Broken Cover

Goodday XDA members and Wings Owners,
I have a Wings myself allthough i am verry disapointed in the worthless quality of the phone, no gps, ram issue, and bad cover. The other day when i slided out my keyboard there broke a piece of my cover just on the side of the screen. There are also bursts in this place next to the screen, i returned it for warranty but its 13 months old. So the phone company told me to mail HTC what takes ages before you get a response.
Annyway i want my cover fixt with or without warranty.
Does someone know this problem or HAS it?
A relpy would be nice thanks.

Your best bet is finding a replacement housing for the S730, which are on ebay for like $40.
I must say that my S730 still is in perfect shape, but I handle mine really careful.

yes i have the same problem ....where i can find on ebay????

if you search on ebay
s730 full housing
you will find some cover (pad, keyboard,slider,front,back and display) at 40~60 dollars from honk kong.
i'd like to get one dark grey (like the atmos or softbank) but i cannot assemble it

out of curiosity, once i purchase the housing cover from ebay, how is it that it is applied on the phone?
glue?, screws? .....something i could do? or look for a guy at the flea market?...........i am about to buy the covers.....but am kinda skeptical

Ive been wondering the same, i got two htc wings with broken cover..
How do you put it togheter? anyone knows?

so i ordered the cover for 40$ from hong kong (it includes some cheap plastic tools also, one that looks like a plastic popsicle stick with several bends, another weird small scredw driver).....the package arrived at my doorstep 6 days later, I went to the guy at the mall with a cart/booth full of phone **** but said he could do it for 30$ and would take an hour...............2 hours later i returned to him telling me that taking apart the keyboard and back cover would be too delicate for him and could mess it up....all in all, he replaced the front cover, keypad and gave me a screen (from an old S720).....the face of my phone is flawless (except for one miniscule piece of sawdust)......the battery cover is also flawless ......i only have one small scuff mark over by the camera button........other than that im also lovin HTC BLACK by DJ OUB !!!
I recently bought this phone on ebay for 105$ with a busted cover, 40$ for the faceplate, and 30$ for the service ........i'll keep this s730 for a while....tho i also have my eye on the s740....is that much different?

i like very much the s740, but it is so expansive
but it is totally different from the wings, more slim, more light, stylish black chassis, the sliding qwerty is opposit respect the wings, it has RAM 256MB!!
of course it is the perfect slidephone, but it is expansyve...

wow, $60 is quite profitable, if you can show me the picture of the ebay auction, I think I could get the same one for u at xda-developer special price
But anyway, accessories for Wings is quite hard to find here in HK, I have been looking for a plastic protective case for it but I could only find some in Taiwan... and out of stock eventually

here is a pic of the phone housing cover i bought on ebay to replace my busted faceplate.....shipped from hong kong, mind you, the guy who fixed my phone only used the FACEPLATE and battery cover....apparently the keyboard half of it is very delicate and has very small delicate parts....who knows, maybe he was scared to try it...

about the case for it....im currently using a generic one thats padded to death, im takin care of this phone....we're in a recession so i recently ordered the most inexpensive phone case for the s730 that i saw for 10$:
i also got my eyes on this metal one tho too (
) its gonna be like 25$ with shipping and all....any thoughts
here are other cases i saw up for bids....do u guys have any of these?:

the metal case is super!! but our wings are really fat... and with that case i'm afraid that it cannot enter in my slim jeans pockets!!!
(sorry for the ot)

What about the small speaker on the backside of the frontcover, was that included in the full housing package you bought on eBay? It seems impossible to move that speaker from one front cover to another due to the rubber with glue going apart when dismounting it from the cover.
Update: I can see the the service manual for the S710 (Vox) that HTC calls this part for "Receiver". Strangely they doesn't write a part no. in the service manual for that specific part. I would REALLY like to have the service manual for the S730, but I can't find it anywhere...

[Q] Where to get new x1 genuine hosing online ?

My silver x1 housing is now full of scratches and the known cracks (under the volume buttons and beside the powering), so i'm considering buying a new original black housing ...
If anyone got to buy one online, please suggest me good insured places to shop from..
Thanks in advance

http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-c-28_638.html

Would it be possible to buy the dummy phone from http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-xperia-c-28_638.html and use that housing? It would be alot cheaper that way.

