Hi all, I have broken the plastic part off the stylus...again :roll:
Anyone know if there is a solid stylus available instead of the poorly designed stylus supplied. Yes I know it is because they had to make it black to match the case, but I would have rather had a silver coloured stylus that lasted.
Why they didn't make a completely solid stylus I don't know; other than to generate sales of stylus pens, but they wouldn't do that would they? :shock:
I've even thought about manufacturing some to sell. Would anyone buy such a thing? :?:
funny you mention it, i had to do stylus repairs last night,
the black bit has started to come out of ppc without the rest of the stylus attached,
Tools used for repair : part of a rizla.
I teared enough rizla off to do one lap around the stylus, after licking the gum of course, then banged the black bit back in, now i cant seperate them so i think ive done enough for it to last a while longer now
Maybe you can try one of the replacement styli. The one with a ballpen on one end which translates to THE BALCK PART REALLY IS REMOVABLE so you cannot really BREAK it and not put it back. It's a ballpen cap

I'm using that pen/stylus now and another advantage (as was noted on another post in here somewhere) is that the pen/stylus is much more secure in the device than the original stylus. I never had the original one fall out like some have metioned, but now there's not rattle either.
I don't know it the loose fitting stylus was unique to a particular branding, but I have the i-mate Jasjar.
where do you get one of these stylus pens please?
I dunno if this is what kelfor has but you can check www.ppctechs.com or www.expansys.com or any other PDA online shops.
hi all just a follow-up to this post I purchased some styli from expansys, the package was damaged and looked old, or at least poorly stored, 2 came broken the other was fine, I also bought some finger styli for my father - dads and gadgets eh! anyway 2 were missing and again the box looked old and tatty. I reported this and instead of sending me replacements they gave me a refund, they didn't seem at all bothered about it, so I took my business to eBay. I won't be buying from expansys in a hurry.
eBay on the other was excellent bought it from china and was delivered faster than expansys; top service.
PS: stylus and exec are doing fine and I'm really impressed with the xda exec update from O2, it works better than when I had the corp install running.
I purchased one of the ones with a ball-point pen in it, and it was such a bad fit that i had to use a pair of needle-nosed pliers and a lot of force to get it out again!

I lost one the other day somewhere around my local Tesco's!... Perhaps thats why they ship with a spare :evil:
The only one I've broken so far is the stylus-tip off of a $10 ballpoint one. The ballpoint and top's fine, but I can't use it *as* a stylus anymore. Dropped it onto tile floor in the line at the local supermarket... Oops. Meanwhile, the glue holding the black top bit in my original stylus has come loose, but it's still a tight wenough fit that the stylus works properly. Since I have an MDA Pro, I'd prefer a silver coloured tip anyway.
ther is an all metal 1 floating about, its a nice black 1, cant mind wer i seen it though, but ther is 1 out ther!
Hi I have a Cingular 8525 and as usual due to my clumsiness I have drop it twice on the cement. Everything's working fine but being a person with a mild case of obsessive compulsive behavior I am buggin......
Also if you guys are looking for a case for your Hermes you should try to avoid this style. My 8525 was securely in this case and the phone 'flew' out of it when it was knocked on the front side of the case. The phone flew out knocking the battery boor, battery, and the sim right out of the phone. Not good! Also, the case uses a magnet for the flap closure so it goes without saying it is sending my phone into periodic landscape mode whenever I remove the phone from the case.
I have tried ebay for a replacement case and unlike all my other phone nothing is available and I mean nothing. Not even one cheesy knock off is on there for this phone.
Has anyone here looked into getting an OEM housing for the 8525?
Personally I would prefer to keep the phone in a 8525 case versus changing it out for other verients.
Sorry for the long post.....I'm sick in bed with a 103 fever so I figure that I would bug u guys
Thanks.

Looking for same for TyTN
I need a tytn oem case as well. I dropped and scratched mine. Irony of it is, I've had it for two months, purchased invisible skin two days before I dropped it - idn't get a chance to put it on before i dropped it!
Oh and mine was in a metal case. It rell out of that! So nothing's safe. Gotta put on invi skin!
try this
checkout this site. it has pretty much everything that is available.

Did you happen to adjust the hinge(simply by bending it inward slightly) before placing your Hermes inside. I have an aluminum case, and I've test dropped it, and nothing happened.
***Please not from the factory, the hinge merely "clips" over/on the other side of the aluminum housing. If you want to make it more stable you have to slightly bend the "lip" that connects to the lower portion of the housing. YMMV. I had to readjust mine once as the first time I had it way too tight, and it was very hard to get my Hermes out of the case. Now it simply closes with an authoritative click, and I know my Hermes is secure.
Anybody find a place to get the housing for an 8525 yet? There is a large (its not that large, but its visible enough to be annoying) gash on the metal bezel running along 3 of the 4 sides of the display of my 8525
im new to the forums, but my 8525 got knocked out of my hand and got pretty messed up. my "t" key has also started to lift off of the pad. i wanted to know if this has happened to anybody and if there is any replacement keyboards for sale also. can i swithc over to the tytn with the proper front keyboard? any help would be amazing.
i just bought a dummy 8525 off of ebay, Im not sure how they are made, but I am going to see if I can switch the housing
please let me know how it works, i was thinking of doing the same thing...

The dummy thing did not work, it isnt an actual housing, only the front buttons work, the rest are fake and do not move, there isnt even a real battery cover, its one piece. That was a waste of $10.99
still really desperate to get a new housing, anyone know where one is available?

