Stylus

hello!
I'm looking for a new stylus for my Advantage.
the original one sucks (broke one on the early days) and I have some Proporta old one that looks like this:

Please notice that this isn't a problem with my Proporta Stylus, but with everyone since I've tested more than one. That's perhaps the reason that proporta changed its stylus for a new one.
So, I'm looking for a new one, if possible 3 in 1 (pen, stylus and reset). Also, thinner than mine.
Can you point me one?
I haven't found anything good enough.
I also own a P3600 and I love the stylus (thin and durable).
Thanks in advance

can you find DOPOD U1000 stylus, i think it's better...

hello,
i think is the same as ours... the top colour is different.. is not metal right?
thanks
deiota

I am using a stock stylus with a piece of tape holding the two pieces of it together I tried ordering the most decent looking 3 in 1 stylus that was clearly described as a replacement for htc advantage and dopod u1000....sadly when it arrived it was about 1 1/2 inches too long to fit in the advantage slot and even though it was metal it had a way cheaper feal than the stock one did. So im looking for a replacement factory stylus, I doubt any of the aftermarket ones would have as clean a fit as the original.

new stylus
hello.
just decided and bought 3 of this:
after receiving it I'll post a feedback.
best regards
Deiota

those look like the same 3-pack i purchased off ebay...they were pretty cheap build quality and they were too long to fit in the advantage stylus slide spot. But heres to hopeing that yours are different than the ones I tried. Please do let us know if they fit, and where you purchased them.

The one I bought is similiar to this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1x-3in1-Stylu...ryZ38983QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
is this equal to yours? did you buy from this seller? thanks in advance. if so, I cancel my order imediatlly. please answer..
deiota

Honestly, it looks like the same as what I got, but its very hard to tell from the picture. And i purchased mine from a totally different seller from china. Its likely that they are different from the ones I purchased...but that doesent mean they will fit....please keep us posted.

I stumbled across www.boxwave.com and they have quite a few accessorices for the x7501 including replacement stylus!

Arrived.
Hello!
I've bought mine over ebay, seller is maxpower-pc. Check the image:
Is similiar to Styra from Boxware. i dont know if its the same brand but is equal.
I must say that the stylus fits the advantage (I dont know if will be scratched, I'll tell you within a month or so...), but I'm very desapointed with it.
First, the seller took about a week to answer me, I had to call 3 times to Germany (found the number of MaxPower DE webstore), I live in Portugal, to ask them for the bank information so I make the bank transfer. The 3 stylus I bought cost 10,85 € with shipping costs!
After making the bank transfer, on 15/02 only yesterday the item arrived. ((
I've email them and the answer was pretty delayed...
I bought a lot of stuff over ebay, even China and USA stuff and I must say they can ship faster and the item arrives sooner than this.
When I open the envelope, I got pretty mad because I bought 3 Stylus and 2 of them were scratched (not one) and damaged... So, I only can use one, the other too are garbage.. ((
I don't know if boxware are equal to this but I regret the buying, since I had to wait too long, paid too much and had TOO much trouble for ONE stylus of bad quality.

as far as ordering from "hong Kong" sellers, I think I am done, I went through the same stylus issues as you. Didnt even send them back for a refund due to all the trouble ( I think thats what alot of these crap sellers rely on, you, the buyer not bothering to return items). Second item, replacement battery, I honestly tried to find the best looking quality replacement battery...it comes in the mail and instead of having a hard shell like outer case on the battery, it has a sticker as the cover...and it just doesent fit in the battery tray of the advantage, it also has a plastic pin instead of a metal pin for the battery. Thumbs down on crappy import parts! I am just about to spend about 80 bucks on an oem battery and oem stylus pack from www.expansys.com

