Hello. For some time i'm looking for a back cover. Mine is a little bit ugly(it has some nasty scratches) but i can't seem to find one at a decent price. Can anyone direct me to a site that's reliable an not so expesive? Thanks in advance.
So do i, i`m cannot find anyone, can you tell me where you did you find a back cover and what`s the price?
Yes and I want to know where you found to buy that back cover?
i think the best/cheapest solution is to take off the mask and buy a mettalic spraypaint and paint the silver parts...easy as piehole. just make sure you protect the parts you dont want to paint..

Brown housing on Ebay

White G1 Housing, Attempt
I have just purchased a white g1 Housing set for $50, don't call me retarded, money wasn't really an issue for me and I hate the bronze color. Anyway, has anyone actually attempted this and successfully got it functioning afterwards? Any quick replies would be awesome, ty!
do a search for the service manual. Its floating around out there. This gives a step by step on how to take apart and put back together the dream

Let me know how this goes. Curious as to the difficulty level.
What condition is your bronze casing in? lol I have a black, but prefer the bronze.
It's in perfect condition, I only got the phone like 2 weeks ago. No scratches or scuffs, I just prefer a different color. I'm going to give this thing a go lol, unless you're talking about a trade or something.
as long as you follow the service manual perfectly (it's pretty in-depth) then you should have no problems. doesn't look too hard to take apart, just ****ing time consuming
wanna link me to the website where you bought this housing?
i wanted white also.

Yeah, I'd like to try doing that once it comes out, too!
Any updates with the conversion? Like to know if fitment was exact, etc. Really looking into the modified chin though
Anyone found a replacement housing with memory card cover?
I have dropped my phone and will be eventually looking to replace the housing.
But all the adverts on ebay(uk), none of them seem to list the memory card cover. I could use my original, but I kinda fancy a change to white! ;-)
Anyone know where to get this cover?
Thanks,
Really really sorry to bump this.....
Anyone had any luck finding spare G1 memory card covers?
Little surprised no one else is interested in this issue, especially if they fancy changing their housing (for repair/colour change) in the future.
As far as I can see, none of the sellers on ebay include this cover, so don't lose it or wreck it!
I dont think the G1 has enough of a market to mass produce housings, ebay is prob your best bet. You can try contacting HTC and see if they can give you a lead but other than that I think you'll have to look for someone with a bricked phone.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot u were lookin for mem card cover
@Edit: No problem; glad you noticed before I got round to typing reply!
Like I said, every single ebay listing I have seen does not include it.
Just seems a strange thing to for them to miss out, anyone know a reason?

yeah as ya can tell from the torx thread i bought that ebay one planing to change to white as well and its not as simple as i thought when i started i don't think anyone includes one and the main piece the one that the keyboard is attached to has a metal cover that appears to be glued in place and i could not move it to the one i received with the new housing which is why i decided to go with the 2 tone look. http://stryph.googlepages.com/DSCF2807.JPG Also.. the ebay crap is cheaper than Phuk its allready cracked on me a bit WTF? will post more pics l8r just got in from the fight *wtf man wtf??* (Hope hatton recovers completely and suffered no permanent damage)

Wow I kinda dig that two tone look. how hard was it to switch out? Waiting for more pics...
off topic: yeah man I really didn't think hatton would go down so fast and hard. I really thought it would be a better fight than De La Hoya. Hope he's ok tho!
Hey guys,
My white unlocked Hero has sustained some nasty body scratches plus it is starting to turn yellow. I'm considering a full body replacement. I was only able to find this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/GENINUE-HOUSING-FACEPLATE-FACIA-GOOGLE-G3-HTC-
HERO-WT_W0QQitemZ280402919652QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item41495100e4
Do you think that it's going to be as good as the original one? The seller claims that it's genuine, What do you think?
I found a site that has both the black and white housing for the gsm hero.
http://www.truesupplier.com/faceplate-housing-cover-for-htc-hero-g2-touch-white-color-pr-18489.html
How do I know that it's genuine? or at least as good as the original HTC cover?

