Heads up: Cheap OEM (TMO-US) Accessories

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!!

FYI Coupon code above didn't work. Try CABIN5 til 12/31/11 for 5% off.

Thank you, just ordered a desktop dock...

I just got my order (The original usb cable) and they are legit and brand new. One thing though, they sent me a pair of head phones also which i didnt order or pay for weird. Oh well time to return them

Ordered a desk and car dock....

Shipping to Canada is like $22 dollars. Kinda kills the deal.

I ordered from them and just got my order.. ordered desk dock and car dock all good/legit for the price I'm happy with it...

ordered mine on the 22nd and received on the 27th (because of the postal holiday)

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.

[Q] Replacing batteries for Chinese phones?

Been looking everywhere for somewhere to replace or supply extra batteries for Chinese branded phones. Anyone know of any such places?
Ordered an Mpai n7100 from antelife.com (which only comes with 1 battery unfortunately) and have a feeling it may not last long.
So, I've been looking for the past hour for places that replace them. Any websites that have said they'll replace any battery seems to say "no we do not have that model" in their questions section. Or either from alibaba.com where the minimum order quantity is like 931843143123.
Anyway, would be really grateful if anyone could lend a hand. Searched the forums but only found references to replacement batteries for A-list phones. Lol.
Thanks in advance!

Sadly not
This seems really sucky! Should have thought about that before I ordered.

There's a few threads about the Ebay receivers already. They have pretty good info about them. Also, I have an Ebay receiver and pad and it works just fine.

Replacement USB-C to 3.5mm adapter?

I don't even know why Motorola trusted me with this tiny ass adapter But I lost the darn thing in a day. Does anyone know where to find a replacement that isn't from China and won't take a month to get here? I tried contacting Motorola about it but all they said was contact Verizon, which is useless considering they don't sell it. Any advice?

Not an answer, but similar question...does anyone know if a usb c to 3.5 mm male cord exists?
My headphones have a removeable cord 3.5mm male on both ends...itd be nice to have a cable as opposed to an adapter.

Hope that helps

Just went to go look all over the "shop" section on their website, didn't see anything, you may have gotten it confused with their Micro USB to USB C connector. Thanks anyway man

A search on google yields plenty of ebay results, Im even more glad I got two now.
The ones on ebay are pretty cheap if you can find reviews in there to look at

Yeah they're pretty cheap, but they all come from China.

I am thinking that will be the only option as the original is from China...and I briefly looked into it when I first bought the phone, I was then unlucky enough to receive a defective device and returned it for a replacement...well the adapter was in the bag not the box so I got a spare for the inconvenience of returning to the store.

Bump. Has anyone found a seller in the states? The only places that seem to sell them are from China.

Honestly, if you're a regular listener to music it might be time to go BT.
I've been using BT almost exclusively for a long time and and it's really nice.
First, no tangling of cords. No having to un-knot the mess when you take 'em out of your pocket or bag... no worry about snagging them on something when I'm sitting on the bus communicating to work.
Second, additional controls. Most BT headsets have controls for volume as well as track control so you can adjust without having to open the music app on your phone if you playing a game, checking email, or reading a book. Or...
Third, you don't need to be right next to your phone. You could have your phone tucked away in a purse or bag or briefcase or backpack and still listen to music. Or you could have it sitting on the charge on the counter while you're moving around the house... as long as you're not too far away of course.
Not, I'm not a serious audiophile, so I admit that there may be some degradation of sound quality going via BT. It's no problem for me, but I can understand that it might be so for some people. But unless your the type that really needs super good sound quality... or you just don't have the extra cash handy, BT is the way to go in my humble opinion.

I too only found ones from China, and I finally found a listing in the US for the exact same product in the chinese listings, the white one, and I bought 3 of them. Huge mistake, don't go for them. They don't support stereo headphones :silly:
Huge waste of money. I too decided to go bluetooth as the poster above me, I use a pair of Beats Studio 2.0 (I know you guys hate beats, blah blah blah) and they work great. I did manage to RMA my phone though, as I was having some issues with the power button, and they just sent me a completely new Moto Z Force Droid in box, so I have a spare turbo charger and a new headset adapter

Lol, same here. My charger and fingerprint scanner **** the bed in a week. Got my new one though and so far, smooth sailing.

I can confirm that this one does work with my Verizon Moto Z Force: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7R8PWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I hope that will be good wth a sennheiser hd700, I have a FIIO E11 amplifier but I would prefer It works without it, just with this cable would be perfect !

Just came across two eBay listings for what appear to be OEM replacement adapters (SKN6474A), thought I'd share (after I bought two for myself, natch). Kinda weird: same seller, but the first link is for $7.99 Buy-It-Now, the 2nd is for $9.99 but accepting offers. Haven't received them yet so can't say for sure they're the real deal, but the seller has 100% with 150 ratings. Act quick!

OnePlus 6 package without a case?

I just received my OnePlus 6 Midnight Black with 128 GB. It's A6003 and was sealed but didn't include a case like I thought it would.
Did yours come with with? Are Amazon's devices different? Kinda wondering.

Strange. Everything was sealed, the device has the screen protector pre-installed and else it's fine. Just the case is missing. Weird.

It should be in the narrow box underneath the phone tray along with the paperwork.

Nope, I know that. Called Amazon. I get a € 100 discount for that. Tried factory mode and tested everything. Device looks as new and is A6003. IMEI sticker, the other sticker with the lash and case are missing though.
I assume someone unboxed it, sent it back and Amazon or OnePlus repackaged it, sealed it and sold it. The device is in good shape and I pay the same as with a Warehouse Deal. So I'll keep it.
Amazon has done something similar with the Nintendo 3DS XL as some had IPS display panels instead of VA. People kept sending it back like crazy to get an IPS panel and Amazon started selling non-sealed devices as new.
Just for your information if anybody has the same issue as I do. Contact Amazon, they will offer you a discount.

You can find an IMEI check websites where you could get some info on history of your device, manufacturing and shipping dates etc..., also, what is the IMEI SV(software version) number on your phone, is it 01, 02 or higher?
