Anyone know where i can get another battery door? my kaiser fell and has picked up a bunch of huge knicks on the back. lmk thanks
anyone? my battey door is actually now broken from one side and it wont close (sadly its practically half opened from the back heh)
I would like to know where to get one too. I have some modification ideas and I need a couple to experiment on.
just called customer service you can order directly from htc only the price are crazy...
I hate the rubberized cover
I wish OEMs start making non-rubberized replacement covers. If we cried out loud that Black Trinity's Batt Cover is a fingerprints trap, Kaiser's original cover is a dirt trap and every new casual touch adds to it's sorry look.
The only solution I found yet is BodyGuardz rear transparent part..
BTW rubberized does not and should not mean doing it poorly. My IBM Thinkpad cover follows the same concept, but is much tougher to both touch and scratch..
Any ideas ?

I just called HTC America to see if I could get a spare back cover for my TyTN II. Well, they don't carry that part because "it's not a US model". OK, I then ask for a back cover for the Tilt and she responds "We don't carry parts for OEM branded HTC devices". So I replied, "Great, why do you exist?" She replied "we carry very few parts". What a great company. So it's off to AT&T? I'm not thinking I'll get much love there...
So, I am now very interested in finding a source for the back cover that will ship to the USA.
hopefully the folks at www.cnn.cn will have them in the next couple of months. i purchased replacement casing for my Trinity and my Q from them in the past..
yeah, ive already called ATT, they dont have any extra parts for the tilt yet. i figured HTC would want atleast $45 - 50 for the piece ahh. im going to call them up today. thanks anyways guys

yeh
cnn has the largest range of spare part, and is one of the most reliable online stores, just send them an email, and they will try to get the items in as quick as possible.

Go to any service center and order the door they should have this part.I ordered in Romania and in 3 day they bring the piece ( original part OEM ) and cost 20 USD with VAT (TVA,tax).Not cheep but original part .
So any new regarding this? I'd be interested to know! And there are other threads showing how to "dismantle" the kaiser, we could do some Tutorial on how to proceed
It may be worth waiting for the mega capacity batteries that are too big to fit in the usual battery space. They usually come with a new extended cover.
That way you could kill two birds with one stone - better battery capacity and a free replacement battery cover.
im looking for one too, but a cover for the tilt with no camera.
If i could get my hands on a battery cover with no camera hole, i would do a dismanteling tutorial.
Found one "special order"
My phone fell and the little plastic cover on top of the camera broke. Tried to fix it but doesn't look nice. I just found a back door (special order), hopefully it will arrive in like 2 weeks not 2 months.

My grommit fell out and got lost when I first got the phone but the local Softbank shop here in Kyoto were lovely; they ordered a new one and had it delivered it to my home address at no charge whatsoever. (Did I mention that the salesgirl was cute, too?) Perfect service! Kudos to you Softbank (And the lovely salesgirl).
i dropped my brothers htc athena x7500, now, after picking up all the pieces and spending many hours reassembling, it works fine, but is a mess, and buttons are missing. where can i get just a replacement casing? complete with buttons. already tried all the usual suspects...(ebay)
any one help please?
Search around here, someone posted about a replacement case recently. However, it was expensive and didnt have buttons.
I have searched for quite some time now but I can't find the links to the shop that sells the case (I do get dozens of links to leather cases, but it's not what I'm looking for). Anyone has the right lienk?
Thanks,
Silviu

wow!!!!
Dude you paid 97 dollars for a piece of metal. man, my screen would need to be in different parts of the world before i could justify that!!!! were you not covered under warrantee? or maybe your very successful and loaded? in which case can i have some money?
My X7500 is so scratched and dented that it really looks like a piece of garbage... So yeah, I think it's worth replacing the housing. Unfortunately even the ebay auction failed: no unit left... I'm back to my quest for a new (black) housing!
Brando sells them now. I've just ordered one. Anyone know of a good dissasembly guide?

Look for Athena here http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!4472423472DCFC38!272.entry
Could you please post the link to the replacement housing sold by Brando? I can't find it in their e-shop.
Hi,
Look here http://mobile.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03131 It's the one that I ordered.
Regarding the replacement case, I found on ebay a dummmy X7500, used for display in stores etc. In fact it's just a housing with a fake screen and a piece of lead inside to make it heavier. I got it for 40 € instead the 75 €for the replacement case only....
Cool. I got notice from my post office that a package has arrived from hong kong, gonna go and see if it's that after my lecture.

Did it work ok for you to switch the housing?
I'll get the TORX screwdrivers only tomorrow, I'll try and let you know. But it does look promising, as the housing is the same, and I have detailed info about the disassembly in the service manual.

