I broke the little flap off the top of my X10 (the bit that covers the USB port) while moving house the other week and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get one (Black)?
I know its not needed and has very little use but it looks a bit weird without it :/
no idea why sony didn't make the USB flush
try this
http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.xperia%20x10
I've have been without my usb cover for months now and I'm used to it at this point. I've looked all over and unless you're going to buy a full new housing and pay all that money for a simple plastic flap, you can't find it anywhere by itself. I've contacted sony and they said they don't make/have that cover as a replacement part, so if you want a new one, you have to send in the whole phone for repair and pay for it, so just get used to it.
In the event that you do find it somehow/somewhere, please update us.
Thanks and good luck.
that's a bit crappy, surely they can see that its gonna be a weak part and will break over time for many users?
oh well, guess I'll just get used to it, it isn't worth an entire shell for a new one
Mine broke today, after a month use.
Anyone got place where we can buy spare one ?

Looking at the pic there is no USB flap cover included.
The flap does show up for the white one. Is it included? I don't know.

good eye so it does. has anyone written asking?
Yeah that's weird the black one doesn't have one yet the white one does -_____-
Just a heads up for anything who want to try this, you need to remove the touch glass and re-attach to this new replacement one. I'm personally too scared to do it myself, but i've read about one person person who successfully did it, but got a little crack in his screen for doing so.

If u referred to the tiny USB cover u can stick back if u squize the parts from plastic clips with a hole in the middle and try to insert from a 45 angle.

Ive been through 3 flyers from best buy all with small pieces of dust under the screen
UPDATE: wow so i went to best buy with my box and charger and cables unopened with my flyer and asked if i could exchange my flyer because i have pieces of dust in my screen
i showed the worker then she brought the customer service manager named mitchel and looked at my screen and i showed him the dust and he was wiping it and looking and it is very visible but he told me he cannot see anything and i pointed with my finger where it is and it is very clearly under the screen
even the other worker lied to me
what should i do?
the customer service manager told me i could return it and get my money back but won't let me buy another flyer.
i don't get how that works either
Nope, but i was wondering when someone was going to op a thread on it. Seems like there's one of these threads in every tablet forum. Seeing how no one has brought it up yet, I would say it's not a big number of owners.
yeaa i was surprised how no one posted one of these
am i just getting all the tablets with the dust in it?
i feel bad for keep on exchanging at best buy

I also had a small piece of dust on the display. It is really annoying, because i'm always looking at that point knowing that it is there. I contacted HTC and they told me to speak with my dealer. I sent the flyer to them und they passed it to HTC.
I haven't got it back yet, but i really hope they fix that

I returned my first flyer because of a small piece of dust under the screen that I found annoying. My second one had a dead sub-pixel which I found even more annoying. OCD? Maybe. Anyway number 3 seems ok but I find myself not looking too closely at the screen in case a spot something again!
My front bezel/housing as a few minor nicks that are driving me crazy.. does anyone know a place to source a replacement bezel? I can find them for the I9100 all day long -- but nothing for the I777. I found a few places that sell the LCD/Digitizer/Bezel combo -- but that's a bit pricey for something I don't need, heh.

Had a dream last night my phone fell onto concrete and shattered everything to pieces. I fully blame reading your post as it was the last thing I read before going to bed.
As for what you're trying to find for replacing, parts are currently very hard to find. Hopefully more replacement parts will be made available as time goes on. I know I'm regularly looking because part of my business is smartphone repair.

Do you think it'll fit? Its stock black? How do you get it off anyway?
Why wouldn't it fit? It's an OEM piece. It should be the same color as stock, too. The only thing im not absolutely sure on is whether or not it will have the AT&T branding (I hope not!)
I'll post an update once it arrives and I install it.

looking forward to the pics. hoping there is no att brand on it also!
any update? pics? does it have ATT branding?
thanks!
Its just the outer bezel, there's no branding. The touch screen/glass is what has the branding.
For those interested:
The good news is, its definitely an OEM piece. The bad news is that there is no way to replace it without breaking the LCD. The amount of force required to separate the LCD from the adhesive holding it to the bezel is outstanding.
Yes, I broke my LCD. Kind of frustrating since I only had a couple nicks on the bezel originally. That was the straw that broke the camels back so I ordered a Galaxy Nexus instead.
Hope this information helps someone else...

Did you use a heat gun or anything? I've replaced two bezels for people and neither lcd broke. All it took was some heat and it peeled right out. Just like the nexus s.

