Hi
I was asked to replace a screen on this device 626 Desire (o2) i purchased a full screen / digitizer including the frame as well from amazon uk , it looks identical in every way apart from where the bottom speaker board clips in the blue rubber part will not pop in like on the old one upon looking at it the entire bottom moulding is different speaker board clips are incorrect , is there different models as even on other sites the fitments look just like the new one i recived completely wrong. I put the phone back together as customer needed it and completely forgot to take a photo.
has anyone come across this? or anyone know a place i can get a really good OEM part from maybe all these on sites are wrong but that cant be right can it!! or this phone i have is a fake (customer bought from o2 thou) cant see that either..

I ordered a full housing, case and front dpad from CNN.CN and it appears to me that the parts are NOT OEM as they claim to be.
The housing has a shiny back cover (like the front) instead of being rubbery and the HTC logo is not dead-on straight, it's crooked abit. Also the front cover does not have the origional HTC logo to the right (note: the camera hole is present, thus it's not made for a tilt).
Now I've also noticed on all the parts, except for the DPAD, have a small Cellular Nationwide Network (cnn) sticker, which would indicate to me the compnay itself manufactured the parts. Any ideas?
Here is a parts list i've ordered
http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-full-housing-p-2148.html (notice the glossy back)
http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-outer-keypad-p-2057.html
and for some reason the part 'HTC TyTN II/Tilt OEM LCD screen' is no longer present on their site.
Let me know what you guys think
Found another site:
http://www.gsm4world.us/shop/tytn-iikaiserp4450-c-210_297.html
I've ordered from cc.cn for other phones earlier and they've been OEM, but I dont think the TyTYn2 in OEM, the rear panel on my TyTn is rubbery while the one on cnn.cn looks shiny. THe one is gsm4world does'nt look OEM as the rubber GPS antennae port does'nt have GPS written on it, I guess OEM still has'nt come onto the market
Hmm it sucks i paid top-dollar for non-oem. Also like you mentioned, my case doesn't have the embeded "GPS" writing on the rubber cover either.
edit: but their customer service is excelent. They replied to emails within an hour and sometimes within 30 minutes. I got the items in 7 days, and i ordered it on the 26 (during holidays)
OK so after spending 2 hours installing the lcd and replacing the non-oem funny fitting front face, it looks like the job failed.
When i turn on my phone, the LCD lights up plain white. The phone works, i can receive calls, i hear the phone ring but i do not get a display. Any ideas?
I heard the LCD connector click when i pushed it into the board.
Disassemble, re-inspect, and re-seat all connections you can.
If that doesn't work then chances are more was damaged than you initially thought. I've never opened up my Kaiser, but thats just what I'd do.
bump bump
both link does not have a front cover w/out a front camera. are there anymore website?
has anyone bought an LCD for kaiser from cnn.cn? is it original (OEM)?
My htc desire is broken.. Its LCD amoled , touchscreen and housing is damaged. If i purchase it from CNN.cn website ... are they going to be the original parts? What do you think is the best solution to it, since my home country doesnt have a htc repair center and none has its spare parts
No problem with CNN.CN, they're reliable and parts are OEM.
Parts may be OEM manufacturer but quality & grade are not guaranteed !
I have seen housings from CNN that certainly were not OEM, bit of gamble but if options are limited one you might take !
I know the 6515 is an old phone but I like it. I had one when it 1st came out, and last weekend I found one at a local pawnshop/yardsale. The owner let me play around with it, I put my sim in and everything worked as it should. I bought it! Anyway the point of the post is, how hard is it to change the housing? Actually just the front Silver faceplate would suffice. The screen and back housing are in pristine condition, but the Silver part has several scratches/dings on the corners. I found a replacement Black housing on eBay, plus a couple of Black faceplates. I'm pretty good at taking stuff like this, I've changed housings on several regular phone. I'm just trying to get an idea of the complexity.
Thanks in advance.

hey, i understand you want to change the housing of ipaq 6515. it isnt really hard, but be sure to have the right tools including the screwdrivers and phone opener(really important) because i tried without it and ended up breaking the screen. other than that, once you open it be sure to avoid pullin too hard because there is a vibrator motor connected to it. if you want to see a video, there is one on youtube.
it is quite easy .
below are links for instructions for how to change your hw6515 housing

