I'll fix your HTC phone or provide parts

Hey guys. I have gotten alot from this website so I would like to give back. I own and operate a mobile phone repair shop and would like to extend my services to this forum. Most of you seem pretty techical so even if you just want the part (microphone, ear speaker, Loud speaker, LCD) I will provide it for you at a low cost plus shipping of course. I mostly deal with hardware issues so please don't PM me or post asking about software, I am a total noob when it comes to that!
Thanks again to all the rom builders and contributers who have helped make my phone awsome!

If you can source the vibrate motor for an HTC S710 I would be forever grateful. Where abouts are you located?
EDIT: I see you're in Phoenix.

Most of the parts I carry are for US released HTC phones but often they carry simular parts. If you can post a picture of what it looks like I'll see if I have a match.

I will upload a picture in a little bit, however here are the specifications from the HTC Vox Service Manual for the motor;
JT0406-30CSR1, JNTECH, Cylindrical, 3V, 100mA, 12000+/-3000 rpm, 60/-, 20degC, 11.2*5.1*5.8mm
The cylinder has J7D05 printed on it and has 2 prongs that make contact to the pad on the PCB. I've tried many different other motors but none of them physically fit in the spot. So if you have any motor rated to those specs and is smaller or equal to the dimensions above, I will take it.

Here are two pictures of it. They are quite large, so not inlined. Not my camera, one of those funky digital ones that I have no idea how to adjust the focus on.

I'll check my inventory tomorrow. The shop is closed for today, it being the 4th of July and all.

Ah yes. Thanks, I shall await your response in great excitement.
Happy Indie Day!

A friend of mine has an O2 XDA Orbit but the usb works for charging but not for the data link.
Is this fixable? and if so, do you perform the fixes !!!!

@pna
I had the same problem with my Dash/Excalibur. I had to turn off the USB charging feature in the settings and then the data worked fine. I just either turn it back on if I need to charge via USB on my PC and don't have a wall charger handy. Tell your friend to try that.
Edit:
Also Turn off Advanced Network Functionality to along with charging over USB.

If the pins in the socket look straight re-flow the solder on the mainboard or get someone to do it. It's fairly easy. New sockets are about $4 on fleabay but as there are multiple lines close together you do need skill to replace.
M.S

@h4waii
Sorry friend. I don't have one that looks like that by HTC. However the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 vibrator does look like it. If I had it here to test I would be able to look closer. Once again, sorry friend.

I do, however, stock them. pm me and I'll list it on eBay.I'm in the UK though so shipping will be dependant on where you are. Outside UK is £7.

Good, this is the point right? To help our fellow members. Thanks Mysterious Stranger.

One of the give aways in buying this product is CoPilot Live 7 with free city map. I choose Muscat in Oman in English but I can not activate it. I went to the dealer but he wants me to pay to activate it.

Right on! I have been wanting to replace the metal bezel that goes around the front of the AT&T 8525 (U.S. HTC Hemes). Mine has gotten quite scratched and scuffed over the last year, and I would love to have it returned to it's original clean, shiny look.
Do you happen to carry this part by any chance? Or know of an affordable place to obtain one?

I get mine from a guy on ebay. I used my last 3 over the holiday weekend so I am out till I order some more on Monday. They are about $28 shipped. Link below....

If you need the full housing email Amit / Raki Computers and ask - they have them as well at not much more $ ( about $26 IIRC) if you ask although the parts they sell are used / stripped from BER phones so some have minor marks and it's pot luck.
M.S
edit - I emailed Amit @ Raki myself anyway and he's listed the full housings here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220254094906
better value IMO.

Yes. We've got software support and now hardware support. This thread needs to be stickied.

[Q] Help: About to buy an HTC one X "used"

I found an ad for a HTC one X that has apparently only been used for 3 days, so it is sorta brand new. The seller is asking for 425$ and most of the One Xs seem to retail for 600-700$. I've never bought a phone like this before and I am just a little skeptical. Is there any possible way to be scammed, i.e could this be a duped/fake One X? I guess my question is what sort of inspections can I perform to ensure that I am not being scammed and that the phone is in great condition? Thank you in advance.

Yes people can scam you but this is a great community. You can ask for imei number and check phone recycle sites to see if it recognised it. Also when paying through paypal you can always raise a dispute if he fails to send it and claim a refund. Request photos of it wrapped ready to send. See photos before u buy with his xda name and date on paper in the pic with the phone and get tracking number. If its in marketplace its a good place to buy people are trust worthy here just request pics like I said and stop worrieng

Ahh I see. I just messaged him asking for the IMEI number. I am actually meeting this seller in person. We are just going to meet at a local coffee shop and make the exchange so I will get to see the phone prior to buying it. Anything I should look out for/inspect? Haha, you're right, I should stop worrying. Thank for your advice man!!!

