Hi, I'm from Portugal and I have an O2 Orbit and I need a new housing cover, but since the O2 isn't on sale in Portugal I was wondering if it is possible to use an HTC P3300 cover instead??? Anyone tried this already???
I might be able to help.
is the cover your after for the battery.. if so pm me and i can send you one out. its an old one i had from my old uk 02 Orbit. Im not sure if the p3300 will fit. maybe some one else can help you, but I dont mind sending it out ya,it's just sat here doing nothing, its is a little worn on the silver bits but better than nothing
mavisdavis - Actually I was thinking about the whole cover, battery front and back, but in fact the worst part is the battery cover... If you say you have a battery cover that you don't use and it isn't any trouble to you to send it to me, I'll sure be thankful!!! I'll pay for the ports of course... If so PM me, ok???
Nevertheless my question remains, is it possible to use a P3300 cover in a O2 Orbit???
Thanks in advance
Hugo Costa
The answer to your question is YES, the P3300 housing does fit the xda Orbit, I had one on mine, I still have it and can sell it to you ?
Again thank you very much for your reply, Think I'll be trying one then...
Jester01 - Also thank you very much for your offer but I think the postal costs will be too high to make it worth sending the cover from UK to Portugal...
Nevertheless PM me with your offer, we never know...

Can't imagine postage to be that much, as these are very light, I would accept £30.00 gbp for it, it is in very good condition and I will include 3 stili as they are different to the orbit one's.

How can you that? XDA Orbit have a locker for the Battery cover, and the p3300 doesnt have, so the extUSB is not in the same position

Sorry to say, but it's the same mother board, so check before you post !
And I've had a p3300 oem HTC housing on my orbit for the past few months, yes you are correct with the battery lock, but that's an addition 02 have added.
does it work vise-versa too? will a xda orbit housing fit with no-hassle on a p3300??
thanx

Couldn't say for definate, but logic states it should as I said I have an Orbit, and used a p3300 housing on it, so there is no reason why it shouldn't work the other way round.
You are just using the components inside and none of the phones original plastics, i.e. you only swap the motherboard, lcd, vibration motor, front earpiece and rear speaker.
You have to also use a different stilus, as they are shaped on the end different.
Hope this helps.

Case: Artemis vs XDA Orbit
As far as I see from this picture and my Artemis in my hand cases seem to be fully exchangeable... Anyone knows for sure?

Jester01: Thank You pal! Now I would buy XDA's one, 'cause I like it better ^^
I tried fitting the p3300 housing (bought from ebay) on my o2 xda and i couldn't do it, i don't know how but it just wouldn't fit and i could see the housing was bulging unnaturally in various places. I got a replacement xda housing set which fit perfectly.
the version i bought from ebay didn't have the side buttons and there are various bits in the back plate - speaker, vibrate device etc which you need to remember to take out and put in the new one.
also, i seem to be getting very poor reception now, i don't know if this is because i've changed the rom (tried oops, touch 4.02 and rolled back the radio version) or perhaps I damaged the antenna somehow by changing the housing?? - anyone with experience?
thanks.

May I ask how much did you pay for that new housing?
For your question, I "guess" that because the housing doesn't fit perfectly, the antenna parts (a metal plate that stick with the body part of the housing) are not attached well to the connector of the phone board. So the signal would be bad.
I said "guess", because I have an experience like this before with my Siemens M55
Oh, one more question which I need to know a lot. Does the front plate (not the battery cover or antenna cover - which of course I knew it's made of plastic) made of Aluminum or plastic?

Thanks, I'll open it up and take a look at the connections - maybe the screws need a bit more tightening.
They both cost around £25 and it's all made of plastic - painted plastic although the XDA case is certainly better quality than the htc design.
I still have the HTC housing which is 'as new'. I'll sell it for £20 if anyone's interested.
How to open the XDA Orbit
Hi,
I would like to change the housing of my XDA Orbit too. But I only found disassembly instructions for HTC P3300 and this instructions did not work. I cant remove the plastic part which covers the gps, gsm and wlan antenna.
Can someone give me a hint or provide disassembly instructions.
Kind regards,

I did find some instructions by googling, I think the trick is to peel off the rear part by levering the stylus in it's port.

