[Q] Is this original HTC Sensation's battery?

Hi everyone.
I've just got my new battery. I've ordered it from ebay for 25 Dolar. It suppose to be original HTC product but I saw it's little different than one came with the phone.
I've upload some pictures. Do you think it's original HTC product? Could you check your battery came with phone?
Btw, it always says about 25 degree.

Seems fake to me =/ also mine is -02M on the end of the number, but still looks like yours.
Also the number isn't written very sharp

Does you stock battery look like which one?

I'm going to have to say that your new battery looks fake based on the discrepancies in the cutting of the labels and the difference in the "PCT" logo on the back. Where did this ship from? And was the seller reputable?

I agree..If is an original batery it schould look the same,couse one manufactor supply it.On my old phone,batery was out,and when i go to my operators dealer to get new one,they send me visually excatly the same batery..
So i think is a fake..Check the ebay seller..
Goodluck.

Yeah, saw the PCT too. The seller is in United Kingdom. He has more than 700.000 sales and %98.6 feedback. I've bought it from United Kingdom because of not having this problem but you wouldn't know.

Thanks, I will.

Sensation - Back cover poor quality, tarnish

Hi folks,
I've had my Sensation for 3 days tops and something has happened to the back cover. It doesn't wipe off, have absolutely no idea what caused this.
Pretty poor considering it's two days old and treated with kid gloves, couldn't have looked after this phone more if I tried. Crazy.
My GS2 is still prestine, not a mark or scuff anywhere.

ive had the exact same problem, treated phone with super care. i sent it in last tuesday because of this... makes no sense :<

Nothing like that on either of my two back covers. I'd get it exchanged.

ffs... you had to send the entire phone back?
I've changed roms and allsorts already.

Yeah I'd ask HTC to supply you a new one, not acceptable really. Probably only a minor problem on a select new units because the build quality is usually top notch.

I've emailed HTC via the customer service channels on their site and attached a pic. See how it goes. Sending the entire phone back would be ridiculous. Cost them more in shipping, hassle and man hours.

I had a similar issue I think with my original cover. I had it less than 10 days, always on micro cloth etc. and I had a spot in the back cover. Of course everyone here will tell you it is something you are doing wrong but I handle my phones with the greatest care and always get top dollar for resale.
In the End HTC sent me a new cover and I have not had anymore problems so far, knock on wood..

T-Mobile have said I would need to replace the whole handset if I go through them. I hope HTC have a better answer, got it setup how I like, the battery is warmed up and broken in nicely too.

That sucks.
I will start the bidding at $.01
There is a guy in the general section looking for parts.

I say 20 is a fair price..

Man that really sucks. At least I think my phone is still salvagable (knock on wood). I dropped my phone after having it only one week and shattered the screen. I installed a new $70.00 screen after a lot of work removing all the broken glass and everything went well until I tried to connect the antenna connector to the motherboard and ended up pulling the connector off the cable.

Just curious, not criticizing. Why did you pay $70 just for the part when LG will replace the front of the phone with digitizer for around $70 and the work is done by an LG factory trained tech? You have to wait a couple of weeks but worth it to get an OEM part and the job done right. The parts on eBay are not OEM even though they claim them to be. They are usually Chinese made substandard ripoff parts.

The price for the LG service repair of the digitizer and front of phone is what people who sent it in to LG paid for service. There are many threads regarding this from about three or four months ago if you search the forums. People said turnaround time was about two weeks.
All the people on eBay and the Chinese parts sites claim OEM but almost none of them are. Do you really believe HTC, LG, Samsung etc are going to sell their genuine parts to these people? Heck no! You are lucky if the quality of your screen is good as many of these parts that are claimed to be OEM are pure crap.

Try Gazelle.com. I've seen them sell phones on Ebay that are worse off then this. So maybe they will give you $75-$100 or something.
Wups, didn't see the previous post until after I replied.
Also why would T-Mobile not offer you there $50 unlimited talk/text and 100mb of internet plan or $60 for 2gig's of internet. That sounds weird. Also you could of got there $30 unlimited talk or $30 100 minute talk and 5 gig's of data.

Screen cracked.... Sell it and buy a new Nexus 5, or have it repaired?

So I take care of my phones, pristine condition!
I left my phone on the coffee table, and no less than 5 minutes later, my dog decides to be insanely hyper and wacks it with his tail about 10 feet across the room....
It shouldn't have broken as the room is carpeted, but I think it hit the screen on the corner of my entertainment center.
In other words, it's completely smashed. The screen still works and responds to inputs just fine, everything else is perfect, just a shattered screen...
So would it be cheaper/better/faster etc. to sell it on ebay and just buy a new one, or send it in to have the screen repaired?
Or how easy is it to replace it myself, and where would I buy a new screen?

On ebay you can get lcd assembly for around 120 USD.
And watch tear-down video (Le55ons on youtube) about Nexus 5
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPuCmfhzgbg
you can decide for yourself if you can do it.

Is that much of a difference in cost than sending it in?

I would get a new one regardless of cost.

Well, on top of the replacement cost you will pay labor/shipping ... So, you might be better at the end just buying new device

Yeah, I guess that's what I'll do then. Buy a new one and hope to get some decent recovery selling this one on ebay for parts or something....

Do you still have this phone? I need the logic board for a nexus 5. I am interested in buying it.

[Q] How much can I sell it for?

Hello there.
General all around inquiry:
I bought a White LG G2 for USD$629 off-contract from AT&T (D800) on December 2, 2013. Right now it’s unlocked but still, LTE bands are those from AT&T (AWS). I dropped it, and screen cracked and digitizer stopped working for half the screen. I bought the repair kit from Fixez for USD$65. Everything else is as good as it can be.
How much can I sell it for? I want to be straight here, it’s okay if there are no “winnings” for me. I just want to be fair to the person that already made me the offer to buy it from me.

If you fix it, you should he able to get 200. You may get more selling online but fees, fees and more fees will net around same.
Most people don't want to buy it with cracked screen even if it comes with the screen on side. Glws

Yes, that’s kind of the price point I was aiming at.
Thank you very much for your answer.

I just bought one with a cracked screen off the bay for 50 bucks! I need the logic (mother) board out of it...

USD$50? Holy cow. Must have been trashed. Mine was only a small cracked line, and well, the top 50% of the touch controls not working.
I ended up selling mine for USD$200.
Thank you for the help!