Dummy phone .... dummy housing

I bought the black housing for my silver X1 from mobile.brando.com, since my back housing was crack, and sonyericsson Jakarta (indonesia) don't provide the replacement casing (at least should waiting arroung 1 month) and not giving warranty for the crack housing, although it is SE fault as mention in other thread.
It took about 2 weeks until I got it the housing (mobile.brando.com is in hongkong, and I'm in Jakarta).
The housing is not complete with bolt covers (2 small parts located above the camera) and the battery cover does not have X1 sticker.
It consists of Front & Back Housing, battery cover, and keyboard.
See it on their website.
So i combine the silver and the black housing. Front is silver, back is black, with silver battery cover, silver stylus, and silver bolt covers.
It seems very attractive combination.

I do not know, but I've painted mine silver ones with my wife's black nail polish and after they dried I gave 'em a coat of clear hardener (thanks love :* ).
cheap skates, am I not??

Nice, I used spray paint and spray-on enamel, but it wrinkled just a little, it's fine, though. I might sand and redo later. Did the nail polish come out smoothly?

I bought a black case off of ebay, I gave it a good look over when it arrived and it looks and feels just like its oem.
Now im just waiting on my ribbon cable which is taking for ever to arrive

Case Mate case Official

Looks like case mate made official their case for the samsung focus (other than just by the AT&T store: http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Focus-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Focus-Pop-Cases.asp
EDIT (on 11-01-2010):
Just received the black version from case-mate. The reason for the case being 30$-ish, it includes a screen protector kit. I can defenitively tell that the black version looks slicker than the red one. But that's a mater of personal taste. I mean it's slicker in a way that it look like it's more *part* of the phone, meaning its less obvious that you have a case on it. Anyway that's my 2 cents

Pretty nice, but 35 bucks??? lol Otterboxes go for that much.

I have the red version (ordered on ebay) and it's really great, not too soft and harder in the back, I don't mind paying that much for a case, when I paid several hundreds for my phone.

I've got a red one on order... What do you think of it? I have seen a video review but it sucks...

I really like it, it's really great and makes handing the phone better (grip is better).
It does makes the phone a little bit heavier and bulkier, but I mean thats normal it's a case
I can take some shot of it if you want!

35 bucks....

$90 can you say RAPE?

I purchased the red pop case when i bought the phone and it was a nice case. Very sturdy but an extremely tight fit. So tight that when I tried to pry out my phone one day a small platic piece right under the micro usb cutout broke. The phone certainly pops out when you pullllllll it out. Either way iam dissapointed I wasted $35 bucs on that case but very content with my body glove snap case.
On a side note how efffed up is it that otterbox make a case the dell venue, which by the way hasnt had a wide release, and hasnt made one the the focus? Makes no sense...

This guy is selling them for about 22.00 has 275 of them lol
How do you guys like the way the buttons stick up? Are you hitting them by accident? Does it help in preventing hitting the camera or power button by accident?

I bought the Red case-mate on Cyber Monday when they were 50% off from AT&T site. I couldn't resist taking advantage of this deal and I needed some decent protection for my Focus. Although I kinda like the case, I might get the Otterbox when it comes out . My setup right now is this case with a Zagg InvisibleShield. I use Cat Crap paste lens cleaner to keep the screen clean and slick. Any case you buy is going to be a balance of form, fit, function, and price.
Form - This is a area of taste for most and differs widely between people. In general, I'd say this case provides reasonable protection at a relatively slim design and light weight. It feels good in your hand and is attractive. Not being a big fan of colored cases, the red is actually attractive (can't believe I'm saying that). Had the black one been available at the time, I would have definitely gone with that one. But the red is masculine and I can live with it. Agree with cubanaso about the delicacy of the small plastic strip between microusb port and front of phone (screen). This went under extreme stress when I put the phone in and I thought I was going to break it (most likely because I didn't put it in the best way). Thankfully it flexed but didn't break. My suggestion would be to pay the most attention to this area when installing phone. Because of the shape of the phone, the natural instinct is to put the bottom side in the case first. Might want to try putting the top side in first and flex the bottom instead .
Fit - snug fit and definitely isn't going anywhere. Feels like a part of the phone. I actually removed it to instal microusb card, then put it back it. It is a challenge, but not impossible. Like I stated before, you have to be super sensitive to the case's thin plastic strip near microusb port. Overall fit is excellent if you don't plan on taking it on and off.
Function - I've actually dropped it from about 5 feet and it was fine. No damage to case of phone. I'd say the protection level is above average but not Otterbox Defender level. It is probably comparable to the Otterbox commuter series. Minor scratches to back of phone, but still looks relatively new after a month. As far as the buttons go, the case-mate setup actually works quite well. The protrude just the right amount to where you know where they are without having to look at the phone. I can feel the correct orientation of my phone and upright it without looking at it. Big plus. But they take just enough intentional push to where I have yet to accidentally turn off the phone. Not even once. The execution of the buttons (and the side grip as a whole) is probably the biggest plus of the case-mate Pop! Case. Who knows, if Otterbox takes to long, I just may stick with the Pop! Case. I'm not a huge fan of a Red case (by any manufacturer), but this one is actually a good one and is starting to grow on me.
Price - As of right now, I wouldn't pay retail for this case. There was a time when this was the only decent case imo and it was only offered on AT&T site. This is not the situation anymore. Here is another site where it is discounted:

