Hi all,
Does anyone know which Phantom Skinz will fit the AT&T Tilt 2.
They have 3 versions on the website for TouchPro2, but the carriers are Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. No AT&T
http://phantomskinz.com/search.aspx?manufacturer=5
I emailed them at Phantom Skinz but they don't know.
Thanks
I actually contacted them about a Tilt2 version as well. They said that they don't have one right now but then they asked me if I wanted to loan them my Tilt2 so that they can create one. They said that they would fully skin my device free of charge if I was willing to lend them my phone, thanks but NO THANKS!

That's a good one, loan them your Tilt2
Lemme guess, they had the T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint versions loaned out to them too ?
I thought they are in the business to make money, they should be on top of their market.

Hi All,
Just a quick clarification. We believe the Tilt 2 is the same design as the T-Mobile version TP2. We will edit our site to indicate this. Also, we occasionally get requests from customers looking for a skin that we do not have. For popular phones we will offer to have the phone shipped to us, draw the phone, install the pattern and return it to them. In addition, some people just like to have us install the skin, which we will if the phone is shipped to us.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about PhantomSkinz!

TMob TP2 back cover is different than the ATT Tilt2...so the fit will not be the same.

Brian,
Thanks for that. I will add the AT&T model to our list. HTC really wears us out.

Please let me know when added to web site. I'll get one for my Tilt2
Thanks
Invisible Sheild a better bet!
Just go with Invisible Shield, I've used them for my iphone and had the same skin on for 2 years. I now ordered one for my ATT Tilt 2 and my ATT Pure. It's an extremely well made skin. And the best part, they already have one made for the ATT Tilt 2.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-tilt-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
well, I got the verizon skin. I am not impressed with the edge pieces at all. It may be that the design of the phone and being complicated, but with the edge pieces being rounded and cornered the pieces dont fit well.
The battery cover and the front lcd skin fit nicely. I am not really liking the feel, the stylus doesnt drag over the screen freely, it is rather rubbery feeling so it stutters, often causing unintended results.
I spoke with phantomskinz in an email over about a week and a half (kind of long time, for something so simple) and they offered me to ship it back for a refund. While I am sure I wont get my shipping back and I will have to pay for shipping to them and then I am only saving like $9 at best. So, I will wait till I find a decent deal on bodyguardz or the like and replace this.
I would suggest to use something else as phantomskinz customer service is not the best and takes longer then necessary. Also quality of the design is probably matched or exceeded by another maker.
the side was a no go for me too.. you cant put them on.... they dont fit well
the back came out nice and so does the front but thats about it.

I been having loads of problems with the original Vario II case. The strong magnets have been changing the screen to landscape mode, freezing and even crashing the windows...
So a while ago I called T-Mobile customer service and told the lady how disappointed I was, theres clearly a design fault with the case. She said theres nothing she can do (bit rude) but then I insisted I can talk with her supervisor.
She wasnt very happy but said her supervisor would call me back within few minutes. About a half an hour later, that same lady (not her boss) called me back saying they will send me a new aluminium case! However... after couple days of nothing in mail from T-mobile, I called them back. A guy tells me they run out of stock of that case, so what I could do is buy one case anywhere and they would reimburse the costs in my next bill (faxing the receit of course).
I called HTC manufacturer customer service (very helpful people!) to ask where to get a good case and they pointed me to mobilefun.co.uk. I ordered a cool leather one... and T-mobile kept their promise, I was refunded for the costs!!!
change the case
the point of my post was... if you're on T-Mobile uk its worth call the customer service and ask for a new case / pay costs of a new. they seem to be aware now of the problem the magnets cause.
I have to say i've not noticed this issue with my vario II, is this specific to a batch?

I saw somewhere that the Hermes platform supposedly uses something called a Reed Switch which detects whether or not the keyboard has been slid out.
The Reed Switch is activated by a small magnet in the case of the phone itself which passes over it and that's why the magnets in the bundled case make the screen switch.

