Broken Antenna Cover - MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories

Hi I have broken and lost the black antenna cover on my XDA, any help in sourcing one would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I had the same thing happen to me.
The best solution is to buy a dummy (display) phone from Ebay or a cell phone store, and use that to replace the black antenna.
Good luck!

Replacement Cover

Hi there* I have a T-Mobile PDA with a broken cover and wonder if anybody knows an adress in US or UK where I can buy a new one.*
It would be really great if you could help me out with this* THANKS* :lol:
if its still under warranty, contact t-mobile,
if they wont replace it for free, im sure its less than $70
(because thats how much they said they'll bill me, if my replacement turned out to have a cracked case )
i also heard you can use the "DUMMY PHONE" case, ebay $5-20
but that is made from cheap plastic.

thank you for help. An other question, can I buy the Jogdial seperatly?
thank you again for help
well Google might help with that, all I know is that it is soldered onto the Motherboard and even if you can buy a new one, you will have to use a surface board soldering iron to install it.
Ok, thanks. I used google, but only for the jog-wheel, not for a motherboard.
Thank you again. can be close!

[Q] Lost cover for USB port - need replacement - where to buy?

Hi there,
the cover for the USB port of my HTC Dream /T-Mobile G1 became loose. The little plastic cable that holds it to the phone ripped but I still had it - I planned to glue the cover back to that plastic cable thing.
Unfortunately I lost that cover now. I was searching the web (including ebay) for replacement but even if I bought a complete housing they'd come without that little plastic cable holding the USB cover.
Does anybody know where to get replacement? By the way I would like to know where to get good (high quality) tools for opening the housing without breaking it.
I appreciate your help.
You would probably have to buy a broken phone and hope that the cover is still intact. While I managed to maintain that cover on mine, I did find it highly frustrating. Many people actually PREFERRED to rip it off. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to replace it, since that cover really is quite redundant. You won't hurt anything by not having it.
Yes, you're right somehow, it is redundant. It looks a little ugly, though. Maybe someone can still point a way to that cover

Thank's for the ebay link. I am already bidding on some broken phones on ebay.de. though. I though was hoping to find that cover as a sparepart somewhere.

[Q] GPS hardware gone bad on HD2

Hi all,
My HD2 running HyperDroid v12 from Pongster is a dream phone. Everything is working excellent except recently I got the digitizer changed from a local shop here in LA and in the process of fixing the digitizer the idiot seems to have ruined my GPS related hardware (which obviously he is not owning up to). I tried all sorts of software remedies (including changing ROMS) but nothing seems to get a GPS lock.
My questions is -
Is there any way to buy and replace the GPS receiver in the phone?
Thanks
The guy might have accidentally removed the connection from the circuit board, I remember seeing threads from before of other's doing the same thing when fixing the digitizer.

Thanks Moon
Any recommendations on what tools to buy to open my HD2? Any schematics on what the gps antenna would look like? Coudnt find similar threads for HD2...
Here's links to official disassembly & assembly videos:

They tell you what you need, and instead of the "flat plastic stick", a guitar pick should be fine.
- No need to remove speaker from housing.
- Ignore everything from 1:47, and look at 3:22 from the disassembly video, instead of removing the gps coaxial cable, check if it's actually connected properly, if not, just push it in.
_______________________________________________________________
I'll try and find those threads I remember reading, in which the OP and other members had the same problem after replacement of digitizer.

Hi Moon,
I followed the steps in the videos you provided and opened my HD2. The GPS coaxial cable seems to be fit in snug, which I guess is indicative that the GPS antenna itself may have gone bad somehow. Possible?
I did a little searching and found this link where I can buy an antenna from -
http://www.gsm4world.us/oem-htc-hd2-t8585-gps-antenna-board-flex-ribbon-cable-d-03752_579.html
That said, I am not too comfortable trying to replace it by myself. Any chance anybody knows a person/shop in the LA area who may have expertise in such jobs? The one I found in Glendale (CellularDR) is the reason this has happened so I'm not too keen on re-visiting them.
Thanks again for all the help!
Can't you get a separate external GPS receiver and bluetooth it?
It kinda beats the purpose of havnig a all in one device, plus you need to always watch 2 batteries and not just one . But, I must say it is the safe option and worth considering.

New back housing w/antennas
I had to replace the back housing on my phone as it broke (it looked like the plastic had deteriorated), and the new one comes with all 3 antenna attached, and a new battery cover for less than US 20.00. I have better reception now on all 3 radios, and the phone looks new again. If your have to take it apart anyway, why not replace the whole back? I got it from these people, eBay item 350487086071, but there are tons out there, and it was dead simple. Unscrewed the four screws, used the plastic piece to pop the snaps, and that was it.
YMMV, but for only 20, you can rule out the antennas if nothing else.
