Hi all,
I think I've searched all sites I know of but am still unable any that offer faceplates or complete housings for our Touch HD (yes, I'm one of those who have the issue with the coating of the faceplate)
Does anyone have a good reliable source which could have them yet?
Thanks in advance.
www.pda-parts.nl
Thanks, but that's one of the sources I know. They don't seem to have what I need.
Or maybe my Dutch is so bad that I cannot search efficiently?
for anyone reading this.. i think he means.. replacement housing for the phone.. the actual pieces from the phone.. NOT extra phone cases or covers..
Of course, I need a replacement faceplate. I thought it was clear enough
i know its .....
probably not what you'll want to hear, but your probably not going to find anywhere other than htc for replacement housing, they'll keep those moulds well under raps.
then your faced with the warranty validity if you manage to source some parts. who's ur service provider, and i'm sure you'll get a warranty replacement due to your devices freezing up / locking all the time. contact them and moan!
i'm sure someone, somewhere will be able to replace due to its software faults!

E-bay is a good source for replacement parts.
Sometimes you can get real good bargains.

I got my new case from Shenzhen (free of charge, but my Chinese partners had to pay for it here: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/218220985/housing_for_HTC_touch_HD.html ), but I still haven't had time to visit a service center

I dropeed my XDA 2 and it now has a big chunk of case missing near the on/off button. luckily (i think) its on the black plastic bit which seems to be fairly easy to get off,
but can anyone help me find spares?
I've been to the o2 site for help but that site is as much use as an ashtray on a moterbike if you ask me :x
Any help would be appreciated
Elmo
Check on e-bay to see if anyones is selling a dummy XDA 2 and change the casing over, short of that go to the O2 shop and see if they can put you in touch with anybody who can get the parts for you.
try http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm
see this for comments http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4070&highlight=screen+replacement
also search this site, I've seen many people who had their XDAs broken
Thanks for the ideas
I keep checking ebay for cases, broken units and such like but havent found anything so far..
I hadn't thought about the dummy unit...Funny thing is... I did see a dummy unit for sale just before i bought the real thing and it went for about a tenner :roll: . I think thats called 'sods law'
Also checked a few other sites using the link above and emailed some companys cheers for that.
I reckon there a market here for parts..... I mean as if they wont get dropped at some stage? You can get replacement pc/laptop cases and you dont walk round with them in your pocket do ya??
just need to find the company thats selling them and buy a shed load of them.
Maybe these will be of benefit to some people, a sort of dropping preventative:
https://www.egrips.com/catalog/prod...d=290&osCsid=31fe81c28fe1d8b6445ce6da229a745b
Failing that, super glue your device to your hand.
had the exact same thing happen to me - plastic above the on/off button. I tried poking some black electrical tape down there and it looked pretty good at a glance, until the tape's stickiness wore off.
Same thing here!
I managed to chip one small piece off the black antenna cover very close to the on/off button. But I used a small amount of my daughter's Play-Doh (molding clay) and carefully filled the small hole with that, then when it hardened, I painted it black with a permanent marker :wink:
It worked just fine.
However, I want to replace it as soon as the parts become available...
Best regards,
Rayan
Cool site this - 'BlueTack' wasn't mentioned once!

Lucky bastard! That thing is awful.
I found this iPhone case on DealExtreme. Cost me only $1.68, shipping included. Cheap one to use in the gym. Couldn't fit any better, has fleece on the inside and feels overall hundred times better than the original one. I strongly recommend it even though it has a really ugly logo on it.
iphone? don't use such foul language in these forums
I would of given it free but it went in the bin after about a week.
i've got a new unopened one you can havw for £10 + p+p. let me know

Yes, always free shipping. I often buy gadgets, cables and stuff like that from them. Doesn't get any cheaper than this.

Oh! again. How many times I have told that one who care for his things cares for himself. This time I am not going to suggest good things replacement. Rather as you dont care loose this HD also and buy new one you get free case.
Dont ask me where you get only cover. Learn to care.
No! dont look at my HD case or ever imagine I am going to suggest good things now on.
May god bless your HD and you.

I picked up one of THESE on ebay.
I prefer this style to the velvety black original one that came with the phone. It's also a bit thicker and the rib around it adds some drop tolerance to the phone when it's in the case.
This is a lot like the one that came with my Elf when I got that.

I rather like the case provided. It just works. My only gripe is that it does attract fluff and stuff.
Having said that, I am awaiting HTC's silicon case. I'll be comparing the two, then making my mind up which to stick with.
Arrr, lost mine too. Actually quite liked it. Does anyone want to sell me theirs cheaply? Not £10 though, I'll get HTCs official case for that.
£5 inc p&p for an as new condition?