Expansys ROCKS
just thought I would let everyone know, that BOTH packs of stylus I ordered from expansys exceeded my expectations. I got a 3 pack of the ORA 3 in 1: literally 3 times the build quality of the one pictured above, the detachable piece is very snug and doesent feel like it would ever wear out, or pull off in the advantage. The second pack I purcahsed looked like an OEM 3 pack, however they offered them in two choices, one with a black end cap, and one with a white end cap, I am not sure if they are actual OEM stylus's....but they appear to be EXACTLY as the original stylus, clear plastic 1 piece, exact fit. I also purchased a replacement battery to have as a spare. The battery is Perfect as well, nothing cheap in any of the builds. Keep in mind that these items are NOT CHEAP in price either, but after ordering stylus's and a replacement battery from ebay sellers and basically throwing them away (just total crap, battery and stylus off ebay) I was ready to fork over some cash to have decent replacement parts. Just my $.02

Custom made Stylus
I used to own an O2 Atom. It is now with my wife. Anyway, I personally make my own stylus to fit how I hold it. It doesn't have any moving parts and is made from wood. I experimented with hard wood, soft wood and I end up using bamboo instead. I sort of burn it with wax to make it more durable and have a hardwood like finish.
I'll try to make one for my Athena and see if I would have the same result. I'll try to have an aluminum one made. I think this easier to do because my father in law has the machine that can make it. However, the wooden stylus is a different story. It is hand crafted and usually takes me a day or 2 to make 1 and that is if I can find the time to make it. Anyway, if anyone's interested, I can post the results here as soon as I'm able.

Athena and handmade bamboo stylus. Hi-tech device with old school flare. That's great.

1 came across a cool generic stylus the other day (and since it was on sale at the time) 1 took a chance. 1 really like it for my Athena. It's called the picopen. Wouldn't work for a lot of folks. But it's very cool for me.

Its silver metal colored so doesnt blend into the ground when dropped. Plus, since it clips on to the outside of your case, you can always see whether you put it away or not.
One end, the magnetic female part, clips to a tiny Key ring while the other, male end, is magnetically attracted.

Broken Cover

Goodday XDA members and Wings Owners,
I have a Wings myself allthough i am verry disapointed in the worthless quality of the phone, no gps, ram issue, and bad cover. The other day when i slided out my keyboard there broke a piece of my cover just on the side of the screen. There are also bursts in this place next to the screen, i returned it for warranty but its 13 months old. So the phone company told me to mail HTC what takes ages before you get a response.
Annyway i want my cover fixt with or without warranty.
Does someone know this problem or HAS it?
A relpy would be nice thanks.

Your best bet is finding a replacement housing for the S730, which are on ebay for like $40.
I must say that my S730 still is in perfect shape, but I handle mine really careful.

yes i have the same problem ....where i can find on ebay????

if you search on ebay
s730 full housing
you will find some cover (pad, keyboard,slider,front,back and display) at 40~60 dollars from honk kong.
i'd like to get one dark grey (like the atmos or softbank) but i cannot assemble it

out of curiosity, once i purchase the housing cover from ebay, how is it that it is applied on the phone?
glue?, screws? .....something i could do? or look for a guy at the flea market?...........i am about to buy the covers.....but am kinda skeptical

Ive been wondering the same, i got two htc wings with broken cover..
How do you put it togheter? anyone knows?

so i ordered the cover for 40$ from hong kong (it includes some cheap plastic tools also, one that looks like a plastic popsicle stick with several bends, another weird small scredw driver).....the package arrived at my doorstep 6 days later, I went to the guy at the mall with a cart/booth full of phone **** but said he could do it for 30$ and would take an hour...............2 hours later i returned to him telling me that taking apart the keyboard and back cover would be too delicate for him and could mess it up....all in all, he replaced the front cover, keypad and gave me a screen (from an old S720).....the face of my phone is flawless (except for one miniscule piece of sawdust)......the battery cover is also flawless ......i only have one small scuff mark over by the camera button........other than that im also lovin HTC BLACK by DJ OUB !!!
I recently bought this phone on ebay for 105$ with a busted cover, 40$ for the faceplate, and 30$ for the service ........i'll keep this s730 for a while....tho i also have my eye on the s740....is that much different?

