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

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.

New OEM ruberised back for Fuze/touch pro for sale

Well I finally received mine and it turns out that I don't like it. Nothing wrong with it just spoiled by my IS cover. I will sell mine ( just arrived today) for what I have into it so the first $29 + shipping gets it. Payment is through paypal but I will only ship to a paypal CONFIRMED adress. PM if interested.

Maybe a picture to help understanding what we are looking at here?

Here, these are not mine but you get the point.

where did you get the new covers from?

thats really cool. where did you get it?? i dont always wanna use the nice looking back. ie when im at school or work...

RebelShadow probably got it from Expansys like the rest of us. I also contemplate selling mine as I already have the Seidio case + the OEM 1800 battery that came with a different back. (not meaning to hJ the thread).

mine took nearly 2 months to get to me from Expansys so if you are looking to pick one of these up im sure this will be much much faster.

I'm am selling just the one cover and not many. I ordered it from Expansys almost 2 months ago and just received it but as I said I like the feel of my IS cover better. If someone wants the cover but does not want to wait the couple of months to receive it from Expansys here's your chance.

Thanks your look y'all but the cover is sold!

Rebel,
Hope you don't mind me tagging on your thread now yours is sold, I don't want to start another thread.
I am selling mine (new) if someone is interested, please PM me. I bought this from Expansys around the time I bought the OEM 1800 cell + Seidio case, so I really don't have a need to use this rubberized back between alternating with the Seidio and extended cell that comes with its own back.

How much you selling it for sclui56?

Got my new Note today! AWESOME!!!!

Ok guys, after having an HD2 for almost 2 years on T-mobile US, i received my Note today from Handtec UK through FedEx. I got it in 18 hours from when they shipped it! All in all, these folks are excellent. As other people have said, the box's seal was broken from the top side, where there is a sticker that says "do not accept if seal is broken". Obvisouly, this was done for custom reasons, but the phone itself is immaculate. The sticker lamination on the front & back have not been tempered with, also the battery & accessories came sealed & everything. I'm so excited, I haven't even opened the cover & popped the battery in as of yet lol. But initial feelings: awesome build, not out of reach big at all, excellent ergonomics, light weight. My Hd2 looks like a baby in front of it. I haven't even fired up the screen yet, it'll blow the HD2's pale & dull LCD screen out of the water, i'm sure. More updates to come.

18hrs after shipped? Someone was in a hurry..
Enjoy your new GNote and keep us posted. User feedback is very valuable.

Hey op, your on T-Mobile?? Tell me how the speeds are with it. Also, does your T-Mobile sim card fit? I'm on T-Mobile also, and I don't want to switch carriers to ATT over a phone.

How were customs fees? That is what I am most concerned about...
If you dont mind, could you give me the bottom line of what you paid?
I am pricing this out against a GSII. Right now I have them at about equal over two years (higher data plan cost on GSII and the higher initial cost of the note equal out)

Is your back camera inner circle is centered with the outer circles ?

Where are you? Your profile doesn't say. This is critical for determining import tax/customs fees. If you're in the U.S., there aren't any. You buy the phone, they ship it to you, and that's it.

Total cost from Handtec right now is $710 USD shipped, after that the only fee will be the conversion rate to USD by your bank and their foreign transaction fee. Some banks like Capital One don't charge you this fee while most others charge around 3%.

Heading out to get my Note now. Bye bye Desire HD. Local set here comes with the flip cover. Update when I have had my play time with it.

No it is towards the right side of the circle. It is not centered with the outer circle. I believe this is part of their design (perhaps some technical reason too)

