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??

Ive ordered from here before, and its a great place!
same here. Parts for Cheap!
Is the matte screen protector on there any decent?
I dunno. I've just ordered parts to fix phones, ie screens, keypads, etc and a few battery chargers. Going to love keeping a spare battery on deck again, stupid iPhone.
My Nexus one has a broken LCD but all they have on their site is the digitizer.. Hopefully I can find a replacement LCD soon..
cnn is great, but they ship slooooooow! Keep it in mind if you are on a tight schedule!
Those are not bad prices at that site!
bumpage for the morning folks
Can anyone tell me where to find lcd for nexus?
Nexus one replacement part needed
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part for the outer shell of the nexus one? The part i need is the aluminum frame that goes around the screen, earpiece, trackball and loops around the lower back... (Picture attached)
I dropped it and the scratches arent bad ont he plastic parts, but the aluminum part near the top (where the earpiece is) is chipped like crazy. Anyone know where I can get this part?
Or if I buy a mock up phone, will it disassemble into the same parts as the external casing for the real thing? Please help! Thanks!
anyone know where i can buy just an external speaker, mine is shot
possible replacement parts source
Searching around for parts for a friends Nexus one myself and found this for the housing.
http://mobile.brando.com/google-nexus-one-replacement-housing_p05399c0670d088.html
Also found this one who supposedly lists parts for the various sub-assemblies http://www.lunacommerce.com/154-nexus-one-spareparts
Have a email sent in to the last one for what they are calling the P/N LNC-GPGNOMB Google Nexus One Mid Chasis. Kind of sucks cause that is really 2 boards and Im only needing the small board that has the sim connector and sd card connector that sits on top of the main motherboard.
Have one broken pin on the sim card that is preventing the phone from being usable at this point and not able to find just the replacement sim connector or the board its on, instead the whole main board would require replacement. doubtful its gonna be cheap either. Anyone have a damaged unit with these cards they want to get rid of?
anyone else having problems using the lunacommerce site? i sent for an enquiry for a part and it said the price was sent to email but is not there?
good to know all these parts are available
Can you fix that SIM connector pin with solder?
Does someone know if the dummy phone have the same material as the real one?
I have also scratches in the aluminium around the phone, wondering if I can take apart the dummy and replace this onto my real one.

Ive ordered from CNN as well, parts where nice and fit great... I too am interested in replacement body parts for the N1.
I just looked for some parts around Brando site...
If you enter "Nexus One" as a search string you get all parts they have:
http://mobile.brando.com/search.php?keyword=nexus+one&Submit=Product+Search
as for me, a bit cheaper that "CNN" proposes.

Wtf? For 80$ I can live with my scratches...
bout a new g2x yesterday from tmobile but the original screen plastic stuff that comes on it looks like it was mis centerd a little bit wondering if anyone elses was like that? and on the back on the sim card plate it says A164 i was just wondering if this is a referb'd or original cause im not sure the date on the box said 4/24/11
It's not refurbed. Those stickers are just protectors for shipping and not meant to be perfect.
Hello!
I have a black Nexus 4 and the back cover is not in a good condition.
I thought about replacing it with a White back cover, I looked on eBay but I really don't know what to buy.
I need the back cover to come with tools and the SIM tray of course, I don't care about NFC or Wireless Charging as I don't use it.
Thanks in advance!
The replacements tend to be hit or miss
I just ordered this replacement that claims it has the buttons with it, but it didn't. I didn't need them, but still.
This one has decent reviews and is white. It's reasonably priced, too, compared to this one, with no reviews
As for tools, all you really need is a Torx T5 screwdriver, a paperclip, and either your nail, or a pry tool.
Dirt cheap security bit set with pry tools
Much higher quality set with no pry tool for only a bit more
Or, on ebay

Thanks, is there any back cover from eBay?
Most of amazon won't send to my country.
Anyway, does the item ships with a white SIM tray or should I order the SIM tray speratedly?

Your link also looks legit, but you're right about the SIM tray. That one will be hard to find