Screen flicker, gaps, 'ripple screen', scratches, etc. Might not be a big problem but you can probably negotiate the price down a little if there is any.

These are good things to look out for to serve as a starting point. Also, are you a developer or you just want to own this vicious beast? You might want to check or ask the seller if this was a developer phone before?
I usually do the usual bootloader recovery check (Volume Down+Power Button) just to check if the bootloader is already unlocked, if it is the next question would be if the phone is rooted. Alhough rooting a phone is usually safe in the hands of people who knows how to deal with it, you might want to cover this ground as well...

I don't know man,seems kinda cheap for a phone that's been lauched just a couple of weeks ago.Check that everything works,a friend of mine had to go with his One X back at the store to get a new one because the camera wasn't working.Check absolutly everything before you buy the phone,even look for dead pixels or things like that.
Ow,and watch out because the Chinese already lauched replicas for One X.

Htc one X - major issues - International phone...

Well, it was bound to happen eventually.... I have a bad phone it seems. A long story short is the wifi radio is kicking out my carrier signal, I have a yellow burn in on the bottom left hand corner of my screen... and my headphone jack is a HUGE hassle, to get it to acknowledge any headphones... it takes me anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes to get it to work.... I did all the normal stuff, but I am certain most of it is hardware related.
Has anyone dealt with this before? I am sure I am in for a world of inconvenience.... however, I am not sure where I start (handtec, HTC UK, etc).... the phone is less then a month old, ordered April 22. I spoke with HTC in the US and they said I could send it there for repair... but I would be paying the shipping to there, dealing with border delays and awaiting repair.... (which might be better then shipping to the UK).... but I have never dealt with this before, so before I do anything... I thought I would check around and see what my best options are. I live in Canada and I ordered it from handtec UK.
Thanks in advance

My 2nd One X (bought in Australia, Optus handset) has no faults at all (fingers crossed).

Well,bad luck but it is a faulty unit it seems.Why don't you contact the guys where you bought it from and ask for a return?I guess they can replace your phone with a new one and it's much more simpler (and cheaper) than to wait that much to send it to US,get it repaired,pay the shippment..etc.

I did open a support ticket at handtec, but being a weekend.... I expect to wait until monday!
thx

Well i think this are the only solutions you have...even talk to handtec to give you a replacement,or you can talk to HTC,maybe they give you a replacement instead of repairing this one?I mean,i don't know how HTC does it but when i had a Nokia i send it to Finland and in a week they've send me a brand new one.

did handtec respond to you?

so the weird part of it all, my beats headphones work perfectly in other devices, each and every time.... however, if I use my apple headphones in the htc one x, it works each and every time.... makes no sense at all, it is like the design of the headphones and phone do not line up or something?!
Oh well, I also have to ship it to them, wait for them to repair and send it back.... but I still think this will be faster then dealing with the us/border delays. Anytime handtec ships me a phone, I get it in 2 days.

1saleaday Lapdocks (Again) ~$60

For anyone still looking to snag one, http://1saleaday.com/ has the lapdock for sale again. $54.99, plus what I would imagine is their standard $5 shipping.
Edit---------
As mentioned by pre4speed, they decreased the rice by $5. Curious -- I have never seen them do that on their site before.

When will these sales be available outside the US ?

NM...............n00b moment!

Just received mine today. Opened it up to discover it has a UK keyboard... ಠ_ಠ

Ill get mine tomorrow and let you know whether mine is uk as well, hope we didnt get fooled

Yea, sure hope this wasn't a common thing. Emailed support though. I don't recall seeing anything in the description about it being a UK version.
It doesn't affect too much on the layout, but it is a bit annoying. I'll post back if/when I get a response from them.

yup uk keyboard

Good News
Well, I have good news. It would seem that they are accepting returns on the webtops with a UK keyboard. The email seems like it might be just a script/automated message, but it should work.
I received the following email:
XXXXXX replied:

I would recommend using a shipping carrier that provides tracking.
Thank you,

sup guys got mine today, using it now. Didn't even notice the keyboard thing till i saw this thread.(smh..it said it on the box) look like its a common thing. other than the "@" and "2" functions being switch around everything is good. i think i'm going to stick out and don't bother trying to get a exchange plus itook the stickers of already (feel like the uk version is probably the only one they have)

Yea, that's what worries me. Also, it's not going to be exactly cheap to send a box of that size that weighs 5 lbs. I think I'm going to reply back to them to make sure I'm not going to waste time & money on getting the same thing.

just going to keep it. not worth the trouble to ship back

I need a lapdock!! Why do I always arrive late to the party

Same here, UK keyboard, here is some help...
Yes, the 2/@ key but also others such as \ and # keys. Check here for layouts.

