Hi,
My puppy decided he liked the look of my Kaiser and decided to have a chew on it, resulting in a cracked LCD screen, and teeth marks in the front cover and battery cover.
anyone have a suggestion where the best place for spare parts is??
I'm located in Australia.
thanks

Hi there ,
you may want to search the forum as many people had problems like yours (maybe not because of a dog though ). Try keywords like "spare parts kaiser".
Here is an example of an other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333670
By doing this, I am sure you can find some good adresses (like here, here, here). You may want to simply try eBay as well.
CNN.CN
Duezeff is correct, I've had the best luck with cnn.cn in finding parts. At the time i was only interested in one LCD screen for a friend and saw that there was a discount for buying in bulk. Now I wish I had done so and set up my own little shop. Also, pay attention to what you're actually purchasing (which part of the touchscreen you are getting) and whether it is new or from a used phone.
Use Mike Channon's guides to disassemble and reassemble your phone and you should be set. it is very easy to do.

Is there an Ebay in Australia? Always a good source of parts.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
EBay came up trumps, and my new LCD screen, digitiser and Case are on the way from Hong Kong.

Hey all! I just wanted to share what I found. Not to sure if anyone found this and or mentioned it here somewhere. I looked around and saw another post asking about it. But thats all I saw. I am not sure how easy it is to dis-assemble the device and or how well the housing varies with hardware. I changed my T-Mobile Wing into the HTC 4520 with housing replacement, yes they were the exact same hardware wise yet some components were off some how. I had changed more then a few others that wanted the HTC branded housing and same so idk. I'm going to order one of these soon so i will share with pics of my experience unless someone does it first. Here you all go.

Nice! Too bad the custom ones are ugly as hell
Nice I was JUST looking for housings. Thanks for the heads up!
Just in case you guys aren't aware, 32A and 32B motherboards are different, so a HTC Magic housing will not fit a MyTouch, and vice versa.

ya i had a feeling about this. but i think im still gonna try and see what needs to be modded. you never know, htc might have made the molds the same so they dont lose on machining time. like i said in op my wing and the 4520 were off by just a lil but i still got it to work 100%. I only had to switch out the keyboards so i bet this will probably work. I will get it and try it out for mt3g users.

I'm speaking from personal experience. I bought a G2 case from ebay, and the case has some holes on the opposite side of where the MyTouch case has them. I ordered a second one and had to return it because despite asking the seller in advance if it indeed was for a MyTouch and not an HTC branded phone they didn't have the right one. I've seen recently that some have started popping out on ebay that state "will fit US models" or something to that effect, these should be safe. My advice is to ask before you buy if it will fit a T-Mobile MyTouch, and what happens if it doesn't fit after you order it.
yep i can confirm. the thickness is different. but i managed to match them i have a 32a front and back pannel (black). And 32b middle section (silver UK Vodafone stock). This works just fine. Otherwise your vibration motor will never work since it is to tight.

I double that, I just figuered that out the other day while I was trying to change the housing for my magic.
I was wondering if anyone has found a source for a housing replacement that will automatically fit the 32B? I am in search of one and can't seem to find one. I found some that say mytouch compatible but I think they will have the same issue as mentioned here about being different on the inside.
Thanks.

I'm also looking for a housing that will be compatible with my MT3G, it looks pretty banged up.
yea the housings cause vibrator problems.
I bring great news, I e-mailed cnn.cn asking when they will have MT3G housings in stock and they replied saying they should have it in stock in early march.

I bought one of the housings available from the website posted in the OP (and quoted above). The only part of my MT3G that was messed up and scratched was the front face plate, so I didn't bother trying to swap out the rest of the housing. The face plate fits perfectly and looks awesome. The chrome buttons and HTC logo instead of the T-Mobile logo give it a much nicer look. $17 to make my phone look nicer and brand new again is not a bad deal at all.
I'd actually be willing to bet that, with some minor modifications to the middle section of the housing, we could get this entire kit to fit our MT3G's. We'd need to drill a tiny hole for the mic (the one that shipped to me has the mic hole on the opposite side), and perhaps cut away at some of the plastic near the vibration motor to allow it to move freely, but it should work. I might try this if I get bored. I'll let you know if I have any success.
Thanks for posting the site.

It was okay, but just okay. It definitely looks like OEM product, even down to the fact that the HTC branding was tinged blue instead of being silver and the middle chassis part was cracked. I waited 3 weeks for it to arrive in this condition, and I'm still struggling to get a refund from him so I can try another seller. Don't waste your time with him.
I did notice one or two listings on ebay actually do say original not OEM, one in particular from the UK, going to give one of those a try.

Let us know who you get it from. I dropped mine and there are little chips around the phone, I'd like to replace the housing eventually.
guys I need a housing for my Tmobile Mytouch without 3.5 mm jack ASAP. my back looks like crap, and scratched like hell.
here are 2 different ones from ebay. can you guys tell me if it will fit? I mean the pic does say "tmobile" and I am waiting from the sellers to hit back.
both of em are shipped from hong kong

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290413949633
btw both are similar products but 2 different sellers.
none of those come with screws. and one of them states, I would need existing "screw holes" idk what that means, I believe these "screw holes" are already inside my pre existing housing (stock).
sorry but these guys are foreign sellers and have bad communication skills, most of there responses are half assed.
Hi guys,
Recently purchased a new hd2 and wondered if there are any pull cases available for it, my google and xda searches have been inconclusive.

where you pull a strip up on the back of the case which lifts the phone out of the case slightly
I bought one from a seller on eBay.

