thinking about changing the housing

i recently dropped the phone and am thinking whether it is worth it or not to buy new housing. i have a touch diamond nam 3g with rubber back and no front facing camera. can anyone give me links to where i can find housing for my model. i saw a lot on ebay but those look like housings for the euro and asian model with glossy back and front facing camera. also if i want to switch off the front screen because of scratches, should i buy a whole new lcd or should i just buy a digitizer cuz i heard that it is hard to change just the digitizer.

anybody know anything about this?

If you need original housing it will cost you.
I bought from this company recently (EU)
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-touch-pro-13838p.html - £15.75
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-touch-diamond-11870p.html - £35.29
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/htc-touch-diamond-13679p.html - £19.41
Total £70.45 + shipping
Note: The shipping is low from this company.
But your Diamond will be like brand new.

do they ship to the US though? also i don't see the actual front housing in there. i see that you bought a digitizer too. how hard is it to replace the digitizer?

From what I have seen, the phone has to be completely disassembled to change the digitizer, doesn't look like an easy task.

yeah but what i mean is, is it easy to detach the digitizer from the lcd screen?

i have asian non 3g htc touch diamond white without front facing camera. i just bought it two days back and from what i have seen nd heard, it's very difficult to replace digitizer or screen alone, if u cud get 'em get a screen wid a digitizer nd if u wanna save some money purrchase the housing with digitizer alone. but be very careful while removing the digitizr from lcd. they are sort of glued together but when u remove it, u shud have enough gule left to paste it into new digitizer.
nd sellers from hong kong are quite friendly. just ask a question to them on ebay about ur requirement and m quite sure they can make available to you whateva u want.
PS: i got it about two weeks back nd not two days.

where did you find a digitizer that doesn't have the front camera hole though

Broken glass in front of lens

so i dropped my fuze the other day taking it out of the case and when it hit the ground the cover and battery came off and out. i put it back together to inspect the damage and didnt see anything wrong (i was outside at night in a parking lot). when i got back to my house i looked over the phone again in the light and noticed that it looked like my camera lens was all cracked. it turns out that only the square piece of glass in front of the camera was broken and i peeled it off and the camera seems to work fine without it. does anyone know if this affects the lens at all by being exposed and where i might be able to get another square glass cover??? the original one seemed to be glued down so i dont see why i couldnt glue another thin piece of glass overtop of it???

you can probably check out how thick the glass was and then cut off a small piece and glue it down with a normal glue just so it sticks... it's mostly to protect the lens,

yea it has to be 1 mm at most its really small. i'll take it to a camera shop and see if they have anything i can use to fit in where it was. thanks

i dropped my first fuze from a short distance and that little piece of glass broke around the sides. i think its just a noise filter. the camera still worked but there was alot of extra noise which almost seemed to pulse on the image. im taking better care of my replacement fuze.

did att give you a new replacement for free? i think i am just going to hold on to this one and flash it a few times until the fortress comes out sometime at the end of the summer.

[Q] Front glass lens broken

Dear all,
Today I dropped my one S on the ground...
Result: a broken front lens glass.
The digitizer is working well, the LCD panel is intact (I think) and the phone is working 100%.
Only the front glass is broken and scratched heavily.
I asked a price for repair on an official repair center: around 200$ (reconverted from EUR).
The repair center told me it is impossible to replace the glass without replacing the whole LCD and digitizer.
I searched the internet and I came on this page: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-s-glass-lens.html
Price: around 15 $ including shipping.
My question is: how is this 'front lens glass' mounted in the phone? Is it mounted with glue?
Or is this just 'pressed' in the case? I don't know exactly how to say it in English, but I think you understand me: just opening the case and replacing it, and the screwes of the case are responsible for the place of the lens glass?
Can I do it by myself?
Does any1 have experience with this?
Is it difficult?
I have a little experience with repairing phones: i repaired a Desire Z with new camera module and LED module, but neither I am an expert.
Thx 4 all!

If the digitiser breaks, since our phone is LED you have to replace the screen as well. No two ways about it.
However, if you have the right tools for the job, it shouldn't be overly difficult. Obviously, it goes without saying, your warranty is 100% gone the second you open it up.

Maybe this can help you.

[Q] Screen replacement

Hi Guys,
Yesterday i was walking on the street and my phone slipped out of my hand fell in the ground... The glass got smashed in one of the corners and i would like to get it replaced.
Could you tell me of a retailer where i could buy a replacement with good quality and reasonably priced? And can i buy just the glass or do i have to buy the LCD too?
Thanks in advance

You need the screen and frame since its fused together, something like this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Touch-Digiti...cement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20e38dc59b&_uhb=1
Edit: that should be one piece, seems you have to bond the frame and screen? No clue, do some more research.

Rear Glass problems

Hi all!
Got a bit of a problem that's driving me insane!
Not having lick with my Z3's at the min, had one get smashed at the gym and a few weeks after I get my new one, my dad knocks it out of my hands and smashes the rear of the phone...
So, I have bought a new glass rear panel, only I have fitted two of these and they are both literally just fell off in less than a single day.
I have also bought the replacement from 2 different places.
latest one is from replacebase.
From what I can see, its because the actual rim that the glue sticks too on the phone is actually lower than some of the components in the phone itself!
Can anyone help me...
Am I missing something or what? is there suppose to be a separate layer that I may have pulled off when removing my old rear cover.

U need to buy a separate back cover adhesive. Did u buy it?

replacment parts will never be tough like original one.
Save your money and repair it at original sony center, it will cost more, but will last longer.
And be careful with phone. Good luck

I have actually purchased that this time, so hopefully it's this that I needed haha
Got my new back glass and the linked adhesive above, but I'm pretty sure that's just the exact same glue that comes on the glass.
I know for a fact that if I fit this rear glass again, it wont stick for long.
The rim that the glue sticks too is lower than some internals which will just flex the glass up and off the rim.
This is getting annoying now! haha

Did the adhesive work? I bought similar ones for the front and back and they are not working... Perhaps I'm going to buy 3M double sided tape
