I'm currently looking to perform several repairs on my well-beaten HD2, and I was wondering if anyone knew if I can get any replacement housing?
I know there are standard replacements, but I saw this picture (below) and wanted to know if it's possible to get these parts.

I cant see any image or link but i presume you are looking for the housing.There are many HD2 replacement parts on the net.But the safest is ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Replaceme...rts_Tools&_ipg=200&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1514
Or if you are only interested in the housing:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Back-Case...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3a67e596bf
Replacing the housing is pretty easy so its better if you order one and install it yourself.However, If you want to replace the LCD,digitiser or the flash, its a real pain to get to the components,so you might want to send it to a local smartphone repair store for repair.Hope that your HD2 will be back in full glory.Gd Luck
Thank you for your reply but i was looking for a white housing in particular.
I think the picture has gone down.

well,i dont think theres any retail white housing.The pic should be a customised one from a user,using enamel or primer and paint. But if the pic u found is the retail version,i would love to know!.or if you really fancy a white housing(without all that painting hassle),u can do a makeshift one like this guy:http://www.brendacarescorner.com/2011/06/hd2-white-skin-and-looking-good/...just paste the skin over your housing!.
I appreciate your help but i couldn't find it anywhere. I suspect some photoshoppery may have been involved. it looked like a standard HTC case with all the branding, etc. I'll try get the picture back up when I'm on my computer.

Edit; from my notebook, the image shows up fine, maybe it's a bad host, but here's the image again - just for good measure.

Well,its definitely not real. Its either a render from a CAD program like Solidworks(I used it to do render a white Evo4G myself! or its Photoshopped. The image just looks slightly pixelated and a bit too 'digital'...But if someone manages to make an actual white HD2...im definitely up for it! Actually,if you have the money,it is possible.You just need a blow molding machine, a mold of the housing(made by CNC machining) and use a white thermoplastic/thermoset material.If you have someone working in this industry,you can try your luck!
cheers!
If you look closely, it's pretty easy to tell that someone has just done an inversed (negative) version of the standard press shot and then pasted the screen back on top. There's no white shell unless you homebrew one.

The glass screen on my desire hd isnt flat abd the right hand centre edge is slightly raised and half a milimetre raised, its noticable if i run my thumb across the right side i can feel the glass edge, but not when i rub it over the left side which is fit perfect.
Could you guys check yours and see if you have something similar
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I don't have mine yet (tomorrow I will), but this is a no brainer. Send it back to HTC and your store and get a new one.
It shouldn't be this way and if it really is the higherst point the change of dammage (it can come from repeatingly getiing it in and out your pouch even). is high.
Sad to hear it isn't so good.
EDIT: it isn't a problem if you feel the metal. That's good. But the screen should never be higher then the rest of the frame.
in a earlier thread i raised this, i have since found out that it might not be a design issue.
A years manufactures warranty exists on the phone... so to some extent ill be ok if the screen becomes worse.
if you want to send it back, make sure you read the warranty carefully though as they may also be something to catch you out. make sure you don't have custom firmware as it potentially can void the warranty
If we can get other desire hd users to confirm how their phones are it would be great, im over the moon with this phone. I could probably live with it, but its brand new and thats how it was out the box, could other xda users please inspect their dhds closely please?

There are sooo many threads open regarding this issue.
It seems like the screen in intentionally lower than the case to protect the screen from scratching when you face the phone down.
However, the screen should be equal for both sides but yours seems unequal so it might be faulty
This is what the issue is, see in the picture, anyone got anything like this at all?

Okay I think yours is faulty for sure...I haven't seen anyone reported that at all. The screen should definitely be lower than the case.

Definately not normal mox123. I have had 3 DHD in total now and can say that none of the screens were raised like this. I have come to the conclusion, however, that the build quality of each handset varies alot!
Im gonna call the network on monday and get this sorted out, overall handset is perfect apart from this minor flaw

Looks to me like the green is a little off... are you using the color PMS 376C aka #A4C639?

Correct about the green being off or correct about you using those colors?
BTW I would definitely get some of these... if I wasn't broke. They design looks great though! Just need the right green and they'll be perfect!
I'd order one. If it's not too pricey.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i'd get some too
EDIT: BTW, I think themeing some after sports teams would get you a bigger market. I'd buy a Dodger Blue one with the LA in the middle without a doubt.

OP i have a suggestion. ive been thinking of having a custom made android sticker myself. can you come up with an Android sticker looking like the pedo bear sticker? i think it would look cool and funny. i definitely will buy a couple.
Id take some for my hardhat and welding hood. Piss all my buddies off who are Iphone babies.
As long as the stickers come off clean without requiring Goo Gone... I'd take a few
i would be intrested also in a few depending on price
edit: apparently someone already beat you to it

They look nice!

Sure Ill take on too. Screw Apple.
How much are these and how big?
How much?
PM me if that's better for you.
I got a few ideas to run by you too.

Hi, I could not ignored your cover. I just got my Desire Z yesterday and it already got a tiny scrach on it... i bought a cover before i got the device but when i installed it the screen didn't "locked" and when i tried to remove it its almost broke the phone... BTW i like how the rubberized plastic feels. (it started to twist the metal frame..) I will be happy if you could tell me what are u using.
and other general tips (maybe its not the place i don't know...) (BTW i use a chip screen protector i hope its not a problem).
thanking you in advance,
Oded
Lol, nice one dude
I am not the brightest of the lot and I must admit I only got it after visiting the thread like 4 times over a 2 day period.
I think it would even look cooler if you signed off the letters as A.N Droid
LOL You should post one picture of the droids every day. I would love that!

I'm using a vinyl sticker from Skinit.com and your general run-of-the-mill snap-on clear case from eBay, although I'm on my second one right now. If the thing doesn't fit on perfectly, stress cracks start developing around the tabs that fit on the phone.
I'm contemplating switching over to a translucent silicone case, but the checkerboard pattern is kinda ugly.
Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance
that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?
two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

Hello Guys!
I bought a Desire HD in December 2010 as my first Android Phone and also my first Smartphone. I was very happy with it and i fell in love with Android.
Sometime later after i checked out neary all Apps on the Android Market I got bored and decided to root my DHD. After The successful rooting the whole World of Android was open. I landed immidiatly here at XDA where all the cool magic happens. I flashed always buggyer things and got a fashmatic (you know what I mean). I have to say a big thanks to all devs of the Desire HD Forum who worked hard and still do for bringing us the best and the newest roms.
Also the flashing and stuff was normal I saw a thred with the chromed DHD. I was amazed and after a few month i did it but only with the frame. It was really nice and meany friends asked me if I had a new phone
Then after a few weeks i talked with a frend whose father could make a powder coating and I panted it in Orange. And now finally thats the result and i think its really nice
Now I have to share with you a few picture of the mod. All is working exept the Volume button i have to grind there the case a bit that he fitts.
enjoy

Looks cool man. That's a nice shade of orange. Nice work!
Why didn't you paint over the black plastic covers too? Also what kind of paint did you use and how did you do it?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Wow, that looks great. Cool idea you had
Paint and sell the parts for other people - I would buy it
That's excellent work there
I take it you took the phone apart to just get the aluminium case done?
