OK, so I just risked ebay and purchased the following for the totally ridiculous cheap price of £8.45 including delivery.
Now it could overheat, or blow up and kill me, but if not I'll post results here so everyone can get in on the deal. At this rate I'll never go without power.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290456084597
Package included:
1 x USB Wall Battery Charger (US Standard)
1 x UK Standard Plug Adapter
1 x USB Hotsync & Charger Cable
2 x Spare Battery (1500mAh)
3 x Free Screen Protector
if it sounds to good to be true it usually is, but I would be interested in your review of this purchase
HOLY MRD! i can't believe it.
I'll order a set as well and take my chances
the battery "appears" to be real, obviously they are fakes.
the battery charger is good though, i have one like that for my HTC Athena, and 2 batteries for my HTC Athena, so i can trust those just fine.
i don't really need the screen protector, since i'm installing the Mirror Type
i'll keep these 3 plus the other xtra i got from another purchase as spares
OMG! it was free shipping too !!!!!!!!!!
and that is a reputable seller, WOW! i can't believe the deal.... well it's all paid for, lets see how they works when it arrives.
has anyone received their batteries from this ebay order yet? any good or duds?
it will take at least a week for it to arrive
ordered mine now.
but the thought of breaking open the battery cover to recycle the batteries is making me uneasy.
who designed the battery cover samsung?
I agree with the thought of taking the back on and off over and over again, its the same design as my other £5 LG102! Haha
This seems too good to be true...
waiting for your feedback
still haven't arrive yet
on the listing it even states that its not the original battery
"Quality is 100% guaranteed, Not Original"
Looks good. Don't know whether I'd trust fake batteries though.
A lot of engineers say that the worst thing you can do to any device is to use fake batteries. careful now!

Hell from Germany,
I recieved my package yesterday. 2 Accus, Loader, 3 Screenprotectors and 1 MicroUSB-Cable for 10,- Euros incl. shipping!!!
://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170516320142&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I´ve loading both accus, they are working fine, like the Original One.
The loader has a big LED, changing the light from red to blue when the accu is full.
The loader has an extra USB-Port for loading a phone directly.
In fact, a very cool deal. ))))
Greez,

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'm interested in the screen protectors, as I haven't got around to buying any yet. How is the fit, and the screen responsiveness. Is it a generic 4" screen protector, or is it one that is designed for the Galaxy S, and fits the whole front panel.
Can you upload any pics of the kit?
it appears you are trying to say:
accus = batteries
loader = battery charger

i have to agree with this, the "fake" batteries i purchased for the HTC Athena, one of them died already, after only 2~3 weeks of use, it did not explode or anything like that, just the plastic case was made of cheap plastic and it broke after several swap/in & swap/out

You´re right,
in Germany batterie means = not for charging
but charger is the word Iám looking for, my mistake.
Thank´s
also thinking about getting this so will be interested in your thoughts. for me even if the batteries last me afew hours they will be handy while im charging my original one because with even moderate use the sgs is only good for 8-9 hours.
no worries, the after market batteries they last very long some even longer than the original battery, the only danger is when you charge it, they might explode if not charged properly.
i keep a simple rule to never charge the FAKE batteries inside the phone, i only charge the fake batteries using an External charger.
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.

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

I would ask you to wait for me to review it but mine wont come for a week or so because I used cheap shipping. And yes, this battery is bigger, as you can see it comes with a replacement door.

The external charguer doesn't looks bad. Does it really has 9000mAh? Usually this kind of chinese stuff have the half of capacity that they claim.

The max capacity that you can fit under the original battery cover do not usually exceed 1800-2000 mAh in general, everything higher requires either a bigger cover or can be considered as total fake advertisement
mugen for instance only has 1600mAh for original cover option

The cost of the phone in India is $485 (Rs.29000) for the 16 gig model and $550 (Rs.33000) for the 32gig model
So the $300 bill which they are charging is correct...

Since you say that the LCD is working fine... Why is LG saying that it needs to be replaced as well??
With all these altercations, selling the phone as a "whole" is out of question (legally).. You could try to sell the parts individually but it's going to be difficult and surely a long wait
So I would surely recommend you to buy a new one m8... Sorry for your loss..

thanks @vin4yak for the price clarification.
In this case, I would send it to repair and sell it for a fair price later on (if possible to get more than 307) Then buy a waterproof phone to avoid this incident. if you think it's not possible to sell for more than what they charge to repair, just keep it for you or
Don't spend any more money and time with it.

Can you share a pic of your Z1C with this screen pls?
i've got some through a dutch shop, costing me 77Eur, seems to me that it isn't exactly same as original sony as colors were quite different (too much saturated/red).
now it's only WITH a frame, not sure if that's easier to deal with for repair:
http://telecom2day.com/sony/sony-xp...ay-lcd-unit-met-frame-sony-xperia-z1-compact/
ps, aliepress is not fast in delivering stuff, so if you want it before the end of the year, better look somewhere else
I bought this one and mounted it myself, and i have'nt noticed any difference in quality from the original display. Just make sure to watch a video tutorial on how to change it.
Adhesive tape and correct tools was not included, but ordered from china.

