pretty expensive for a bit of plastic!
It is expensive because the antenna is in the plastic battery cover.

Piece of plastic + some metal != expensive!!!
This is such a ripoff, someone needs to dig out the service manual of that phone and locate the part #, should be much easier to find suppliers and get the replacement part at OEM price
Edit: Actually, it's written 3C-XNAJ2P2-011 on it but a Google search returned nothing.

Does anyone else have problems with screwing the additional battery to the back of the XDA? I find that finger tight is not tight enough and the grooves in the screws are not deep enough for a screwdriver. If a screwdriver is used it scratches them! Can those screw thibgs be replace with something half decent? Thanks
loose screws
Had the same problem, make sure the xda is face in your hand and press firmly down where the are screws are focusing pressure between the screws take are very small screwdriver the kind you get in a computer toolkit and very gently take up the slack DO NOT PRESS DOWN & TIGHTEN LIKE A MANIAC, if its still loose focus the pressure closer to the 1 screw, take up the slack as above, then repeat on other.
REMEMBER! BE CAREFULL NOT TO GO HEAVY... the threads on these units are delicate.
Where can I find a cheap extended battery on the net?
You have 2 cheating choices.. you could take your chances on ebay or really cheat and contact expansys they have a 9v battery adaptor for the xda thats about £14 excluding VAT and price is at the time of this reply (great for emergencies and when your case doesn't have room for the extended battery)
Failing that, brand new from www.expansys.com is £46 I've noticed the pricing of them keeps falling plus I'm sure the net companies are cheaper. :twisted:
The expansys one seems to be a different colour to the o2 uk xda, being a slightly more "grey colouration" than the silver of the machine itself.
Perhaps its just the one I've got.
I've noticed that the xda battery on O2's website now seems to be set at a similar price as the expansys one - perhaps that one's a "better match"
not that I'm picky!
The only other issue is its difficult to find a case that will accomodate the battery, the standard "captin kirk" xda leather case wont close properly with it fitted, neither will the innopocket alluminium one.
Case accomodating ext. battery
If you want a case that comfortably accomodates the ext. battery go for the case dixons sells for £10 - Its the only case they sell for the xda, the downside being there is no beltclip whatsoever, great for my handbag, don't no bout the guything- its looks very much like an executive case with room for creditcards ext.battery and an extra stylus slot.
Was looking to buy a new outer housing for the phone as I dropped it and there are grooves/pits in the soft rubber part of the housing. This one on ebay says it oem, but the camera does not extent as far as out on the original case, and there are no metal edges around the camera bezel (these may actually be better for the device). Was wondering if anyone can confirm if this is indeed oem, maybe htc changed the housing in later models?
Link here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-HTC-HD...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45f16d3a99
thank you...
It looks like the real thing. not sure about the camera bit though. Also, the mini picture in the first image is definitely not the hd2. Might be worth asking the seller.
hello n4v1n,
same housing as original, when you will take off your outer housing, you will see that camera's extention with metal edge doesn't come with it (it's part of the camera's module, not housing)
agree with kengel77.. the camera module is by itself, therefore it will be on your board..
I can confirm that the camera part is part of the housing as I have taken it apart already. The board has just the lens attached to it, nothing else.
Would this work for the T9193 as well as the T8585?
I scuffed the corner of my housing (dropped it onto pavement in the leather sleeve, just happened to land on the exposed corner...) and removing the Telstra branding seems like a plus.
$20 is a pittance.
Also, how difficult/risky is the actual process of replacing the housing?
Ok I can confirm this is NOT an OEM housing as truesupplier.com has it for $98.00!!! too expensive imo. Also @spike15, removing the old housing is easy although you will most likely damage the original housing in the process as u have to pry it open with some sort of plastic edge and it's really tight. I have little grooves in the plastic above where the earpiece is now.

I don't care about the original housing -- it'll be going straight in the garbage.
Can anyone confirm the quality of these housings? Can anyone confirm that the T8585 housing is identical (at least in shape and size) to the T9193 housing?

Since its not oem and from china, MOST likely will be garbage, considering an oem version costs 5X more. just my 2cents./ Also the antenna leads for the wifi, gps etc. are not included, so you will have to take them off the original, they look like stickers and if they tear, you're screwed. I didnt mess with them but they look very fragile.