Yes please keep us informed as I have managed to get my hands on a similar case (ie shop demo unit).
Also let us know the sizes you use for the Torx drivers (I only have a T6) and any things you need to look out for.
oh yes. tmobile ARE helpfull
ok. i noticed how much money were all willing to spend on housing and i then had a sudden realisation. im tight. i dont wanna pay for something that is going to be destroyed again when the kids use my phone as a frisbee or coffee matt.
I called up tmobile. explained that the casing was scratch (of course i mentioned it was a design fault with the casing and magnets, not that i had repeatedly dropped it)........
and good old tmobile said "no problem, send you phone to us and we will repair/replace it. after removing the wm6 updates and a system reset i sent it off. 4 days later, a completley new phone. excellent service.
Hi guys,
I thought it would bw hard.
It was.
I managed to disassemble completely the dummy unit, and it wasn't easy. The instruction in the manual are correct, but not quite complete (there are a few times when you must guess some key points), and it doesn't always apply to dummy units
I managed to get a clean and mostly unscratched casing (it looks like new actually), but the buttons (internet explorer, OK, Windows) are torn.
Now I'm reluctant to open my X7500, I'm afraid I'll ruin the buttons and as I don't have any replacement, I would be left with holes instead of buttons. I saw that even the casing sold by Brando has no buttons provided.
So do it at your own risk... But for now I won't open mine, except if the case really gets badly beaten.

I got the windows, ok button and internet button in my brando housing. Plus the right side buttons.
Then you may try and keep us posted maybe.
The one good thing is, I found out that removing the magnets (as I never use the keyboard) is very easy: just unscrew the three screws holding the bottom plate and remove it carefully (there are a few hooks that must be pried apart). The three magnets are visible and easily removable from the bottom plate (they are glued).
So I'm one of the North American users who got the devices attached to the gay leather pouches that are attached with screws.. Ive removed the 3 screws and the leather case because it's anoying...
I currently have 3 Sharp metal screws protruding (the 3 screws removed drilled into these)
I found out the Part numbers for the proper screws and the rubber feet to cover them.
76H01969-00M X 1
76H01968-00M X 1
76H02025-00M X 1
72H01821-00M X 3
Now I've contacted HTC numerous times over e-mail. Asking where to order... half the time they wont respond, the other times they say you cannot purchase parts, and I have to send my device in to be repaired...
I don't want it repaired, I just want these 3 screws, and the proper rubber feet...
Does anyone know where I can buy these HTC parts listed above? I'd be indebt!
I remember a postiing here about someone who had perfected his "gay" shift without having to send it a correctional facillity
Just did a minute search but couldn't find the posting, it should be around though.
Anyone with better search qualities ? It's about someone who crafted a solution himself.
lol,
I refuse to use that leather case, and the screw mounts are just scraping the crap out of my desk because they come out further than the case... haha
Only reason why I leave them on is because I drag this thing around and don't want it falling apart on me when I'm out.
Ordering parts not possible!
I recently had the vent on my device broken, I honestly do not have a clue how it got broken but it got to a point that I just want to fix it. I called HTC hoping it will be done under warranty, I was wrong! Firstly I was charged £250 to fix a simple wire gauze on the vent at the back of the device, I refused and told them to pack my device and send it back...except that it will cost me about £50 for the luxury of their diagnosis of a cosmetic issue.
I was appaled and requested for my device anyway, I had to log on to their repair website to pay to have it back, this time, I saw that the price has gone down to £135 to replace the tiny gauze or half that just to get the item back...I paid.
I was asked for me feedback, I advised them they're better off without asking me!
I'm shocked that HTC handles things in this kind of fashion...
I used to have an HP iPaq HW6955... I used that phone forever, no issues for years...
Finally towards the end, small things kept breaking... HP had a website where you could order parts... And to my surprise they were cheap as hell too...
Did probably 5-7 repair jobs myself until one day some random idiot shoulder checked me into a cement wall and the phone was at the end of its days (on my hip between me and the wall) RIP! hahha
Still, I can't beleive HTC doesn't provide these types of services.
The solution on this forum is what you need

The solution I remember the guy talking about was that he sanded off or polished something... no pun intended here.
Anyway, he found a way to order some screws that would fit his holes,from his device that is, and he was a happy gaymer afterwards.
I tried "digging deeper", but couln't find that posting. Damn, I know it will be a solution for you. Try yourself too.
Decided to pop into town today and look for a new case for my shiny DHD showed the lady on the market but unfortunately no cases just yet. Got back to my car removed my phone and found my sim cover was missing, in a frantic rush I retraced my tracks had a chat with the lady on the market with no luck.. I'm now totally gutted! I did notice the cover was not a very good fit from the start.
Anyone know where I could get a replacement?
Thanks!

