I got the screen from here, http://www.runpda.com/ , it cost £93.00
including shipping. But I got stung by customs for £38.00 Tax, rip-off, so it cost me £131.00 in total. I've bought from this part of the world (Asia) before and not been charged by taxman, its just the luck of the draw.
Someone suggested this place in the UK, but I had already ordered, if anybody tries this one, post costs etc for everyone. Mobile Repair Centre in London. 177a North end road 0207 610 3103.
I used this manual to open case, all the instructions are ok,
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Himalaya/Himalaya-Service-Manual/
The only bit that is confusing is the opening of the black plastic cover, basically follow manuals instructions to open cover by pen holder side, then slid a thin piece of plastic in the gap and slid along (I made a plastic tool from cutting a thickish plastic bottle). In the picture it looks like you place it in the SD slot, this is not the case, just slid along the edge of the gap you have created by the pen holder.

i havn t pay Tax, you must tell to runpda, please write GIFT on the package

Cracked Screen

Im living in the Uk and managed to crack the screen on my kaiser. My insurance company will fix it/replace the phone but theres is a 50quid excess.
Iv searched the internet high & low for new LCD screens but aside from ebay iv struggled to find any. As for the ones on ebay they are all from hong kong & google has brought up a few horror stories from people who have used them.
Does anyone know where i could source a new lcd from, or any advice in general?
cheers guys

I cracked the screen on my kaiser a couple months back. I purchased an LCD off ebay (i may be able to find the seller and see if he has more). I received it within a week and fixed it myself. easy stuff. I wouldn't be too afraid.

so your insurance will charge you 50quid to replace it completely or 50quid on top of the price of the lcd?
cnn.cn has lcd's for $75.99 + shipping. I've had mixed results with them. Ordered about 3 things from them, all seperate orders, arrived on time and no complaints. But then ordered a 4th item (lcd for nokia n82) and the package arrived empty. I honestly think it got lost in customs cuz they tore the package open, but cnn.cn didnt reply to any of my emails so i just withdrew the payment with my bank.

£50 in total, inc shipping and parts. the £50 is just my insurance excess.
The phone is in very poor shape so imo id quite happily pay the £50 if they will send me a refurb phone!

poor shape how?
i sent my phone Tytn in or repa[ir on insurance with a cracked screen, they serviced it, cleaned it etc.
if you have insurance then use it! you won't be able to get a screen for less and then you'll have the hassle of fitting it.
whats the point in having insurance?
if your phone is in poor shape cosmetically and you are disappointed with that then look after your phone!!!
else report all faults in a one-er and get them fixed for one excess payment.

Ebay housings

Anyone who bought new housing parts from Ebay and changed already? I'm wondering what quality it is on this low priced parts. Here in Sweden, a battery cover is about $30 compared to what you get on Ebay for that amount, a complete cover (touch screen excluded).
My phone is a year now and has scratches all over. With another year on my contract left i thought I should do a refurbish and also put on a Invisible Shield ( http://www.invisibleskinz.com/ ) for another happy X1 year.
Thanks, A.D

There's also housings for the X1 from www.cnn.cn ; can't speak on the quality for the X1, but I've gotten a few other sony ericsson housings from there - they are decent.

Thanks for the link, had a quick look and they are naming the parts "oem" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) as some sellers on Ebay. Not sure if I can believe that but thanks again, adress is now bookmarked.

These are fine!
I bought my housing from this ebay seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SONY-ERICSSON-X1-XPERIA-BLACK-HOUSING-GENUINE-HS39_W0QQitemZ160384160559QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item2557a4132f It was genuine and imaculate. Came with special screwdriver as well.
Oh and here is a link to a thread I started re. changing the housing....it may help u http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550258&highlight=replacing+housing

Thanks, I'll have a look at both links!

i purchased one from ebay, and i will never again unless its oem. very cheap and its not oem. does not fit properly and i actually i had glue something that should have been done. its worth going to cnn.cn and getting the housing for 79.99 other than the 25$ that i spent and actually messed up my x1i.

A case that levels of the camera piece

Hi
Any1 know of a case that covers the back of the hd2 but goes around the camera jut out piece? Its just so seen as the phone will be slightly larger it may as well be stable when laid on a flat surface?
JR

capdase is the best

try the original htc flip case, it does level it

I bought this case which I received today after ordering Saturday night and can't fault it: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-soft-jacket-2-xpose-htc-hd2-black-p24042.htm
It has all the cut outs for connections and covers the lens edges well so when laid down sits perfectly fine. You can get the case from Hong Kong for about £9inc delivery if you don't mind waiting 2 - 4 weeks to be delivered but I bought it from here as I know I can send it back if need be and if you sign up to their newsletter you'll get free delivery off your first order which I did so came to £14.47 all in. Only problem is as soon as they come in stock they sell out. I signed up for stock notification which said 5 came in over the weekend but looks like they all sold pretty quick.

VERY similar to the case I got, levels it off and protects phone etc, also 100% non slip rubber style, so no dropping our beloved slippy phones
Matt

thanks again
JR

You can check this one out it completely covers the camera except for the little circle in the center.

I think you can't find them anywhere. The only way to get them is by sending your phone back where you bought it and then they'll send it to LG. You can find spare parts for example on eBay but they will never be original.
Tell me if I'm wrong

rounded.com has quiet a few spare parts for our N5x

I bought my replacement screen, digitizer, and battery from Witrigs. $90 after shipping, took 2 weeks to get to Texas from China. worked great until last week when it decided it didnt like being 1 piece, and the screen cracked for no reason.

I just ordered a new back cover last week from here: https://www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-google-nexus-5x
They don't specify if it is OEM or not, but the fit and finish is superb!

I was able to get a lens cover replacement for mine on Amazon.
It was $6 and cheaper than getting a whole new back plate. Installation was simple once I got the phone pried open.