i like very much the s740, but it is so expansive
but it is totally different from the wings, more slim, more light, stylish black chassis, the sliding qwerty is opposit respect the wings, it has RAM 256MB!!
of course it is the perfect slidephone, but it is expansyve...

wow, $60 is quite profitable, if you can show me the picture of the ebay auction, I think I could get the same one for u at xda-developer special price
But anyway, accessories for Wings is quite hard to find here in HK, I have been looking for a plastic protective case for it but I could only find some in Taiwan... and out of stock eventually

here is a pic of the phone housing cover i bought on ebay to replace my busted faceplate.....shipped from hong kong, mind you, the guy who fixed my phone only used the FACEPLATE and battery cover....apparently the keyboard half of it is very delicate and has very small delicate parts....who knows, maybe he was scared to try it...

i also got my eyes on this metal one tho too (
) its gonna be like 25$ with shipping and all....any thoughts
here are other cases i saw up for bids....do u guys have any of these?:

the metal case is super!! but our wings are really fat... and with that case i'm afraid that it cannot enter in my slim jeans pockets!!!

What about the small speaker on the backside of the frontcover, was that included in the full housing package you bought on eBay? It seems impossible to move that speaker from one front cover to another due to the rubber with glue going apart when dismounting it from the cover.
Update: I can see the the service manual for the S710 (Vox) that HTC calls this part for "Receiver". Strangely they doesn't write a part no. in the service manual for that specific part. I would REALLY like to have the service manual for the S730, but I can't find it anywhere...

Screen Protectors

I picked up the screen protectors that are sold through Sprint. They were $14.99and there were three in the pack.
I wanted an anti-flare protector and I have to say I have not been disappointed. I am very pleased with them so far.
They can be purchased here

Nice...I want a Zagg screen protector but my local bb is sold out

My local BB didn't have any either... but they weren't sold out. The guy told me they hadn't gotten any in yet. I didn't find it on BB's website either.
Last week I sent a support ticket to Zagg via their website asking when it would be available. No answer yet. =/
Does anyone know if the Zagg for the Evo 4G was available in retail stores right when the phone launched? Or did it take a few weeks?

i'll be picking up an invisibleshield as soon as they're out. i'm not too worried about my screen getting scratched since i dedicate one of my pants pockets to it

Is the screen gorilla glass?

i don't think so, otherwise HTC would've specifically said so.

The HTC EVO Shift 4G LCD's compostion is not Corning's Gorilla Glass/CGG. Currently, the Motorola i1 and Samsung EPIC 4G are the only two wireless devices in the Sprint Nextel product line to use CGG. Head over to http: // www dot corninggorillaglass.com/ to learn more about the innovative technology of CGG and why over time I believe all wireless devices will be equipped in it.

Best buy does have them. I went to one today to get the zagg and a case. They at first said no to both. I said that's lame, you're usually right on top of that kind of stuff. I looked and found the zaggs but I needed to use the phone the rest of the day and putting it in and out of my pocket wouldn't be good because the sp needs to dry without any major disruptions to the process. I got the blue hard case with the rubber back at sprint and will get the zagg very soon.

Here's something interesting... Zagg just got back to me about the status of the invisibleSHIELD...
Hello,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are zealous about great gadgets! My name is Chris B. and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Thank you for your interest in the invisibleSHIELD! Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have an invisibleSHIELD for the HTC Evo Shift 4G. Currently there is no release schedule for this product. Please continue to check out website as new designs are released all the time.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or comments.
Thank you for choosing ZAGG! We appreciate your business.
All the best,

Rather odd considering I just found this:
www -dot- bestbuy -dot- com/site/ZAGG+-+InvisibleSHIELD+for+HTC+Shift/1807233.p?id=1218293490329&skuId=1807233
My previous BestBuy search failed since it doesn't say "Evo" in the product title/description. But it's definitely not a screen protector for the HTC Shift ultra-portable PC from 2008.
EDIT: Please excuse the missing hyperlink. Us n00bs can't be trusted.