Hi,
After a crash screen accident, I bought a black housing for my G2 and I ran into different problems...:
-I gave the broken phone to a shop to replace the screen and gave them my black housing in order to replace the white one. They gave me back the phone. everything works, except gps: no detection. The shop told me it was due to my 'fake' housing but I suspect an antenna problem? how can I test that? someone could tell me where is that antenna?
-I've noticed that screws were missing inside the housing.... first I suspected an error from the shop... and I saw that in fact there was one screw broken in its place... I should replace them, but dont know which type of screw I have to buy (on the pic below, it corresponds to the red circles). And should I buy only the screw , or the screw and the small metallic part going with it (that is on the back side of the housing), and where to find this kind of screws...
Don't know it's really clear, but hope that someone could help me....
Thanks

Hi, I recently got my HTC One (m7 / at&t) as a graduation present in June. Unfortunately I recently dropped it face down without its case onto the ground and resulted in a large crack(s) on the screen. I can still use the device, text, talk, watch videos etc.. but as you can obviously tell one does not simply enjoy the pleasure of having their phone(s) screen cracked.
So I immediately began looking for a solution and repair shops said 300$ to fix when I purchased my phone for just a little over 300$. So that is out of the question, unless its truely my last resort. So I began looking on how to fix it, youtube failed me the only thing that was helpful were the breakdown videos of the HTC One teaching me how to take apart the phone (The only part I was interested in was on taking out the glass).
The only solution I currently can think of would to repair it myself. So here are my questions.
1) The screen is cracked only, the touch screen works fine etc.. so can someone show me the listing on ebay/amazing (I prefer amazon) of the kit or things I would need to fix it.
I Saw this one:
amazon /HTC-M7-screen-digitizer-replacement/dp/B00CWKGZ5U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1376517625&sr=8-5&keywords=HTC+One+Glass
Because it looks like exactly what I Need, BUT I'm no expert so would that fix my problem? Or is it the wrong thing since all I need is the glass and thats the "Digitizer Outter Glass" or something? I dont know my terms that well but to me it seems like what I need because its the "Outter Glass" haha.
But I'm confused about that because it says Digitizer outter glass and in the picture has the connection cord thing, Would this be replacing every part having to deal with the screen? (i.e I take a suction cup and take out the screen, and unplug the connection from the phone to the screen, would what I having in my phone (cracked screen with cord..) be the same thing as what Ill be ordering from that amazon thing but NOT cracked?)
-----------
2) How would I replace it step by step? I already seen videos of taking the phone apart and replacing iPhone screens but I havent seen any towards the HTC One in regards to replacing the screen. So would someone mind pointing me in the right direction, or giving me a text tutorial on what to do? I can pretty much figure it out by reading it since I have videos n pictures to compare it to sorta.
-----------
3) I never done a repair before but it doesnt seem that hard, just have to be gentle and know what youre doing (Thus why im asking so many questions), is this my best option? Or what should I do...
-----------
4) When I seen videos regarding the iPhone screen replacement it was showing things like Screen Seal / and him literally taking off the glass from the this other thing and replacing just the glass itself instead of the thing below it.
Would I have to also use a type of screen seal / or have to take glass off like you would do in the iPhone or is it a 100% different conecpt / idea?
----------
Remember: I basically need to know what I need to fix the cracked screen of my phone, I think this is what i need:
amazon /HTC-M7-screen-digitizer-replacement/dp/B00CWKGZ5U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1376517625&sr=8-5&keywords=HTC+One+Glass
So if it is, then may someone tell me how to replace my phones cracked screen using that and explain it to me what im actually doing and watch each part is etc.. (like what im buying and whats cracked with my phone, so I know its what I need)
and if not, can someone tell me what I need and how to do it?
PS I understand I cant post outside links, but its amazon and Im not trying to advertise i just need the link as a comparison / example
This is one of the worst phones created when it comes to repair. It is well made, but ease of repair was not their priority. The only thing I can recommend to you would be to go to the Ifixit web site. They do a tear down of the phone to show how hard it is to repair. Maybe that will help you out.
Edit: In your original post, you wrote that you had watched videos on the Iphone. Since this is a different phone with differences in assembly, I suggested a video concerning this specific phone. Not trying to be rude, but if I was taking apart my HTC, I would view specific videos concerning my phone. I thought that the specific video might give you clues as to the parts involved in assembly and what procedures were necessary. The video I was referring to concerned their taking apart an HTC One. Every bit of information might be helpful to you trying to fix your problem.