I was curious if anybody had tried to use the camera module from an Audiovox 6600 in a Siemens SX66.
From what I can tell the Siemens SX66 has all of the connectors already but it just has a piece of plastic in place of the camera module.
Anybody out there who has successfully plugged a camera module in a Siemens SX66?
I did it! I've got a XDAIII from German, It's like Siemens because It lacks camera, so I bought both camera and back plastic cover from an ebay seller, I disassembled my XDAIII and I put the camera on it. It works great!!

I have spent hours searching all over the net/ebay and cannot find anything about adding a camera to an XDAIII. Did you buy this camera from someone that has many of them or was it the only one for sale. I would like to do this if it's possible.
What i found was an auction for the back plastic cover of SPV M2000, the same seller out the ebay network sold me the camera and other parts too.

Honestly, I wouldnt bother with it. The blueangel camera is pretty bad. Indoor shots dont even bother unless you have super lighting...
BA Camera Mod Ebay info
All i did was search for the Audiovox PPC-6600 or vx6600
PPC-6600 is from Sprint
vx6600 is from verizon
my total cost on the unit was $54 including fedex it will be here next week.
My EBay Supplier is EBay Store "Sundaysseconds"
They have lots of the vx6600's
and in bulk they have 50 ppc-6600's for about $1500 they have individual listings as well. They like paypal, but my stupid bank is a bunch of jackoffs and wont do the paypal verification process, so i had to call my order in.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14418&item=6480714906
The seller sold me the camera part, so if you want it, u have just to ask!
for only 5gbp I can replace my used keyboard too (it's attached to blueangel with glue :shock: ok but if u'r patient u can do it! ) (U must do it also if you wanna change the sliding part of your blue angel ... the one that every blue angel owner hate!)
write me for any question.

Camera Update
Its kewl.
Ok My Verizon XV6600 came in yesterday so i was prompt and impatient and tore it apart , It is the same form factor but it is not a BlueAngel, its a Harrier mainly the difference between the GSM and CDMA model i think.
The Blue Angel Models did not come with a flash, the Harrier did, so if i want that to work im going to have to think of something incredibly intelligent to mod it to work, since where the power connector for the Harrier is on the Blue Angel its ascrew hole that apparently needs the screw in or it wont boot up, or something.
Ok the Camera Module Slid in perfectly to the connector and the Antannae plate from the Harrier works fine. I had to use an exacto and cut open the sim card port from the Harrier backplate to fit on the BlueAngel but it worked fine.
I will take pictures of the 2 units side by side and let you know how it works and the differences.

I don't have any new rear covers at the moment, but do have the camera modules for £20 plus shipping ( £2 UK, £5 ROW) and I'll include a used rear plastic cover with the hole in it for free.
Richard.
Ok, I received the camera and back today. Installed both. Curretly I am running 1.40.125 precooked ROM from the SX66 standardization project. Is it possible to get the camera working with this ROM? If not what options do I have.
If you add the camera files to the 1.40.125 extrom and modify config.txt accordingly, it should work. You could probably figure it out by comparing the SX66 project ROM to a similar PDA2K version from the FTP site.

Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce the availability of replacement casings for the HTC Prophet (I-mate JamIn, Qtek S200, XDA Neo or dopod 818pro), in a range of colours (light grey, dark grey, blue, black, pink ... see the attached photo).
So, if your Prophet has been damaged, or you are just looking for a change of style, feel free to PM me. The faceplates (front, camera and battery panel) are ONLY US$15 plus shipping (the delivery cost depends where in the world you want it shipped to). Your Prophet will look like new!
The complete case (front, battery, camera panels, mid section, buttons, and windows sticker) are US$30 plus shipping. The stylus and front button panel are sold separately.
I can also offer replacement batteries, chargers, screen protectors etc. Let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do.

Can you post better pictures?
Are they brand new?
Do they have carriers branding?
And your web site's address is ?

Very interested...
Does it include the following:
front plate
mid section
back plate
battery cover
keypad
I would like to have stylus too...
How much would all these cost?

I don't have a website address just yet. I should have one up and running within the next two weeks.
The website will offer just about every replacement part available for just about every pda / mobile phone. However, it will take quite a long time to get all the inventory onto the site. I'll let you know as soon as it's operational.
EDIT: new website address is http://www.phoneystore.com

The model shown in the picture only has the front and back panels (includes the battery cover / camera area). If you would also like a mid section, a stylus and a keypad, it will cost $20. I have attached a picture but it's not very clear, so I will upload a new one in a day or so.
These covers are not sold as the "genuine" brand covers, however they are usually made in the same factory. All products are checked before they are shipped to ensure they are good quality.
1. Are they made of the same material as the original cover? (hard metal)
2. Do you accept Paypal? How's the payment done?
3. What will it cost for shipping to norway (europe)?
Do you have a white one? non silvered. I mean, something like apple.
Yeah, what is the paying method?
THANKS!