Well let me add that I am not the seller. so don't ask me any questions, but this is a seller I have bought housing for my imate jam before...
hrm, sorry about bring up an old thread, but I thought it would be easier than starting a whole new one.
I'm purchasing a used dopod 838 pro sometime this week, and was looking to get a replacement housing for it as it is fairly abused. Would something like the above posted (HTC 8525 case) work well? I notice that, that case doesnt have a powerbutton on the front of the case, will this cause a problem when I go to replace the housing?

There you go guys.. I dropped my phone before christmas, and broke the latch that holds the battery door on, and I had to use some tape for awhile. I must have ordered one of the last Cingular 8525 cases, since all they have is the HTC Hermes black cases with the front camera hole.
That shouldnt be too big of deal to you guys though looking for new cases. It took about a week and a half to get here (FL, USA) from Hong Kong at Christmas time. Very good site..

I use a case with magnetic closure..............I put the device into the case with the screen facing away from the magnet and I have never had any issue with it.

55 bucks and your back in business
I am having the same problem sourcing the correct housing for my phone. I am from the UK and have searched high and low to find a housing for the UK equivalent the SPV M3100 (HERM100 - so the label says).
I have checked all the sites mentioned above, at cnn.cn they dont have the correct housing as the front buttons are different? and the cingular housing is 1: not a nice colour! and 2:L i dont know if this includes the mid plate as well.
Does anyone know where i can get hold of the correct housing(not silver) i dont mind the branding.
are there any docks out there that fit the fuze when it has the seidio innocase on?
I was wondering the exact same thing!!!
doesnt look like anybody knows.
I will be interested too. I had a hard time finding out about a pouch that would fit the phone w/ the Innocase. Probably because not too many are using it.
Best regards.
This dock from sedio says it should fit it with the case on.
I'm curious about the fit on this dock, i am mainly interested because it has a slot for an extra battery and was wodering if anyone has any experience with the seidio case and this dock. If anyone has the case and this dock also, I would like their opinion on it also.
I just ordered a couple of very inexpensive docks w/ battery charger from a website and I will post as soon as I get them.
Best regards.
thanks, keep us updated. i know the seidio one works with it but i want one that has a battery charger built in.
I know from personal experience that this one will NOT work with the Seido Innocase installed:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02926&dept_id=039&cat_id=0951
They have 2 other similar ones that I expect won't work either since they are based on the same design.

Could you not take out the adapter in the middle for it? Or is the area around where the phone touches the dock just one whole piece?
Colleagues,
Finally... The 2 cradles I ordered finally arrived. So... does the phone with the Seidio snap on case fit on it? Not right out of the box, but... if you are creative you can use pliers to kind of push the connector on the cradle a little bit forward and it works perfectly. This cradle has the slot for charging a battery as well as a USB cable. It only costs $19.99 with free shipping (no, I don't know the vendor).
Here is the link:

Best regards.
thanks man... im gonna get it.
Kursell orbit flex case fits with Dock
Well I just got my kursell orbit flex case and I also have a docking station for my touch pro and it fits on the up right doc while in the leather case I have posted a review of the kursell case on this forum look for it but here is a link to the case http://www.cases.com/kr75388.htm

The part of the cover where the phone sits is all one piece with the mini-usb connector sticking up in the middle. The opening is molded to the shape of a naked touch pro.
I could probably take a dremel tool to it but it would look pretty bad since the whole dock is shiny black.
Yeah, got burned on ebay with some cheap a** styli, and now Im looking where to buy the original ones that come with the phone... any ideas?
I bought mine from MSG Digital:
http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=46813
Note, these are the HTC stylus for the HTC Touch Pro, not the Fuze, so they come with the matte black tip instead of the glossy black. But they are exactly the same, unscrew with the magnetic weight inside.

Do they fit perfectly on the Fuze, as the original did? I dont care about the color but I do care about the fitting.... I want them to look just like the originals one that my Fuze had.
Yes, the are exactly the same. The reason for the difference is the Fuze's back is the glossy one, while the original HTC Touch Pro has a rubber like backing, so these styluses are a matte black to match the rubber backing. Otherwise, they are the exact same weight/look.
Edit: posted some pictures. The last shows how its a different finish, but fits perfectly in the phone. (Phone has invisishield applied, so it has some dust/lint)
I use this site. http://cnn.cn/shop/

Hello,
sorry for my stupid question, but does somebody know, where can I buy back black battery cover for HTC P4350?
On eBay and other servers I can only find blue covers for T-Mobile Wing
Thank you very much!
I am not sure how different your battery cover is to the wing in how it attaches but I can tell you the Wing/Atlas covers on eBay, etc... do come in black and fit very well. Again, not sure how your back cover compares to camera placement on the wing but that could be an option.
Thank you
So another question:
Does somebody know, if Wing/P4351 backdoor cover fits on HTC P4350?
They don't
I originally had a 4350. The back on it is both shaped and attaches differently than that of the Wing. I don't know why they changed it on the wing, and the back on the wing is held on by four of the tiniest little tabs you can imagine, and they break easily. If you ever insert the stylus at an angle, expect to break off the tab in that corner. Terrible design. The 4350s back cover covers only the battery area, and locks in place with a sliding switch. Never a problem with that one.
Ah, thank you very much dude. I was almost ordering Wing back door cover, now I know, that it won't fit. Thanks