Some how, I got unlucky and touch input broke down on me. Tried a lot,but phone is written off now. Went to nexus 5x and happy.
I bought a display from ebay for 30$, and it is working great. Not original though, but have'nt noticed any difference at all. Been using it for 3 months without a single problem.
It was this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/UK-Touch-Disp...i-Compact-M51w-D5503-/221822457294?nav=SEARCH
To people who ordered from ebay: Which glue did you buy?
And what does it mean "no frame" ? Do you need to salvage this 'frame' from your broken screen?
I just broke my screen. Dropped it from 20cm at just the right angle I guess I've been doing some research, looks like you can't replace only the digitizer without special tools?
I've got mine from Ebay, it came with glue also. It has the same colors like the original one and it's working flawless for 5 months now.
Here is the link for the display I've bought.
Hello,
let me throw another hat in the ring: I bought my screen assembly from parts4repair, they sell them starting at 32 €. I bought the one for 42 €, as it is supposed to be the original replacement part. I did not realize any different colors. Delivery took about 6 weeks and packaging was really good (stable, well protected).
In another thread I already posted about this little project, here it is again:
I did completely disassemble my Z1compact recently and replaced back housing and the screen, using adhesive stickers (they were even said to be the original, real deal. I cleaned the contact areas with cleaning alcohol prior to reassembling the phone, so everything was just as intended). Everything worked fine, looked just as new - but after only 2 days, the adhesive did already start to loosen again in different areas!
I told a friend of mine about the problem (he fixes mobile phones the whole day long, as a profession), and he answered that they never use the stickers, but a special kind of silicone! The important part is, that it is a silicon which hardens without releasing acid (normally acetic acid is fumed out), so the electronic circuits do not become damaged. I bought one like this: Silicon Adhesive and everything worked fine It's been two months now and there are no problems, it's even water proof again.
Some comments: The silicone needs at least 24h to harden, I placed my phone under 4 heavy books in order to apply steady pressure during that time. That may have been a little bit too heavy, however, because the screen is a little bit lower than before and I can see small, somewhat "lighter" areas right where the contacts of the screen are, just the kind like pressing your finger on a lcd display too much. So better use only 2 books during hardening the silicone
Happy tinkering!
I got the same problem with my phone - I broke digitizer on my weekend trip... I don't know guys if it's an option for you, but in Poland you can replace screen much cheaper:
https://www.w-support.pl/klienci-indywidualni/koszt-naprawy.html (sorry, it's in polish... w-support is official Sony service - whole screen replacement costs 399 PLN (less than 100€)

I let you know in a few day - I am waiting for delivery right now...

Mine is working flawless
I just bought a 30E sceen from ebay and it pretty bad because of the gamma levels...tried to adjust with white balance and it got a bit better..but still nowhere near as good as the original. For a 30euro screen i think i'll live with it..

I got the same problem with my phone - I broke digitizer on my weekend trip... I don't know guys if it's an option for you, but in Poland you can replace screen much cheaper:
https://www.w-support.pl/klienci-indywidualni/koszt-naprawy.html (sorry, it's in polish... w-support is official Sony service - whole screen replacement costs 399 PLN (less than 100€)
If you want to do it yourself - you can look at our biding service - allegro:

Yeah, that's great!
I made a post HERE about a water damaged screen, long story short after buying two cheap screens online and sending them both back for a refund because I wasn't happy with either of them I bit the bullet and sent my phone to Sony for a genuine OEM replacement to be fitted. Neither of the cheap screens came with the ASF and didn't have the foam that was attached to the back of my original.

A few People have said to me just buy a new one, but I do love it and want to keep it to use as my spare when I finally do, I want another Compact but the last few just haven't done it for me. It's killed me using my old Xperia Ray this last week and still have another week and a half to go. Going to flash GB to it this weekend and see if that makes it more bearable.

The first screen had lifted a little so that made me question the adhesive too, from reading online I then thought it was because I hadn't cleaned the frame properly, so made sure I had before laying the second screen, but that eventually started to lift too. I found the same as you in regards to the screen, the colours just weren't right and had to use full brightness which then obviously chews through the battery. I even reflashed my phone to see if that made a difference, as we know there are two different panels used I thought maybe when the phone gets reflashed it may configure it for the display that's attached but it didn't.
If the X Compact had a better spec I would have bought it and a cheap screen for the Z1C as that would be going in the wardrobe along with the Arc S and Ray hopefully never to be seen again for another 50 years, but as it's going to be my daily for a little while longer I just want it perfect.
UPDATE:
Just heard back from Sony today and not good news. First of all they emailed me to say a quote was available to view in my support which basically said it was uneconomical to repair and offered an equivalent phone for a cost of £250+, baffled by their quote and comments I then got straight on the phone as all my Z1C needs to function is a screen , the operator told me to get the phone back to a guaranteed status the technician had wanted to replace more parts. To a degree I can see where they are coming from but having already had two screens on with no issues other than the poor quality of them it's quite annoying.
So as my hand has been forced a screenless Z1C will be going on ebay as soon as I get it back, and I'll be ordering a Z5C tonight.
