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??

Hi Guys,
Just wonder any1 using it, review, especially the FULL BODY one?
link: shop.ebay.com/xtreme_guard/m.html?_nkw=lg+optimus+t
i am using it and can recommend it !!
will it work for my lg optimus one p500 as the discriptn was for optimus t
yes, it will

thanx i just bought it now
Built-in Screen Guard
I live in India, and "I think" the P500 here comes with a screen guard. There's this plastic screen which seems to be layered over the black screen bezel on my phone. I tried chipping it, and the edge of the plastic did seem to come off. So how do I know for sure.
Its highly probable the Indian version comes with a screen guard, since we pretty much get a fully loaded phone, along with 40 odd apps (Incl NDrive and Layar) and support for Flash 10.1.
i got a zagg full body protection and to me thats the best buy...i have it on my devices and quality is superb. also doesnt have that rubbery feeling and residue i get from others.
i swear best 20bucks i spent.
Ordered a full body from Zagg, thanks for the tips!
But there isn't optimus one on zagg. Is cover for optimus T equal to optimus one?

Yeah, I think so :
LG Optimus T (P509)
In the United States, T-Mobile released the LG Optimus T device that has the identical hardware features as the LG Optimus One with a distinctive software UI.

$5 is too much? Shipping is for free (to czech it was)
I just finished installing the full body protection, allthough the buttons and the silver binding aren't protected, is this normal? Or did I forget to put on something.
Also the squeezee tool you get for leveling the protector actually scratched the protector.
This isn't much of a big deal but kinda strange that a little plastic could scratch this millitary-grade material that easely. Did this happen to anybody else?

Holycrap, how did your P500 come with support for Flash 10.1? Mine also came with a screen protector, I'm in Australia. I thought all phones were supposed to come with them as long as you buy it from a reputable shop? On the top left of the screen protector, there's a square cut out and I have absolutely no idea what its for lol. But its the original cover and I've had no problems with it so far.

Well i just put on the Zagg Full Body Protection and now just leaving it over night to let it settle down. But yea looks great so far and i'll post some pictures in the following days for the end result.
Lol I'm from India and no we do NOT have flash 10.1 support, it just says so on the box and now newer models ship without that flash thingy written, so yeah.
The plastic that comes with the phone its just a temp protector, after a while itll peel out, start losing stickiness, become annoying, etc, its the same that covers every electronic screen/glossy part, a thin annoying film
My Xtremeguard arrived a few weeks ago, so far so good, applying it is a bit annoying but meh .
I ordered the digitizer from deal extreme that was around 30 bucks, it took about 15 days from the day of purchase to when it showed up at my doorstep in oklahoma. Coming from Hong Kong thats about average I think.
The digitizer itself is indistinguishable from the original HTC one, the replacement was not easy but it only took me about an hour and a half. If this was my first phone repair ever it'd probably have taken me 4 hours or so. If you have all the proper tools and have dissasembled a phone before it should be fairly easy and quick. The worst part is that the digitizer is glued to the frame on the nexus with firm pressure I popped the stock one out and replaced it with the new one using loctite brand superglue to affix the new one.
All in all I highly recommend this digitizer and if you have the tools and the time do it yourself I couldn't bring myself to pay someone over 100 bucks to fix my phone.
Cheers for the info, I bought one from eBay which looked identical in the picture. However when I received it, it lacked the bottom buttons and top curve meaning I had gaps at both the top and bottom. Long story short I need to purchase another in the coming weeks and was looking at this one, thanks again
Forgive my extreme noobness here, but digitizer - is it the thingy that's responsible for registering touches on the screen?

Yes it is. Its top part of the screen that you touch and that part that gets scratched/ broken when people drop it.

It seems to be more responsive than the stock one but I bet when the other one got cracked it lost some response so I don't have anything good to compare it to now.

Just wanted to let you guys know
Tonight I replaced the S-LCD for my N1 with an ebay one, and the speaker with an ebay one too.
It was stressful because there was always the chance you could break it. Thankfully it was a success* and I did spend a couple hours applying new BSE and Clarivue protectors too.
Phone feels like new (its only 2 months old btw...) hehe
N1 is a great developer phone truly. In all aspects of the word. I see it now!
*did scrape my bottom "U-cover" ..the one which has the HTC logo. A little teflon peeled at the edge with the plastic pry tools (they're really not too strong though and wore quickly i might add. Recommend using a guitar pick like i saw one guy use on the online videos).
Anyways, short of buying a replacement of the $11 part, I'm really please with this phone
Is it possible to swap the AMOLED screen with an SLCD screen or are there actual hardware differences between the two models preventing that swap?

