Hi all, pretty new to all this myself, I havent gotten a TyTN yet, but I was wondering if the actual housing on the TyTN can be swapped for a housing like off the O2 or Dopod 838 pro, I like the looks of the other phones better, but would rather avoid qwertz keyboards etc. and get an unbranded phone, I would think the housings interchange, but I am not sure, also even if you happen to have just torn one apart could you tell me if it is too difficult..as in likely to break something, I am fairly good at small electronics repair and such, so I feel pretty competent in tha matter, just thought I would try and check into a few things first.
Thanks
If you're talking specifically to change the button layouts, no. Because the TyTN is based on HERM200, aka HTC Mercury. The O2 trion, 838 Pro and all that other ones with the rounded button pad is based on HERM100, aka HTC Hermes.
Thank you very much for the info, I hadnt realized there was a 100 and 200 yet, I havent been into cell phones long so I'm tryin to learn as much as I can in a very short period, and sorting through all these models can be somewhat crazy at times,
Well you could just get a Dopop 838 pro. The housing is the same as the Trion and it has a QWERTY keyboard. Or you could get a Trion, remap the keys and switch the Y and the Z key.
where can I get a replacement housing??
silly quesiton..
Im not a fan of leather pouches etc, and in the past with my nokias I've simply used the phone for a while and then replaced the housing with a new one.. i realise this doesnt protect the screen/etc . but it works for me.. Where could I get a new housing from??

Hi, like I said above, I havent been into this stuff for long, but unless you get a housing from HTC directly, or one of the other maunfacturers, being so early I doubt you would find any on ebay, I'm still on the lookout for just an aluminum case myself, http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58505 I hate leather cases, and my luck, I would lean against something and jab the screen through my jeans, if I dont have it protected.
If you do find any housing would you please post back, I'm seriously thinkin of tearing mine apart, and possibly modding the housing, and also I'm thinkin the button arrangement is on a different PCB that just connects to the main board with a socket or cable, that way they arent having to produce two different lines of main/motherboards, I could be wrong about the board arrangement, but if its seperate, then the 100 and 200 housings should swap, this is all just me thinkin and guessin, I have only been into moddin pc's.
Phame: I have been goin back anf forth between the ecact same thought, I do like the looks of the Dopod and Trion better, but I notice the buttons on the front call/end etc are slightly raised which could cause me to hit them accidentally a bit more, and in one review I read that the TyTN were some what more user friendly, I just finally told myself to snag the TyTN, once it get scratched or something, I'll just take it apart, and have one of my friends with an airbrush make it look good,
Has anybody tried customizing, i.e. painting the Hermes body? i used to do that on my old HTC Tanager and Voyager.
edit: Anybody tried disassembling the phone?
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get spare parts for the TyTn. I've managed to crush the plastic cover over the camera If anyone would be willing to sell me the spare part from a bricked device then I would be very grateful.
They have a Dopod housing here for $53 US

Softbank 2MP Camera Part
I am looking for a camera replacement part for my Softbank. I was the part that caused my Softbank to display totally WHITE SCREEN.
Here is the story:
Last five months I accidentally dropped my Hermes on the floor carpet and when I turned it on, it displayed all WHITE SCREEN. I tot the LCD screen was the culprit and bought some LCD for replacement from eBay. I dismantled everything and tried to replace the LCD but it resulted the same WHITE SCREEN. Then I dismantled the Jog Dial and the Camera and reattached part by part. The jog dial caused no problem but the Camera showed positive result on WHITE SCREEN behavior. Now I dismantled the Camera and my SOftbank X01HT works like a charm... Well almost like a charm with no 2MP Camera... LOL...
So I am looking for the part also to put it back on my TyTn...
Hi guys,

Broken ATT 8525, Touch screen totaled
I was taking photos and drop it right on the face. I was using it as a iPod with a unregistered go phone sim card till I did a Master Reset and now it's a paper weight because I can't do the start up BS. Touch screen is totaled but the rest of the internal parts and battery are good, front cover don't look bad, back is great, have 2 stylus and a hard metal case for it too. PM me here and we'll work something out, Paypal OK. Vince
It's a paper weight to me, I'm not going to put money other than shipping is someone wants to send me a screen for the joy of it, if I fix it I'd just give it to my sister anyway. I'm happy with my Tilt and I'm ready to move on to the Fuse soon, thanks for the replies!!
I travel building Cellular sites a lot and I've been happy with my current Tilt ROM so I haven't logged on and seen all these replies till now. I Love HTC phones and the chefs that put the long hours and headacks into them, They get the big thumbs up from me! Thanks to all also that add and beta test too.
Also I live in the midwest in the US and BASE Jump my towers mostly, if anyone interested in jumping with me let me know and I'll let you know if I'm in the area, I got combo's!!! IF you want to Skydive I live in the Indianapolis area also. --> www.skycircus.com , My DZ 8 miles from home. I'm a Parachute rigger also.

Need a replacement motherboard (main) for HTC TYTN
Friends,
My HTC TyTN has problems with some connectors right on the main motherboard..... I would like to know if anyone has any spare HTC TyTN which is completely broken and can be usable for its spares......
Also, if any one is aware of any site where I can get the mani motherboard...it would be really helpful.
thanks
Milind
I am interested too in a motherboard of Tytn. I have problem that a connector (for a screen flex cable) on my motherboard is damaged. Is it possible to fix it (for example to change that connector with a new one)? Does anyone know how to do so? I really need help...
thanks in advance
Hello friends... Is this possible? By put Tmo Wing mainboard on HTC P4350 Herald housing??
I know both devices are the same thing. Even keyboard, Screen and that stuff... Ive seen backside of both devices, are fully similar but I dont know exactly if Tmobilewing Mainboard can be switched to Herald's housing
Thanks for your answers
I know that there is a difference in the front buttons... i dont know if they are layed out differently or if they are just a different shape.
T-Mobile bougt some.. well more then enough.. Herald's and ripped the case apart. Then they put their own case on it.
what im trying to say is that the mainboard of a Wing actually is a Herald mainbord.
The only thing that's different is the casing.
Hi folks
The one day that I take my S740 out of it's case I drop it. The outside screen is cracked and I've scuffed the side of the housing. I've looked on www.cnn.cn and they don't stock new housings. The distributor here doesn't stock it either.
Anybody know of a good place where I can get a new complete housing?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