3. To Norway is approximately US$8 by AirMail.

well, mine is made from metal too
The front on mine is metal, cause I have dropped it and it is dented, and I managed to bend it back somewhat. The battery cover is plastic. I am not sure about the camera cover, I think it is plastic and some pain chip is wearing off. So seller, could you clearify:
Front piece is metal or plastic.
Does the $15 set include the chrome parts? (the 2 circle on back, front speaker, and 2mp lettering on back).
What is the price for the keypad, and what color choice do you have for them. I've seen silver ones, black with one chrome button, black with 3 chrome buttons.
If you could edit your first post to clarify, would be helpful thanks. I am also looking for the no carrier logo/lettering covers.
Yes, my Qtek S200 front panel is definitely metal.
The photo you post for the front, mid, back, battery cover plus stylus seems to be for O2 xda II mini/Qtek S100/htc Magician/imate Jam... Please confirm that you also have the same package fit for O2 xda Neo/Qtek S200/htc prophet/imate Jamin.
What would be the shipping cost to Hamilton, New Zealand?

I have updated the first post with additional photos.
You were right. The front plate is metal, but the backing plates are plastic. The $15 set includes the chrome plating on the camera etc.
The $20 set is basically the same as the $15 set but includes a stylus and is in a nicer box.
I checked with the supplier and a full case is available (see first post) including front and back plates, stylus, buttons (camera, power, volume, comm manager, front panel with three chrome buttons), windows mobile sticker for the back. However it is more expensive. US $30 for the set.

You're right. The photo is for the XDA II, however I also have the same pack for the Neo/S200/Prophet/Jamin. If you don't need the stylus, the $15 face plates are better value.
I also have a cool stylus available. It's a stylus with a pen inside (the tip of the stylus unscrews to reveal the pen). Is quite useful when you can't find a pen around. It's US $7 (picture attached).
Postage to New Zealand (and almost all destinations) is US $8. The postage is only ever higher if you live in hard to reach places.
hello,
there is a cheap offer for XDAIIs touchscreens on ebay.
i have a XDAIII - not a XDAIIs - i have a PB20B1 (board id 5) - not a PH20B.
does somebody know, if this touchscreen would work on my device ?
thank you!
xda 3 and 2s are the same model.
it´s just the provider name.
(the "real" name is HTC BlueAngel)
in germany its called xda 3 and in usa and england it is called 2s.
but thera are 2 different display types for the Blueangel !
watch the wiki
hello,
i readed the wiki: ok IIs and III should both be board ID 5 - and so they should both have the sony display.
but: the seller says for IIs and for PDA2K ! pda2K would be board ID 6 - so it's not the sony display ?
i don't get it ? does he not know, what he's talking about - or are the displays different - but the touchscreen the same ?
do you know ?
thank you very much.
that should help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD
hello,
actually the wiki does not really answer my question.
i only want to buy the touchscreen-digitizer (only the glass and the digitizer-foil) - not the whole LCD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201516276
Since the sellers at ebay can't tell me, if their touchscreen is for the toppology-LCD (i assume, cause i think in USA might me more toppologys than sonys ??) or for sony-LCD i want to make sure to buy the right thing.
so, there are 2 different LCDs - but do they maybe have the same touchscreen-digitizer (glass and foil) ? if so, i can buy it without doubt.
thank you!
are you german ?
(because you have a xda 3 that is only sell in germany)
hello,
i bought the XDAIII used - from a german guy.
Both touch screens are the same, the difference is in the connector to the back of the lcd, one has wide spacings , the other thinner, the one posted in your ebay link is the thinner one. the only way to tell what screen you need is to look inside. Also the thinner screen has two holes either side the tracks, the wider spaced tracked one has one hole in the centre of the tracks.

Gary
hello,
sorry for the late reply:
i already looked inside my ba - a while ago. i also looked at the wiki. so i'm pretty sure i have the sony LCD.
so, does this touchscreen from ebay fit ?
thank you very much.