Good question. I was going to say "No, because I read it somewhere on the forums that you can't" , but then I found this thread:
http://androidforums.com/nexus-one/...ny-way-backup-wipe-before-sending-repair.html
Turns out the guy sent his AMOLED N1 to HTC to get repaired, and that they changed it with an S-LCD without changing his scratched digitizer.
I'm guessing that they are cost effective and mindful with warranties, so I doubt that they would have changed the whole Mobo for S-LCD functionality.
Again, this is just heresay and postulation.
"Got jacked.. 180 euro and all they did was replace my cracked Amoled with an SLCD... the blacks and gradients on the SLCD are awful. I was told the cover glass came together with the amoled. Mine is a little scratched so that would have been worth the extra $$. I had gone online to look around and found out after I prepaid that the front glass and the amoled are completely separate. My prepaid receipt just stated repair screen... so I could not go after them for not swapping my front glass. Anyways rant over. Very happy to have the phone back but it is not the same without the amoled."

Hey bud,
I thought about this yesterday, but short of a definitive answer coming through from other devs, i thought I'd offer to mail you my S-LCD (pre-replacement one, with some minor humidity damage, only viewable at an above 39 degree angle)...to you for free* (just paypal me the shipping. It'll probably be like $5 by weight). Let me know.
Something has been confusing me for a while. When you purchase a digitzer without a housing, how do you attach it to said housing?
I'm planing on buying a white lg digtizer + new housing (as i dented mine after a few nasty drops), but noticed the white ones are only the digitzer, and do not come with any adhesive. Do I just "force it in"
Edit: Damn, Had multiple threads open, will ask to have it moved to Q & A

The digitizer i bought for my brothers galaxy s2 only required me to attach the little ribbons and screw it down. I'm sure it's similar on our phone.

i believe that "kit" would work. i dont see the need for the last item. as the first item comes with adhesive, and the digitizer itself should come with some adhesive in the back of it. atleast they usually do. but you can buy it for self insurance

be careful not to buy the cheap bad adhesive , some bad types doesnt hold the digitizer well enough , falls soon,
i think its better to buy it with the frame attached , much easier to assemble
The problem is no white ones come with attached frames
Have you had a bad experience with adhesive?

If your thinking of getting this phone get a case as soon add possible! That happened after my father dropped hood phone once. Now the bottom part of the screen where the on screen buttons are does not work. So he just went back to his GS3. I have not found any tutorials on how to replace the screen and digitizer or if just the digitizer.

I've smashed mine twice since november, today being the second time. 1st time it was in its flip cover case. This time, I took out of its case to lie in bed with it (cover gets in the way when you're on your back), went to the bathroom, fell out of my hands, 2 feet drop. Smashed again.
I have the Flip Cover, Otter Box Defender, now ordered the Incipio Leather Folio 2 in 1 and the Incipio Dual.
Figured if I had options I'd keep a good case on it constantly. Lucky I have insurance for it, 120$ deductable. I've reached my 2 claim max for the year though...
Most ...Fragile phone...ever...
I'm still getting a G2. Samsung uses versions of LED screens which have some chance of burn in, ghost images.
LG g2 is LCD. Yes there's a chance of dead pixel but I would rather take my chance with that instead.
Besides, LCD is easier to see on sunlight.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I dont use a case for my LG 4X HD. I have dropped it many times, no cracks. It depends on the build quality, weight, the way it fell and so on.
I find cases ugly and unnecessary.

Thats not entirely true. Unless you wont change your phone in 2 years, the chance of getting burn ins is low. Be careful with LG,they have a tendency to drop phone support ASAP.
My fathers G2 was put in a spigein slimarmor case before the sales rep even set it up. Last month his digitizer was going wokners, had a slight nick in the case that pressed stuff together. Took it to the sprint store, and the reps replaced the front of screen on the spot without even having to do a warranty claim.that LG glass is super thin, too thin in my opinion which is also the reason I will never buy the flex
i dropped my g2 more than 3 times luckily no damage. i dont have any cases.

I know, I've heard it's not too bad. My friend also has it and he said he has dropped it multiple times and nothing has happened to it.
It probably can depend of supplier and party . My friend bought first G2 and had many problems with it, so he returned it to the shop and got the replacement.... but the second one was not good too. Screen just cracked after about a week of use -__- But I know many people with really good experience with this device, so it really depend of how lucky you are )
