I'm interested into changing wristband on my LG Urbane 2nd. I found this page:

Unfortunate i don't understand much... Well, anything.
Can, please, anybody help me out? Is possible to buy this wristband?

yes, you can buy good spare parts here. try google translate. normally you will understand enough to get through the ordering process. if not you can call me again. i will ask a chinese friend, but this will take some time.
Oh, that's great news @sebj84!
I tried Google translate. I see that I can buy wristband in either white or black color. However, I can't make purchase if I continue with "google translated" page. On original web page there is price USD 24.93, maybe there are additional costs for delivery.
I'd like to buy that wristband, but I'm not sure for international delivery and I don't speak the language. Well, if there is any option to buy it on ebay, Amazon... (or similar), I'd more than happy to buy there.
On this "Taobao" page... huh, I'd rather transfer funds (also to cover the costs for shipping) via PayPal to someone who is able to buy this for me.

ok, if you can wait a little bit, there are more people asking me also on the g+ community.
actually i'm not good in chinese too, but i have some friends over there and i'm very near to china anyway (we have another factory there, and am there from time to time).
so if you wait, we can make an order all together and i'll ask my friend to organize this than for us. i just don't want to ask him every week, for this, so lets wait a few weeks to get all people who wants this together.
what you think?
Sure I can wait.

Thanks for this link. I don't understand a single character of Chines but I got through it all with Google Translate. The key is to set up an account first. I used translate on every page doing that. Set up a default shipping address in here. Once done add it to your cart. Then go to your cart and translate, check the item and settlement. It will want you to set an Alipay pin code. (just translate all the way through when needed). Once past that you enter your credit card info and then you are done. It took me 45 minutes to get through this but it was way cheaper than the other options.
I may have missed a step or two but you should be able to figure it out. I just bought a refurb watch and don't have it yet, but I wanted a spare and this was reasonably priced.
Don't bother. There is a hidden 115 yen logistics fee. I am in the process of a refund.

sorry you are right.... its yen. but isn't this almost the same? around 20 dollar
Yes it is Yuan, excuse my ignorance. I did end up going ahead with the order and the band is identical to the original, but seems slightly thinner and softer. And it works. It turns out to be half the price of the EBay leather covered band. Had it in Canada in 14 days.
How long does it usually take?

Hi! I own an LG Urbane 2 LTE, now the strap finally is showing the wear and tear and I'm planning to replace the strap (wristband).
Any idea where to get in 2018?
anyone got any idea what will stop working if the band is replaced with standard 22mm, I have read that it is related to LTE only, how about wifi and BT - are they affected, I will unlikely be using the LTE option so it doesn't matter if it doesn't work

I tried just a little and bt and wifi works, but I didn't test it to much.
I honestly believe that parts (the actual antenna's) of a broken band could be stripped out and remain connected to the watch for fitting of a standard 22mm band, this option would also fill the connections of the old original band maintaining the seal, I worked in electronics for years and carry out all repairs on my own phones - I have stripped down and repaired many, I believe my above suggestion could work, just a little care stripping out the old band
I don't think a regular band would end up looking right? Anybody actually try this?
New watchband supplier
I couldn't get through Taboo's website to order a new watchband there, Google translate didn't handle the pop-ups at checkout. But I found a website in Korea that has new bands, stock black or leather (sewn to stock black, apparently), $56. Seems pricey but it beats tossing my excellent LG Watch Urbane. Ordered & received new bands plus special screwdriver in about 2 weeks.