thanks for the heads up - on the phone to them now
Thanks for the info, T-Mobile have give me £30 credit to get a case.
Have you a link to the HTC case you mentioned.
Hi guys,
I have just found this mobile and I must say that I love it. The only problem is that I don't know where to buy it!
Do have any idea?
T.
Ebay. That's where I got mine.
But they don't ship to the Czech Rep.
If you are from Czech Republic, you can buy HTC Star Trek (Qtek 8500) on aukro.cz but you must have full registration (on aukro.cz).
Not Easy
I am in the UK, it was sold as the SPV F600 here but I can't find it anywhere not even on ebay, I have bought one from the US but its in such a bad state I cant use it so I would love to get my grubby hands on a good one.
Star Trek on Ebay this week
Hi,
I have a Star Trek on Ebay this week, it's a great phone but not really for me! I have an Excalibur as my main phone and have decided to stick with that instead.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=300305116657
It's all in very good condition - and it's the version with the larger battery and 128MB ROM, too.
It currently runs Pampooh's 6.1 Standard ROM.
Take a look and see what you think. I know these things are rare, and I can see the appeal as it's great to have a clamshell phone with so much power.
You may want to consider one thing and that is with the data speed. It is not 3G. My only other complaint is with the keypad. I would prefer a pad that you can feel. This one is more or less a flat surface so you have trouble feeling for keys. Otherwise it is a great phone. It's got a good solid feel to it and the flip design is desirable for many reasons. Personally I like to talk into a phone where the microphone is actually in front of your mouth. The biggest advantage is that the screen is protected when the phone is closed. I often wonder why nobody thought to move forward with the concept of a flip-smartphone.
at expansys.com they have it in B-stock (second hand devices) for less then 60GBP
it was so cool... i love the startrek and miss my old pinkish one
Newegg.com (US) has it for $99 brand new. I don't know if they ship overseas.
http://www.hepsiburada.com/htc-qtek...px?categoryid=371946&productid=telcepqtek8500
I have mine for sale, it is used and comes with all accessories. I can part with it for $70 +$28 for worldwide shipping through EMS.
Hey guys
Anybody spotted a " STYLUS " for T-mobile Touch Pro 2 ???
On eBay? Any website? I'm in Australia.
I would be nice to have an extra one.
Cheers
Are you talking about T-Mo USA version? Or is there a TMo Aussie vesion?
On the T-Mobile USA TP2 forum a guy posted that he ordered the OEM stylii (a 3-pack) from HTC:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/board/message?board.id=Touch_pro2&message.id=2240#M2240
He re-posted after he received them and said that they're "an exact match" -- they are OEM.
Expensive, though...but this was a month ago, so maybe they've made it (or knock-offs) to ebay.
Thanks

Ordering Stylus from HTC
I called the HTC number from the post on T-mobile forums
HTC Customer Care
1-888-716-3594
M-F, 8am – 8pm EST
and was told "we have no t-mobile compatible stylus" at all.
Which of course was a surprise.
They told me to contact daydeal.com who would "definately" had them for the T-mobile.
I went to the daydeal website and there was NO t-mobile stylus for the tp2.
I called up daydeal.com and they confirmed that they do NOT have any.
So I called HTC back - luckily got a different rep who happily took my order for a 3-pack and it will be shipped out tomorrow.
Just a note of caution before they send you on a wild goose chase.

I'm still waiting for the stylus with a pen attached haha.

Yeah, man but I need the original one incase the one the came with the phone is missing.
: )
Any definitive answers to what stylus will work (not should, but will!), ie, fit perfectly also preferably matching the mocha color...??? There's too many posts saying xyz should fit, and most of the people who ordered have styli that don't fit right!
i cant believe people still use their styluses...umm, styli...the only time i use mine is to reset my device...
Found replacement styli for tmobile version at boxwave:
http://www.boxwave.com/accessories/t-mobile-touch-pro2-stylus_3668.htm
Got a screen protector at the same time, also very nice. easy to install.
does it fit exactly like stock?

bump - anyone know if the 3rd party styii actually fit like stock?
I Just Ordered 3 For $20 Off Boxwave They Are Stock Stylii. Cant WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just to let y'all know - this stylus fits for sure, no maybes or shoulds, it fits! The color is pretty good too - it might be a slight smidge off, but it's very close anyways.
Go to My T-Mobile. Shop>Accessories>Extras
HTC Touch Pro 2 Stylus - 3 for $9.99.
Nice - they must have just added that recently. Hopefully they'll have some more goodies soon.. like cases and screen protectors..
I bought two of the Boxwave Stylii with built in pens for the TMOUS TP2, and they fit the phone perfectly.
You guys think this will work for the TMO version?
http://cgi.ebay.com/FOR-HTC-TOUCH-P...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item5638d211d7
I might just take the plunge, although it's very specific in the description that it's for CDMA models and Fortress.
Uhh... maybe or maybe not - but why bother for $6 more and for 3 stylus you can get the OEM from tmo... there's lots of threads about stylii *almost* fitting - not good enough for me.
The one I posted comes with a pen on the other tip.
Does Anyone Know Where I Can Get One? Or If The T-Mobile Or OEM Version Will Work On The AT&T One? I Tried Ebay And Other Places Online But No Luck... Please Help.

