I read on a post here yesterday or the day before that a battery cover is one of the parts that t-mobile themselves can sell you through customer service. Not sure if it is correct or not but maybe give it a try and confirm if it is the case. I could use a spare.

I wanta white one for my black phone that would be awesome

Have you guys thought about calling htc the manufacture of the phone?

Try here myTouch Accessories.

Damn, 20 bucks seems like a lot, but this white door would look cool on a black phone: http://www.all4cellular.com/mytouch-3g-slide-door-white.html
I'll wait for cheap ones to hit ebay.

I was having issues with my battery door. I got a replacement phone from tmobile for a different reason. I had to use my old battery door on the new phone and it fits like it did when new. So it was the phone and not the door itself.

I read the same thing. However, when I called I had two reps tell me that they didn't sell them. They then referred me to HTC for the part, HTC told me they didn't have any due to the phone being so "new." I'm just planning on treating it nice, and waiting until they hit the net. They're not even on eBay yet.

No, you'll have 14 days to send in your old one or be charged full price.

Ok so I have no choice so I have to take a used refurbished phone that's messed up

When I was an Apple iPhone guy, I had a refurbished phone and it was better than a new phone. What makes you think the refurbished Evo will be "messed up"? In my experience refurbs get a better QA than new phones.

me refurb has been solid and not even screen is lifted at all

I gotten refurbished phones and everytime something is wrong usually the usb charging port Im scared of getting the new hardware and doing the root again and mess up the phone I have had my evo since launch day

not always, i received like 2 BB as a replacements till i call Asurion and complaint about how bad are both phones, then the rep apologize with me about this problems and the i received a brand new BB, that was mi own experience

I had a Hero replaced, they sent me a f**ked up one. Amazingly, I was pissed (who would have thought???). I told them to give me a new phone. They did without hesitation.

So how can I make them give me a new one instead of a refurbished one

You can't. You warranty states after 30 days from purchase, they will replace defects with a refurbished phone. There is nothing you can do about it. If your refurb has problems, take it back to sprint and they should give you another one.

Stop fretting about the refurbished phone. I have gotten many refurbished phones from the Sprint store and they've always looked brand new. If you get the refurb and there is a problem with it then let them know when you get it and they'll take care of you.

how can u tell the difference between a refurbished and new phone? do they send a refurbished phone without the temporary screen protector and no box etc? I need to get my evo replaced also, and I'd prefer getting a new phone since I am paying monthly for insurance, I feel its my right to get a new un-refurbished) phone if I want a new phone, even if i have to play phone-tag and send the refurbished phone they send me, back to them. I just would like to know how to tell if they are sending me a new one or refurbished. tia.

Refurbished ones usually don't come in a box like the new ones Idk about the evo cause I didn't get it yet but I agree with you if I'm paying insurance they should give a new one not a used one that didn't work right before

I just received a refurb last friday for my launch day EVO and it was not in full working order. The Home button would not illuminate and the menu light was faded. I was pissed. I'm receiving my 2nd refurb today and if its messed up I'll be requesting a new one. Most of the time in the past my refurbs have been on point. Only once did I receive 2 bad BB and demanded a new one and they sent me one.
As for as receiving the package DD, the EVO refurb came in a small general Sprint box that looks like one they send all refurbs in. All replacements either via Sprint or Ausrion will be refurbs. Remember if you are inside your 1 year warrenty which all EVO owners are Sprint will replace it, unless of course you smashed or lost it.
BTW my refurb was a HW 0003. Same as my launch day one. I'm really curious if the 0004 version has a better screen like some say.

Interesting. My launch day Evo is HW 002. I have had the screen replaced due to dust under the glass in the upper left corner, and the camera lens cover replaced because I cracked it. Otherwise, the phone works great!

If its a refurb, it will have a date sticker under the battery, and if you hit ##786#, The Refurbished Status will have a data under it. If its new, it will say Not available.