Review is up! Click here
*Just a foreword...I am not saying that this QI charger is better (or worse) than the Orb. This is not a comparison of any sort. Rather, I'm raising attention for this charger for those unable to get the Orb (pretty much everyone outside the US) and/or those who personally do not like the Orb. With that said, let me give you my thoughts*
Right, so I stumbled upon this very good looking QI charger for the Nexus 4, and I think it deserves a thread of its own.
Clicky here to see the product. You will find high quality pics/renders in the listing.
For a start, it looks miles better than those unsightly large ones being sold by fasttech, and the plasticky (is that a word?) "small" ones. This charger looks truly compact and I love the aluminium finish. The charging light is also well placed and not obtrusive. IMO, a beautiful device like the Nexus 4 should be used with equally beautiful hardware.
Another bonus is that this charger is actually from a reputable brand (at least in China) called Metrans. Again, I find this to be a more promising sign of quality than what the unbranded ones have to show for.
My point being, if for whatever reason you cannot or do not want to buy the Orb (I live in the UK and personally prefer to place my gadgets flat), this charger may be worth considering. I certainly think its worth buying over the massive ones sold by the likes of Energizer.
At $59, it's by no means cheap but I think its a double edged sword. Quality is usually proportional to price (Apple being the exception)
Unfortunately this seems to be a brand new product so I was unable to find any reviews. I have taken the leap however and bought one so I will update you all once it arrives. I expect it to arrive in about a week, so keep an eye on this thread if you're interested

My purchases from China usually arrive in a week
Also I did say this was for those not interested/unable to buy the Orb. It's a mixture of both for me
A final point...you say "$60 for a cheap charger", are you aware that the Orb costs the same? And $60 is by no means cheap.

Perhaps, but this might help those unable to get the Orb. Only people in the US can buy it.
I am not saying this is a Orb beater, I am saying its may the next best alternative for those unable and unwilling to buy the Orb.

I love aluminum, I'll definitely be interested in reading your review!
looking forward to your review. i am considering this as its cheaper then getting the charging orb to my country inclusive of tax
nice
Looks a lot cleaner and more attractive then the orb. The tilt of the orb has more worried about it sliding off but im not sure what its made of i just dont know why they made a charger thats tilted. But nice Post bro
Looking forward to your review. Seems like a pretty nice charger.

Only observation is that eBay seller has had no feedback for 12 months or over? They also say they have stock in UK according to description so let's see how long it takes to be delivered.
Good luck

Yh I noticed that as well, but I guess all sellers have to start with zero feedback right?
Anyway I sent him an email and it appears that the first few chargers (i.e. mine) are being sent from China but inventory will be made available in the UK in a few days.
P.S You can also buy the charger from here. Appears to be a Chinese marketplace for foreigners (like fasttech, dealextreme, etc). However the price is the same.

Man if your going to spend $60 on the charger you might as well get the orb IMHO

Quite the opposite for me, I prefer it to be flat, won't have to worry about the slippage issue some people are complaining about.
Also yh, this already wins in the looks department but hopefully my review will show that it functions just as well
I like the design. But being almost identical to the orb's pricing makes it hard for US-based buyers to justify the purchase.
I'll hold off from buying the orb for now and wait for your review.
The ebay seller is a lying sob. He claims he's a EBAY TOP RATED SELLER.
To become such a seller you need to, and I quote "Have at least 100 transactions and $1,000 in sales with US buyers over the most recent 12-month period." and "Have an eBay account that's been active for at least 90 days"
See all requirements here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/top-rated.html

Wow, calling him a "sob" seems a bit harsh. He has a small image at the very bottom of the listing saying "eBay Top Rated Seller", that could have easily come as part of the template for the listing. Anyone can see his seller rating so it would be very hard to mislead anyone.
I look forward to receiving the product doing a review so that I can prove you wrong.

it's not part of a template, it's something he intentionally added to his listing. You should be cautious with ebay sellers from china with low feedback like this and claiming that he is a top rated seller just shows the seller might be dishonest about other things in his listing. Not saying you wont get what you ordered but who knows what the quality will be like until you can review it. Ebay can be pretty sketchy esp. sellers from china imo, i wish they would add a review feature like amazon.
Cheers to all!
I want to buy HTC One SV, in my country (Germany) it is only offered in blue and white.
But as many other people here, i prefer the black back cover.

