Shock_Proof_ABS/Rubber_Case_Z_Ultra_XL39H - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

To preserve the bandwidth of the host, I will politely ask you to clic on the image for the overview: Thank you:
Bought over ebay.be, I paid this item 5,00-*€ and 4,00-*€ for the shipping, included, a capacitive pen/stylus, also included, a screen protector, wich is hard, and seems to have a good quality build.
But, there is a defect over the top of the ABS part that is folded. This may be a manufacturer defect. I'm to lazy to ask an exchange and send it back or receive a new one... I already tried to heat it once and bend it to restore the form. It restored a little bit... I will try again later. There is also a bend over the magnetic connector. But.. Guys... For the price I paid this, the package has awesome stuff in it... I won't bother those sellers, they made a great thing and I have enought with that. I won't judge the quality, you deserve what you receive for the price. (I paid 12,00-*€ for everything and it worth it a little bit(PayPal + 3,00-*€)). But... I will surely ask another one... We'll see...

link to the seller?
Do you have a link so i can check it out please?. thanks in advance for the help!.

I here tell that HTC will be releasing alternative battery doors at some point, including a furry one . No dates yet
There already exist 2 different covers, black and brown, but no matt finish (to buy)
at the moment.
http://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-diamond-2-p-474_210.html
I hope the matt one comes soon.
Here is a link from Taiwan, seems kinda expensive though:
http://translate.google.com/transla...em/p0289289493&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=
My german Diamond2 (MDA Compact V) has a matt finishing battery cover.
With a brushed alu part, around the cam.
.
But looks like it does not fit to the original HTC-device.
Btw. the diamond (MDA Compact IV) had a similar back cover. The T-Mobile-version of the HTC devices always had matt covers instead of the shiny finishined.
I read on Engadget that it'd go for around AU$30 if I remember correctly... or maybe it was more...
I want one aswell... The diamond is a perfect device, But the gloss battery cover... It just isn't my thing.
Although on ebay... They DO sell full housings, Which contains a matte battery cover, costs 60€ though
you may keep the back cover and resell the rest to someone who's housing broke.

It says N.B. The product image is for illustration only, not the actual bettery cover. Doesn't say if it is matt or black plastic though.
Thanks mate, When someone can confirm it's a matt one I'm buying!
Just arrived for the full housing for Topaz with matt cover!
Absolutely the best!
No more fingerprints, scratches or soap effect.
The cover seems rubberized. It is less creaking and more compact.
Definitely needed!
where did you get it, i want one
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120407614237\
The matt cover is arrived with the metal front and a set of screwdrivers and plectrum to open the phone.
To have as insurance in case of crash!

Replacement touch screen from china on ebay?

I have a cracked and scuffed touchscreen on my x10 and for $30 on ebay I was going to replace the screen. My concern is that I can get ones from China for half the price of the USA and some say 'Grade A no bubbles' but others do not, are these quality screens from China or will I be diasspointed?
Has anyone had a bad experience replacing their touch screen with the Chinese products? They say OEM but are they from Sony or are they knock offs and is there build quality concerns using the cheap ones?
in my opinoin when it comes to electronics , especially from china, you get what you pay for, id rather pay a little extra knowing that it will be ok
Agreed. With china there's a 99% chance that what you are buying is not OEM. Likely it's very cheaply made.
Yeah I hear ya... that is probably exactly what I would had replied to this post if someone else asked the same question.
I was really hoping someone would tell me that they bought a screen from XXXXX on ebay and it was better then the original but I guess I need to decide if I want cheap or quality.
I've already replaced the phone with an HTC EVO 3D but there is alot of life left in this X10 and it is a great platform for hacking and learning android. Plus they make awesome tiny tablets for around the house.
Thanks for the input.
I got white replacement from china which is quite good.. I won't say its authentic, but here in the UK most replacement dealers get there stuff from china anyway.
Buying from China is like cutting out the middle-man, the down side is just you need to wait.. And if you think they are not what you think your money's worth, you could always tell them you did not receive the item and get your refund.
try to buy from best sellers only...otherwise nothing is guaranteed.

Hello guys, I operate from China is not good, shipping times are very long, why not order from Germany or thereabouts? I ordered this screen protector from Germany and arrived in 3 days, I am very well, without delays or other touch ... Regards, Joseph

Globalshining
Maybe i'm the lucky one, bought one from globalshining on ebay for 20 Euro and thought: well if this aint gonna work, it;s 20 euro's thrown away. But here in my town (germany) they ask 80 Euro for it. After 8 days!!! I received the piece: fitted perfectly but it was at least one hour work to get the overly scratched old one of and the new one on. I did search google for disassembling instructions for the X10 and found one with lots of photo's. Without these instructions, you easily brick your phone.
Regarding GlobalShing: its on ebay, or eshoptradehk dot com I first checked the ebay ratings: then decided to do so..
But do get your own screwdrivers cause the one from China dont fit at all....

hey could someone help me with a link?
i just cracked the front screen on my fone and i need to replace it. would like to replace the whole screen and case.
i googled a few, but i was not sure if they included the front screen cos its the front screen thats cracked.
then i also learnt that the touch module is glued to the front glass screen, will the new case screen also have one attached to it or would i have to remove this one and stick it to the new one?

i just cracked mine too, I just ordered a new digitizer from ebay for $20. I think thats all we need to fix the cracked glass. Anyone know if this is right?
thats right.