My Story & First Impressions

Hi there,
Probably hundreds of other threads similar to this one, however I would like to share my experience with the HTC One and also how I actually got my hands on one today!!! (Sunday 24th March)
Let's start with how I actually got my phone, which is the advice I'd like to give. Me and my mother decided to take a trip to Manchester as I hadn't bought her a mothers day present. We got to Manchester, and started having a look about when I found myself in the Phones4U shop in the Arndale Centre. (ground floor as there are multiple stores, near the Apple & Vodafone Store) I just happened to see the One, and I picked it up and immediately fell in love with it! I asked the sales guy if they had any in and he just replied 'Yes'. After speaking to his manager he said I could buy it Pay as You Go for £489! I was shocked as it is £529 from ALL retailers online and also, it isn't even shipping yet! Anyway, I ended up buying the phone and my Mum paid for her own present don't worry, I'll pay her when I trade my iPhone 5 in! :laugh: SEE THE ATTACHMENT
Anyway, as far as first impressions go, my iPhone 5 now feels FAT after using the HTC One. The only issue that I have had with it, is mine is getting incredibly warm. However right now it's on charge, and now is the only time I have noticed the heat so I'm putting it down to the first charge. It's been a while since I was on Android, so I'm glad to be back in the game.
Any advice on screen protects would be greatly appreciated, heard the actual HTC ones are a little expensive for what they are, anyway thanks!
Mike

Nice! Good to hear that they aren't as hard to come by as one would think. Maybe it bodes well for online outlets and may in fact have them in stock and were told to hold them for release until 25. At least I am hoping.
For screen protector. I took a plunge and backed these guys on kickstarter.

Do they even do these for the HTC One? It's not listed.
Also, how can they do a front and back for iPhone? The back of iPhone 5 is textured so not sure how they will stick!

Thanks for the replies. In regards to the Rhino Shield on the iPhone that someone mentioned, it would indeed stick to the back. The only thing that put me off buying my HTC One was the fact that I'd spent £25 at Carphone Warehouse UK getting a Zagg Screen Protector and having it fitted on both sides.

You really should remove that pic with your receipt in it. You need to be careful with what info you put on the internet.

Are they selling the One sim-free?
I will perhaps travel to London in a month so if the One is still not out here or too expensive I will buy it from UK,I can get -20% tax as I live outside Europe

My One is Sim-Free and 4G Ready in the UK. I was shocked because it's £529 online everywhere.

Ordered from tropical_mobile on eBay? Here's what you can expect inside

I placed a pre-order from tropical_mobile on eBay since I decided the H815 model was the best choice overall, for me. They offered two day shipping as well, so it was sort of a no brainer at that point. I paid a few pennies shy of $700, but they have since significantly dropped the price down to $630, so your patience will be rewarded if you decided to wait! As their listing states, it comes with some goodies, and I thought I may as well post a few pics of said goodies in case anyone was wondering.
There is no extra back piece included. Just thought I'd get that out of the way in case anyone was wondering. It only comes with the back that you ordered. In my case, that's the black leather - and I love it!
I'm a bit peeved that I could've saved $70 by waiting a few days, but I'm one impatient as hell sonofabitch, so I'll just deal with it haha.
Enjoy!

I ordered from the same place, mine is sitting in Memphis going to be here tomorrow. We shall see what I get.

Ordered mine sunday, received it this afternoon. What an awesome service. Red leather and it looks STUNNING in person. Im super happy. That seller is great.
I paid $646 for mine and very next day it was dropped to $629. No biggie at all cause a si said, the phone came faster than expected

I ordered from them as well. Mine had a tracking number issued but sat for 3 days saying label created. After emailing them it magically moved (could be coincidence) and is now on plane for delivery tomorrow. Ordered at $646 for non leather back and saw it dropped: no biggie as I signed for PayPal credit to finance over 6 months. If I don't like it, Swappa here it comes!

i did get a pretty generic gray adapter from them. Seems its the same most ebay phone sellers supply.

Why even include all that extra garbage? I will just throw all that extra trash away. They should have included an extra that is actually worth something, like an extra back cover or an extra battery.
I ordered a brown leather G4 from them last night by the way for $629. Already got a Fedex notification that it should be here tomorrow morning. Said something about Singapore. Crazy if it ships from there in a day and a half.

Go naked. The screen is curved a little so even if you set it face down, the screen won't be touching and won't get scratched.

I picked up one from them as well, red leather.
I paid $674 on Saturday, they sent me a tracking number on Monday, and the phone arrived this morning in good working order.
So far, I think this is an awesome phone, and although I could have saved a few bucks by not being impatient, it was worth the 674 to me at the time, so it's hard to say I got hosed.
Either way, great seller, hopefully I won't be using them for a long time!