Not being rude but I'm pretty sure I already stated the fact that I seen the videos and tutorials regarding the tear down of the phone. So how do you expect that to "maybe" help me out? If I'm trying ti find out the part(s) I need to replace since I don't know the full termology.
I know how to take my phone apart (For the most part), I Just need to know mainly what I need to replace to fix my cracked screen, or whats my best solution. + The questions i stated in the thread.
Thank you.
Unfortunately you will have to change the whole screen assembly.
This will cost you a little ... http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc...itizer-assembly-with-front-housing-white.html
You could try also just the LCD+ digitizer (if the front aluminum parts are still intact: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly.html
If you scratched the back of the phone, those guys have the back assembly also ... about 24 USD ... ( http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-housing.html )
You could TRY replacing only the digitizer ( http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-digitizer-touch-screen.html ) but I would not go there. In between the digitizer (what is actually cracked in your case) and the lcd there is a special "jelly" glue which is VERY hard to remove w/o breaking the LCD. I tried that on a N7 and now I'm waiting for a new LCD to be delivered ...
Good luck!
Thank you, I appreciate the reply.
My casing / housing isnt broken (The cracks start from the top of the screen right below the camera/speakers where the glass is, and the crack(s) end towards the HTC Logo etc..) so should I still buy the white housing with lcd+digitizer or should I just go with the second option and buy the digitizer+lcd without the housing (second link you gave me)

Let us know how it went. :good:
Not sure if it's worth it. HTC will fix it for you somewhere around $180.

Hi,
I posted a lengthy thread on how to do a repair here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387992
Did it well over a month ago and it is still running fine.
You might want to call you household insurance, and tell them someone in your household (not you) dropped the phone while cleaning for example.
Here in the Netherlands, they will pay the repair even the same day.
I didn't had to send them anything, just tell them on the phone how much the reparations would cost, and they transfered the complete numeber right away!
Too bad I found that out after spending more than $100,- on phone reparations.
It might be worth the shot, since they may reimburse it for you.
Hi all!
I bought a HTC One M7 with a cracked screen dirt cheap from a friend and am hoping to repair it myself and I've had a look around the q&a forums but anyone that references to genuine or "OG" HTC parts doesn't specify where you can actually order them from, I'd be looking for both speakers, lcd screen, digitizer and front speaker covers but am pretty unsure of which parts are actually legitimate on the internet.
Any help guys?
TIA

Screen repair here, fairly cheap and apparently 100% genuine, saves you a lot of hassle, i.e, breaking it apart and re-sealing it, plus the possibility of damaging other parts, also ring them and ask if they can replace the other parts for you.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repair-Re...410?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19f93950c2
if not then the speakers are here, cheap as chips, you could always ask the LCD company, if you send the speakers with the phone, if they wouldn't mind changing them at the same time, it would take them 2 mins whilst they have it apart.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...m7+speakers&_nkw=htc+one+m7+speakers&_sacat=0
for the covers, depends on colour, but heres an idea:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Top-F...sPouches&var=460531438066&hash=item2594a951a1
All for less than £100, cant really beat that for the whole front end of the phone.
If you are going to replace the screen might I suggest you order an entire front housing with digitizer and screen and back housing. You will destroy your phones body when you open it. Order those parts and follow the complete breakdown and reassembly videos on YouTube. They are all good.
Is it hard to change just back cover?

Personally I wouldn't take the risk of opening it all up myself, inside is extremely fragile and the motherboard connections for instance is as easy to rip in half as a piece of cloth, I destroyed a HTC Desire HD whilst trying to change the LCD and Digitalizer and the back of that was screwed on, the HTC One series is 10 times harder to open up.