I got this phone on the 6th and nobody had any anti-glare protectors, which i absolutely love on my phone. So i went to who sold them and searched out the best sized one. Came to the anti-glare Droid 2, just need to cut the volume cutout off and its a good fit. Just covering the screen, not the buttons.

They don't make or carry them eh?

paid for one on bb.com and picked it up in store since i knew nobody would know wtf it is. put it on, i either really suck at putting these on or they're insanely hard to get perfect.

I tried one over a year ago and it was such a pain that I decided to pay them to do it. Depending on the person, they can get it better than most other people can. I had them mess up one on my epic and they just pulled another one off the shelf and redid it. Not flawless but pretty damned good and much better than I could have done.

well i'll let it settle for a day or two and see if microbubbles and the liquidy look underneath the protector go away. if not i might just be taking this thing off, it's more trouble than it's worth and i bought it with a gift card anyway.

I've used Zagg and Skinomi. Skinomi hands down.

i was just about to ask how the Skinomi TechSkins are, amazon has them for 10 bucks (well for pre-order) and was thinking of giving them a try, i usually use the Zagg protectors but am willing to try something new

The TechSkin is about the same as far as application goes. Where they differ is the feel and resistance to dust.

I applied the Sprint anti-glare protector, and it looked horrible. I know some of them take a little time to git rid of air bubbles and stuff, but it looked bad and I accidentally messed one corner up when applying. So I put one of the regular protectors from the same pack on and it has been fine ever since.
I do wish it covered more of the glass, not just the part of the glass with the screen under it.

I bought some of those screen protectors from Sprint also. I'm pretty good with putting them on, so that wasn't a problem at all. But wow, I put the anti-glare screen protector on and it made the screen look horrible. It really takes the "crispiness" out of the screen. When I got home, I immediately took that one off and put one of the regular screen protectors on that came in the sprint screen shield package.

I put the anti-glare protector on pretty much as soon as I started playing with the phone. After reading your guys comments I decided to take it off.
Man what a difference!

Best Buy Screen Protector - Possible to get free FYI - Also Pricematch

Just got back home with my new ONE. While I was at Bestbuy, a guy was also getting an HTC ONE next to me. The girl checking him out said, "do you want a screen protector?" He said "how much" and she replied "Free!"
Anyways, I have no idea why she gave him a free screen protector, but when I was done with my transaction (After I paid and received my receipt) I asked the girl helping me if I also would be getting a free screen protector and she was like "oh yeah... hang on" then she grabbed a Zagg Invisible Shield HD ($25.99), rang it up, discounted it -$25.99 and then put the package and receipt in the bag while asking if I wanted her to install it.
Long story short, just act like you thought you were going to get a free screen protector and you might get one at the end... that is if you ask about it, or say you "heard"
Also, I have an upgrade available but opted to buy the phone outright as I need to get an S4 too. So I asked if they can price match sprints non-contract price of $549... she said no prob, how much? And I told her $549.... she didn't verify anything, just called a manager to come and override the computer, and that was it!
Time to play with the phone now!

got mine free as well when i bought at bestbuy

Yes, BB is offering a screen protector with the HTC One (not sure how long the offer lasts though). The BB I went to had a printed flyer advertising the free screen protector. However, 3 separate BB's I visited would not price match Newegg's (or any competitor's) offer. They said there was a recent policy change that they do not price match "contract phones" and sure enough, the fine print on BB's website confirms it. Sounds like that because the $549 was off contract, that's probably why they went ahead and price matched for the OP.

I too got the screen protector free. They said it was for today and tomorrow only.

I got one free when I purchased my EVO 4G from Best Buy, 3 years ago. It was on my phone for all of about a day before I ripped it off. I just didn't think I could get used to the look and feel. Always good to get free stuff, though. :good:

Funny thing that they didn't even knew about the promotion at the BB that I got my phone from, I had to show them that it was on their website and I took them 10 min to figure it out how to get the code to work and get it to work. I don't really need the screen protector because I got an Otter box defender case with build screen protector but I not liking the cutout for the speakers, it seem I'm going to get dust in there and scratch the glass.