Got another email from them. It seems that upon request, they will provide shipping labels. So if you were debating it on the fact that shipping it back will cost you, just send support an email.

thanks but was mostly worried about them not having the us keyboard version(which Im started to believe is the case) and making me send it back for no reason. After 3 days im loving this thing and can wait for ICS update w webtop 3.0

onesaleaday has it on sale again (via Newegg.com). looks like model #9SIA0MC0B56334. can someone that has received one check the model number so that it can be confirmed if US or UK layout. Looks like the "other model 3 is 9SIA0MC0932943. I went ahead and put it on order, but might cancel if someone confirms this is not US model. I think it is not, as the latter model # is out of stock.
while trying to find out which KB this has, I found another link from 1saleaday to http://bensoutlet.com/products/motorola-lapdock-atrix-4g they also list it @ $59.99.
also I sent an email to 1saleaday asking them to confirm which KB for item on sale.
update sent email requesting info on keybrd in stock. It was forwarded to someone else who replied asking what i wanted (request was in email she was forwarded, and in turn responded to me on). Final response was "We can not guarantee that the keyboard will be either US or UK". I will not do biz with these folks after dealing with them and also from reading all the probs other folks had with their service.

Yea, they gave me the same thing when I sent mine back. We can't guarantee that there are US keyboard ones in stock. Got a refund, and I don't think I will be ordering from them any time soon.
Just head to ebay or Amazon. Surely a few more dollars to guarantee a US keyboard is worth it. As for me, I'm going to hold off until webtop 3.0 comes to purchase a new one.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

Oh you guys had me scared. I did end up getting a UK keyboard version, but that's just the labels on the keys. Shift + 2 still gets me @ instead of ", for example. So unless you intend to use the lapdock for learning how to type, it won't be a problem.

I don't understand, is $60 price unusual for the lapdock? I've been keeping an eye on this amazon listing for $60.48 for the last month (waiting for birthday money to purchase it) and I have not seen the price changes.

that's a decent price. normally about $100 with shipping. you might want to check which model they have (UK or US).

WTB Replacement back covers?

Hello,
I have been looking and the only place I have found the back styleswap covers are on AliExpress.
I have had horrible experiences with them and almost never receive my items so I really don't want to order them.
I was wondering if anyone has styleswap covers they are willing to sell or know some where besides AliExpress that has them?
All the links in there other posts about this are either deprecated or sold out.
Thanks! Look forward to hearing from all of you.

I work in phone repair, so I'm often looking through the catalogs of our various part suppliers, and the only time I ever see these, it's on Ali. I had some luck finding some white ones in stock at oppomart, but I think they've sold out since then. I'll find this and post in it or send you a PM if I find anything. I'm bored at work now, so I've got some time, and it looks like work anyway

Please sent me a pm as well as my backover and volume button er broken
Or link it here

Please post the link, if anyone have:good:

I wasn't going to post any links yet, as hunting for this has taken quite some time and effort, and there's a couple of...intricacies.
Anyway, to give you all a heads up, I have ordered one, but so far it's still "processing". I wanted to make sure it's not a scam site before I posted, but from what I've seen, it's either legit, or a really REALLY good scam. I've gotten an order number and order confirmation, I have confirmed that they are located(and ship from) Sunrise, FL here in the States. They have a 1-800 number, and while I didn't speak with any representatives, it does greet you with the company name and everything. The credit card statement also shows the same zip code and website, though with a different phone number. I submitted a question to their ZenDesk about shipment tracking info, but have not heard back yet. The other weird thing is it says the cover is an "iPartsBuy" cover, and iPartsBuy themselves claim to be out of stock. Maybe some kind of merger or inventory purchase? Anyway, here's the link now that you've read through my disclaimer.

Any updates on your replacement cover order?
I'm also buying for myself. I've replaced just about all parts in the phone and now it's cover time 

Wouldn't mind an answer too, really need a new cover xD

Any update on how this purchase turned out?

EDIT: Apparently these are Out of Stock, sorry to get your hopes up
I managed to find the back covers for sale on Alibaba, and it even mentions them having NFC. Unlike the other listings on Alibaba these have a minimum order of 1 so you don't need to buy more than you need.