That sucks, yesterday I went looking for a case but all I could find was a sock with micro-fibre lining (still a pretty poor fit), anywho getting to the point one shop I visited tried to squeeze my phone into a Krusell case, needless to say it didn't fit and my SIM cover was left behind inside the case. Fortunately I spotted it and retrieved it. Incidentally carphone warehouse advertise the Krusell cases as being compatible on their website, it's a lie I tells thee.
P.S. after giving up my search I went to GAME on oxford street and bumped into Jason Bradbury from The Gadget Show who had just been doing interviews about the Desire HD, and he seemed to like it. Funnily enough though he didn't seem all that knowledgable about technology.
Just realised my phone will not work without the sim cover(showing no signal), seems there are two electrical connectors which connect to my lost sim cover.. Even more gutted now!
If anyone knows where I can get one then please let me know... Thanks
You should contact HTC. They will hopefully understand and you can buy a new cover from them, if not get one free
Certified service/repair shops can also order you pretty much any part of the phone.
Thanks guys shall get onto it tomorrow

OMG, I pactically had to find a pair of mole grips to get my cover off! You must have not replaced it properly as it really is a tight fit.
But I do hope you get a replacement soon mate, I can imagine how miserable it must be
Makes me wonder about the continuity of these things, I remember out of the box my cover just slid off with virtually no resistance. I have raised my issue with HTC and T-Mobile but still a little in "no man's land" After speaking to HTC and because the phone is new there seems to be no spares just yet, but they are trying to elevate my problem and hoping for a solution.
Sadly for now its back to my Satio which considering the brief affair with my DHD it’s like going from a Bugatti Veyron back to a steam powered Hillman Imp
Wrecked my Sim cover on day one!!
I was trying to take it off unsuccessfully. My fingers were not getting any purchase and were just sliding off the cover so i took a cloth and gripped the sides of the cover a little too firmly as it turned out. The cover came off and then promptly folded neatly in half. Noooooooooooooooooo! Luckily it did fit back on and the contacts meet so I still get reception and can use the phone, but there is an obvious crease down the back of the cover that will turn into an obvious split soon.
Granted I applied too much force, but I could not remove it otherwise. It is extremely thin and flimsy plastic and given the much touted 'build quality' of the single piece of metal backplate, the Sim cover is a joke.
So, I need a new one too. On my first day. Unbelievable. Let this be a warning. If you too have a Hulk-like grip, get someone else to remove the Sim cover for you.
Otherwise she is a beauty
Does anyones cover actually fit properly - i.e without a gap between it and the phone?
If anyone gets a minute could they post an image of their sim cover looking at the inside, I would like to cobble something together to get my phone running temporary
Big thanks..
Sim covers are being sent out of Thailand as we speak. I got this info from HTC NL, so I don't know whats up with UK.
Glad to receive my new cover soon .
Couple of pics of the sim cover for you. they dont seem to connect together. but there does seem to be something under the surface of the cover.
Thanks for posting the pics what a star! Yes it seems to not make a loop contact so bang goes my theory of a piece of foil...
Quick updats, just had a call from HTC they are sending me out a new cover very good service on their part and T-Mobile said they would send me out a new phone, a bit of an over kill me thinks. Both options are going through the motions and I shall need to cancel the T-Mobile option? Its the usual story waiting for a train and along comes.....
yeah, that was my first thought. im guessing its the antenna. no cover, no sim, no signal. at least your getting it sorted now. couple of days of no phone isnt the worst thing ever...well.
Images of inside of Sim Cover
As requested, pictures of inside of Sim cover. Please let us know if you find a supplier for a Sim cover, mine is not long for this world. Cheers Midge
Edit
Haha just noticed some pictures already posted, still its the thought..... Glad to hear HTC being helpful. I will try them for a new cover too.
I'm really surprised by this because mine, like a few others' was a real struggle to remove when I got it. Seems like an issue with some covers since the part it joins to will be strictly controlled.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Strange. I tested it on my Desire HD. Without the SIM-cover it still had full GSM/GPRS signal. Only HSDPA connection was lost.
With the cover on I get 3-5 bars HSDPA signal on this location.
Sorry to hear your news skins....Ive said it before it seems some have good ones, some have bad, mine is just fine, well its a bit too tight, bad quality control i reckon...hope you get it sorted soon.
Thanks for the pics, Interesting what was said about getting a signal with the cover off, I may just try it with 10 yards of foil trailing behind me, desperate measures
T-Mobile called earlier to say they are still out of stock and unknown when new DHD's will be in so I'm still waiting and keeping both options open to see which one arrives first.. Its getting there but been a damn long week so far!
