8525 housing fit Vario II - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

I have a T-mobile Vario II. I want a new housing for it and i have found 1 for a 8525 that I really like.
The only difference I can see is that the windows button and call answer button and the ok button and hang-up buttons are around the other way.
Is there anyway I can change the configuration of these buttons?

Download the 8525 Manual from the FTP site on this forum, hopefully you have some basic engineering ability and a ohm meter. I think it would be pretty risky to try that mod. Might be cheaper just to find a service center and ask to buy the housing you need minus their service if cost is an issue. Can it be done?
Hopefully you have small fingers, small tools, a large mounted magnifying glass, and are a ninja with a soldering iron.
Good luck on your adventure.
Keep us posted.

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...

TyTn Housing

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.

Thanks in advance.
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.

That'd look great on the 8525. You may want to check this out for a step-by-step guide.

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.

Replace Vario Housing

Ok, so as the title suggests, i'm looking at replacing the housing of my vario (cause its scratched to hell - keys in pockets, and the odd drop )
After looking at http://cnn.cn/shop/8525-blacksilver-full-housing-p-198.html was wondering whether these were suitable for straight swap? as obviously the keypads are different between the herm100/200/300 but i'd keep the original in as its in good condition, and wouldnt mean i'd need to swap the pcb underneath either?
Or am I barking up the completely wrong tree so to speak?
Any help appreciated...especially for you Vario owners who have changed their housings...any problems you came across etc.
Cheers!
bump surely someone must have done this already?? all these reads, and no replies
SEARCH THE FORUMS BEFORE POSTING THREADS
kthxbye =p
i've already searched....n yeh it mentions swapping with an orange 3100 housing...but thats something i'd haveto find on ebay etc...doesnt mention the 8525 housing on cnn..... so was wondering if the keypad fits or not, as the front faceplate is scratched to hell so would need to swap the whole casing...not just the middle/rear panels.
Try this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-Housing-f...oryZ3728QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
Cheers for the link Paul. That listing seems to claim that you can replace a vario with that housing, so might aswell just bite the bullet and go for it I'll probably look at getting it from CNN still, as they will work out slightly cheaper (~£32 compared to ~£45)

Vario II to be more precise. The Vario is a HTC Wizard.
Any success with replacing? Is it hard to do? I have some scratches myself, and would like to change the housing. Have a TYTN
I havnt had chance to order the new housing yet, as i was skint until payday I'm going to hopefully get it ordered within the next couple of days.... I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
Still no one with experiences?
On this site there is a GPS antena available for TyTn... can we then enable GPS on the TyTn??

I've seen an HTC Hermes Case on this site:

but it's not completely clear to me on how to order and pay... (i'm Italian)
Hope this will be useful and you'll understand how to order the case...
Still no one with experiences on changing the housing?
Sei semplicemente un grande..la cover originale è impossibile da trovare!!
However no succesfully experience to swap the housing because in order to be able to change them (Cingular/HTC 8525 and also from Orange but i can't remember the name) with a TyTN, because the internal keypad membrane of the buttons at the top of the phone are (hope for now) impossible to find anywhere. I'm still looking for..

I think enabling GPS is a little more complex than that - there were some required connections on the chipset that are not connected - try searching this forum...

After I had changed the housing the screen doesn´t change into landscape mode
Hi!
After I had changed the housing the landscape mode isn´t activate itself while openning the keyboard. It did only once. It seems like the problem is of physical matter but I checket out all again and it seems to be all as it was. I don´t have another complains about functionality.
For those who wants to change the housing I have to say that that takes alot of time. And before you will waist money for a new housing make the following steps:
1. Look a this one verry carefully and be sure you have all tools you need.
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Docs_Tutorials/Wizard_Service_Manual.pdf
2. Think that you will need some stuff that you will put between new housing and touchscreen. (I took the old one but it isn´t a good idea).
3. You will need some glue to glue the old parts to the new housing (obviously the housing is more than just this plastic case).
If somone could give me an good advice related to the screenmode while opening I will aprecciate that.

