Black back battery cover

Hey guys,
Where can I buy a black back battery cover? International shipping is a must
Cheers!

Replacement Housing ?

Well, that's an option but it's rather expensive. I only need the back cover.

HTC sell 'em, at least in the UK. There is a couple of weeks wait but it's worth a look.

what about getting a dummy phone from ebay, I think you can pick them up for around £5.
Not sure however if they are complete replica's of the outer housing so its a gamble

Care to share a link?

you have to be joking, dummy phones dont come to bits they are a fixed piece of plastic but the £15.99 back cover from HTC does look good but extremely expensive.

I just ordered a battery cover from htcaccessorystore.com. Will let you know if it's any good.

is it good....i need to buy one for me too....Want to do some modificatiosna on back cover and want another one for just in case something goes wrong

Go for it! I can confirm that it is a good purchase

damn that's 30euro just for the back cover

Hello there
I am assuming your have your phone from Orange UK, if this is the case, you can phone orange and they will replace for FREE, well that is what I did

[Q] Bezel around the screen - replacement??

Hi
I have damaged the metallic black bezel around the screen at a few places (especially the part above the micro usb port). I guess it is called Faceplate.
What I wanted to know is if I can replace this part somehow. If I look at the region under the screen after opening the slider, it appears as if it can come off.
If it is possible to replace it, does anyone know where can I buy one of these?? I have googled but could not find anything.

I have found only a full cover. Try searching milestone 2 housing on eBay.
Or here is the link:

Thanks dude. Now I have to find someone who can deliver it to India. BTW are you sure Droid 2 is physically exactly same as Milestone 2. They do appear same. Just wanted to know if someone has used this cover etc. Plus anything on the quality??

I've ordered one from the link above and I should receive it in the next 7-14 days so I'll let you know how I go but I'm 100% confident that the physical housing between the MS2 and D2 are identical.

I have received the housing (from the eBay link above) and fitted it last night. The case is a Verizon stamped unit and is 100% perfect, next time I think I'll just live with the worn look. Very fiddly job but does give you an appreciation of the engineering ... They use a lot of adhesive, pita.

Well I have managed to knick the display input cable and now have a one centimetre row smack in the middle of the screen that won't respond to touch. My fault, I thought I'd taken care to ensure no damage to some of these fragile cables but alas no
So, just ordered a SGII Stick that where the sun doesn't shine Motorola! Yeah, I know you couldn't care less but I feel better

Well thanks for the info. I won't have the luxury of buying a new one if I ruin my MS2 so I guess I'll stick with a little wear and tear. BTW nice buy!!

Or just take it to your nearest phone repair shop and they'll sort it out. =D

How does the housing attach to the digitizer/glass? Because the tutorial I found on iFixit didn't detach the digitizer from the housing.
My housing cracked badly, I "fixed" a corner with superglue, but I think it permeated through the digitizer, so there's a strip in the left side (the one with the MENU button) which is insensitive. Another drop and the whole top part fell off and I don't intend to glue this one. Probably I'll buy a new front panel and a new digitizer, but I need to know if I'll be able to attach them at home or if I'll need some adhesive (yuck).
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Sidekick 4g glass broken

Hello all,
The glass cover on my sidekick got broken accidentally. The LCD works fine.
I'm planning to get a replacement front panel glass.
I found the following link on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tmobile-Sam...ultDomain_0&hash=item2c605f3c7e#ht_2045wt_905
Is this an original OEM part as described? After it's replaced will it work as good as the original?
Any other options other than the above ebay link?
Please help!
Regards,
sammydude

God only knows. It'll probably work though.

Sorry this is late, but the ribbin cable and glass seem to be just like the original. Let us know how it went.

How did you break it? I'm asking only because I know this is a pretty durable phone, I've already dropped it screen first on gravel, without a scratch to show of it.

This looks legit to me. Digitizer is the key word. I've replaced many of these on different phones. As long as it's a ditizer for the correct phone model number. Are you doing this yourself? There should be some good tutorials on disassembly on youtube.

@AFAinHD It was bizarre! My watch was on a chair. My wife threw my watch onto the bed saying "here it is. keep it ". The metal part of the watch fell on the mobile (the bevel part of the glass). You could imagine our shock after that!!

Not planning to do this myself. There's a good servicing person (freelancer) for all kinds of mobiles. Planning to give it to him.

