Would the kind people of xda offer me a bit of info for in car chargers please.
There seems to be a few different styles on ebay, i was wondering if anyone could tell me which ones are genuine htc ones and which arnt?
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=...charger&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
Thanks
or could someone let me know which shops sell the genuine ones for a decent price?
thanks
Only go for an ebay listing which clearly states CC-C200 as the model number.
Mobile phones direct (google it). I had it as a gift with my desire.
Apparently fake chargers won't charge the phone if e.g using it as say nav. Mine is fine and can't moan about it. I think price is about 14 quid

or the C300 if you want dual USB slots so you can charge 2 phones at once.
PS. the C200 (with a miniUSB cable) also comes as standard on the HTC Cruise 2009 version.
Desire Charger
Hi, after buying a charger from ebay that was as much use as none at all, i just bought a micro usb charger from tesco @£3.99 no waiting for delivery and it is fantastic, i really need sat nav (in the emergency services) and use my desire to get where i need to be. The tesco one is great. hope this helps
I've seen a bunch of battery on eBay. But I'm worried since their mostly from China. Does anyone have experience with one of these or know of an official desire or inspire battery?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I haven't seen one yet. Those cheap batteries often are no where near the capacity they claim so steer clear for now
I bought one from eBay for $4.89. It claims to be 1600 mah. So far it hasn't given me a problem but the battery life seems to be about the same than the official one.

why pay so much for battery? i got charger at home, car, work. less then $15.
There are quite a few other 1600mAh Desire HD batteries on eBay, mostly in Hong Kong, one in Canada, for significantly less than the $103 price. That's just an insane amount of money to pay for a battery. Personally I'm happy to find one that performs as well as the stock battery and pair it with a plug-in charger so I can swap mid-day if needed. It would be killer to find a battery charger for the car too.

Well the reason people buy extended batteries are because they're away from some type of charger, or don't want to hassle with a charger all day. I am one who wants to get the maximum possible out of a device, without compromising on reprogramming things to conserve battery. I'd LOVE to see a 1600 mah battery that got good reviews, but thus far everyone says since they're made with cheap chinese cells, it's really a 1200 mah battery labeled 1600.
I do plug the phone in while in the car, but it would be nice to have a spare battery charging while on the go as well, sort of a charge it and forget it type of thing in case it's needed while out.

I'd say the same but the replacement procedure for getting the phone open is such a hassle, I'd prefer an extended length battery, lol

This auction is back down to $4.89. A lot of the time, when a retailer is out of stock of something, they'll jack up the price of the auction, rather than having to pull/repost the auction. This way they don't have to pay the fee to have it removed/readded, but no one in their *right* mind would buy one. I've seen this a lot with Inspire accessories...no one can keep anything in stock.
I ordered this one from Amazon and it is from HTC.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CWWWJ4
And if it is garbage I can use Amazon's A to Z return policy, so I am covered. I would rather try Amazon before I would use E-bay, with Amazon there is always a way to get your money back with e-bay there is not.

That's not FROM HTC that's FOR HTC and fully after market. Boo.
So I wanted to find a cheap car upgrade kit that was OEM but there didn't seem to be anything outside of $60 even on eBay. Then I stumbled on http://www.all4cellular.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=htc+sensation&cat=&x=0&y=0 after some random Google searching. Looked sorta shady at first but I placed an order for the OEM CUK and lo and behold, a couple days later, I got a genuine kit with an HTC box (with the $60 price tag!) for under 20 bucks. I noticed they have the OEM dock for cheap, as well as some other OEM related goodies.
Not sure if they ship internationally for you fine folks across the border/water. I can post pics when I get home from the library tonight if you guys want. Also, I checked seller ratings and the site seems reliable enough. I just wish this kit could be reassigned to open up a different app than HTC Nav
Sorry if this is a repost, I tried searching. If not, enjoy!
Unfortunately shipping to The Netherlands costs around 30 euros :'(

It sure can.
1) Remove the Htc Laputa and Location related apk's from /system/app (but do not delete the HtcLocationService!)
2) Remove the DockMode.apk, and replace it with a DockMode.apk from a T-MO RUU (or T-MO based rom)
3) Install the HtcCarPanel.apk
Done. Now when you dock, it will launch the lovely HTC Car Dock.
I know details are sketchy, but I can put up the necessary files if need be tomorrow.