Your device does not rotate anymore because you have not moved the magnet from the old casing to the new one. The magnet operates the rotate switch. See here:

Useing a dummy phone for replacement case/parts?

Anyone have any experience with this? I was thinking about trying it because the replacement housings for the HTC Wizard are crazy pricey IMO. heres a link
http://www.dummyphones.com/product_p/mda-tmobile.htm
I mainly need a new volume spring thing and the outer housing. Will this work? The site says no but i have a feeling they're dirty lairs.
Waiting for your impute peoplez!
capn out!
I recently bought a dummy 8125 with hopes of using its case as a replacement for mine. When I take the dummy phone apart, I will let you know if the volume key is a real functional key. My belief is it must be, but who knows. I only paid $6.00 US dollars so not big loss if I am wrong.
Jeff
awsome to hear that Jeff, ill be watchin this thread. Let me know if the case works too please.
Well I have good news and bad news. Here is what I did. I took my recently acquired HTC P4300 dummy phone (identical layout in every way to a 8125) and completely dismantled it. Of course there was no screen, motherboard, or working keyboard. What there was:
Complete outer housing
Complete inner housing & keyboard assembly
Buttons: Power, voice record, camera, all front keys (ie/inbox, talk/end, navigation, two softkeys)
The com manager/volume slider buttons are attached to the keyboard, they are functional keys. But you can not use the keyboard assembly as the keyboard is fake. You could pry them out and put them in your old keyboard assembly.
I disassembled both the dummy phone and my 8125. Swapped everything except the keyboard. The dummy phone camera cover does not have an antenna. So you carefully peel up the antenna and glue it down to the new dummy camera cover. The other modification is you peel up the keyboard keys and put them on the 8125 keyboard. (hard to explain) They keys are one big skin glued down.
Here are some pictures. ( I apparently can't hold the camera still)

Hey Jeffla!!! i noticed you changed your HTC p4300/wizard casing for a another one, and i was hoping if you could tell me where i can buy a new/use full body housing for my wizard!!!!!!! i"ve been looking for an original all black housing but all i can come across is the silver housing and i don't want that!!!!! if you could help me out i would be in great debt to you!!!!!! THNX in advance!!!!!!
Heys guys, i was recently asking myself the same question. I posted it on Xperia subroum, but really no good answer came up. So i'm gonna ask here.
Would be possible to disassemble this dummy phone: http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-dummy-phone-p-6107.html
I would like the use the battery cover, front buttons and "maybe" faceplate.
Thanks in advance.
Nah, I have dismantled some of the dummies in order to obtain parts.
They really are different, almost nothing can be reused

[Q] TG01 Digitizer problem

On my tg01 my screen does not work on the right upper corner, about 20% of the screen size. If i bend the phone, dragging the corners upwards or downwards, the screen start to work as i should for a small period of time. I must bend it very often, I'm afraid to brake it.
Does anyone know how to safe open the tg01?
What type of screwdriver should I buy?
Is there any tutorial with pictures?
Can I fix by myself the digitizer or I must replace the whole LCD?
Any tested suggestion will be hardly appreciated! Thank you!
Our TG01 has 4 Triwing screwdrivers under the battery cover, i bought a full set of these (sizes 1 - 4) but found none of them to fit so before we can open it up we need to find a triwing screwdriver or bit that fits. I think the best bet is to try one of those nintendo ds or wii triwing screwdrivers to see if those fit, i've seen loads on ebay. Keep meaning to buy one myself to try. If you manage to get those triwings off im guessing you'll next need a torx set usually sizes 5 - 10 will do for phones but you may be better off getting a full set. As for guides / tutorials on dissasembling i had a look myself but couldnt find anything.
Best of luck to you and if you manage to find a triwing that fits please share with the rest of us ;-).
Orange service is the answer
my tg01 got a new imei. the problem was the mother board, not the digitizer. they changed it in orange service. now i test the device to see if it works ok. my old dragon was network free, this one is orange locked.
