Hello!
My phone has a damaged port and I would like to replace it. I saw some videos and it looks very easy to replace so I might try it myself. The only problem I have is that I don't know what to buy!
eBay sells the replacement module cheap but it comes from China and almost everything I bought from there (eBay) doesn't work 100% and I've asked refunds.
I know there are a lot of people who already had to replace their phone's port so I ask them to come to this thread and tell me where did they bought the port from (which exact seller, not site please) and their experience with it.
Many thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Hi, I ordered my usb port from Ali.. I think if you read the feedback of the item you can't buy any defective usb port.
I don't remember the seller's name but it costs 5€ and working the charging, Otg and audio out. Mhl I didn't tried yet.
Changing the port was easy for me, but I think it can be difficult for others. You must be careful.

I just did mine. Make sure you have the proper tool set and a grounding pad. I harvested my port from a broken one on Craigslist. Check your local area and see if you can find a smashed screen. I don't know how to add pictures to my posts yet but feel free to hit me up on Facebook messenger if you need to: Stephanie Supergirl Tweedy. Where are you located? I can just do it too. I was a certified repair technician (ha!) with Sprint. I use Tmo as my provider tho. =) Good luck!! :highfive:
I think it looks good.

Hi all,
I think I've searched all sites I know of but am still unable any that offer faceplates or complete housings for our Touch HD (yes, I'm one of those who have the issue with the coating of the faceplate)
Does anyone have a good reliable source which could have them yet?
Thanks in advance.
www.pda-parts.nl
Thanks, but that's one of the sources I know. They don't seem to have what I need.
Or maybe my Dutch is so bad that I cannot search efficiently?
for anyone reading this.. i think he means.. replacement housing for the phone.. the actual pieces from the phone.. NOT extra phone cases or covers..
Of course, I need a replacement faceplate. I thought it was clear enough
i know its .....
probably not what you'll want to hear, but your probably not going to find anywhere other than htc for replacement housing, they'll keep those moulds well under raps.
then your faced with the warranty validity if you manage to source some parts. who's ur service provider, and i'm sure you'll get a warranty replacement due to your devices freezing up / locking all the time. contact them and moan!
i'm sure someone, somewhere will be able to replace due to its software faults!

E-bay is a good source for replacement parts.
Sometimes you can get real good bargains.

Hi, I have just cracked the digitizer and screen on my beloved Tmobile touch pro 2, anyone know of a place that supplies HTC parts for this model phone? I've replaced my HTC Wizard's screen a few times during it's service to me for 4 years so I would be entirely comfortable with performing this job myself.
your best bet is ebay but becafeful i hear there is a difference in the digitizers for different models
Saw the digitizer at www.cnn.cn. Good luck!

Try a search. There are several threads about this subject.
As for t-mobile housing I will suggest to get upper housing from http://eyworkshops.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=6780499 (someone try it out, i haven't order from them before.)
then http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT for the middle housing.
Hope it helps
I don't recommend Eyworkshops, finally got a refund after a month waiting for my Tmobile Touch Pro 2 digitizer.
Still looking for a reputable dealer that has one with the top housing.
I sent mine into HTC. They replaced my digitizer for $113. I know it's a lot, but it's impossible to find them, so at least I have a working phone now!
A bit expensive but I might have to do that.
I found these but they cost $23 each with a minimum of 3. I need one if we can find 2 more people we can get em. Ship[ping will be free so if anyone is into it PM me and lets get these things.

Here's what I did today: I clicked on the "Escalation Mail Box" Contact link on the Asus support website (http://vip.asus.com/eservice/cus_suggest.aspx) and I asked them to release Transformer USB/Charger cables to the US Market. I explained how much I liked their devices; that I own both the TF and the docking station and how worried I am to only have one cable that could get lost.
Here is the reply email I received:
Dear Valued Customer:
Thank you for supporting and using ASUS products!
Your comment has been received by us and is currently in process. We will improve and as a treatment, you can reply through the link to check the situation. Thank You! [link to open ticket]
If everyone writes in, maybe we can demonstrate a strong enough user demand to get the most essential accessories out on the market.

Just did the same. One cable with no spare is not cool...
The guy who sells the FolioGuard stuff, xjarl I think, mentioned he got his hands on the 40pin connector and asked in the general thread what he should "do" with them...but the thread got buried super quick.
I thought a million people would ask him to make power cables but...