Yeah, through my experience with otterboxes, they will scratch the ish out of your screen. Best bet is to have a secondary screen protector under it or just apply your own and break the one on the otterbox off.

I was thinking the same, just put in the Zagg screen protector underneath the otterbox one, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this because I'm worried that is going to affect the sensitivity of the screen.

Bah! I just went in to get my pre-order from Best Buy (at 8pm), and the sales rep said they were offering a "discounted screen protector" for the price of $7.99! I was like... I wasn't planning on using a screen protector anyway, so screw that.

Ya this is the advertisement online.

Mine they said free but they would installation was 7.99. I asked if I could install myself, and they said yes. My phone freedom 50$ did not come up so we had to call and wait. She said she would install for free as we wait. I also got a free case. She set my HTC box on top of it on the counter. As she bagged everything she just grabbed the box put it in the bag. When I got home I had the rocket fish case in the bag.

This comes in 5 colors ($5.90)
This comes in 8 colors ($5.90, these are normally ~$12...jump on the deal)
TONS of more designs for UK users, I'm a little jealous of the store, they start at £10.00, there's a couple on the site
They have 2 other designs on their website, but not Amazon. I'm sure they are coming soon!
NOTE: I am not affiliated with them, I just like their cases. I've used them on almost ALL my devices.
*MOD EDIT* LINKS REMOVED

I love the bugdroid

FYI the Amazon.co.uk store has way more choices for Cruzerlite M8 TPU designs:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IZ737BE/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics

/sigh I love the design of the bugdroid, but I need a kickstand. And for the price, the Spi-Force looks like a winner.

Just ordered a bugdroid this morning! Loved their cases in the past.

added link to OP for all the designs for UK, German users in the OP

Aaaaand the pretty cases are now available to US shoppers via the Cruzerlite main website.

just ordered the bugdroid from amazon....will have to check out these others too. One thing I love about cruzerlite, their cases just get better and better with each rls.

My Bugdroid came today and it's going back. It was advertised as having button protection and it simply has cut outs. Not sure what type of "button protection that is but not as advertised.
From the Amazon description "Precise cutouts provide easy access to all ports while buttons have been covered for protection from daily use."
Looks like a cool case but I must have button protection.

Good luck with the return dude. Last time (first and last) I dealt with them I went back and forth for 6 weeks over a return just to be told in the end it was "now too long past the sale date" - yet I emailed them first the day I got the cases.
Please write back and let us know how it turns out.

Good luck with the return dude. Last time (first and last) I dealt with them I went back and forth for 6 weeks over a return just to be told in the end it was "now too long past the sale date" - yet I emailed them first the day I got the cases.
Please write back and let us know how it turns out.

Sorry to hear of your issues but I deal with Amazon partly due to their return process. I buy a lot of things and return many items to them all the time. Never had one issue. In this case, the description on their site is inaccruate. They never asked any questions and sent me a free return shipping label. They will even have UPS pick it up from me but my wife is always out shopping so I just have her drop it off.
Now, when dealing with merchants that are not Amazon fullfilled, that can be a different story. I typically avoid ordering items not fulfilled by Amazon.

Ya I do now too, learned my lesson. Thankfully it was a cheap one. I ended up finding this case on Amazon for $2.95 while the 2 colored options were $15. Next day they raised the price though. Nice case, comes with a belt clip/holster - even the clip on the holster folds backwards and words as a kickstand, pretty cool imo. (Case has a kickstand too, I came from using Evo's with em built it)

I also use their case for my Google Nexus 7, not a complaint to be had about either

I finally broke down and went with the Black UAG.
I really like the case I have now but know it offers very little protection. I tend to drop my phone a few times. If you want minimal protection this case might work. If the back were totally clear, I'd like it more. It is a soft TPU case but fits very well and has button protection.

If only the BugDroid had button protection, I may have kept it but again, I think I need more protection than the thin TPU cases provide.

I used a buy 2 get one coupon code so I have 3 coming for me for when my M8 comes in.
