I'm in the process of converting the boring black T-mo version to white. I have top piece, bottom piece, power button, and lens cover in white, just missing the volume keys...
Does anyone know where I can get the volume button replacement in white? AFIK, the white version was a Verizon exclusive, but checking ebay and google has yielded no results.
May contact either of these stores? http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-LG-V10-VS990-Rear-Housing-Loud-Speaker-White-p/lgv10hsg4wht.htm

Hello, new to the site after just having purchased a new HTC Hero in white. Hasn't arrived yet, but I have also purchased a replacement housing in black that includes everything I need except for a black volume rocker, which I didn't mind as I thought it would be easy to find. But I'm having trouble locating somewhere that sells parts for the hero bar the usual replacement screen and digitizers.
So does anybody know where I could get hold of a black volume rocker, or at the very least, somewhere that sells broken heros for spares/repairs, even ebay seems to be bare of these.
Thank you for any help!
After a bit more research, I have found that it is actually part of the middle cover according to the HTC parts list, but I can only find that specific component as part of the entire housing assembly which I already have, on top of that, only the expensive ones seem to include it, which isn't a viable option.
So anybody know where broken HTCs Hero can be bought, specifically the black T-Mobile G2. Or does anyone have a broken one? Graphite would be acceptable as almost anything is better than white on the black housing.
Thank you again.
Hi,
Do you mean the volume button? Or something else?
Maybe you can try and paint it yourself with black paint or something like that.
Cheers,
EC
Yeah, the volume button on the side. I was thinking that as I have painted a few things before, but doesn't it have some rubbery texture to it, or is it just smooth plastic?
Maybe the rubbery feeling makes the paint stick better to it.
Maybe using a waterproof pencil or something like that...
I usually use the black phone and ended up using the white one for a phone call to tech support about the black phone. I noticed the unlock buttons had a very different feel. The black phones button protrudes visually and is easier to push while the white phones is flush with the top and is harder to push. I have attached an image so you can see.
I would be interested to see whether others buttons look the same and how the the remaining 2 colors stack up.

That's wild... I can't take a pic of my phone with my phone but maybe I'll upload something for you later tonight.
My red MT4G's lock button is much like the black you posted in your picture - portrudes slightly and is pretty easy to find and push without looking
Maybe the white one has a defect?
I found it was the opposite for me. I have the white one and it protrudes, clicks, and is easily pushed. When I used the black one it was the opposite.
damn i thought i was the only one that noticed this lol. i had the white one since the phone came out and 2 weeks later i replaced it with the black one. the white one was a pain in the butt to press but the black ones button sticks out more and is very easy to push. i even had the problem when i texted in landscape mode i would turn off my phone all the time with the black one. i guess the palm of my hand always pushed the power button when texting, well i was texting fast the shut off or restart mode thing always popped up and i always hit restart or power lol.
Yeah, I have that issue sometimes when I push the black phones lock button unwillingly. Funny tradeoff.
My white one is flush, but easy to find and push.
I'll check the wife's purple tonight
Hmm, you probably are just used to it. I use the black one so I found the white one weird to use.
The power button on my red one sticks up a bit too, which caused me to have the issue of hitting it when texting in landscape mode as well. I solved that problem by switching to landscape mode the other way. So that the power button is actually by my right hand. It seems I don't push it with my forefinger on that hand when I'm texting. It was a bit awkward at first to remember the control buttons were switched to the other side, and when I went to flip it back to portrait mode I had it upside down the first few times, but I got used to that too.... Glad I'm not hitting the power button anymore though. Lol
my white one is also flush, i like it though. i havent had the chance to play with any of the other colors but id imagine its similar to my slides top button (raised)
My red one is flush.
I first had a black one and it stuck out quite a bit. A couple days later I exchanged it for a white one (liked white better later and I had creaky buttons) and the button on that one is almost flush.
Another quick pondering: The MT4G has two "different" manufacturing points (so far): China and Taiwan. I wonder if we can correlate the different button quality with manufacturing point.
Mine is slightly raised (Red) and was built in China

How do you tell where it was built?
Here are my pics. Made in Taiwan.
The manufacturing point is underneath the battery, with the FCC info

