Can only buy a minimum of 5..
Looks like I'll have to call LG. Hope they don't charge me $31
Thanks for the replies. I'll let you all know what happens

I am in the same dilemma. Extended 3500ma batteries and covers for P900/999 are available on eBay for around 11-15, so I am going to go that way I guess.
Hard to believe the regular covers are so scarce.

Aren't the dimensions of the p990 slightly different than the p999?

If you think $31 is bad.
I just called up LG (Or the independent company that takes care of all the LG spare parts in Australia). They wanted 45AUD
There is no way im paying $45 for a piece of plastic with the word google on it.

Hey all
For those that have managed to get a battery door from T-mobile: How much did it cost?
I've read that many have managed to get them for free. Would anyone be willing to get one for me and ship to Aus?
I'll cover shipping and will even add some cash on top for your troubles (provided it doesn't cost more than $45!)
Thanks

Hey,
Thanks for the reply.
Did you have any luck with this?
Thanks

I finally recieved the email from the company that had them on backorder. Not only have they clarified that these are only for wholesale customers, but the price went up to $30. from about $12.
I've got two now, so don't need one anymore. Just a heads up.

I sort of struck out, they told me to go to a service center for a swap and to bring my "broken" door. Mines not broken so...
I will go to the service center when I'm in the area however and see what I can do.

How much including shipping for your spare one?

Hey man, much appreciated. However, if it becomes too much of a hassle just don't worry about it. Will probably end up buying an extended battery.
Thanks all.

Infuse Repairs? Recommendations?

I totally destroyed the SIM socket on my Infuse. Probably tore out a couple of the pins (don't ask!). Any suggestions on who might do repairs or am I better off just selling it on eBay for $175? Everything works perfectly except anything phone call/SMS related. It's like an Apple iTouch now. WiFI, BT, GPS but no phone.
I bought it "semi-new" off eBay 2 weeks ago but of course it has no warranty. I did get a great deal on it ..... so much for that deal.
I know if I even try calling Samsung to inquire about repairs I will forever get lost in the morass of stupid CSR's. I did get a great price on it trying to avoid a contract extension. I can get a new one for $200 w/2yrs but really don't want to do that. I'd rather spend a few bucks to fix it.

Try checking craigslist for your area to see if anydoes small electronics repair.

I actually ended up calling Samsung. Wasn't too bad of an experience. They told me repair would be $70.36 including shipping BOTH WAYS (they sent a UPS shipping label). Sounds kinda cheap actually but I figured I'd give it a shot. They said 5-10 business days.
They did say that "if the repair cost more than their quote" (uh-oh) they would contact me first. I did tell them exactly what was wrong.

i just got to ask... sorry. but HOW IN THE WORLD did you manage to do that??
let me guess, previous iPhone 4 user used a micro-sim adapter and viola?

I Don't understand why you don't simply extend your contract for the $200 or perhaps even less. Then you can sell the phone on ebay for $175.00 so your total out of pocket cost would be only $50 bucks or so counting the ebay selling fees and so on.. Not only would you end up with a brand new phone but you could have it in your hand in 2-3 days perhaps even less.
Why would you rather spend $100-$200 for a repair job? (I doubt you can even find a place which would touch the phone with a problem like you have described)...
Just does not make a whole lotta sence!

OR!!! donate it here for development, or offer to be a tester. Parts maybe? I guess I'm saying there's other things to be done with it if you outright buy a new one.

Repair job from Samsung was quoted as $70.26 including shipping both ways. It's on the way back as I type. Not sure I could have gotten $175 for the bad one considering you can get a new one for $199.
I don't want to be tied down to AT&T for 2 more years for numerous reasons. I am out of contract now. I have my top-o-the-line Moto Krazr I can use for the 5-10 days it will hopefully take to get it back.

For those of you who need replacement parts...

I stumbled upon this a little while ago.
Samsung Infuse 4G SGH-I997 Replacement Parts and they seem to have battery doors, i know some of you needed some. they seems to have screens and digitizers but out of stock. Cameras, batteries, speakers and what not.
i have not bought from them so i would not know if they are legit. maybe someone here can confirm. Just thought id share.

Hehe yeah that site is good buuuuuuuut...
You need to be a reseller, repair or some settled bussines related to phones.... They sell you by batches and you require to apply for membership.
I once tried to apply to buy 1 battery cover...
I was contacted about 3 days later just to be informed about all this.
Thats it basicly you need to buy a whole bunch of em; and/or be a repair industry, reseller etc.
Yeah... dissapointing i knoe...
Stil if someone here is a reseller, repairs phones or something like that give it a try maybe my mistake waa mentioning i only wanted 1 battery cover haha

That's disappointing, I was hoping they'd have them in stores today. Still going to swing by one and hope I luck out, but this doesn't make me very optimistic about it.

Yep, I checked the store today and they did not have it in stock. They had an open space to display it, but no stock. They said that a lot of people have been asking about it. They didn't know when it would arrive, but it might be as much as a month after it is listed online.

Was told the same thing, minus others asking about it when I went to check.

I called my local Best Buy. The lady stated that her computer said it will be in stock on 22nd - 23rd of July. So hopefully only another week!

That fondue pot's looking pretty good XD. I didn't see it this morning, it's there now. I ordered over the phone and the expected delivery date is the 19th-24th.
EDIT: Anyone notice that the dock is $160 at Best Buy?
EDIT2: A side note...they offered a warranty of some sort (I didn't really listen, I just wanted to get the thing ordered already), some Geek Squad warranty against physical damage like drops and breaks, it even covered water damage. Anyone think that would be worth it? I don't think I'll be taking my tablet to the shower with me anytime soon, but it might be helpful if it's actually a good service and I do happen to break it.

Cheap broken OPO - Help me decide

So there's someone near me that is selling a OPO with a broken screen for about $100. My question is, should I buy it? I have a nexus 4 right now that works perfectly, but I've been interested in the OPO since it was officially announced. Is it worth spiting out the $100 and then another $118-130 for a replacement screen? That's not even including the cost of labor, that's just eBay prices

Buy it.

Yes. Then fix it yourself. It's quite a lot of fun actually.

Have you replaced the screen on your OPO? If so how was it, and how difficult was it?

I haven't on the OPO specifically but I have on many other phones. It's as easy as building with Legos as long as you have the right tool set. Without the correct tool set, it'll be quite a bit more difficult. If you're confident with getting involved with working on technology, this would be a great place to start and you might learn something. If you aren't comfortable with that you could take it to a cellphone store

Is the screen the only part damaged? How's the motherboard etc?

Thanks guys, but I went to buy it and the guy said that he had just sold it. My soul and my mojo were crushed. Thanks for your help.