Are you missing your back plate or trying to get rid of the Att Glossy cover?
Im Actually Missing My Backpiece... And I Cant Seem To Find The Tilt One, Or One That Fits The Tilt Anywhere.
BUMP?
Can anyone please help me out? im running around without a battery cover on my tilt 2 for some god forsaken reason nobody seems to be selling it? anyone know of anywhere? or maybe if one of the other touch pro 2's battery cover fits this thing?
http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=47493&refid=froogle
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=11546&page=1
Pulled both of these links from posts directly next to this one on the accessories page.
The Verizon one won't fit, the CDMA version has different dimensions from the GSM. The OEM version won't work either, due to the PTT button on the ATT version of the phone.
any word on a replacement cover for the tilt 2? i dropped mine and scratched it up good
Has anyone found a replacement back cover? I have seen the extended battery covers online but not the stock oem version for the tilt2. I am thinking of buying a tilt2 off craiglist without a cover for a reasonable price.
Thanks,
Joe
I ordered one from HTC - and they shipped me one without a camera hole! WTF? Part number 71H02751-XXM
OK.. WOW. I just got off the phone with AT&T.. they called HTC Escalation after I explained everything to them...
-new tilt2
-lost cover
-ordered replacement from HTC
-received cover w/o camera hole
They explained... they have a whole batch of Tilt2 covers that were manufactured WRONG! roflmao. awesome. So they'll be sending me a replacement ASAP. So for now, I have no camera
You can see it's identical to the AT&T cover, PTT button and everything.. except... whoops. Forgot to mold the camera hole.

It isn't a collectors item nor was it manufactured incorrectly. AT&T carries a second version of the Tilt2 for business customers that lacks any cameras and therefore has a cover without a camera hole.
I found what I think is a decent deal @ Ebay. Just do a search for "NEW AT&T HTC TILT 2 2150mAh EXTENDED BATTERY AND DOOR". About 56 bucks shipped. I have seen the 'normal' covers (With a camera hole ) for sale as well.
Just bought one from this link myself:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-OEM-HTC-Til...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439f210925
The Seller is NAKPAK if you view this after the auction goes dead so just search on him or "Tilt 2" cover
Battery Cover for Tilt 2
Here's one I just found for you on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-OEM-HTC-Til...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439f210925
Hope it works out for you.
Found this site that has them for about $5 less than any ebay listing I've seen:
http://shop.vendio.com/gtonline/item/2052561888/?s=1277106962
It had free standard shipping for me too (I'm in New Jersey, I'm assuming it's free U.S. domestic shipping).
Mine is gouged, and appears to be melted by something... that was a shocker to find out.

In the new forum style, the pic doesn't show. So, no link info to copy.
Also, those covers may not be a mistake. There's a series of the same phone made without a camera for those who go into security conscious environments (defense manufacturers, etc.) where cameras & camera phones aren't allowed. That set of covers may have been the most recent ones made.

just a little curious but if you look at the top of the battery cover, is that a design or reflection? would be pretty sick for a new battery cover design for the tilt 2
Hi All.
Never cracked a screen before so this is a bit embarrassing. Thankfully it's not bad, only a slight crack in the black bezel area in 2 places, but if I run my finger over it you can feel it. My concern is that it may be weakened now to the point if it suffers a drop/fall it will crack all the way.
Does anyone have experience with AT&T insurance? This is my first phone in the US and I know that the deductible is $199. The thought crossed my mind that at some point AT&T will discontinue the HOX+.
BTW, I have a bad knee and tripped on some carpet stairs while my phone was in my pocket, with a case on, so I'm surprised it even cracked in the first place.
callsignapollo
Well sir you have two options...
1. file with the insurance and get either a new or refurb HOX+
2. wait a couple months til they discontinue it then file. and you may get lucky and get a new HTC ONE..
other than that.. not much you can do on the cheap side of things 199 for the insurance, or buy a new screen which might be little cheaper not sure on that either way its deal with the crack or do the above. lol
I have had a few exp with insurance and have no complaints. even refurbs looked new. good luck man..
I cracked mine and went around insurance and sent it in for repair through HTC. It cost 199. You may be able to get it done for less. In my case the screen was damaged so badly it was falling off in little pieces. Insurance doesn't seem to net you much unless you completely destroy the phone.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
So in other words, destroy the phone then send it in with a witty excuse.
unfortunately, AT&T will only replace with refurbished or like device even after the device is "Discontinued" waiting wont gain you a HTC One, the only way that would ever happen is if AT&T/HTC completely ran out of handsets. sometimes if the mfg comes out with a new version of the same device (i.e. the focus and the focus II from samsung) you might get the upgraded version, but i wouldnt hold my breath in hopes of getting an HTC One in replacement for your broken X+.
Just an update on this - AT&T doesn't appear to be offering the One X+ anymore on their website. That said, my One X+ is still going strong despite the cracks on the side. Given the cracks didn't manage to stretch over the visible part of the screen - it's hard to justify the $199 so I'll continue to wait.
It's a shame that such a great phone has limited developer support. I saw that the HTC First had the source code released and yet the HOX+ is not shown the same love.

I would do a google search, I live near Chicago, so there are plenty of places that will fix it around $100... I know that some Radio Shacks will repair them, and seen a couple Kiosk in the Mall, which offer screen repair.

Wow, your right, I don't see the HOX+ on the site. I didn't even notice that till you mentioned it. They even moved the One down to the bottom. It doesn't even show a HOX+ referb, or as they call it, a "certified like new". I wonder if they are done with the HOX+ already? That's crazy. Tease us with a 64MB phone for $200 then pull it. That's OK, I have mine and I love it. And if I move up to the ONE, I'll keep the HOX+.
