Have you stolen a hair clip from your women? And broke it? I can hear her shouting at you even here, mate. Just kidding.
I have to say this is a genius idea!! Although I'd too worried for it to get scratched...
Good idea, cheap, functional and easy to put in a pocket (or anywhere)

Are you calculating the angle of which your Xperia is at?
I remember with my Nexus One I made a "dock" out of the box.

After using the phone for tow weeks the dark gray part of the case (midle body) start to foil down like a nail polish and the gray paint is slowly going off revealing a black material. Did any one else have same problem ???? Some solutions ??? I know maybe is not such a big deal the device is a great tool and this is a small meter!! but i was thinking maybe is possible to wash off the painture until the black color of the material!!! any one did this ???
Many thanks for every body who participate in here!!! This is a great forum !!! the answer to my all questions is here!!!
I've seen the same on my 9100, but only on the right-hand side (the one with the camera & voice buttons). I haven't bothered to do anything about it, but I do keep the phone in a leather case, so the flaking shouldn't get much worse.
That the black paint comes off the device is a problem with all Wizards it seems....I have it also and I don't really like it.
Does anybody here know if there are Wizard cases for sale ....anywhere ?
Mine has that problem too...well, i helped a bit so..now it doesn't have any paint on it.

Hi guys,
Dust has been collecting in my Blackstone's 3.5mm port and I don't really use the port. So I've been wondering if there's some sort of rubber piece that I could buy to fill the whole up to prevent more dust from accumulating?
I've found this post but that turned up dead links on Ebay. However, other searches have led me to i-Close but it's not in English and I'm not sure if they even ship internationally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
Dug around a bit and found these, a bit expensive though !!

Steeve,
Thank you so much, this is exactly what Im looking for. But the problem is...Im not in the UK.
Cheers.
I personally like having a rubber cover for it, and if I wanted to block up the port I'd put a small piece of black paper/card over the hole. If you're able to divert sound away from using the headphone socket, you could maybe put a jack in and cut it right down so it doesn't stick out = you'd have a radio antenna.
Hi guys,
I managed to purchase the ebay link mentioned above. I'll report back to you guys how it fares once I've received it.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
I've received the items and I would have to say that this is PERFECT (for me). It is even cute in the sense that the stub makes it look like a little ol' antenna.
Here are the pictures as promised.

thanks for the pics, Wolf. but seems a little big for my taste, doesn't it come off when u slid the phone in your pocket or when u take it out?

You're welcome. It really isn't that big in my opinion. And no, until today, it has not slipped, not even once. It's really sturdy.

Has anyone replaced the little plastic flap that covers the USB port? Mine has finally broken off.
Is there anywhere to get a replacement online, and is there a resource for disassembly for the g1?
TIA
My device (Touch PRO) doesn't have it at all. I've seen that some devices have it and some don't. I think you can compare it to suspension housing of mountain bikes - some have some don't. It is just a question of dirt management style. While covers avoid the dirt getting in they also keep the trespassed dirt in there which also is not good. I don't think there is a good answer
I dont think he is looking for an opinion, I think he just flat out wants one. I could use one too, mine is broken as well.
As far as replacing, you can carefully insert it using a blunt pointed pin, I used some piano wire that was lying around when I did this to my last G1. Just "push" the ball into the housing. Alternately, you can use the plastic pry tools to lift that area, but it is a lot more work.

Exactly what I'm thinking! Mine broke recently and I actually like my phone without it better. However, as soon as my contract expires, I will want to sell my phone and get N1, so I think having all parts in place would be helpful, but I can't find it anywhere

Looking forward to it.
I'm in the UK and they ship from the US, so it might take a while. I've ordered it on 15th and got a shipping confirmation the next day, so hopefully some time next week I'll have them.
OK, got them... and I think it's a bit of a waste of money. They're too small and also when you need to for example plug-in the headphones, you have to figure out where to put those flaps not to loose them.
Anyway, you decide:
Hello everyone,
I know this topic has been discussed probably a million times, but I could never find the answer I need. I recently dropped my htc evo 3d and the housing on it got bent. So I want to buy a white housing to replace my damaged housing. The problem is that I can't seem to find the white housing anywhere. Tried Ebay, Amazon, etc, but I can't find anything. The only website that seems to have it is htc repair parts, but they don't seem very legit to me. Here is the link if you want to check it out.
http://www.htcrepairparts.com/htc-evo-3d-c-129_728.html
So has anyone dealt with this website? Is it legit/reliable? Is there anywhere else I can get a white housing/white front bezel from?
thanks

yea its pretty expensive. The main part that I need is the front bezel because thats the most beaten up part. Painting it is a good idea. Do you know if I can just buy a black bezel and scratch the paint off to make it look like the white version? (it has a brushed aluminum look)
Yeah there is a thread where guys removed the paint and polished it up. Some left it brushed looking, Some even painted it red.

Unfortunately can't help you, but I think a white housing would look quite good.
You have to think though, would it be worth spending that much on it? Depends how long you plan to keep the phone I suppose. I just have skme regrets of the amount of moneu I spent on new housing for my HTC Kaiser and Touch Pro 2 in the past and sold the phones not too long after.

I plan on keeping the phone for about a year or so (if so, then it will be the longest time I kept a phone lol). I really like the features it has, and not everyone has it (almost everyone seems to have a galaxy nexus) so its kind of an exclusive phone i guess you can say. A white housing would actually allow me to sell the phone much faster and for a better price because there isnt a single GSM 3VO in white.

dude, I'm looking for a HOUSING, the actual BODY of the phone, not a silicon protector, A HOUSING.
I was looking for one too. I saw one on eBay but it was 80 bucks. Too much for me I think u should get a skin(not a case) it would hide any marks on the front or back and u can get a white one on Amazon.

So I was bored last night and decided to take apart my OG. I took pictures of the process (Other than removing the back, sorry!). I mostly took pictures of the mainboard, along with closeups of all of the chips.
Bad news:
- The screen doesn't seem easy to replace at all, I didn't even take it out because there was no obvious way to get it out.
- The battery is stuck to the back of the screen with adhesive tape. I was able to remove it but I had to be very careful.

So is the back easy to replace then? Like the glass is attached to the part that is removed so if the glass breaks we just get another back? Why can't I find replacement backs anywhere...Ugh

I would love to see a wireless charging mod for the LGOG, really dont understand why it wasnt added to the phone at first place..
the nexus 4 has two more extra connector pins in the back that our phone doesnt have so i guess it isnt a simple mod, also i dont think there is much space to work with.

The back was probably the hardest part to get off, but I was also being really careful not to crack the glass. If you follow the directions on the ifixit nexus 4 teardown you shouldn't have a problem. The plastic opening tools they sell were invaluable. I had never used them on anything prior to opening the OG, and they made the whole process so much easier.

Yea, the two connectors on the OG are for the NFC antenna that is on the inside of the back cover. I just ordered the parts to try and do the palm touchstone mod on the OG. So I'll post my results if I'm successful. I should only have to modify the the daughterboard (that I didn't take out in the pictures), so the risk is much lower than if I had to modify the mainboard.

I haven't seen the 13MP camera module connector, but I doubt it would work, primarily due to the difference in the shape of the modules. If you look at any OG version with the 13MP camera you can see that there is a bulge on the phone enclosure where the camera is.

I guess they're saying they jacked the price up so no one would buy because they're out of stock? Seems like a flimsy excuse to me. But I guess there's hope the price will go back down at some point.
