no worries, im buying brand new p3300 in few weeks and keeping the one i have for spares and to test new roms.. i wont be needing the spare cover and no point in selling half a cover is there.lol
sticking with p3300 till this forum dies!
no link for beer yet.. just owe me a favour dude
add me to messenger if you want..
to get back cover off:
*take off battery cover and take out battery..
*unscrew the 4 screws..
*now it just unclips..
(ill post images tomorrow) - you wont need them but ill still upload
honestly, its easier to use your nail to unclip it, you wont even need the tool, the tool is just something that they supply to make you think your getting more for your money
to get oval silver plastic thing off the back cover
use a stanley blade.. be carefull, the silver plastic can snap easily.. trust me lol if you turn the cover over (inside out) there are two holes it clips into, id **** about with them first so ya dont snap it.. after that just get the blade and ease it off.. glue it onto the new cover or doublesided tape.. piece of piss but ill post images tomorrow so what im saying makes some sort of sence

Does anyone know if this clear case is any good ?
http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=70
I have an aluminium one but would like to change it to a clear one.
I like it very much
Ordered one with Proporta
Unfortunately theyre still out of stock there (price 14,95 GBP)
I rang pdamods.com this morning and they said they have them in stock and it would be delivered to my home tomorrow - Can't wait for it !!!
i rang proporta today to cancel my order but when speaking to the guy he said:
they come in this morning do i still want to cancel my order so i changed my mind he said hell get mine sent today 1st class so i should have tomorrow also cant wait nearly 2 months of waiting lol
i just wrote them a mail awhile agoe and got it back the server said it could not resolve the addresss then i went to their site
to look for another adress
and saw that my case was marked as ready to ship aswell
hope it gets here one day
Woohoo! Good news that i might finally recieve my order. Darn shame the phone is on its 2nd visit to the xda service centre
what is wrong with your XDA 2 (again) ?
Hanging a lot, first time i sent it back they apparentely reflashed the bootloader, but the same problems were happening when they returned it.
:lol:
jeeeha!! Mine is ready to ship as well.
Gues I just ordered mine just-in-time
(I canceled my previous order to express my anger form waiting more than a month)
just got a mail that mine had ship'd
now i can finaly change number without having to pull out the whole device
because i did try to map the play next and prev to the inc and dec and inc vol button on the side but it dont always work so sometimes it change the song at sometimes it inc the vol
Mine has shipped too. Delivery in approx. 7 days. Pitty (for that) I am on holiday then . . .

here you go, i got my new case this morning! pics were taken with the xdaII!!!
how is it ?
does it feel bulky?
does dancing riverdance on it break it ?
does it dec the gsm signal str ?
does it reflect light making it diff to see the screen with lights around?
and does the beltclip from the std case fit the hole under the cam hole ?

it doesnt feel too bulky at all, in fact it is the slimmest fitting case i have found so far for the xda. I used to use the proporta aluminium case which is a little bit bigger and thicker and heavier than this.
i have given the front a good squish test and even sat on it a few times and it seems vers strong. not as solid as the aluminium one but pretty damn close (has a little more give in it)
yey, yey, yey, i get full gsm signal with the case on as oposed to half signal that i used to get with the alu one!
a little light reflection from the case, however the screen is very visible and totally clear and colourful. I havent tested it in bright sunlight yet, however with a spot lamp it is fine!!!
there doesnt appear to be a belt clip attachment at all (unlike the alu one), so this might be an issue for people
Hope this helps guys!
to sum up i think this is the best case i have found yet for the xda II, all the buttons are easily accessible and the flip over top design is much easier to hold than the side opening alu one. It is a brilliant case!
2 possible draw backs that dont bother me at all :
1) no belt clip
2) no sd storage slots
brilliant design i recommend everyone who is looking for a small case for keeping their xfda in their pocket gets this. i am very impressed. was worth the 2 month wait!!
well from looking at your pictures there is a hole under the hole for the cam
on the std case there is a hole like it and you put in the org beltclip in it and it locks
are you positive that you cant just plug in your org beltclip
i dont really use the beltclip for anything other then stoping my xda
from moving to the buttom of my front pockets, so the clip in on the outside of the pocket
(yes i have abnormaly large pockets )
Unfortunately, the back (side) casing where the stylus slots in has disintegrated
I have ordered a new casing, but wondered how much of a bugger it is to change over? Any opinions please.....
thanks
its not too bad, just alot of fiddling with clips and double sided tape holding parts together. If you have a look in the Wiki there is a link to a repair manual

