Thanks

If anyone's gpt a bricked Wizard, I desperateky need one for development, so please get in touch if poss.

is there a source for parts ? Id like a housing and a very front clear cover
My wiz has general chips and bumps from normal use but the most annoying thing is a couple of scratches on the screen (may be the digitizer or even infront of that) look like from keys in a pocket or similar

I have not been able to find anyone who sells parts, other than battery's. I saw on another thread that some one managed to get a battery cover from HTC Europe.

You haven't looked very hard! I post the auctions here all the time! :wink:

Although admittedly I am out of stock of wizard casings / housings - I've sold 10 in the last month. I do have battery covers at the moment though with and without the windows logo. And yes, they are original!

HTC Kaiser Battery Door

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.
mobileplanet.com look for htc kaiser or tytn ii battery cover

I would looooooooove one of those -- I'd gladly pay $50 for it

I Like the DEV Phones Glossy Keyboard, looks good on it. Although that does mean smudges out of this world lol. Have you looked into getting that design inscribed on the back of your cover?

Concerning back covers.
I have already ordered one from HTC to replace my grey one with a black one. Unfortunately they didnt have the white UK one. Why not order a replacement for 15 dollars and have it sent out and painted? I am sure it can't be more than 50 dollars when finished.

Finally? This was posted at least one week ago. They don't seem to answer my emails so I don't know what to think. I find the replacements very expensive as well specially the digitizer. Personally find it very hard to wreck the LCD without wrecking the digitizer, which in that case will be very expensive to replace, over 360$. And that's if you replace the parts yourself.
Oh well It's good someone has these replacements parts but the screen has been on Ebay for much less, still no sign of the digitizer.

Sorry my phone has been out of commission for a while and decided to check the other day for parts and ran up on them. Decided to post the links...Oh well. I bought my bro's broken g1 for 50 bucks and put his screen in mine. Not sure what is wrong with his goes straight to the recovery mode and some keys dont work.

No problem. Good you managed to open the internals of your device. I can't remove the housing from the back.

Is it hard to take the g1 apart and put it back together. I scratched the housing and was thinking bout getting a replacement and transferring everything. But im scared i might mess sumthing up.

Probably not difficult for someone who has opened a lot of phones. This is my first time.

That sounds like a ripoff to me. You can get a decent 22" LCD for that price.

HTC Shift Parts Ordering - Not possible?

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.

[Request] HTC Magic Disassembly & Assembly Video

I've hunted high and low for a video of the disassembly and assembly of the HTC Magic and have failed to find either I was hoping that someone could possibly find the time to record one? I think it would become an invaluable resource for an awful lot of people (just look at the sales of those replacement housing's on eBay, just recently me included ) I have a copy of the service manual however videos always give a better idea of what your meant to be doing...
I'd also be interested in better quality images of the disassembly/assembly if available anywhere

I may be getting my housing on Monday or Tuesday. I'll keep in mind to make a vid for you, I'll try and show you a bit how to disassembly and replace housing. I don't change the whole thing though... so I only change the faceplate/battery cover. Changing the middle requires too much work ;p So if you're ok with that then yeah, I'll make a vid once the housing arrives

Cool thanks =] I was contemplating changing the middle but as you say it appears looking at the service manual that it's quite a job although I think I'd prefer the silver middle matching the colour of the buttons
Just out of curiosity where did you get your housing from? I emailed a couple of sellers on eBay however got very little in the way of a reply and when I did it was:
"Fascia fits Magic G2 blah blah blah *more broken english here*"
so I just took a chance and ordered the cheapest from Hong Kong (think it was about £7.00)

Seeing as how you just bought one from Hong kong for that price, I'm pretty sure you got the wrong housing Where is your microphone slot? Mines on the right, I have a 32A. I'm pretty sure 32B is on the left, you have to be careful with which housing to order. Hopefully it matches with your phone! There aren't that many housings out there that have the left microphone hole. My middle part is already silver (fortunately!) so that's why I kept that. I bought my housing for $11 US but I'm not sure of the quality yet. It should be here by monday hopefully, I'd like put it on!
Also, you should check if the housings have like ummm these gold rings or w/e you call them, It's on the back of the faceplate. The faceplate requires them to place your screws in it. I've ordered one in the past and they didn't have that. You can take yours out and put it in the other faceplate but its not toooo easy.
To be honest, if you wanna change the middle, unless someone makes a video to help! Or you've got experience in this area (I didn't, first phone I've taken apart haha) I suggest you take it to a shop or something and have them do it for you. Looks like quite a bit of work with the middle section, but it's not impossible

Is the microphone the small hole with the smiley face next to the microUSB slot?
if so then both the housing and the phone match up I waspretty sure they would as it's advatised on eBay.co.uk and was stated as being for HTC Magic G2 rather then for MyTouch3G or Sapphire
http://bit.ly/aZa0Hb
I've read about those gold ring bit's and I'm unsure if there included but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough
Thanks for your help

Interesting so a type 1 digitizer has a chip which is diagonal and the type 2 chip is square? seems easy enough I will post once I get my case in the post
hopefully it's simple and 32a devices have a type 1 and 32b devices a type 2, however that all seems far too easy
Thanks for a link to the vid as well

Following that vid link is hard hahaha, and oops, I guess its only the mytouch that have the microphone hole on the other side. Well you're good to go! Only 1 or two more days before it arrives, I hope. I ordered from the same person you did. Lets hope they give us everything we need haha

Just got back from college to find a 'Sorry we missed you!' card from royal mail which can't be anything other then my housing off of ebay (Don't get post very often and it's the only thing I've ordered recently that might not fit through the letter box) very fast shipping! only ordered it a week ago
I'll be picking it up tomorrow

Lucky, I'm still waiting for mine. It should've been here on Monday and now it's wednesday. I hope it's here tomorrow =/

Sorry to hear that
Sorry to hear that, well mine on first inspection appears to have everything needed including those gold bits on the back of the faceplate

Done mine now only problem is that there's no vibrate

I've fired off a quick email to the seller maybe that can shed some light on the problem (fingers crossed)
I have fitted the case I received (very fast postage may I add! =]) however the vibrate feature of the phone no longer works... I have checked the phone many times and have discovered that leaving the case partially open resolves the problem however unpractical that solution may be xD
I notice that you have allot of good feedback for this product from customers within the UK so I can only assume that the housing I received must be defective in some way.
I look forward to your reply,

I looked every where including ebay and amazon. all the housings have mic holes on the right my mytouch first gen 3g by tmobile has it on the left. wth. I found some OEM faceplates with "tmobile" brand and mytouch logo they have the microphones on the right also. can I just drill a small hole on the left? or is the housing itself incompatible?
heres the one I am about t order help please http://cgi.ebay.com/Housing-Cover-T...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414dadb371