Hi,
I have a spare original if you still need one.
Pm Me if interested.
Nogs
pay for the postage and buy me a pint and ill send you mine
although i cant imagine why anyone would want the damn awful thing, offers no protection, looks cheap and the stylus falls out everytime you remove the HD from it
but mines sat here on the shelf if you want it.
first to reply in here gets it as i dont want shed loads of pm's saying "is it still available"!!!! lol
I use the original case to take the fingerprints off the screen!!!! it works perfect!!!!
Does anyone still have one of these? Willing to pay pp and a bit extra.
Hi, I have just cracked the digitizer and screen on my beloved Tmobile touch pro 2, anyone know of a place that supplies HTC parts for this model phone? I've replaced my HTC Wizard's screen a few times during it's service to me for 4 years so I would be entirely comfortable with performing this job myself.
your best bet is ebay but becafeful i hear there is a difference in the digitizers for different models
Saw the digitizer at www.cnn.cn. Good luck!
Digitizer
I found a lot of Digitizers but none of them are T mobile. Can any one find one for t mobile.

Try a search. There are several threads about this subject.
As for t-mobile housing I will suggest to get upper housing from http://eyworkshops.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=6780499 (someone try it out, i haven't order from them before.)
then http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT for the middle housing.
Hope it helps
I don't recommend Eyworkshops, finally got a refund after a month waiting for my Tmobile Touch Pro 2 digitizer.
Still looking for a reputable dealer that has one with the top housing.
I sent mine into HTC. They replaced my digitizer for $113. I know it's a lot, but it's impossible to find them, so at least I have a working phone now!
A bit expensive but I might have to do that.
I found these but they cost $23 each with a minimum of 3. I need one if we can find 2 more people we can get em. Ship[ping will be free so if anyone is into it PM me and lets get these things.

I dropped my Dell from like knee level on floor..

and.. the screen LCD gave away !!
The case is NEW !! the screen is NEW !!
and the LCDs inside are damaged in the corner!!
The buggers...
I will try calling the Dell CC.
Till then, is it safe to use the Streak like that!
YOu all think they will replace it??
I have seen mixed responses here at forum..
I am here in Bangalore, India.

I add to the bandwagon who are asked,
" How do you drop a $400 phone ? " !!!

Awww Mann!

Sony.
Dude, did you not get some kind of cover ? I am so paranoid, I didn't use my phone till I got my Otterbox Commuter.
SOrry for your loss.
Did you buy it here in India (with warranty) or bought it from US (like I did)
Ya.. Dooms here!
Ya, I bought it from US only
Scream: Noooooooooo !!
You are right in being Paranoid..
I am really to be damned!
I called up dell, and they say they cant help as its from US !!!
and that International warranty does not apply in India!!!
I dont know, but, Since, I am in Bangalore, I will try to have a visit to the Service Centre.
But, I do not hope much from that!
Can anyone help?
ahh,
Care,
Sony.
Some kind soul!

If any warranty solution is available. I would want it to work, before I am compelled to !
so, I guess.. There is no one here in Dell.
(Or anyone from India.. who has done it?)
Care,
Sony.
You can exchange it with Dell for a Refurbished for $250.00 if you are the registered owner or replace the lcd yourself for around $100.00.
Those are your options. Calling Dell other than to do an out of warranty exchange for 250.00 would be a waste of time since this would not be covered under the normal warranty.
My Otterbox Defender should be here today to protect my newly replaced screen.. .
May I can make you a little better...
Just take a look at the picture...

Like I said,
I am in India, and I dont think I will be making any US trip soon!
So, the exchange / replacement at $250 is not in scope currently!
I am serious about the 100 bucks replacement screen, but, again,
Like I said, It will be like 200 bucks here in India.
That's the problem!
Thanks for your input.

Hey mate,!
I looked at the pic.
that does not make me feel better!!
I am even more sad, that you have a Smashed-up Streak too!!
I agree my damage is not as bad as yours.
I mean I can still operate the phone and all.
(I dont know if its safe to use it like that?!!, Is it?)
Two questions:
Are you from India (Or any country which does not have good Dell support!)?
What did you do about the damaged screen?
Edit: I was trying to check for the replacement screen from ebay, but, the 100 bucks screen does not ship to India!!!
If any of them does.. Puhleeez, let me know!

@All: Please take care of your streak! , Use it like it is your laptop.!
So I'm a computer engineer, Brazilian, living in UK.
That phone belong to my friend fat ass 150 kilos, he few weeks ago brake the glass in 3 parts while play futebol, 5 days ago he come to me almost crying, he just sit on the phone, he said when felt the phone he lift but 150 kilos huge fat ass you can imagine.
I see on ebay for £80 glass, screen and tools, I'm thinking about buy and change by myself.
On that link http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1 you can see how to open easy, and a quick look on the web can found videos where show what to do.
I think if you can see the screen, still working why not keep using the phone whyle you can ?
That is some funny ****.....fat ass....lol
Call the shop that I have listed in my guide. Maybe they can ship it. I even think they may be from India or email them.

The more I see of these cracked screen reports the more I wonder how long before a class action lawsuit is filed against Dell for this problem. Gorilla Glass be damned.
About what I see already the original case is so week, first problem the streak was droped on the floor from about 1 metre, that was enough to made a smal crack on the glass, so week unfortunately

Why would breaking the glass mean getting a new one? /facepalm.
@OP try calling asus and asking them how much they charge for a replacement. OR, if its not 30 days from purchase, buy some accidental damage coverage from squaretrade, wait a few days, and then let them deal with it.
