I pulled my phone out of my case yesterday and it felt kinda weird to me. Took a look at the back and the battery cover was missing. Turns out I lost it at a bar the night before. A friend saw it on the ground there, but didn't realize what it was until I was asking if anyone saw it the next day.
I called the bar. They said no one turned it in and odds are it got swept up and tossed.
I called the store I bought it from. They said they can't order that piece.
I called Cingular. They say its an accessory, so its not under warranty and they dont sell them anyway.
I tried calling HTC Texas earlier, but no one answered.
Right now I have electrical tape holding the battery on. Please, please, please somebode help me.
The only thing I can think of is if you can get one from those dummy units for sale on ebay?
I think the dummy phones are all one piece. If not, I may just have to head into a cingular store and end up with the cover in my pocket somehow.

I certainly hope that "somehow" means that you negotiate one from a store manager...

yeah.....thats the ticket. If "negotiate" means punch and steal.
Just a thought...
I would think that suggestions of committing crimes - even joking around - just don't belong here...
by "punch and steal" I meant "hug and kiss".

Thanks Xenos. My battery cover is on its last prong so as soon as I saw there was a place to call to order this part, I was on it. Once again, thanks.
would they sell to europe?
Due to my dual sim adapter my cover has a bulge now. Id like to try to modify it, but not until i have a spare cover (just in case!)

Just spoke with the people and they said they would.
I contacted HTC Europe (via www.htceurope.com contact form).
They sell the cover as well: GBP 10 incl shipping/handling to The Netherlands. You can pay by creditcard.
Just ordered one, waiting for payment details.
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.

Hey guys...
today somehow.. i dont know how.. my camera cover broke...
I am from Germany.. does anybody of u guys know where to buy a spare part ..? I once read that its not even neccessary to open the device .. it would b possible just to press it in the free gap.. the new glass.. after fiddling the broken glassparts out..
could anybody of u guys help me ? Need to buy a new one or get it repaird or do it on my own or whatever.. as cheap as possible.. any experiences?
Not sure, but I guess this is your same issue :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686990
Just order from here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130469800249
use pincet and peel off the broken glass, remove everything and just replace it with that. Thats what i did and its still fine today, no need for extra glue since there is enough glue there to glue a new piece of glass. God lock it took only about 1-2 minutes to change it
same issue, thats true.. but no information of a seller in europe.. from ebay or such you know=)

its glass and yes yes and yes, scratchproof i dont know becouse i dont want to sratch it its clean on my phone, been using it for about 4 months its easy
Even before this, i have made a thread where i confirmed this bend problem, but now ill make this, as we got more official proof.
Xperia Z5 Premium has a serious bending issue, it bends like ... I dont even know! It can EASILY BEND IN YOUR DANG POCKETS! So watch out, carry it in a bag or something? Hhhmmm i dont, but it sounds better than carrying the bending thing in our pockets. But im still after this carrying it in my front pocket, because i dont do anything, jump or run or anything with it in the pocket.
>>>> https://youtu.be/gVPa8sNY1Xw <<<< (Might be painful to watch)
IT WON'T BEND BADLY IF YOU DONT RUN, JUMP OR DO ANYTHING WHAT MAKES IT UNDER ANY PRESSURE! ( the problem here seems to be that you really dont need alot of pressure to bend it!!! ). Ive been seeing that climbing stairs is too much for the phone, it can bend from even that. (mine did, slightly bended). Mine is also silghtly bended from the middle. (the other way, its bending in to the shape of a pipe)
As we are mostly happy owners of this device, we need to work together to find solutions!! As i dont have a case, i have no idea will it stop the bending.
>Case owners comment below for their experience!<
>All case owners reply and comment their case and opinion and whatever you want<
>THIS THREAD WAS MADE TO INFORMATE PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT TO BUY THE DEVICE AND OFC THE OWNERS OF THIS DEVICE. IN THE ANSWERS WE ARE TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM! NOT TO MAKE NO ONE BUY IT!<

I took my Z5 premium for 4 2-3 days snowboard trips and it's in my arm pocket of snowboard jacket, I took alot of falls and rolls and phone is fine... If someone bends the phone on purpose for sure it will bend... Which phone will not bend if you bend it with force??? I was using a clear case and it looks horrible with scratches and finger prints so I took it out from the case. Come on guys if you are afraid of scratching damaging it, only solution is DO NOT USE...

You've got to have quite a ham for a head to bend your phone
I'm using one of those devilcase's since the very beginning (actually, I ordered the case way before I ordered the phone) and I'm very happy with it. It fits like a second skin on the phone (a second skin, just a few mm thick aluminium) and it makes pretty sure nothing will happen to the phone (for front and back I use hardened glass protection)
I would recommend it everybody, though I bought it just for the looks
lol

Naaa but thx xd
This is beyond ridiculous lol. If you bend a phone hard enough, yes they will bend. Some will bend more than others. But I highly doubt you're going to put it in your front pocket sit down and get up to a bent phone. If so you might need to lay off the skinny jeans. Even in the video the guy looked like he was struggling to bend it. I'd say this is a non-issue.
Big yawn. Oh my gd, I bent my phone and now it's bent.
The majority of the people that bought this device is probably extremely rich and will probably get a new one just like that. I was lucky enough to get it for $470 and will probably cry if it broke or bent.

Maybe haha, in my country the device costs 2 salaries of work .. but i make the difference if i buy it in usa where there costs 1 salary for me, in fact really its expensive but if someone can save money, no doubt, can buy it
Buying tempered glass protector front and back, without trying to bend it then you are safe, that's the idea..

Wow, that's insane. A phone that costs one salary at best. You're right, if you save money for a purchase I guess everyone can afford, but I would never spend that budget of my salary on a phone. I guess it's up to your interest in that category to spend that budget. If you like the device, it becomes an investment, so there's nothing wrong in it.
SO I have been going without a case for months. Then one of my women is like your going to crack your screen not having a case
Anyways 10 mins later I drop my phone on its back. The backglass is shattered.
Can i easily replace this myself or should I replace the whole phone. I do have insurance

Replacement part is about $30. Not too hard to replace with some finesse, I swapped one out on a s6 edge, last summer.

I dunno dude, would totally depend on the adhesive used. You could always just sell it as is for repair/ blacklisted and get a replacement.

The thing that worried me, is that the replacement will not be waterproof as well because would if the replacement had the same problem and when it was fixed no proper adhesive used

Give Samsung a call and see if you have them replace it, what it would do to your IP68 rating. If they say that there will be no changes then I would ask how much they would charge.

Get one with proper adhesives all around and make sure the adhesives are waterproof. I do this for a living, its like a 30 second repair, as long as its a good adhesive or you dont mind putting a thin layer of glue on the edges before you clamp it down to keep it waterproof.

That's pretty good - it's $270 if you crack the front . I know three other people who own the S7e, and we have all cracked our phones either on the front or the back. It's not very durable, unfortunately. Having a case is a definite yes for this phone.
