together I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks XDA,
-Phillip
It's to prevent dust? Meh, I lost mine, I work in construction where there's a massive amount of saw dust in the air to make Foxconn factory air pale in comparison. It gets a ton of dust and saw dust in their but I don't really care. Upgrading to One XL!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem as you.. the ring fell off..
You should be able to buy the hole back-cover for 40,- bugs on the htc accesoires website!
Cheers!
you could reattach it with super glue... my volume rocker fell of and i used alittle superglue applied with a toothpick now i cant tell the difference. if you still have the ring with you
The ring is in the cover? Sorry haven't paid attention since I got the Sensation just a week back. I had to get a new back though, if the ring is in the cover, here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/250938664345
The most I'd ever pay for just the ring would be 3-4 USD.
I don't need a new back cover since mine is fine and has no issues whatsoever.
I just need that damn ring, my OCD is killing me.
This little part you talking of? I took it out of the cover I replaced. If you want, I can send it to you?

Message me.
Just recently noticed that I've lost the shroud around my camera as well. It's really bugging me too, I looked all over for it. I too can't justify buying a new back just for this small piece. Hopefully I can find a good deal on ebay or find a damaged phone locally on craigslist.
I have the ring and yet dust still gets in :s

This ring fell out recently on my Sensation too but I realized it and put it back in.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Was the ring put in some kind of clamps which broke or was it just bad glue that needs to be replaced now?
Just glue it. Won't really ruin anything. But just be careful not to glue the lens. As for replacement. I tried checking eBay, etc for ya but couldnt find any. I think what you can do is buy a new housing/battery cover. They cost about $26-30 on eBay.

Does this ring also have glass, or is it just a ring?

The housing/ backcover on all4celluar dot com is only 17 bucks. The stock one not the white.
My sensation xe back cover had became loose over time. I emailed HTC about this and within 2 weeks they sent me a new one out free of charge. You might want to look into this

Do you have to send in your whole phone, give them your serial number, or sen pictures of the phone?
My phones warranty is already voided through software (S-off) and hardware (void seal broken)
all they wanted from me was name, adress and proof of purchase (i sent them a picture of my phones4u contract). I didn't have to send phone or anything away.
I would also recommend this solution, i'v had very good experience with HTC when I had problems with my desire battery swelling (probably because of using high power led flash too often). They only asked for a copy of the receipt and the shipping address.

[Q] What is the purpose of LCD Rear Metal Plate? Good place to get screen?

Hi everybody!
I just got used Moto G, cheap There is problem with the unit: bottom half of the screen doesn't work (the digitizer). Guy told me he dropped it but I don't see any cracks or scratches...
So I followed video from youtube and disassembled it.
Now. My unit doesn't have two pieces: it doesn't have blue cover tape over LCD/digitizer connector and it doesn't have LCD Rear Metal Plate between board and digitizer...
Is it normal? Or looks like somebody took apart before me?...
It's Canadian unit, from Telus (if it matters).
And next question: what place do you recommend to get replacement screen/digitizer from?
Thanks!
Etradesupply. Or phonepartsusa if they have them. Last I looked they were $30-40 US or so. I Am unsure of the aluminum shielding. My assumption would be for conductivity to ground the digitizer but that's just a hunch. There were early model touch screen phones that would not register touch when you laid the phone down without holding it. I think my old HTC eris was that way. Before buying a display, I would watch the videos again and check where the tape is during disassembly and use masking tape on those areas and put back together. Worth a shot I would think.

Thanks for reply!
Yes, I checked etradesupply. They have this part only in HK warehouse. And during ordering procedure they show some message about custom fees for private customers and suggest to register company with them...
Anyway. I found couple on eBay from one seller. But he calls this part "inner heat shield". So it cost me $7 plus $7 for shipping from LA to Canada (still cheaper than etradesupply).
So now I'll order new screen+digitizer from aliexpress and start my trial
Thanks again!