Picture is from: rounded.com
I found some websites which offer the black battery cover or the black housing, but everywhere its "Not in stock", other colour or sold out.
So, where can i buy the black battery cover or black housing?
Every suggestion is welcome.
Solved! Read here
I purchased the Black One SV on the web but it is the Asian version with different LTE frequencies so am about to return it for a refund. I too would like the black housing battery cover as here in the UK like Germany the only ones available are in white or blue. HTC have confirmed to me they don't supply the black one in Europe.
Could you please post the links of the suppliers that you found (even if out of stock)?
All i can tell you about the black cover is inside on the top left there looks like it might be a part number, maybe this will help.
VH-P130218
(See attached image)
Hello and greetings to UK So i'm not alone with this problem.
One link i have, is the one in the first post at rounded.com. This is only the back cover but out of stock. Seems to be located in the netherlands.
Another link i had is dead in the meanwhile.
And then there is the whole housing from here: https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=9035
This one is located in San Francisco and not really cheap (and i did not figure out how much shipping would really be).
I also have searched extensively and found nothing, anywhere. (apart from the ones you found) It would be easier to buy moon rocks it seems !!
lol
The housing at gounlock could be the one for me but with the shipping cost it will be very expencive. And i don't know if working nfc (located in back cover) is inside.
Where are the cheap "Hong Kong" backcovers which usually appear at ebay
Have you found it allready? Also searching for a black one!

At gounlock is 1 black housing available.
Another german guy found china mobile (?!) battery covers in black and he want to sell them in germany.
They have a "China Mobile" text on it. I don't know where he found them.
There seems to be a lot of blue and white ones available, but I haven't been abeln to find red or black one...
Yes, blue and white are the colours for European versions.
Did not forget this Thread, but for One SV i find nothing new.
But another idea is to buy a black cover for HTC One ST. It has the absolutely same size as One SV and looks very similar . Its only released in asia/china, as far as i know. I think it has the same Hardware.
But i don't know, if One ST has nfc inside.
For those who are brave:
Black Battery back housing cover For HTC One ST - www.ebay.de/itm/181101832048?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
The cover i told in post #7 is here. Its from One ST and it has no NFC antenna but it fits perfectly.
Here some pics from the guy who ordered them from china (not the same as the one from ebay):

Thinking of getting the black version. Though I'm wondering if it's safe to order from them, since I've never tried before. Has anyone done so here?

P.S. Though I have seen this case for much cheaper at Aliexpress, I'm not ordering from them since they do not support PayPal, and I've heard many horrible stories from dealing with their merchants.
Thanks in advance!
It's at dx-box.com for around $30. And they do PayPal.

It seems to work the same as the Element Eclipse case (routes the speaker hole to the front of the phone). As for signal, yeah, I'm aware of the issues with aluminum cases/bumpers. I'm willing to risk it since the case just looks so freaking sexy.
Btw, DX-BOX is legit, right? Because I'm ready to pull the trigger.

I've seen that case on ebay. Search for "saber s4 case". Looks nice but I have to wonder about how the signal strength may be affected. That and the weight.
What is strange is that a few of the auction descriptions say to take off the battery cover before using the case.
I'm willing to give it a shot. Ordered from DX-BOX two nights ago, and my order is listed as "processing". Already ready to make a PayPal dispute in case things get messy, though I hope it doesn't come to that.
I don't mind the weight either, since I like a bit of heft on my phones anyway and the S4 weighs virtually nothing.

True that. Was really no contest when it came down to the price. Just waiting for my order to be shipped out. Still says "Processing" at the moment after two days.
Well it's been 5 days since my order, and it hasn't been shipped yet. Still says "Processing", when they replied back to my complaint saying they would ship 1-2 days after I sent them my message (it's been 4 days).
Thinking of filing a PayPal dispute if a week passes with no news. Not looking good so far.
UPDATE: Been more than a week since I placed my order, and still no tracking number. "Ray" has responded to my emails but hasn't given me a tracking number yet. I understand shipping delays and everything, but I don't even have a tracking number to work with.

about my tracking number. On an email before that, you mentioned the
item had already been shipped on Oct 3, but last time you said it was
a holiday in China so I assume it hasn't been shipped yet. But if it
has, may I please have my tracking number now?
I don't have any news about my order. I might have to open a PayPal
dispute if I don't get any news. I don't want to do that, since I'm
still hoping this goes through smoothly and without issue.
Thanks.
hi,I apologize for the inconvenience,for some reason the shipping delays, customs, etc..please wait a few days

Ah yes, the old Chinese Holidays, shipping delays and customs excuses
But in this instance, it appears to be true regarding the Chinese Holiday scheduling. See 2013:

But should still have gotten a tracking number....
Hey guys!
I just ordered a metal battery door replacement for my GS4 from Casefanatic. I have to say it looks absolutely gorgeous, but functionality went down the drain. I get really bad reception with the metal back battery door.