Does the truesupplier one include these leads?
No one has an answer for whether or not the T8585 and T9193 housings are identical? : /
maybe this thread can give the answer

The T9193 is not the T-Mobile version, it's the Telstra version...
afaik ALL US versions are the t9193's.
the internationals (europe/asia/etc) are the t8585's.

No, because the T9193 is the Telstra version, and Telstra is an Australian telco.
Do I need to take a picture of my Telstra HD2 box which says "T9193" on it?

yes you have t9193, the housing will NOT fit, end of story.
Are you sure this won't fit?
Someone on page suggested the only reason difference in size might be standard of measure difference. Sounds very ridiculous.
Why are you saying it won't fit?
I found a dummy phone is much cheaper than buying a new housing. So i was wondering would it be possible to take the housing off a dummy phone and put it on my phone?
In short - NO. Dummy phones are only designed to look the part on the outside. Inside, however, they are nothing like the real thing and are not filled with anything, some are solid to add weight only. I never seen a dummy phone that was suitable for housing replacement, no matter how much it replicated the real thing.
Housings are not so expensive at all; about 20 dollars,
Look at Ebay? http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=so..._nkwusc=sony+ericsson+xperia+x1+houing&_rdc=1
they are made of plastic. definitely not. Just go buy a replacement

Has anybody tried this FASCIA housing wichm most of them are from HK or china?
I don't know how they are, and I'm afraid.From what I know OEM are better than fascia. Me also I would pay 25 usd on a housing or 30 on a full housing (with slider part also). What do you recomend?

Fascia means FACEPLATE, it's not a brand or means anything else, so not OEM vs Fascia comparison, rather an original product or a copy. The thing is, the original had multiple problems by cracking and falling apart all by itself, no misuse or abuse was needed, so it doesn't actually even matter which one you take. In all other cases OEM would be better.
so OEM it is not original but is better than a copy. Yeah I know about the cracks of the original ones but reading here i understood that this "fascia" are worse and I could spend the money for nothing in the end because it wouldn't fit.
If you end up buying a new housing on eBay, expect lower quality.
I ordered a body, it came with everything except for the back of the LCD (the part that has the slider that connects both halves together). The battery cover was aluminum (but lighter, less reflective paint). The plastic was quite light, and on the keyboard, where the seam is for the silver sides and the center section, the join is visible, not as nice as the original. However, the fascia was aluminum (or some other metal) - probably the best quality thing of it all, although the camera and light sensor holes seemed frosted.
I never got to using this body, but I'll keep it as a spare in case something disastrous happens.
tl;dr: Expect lower quality from eBay, will do the trick, may have missing parts.
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.

Try topicovers.com if you are still having problems. I bought some and now is a big fan of them. Good luck!
I have a case on my phone, but I noticed recently the flap to the SD card and USB port isn't clicking shut. I mean, it'll click shut, but then it pushes itself out again. It's cheaper for me to replace the door than to get another $20 case that provides cover support to this port.
Which vendors sell the updated port cover that prevents this issue? I found one vendor, here: http://www.witrigs.com/oem-micro-sd-sim-usb-port-cover-flap-for-sony-xperia-z3-compact-black
Sony store sells it. In malaysia, it costs around us$7 for 1 flap

I've had to replace mine about 4 times now. The seal just doesn't cope if you open and close the flap a lot.
I get mine from Amazon. They're normally only a few bucks and come in a lot of different colours.

My z3c has the same issue. The rubber seal detached from the flap itself after some use and the loose piece (the rubber seal) prevented the cover from a complete close.
I blame Sony for not having a better design/quality considered it is the cover of the charging port. IMO, It should be able to sustain usage on a daily basis.
I'm looking into the possibility of gluing the rubber seal in place with rubber cement or contact cement. Replacement flaps cost around $5/pc. Would hate to replace flap every couple months.
I don't care for waterproofness anyway as I don't use it underwated, so I just peeled away the rubber seal from the flap and put the flap back in its place, the replacement costs here around 5€ if I'm right, but as of now, I don't need it.
If you need to use your phone underwater, then buy a replacement part, otherwise it can be used without seal.

You can buy them from eBay or Amazon at about 7 or 8 bucks a piece, of course don't expect it to hold up against water compared to the original one Sony put in it.