Got in the $10 red one today by USPS.

What I need now is a leather belt case that will hold it and close fully since it now measures 129mm x 69mm x 15.5mm with this case on it. My original size was 123mm x 65mm x 10mm.

In the process of taking a picture of the sd card for another thread here on the focus site under general, I took off the case to get to the memory card.
When I was putting the Case Mate back on, one end of the thin part broke. This is definitely a weak spot in the design.
Did you remove it (the red strip) completely, and if so did you cut away the rubber gasket or leave that?

i left the rubber there. The thin red strip makes it so hard to remove the case but without it, the rubber there can expand for easy removal.

How did I recovered the original look of my Note 4?

Well, I love how my Note 4 looks. But I (and everyone) hate how it looked two days after I bought it. SCRATCHES, SCRATCHES EVERYWHERE. I didn't thought it that much. I picked up my car polisher and started rubbing all the frames of it, not even the chamfered edges. After that the phone looked absolutely amazing, with shinny chromed edges and a glossy, premium feeling white stripe instead of the matte one. 3 months after I've got it; the edges began to get black and oxydize (very litle holes on it). The polisher only removed the black tint of it still have that rustic feel on it. So I took a product that it's called "CiF" here in Argentina. It's a highly abrassive polisher that works for almost everything in your house (Kitchen, electrodomestics, car parts, etc) and started with it:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that, the chromed edges now looked gray, like unpainted, but these little holes were dissapeared!
Then I took my car polisher, to give the chrome look back again. This time I used another cream which seems to be less abrassive and applies (I don't know if it's true or not) a protective coat on it:
Sonax it's a pretty famous german company that's one of the best polisher brands in the world, yes it's expensive, but does his job very well.
After almost 2 hours rubbing my phone, it started to shine..
(note: the back part of the phone were almost 100% black. Notice how it looks now)
So, my phone now looks like new yet again. I have some warnings for you:
-Don't rub your phone so much with an abrassive product: It could damage it
-Cover your screen with tape BEFORE doing this process: Abrassive products damages the oleophobic coating that the gorilla glass have.
-Put your battery out of the phone so no energy is on it: Any abrassive product is liquid and higly conductive. If mistakenly enters a bit of it on the USB jack, it could make a circuit break and make your phone unusable
-Be sure to clean all the ports and microphones before turning your phone on again
-DON'T USE FAKE COVERS. If the original Spigen scratches your device, don't think about a fake one. I have one, it's a S**************T and destroyed my device, still some huge scratches are there and no polisher can remove them. Here's a pic, notice the bad quality of the plastic and "NEO HIB RYD" typo:
Well that's my little story, I hope this will help to anyone who wants to make his Note 4 shinny again! Good luck!

back glass replacement

Hello everyone,
So my p20 pro back glass just broke :crying:
anyone have any idea how to replace it and how much the replacement should cost ?
Thanks!

I feel your pain! My rear lens just smashed. No idea how it happened. Was fine this morning. Checked phone at lunchtime and it's smashed !? It's the lens over the middle camera. Phone's only been in my pocket (not with keys etc.) or padded phone pocket in bag.
I can not find any replacment parts for sale. Huawei quoted 100 or so pounds to repair the lens, as they replace the entire back cover, so I guess that would be the cost for you too
Whilst googling for spare parts I came across sites complaing how difficult the phone was to repair and how easy it is to damage.
Guess i'll need to find a case that protects those camera lenses better.