Well I'm still looking for a good replacement. I've done plenty of reading and research but I'm not sure which way to go.
Has anyone done a digitizer swap? What was the end result? Were you happy or did it brick your phone?
Any opinions would be nice to hear.
Thanks.
put a super amoled display from the SGS in it
Hi, I cracked my digitiser VERY badly, so I was forced to replace the digitiser... The LED was slightly scratched because of the drop, but I don't mind, it's hardly noticable. I took the phone apart like 3 times:
1 - taking it apart
2 - power button i forgot to put back
3 - had a little of $h!t under the digitiser

I swapped my digitiser, and so did XDA Recognised Developer for the x10 pvyparts and none of our phones were bricked, it worked perfectly after... Took about 20min to do, I did it during school break because I was bored...
Goodluck!
Better you replace the phone, you don't know the quality that Chinese product
i have tried a couple of different touches an for me so far all of them has been a bit of a dissapointment, the touch works good but the fit is bad. Sensors, proximity particularly, gone bad. sry for really bad eng.
i got my digitizer from ebay china its was pretty good get it with the housing black or white much better then trying to sick the digitizer on the old housing paid around $30 au
i guess at the end of the day all these parts are made in china oem or not

[Q] Help with a broken screen

Hello,
Yesterday I have applied too much pressure to my dear Blade, so I got several cracks going through my screen. I am really not into fixing this kind of problem myself, so I'm thinking about other options. I can give it repair shop, but it will take ages as they would have to order the parts and would certainly order new screen, not just glass, resulting in an enormous price that would most likely be bigger than the one I bought this phone. Does anyone know any ways of filling the cracks? It might be important that those cracks doesnt seem to reach the bottom of the glass. I have found many suggestions of bringing the phone to mechanics who fix the cracks on the windshields. Would that be a good idea?
I would been orderd full replacement on dealextream or amazon or any other site.
would take 1-2 weeks to get the replacement, and just watch a video how to replace it
AND ITS CHEAP!!!!
Some Links:

Thank you very much, but are you sure it comes with a glass for screen included?
I really don't know, ill watch some others when i get home from my job!
Thank you for your help! And what do you think about bringing it to the car windshield repair service, totally bad idea?

Sounds like a bad idea. I think the part he linked doesn't include any glass, but there are replacement parts with the glass cheap on ebay & dealextreme.
However ...many people I asked said dealextreme can't be trusted

Many other people buy off them successfully & are happy. They're a big popular website for cheap stuff from China. Some Cheap stuff from China is low quality. Some is fake. Sometimes it might get lost. Often you get a good deal, but there's a risk involved, buyer beware.
Our phones are cheap Chinese phones, made in China for a Chinese company, more have been sold in China than the rest of the world combined. I think about 6 million sold in China. A website that specialises in cheap stuff from China is the ideal place to find replacement parts for our phones.
You could also find the same things on eBay, if you trust it more.

[Q] SD card/micro usb Flap keeps coming loose

Hi guys,
I have been facing a problem with the falp on the left side of my xperia z2 (white, but has no gaps nor missaligns), which is that it keeps coming off. First it was ok, nothing moved, then, after opening and closing 4 times to connect to the PC it started coming off.
Now i only take it off to plug it tot he charger. infact, i bought and adapter so that i can use the wireless charging already.
The only solution I found was on a thread where someone said to put sillicone lube on it. This worries me, since i've put some (not to gross out people) "mouth moisture", AKA spit, on the rubber and it instantly makes the flap jump out of position, so i assume a lube will only make it worse.
I have contacted sony but if i send it to repais i will be without a phone for atleast 10 working days, and that is if i'm lucky....
This is a problem, since the phone is waterproof, or i would just cut off the damn thing
Does anyone have a solution for this?
thank you very much
Ive found that the flap its self losens after time but it being closed is only problematic when there is dust in the port, cleaning it out solves my problem

Well, unfortunatly not mine... that was the forst thing I did when it stopped closing.
Amazingly now it is staying closed, has not self-opened for about 8 hours.
I guess it just gets posessed now and then...
I'd get that checked out, been using mine a lot since I got it a month ago and this has never happened, surely this will affect the water resistance.
Posted a thread about this previously - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787102
Same with what Envious_Data said, cleaning out the dust from the flap and the "socket" where the silicone seal seats solved the problem for me.