That being said, I'm only assuming that their metal cases may give the same problem, but I may be wrong.
On another note, I bought TWO battery doors since they had some sale going on. The battery doors are essentially plastic doors with a thin metal sheet glued onto them. I ordered two black, they sent me one white and one black.
After contacting customer service...
Hello Eugene,
Sorry, it seems we do not have the black frames, so they sent the white frames instead, without notifying me.
If you wish to return them, please return the case, using any standard cheap post $2 - $12, to:
Mod Edit – Some content removed
We will refund you once we receive the case.

So because of this and the fact that my connectivity gets cut, I will be sending them back.
They are overseas (China), so shipping takes a while. Customer service seems fairly speedy however. I got a response back within the same day, so they don't seem so bad!
Although I have to pay for shipping to refund the thing, at least I'll get most of my money back. Hopefully the refund process goes smooth. I'll let you guys know!
-Gene
EDIT: To the above posts with that whole "Processing" thing on the tracking website. I had the exact same thing. It said "Processing" for about a week, then suddenly showed up at my door. But whatever.. I'm hoping this refund thing goes down smooth...
Still waiting for my item to arrive. At least the tracking number finally works now. Apparently it's still at customs in Beijing. Last update was 5 whole days ago too.
still waiting?

Post pictures of the case when you get it please.
I would like to buy another original back cover for my Mi4C. I know that is not supposed to be like Swap Covers on OPO and OP2 but does anyone know if those covers are available somewhere? Or does Mi4i back covers fit perfectly with Mi4C? What I mean when I talk about "original back cover" is this:

EDIT: So I found a red back cover for my Mi4C. You can find plenty of them from aliexpress. I also did the DIY qwerty phone mod. Check out from here: Qwerty Keyboard Slider [DIY]
My final target is DIY qwerty phone. I already bought iPhone 6 bluetooth qwerty case since iPhone 6 and Mi4C share almost same dimensions and camera is located in same place. If I can find original back cover I'm going to cut the edges from iPhone 6 qwerty case and glue the Mi4C back cover to it. Then I have perfect qwerty slider Android phone (Yeah, BlacBerry Priv slides out wrong way). If I cannot find original back cover for Mi4C I have to use some third party case/cover which make whole package little bit thicker and bigger. I believe that the total dimension with Mi4C and iPhone 6 qwerty case would be something like 139x70x14mm. Not bad at all :good:
iPhone 6 qwerty case:
I'm interested in this item, too.
An internet search gave me just covers that go above the original one and not substitute it.
No luck here also. I have even tried to find cheap and broken Mi4i for testing if the back cover/panel suits for Mi4C. I just cannot find any...
No luck here either...

The Mi4i case has the same dimensions so it should fit easily, the ir blaster would be blocked though

Some hope here! Someone at MIUI forum claimed that you can buy a black replacement back panel for Mi4i for 900rs (under 15$) from the service center. I emailed Xiaomi about this and asked if this is only possible in India or international also. No reply yet.
I believe that it would be easy job to drill hole for IR blaster
EDIT: Xiaomi EU didn't give me a proper answer but I contacted Xiaomi India. They said that only Indian or Chinese customers can buy those back panels from the service center. Xiaomi doesn't sell those panels in online shop, only in physical service center. So we need Asian friend if we want those back panels...

