hi i hope i am posting this in the rigth place i got a orange spv m500 that need a new case as my one was dropped. The phone still working fine just need a case . I have been looking on ebay thay not got many case for my svp m500. And i see case for O2 XDA II Mini/Qtek s100/i-Mate JAM so i am just seeing if O2 XDA II Mini/Qtek s100/i-Mate JAM case housing would fit my spv m500 and if so how thanks :shock: :?:
:?: sorry if this has been posted before :?:
It will work if you get the imate JAM casing but the IMEI plate will not quite fit correctly in the battery holder as the jam casings has extra locating tabs - I've only ever converted them the other way ( from jam to m500 ) and that requires some tin snips to make the imei plate fit. I have the m500 casings here:

these guys are selling it, but i can't see a keypad.

Drop them an email, maybe they can supply the keypad seperate.
well these all look like alll they have is the two halves of the universal, not the swivel part or keyboard for sale
im looking for the complete replacements
Hey guys why would you not swap an O2 XDA Exec for a T-Mobile Germany? There may be people who are more inclined for a silver model vs. black one...
This way you both will be happy.
For example, I'd swap mine if it were not quite a bit used and I don't want a German keyboard, I need British one.

Its just that I like a change now and then. And I prefer Black a lot. I like that O2 housing. Its wicked. I just did a mistake by buying this silver Orange SPV. I was too much in a hurry. If anyone would like to exchange their Black O2 Housing, Maybe including keyboard+LED's, I will happily give them my Orange Housing + keyboard + Keyboard LED's.
To cut a long story short, the silver wheel on the front of my O2 orbit has fallen off and i was just wondering if anyone knew where i could find a spare.
Thanks in advance!

Try htc directly or in the Universal accessories forum there is a link to a firm in china who deal in htc spares and at a very cheap rate,they also promise to ship the part in three working days.Hope this helps.

Did you manage to source a new wheel? I dropped mine and the wheel is grinding as it spins now.
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...
Regards

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,
hqqh

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.