The web page is called "truesupplier.com". OF COURSE its genuine
How hard is it to change the housing anyway?
by changing housing you will probably break phone trust me ... and truesupplier housing is oem not genuine by looks of it..
He might not break it if he's careful, and has the proper tools. I've taken apart a few phones without causing any problems.
So unless i'm handy at doing these things, I should not do it myself?
What if I have our local HTC agent do it? Will it at least look as good as new?
i have the white hero and would love to put the black case on it.
the site mentioned above says it comes with the tools needed to change the cover, has any tried doing this?
i would love to go for it but don't want to f*&k my phone up!
i think its not so difficult to switch the cover if you take off the backcover there are 6 screws than open the case from the top of the mobile phone and pull it off
but becarefull maybe there are flatcables from die lcd or the trackball just make it slow and be carefull all the time
and maybe you can find a dissembly how to in google
peace
this site has pics of disassembly of a hero but it's in russian.

If you have to pry the phone open use something plastic so you dont damage the original case. Just in case the ebay housing is rubbish.

whats the difference between oem and genuine
any1 bought replacement white hoising? mine is getting yellow. so need to buy a back cover.
Thinking of buying one myself. I accidentally dropped mine on the tiled floors of my workplace toilets LOL (luckily not IN the toilet). so now there's a little nick on the top left corner of the case.
If this is your first time you will probably scratch the covers but nothing more. You need to be very patient and i will suggest take a look to a good tutorial.
iopened my hero 1 week ago and its so easy maybe in the next days i will upload a video in youtube
bye
I bought the ebay one. It's surprisingly well built (Not Teflon though).
The sad part is that my touch screen got screwed up during the installation. The bottom part of the screen is no longer functional and the sensitivity is messed up overall. Did the replacement in a local phone shop.
Now trying to find a way to fix it.

That would be greatly appreciated!
hmm do you want to sell me your backplate of your old case? i need it please
and to fix your problem : you need a new display glas with digitizer
to remove your old glas: use a hairdryer, you have to heat up the old clue of the old glas and than you can push it easily out of the frame but be carefull not to heatup the frame, the plastic can deform, maybe you can cover it with aluminium foil from the kitchen
the video of the dissembly will be uploaded tomorrow by me
good night guys!

Where can I find new display glass for HTC hero? or can I just buy something generic?
I don't mind giving you my old backcover though it's in a very bad shape (which is why I wanted to replace it in the first place).
Wondering if anyone seen some back cover replacements? Like a white, red, it carbon?
Do you mean a replacement battery cover? If so I thought the same thing and I've been looking but it's hard to even find the original. I really don't see the need for a case when most of the sides and back are the battery cover. I think different backs would sell well if someone would make em. I would rather not paint it like in the other thread.

Exactly . No need for.q case if I can save the original back cover and use a 3rd party one.
Hey guys,
the other day heavy rain caught me up on the street, thus my phone was all wet.
It rang, I took it in my hands and it slipped away, and so my rear back glass got broke.
Now I'm looking for replacement, please do not send me to sony service, they're gonna have it for weeks and gonna charge me very much.
Does anyone know where can I get oem replacement for it?
Does this look good to you? http://www.eb

That ebay link will probably be your best bet.
I would just worry that replacements are knock-off and plastic.
Waterproofing can probably be had if the same adhesive seems to be used and the back seems original. Would I throw my phone in the pool afterwards? Probably not...:silly:

I'll give ebay a try, thanks mate for suggestion, even now I've never tried my water proof phone, didn't have any need or even courage, but I hope its gonna be at least splash proof.
Witrigs.com has them

It seems to me that have no logo on their plates, and they are out of stock for as long as I've been following them,
so I decided to go for this one
opinions?
did anyone try the above link?
It looks promising but did any one tried the link above and whether it's exatly what's given in picture. I tried eBay but it did not carry nfc antenna in it(I've damaged my nfc while removing back), also xperia logo looked fake on one I ordered.
Any suggestions for where to get exactly original part.
Hello, I've got a question. Does anybody have got (or know where to find it) a template of the back panel of the phone? I've got a sheet of 3M foil and I'd like to cut out a protective sticker from it, but I need a template in 1:1 scale. Maybe someone have got something like this?
You may try searching on korean google.co.kr or ask from this YouTube channel JerryRigEverything
Not sure but I hope you will find that.

And this is why you never throw away them plastic screen protectors that where on the phone when you bought it I always stick mine to the box.

Maybe next week but I like to be prepared. That's why I've bought an UAG case and screen protector

Ah well then you are lucky and the phone will come with a ready to use template on the back side and front
Any chance you could share those templates?
