New not Bew
Any one know where I can p/u a extra stock back cover?
I want to see if I can sand the back so its textured and repaint. I only keep my phones for a few months and sell it so I will need the original cover w/o any mods.
Call att and ask for a new one. They usually send new battery covers for any phone for free.

Fixed your title for you
I would like to find a replacement as well. My SR first lesson in gravity resulted (thankfully) in a noticeably scratched battery cover.. Naturally before my aftermarket case protection has arrived from China.
If you have found them or have a contact within AT&T or sammy you can recommend that I call please reply with linkage.
Thanks

Well they used to do it and I'm assuming they still do. I cant find a link though. My friend would always call att and get new covers for his atrix and they sent them. He got like 5 free.
You could say there is a defect and I'm sure they would sent it but I don't think you need to.

I've been searching around myself. would love to see some custom battery covers.
You can find them now on ebay.
Google recently returned a new website that sells the back cover piece for 14 dollars plus 6 dollars shipping. For what it's worth od rTher take the ebay deal and get the extra battery for the same cost as what everyone else is charging.
I bet he is just a matter of time before those covers are only 5 dollars shipped

Aight knowledgeable xda members..
I have recently cracked my g2x screen... but i got looking at replacement parts n so forth.... wondering a thing or 2
ok best place to find the screen/digitizer and are there bad brands that i need to stay away from??
And 2 are there any custom g2x housings online other then oem black?
was hoping for maybe a silver.. and a case just dont do it for me either...
any advice would be helpful...
You can buy a white bezel and it definitely sells a lot more if u were wondering. Also its unique and it looks good.
here is a link for a white one, to answer your question, I don't know if it is a good or bad company. Hopefully i won't crack my screen to find out.

Ya I saw that when I was looking.
It would b cool for a silver/aluminum one...

I have the black skyrocket and I would like to change the housing to white. I would even consider another color. Has anyone found a site or know where I can get the housing pieces? I know that I will have to replace the front screen due to the border being black on mine.
Any help would be great. Thanks!!
You're gonna end up spending more on those pieces than you did for the phone.
the complete front panel with screen is $220. that's more then the phone its self if you got it on contract.

I did find a few site that had them and I have also come to the same conclusion that you guys pointed out. It will cost me more to place everything to make it white. I will just have too stay black or find one on ebay that the insides have crapped out.
Thanks again guys.

I took a look at the vinyl skins and found ones on ebay for the skyrocket. I ordered two to see how it works out.

Aside from the "why did you get a black one, if you wanted a white one" question
Have you thought about just selling yours on ebay (or similar) and just getting a white phone? Like just about everything else, if you price the parts individually... It always costs more than buying the finished product. I guess White Out wouldn't cut it?

I didnt get white because i was impatient and didnt want to wait another week for a phone to come in. Its stupid now but i deal with it.

Have you looked at what would be involved in selling yours & getting a white one... Cost, Trade etc?

In the short time I had my SGS2, I read this tutorial on taking the outside housing off and sanding it down to give it a matte finish. I'm sure something like that can be applied to the Skyrocket, since it's nearly the same design. Take off the housing, paint it white, and replace it. The screen wouldn't be white, but maybe it looks good like that.

This looks like the one. I guess it's not a tutorial after all, but if you read through it, you can find out what different people did.

I set my poor phone on a slightly tilted box this morning and it fell about four feet onto a concrete floor and the screen shattered. It's usable but only for a bit before I get really angry with it. I'm thinking about a) switching to the SG3, or b) getting a replacement screen and attempting the fix, or c) both.
But the question is - where do I find a replacement screen that's compatible? Is this screen compatible?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-LCD-DI...355?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d04c74e43
Or is that screen just for the international One X?
I think you need the AT&T version. I think all the others are slightly different sizes. If anything it would be the international One XL, but I don't think it will fit.
There is a plethora of threads about replacing cracked screens, one of them must have a link to one that fits.
Sent from my HTC One X
Everyone I search I find only One X replacement screens, anywhere from $10 to $50. I can't seem to find a One XL screen anywhere, and I haven't found a thread with a link yet. I'll keep looking!

Except it doesn't - I'm not a fan of people who just fire back with "use search" because there's a similar thread. That thread doesn't talk about whether the One X screen will work on a One XL, or whether the eBay link I posted would work.
Can't answer your question about compatibility. But what I can say, is that I would not buy from a eBay vendor that hides all the cost in shipping. $50 for shipping is unreasonable, even from China. Its misleading and dishonest.

I will sell you my screen for shipping. I tried to separate the glass from the LCD. Impossible! Tons of adhesive. So I just ordered the LCD and screen combo from repair universe. Now it works fine other than the lights on the bottom three buttons where very hard to transfer the diode pieces.
(Edit) I ordered a brand new screen before take apart and now it just sits. You can have it!

If you have the att branded HTC one x this is what you want.

It is the whole assembly , you will never separate the LCD from the glass with out breaking one or the other.

You can ask in that.. Because its related to screen cracking issues.. I am neither a fan of posting "search results" or service to find existing threads and posting them. I am just helping this community in some way and that is by preventing multiply posts of same topic :thumbup:

I replaced my screen with the international one x and it worked the only problem was that digitizer came defective and wouldn't get touch input on the right side of the digitizer so I ended up buying a att version digitizer 18$ BTW my screen doesn't have glue between screen and digitizer so I can replace one or the other without breaking them. The original one was glued. The replacement I got was not.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
after screen replacement have any of you had issues with screen separation?
my screen is cracked in the bottom right corner, and i was considering replacing it before it got worse. but if replacing it is going to cause seperation and light leak then i'll just live with it for now.
what about having HTC repair it?
anybody know what they charge?
Well , fine but no one asked this question : Can you use One X screen + digitizer on One X XL ?
No.

Although I am sure that this is the devil's material (plastic) it's all I could find.
Also, it's out of stock, which is really bloody annoying.

Here is a full housing cover and the shop is legit and trustworthy and the other parts have pictures and they looks like original! The company is also from germany and it's big enough that they can't sell imperfect items.

I'm buying the one you linked from aliexpress. Ill constantly update this post to inform you how long it took, how much it was ect.
Edit 1: So i just purchased it, the White housing was $53.19. I decided to go with EMS shipping which is 35.79 leading to a total of $88.98, woah thats alot. I will edit this post again in 5-15 days (when i get my housing) with pictures and more!
Edit 2: The seller shipped it, now i wait more..
Why are you getting this? I mean is it just for the white housing?
I purchased (at a jacked up price at a T-mobile store no less) an awesome white housing car with a chrome (plastic, but not painted chrome..in other words, no chipping that shows white underneath) by Skullcandy and I paid $39.99, which i am sure can get for around $10 now.....
So i am just curious....what is the big draw here?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
The big draw is that your phone is literally no longer silver this isn't just a case its an entire new body for the phone. This is also handy for those who have scratches and marks on their phones
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Is it white all the way through or is it coated in some way?
Tell us about the housing when you get it. Im not sure if it will fit on our one s, because maybe the white special edition has some changes in its housing. Im waiting for the seller answer.

I see... it's not a case.
I would expect there to be done issues switching the housings though. Will follow this thread...