Thank you all for your replies! Planning to go for it. Will let you all know how it went! Just hope I'm able to get it back to its original condition. Hmmm...

rubber cover on usb port

hi all.
I have lost the little rubber cover on the usb port. I've asked at LG Italy a replacement, but they have (???) no availability about this item (should I travel to Korea to get it?). Anyone has any idea or can give me a hint where I can find it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Is it rubber? Mine is hard plastic.
The only luck you will get is on ebay but i doubt that they'll have a part like that for our phone.
Else you could try finding someone with a defective phone who would sell just that part separately.

Thanks very kind, but I have found one from a wrecked phone.

That thing is horrendous to plug the usb, I also genuinely terrified that I might break: s

little tip
i had the same problem but my friend who worked at a vodafone store just ripped the cover off the plastic display piece (not a real phone)

Mine broke.
I bought a replacement from topicovers.com. At least it is softer and yet firm enough for a good grip. I guess it is not really a big deal for it to go without one, but for those people with OCD or working in a dusty/dirty environment it feels better to have one.

"DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEALS BROKEN" seals are broken

I just got it from Amazon. The first thing I thought when I got it was "wow, it's not even wrapped in plastic. someone can just open it without leaving any mark." I turned the box upside down to see what's underneath it, and there were two broken seals. They read "DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN."
I opened the box and checked everything (without turning it on), but I was not able to find any flaw. I even saw an unboxing video on YouTube to compare, and everything seemed exactly the same.
So I have a choice to make: keep it or return it.
If I return it, I have to either wait until Monday to get it shipped or go to a store tomorrow. If I go to store, I end up spending more than $50 additionally due to tax.
If I keep it, well, I have it now.
Well I obviously wanted it as soon as possible, purchasing it on the day it became available. So I don't know what to do. Do you guys think it will be fine to just use it? I guess I can still return it any time (is it for a month for Amazon?) if it turns out to have any flaw, and because I really want to keep it, I feel like keeping it.
What do you guys think?

Well amazon do tend to break the seal to make sure everything is in there, happened to me a few times but as long as it works I don't bother with it. Zedomax had made some unboxing videos and his device also had seal broken but worked fine so if it works then I think you should be alright

Mine was the same, if that makes you feel better. Everything seems to be in order for me, too. Think I'll keep mine.
I did get a small ziploc that hold a small metal ring and several small black and white plastic rods, but haven't figured out their purpose, yet.

The small ziploc seems to be delivered, I've seen it on several unboxing videos on Youtube.
I think it's containing replacement "tips" for the S-Pen, according to page 38 in this manual (in Swedish, but I think you get it anyway :fingers-crossed you can replace the tip on the S-Pen.

I got mine at Best Buy for in-store pickup today and immediately noticed that 1 of the 2 seals was broken. Asked them to go get me another one and both seals on it were still intact. Not sure what's going on here, lol

VERY ODD indeed! Mine also purchased from Worst Buy had one of its two seals broken but everything was as new.
Why do you think this is?

Jumping in with a 'one of mine was broken from Amazon' as well. That's less of a problem for me than their new shipping company just leaving my tablet outside the door to my apartment. Apparently 'signing' is too much trouble for them. Never thought I'd miss UPS

My G'Note 10.1 came wrapped in the plastic. You can see in this video when I opened the tablet, but then again maybe because it's the 3G version.

I don't know, the girl working the pickup counter suggested it could've happened during shipping... I think more likely an employee started to open it and then changed his/her mind, lol

Could have been a demo....

I wouldn't worry too much about it. That happens sometimes on Amazon. I think they are checking to make sure the proper item is in the box.
As long as the tablet has all of its original protective plastic on it and functions properly it is likely unused.

Please change the title of your post to lower case. There was no need to shout this. Thanks.

I returned the broken seal one to Amazon and they overnighted me a new one!! Seal was intact on the new one.

The ring is for you to tie York wire and the rubber stick is fir you to change the S Pen Lead .

Hey guys. I'm glad to be a member in the forum.
I just received my first tablet/android device; the grey 32 GB Note 10.1 from Amazon. It came in a plain cardboard box with no Amazon markings except for the text on the return label reading: "Amazon Fulfillment Services, 172 Trade St. Lexington, KY 40511" No packing slip and no padding/popcorn. The actual product box (slightly scuffed) had both product seals broken and says "16GB" on the lid's top in the lower left corner but the a white sticker on the side of the lid says 32GB.
Does any of the above sound strange? I think I'm going to return it unless you guys suggest otherwise.