That reminds me...
How the hell do you get off the battery cover without ripping your thumbnail halfway off? I mean, I love that HTC built this thing so solid and tight, that's why I bought it, but ouch!
Oh yeah, Taiwan.
Maybe I have tough nails but I don't have any issues pulling the cover off
It's pretty strong I'll give it that, but not anything that strikes me as "hard"

It is a lot easier than the Evo or Desire
Oh and yes...I think I have finally found a new sub-forum now so...HEY EVERYONE MY NAME IS REDRAZR7791
The battery cover is all about the angle. Here is a photo of what works well for me. Hold the phone firmly in one hand and approach like this applying slight pressure to the top of the battery cover. Works with manly short cut fingernails without any damage to the fingernail.
Made in Taiwan, white and ever so slightly raised. Prefect IMO actually
Hi everyone.
I have a few parts available for the nexus one.
Complete bezel with glass and digitizer fitted.

Power button
Black plastic cover for over the camera, power ribbon and some others
I shall post up pics when I can.
I'm after the top ribbon board with has volume and power on as my power ribbon is playing up.
If anyone has a working one let me know. I'm happy to buy or trade what I have for one.

I am interested on the motherboard, do you sell it separately?
Ok so for some reason the golden strip with the black dot on the power button flex ribbon came off and now I can't press the power button down. Here's a pic of the piece I'm talking about. http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...=40&tag=siu-container;thumbnail-view-selector Is there a way to fix this without buying a new flex cable. I'm also having the same issue with one of the volume buttons. Thanks
Edit: Just to be clear. I didn't tear the ribbon. The little golden piece of tape with the black dot in it fell off..
No idea. Haven't seen that before since the One's start here at xda.
mine jiggles about audibly. anyone else?
nope?
Yes, mine does too... It's now annoying me so much that I'm just about to head off to the store that I bought it from; to exchange it for another...
Mine too, also applies to the volume rocker button, although not quite as much. Why can't these things be under more tension?

How did that go? Find a tighter one?

my power button also rattles this is the second thread i have read with people explaining the same rattle
My power button wobbles a little if I wiggle it, but neither it nor the volume rocker make any sounds.
STOP SCARING ME ! I'm from Romania and if my phone comes with defects it's going to be a looong time till it heads back to Italy and get a replacement ( +money spent on shipping it from RO to IT and the other way around )
My power button and my volume rocker do not wobble in any way, they are perfectly tight. Who knows if that will change in the future though?
It was discovered on another forum that the white version has tight buttons with no play. The black ones seem to suffer from a loose power button and a bit less so with the volume button. Does this seem to apply to everyone here?

My black 16gb has a loose power button. It works fine, but if I push it side to side it has noticeable movement. If I shake the phone and put my ear right up to it there is a small rattling noise.
Out of curiosity I checked buttons on my xperia sp and my note 8.0 and noticed other buttons on these devices such as volume button and power button had some movement as well. It doesn't effect the way the nexus looks or the way it works, so it doesn't bother me as long as it's not a defect and as long as it functions for the life of the device.
I emailed google support and got this response:
"Hello Lee,
Thank you for contacting Google about your Nexus 5. We are very glad to hear that you love the device! I am happy to answer your question about the power button.
By design, the power button does have a little 'wiggle' room. If however, you are having any issues with the ability to get the power button to function normally, please let us immediately.
If you have further questions, please reply to this email or feel free to call us at 1-855-836-3987 (855-36-NEXUS).
Thanks,
Sam

My power button seems a lil loose as well but works fine. I checked a few at the tmobile store and theirs were the same way so i think its normal. Have heard the white ones have tight power buttons tho

I have a white nexus 5 and both power and volume are loose. This doesn't effect it at all and I'm not sure whether it was from my case (spigen ultra hybrid) when I take it out to change the back/clean, but I'm worried that if it was just from the case, how strong are the buttons and how long will it last?

Buttons Are ceramic and are wedged deep inside the phone chassis ensuring it won't just fall off

I know it won't fall off as such but more if it becomes loose and stops functioning

I've heard some with the exact opposite theory. It's random and has been reported on red models even. Manufacturing tolerances.