AH cmon.... it's just a Back Cover-.-
Thanks for the info though, maybe we could ask some reseller e.g. IbuyGou, honorbuy etc. - the price will probably be higher but it's worth a shot
Finally found the place
After many hours of search I finally found the site where you can get new covers.
And I mean the original battery cover... In all 5 colors...
I'll post the link in a few minutes...
By the way, why does xiaomi say the cover is not removable?
Its easier to remove than my previous lumia 625 which is quoted as removable.
And the battery is also removable. It's all good news!
Can I have link for back covers please I been looking everywhere!!!
Hi everyone
Regarding the link I'm just waiting for an answer, once I receive it i'll post it.
Regarding the reason why it is not available to all of us, it's easy... This phone hasnt yet been released in european market by xiaomi... so... There is no reason for them to release spare parts in europe for a model that was only released in China and India by xiaomi itself. We have a mi4c due to the resellers not due to xiaomi. And thats why its no so easy to find a cover to our phone.
So, to everyone like me that was Searching and could find nothing, here is the place se were looking for:
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32520951859.html
I'm ordering mine today...
Finally! thanks
although I'm always cautious when ordering on aliexpress but since it's the only seller no choice I guess.
So if i will recieve the back cover (which i have just ordered) i am glad to finaly get the yellow mi4c i had ever wanted. Because the Shop where bought my phone only sold the white Version. Fingers crossed....
Mi4c (Tapatalk)
What will you use to take off the original cover? I saw Hugo Barra's video using a kind of plastic tool with a cusp...
i bought this one years before:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B001GLZGEC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
and i will try the "blue" tools if needed. But it seems not to be necessary: see this Mi4c teardown
I believe this is the only place where se can get this at the moment... But with this phones popularity in no time there will be many more...
In my case, as I dont have any of those tools I just used my usual tool... A knife. It came out so easily that I dont understand why it says its not removable... No scratches... Cant wait for my gray cover to arrive...
can someone post a picture of the back of the phone without the cover? thanks
If someone gets the battery cover before me, let me know if it feels just like the original ones... I'll do the same if mine arrives first... Also ordered a slim armor case to protect when I receive it... Cant wait...
I'd love if the spare covers would be less slippery than original one; man, this thing is like a piece of soap!
Indeed... Until now mine hasnt fall yet... But for a few times it almost did... And each time that almost happens, my heart stops and even though it didnt fall I start saying some ugly words... Releasing the stress... Lool
---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------
And I realized that my mi4c is gonna get gray... With a white sim card tray... Nice huh?!
Damn, are you serious? The spare cover doesn't include the SIM tray?

I'm considering selling my 4/128 (on Swappa) & moving to the 6/256 variant.
If I do,when I get the 6/256 MIX,you can have mine @ no cost.
If you can wait a couple weeks,I'll send it to you ASAP,but,I do want to keep the one I have now,most buyers will likely pass over my listing w/o it.
PM me if you want to discuss this further. :good:

I understand and thanks a lot. I would be forever grateful if you could hook me up. I bought a cheapo clear case on amazon..but I can NOT stand the feel of these plastic cases....I wish diztronic or some reputable brand made a case for these...but, that will never happen with such a low production amount of these phones.
if you do sell it, just let me know and I will send you my address
again, I really do appreciate it.

I bought the 6/256, and I am extremely happy that I did so.
I've found 4.5 Gb of RAM routinely being used, and I never notice any lag or decreased speed in use.

I'm good w/4GB RAM,but,this phone may be a long-term keeper & I can actually see myself wanting/needing more local storage than the 4/128 model provides.
Should development take off,TWRP backups can take a nice chunk of space,however,in all actuality,I probably won't need the extra storage,but,it's nice to have vs the alternative(s)..............
@cms062407 :
In the meantime,I definitely recommend this case,if you're interested ( The sandstone finish is similar to that found on the OnePlus' 1+1 ):

Agreed, you can never have enough storage in my opinion and I also think the Mix is a.long term keeper.
It's a great consumption and content creation tool.
I also think Android is rather memory hungry.

Check your InBox ............................... :good:
To be quite honest with you, i'm not overly happy with the stock case:
1) earphone hole is too small. My normal earphones can't plug in. I might cut it open a bit to enlarge it.
2) Barely any screen lip - no screen protection
3) volume/power buttons don't stick out enough and are hard to find.
getting a couple cases from ebay, hopefully they are better.
I'm also looking to buy the original leather case. Mine didn't come with one due to the shortage. Unfortunately I bought it from a third party seller. I also have PayPal account. Please let me know if anyone is selling. Thanks.
