Replace bezel/buttons

There are a few websites that i've found that sell replacement back housings, mid housings, and front housings for the HD7, some of the pictures aren't too clear on whether or not the bezel (chrome trim) is included.
What is the trim piece actually called on the HD7 so I know what to look for?

"Full housing" includes front and back housing(the whole phone case), most of them talk about back cover (battery and low-back covers) only, if you can buy through ebay is a good option for you... remember is the full housing what you want: "Original OEM New Full Housing Cover Case Shell HD7 T9292"

Yea I've been lookind and saw one with the yellow behind the kickstand, it was on some Chinese phone parts site. I've seen the "us model" hd7 shells on eBay and amazon for the same price.
I may as well replace the whole thing, assuming it comes with the buttons.

Hello. Did you get the full housing yet? Did it come with the buttons? I want to get the full housing too. My power button is completely gone, have to unlock the phone with the camera button every time. Not convenient at all

That's the housing for an HTC HD7S T9295, an exclusive US model for AT&T, maybe Europe too (I haven't confirm that yet)...

[Q] Nexus One housings on eBay?

Hi guys,
Just got my hands on a quite used N1 from my friend, and is thinking of replacing the full housing.
After looking at pictures on eBay and subsequently asking the sellers, I found that many of the housings on sale are fully plastic. I aware that the front frame of the N1 is metal, so I would like to ask you guys if you know anywhere (eBay or elsewhere) that sells the metal housing for a reasonable price?
Cheers

I saw a set of housings for sale on Amazon. You might wanna check it out

Thanks! But the one that appears at the top of the list shares the exact same photo as the one I inquired on eBay, which the seller said its made of "plastic-like synthetic material" the real metal ones that I found are either refurbished or carries an exorbital price (USD40+ for the front frame alone).

I have a at&t nexus one that I was going to sell body is in good shape ill do 60 shipped has desktop dock? Let meknow
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

That's a really good deal, I paid around $110 for a beat up one with dock, but that was 7+ months ago with 2 batteries, all accessories and box, still working perfect and its working great to this day. I'd like to get a replacement housing to paint flat black but I'm scared to take it apart.

Thanks for the offer, I really wants to get it, but I live a bit too far away, in New Zealand which might be hard for you to ship to. Guess I'll have to live with cheap plastic knockoffs...

What would you do...?

So I go to order a new oem LCD and digitizer on ebay, found one, bought it and then I get a message from the guy after he ships it out to me saying, 'Hey, I just put your package in the mail, it was the L900 lcd digitizer assembly, right?' .....No, it wasn't it was suppose to have just been the LCD and digitizer, not with the housing still super adhesived on. I have a T889, which is why I was happy to have found that LCD and Digitizer combo for only $90. But the housings are not compatible with T889 and L900, so I would have to run the risk of damaging the LCD/Digitizer of the new one, just to switch it to my T889 housing.
What should I do? Should I mingle and see if someone has a screen they would like to trade? Should I mail it back to him and lose 35% in restocking fees? Should I turn around and sell it? I need my phone for my day to day life and my job. What would you guys do?

Did you use Paypal? If so just contact them about a FULL refund. There is no point in arguing with the guy if it is his fault. In my opinion I would contact the company you used to pay him especially if he is going to try and get a restocking fee out of you for his mistake, that is ridiculous.

Why would he confirm the screen after sending it out? Clearly, he has done this on purpose! Make a dispute claim with eBay and PayPal.

Touchscreen replacement

that is not possible, it is one part LCD and digticer

I'd of thought as the phone is so cheap buy another and use the old one for spares. The screen is bonded and made by LG what it's doing in a phone at this price is a miracle. It will cost you £50+to buy and then unless you have done it before....

LCD replacement

Well I seem to be the first one to break ground here. I am now the owner of a BLU r1 HD with a smashed lcd. It appears to be disintegrating as I go. So first, those of you who like this phone, I highly recommend some kind of case and screen protector. Secondly, anyone know where one might get a cheap replacement screen? Looking at ebay I can see one for pretty much the price of the phone. If anyone knows where to get a part, it would be appreciated as I was starting to like this phone.

Seems kind of high priced though

Oh yeah, saw that one previously. It doesn't seem to be available and even so, at that price I may as well buy a new one. Thanks though.

Except you can't buy a second Prime phone of the same model as one that you have purchased before.

You can buy a 8gb/1gb if you already purchased the 16gb/2gb model BUT they are no longer are listed in Amazon site.
I've not no luck with the glass screen protectors. The outer extreme don't stick. Only using a TPU case.

My screen is cracked, and was wondering if taking off the glass and putting on a case with built in screen protector can work? Any ideas?
LCD is working fine, just the glass is broken...
The phone bent in my back pocket.

The LCD is not meant to be touched and is easily damaged. I would try to buy another prime phone from amazon. If you find that you can't, because it won't allow it at the prime price, call customer service and explain the situation. Offer to send them pictures of the serial number screen showing the broken glass. At $60, it's simply not worth repairing. I bought a spare one by having a friend with prime order it and have it shipped directly to me - so that's another option you have if amazon still won't sell you another one.