100£ :crying:
I found this one on aliexpress
aliexpress[.]com/item/Original-GLASS-For-Huawei-P20-PRO-Back-Battery-Cover-Rear-Door-Housing-Case-Glass-Panel-Replacement/32883939820.html but I'm not so sure if I'm capable to replace it myself...
Only the lens it's cheaper tho : aliexpress[.]com/item/For-Huawei-P-20-pro-p20-pro-Replacement-Back-Rear-Camera-Lens-Glass-For-Huawei-P20pro/32872094518.html

Thanks for the links.
The lens looks interesting but I hope that pic isn't accurate, because it doesn't seem right.
On my phone the bevels around each camera are a different size, and there are two more holes for the lazers range finder things?

Yeah I just check mine, I guess this lens is not for the pro version

I just ask a Huawei's Service center :
The original one is about 90€ + 30€ fee = about 120€ :crying:

I've found a lens cover on ebay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lots-OEM...-For-Huawei-P20-P20-Lite-P20-Pro/113025697876
And from the same place, a glass back:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-OEM-...ver-Rear-Case-For-Huawei-P20-Pro/123167686147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhfzXeLu55k

I bought one yesterday. The rear panel should arrive in about 2 weeks.
I'll let you know

In regards to replacing parts on the this phone, if you need a tear down and i'm guessing you will, to retain it's waterproofing and your warranty, i'd either get Huawei to complete the works and or your insurance, if you have it.
Unless you're a wizard with phones i wouldn't even attempt it.

Not sure if this pics are going to work, but I've just replaced mine.
I ordered a few lenses and they arrived today. Relatively quick post given they came from so far away! (I'd ordered the quicker postage).
The procedure is the same as most phones these days. Sticky tape over the lens and peel off to get most of the broken glass off. Heat with a heat gun for a short while so it's hot to the touch. Then very carefully pick the glass off, holding the phone sideways to it doesn't drop in the lens. I did this over some newspaper to catch the broken fragments, then rolled the paper up and threw it away as soon as the glass was removed (otherwise it gets everywhere).
I used an air duster to get rid of any fragments.
Then I stuck the supplied adhesive over the lens, and stuck the new lens on.
Quick test and everything seems to work. Focusing, clarity of pics all seems fine.
You're probably right about the waterproofing though to be honest I wouldn't trust it underwater anyway, I just think of it as more splash proof in case of an accident, and I'm sure that's still fine. The new lens seems is a good fit and seems to be attached in just the same way the old one was.

Mine just arrived today. Very good quality, the look and feel is the no less than origin.
But I doubt it's original. CE logo and some text next to Huawei logo (model ..) is not there.
I don't think I can't change it my self, I guess I'll go to a repair shop this afternoon :cyclops:
For the warranty I expect it to be voided anyway... paying ~120€ is too much (1/6 telephone price...)
Here some image :laugh:

Looks good @midnightsmurf, where did you find that back panel? Makes me wonder if i could use it to swap out my one at a later date

Cool @midnightsmurf, if you could share the source, that would be great. I like the cleaner look without the CE logo much better.

I bought the rear from aliexpress . On aliexpress there are some cheaper one tho.
So the repair store's guy replaced it for me for 9€. I'm actually quite happy with the result:
Sorry for the image's resolution, I took it with my other phone

Looks sick, might actually buy that as I like twilight.
How the fitting going? Sounds like a massive ballache to fix it and retain water proofing
Edit: omg just read your last post. 9 euro haha that's insane, must be quite easy then, must just be heat to remove it.
Fair play

Hi
i want to ask you
The YouTube videos teardown show that the original case comes with a flex cable for the camera, this cable is linked to a body port for camera zoom
did the case that you bought come with this cable? (i bought one on eBay but it doesn´t come the flex cable)
does you have notice any changes in the camera performance after the replacement?
Best regards

I bought a replacement (just in case... you know...) from eBay and it seems to be an original chinese part. No CE logo of course (it's not necessary there) but the model number states AL-..... and some text in chinese. I actually like it better because the CE logo is distracting - in my opinion.

The cable is linked with the sensor I think. Mine doesn't have the sensor in it. The guy who replace it for me must have used the old sensor one.
Here a picture of the broken part. And for your question, I'm not 100% sure but I didn't notice any different.