Yes I have the same problem, I went online to buy the frame, they don't sell it. You have to buy the entire housing and it looks pretty complicated. I'm trying to return the phone and they wouldn't take it because of a scratch on the metal piece. Did you ever figure out how to fix the frame only? I dont even know how to take the phone it self out. Looks like the entire insides have to be transferred to the new housing. It sucks, should of never bought this dang phone. Thanks
Does anyone know how to do this without using the heat gun?
Sorry to bump an older thread, but i want to change the entire housing (including bezel) but using the same lcd screen on my s2, would heating the screen to remove it from the old housing ruin the screen? has anyone does this sort of thing before that can chime in? my bezel is cracked n scratched and is driving me nuts!
any help at all would be appreciated!
I have been seeing them going on Amazon for 15 bucks, I really don't know about the reliability of the seller but they are supposed to OEM off original phones.

I dont know if you realize but the top & bottom parts where the stereo speaker grills are are not part of the aluminum "unibody" so those parts are most likely glued on or snapped in or something like that.. it's up to you if you want to return it over something like that
I wouldn't but that's just me
Dat Gap..... I just felt like I was on the chive with how big that was.

look at the pics from anandTech review same gap that you have i think.
I'm sorry, but I don't really see an issue with your device. I would rather have one without the gap, but don't think I'd return it for that reason.
Do you have any other defects? Really be a shame to return it for one that has dead pixels, LCD light leakage, screen discoloration, etc.

And this is an ATT phone you got already? If not this is the wrong section.
I looked at the 3 ATT had on display today. None had a gap like that. The metal on yours looks kinda jagged, its not a smooth cut (kinda like your thumbnail) Looks like a defect in the case. You can fix your thumbnail (tlc) dont know if you can fix that case I'd exchange it.
I also went to 2 different stores, one last night and one today. Both display devices had no gaps...although the one near Penn station was severely abused already with multiple gashes on the sides and the plastic. I would sent it back
return
return NOW!

Nice subtle burn there
For anyone with this 'gap' defect, does it seem as though the speaker grille could come loose/fall off because of it? It's a shame that one of the only non-machined part on the phone is already showing such obvious signs of a defect. Here's hoping it's contained to one of the first batches :fingers-crossed:

I was very disappointed to see the matte finish wear off after only a few weeks on my HTC one x. With this one I'm thinking that the back may be a scratch magnet. Anyone have significant scratching on the back yet?
in pouch all the time, no chance to scratch it
Carry mine naked (the phone not me) and not a single mark on it yet. It may be to soon to tell but so far so good..
I panicked when I realized that my keys were in the same pocket as my phone. But not a scratch yet.

No scratches on the body, but like the guy before me I accidently dropped my phone into my pocket with keys, I got a couple small little nicks on the bezel but you can only see them on an angle. I'm going to see if I can polish them out. I googled it and saw that a normal kitchen sponge with the one rough side gets them out, Also heard toothpaste and just ordered some aluminum polish.
Other people only noticed when I show them, and my GF said I have severe OCD because the nicks are so tiny. She is right. It's not really noticeable to anyone but me, but it's driving me insane!

I'm going to go see if I can find some information about the durability of the black one over on the international forum.
Not looking so good for the black one so far, it seems they chip really easily near the top above the camera. So sad, because its so nice looking.
I think I've seen finish problems on every single One variant thats been released from HTC...

If the thing is going to looked chipped to hell in a month from normal use, I'll just return it now. My s3 started to chip the silver rim and I got rid of it immedaitely. I can't stand something that looks like crap for no reason whatsoever, actual damage is one thing but come on....

This isn't one of those times. The buttons on the dummy phone are not usable, it's ridiculously light, and the feel is somewhat different. The real phone was sturdier and had functional buttons, of course. They were both set out on the same day in each store and the dummy looks terrible now while the real phone looks perfect. It's a pretty decent indicator of the dummy phone being made with cheaper materials.

I just don't believe that HTC would have spent the time to assemble a phone that isn't going to be functional since it apparently takes a lot of time to assemble the aluminum body for the HTC One.

No scratches on the aluminium surface but the beats audio red logo and writing have almost disappeared. White 'audio' writing still there.
I dropped my One on hardwood and it rolled over onto a brick ramp (I was at the entrance to a restaurant) and skidded down it on its back. There are some deep scratches on the back and scuffs, but it's okay. Definitely want to put a case on it if you plan on using it out on the street

The matte finish wears off much more easily because the material was plastic. Microscopically, a matte finish is just an unpolished, jagged surface. Since it's plastic, it's not hard enough to be able to withstand the forces exerted on it when rubbed by your pocket/hand/table long enough so it gets polished over time (check out a computer mouse that's been used for a long time). This is completely different than scratching or chipping, which is a complete removal or deformation of the material. The nice thing about plastic is that because it's soft, it's much easier for hairline scratches to "heal" over time as the surface gets rubbed on.
The aluminum back will definitely maintain the matte finish better than plastic because it is a harder material. Drawback is that since it's harder, it's also more brittle so it's more subject to chips/nicks and hairline scratches will stick around forever.
TL : DR Material properties are a *****. The matte finish (it's actually a bead blasted finish) will stick around for awhile as long as your hands/table/pockets aren't made of sandpaper or things harder than aluminum.
