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,
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...

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!!

Hi,
Has anyone purchased one of the HTC 8525 OEM housings from cnn.cn. If so what was the quality like and are they new housings? None of the re-branded TyTn's seem to use this housing so I'm wondering if they are manufacured specifically for, or by, cnn.cn?
Also, what are the service and delivery charges like from cnn.cn.

I bought a blackberry case from them and it arrived in 8 days. Great service for 5 USD in my opinion.
I'm curious about that tytn housing unit too.
They have taken it down for some reason.
O was gonna try it.

8525 Housing
I might as well just add to this thread
You guys think this is worth a shot? The last owner of my phone jacked up a couple parts of the current housing.

That'd look great on the 8525. You may want to check this out for a step-by-step guide.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152710&page=1&pp=15
Judging by it's looks, it only works with Hern100 devices (8525, m3100, etc) and wont work with the TyTN. (herm200)
I could be wrong though.
The D-Pad layout is a bit different, but if you get the D-Pad
http://cnn.cn/shop/cingular-8525htc-hermes-outside-keypad-p-1610.html
and what goes under the D-Pad, you might be able to get it to work.
But that's kind of not worth the effort though.
I am yet to find a stylish housing for my tytn. It's all scratched out but I hate that Dopod housing.
Since there is no flipping way, HTC is going to make the original housing available to anyone, it would have been nice if someone came out with a more stylish design.

I'd love to pick up an all black housing like that but it has one thing that keeps me from doing it.. the front facing camera hole. since i have an 8525.. it would just be an open hole on the front of my phone which would look dumb and get lots of dust inside.

I have one on the way..
is it really hard to get the original HTC grey version? I've seen loads of the dopod versions, some with some without the video button.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290143857315&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019
is htc but dont know if button configuration is right for hermes 200 (Anyone confirm this?) does that have video button??
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....PageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015#ebayphotohosting
Its the closest one ive seen to mine but branded CHT DOPOD
Ive seen people ask htc to replace it but had no sucess. Its really annoying considering we all dont keep the phones forever and selling them off is harder when you cant get the original housing replaced.
that black htc housing DOES have the video button but the layout is different than the herm200.
the red hangup button and the green phone button are not on the right place on that case.
I have taken my tytn apart. What goes under the D-Pad in herme200 looks different than the ones in herm100. Even if you did get that case and the right d-pad, your buttons wont fall on the right spot. therefore the phone button and the hangup button wont work.
I wonder if HTC repair center would replace the housing.

I don't know if anyone has seen this or not. But I was browsing the CNN.CN website and found that they finally have the 8525 housing (no front camera).

This is pretty cool!!
Thats quite expensive.
I have bought a housing on Ebay for 12€.
Just type
xda dummy
dopod dummy
htc dummy
etc
into the search.
The dummies seems to be original housings for just a few bucks
but from what I've read on this forum, the material is very cheaply made (since its a dummy) and is not a good replacement for the actual housing.
your opinions any different?
I also Spotted This

Yes its possible, but if you have the 8525 and you put on the HTC TyTn housing, you will have a front camera hole, with no camera

If that's what you are Looking to do I believe you have to change the Circuit under the D-Pad as well and I wouldn't know whrre you would even get that From ? I've heard a few people Looking for it but to no success. Hopefully someone does find it. I know alot of People with the TyTn who want the black housing but the Buttons don't match up right.

Ok, thanks for this info~~ so i don't buy this housing.
The "dummy" phones on ebay are CANNOT be used as replacement housings.
The side buttons are fused on (i.e., they are not buttons), the USB port is not punched out, and the back cover is not removable without a hammer and chisel. The SD card hole is also fused shut.
Just going on cosmetics, you'd end up with a much uglier phone than the one you're replacing, as you'd have to break the case just to open it and you'd have to punch out all of the buttons on your own.
As if that were not enough, once opened one will find that the inside doesn't have the proper places to secure the motherboard or battery on the inside of the case.
Provided you made it this far, you'd find upon using it that the keyboard sliding mechanism on the dummy phones is cheap, non-locking, and breakable.

whats the price tag on this item from this site?
that is a good question, i would like to know too since i bought a used 8525, if its not too cheap i wouldnt mind getting a whole new housing or have a spare in case things wear out before i decide to get another phone or so heh
but again the housing does not have the buttons/keyboard etc... at least not in the pics
I noticed the same GPS antenna.... does this really work?
I thought the GPS is disabled permanently on the 8525.

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.