Do you think you could find that thread again and forward the key info to DevCake (the guy here who does the DIY hardware articles):

If anyone can hack together a substitute cable it would be him. So, if there's a guy somewhere who can get the connectors and there's a guy here who can determine which pins we need to wire to a standard USB cable (or charger or whatever we need), then we should put those two together.
Thanks,

Just sent my request as well. I have the Radio Shack charger wall wart w/adapter but I'm very nervous about not having a dongle that fits the TF's port.
Guess I'm spoiled - a week after launch there were adapter galore for the Galaxy Tab on ebay.
I'm hoping the free market will save the day soon here...yikes!

I wouldn't call it spoiled, it seems like chargers and cables should be available readily for any device, what this is....is ridiculous.

I tracked down xjar and messaged him about 4 days ago but no response so far. That connector is the holy grail, find it and I'll be able to make a GRIP of cables and accessories.
I've just done so asking about availability here in the EU. They don't seem to be anywhere!
I got a response back:

This situation is really irking me. I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have gotten a different tab is only to rectify the accessory situation. These adapters should only be costing like 5 cents to make. I don't understand what is going on here.

Oh I'm specifically just thinking about their charger cables. I *hate hate hate* that I only have one. As far as I can tell the only places you can buy them they are like $40. Ridiculous IMO b/c that sort of thing should be pretty cheap. That is a pure profit item, if it were even in stock in the first place.

My bad, I thought it had the wrong connector but when I zoomed in I see it is at a bad angle. $40 buck is a little expensive, especially considering it is defective.

Sent from my XT910 using XDA
Until we get more in stock, there is a vendor in Hongkong selling them very cheaply on ebay.
Shipping is free but takes 2-3 weeks from China. The cables do work, we bought one to test and compare to ours, but are not full 5 pin cables and are not fully shielded. They are also only 2.5 ft. Opposed to 6 ft. I wish they were widely available and cheap as they should be for such a simple but critically valuable tool, but they arent. As more devices with non removable batteries become increasingly prevalent, perhaps that will change.
http://search8.taobao.com/search?q=...nid=0&mode=63&initiative_id=staobaoz_20120516
But the very first thing you need to do is you need to know chinese
Go into your local wireless store and ask if they have an extra one they can give you or sell. Thats what I did and got it for free.
Phone so sharp, I sliced myself.
Ye i seen the ebay 1 but its more like 5-6weeks as they wait for 3 business days to make sure payment clears then 20-25 working days for uk deliv. still ordered but tbh im pretty impatient. Hence if any 1 was able to make me a working 1/sell me theirs asap n wer from uk i wud defo buy n pay more!
Also wireless store? Sorry from uk so what store should i look out for? or am i just being a blonde here n that is in the uk? Lol
Appreciate the responses!! Thanx guys

I too am on the hunt for one of these cables... I live in Canada, but have a PO box in Blaine Wa, if you would be kind enough to lend it to me, I would pay for shipping back to you with insurance and a tracking number, I am willing to pay a rental fee if you want it.
Once I get the cable, I could refund the cost of a fed ex or USPS express envelope to you via paypal... we could use the traders feedback as an incentive...

Lots of them on sale for about $9. Order one and keep it with you at all times.
I've already got a few of these, but anytime I've asked about them or seen people post links, it's always on Amazon. Many of the ones with cheap pricing have to be shipped from Asia.
Personally I'd rather pay newegg twice as much on something like this than buy it from Amazon. The Egg just has a special place in my heart, we've been through a lot together. When I stumbled across them at Newegg I thought to myself "How did I not find some to order from newegg back when I was shopping for them."
If you're like me maybe I'll save you some trouble. Here's the link.

The DNA has sOTG functionality stock out of the box. Just use a file explorer like Astro file manager and you should be good to go. If it doesn't work, it's the adapter and not the phone. They're kind of hit or miss, but I will tell you it's rare to get one that doesn't work or doesn't work with some devices, it's just that when one doesn't work people make a lot of noise and it seems like a big problem. I bought two different styles (the two really popular ones) in case one didn't work, but both work great.
Actually I've heard that the DNA stock will also host over OTG. Haven't tried it myself, but people report using USB keyboards that work unrooted.
