I've seen this asked, but never answered.
Is there a way to get a replacement case for the 02 IIs?
The clip that holds the battery on broke, my batterey is now taped on!! I'm pissed, just bought this unit, I'm in the US, so I have no way of sending it off to get fixed or anything like that.
Has this happened to anyone else and or does anyone have a fix?

Hi,
Is there anyone out there that can help me find a couple of parts for my XDA. Or If anyone knows a site i can get them from.
I'm looking for a replacement for the dark gray cover on top of the phone holding the Stylus Pen. Also the little spring that is inside this. Ever since i lost this the signal on the phone is crap. Takes forever to download emails and surf the web. Urgently need to find a replacement.
Thanks
The little spring is actually the antenna. If you are interested, I have a couple of spares I received in an auction. They all have some battle scars but are in tact and should work fine. You may also want to check http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm.
So I got one from a friend for a few hundred, and it went weird on me 6 months later. Seems some moisture got into the 4-way switch and caused it to fail. So I went on eBay and got another (sure like this phone). It suffered the same fate. Seems a bead or two (maybe a gallon or two) of sweat rolled off my face on a hot day and it is what caused the malfunction. Also, I couldn't get the BlueTooth to work right. I have these two units for sale. Two charging cradles, a universal case. I think that's all I have. Anyone interested? First reasonable offer takes it all. Don't say 2 bucks or anything stupid, for I'll just ignore you and act like I never saw your post. These phones would be good for parts. The screens are good. The bodies have a few scratches and dings. The keyboards are okay looking, but fully functional.
Let's hear it....
25 dollars for one
How about 75 takes everything?
only need one. heck i got a working one on ebay for only 100
Lemme think about it a bit. You may have a deal on your hands, though. If we do this, you pay the freight?
absolutely
I bought my Orbit 2 a couple of months ago and very happy with it , but just the other day the rubber ring on the scroll wheel disappeared, obviously it fell off somehow, the glue not strong enough i guess.
Rather than have to send my XDA back for repair and wait 10 days, i'd prefer to get the rubber ring and stick it on myself. The wheel still works, but not so effective without the friction of the rubber. Does anyone know where i may be able to get the part from?
thanks

Mines gone as well. Is it possible to get spares anywhere? Did you get yours sorted Rob?
I had a longlong chat with the support. They told me that I have to sent my phone in for repair (what takes rather long since I am living in Austria and now have to send it to Germany). I could kill HTC for this. All I need is that rubber.
you could check if there exists an "O-ring" seal that fit in the whell,
at least this is what I would do...
Ste
the same has happened to mine. I found mine on the floor ,didnt know what it was and binned it. a week later I noticed it was missing ion my orbit2 lol. o2 has told me you cannot buy spares ,and also even thought my orbit2 was only a month old,external parts not covered in the warranty .basically 60quid and a long wait if I want it repaired . I ain't happy .
Same has happened to mine and having previously owned an original Orbit. I prefer the originals ball roller compared to the ring & button on the Orbit 2.
Step back me thinks...
I bought 225 pieces of Rubber O-rings off ebay and some super glue and it is sorted for me. But then I sold the phone and bought my self a brand new one with the original ring. Any one needs link for the O-rings please let me know.
Same problem for me too... do you have that link for the o rings or has anyone managed to source the actual part?
Thanks,
Tom
My scroll wheel has fallen off.
Does anybody have any info/links for replacements?
Anybody successfully replaced their scroll wheel?
the same sh*t happend to me -> I called to to O2 authority, and they rejected my claims as it is external part. Then I came to one of the O2 stores in Saturn and withdrew the ring from the exhibition phone Ok, maybe its not that fair, but I see no other way
the overall build quality of the orbit 2 is poor in comparison to the origonal i find the whole thing verry plastiky i have also just got off the phone to O2 and have explaned that the rubber on the touch weel has come off and they wanted to send me a new phone lol i advised them a repair would be sufficant and they are sending me a returns bag to have the item fixed. i didnt even have to get angry just explaind the problem and that i have researched it on the net and found many otheres have had the same issue and the wonderfull lady just said sorry ill get this sorted for you. i couldnt beleve it all god customer service for me it seems lol
update they replaced the phone for me as i hadnt herd back from them regards return and i seem to have a spare unit as they sent the new one but it wasnt to be dispatched till they receaved the old one oops lol now how to fix that dam wheel ?????? lol
Hi guys,
I've managed to accidentaly scratch the back cover of my Desire right at the area of camera lens which causes my photographs to be very blurry and lacking of detail.
Since this is problem only on my back cover, I though I'd buy the new cover, but unfortunately I can't find any on the internet.
Do any of you happen to know where to buy these parts or would be someone willing to send me their back cover from for example broken Desires? If someone is doing a return, I could also swap mine back cover for theirs, I'd pay every postage of course and all.
Thank you very much and sorry for my English...
if you find no one to swap/sell them theirs then go to the official htc accessory shop to get one, quite expensive though
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com
Go to official HTC webpage, there is an accessory store and they sell backcovers for £15.99.
Thanks for the reply, I just found that link a minute ago (was searching for "back cover" instead of "battery cover" all the time), 20 € for product plus 10€for shipping seems a bit too much...
I'll just wait a day or two to see if I actually find someone to sell me theirs, then I'll buy the new one...
there is one on ebay:

Has anyone seen an original HTC Desire battery cover for sale at the moment!?
So, I've been so silly to drop my Mi 5S a little while ago and the glass of the front-side broke, together with a slight damage in the aluminium part of the phone.
Now, I happen to stumble upon one slight problem:
I bought my Xiaomi Mi 5S on eBay, importing it from the UK and their service said that if it breaks and it's outside of my warranty; I'll have to pay shipping costs.
I live in the Netherlands myself and I'm not the best at reparing smartphones myself.
So then, my question is...
What's the best option here?
I have a lot of repair shops asking me 150+ euro's and it could be better if I knew what part to order myself, because one shop said that they ask this much because the parts are hard and risky to get.
I would like an original replacement and I wouldn't know if it'd be a good idea to get it including a fingerprint scanner or not.
Could anyone advise me on this regard?
Some users mentioned that the fingerprint sensor will always break when replacing the screen. One even got ripped off eventually when a shop said it wouldn't break but they did break it anyway and still asked the full price. So yeah, definitely buy one with fingerprint scanner if you want to replace it yourself. Otherwise, don't really know anything about repairs unfortunately.
Goedemorgen landgenoot,
To be honest I'm surprised you actually found shops that knew what to do with the phone in the Netherlands. Haven't heard or seen anyone that ever saw the phone before.
With that in mind I don't think €150 is a bad price. The question is if it will actually be an official screen.
I strolled the internet myself beceause my screen has a small crack too. But I gave up. Also after seeing the videos of the DIY's it had put me off trying myself
Not much help, I know.
Good luck