No. The phone you have now is NOT new, its used, therefore you wont get a new one back. You have 30 days to replace your phone with a new one, after that its considered used. And no, its not your "right" to get a new phone. If you get in a car accident, your car insurance company doesnt give you a new car. They fix the one you have with reproduction (refurbished) parts.
I just would like to know how to tell if they are sending me a new one or refurbished.

There is no way to tell until you get the phone.

Just got my refurbished evo hardware 003 the screen is different from 002 but it has serious screen separation and light leakage volume buttons are loose and so is kickstand is loose

where to sell hd2's?

other than ebay please, i have two nib refurbished hd2's, one nib new, and one i took apart to replace the screen and never taped it back in, i always use it for dev and testing. any idea's where i can sell these things other than an auction?
i wish xda had a for sale section!!!

Try over at androidcentral.com in the marketplace forum.

If You do not want to sell by auction you always can sell it as "buy it now" item with fixed price. eBay+PayPal are the simplest and the most secure way to sell anything, you're always secured from fraud and scams. Selling a thing through a forum section isn't as secure, correct me if I'm not right.

OK, I gotta ask why an AT&T user has HD2s that only run on TMO? Or are they international/telstra?
Anyway, Ebay is the safest for both buyer and seller. Just make sure that you ship only to a verified address.
I have traded in the marketplace forum here on XDA, but there have also been a number of scams there.

i have att and tmous i just have waaaay too many electronics floating around so i think it's time to start getting rid of them and i was hoping to not post 30 auctions on ebay, it takes forever. but i guess that's the best way to go. thank you guys.
i should probably update my profile

Wait, you have AT&T AND TMOUS? How many phones does one need?

you can do craigslist. it doesn't provide safety like amazon or what but a lot of people use it and you meet your buyer face to face. just bring a friend with you. I bought my HD2 off craigslist by trading at tmobile motorola cliq sometimes you find good deals like that from people who don't know better haha

[Q] Best place to sell the Vega for parts?

Hi all,
Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.
Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.
I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.
So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.
I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.
If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.
Thanks very much
Simon

Where do you plan on purchasing a replacement mate?
I've been desperately trying to get a hold of a new one for two weeks now!
Everywhere is out of stock. I've tried every Currys and PC World in the North East and online, they're all gone.
Any ideas?
I'd like to steer clear of eBay as nobody will guarantee a 100% scratch free screen.

Could try gumtree I got one two months old with receipt and case for 160 pound. Seen one go for 90 pound. They don't seem to sell very well second hand so even month old listings and they still have it forsale and drop the price.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, just thought I'd ask as you mentioned that you were going to get a new one.

Price of hd2?

So I was offered to buy a used HTC HD2. I have no idea how much it'll cost considering its condition. So can someone help me shed some light and give me an estimated price of phone? Everything is in tact and the only things I noticed on it was a couple of dings on the corners. Some help please?

Your location would help but for a used HD2 there would be no point paying any more than £100 I think.

I live in the California, United States

I would say around 75 to 115USD for a good working one, higher price being a very clean example.
A scruffy HD2 with dinks. poor battery cover, worn buttons & perhaps opened for repair but with unknown details on what done & by who is worth about 50USD tops if working ok.
I can buy EU HD2 in my location for about 100USD & that will be clean example unopened with original void tags & fully working with battery & original charger.

Hd2 is a diacontinued set, how can you buy it sealed??? No shopkeeper keeps it boxed for sale now, you will only get it in wron condition.

Void tag seals on handset screw-heads is what I am referring to.
New stock is still available, can be had in MBK if hunt around but would not go that route myself or pay the asking price ...

The phone is in this condition

100USD and probably a bit more if sold on eBay or Amazon with some international shipping destinations but all down to you as a buyer on what it worth to you.
Do bare in mind digitizers are very common failure point & mainboard cpu bga also is a weakness & that tends to get hammered worse under Android nand builds.

You could always try craigslist in your area to avoid shipping costs if you are comfortable with it