Tried this but I maybe I didn't have the right files. HCP.apk wouldn't open after it was installed. Do I have to delete Laputa and Location or can I just freeze them?
Whoohoo - finally was able to afford the HTC car dock. Hopefully it comes, like the OP said, the reviews for the site are good, I also used paypal to check out so they didn't get my CC info.
Also use this coupon code for 5% off: a4c6a7
I wanted to update, I ordered the HTC car dock from these guys and received an incorrect item (they sent me a bluetooth headset, worth more on their site). I thought "oh great, I just got scammed."
I emailed them and the quickly responded with a new tracking number and paid return shipping for the bluetooth headset.
Anyway, if anyone is worried about ordering from these guys I can say, in my case, that they were very responsive. It sucks they had the mix up, but they did what they could to make it right (they even cross shipped, newegg doesn't even do that!).
And the OEM car dock is just what I was looking for. It's still not worth $60, but for $20 it's a steal.
Sweet find, just ordered to micro usb cables. Just to see if their good. All goes good I'm ordering that evo3d battery from there! lol 10% coupon btw.
Thanks for this dude, only wish they had the white battery cover for the sensation for $25 plus the 10% coupon? I would have brought it in a heartbeat.
Thank you! Just bought the dock!!

Ordered the car dock.. I have been wanting one of these ever since I got the S4G in June. $19.05 total after discount.
I hope it is robust as the car dock that I used with N1.
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.

Yeah, I've been using my black housing for about 6 weeks now and haven't had any issues. I use GPS all the time for navigation, and I use WiFi and bluetooth tether with my W7 laptop and TF101 tablet on a regular basis. I can't tell the difference at all.

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.

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?

I've been looking everywhere for a genuine original HTC Desire battery, but it seems impossible to find them! I've even ordered an expensive one from an eBay seller, but it's just a fake, which looks very similar on the front side but has different backside. It says "Manufactured by Formosa Electronic" in very small text.

Have you been able to recently find a genuine HTC battery for normal price, like around 10 pounds?
It's funny that you ask because I have been looking for a battery today. I found this website that appears to be genuine http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc.aspx but it isn't cheap (about £35).
I'll look forward to the feedback on your other options. I bought one for a Sony Xperia (not mine) for £8 from Amazon and it was fine, but the reviews for the Desire batteries don't look good.
Hi,
recently i bought a "geniue" Battery for my Desire on ebay from a german seller.
When it came, it appeared to be original, but when i installed it, it gave me constant voltage and temperature values. So it was a faked one. I sent it back and became one behaving exactly the same. So i got my money back.
The next one was on Amazon, but not directly from Amazon. It also looked original, but it didn`t fit perfectly and it didn`t even charge. I´m waiting for a replacement atm. I´m still hoping to get a good one. All were about 10 Euro
so 7 pound?
regards

And the genuine one is 35 pound?
eBay 101 - lesson one - when something looks too good to be true, chances are it isn't.
Original one is around 30€ from registered reseller, 40€ HTC original
I think it's worth telling which seller did we buy from.
The fake which looked almost like the original was from "phonemarketuk" on eBay.
Now I've ordered one from "FoneM8store" from Amazon UK. I'll report when it arrives!
Before I was able to buy an original one from a seller for 7 pounds, so there is hope!
If there is nothing else, I think the best route is to go with PolarCell from Germany.
I´m not sure if it is allowed to post seller´s names here?
I tested the one from Amazon with my battery tester. It had about 1000mAh so the problem is not only the missing of values, but it has also less capacity than the original. Mine has about 1200mAh after 1.2 years.
But the worst was when i applied 5Volts to the Battery, it didnt switch off. So
this could be dangerous if anything in the charger circuit goes wrong.
Hi,
a few days ago the replacement was delivered. This one is original, and has about 1300mAh, so it seems that it was liing around some time.
But all in all ok, cost: 9,60€
Seller: WUSAR (who wants to give it a try)
on ebay, only boxed versions
I've got mine from amazon.de. After two sellers sold me fake ones (in a little plastic bag) for about 10 Euro I bought one directly from amazon. The result: I got a little HTC Box which a genuine battery for about 15 Euros. I dont think amazon.co.uk will sell you fake ones if you buy them directly from them.
Can you post a link? In Amazon.co.uk at least I've spend _ages_ looking for a genuine but there was none, and Amazon wasn't selling any directly.

Hi!
HTC SAV recommended me the HTC Accessory Store as the official HTC reseller. The battery for HTC Desire is expensive (~40 Euros) but I'm bored searching for the cheapest OEM one after being deceived from 2 reputated sellers (not on ebay) with fake ones.
Has anyone ever ordered the battery from that site (htcaccessorystore.com which is in fact Expansys company) ?
And the real question is : is that the genuine one that came with the phone and can be calibrated... ?
Thanks!

I think the conclusion was that the only way to get genuine battery is to buy from the main Amazon.de shop. Be careful, not to by from a reseller, but from the amazon.de seller. Also, on this page one of them is fullfilled by amazon and it says 100% original, it might work.

You can look for a AOONEN BB99100 BATTERY FOR DESIRE A8181 on ebay: I bought one 3 month ago and it is a very reliable battery, last the same as than the original one.
I'm very pleased with it.
