Mine fell off a few months back also, I am contemplating walking into a att store and taking one off of their demo model
mine rubber pieces got lost ages agoe
i dont really care
it's not like putting it in makes it waterproof or anything
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've had the 8525 for a day and allready the rubber plug covering the external antenna plug is missing. where can i get a replacement?
My 8525 never had one. I noticed the day I bought it and the service tech in the Cingy store said they don't come with one and he didn't know where to find one. He said something about needing the port to use a car cradle. (Then again... he could be full of crap.)
If anyone knows anything...
Thanks.
he is full of crap. they definitely come with one. He just wanted to act as though he wasn't incapable of servicing his own products.
I'm desperate to find one of these black rubber bungs too... they seem as rare as three legged fish.
Yep, mine went AWOL from my TyTN within the first week. Pretty bad design. Put me on the notify/WTB list should anyone find a source!
i have an extra one $20 dollars
[email protected]
i take pay pal but thats not the email for it
email me with your number and i will call you
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

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.

I took really good care of it. Well, until last night when it went through the washing machine...
I have the 8525 laying on a table with the battery, sim and back piece off. Any chance it will dry out and work again or is it dead for good? I didn't really want to buy the Tilt but if I have no choice I will.
I am kinda confused why the Tilt is cheaper than buying the 8525 from At&t. If I did this as an upgrade because I think my family is due for one, how much would the Tilt cost me? My dad also gets a discount because At&t is used by his company. But I am not sure if you can use that discount with a phone upgrade.
I don't know what to do..I really just hope my 8525 starts working...

Well, I would recomend to not touch in it for couple days, allowing the water to dry. After that, try to turn it on.
If not works, try disassembling it like here and try to clean the boards and pads with isopropilic alcohol and a soft cloth.
If still not works, well, go for a Tilt....
Good Luck
hook up
yea i actually work attingular so if worse comes to worse and your 85 wont revive i can do and upgrade for you PM and ill give u more details cant post too much info it might bite me in the ass... so if your in So. Cal hit PM me ill do what i ca for a fellow XDA guy
Well only had it for 5 day and my misfortune played in, I was sitting in a chair when it slipped out less than 2 feet, thing on my mind was scratches on the body I picked up just looking at body and to my surprise there were no scratches on the body at all, here I was thinking a miracle and turned it around only to find the horror, it must have landed on the screen. Man you would think for $800 bucks the screen would be little stronger, and who would take it out of the pockets every time they sit, riding a subway or bus , it’s like every time you sit ooo let me get my phone out and hold it, this really suck I really like the phone and now to fix it is hell. I called US HTC repair and they said they don’t have the unit in their system so they will call me. Gave me a time frame of 6 to 8 weeks. Well Karma I guess.
Did they give you a price for the replacement screen Magus?
Beards
**** Dude, that really sucks!!
I am so sorry man. Hope they fix it for you ASAP.
No price, as they don’t have the item on their list, I even called UK repair center 16 min hold and rep said no price list either
Well guys a Miracle, just found some OEM Touch Screen Digitizer for HD online they are selling for $85, should I get it, and if yes how hard would it be to do it myself, I have good deal of experience with assembling computers, but worst case I could get the part and walk to a local phone repair shop and ask a pro to change the screen. So should I give this a go? Please advise thanks
Man it’s like I just jumped in time capsule and went back a few day to the time when I got the phone, I’m all so excited now
I am so sorry.
Sorry for your phone.
Because of these things happening, i bought a Belt-clip thingy and put my HD there. Yes i hate keeping my phone in belt, but havng payed as you say $800 for it i might aswell live with a small annoyance.
Agreed that at at this price, screen shoould be more stronger.

But you would loose any guarantee, wouldn't you?
This makes me feel pretty lucky. Dropped mine 5 feet onto concrete and got away with a slightly dented metal corner.

Sorry for you man. I had same problem with my Trinity once, nightmare!
Have you got that new screen for $85? Looks like a very good deal. Could you give contacts of seller please?
Yes the warranty will be gone, but I guess none of my PPC or phones ever gave up on me with in the 2 year period so I’ll have to take a chance.
Well the seller is on EBay from Hong Kong. No I have not purchased this item. I was going through some service info so it seems that the manufacture intended the whole bezel/lcd/digitizer all to be changed as a unit, and the guy on eBay is selling just the Digitizer, I’m not sure how this replacement will work out, I guess the touch diamond screen replacement was meant to be the same Bezel/ lcd/digi all together but seems like a lot of people are doing the digitizer only replacement. I could try this out as it seem that the digi is attached to the LCD with glue, so technically I should be able to pull it out and put the new digi in place, or could wait for HTC repair people to work with it but it will be lot more expensive like $360 dollars(got this price from nother member who contacted the HTC repair).
If you guys have any suggestion please let me know. I’m in a dilemma
Drop mine about 4 feet, my little nephew knocks it right out of my hand sending it flying towards a tiled floor, not a single scratch. Then the next day as I pulled up my pants it fell out of my pockets again hitting a tiled floor without a scratch, I try to be more carefull and haven't dropped it since.
Have you tried to get it fixed under warranty, here in the netherland there is this idiot proof warranty which you pay extra to insure your phone from damage done by yourself, like dropping it in the toilet or on a concrete floor, looking at your screen and my track record it might not be such a bad deal on second thought
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!