"I kinda semi-fixed the loose flaps by cleaning off the accumulated dust around the edges of the seal and the covered area...doesn't seem to fall out as often now."
This is what you answered on your post and i have seen the answer, but " doesnt seem to fall as often now" is not, imho, the ideal scenario for a 700 euro phone, now is it?
Mine has not fallen today, which is a freaking miracle. Did not do a thing to it, it just... fixed itself i hope. Not gonna put it under water though

Haven't have it pop open on me since then actually. However I do fully agree with you that it's totally unacceptable for a shiny new flagship device to have such flaws.
I got the damn same problem! It looks like is the dirt but it might be something else. I cleaned the flap pretty (really) well. I did it with a slightly weet (with alchol, be carefull)cotton swap. I had to do this two times to be sure its really clean.Its holding more time in its place now. I'll post if the flap pop out again by itself.

In case you buy, I used swiss post, it take a long time but it was secure. This was the first time I buy someting from another country (Im from Mexico, btw sorry for my english hehe)

Thanks, must be the flaps have been twisting too much and it was trying to twist back or something which made it push off.
Taking it off and putting back in fixed it 100% for me, just ordered a magnetic charger though. Dont wanna remove and put it back in every month.
Thanks so much for your post, I used a wall pin and de-dusted my flap and it no longer wants to keep opening.. It was quite surprising how much was actually there
Thanks again!

Buying a replacement isn't so easy, well it is, but 99% are copies unless they have been pulled from old phones now. Most if not all the reviews condemn these replacements as poor quality and unfit for purpose. I have recently lost my micro USB cover and am waiting on delivery of a "copy" port replacement. Cost just under £5 for a pair of covers. Could of got some second user official ones for £7 but I thought I'd take the risk with the copies.
As for cleaning I just use ear buds/Q tips to collect the lint/dust.. anything sharp will only compromise the water proof nature of the seal.

Replacement Battery Flap

Hey everyone,
So today I noticed that the black rubber that is under the battery flap of my phone is starting to peel off. It isn't too terrible yet, but I do use the waterproof feature of my phone regularly and I don't want to jeopardize my phone if this peels off. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement cover? I checked eBay and didn't have much luck so I am hoping some of you guys may know of another site that supplies the OEM parts.
Thank you!

Yeah a common thing on these phones (USB cover door). I have not found any yet either, AliExpress had some but were pulled or ran out (just checked again they are back now, so AliExpress has them again --
https://www.google.com/search?q=Z3v+usb+cover+&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8). Better link -- http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-Sony-Xperia-Z3V-D6708-OEM-SIM-Card-Micro-SD-USB-Charging-Port-Dust-Plug-Waterproof/32430237429.html
I had to take my (wife's phone as well) phone back to VZW and get a replacement phone due to this. If your phone is within the one year warranty go to VZW store and show them they will get you another phone.
I did a test and if you apply a tiny amount of Vaseline on the seal it will work better as well as make a more watertight seal, just lightly coat the rubber seal, good idea to do all doors like that, I have a product called "dielectric grease" that works even better, use sparingly, can get at auto parts store.
So glad this is an easy purchase if I need it. Thanks.

Agreed, Sony should let people have access to their supplier. But then again Sony is greedy and wants the revenue from out of warranty repairs.

Thankfully, I was raised in an Italian household and in Europe, the comma replaces the decimal point. So if something was say $3.50, in Europe, it would be written $3,50.

My wife and I visited the VZW store today her usb cover seal tore again and I am still trying to get a good replacement for mine, both refurbished phone VZW sent out were junk, one the camera had a dab of something under glass on the lens and the other one the display was brown in tint or hue, if I don't get a good refurb in the next few tries I am going to just buy a cover and be done with it.

When you get your next refurbished device just remove the flap that you need from it. Just be careful when pulling it out and hold the white connector ribbon really good so that your fingers don't slide down it and rip the cover off (from the white piece).

There's nothing dishonest about that at all. They are sending you a replacement phone expecting to get one back without a flap, correct? I bet they would even give you permission if you explain that you aren't happy with the quality of the refurbished devices. The flaps are easily interchangeable without any repercussions.

No worries man. I'm glad there are still honest people out there with a conscience. I would suggest you to ask them though so there is no question about what you are doing. I'm fairly certain that they will allow you to. I would ask technical support rather than a normal CSR though. They seem to have more information. I've asked similar questions about refurbs and they are usually willing to do what it takes to make the customer satisfied (within reasonable limits). No harm in asking right?

No worries man. I'm glad there are still honest people out there with a conscience. I would suggest you to ask them though so there is no question about what you are doing.

Thanks for the ideas, no sweat off my back yet VZW is the one footing the bill for postage on the refurbished phones.
Got one!
I got a new flap off ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131518465518?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I received it in 9 days and carefully compared it side by side with a genuine one on a new phone and it appears the replacement is identical and genuine

Wow, pricey huh?
Yeah the price has gone up from $9 since I purchased, but still totally worth it. I got some wireless chargers and am only going to use those from now on.
