Can the bottom cover be bought anywhere?

Hi,
I dropped my N1 some time ago; surprisingly enough after bouncing a couple times and sliding through concrete face-down, it still worked and was in top condition, no scratches on the screen. The bottom cover was dented though, with a piece of the black plastic layer showing.
I would like to know, is there any way to get one of those covers, to replace the damaged one? Apparently it's pretty easy to remove them.

Warranty? lol

I don't think the warranty is going to cover damages caused by dropping the phone. I'm also abroad (writing from Spain) so probably sending it back is not an option.

HTC UK definitely have them, whether they'd ship you one is anyone's guess.

Definitely worth finding out. What would be the best way to contact them? By mail? By phone? Do they have a "replacements" department that I should address to?

Just call 'em I guess, mine was replaced under warrenty by them as it wasn't the best fit from factory.

i would call them if i were you.
i just got off the phone with HTC repair support. my battery cover was stained with ink and it wouldn't come off. jokingly i asked if that was covered by warranty, he said YES!!!
they are shipping me a new one this week, for free!!!

Given that the blotches on the antenna cover seem to be caused by the lovely little neoprene pouch, it's fair that it should be covered I reckon.

Just wanted to said that I called HTC UK this morning and they said I can send my phone for repair but I'll probably get charged since the scratch is my fault. I don't think I'll do that.

[POLL] Did you remove the paint on your ear-piece?

It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.
I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.
Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.
What are your thoughts?

What? I've never heard anyone mention this. My paint is fine.

first I've heard of this, and mine is just fine as well.

The paint literally flaked off of mine just by rubbing my thumb on it.

No issues here, maybe you got a defective model?

This is bizarre I've never heard of this happening lol

If my model is defective, I don't think they would ever replace it because it's physical damage.

no problem here either,,if they sound good your good to go

No issues for me, trim your ear hairs.............

I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter
Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:
Here is a picture I just took:

Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.

In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.
Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.

Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"

[Q] strange issue with screen

Me and my wife both have the htc 8x for tmobile and about 10 minutes ago her screen literally exploded... I am just wondering if this is a common issue or what needs to be done. I know how to replace the screen and what not but this is really confusing me. And she was laying on the bed with it sitting on her chest not plugged in or anything. It looks as if someone hit it with a hammer or it fell square on a rock. Any input is appreciated.

This is the first I have ever heard about something like that happening to this device, but it sounds like a manufacturing defect. I'd try and get it replaced under warranty.
Semi-related, but someone else on the Verizon forums has his Gorilla Glass phone spontaneously explode as well. When he contacted Corning, they wanted him to send it in so they could investigate. https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/772042?start=6

Yeah it was weird... She was about 10 feet or so away and it madt an audible pop. It blew glass all over her. We were able to put the bigger pieces back on and tape it over but still... The phone was new in box like 2 weeks ago.

I'm not trying to question your account because it is definitely bad either way. But I am confused regarding the first post that says she had it on her chest on the bed, and your latest post saying she was 10 feet away? Trying to visualize what happened.

Build quality on SW2?

It started to move in its socket a few weeks back and today it popped out when I took off my sweater.. Anyone else had it go this far?

Had mine for two months no broke

yeah, mine does that. it still stays in the socket. i need to put some clue before it jumps out!
Sent from OPO.

Mine did that I sent it to Sony and they replaced mine. I had to send my eBay receipt of purchase and it was a new unit.

Mine unstick again after having already been changed once Very bad quality of Sony SW2 !

Have mine for 5 months now and fortunately don't have that problem.

Mine keeps falling apart..

Still going good after almost a couple of years Had to use some glue about a year ago, Had no issues ever since. Battery Still holding 3 days charge with a lot of notifications. Overall this smartwatch has proven a good choice for me.
Kudos to Sony.

I've glued mine up a few days ago. The lid on the charger socket fell off, but the rubber/plastic part was still in, so I couldn't charge it. Also glued the watch to its frame as I already had the glue at hand. Battery is still holding 3 days for me. Indeed a good choice!

OnePlus seal issue

Just received my Pro and have an issue with the seal around the screen. There is some pieces sticking out and near the grill in the second pic you can see that the distance from the grill to the screen isn't consistent. Concerned about water and dust.
Anyone else have this issue?
I've contact 1+ and they want me to send the phone back for them to look at it and decide if it deservers replacement. They said it could take 7-10 days, 12gb/256gb models are 9 days out right now so I figure it will be longer. I can't be without a phone for 2 weeks basically. They can't cross ship even if I put down a deposit for the second phone.
Any suggestions?

Dude go see my post I just made in this forum. Run away, 90 hz isn't worth this.

Is this something you just noticed or is this something you typically inspect for with you get your phone(s)?

No issues on mine. Did you drop your phone OP? Is that even a oneplus 7 pro?

Yes it is and I just barely took it out of the box when I took the pic.

I just got back from exchanging mine. I didn't have a seal issue but my issue was the screen colors started to appear washed out after about 3 days of use. At first I thought it was maybe a setting or something until I rebooted into fastboot and recovery. The white text also appeared washed out on there. It was definitely a hardware issue. The screen eventually became an all yellow tint and was completely unresponsive to any touch input. I'm hoping it was just a lemon and I have better luck with my new one.

My device also is flawless on both sides. Great build quality as always when buying a Oneplus.
But yours definitely looks kind of odd and personally it would totally freak me out.