hey guys, i recently switched to an athena after my universal dies in the process of shifting to 128mb i shorted the pin and windows was recognizing only 64 at the time.. the i read somewhere in the threads that (the area in red needs one resistor) so i was trying to put the resistor in when all of a sudden i was using the desoldering wire to remove excess solder from the sides (stupid stupid me.. i know i should have rushed, not used that braid ..) so anyway i knocked off some resistors because the board was hot.. i didn't know what went where and what resistors values they are.. so at first mt uni powered up with the radio not working (obviously the radio rom area missing resistor) then i messed with it more and 2 more resistors in the process now all i see is a blue led powering up when the battery is fitted in.. thats aboutr it.. i didnt mess with it more due to the urgency of my work needing a device asap so i had to overnight an athena over to myself and now ive been happy with it. my universal is up for sale .. if anyone knows what the values of these 5 resistors are and is tech savvy my uni is all yours.
should i sell it on ebay as parts.. i know the screen alone is almost 200 usd.. i have everything for it.. my screen is in perfect condition it even has a washable and reusable screen protector on it. i have a 4800mah battery and a regular one too.. a covertec leather case and another one also from covertec modded to fit the 4800mah battery. is anyone interested in this bundle.. i don't know what its worth, my athena cost me around 1000usd and i was hoping to pull around 300 or so for my universal and accessories.. (extended battery 1 month old and external battery charger, original 1600mah battery, 1 brand new covertec leather case, used 2 days another modded covertec leather case used for 4 months, screen protector that was on all the time.. ) anybody with an offer contact me [email protected]
see the attached picture for the area with the dead resistors(i mean missing resistors, 5 of them)
Can you post the leather case pic
Hi ya,
I know this is off topic, but can you post some pics of the modded Covertec case? cos I just got my 5000 maH batt and need a case
TQ

hi guys i would like o know that from where i can buy white housing for my imate jasjar ! as i have a the default casing i.e grey and would like to upgrade it to white casing ! i have googled up for this topic but couldn found any valuable refrences so if anyone has any idea as of from where i can purchase the casing which i have illustrated in the pic below with the illustration of my default casing as well to show wat i m switching from ?
There is no white housing for the uni
In response to your question
that white covering was not housing but instead, a protective cover for the imate JJ.

so from where i can get such covering for my jasjar ?? hmmm
White housing for JasJar?
The nearest you will get is the Vodafone V1640 version of the device which is silver-coloured and looks great. You can search on ebay - I recall seeing one such housing listed. I first bought a JasJar but hated the keyboard because I could hardly read the red characters on the dark brown background. (I actually shopped for and got a silver-coloured keyboard from ebay, and got PocketPCTechs in California to replace the JasJar keyboard.)
hey man ! someone earlier mentioned that this si not a housing but a protecting covering ! so tell me man how m gonna buy the stuff over ebay as they sell the whole fone as one n not housing apart i presume as i looked for it i couldn find anything with the keyword ! so pls guide me from where u brought the housing and if its ebay ! do let me know wat keyword u searched in for! ? ? ?
thanx

I think it's a silicone cover. Although i would much prefer a crystal case, had one with my Jam and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Thats no cover. Thats a full proper housing. Even the keypad will have different LED colour just to let you know. The housing you can search on ebay or google. I think T-Mobile has white/silverish housing. Look around you may find something.

Just open EBay and search until you find.
Hi all,
Recently I dropped my beloved phone and now there's an unsightly dent in the corner and the silver border (euro version) is really badly scuffed. It still works though.
But I like my devices pristine so I can't stand to look at it now!
Tbf I can still get £150 for from one of those phone trade in companies.
And can sell an old e71 for just under 100, which can go towards a new different handset.
Or is it at all possible to refurbish anywhere and then attempt a higher sale? I'd rather not wait weeks/months though.
Please offer any advice.
Thank you.
Ibelieve you can buy replacement screen/front cover. I seen a couple posts with links to ebay for them.
Wow, what would you do if your girlfriend had a zit?

I'm not sure if thats the damaged part, but that is what I was talking about.
mines got the same thing, dent/scratch in the top right corner, but it just adds character
i know if i fix it, i'll just go out and drop it again.
Maybe you could just put a case over it to hide it and protect it from future damage?

Stupidly i did the opposite. As soon as i dropped my phone i was in such a piss poor mood i just put it in my jeans pocket. I was cursing the stoopid fiddly case!
So aswell as the corner dent, the silvery bit started to peel away. Funnily, every other part of the phone is still in perfect condition.
I doubt any personal buyer would be interested so i think im just gonna give it to Envirophone or other.
Better than other situations where i could've lost it or internally detsroyed..

You might be surprised!! Put a post up in the marketplace section, you might just find an interested party
Why not get another one and save this one for parts. That way when you drop the new one and scratch the back cover you can already have a replacement.
