Help with broken antenna

I managed to break my antenna and now I don't know if I'm missing pieces of it; There is a clear plastic body with a fixed bronze stud and a plastic cap. Is that It? I don't have the phone activated currently so I don't know if the reception will be affected. Does anybody know where to get a replacement?
I drive a Motorcycle to commute to work everyday, and I got one of those GPS holders so I drive around with my device in it to have the MP3 playing, anyway I didn't put it correctly and suddenly @ about 30 MPH I stopped hearing music; My PDA was 150 yards behind.
Anybody know how to post pic's if I don't have a server?

Pictures...
If you send me the pictures, I'll put them online and stick 'em in your message.
You were damn lucky to have only the antenna damaged...

I sent the pictures to your e-mail, Unfortunately not only the antenna got damaged, the aftermarket leather cover that I bought (Krusell) has the edges exposed so that area got scratched also, there's even a crack on top of the earbud connector, but that's minor.
So anybody know where to buy the antenna and covers replacement ?
Am I missing parts for the antenna assembly?
Thanks for your help.
Great forum.

Yes, it looks like there's stuff missing.

Actually, I ended up breaking my antenna by pulling my XDA out of my pocket so many times by the antenna. Eventually, it just popped off.
Inside is a small spring that apparently acts as an antenna. Once that popped out and got lost, I was unable to recieve any signal from my XDA. I called T-Mobile and RMA'd the phone. My new one works just fine, and I've been careful to go easy on the antenna.

I had the same and found that a cut down spring from a pen (the one that goes arround the ink thing does a good job at replaceing the antenna coil.
Haveing said that I retuned my device as was given a replacement as well

Kaiser For Sale - Pics Added - Now Sold

This is an Orange UK Kaiser with standard rom and locked to orange all issues not really an issue to anyone here.
The phone was replaced by orange in november after a fault with it turning off all the time. the only part replaced is the main body of the phone.
It comes with a 1 gb memory card (San Disk) (If i can't find this it will come with the 4gb in the photo) and all the usual bits (Charger, Headset ETC)
The only issue is the back cover had a clip or 2 broken (See Pics) and causes it lift on one corner. The cover was broken on the old replaced phone and not on this one. there is no scratches on the main body as it only had about 3 weeks of use once replaced.

The only orange branding is on the back cover. since this needs to be replaced it would be unbranded on the casing.
Pictures will be on the top post shortly. (16:00)

The Screen as best as i can get it.
The broken Clips
The back and where its not connected and then how it sits. TBH the only issue is the stylus can not going in normally sometimes.

Ill take it for the £100 asking price!
Just to confirm, phone works 100% fine minus the broken catches on back panel? Any chance of a pic once its booted up?
thanks

Any Touch Screen/Digitizer Repair Kits for Telus?

I just got this phone as a gift a month and a half ago, and somehow, just somehow the screen got cracked in my pocket. Everything still works fine, phone works great as always, but the screen is all messed up.
I went to a local Telus store, and they said they don't do repairs on physical damage which is stupid IMO. And I think the warranty my brother paid for might be up, he's not sure. And even so, I'm almost positive they'll say the warranty doesn't cover physical damage. The guy said my only hope would be to look for a 3rd party company online that can do repairs.
I tried looking around for a Screen/Digitizer Repair Kit for telus online, but they only had some for the sprint model of the phone. I know they're the same, but the screen shapes are clearly different.

Replacement LCD
Hi. Have a look on ebay. I would recommend you buy a complete LCD and digitiser pre-assembled in one unit... These typically cost around £35 UK pounds when bought from sellers in Hong Kong. You will need a set of jewellers screw drivers (mini torx drivers), and a set of tweezers. Also, would recommend downloading a Service Manual for the Diamond if you have never taken one apart before (you can find this with Google). You need to be very careful though, because there are two small black coaxial cables inside the device that carry the GPS, bluetooth/wifi signals from the upper antenna board to the lower motherboard. These are very easily damaged and it is difficult to locate replacements. I've changed a few LCDs in the past and it is relatively easy if you are careful and methodic about taking the device apart. If you are unsure, I would recommend finding a third party replacement service on the internet to do it for you....

i was seen one of your post. my diamond screen was broken and i get it to a serviceman. after he replace its touchscreen i lost my wifi,gps , bluetooth and phone microphone. can you help me to repair it? thanks alot

I bought mine and didn't even touch it and there's a gap between the charger and the bottom cover of the phone where you can see the SIM card. Just a very poor design.

I have the same problem. I opened it to swap the sd card, and since then it doesn't close perfectly anymore.
I called htc about this, and they confirm that they only sell the upper part of the back cover. You can send it in, but then it'll cost you about 40 dollars for the fix, minus the shipping. I just ordered a silicone cover instead.
I just hope that they will start selling those bottom parts too.

I agree with you I have seen many review criticise this! There seems to be a poor quality control at HTC for the HD7, the gap to me looks like about 1mm that's not acceptable!
Fortunately I have been very luck my HD7 does not have that gap!

It's a shame ... seriously ... the back housing is not the only part of a low quality ...
Even the power button doesnt seem to work properly (after two week of usage!) and i have to press it really hard to get it to work.
and I also saw the "Tarnished camera button" in the other thread ...
HTC!!!! SERIOUSLY?!!!

my local HTC repair shop contacted a lot of people but was also unable to get the part. i am thinking of superglue right now ...
superglued down. no other option but its perfect now

The gap annoyed me after I upgraded it to 32GB... So I carefully sanded down some of the plastic lugs and superglued the bottom part to the body. Yup, I know it was quite drastic but at least I've ended up with a perfect HD7... And a voided warranty! It's a shame that HTC allowed this horrible gap. My old HD2 was much better finished.

As much as i'd like to post a link for some back covers for you all there seems to be a lack of spare parts for the moment . I did however find a coverall solution that although doesn't fix your phones will at least let you hold it together until we can buy some at a later date

[HW Fix] No SIM - Moto G XT1072 LTE (2nd Gen.), Motorola Moto G 4G (2015)

I recently had to go back home to Britain, I needed a cheap phone. I purchased the cheapest unlocked Moto G that wasn't being sold for parts! This was an unlocked XT1072. I put a Giffgaff SIM in it and it gave 'No SIM'. The shop that sold me the SIM tried an O2 SIM which worked. Got back to the US put a Tracfone BYOP SIM in it, worked fine; Till two days ago, when it said 'No SIM'. I found the XT1072_THEA_RETEU_6.0_MPBS24.65-34-5 image on this forum downloaded it and re-flash my phone hoping to cure the issue. It flashed fine but when it was all done and logged into 'No SIM'.
Luckily I had a Torx driver that fit T5?
I opened it up, (wasn't the first time this phone had been opened most of the plastic tabs we broken).
What I found is the SIM and the SD Card slots sit on an L shaped board and connect to one rather shallow connector. The SIM side showed a gap between the board and the phone.
I could re-seat the connector and it will work, till the next time it doesn't! I decided to fix the board in place with light duty double sided tape. I put the tape on the back of the SIM/SD board and trimmed it with a Stanley blade. I then press home the connector and holding the connector down, pressed the board on to the back of the phone. Just to be sure I put a gob of silicon sealant to bond the top of the connector to the main board, if I ever needed to remove the board silicon sealant is easily cut! I put a couple of globs on other connectors for good measure and re-assembled... The phone worked perfectly!