A great Pull case
Here is a case i bought from ebay. It arrived today and after testing it for a couple of hours I am posting my positive comments and recommendations on it. First of all - it is the cheapest pull case of the "puller is fixed in hole on the side" type (see pictures). Costed me just 8$ (free shipping to Taiwan)
It may seem expensive given the fact that one can order a pull-case for just 2.07$ as in here. But after a sad experience i had with hard case i learned the lession with sad consequences. This case is well worth the price. Soft pleasant leather, soft inner velvet lining, and the pulling design is just brilliant. I used to have a conventional pull case with not fixed "puller tongue". Well, every time i was going to put the phone back into case i had to make sure that the tongue is on the right side (otherwise the phone would not dive till the end) - annoying, especially if you have to do this operation fast, "on the flight". With this design you do not look for the tongue neither while inserting, nor while pulling the phone out.
Too long a review for just a leather case... anyways, nice purchase it seems:
The photos are from ebay site.
P.S. Also they include a screen protector, but i doubt the quality of it, though haven't tried it yet (it seems 0.5 mm longer then needed).
P.S.2 I am by no means related to the seller, I just searched ebay for a leather case, sorted them by S&H price and scrolled down until i found the first one with this design.
I have a Droid Incredible Pre-release battery door and want to sell it. I've only used it once and got a few months after the release. This is extremely rare and I rather not sell it but i need the cash. It has the the cool android dude on it and says HTC Incredible. It also comes with the inner cover that you can replace to get red accented power and volume buttons.It is in great condition. Price is negotiable. I haven't seen anyone else ever sell one of these so I know its extremely rare and I don't have another one. If anyone may like to buy this please PM me with an offer. I have had this in my display case above my desk but I need to sell it now. I remember some people on the XDA wanted it so Im posting it here. XD
This auction has been moved to ebay:

I think its really cool. It was the original battery door to the Incredible, but before it was released they changed it to the the cheaper black rubber door.
$20. LMK. pay pal ready.
Will help pay for something better than a web cam.
I'll offer $30 USD.
very sexy, not good for me since i use a case but i have a question,
what is the process of replacing the inner cover?

To Replace the inner cover, you have to unscrew the screws and carefully pry off the undercover. This will void your warranty but it will also allow you to have red accented buttons XD.
Id totally enter this auction if I didn't feel like I've already spent a fortune in accessories and batteries and whatnot.
Tis a damn sexy case though, that's for certain. Dunno if id be willing to void my warranty to get the red accents, however.

I've seen this somewhere before. But I don't think it works on the actually live unit, maybe on a dummy.

Point is they usually don't go for anything, because nobody sells them.
I researched and found out that this battery door was on some dummy units. It's not actually a "pre-release" door.
I even found them on eBay for $23.

youre kinda right but these are dummy phones you found on ebay, means the back door is glued/screwed on and not interchangeable...so even if it's not a prerelease door at least it will fit on someones phone
edit: I mean the OP's backdoor will fit...the dummy phone backs WILL NOT fit our phones, I hope ppl didnt think I meant the other way around

After looking at this Ebay page more closely, I found that the battery covers that they have and I have are different. The speaker hole on mine isn't even that shape. If you compare my photos to theirs, you will see how theirs is fake. The original prerelease battery covers have the main speaker hole the way mine does.
yeah they're not the same as the one you have..the ones you have were sold on a site a couple months back but sold out
Isn't it backwards? The camera and LED ports are on the right????

The point of forum separation is to keep things organized. It doesn't matter if more people will see it here, it's the wrong section.
Thanks, that could be a very useful site!
Lol "OEM"
Moved to accessories.
darn they're out of stock. Was thinking of picking up 1 for myself since I scratched mine.
I can't wait for them to come back in stock. Great find.
You sir are the man.
That **** scratches so easily.
thank you for that! now i can save on the back case and just buy a new cover
maybe one of the only pros for Samsung making such a cheap door. :\
I actually got three before they were out of stock an sold two an kept one. These things scratch so dam easy its almost not even worth gettin a replacement cover cause itll be scratched as well in no time. I even put a zagg on the back as soon as i got it an when i took it off to put a bestskinsever on it still had some fine scratches on it an i baby the **** out of this phone, so the only reason i can see spendin more money on a replacement is if i cracked the cover or something
I will buy some once they are in stock.
I will be ordering too once it's back in stock. Already have 2 fine scratches on the back after keeping the "stock" clear plastic cover packaging thingy for over 3 weeks. The scratches came from me wiping the back from the oil in my skin with a lens cleaner. UGH.
But curious, the battery cover has that antenna. I wonder if this OEM cover will have it, my guess it won't. And if it doesn't, I suppose we have to remove the antenna from the old cover?

I would assume so as well. But I have bought OEM parts (for the G1) and when they specify back case, it's just the back case. No cushioning foam or whatever that was attached to the one that came with my phone.
But I just checked the additional pictures and it does show the NFC antenna. Good thing. Just hope they actually ship as that.

Anderdroid, I believe the thread is for the back (battery) cover and not the fascia (bezel). I checked the site and there is no listing for what you're looking for.

Oh yeah I know it's about the battery cover. I need one of those too.
I thought Samsung would have done something similar like they did with the Galaxy S give a spare one with maybe a different colour, or just a spare, I honestly don't know where you could buy these from Google themselves, because this is very much vital to the NFC feature to work, if you break it then you NEED a new one, and one from China might not work the same. These might be OEMs, but it's better than nothing.
Good News : Nexus S OEM Back Battery Cover
Hello folks,
I know we have all been wanting to protect our Nexus S, especially the back battery cover.
I have been searching...and finally found this one site that was selling, but they were out of stock for some time. Recently they changed the status to be available sooner or later than Feb 14th 2011.
This is great news, and thought i will share it with you guyz.