I got lcd with 'wide' tape and just bought a replacement digitizer with 'thin' tape.
I think I'll manage to solder them together.
Question is..
Will it work? If I've done it properly, will it work? (i'm kinda smart with soldering iron xd)
I dropped my Rhodium on asphalt.....its operational but there are scratches on the right edge of the digitizer and housing. Anyone knows where I can buy a digitizer and housing parts for a T-Mobile US Touch Pro 2? The housing and digitizer is a little different from the other Touch Pro 2s
Am another one
Well,
I have exactly same problem. But inspite of that guy i bought a damaged piece of that phone from ebay.
Its got completely destroyed Housing and the Digitizer seems to be bad to.
I would like to kick myself that I didnt knew, that the T-Mobile version is different...
I knew that ATT mades different housing, but T-Mobile...
So guys, is there a chance to get a housing and specificaly for the T.-Mobile HTC TP2 and If there is not, is it possible to convert the T-Mobile version into standard one? Using stanard housing and digitizer... ??
Thanks alot for your reply
The button layout and the shape is a little different between the T-Mobile US version and the HTC gsm version.....I already did my research.
But where to get that housing...
It seems that I have found a guy on ebay who is able to get me the Digitizer, but not the housing...
You found a digitizer? PM me the name of the seller if he has more.
As for the housing, how about using a T-Mobile TP2 display housing since there is none available yet? I saw a couple of Ebay sellers with dummy displays

Only one seller right now.
I have been buying some parts off eBay for my original Tilt and some from another website www.fonlogix.us
FonLogix also has instructional videos of how to dismantle the phone but I think those are the Wiki's here too.
I have not checked to see whether fonlogix has parts for the TP2, as modified by Tmo. I have to order parts for a BB Curve later so I will check but you can check them out. You can also google it. There are a number of companies that are selling the parts for phones.

Do you think that those dummy phones uses the real Housing? If so, than its a awesome idea, but am raelly not sure about it...
And the second problem is, that they do not ship outside US
If you are getting both the Digitizer & Housing you should be able to use any one that doesn't have the headphone jack hole. The internal guts "should be the same. The main difference is the T-Mobile one has a different digitizer & bezel. Just my thought on this.

Well, the housing is a actual problem, as long as I cant find it anywhere.
As what I have heard, the backplate and battery cover should hass the same dimensions and the only thing that is different is the front bezel and the digitizer, that has got different buttons position. ( at least the Tmobile version looks nicer to me
did any one have any luck with housings or if a dummy phone will work

No not yet the dummy phone was just a plastic screen. Patiently waiting for the screens becoming available
Over the years, my preferred method of addressing the wear/tear was not by using cases (which add bulk), but my simply getting a new phone housing when the old one gets too scratched up.
And it looks like OEM-like housing for HD mini are beginning to appear on the market, such as here.
Looks like HD mini housing is absolutely identical to Aria's. I'm going to stock up on one and give it a try.
Please let us know how this works out, I wonder if someone will sell just the back cover.

With most phones now having glass in the capacitive touch screens, I just don't see your extra housing providing much protection from a drop.
It's still a good idea though.

Indeed I'd be concerned about the screen in the case of a drop, but agreed its a good idea. Let us know how this works out, I'll have to keep it in mind if it does work on if/when my housing ever takes a beating
I bought 2 of these from ebay thinking the exact same thing. They were advertised for the HD mini as we all now know it is the arias winmo twin. When i received my housings I was very excited to try them on but ended up being very disappointed. The housing came with a few pieces of excess plastic from the manufacturing process which was no big deal. Next I noticed that there were no volume buttons, again not too big of a big deal as they can be carefully removed off the old case and hopefully attached to the new case. The absolute deal breaker was the fact that the Aria antenna IS the back cover, and this replacement did not include the antenna. I examined the original and I do not believe it is possible to remove the antenna and reattach it to a replacement. However this particular housing may be different, either way let us know what your results were.
check these out they look like oem with the htc

You're right -- none of the HD mini housings I see advertised on Ebay have the antenna contact leads on the inside

That's a case, what's being discussed here is the actual body of the phone
It's too bad about the mini's back cover not having the antenna contacts, hopefully true Aria accessories will start coming out and you can get your hands on a real housing for it
ya sorry about that , it was deceptive looking the first one i looked at had the logo and tri-screw holes. thought it was a replacement back cover
