Can i remove things from a dummy phone?

I'm soon gonna buy an used Sony Ericsson Xperia, but the thing is that it's battery cover and front buttons are a little scratched. I was thinking of buying a full housing but soon changed my mind due to it's price(80€). And besides, i don't need a new Qwerty keyboard and camera cover. So i checked for a dummy phone, which has a price of 25€. I was thinking, is it possible to remove it's battery cover and front buttons and place them on a real Xperia X1?
Here is the link to the dummy phone: http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-dummy-phone-p-6107.html

I know some people from UK and USA, but then again, the shipping will cost some money. And besides, It's not just about the battery cover, but about the front buttons too. That's is why i'm asking if Dummy phone parts are removeable. If they aren't, then i'll just buy a battery cover from Cnn, as you suggested.
So, do you maybe know if it's possible to disassemble a dummy phone?
Thanks for you answers

Just buy a battery cover from ebay or something.

shipping should not be much dude, i got SE to post my cover to my mother in the USA which the paid for, she only paid about $4.00 usd to post the package here (barbados) regular post...it took about a week
i dont know anything about dummy phones except that they do not make them 100% like the original

Nope, dummy phone parts are usually not removable... at least, not in the way you want them to be XD None of the ones where I work are, so I'd say it's a safe assumption that you'd be better off buying new parts.

The front buttons seems to be included in a front cover. See for yourself here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/x1-front-cover-p19247.htm

Thanks for the link. Helped me a lot. But, is it possible to buy front cover and battery cover together?
Like this: http://mobile.brando.com/sony-erics...ment-front-battery-cover_p04302c0670d088.html
Just with the soft buttons included?

It appears to me being a f***ing nightmare to change the housing of the X1...

Well, mobilefun sells both parts, just not bundled (battery cover £17.56). I suppose you're looking for a cheeper price and there I can't help you. I've shopped at mobilefun before and they work flawlessly even with orders abroad as in my case.

Well thanks for the help. The faceplate looks really awesome, but i think it's overpriced. At lease in my opinion.
You can see for the battery cover which is £17.56(about 18€?), while on the cnn.cn is only 10.99€(about 8€). It's a shame they don't sell the faceplate tho

Battery cover on the dummy phone is plastic. The battery cover is the same piece as the entire bottom housing.

On the back of the screen when the keyboard is open...those little rubber screw covers have fallen off on my xperia! Any idea where i can get some from can they be removed from a dummy phone ?
Thanks

Htc po s511

Anyone here bought the PO S511 case for hd2? Recommend to buy?

I have the S511.... Its perfect and not too expensive.... I've tried a couple of other cases but keep coming back to this one.... I had the same style case for my HD - I preferred the "side opening" book style case but you soon get used to the difference.

where u bought ur S511?

Ebay UK seller.

I've got one and am happy with it. Build quality and fit are good. This is the only case I've used for the HD2 so obviously can't compare it to anything else but I don't feel the need to find anything better.

thanks for sharing. how much u bought urs?

anyone knws where can i buy it online?

I have this case and I've not been impressed with it at all. The main problem with it is the two rails which tho phone slides into wrap around the front of the phone right where the on screen keyboard sits. This makes it very difficult to select keys which are close to the edges of the phone. (it also makes it difficult to use the outer most quick links)
Everytime I need to type any messages of any length I invariably end up taking the phone out of the case as its just too frustrating to use otherwise.
Also, I don't think this case would give little protection to the phone if it was dropped and landed on either of the top corners.

RayMie87..... why are you asking the same questions over and over again???? The link I gave you has the price and you can order online? There are a dozen other online outlets including Mobile Fun and of course Ebay too - just search on Google....???
If you have a £500 phone then investing £15 in a good case is a "good" investment..... now stop asking and go and buy.....

My wife doesn't use hers. I can sell you that one.

how much do you want?

Got one too if that doesnt work out.

Are you talking about the one offered in T-Mobile stores?
If so, stay away. It fits very loose and because of it the phone slides around. During calls, the proximity sensor cant work properly so the screen goes on and off during calls. Your face will constantly hit buttons.

Im pretty sure i have the stock one for you .... I wont bother selling it to you you can just have it PM me

If you want the one that comes in the box just go into a T-mobile store I'm sure they would give you one out of a return.

HTC Incredible pre-release battery door for sale

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:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Droid-Incre...Accessories&hash=item41545a22bd#ht_500wt_1156

That, sir, looks amazing.

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.

I want one of those but 110.00? What do they usually go for?

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.

Sorry OP. I don't know who told you this was a pre-release item.

^Nice. I wish I would have seen that a couple of weeks ago before I bought my red one from Verizon.

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????

Battery Cover

I know this belongs in accessories but I believe the more people will see it here.
Click here if you want to buy a battery door.

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?

They have they antenna in them

Yeah, seriously why would these not have them. They're OEM.

I want one. Since people have 3... Be sure to list an extra on ebay for those of us that can't get the stock I'd also like a new bezel... Lol. It has some slight imperfection 'mini' chips but I guess I could try sanding it? Lol

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.
