HTC Desire - Where do I get this phone case?

Hi All,
I was just wondering where I can find the silver HTC Desire case. Since I can't post links until my account is verified by a moderator, just follow these short instructions to find the awesome case I'm talking about!
Step 1. Click on the Mobile Tech World link in shure2's thread titled "HD video recording? ".
Step 2. Look at the second picture. The HTC Desire case I want is in the middle.
So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively if anyone knows where I can get official HTC accesories like cases etc. that would a great help.
Thanks in advance!

That picture doesn't look like the Desire is encased. It looks...naked
Are talking about the same picture? Maybe you think it's in a silver case because the photo is overexposed from the flash?

Btw, as far as I know, HTC doesn't make cases for their phones. I could be wrong since I've only seen 3rd party case makers...

The only place I know they are selling this one is from coolblue in belgium and netherlands they claim to be an exclusive seller of this one.
silver desire at coolblue

@ohyeahar - That's what I thought originally, that it might be overexposed, but then I thought that couldn't be the explanation.
@Staticsoul - Thanks heaps for this, it looks great imo. However it doesn't have the red trimming around the camera, hmm... But's it a step in the right direction, thanks guys!

This IMO is how HTC have managed to cash in while NOT having this phone exclusive to a network.
They will offer the Silver Colour exclusive to one network in each region, similar to how Nokia do it. So for Example, in the UK all networks may get the normal Desire but T-Mobile could get the normal and exclusively get the silver desire.

I have read that the red trim on the camera will not be on the desire when it releases the picture you're showing is a prototype model.

Hmm, that's a bit disappointing...
I'm inclined to purchase the phone from smartphone shop, however I can't read Dutch!
Also the phone will work on my current network's (Vodafone) frequencies but Three Mobile (which I'm going to get) only supports UMTS 2100 in Australia. This phone (if purchased from Belgium) doesn't seem to support 2100, according to the web site anyhow...
I could flash to a UK ROM soon after release but I'm not sure how long an upload of different ROM's to the internet typically takes soon after release... Depending on how long it takes I might be chewing up a lot of credit with Vodafone due to the data-intensive apps that I plan to run.

I don't think they ship anywhere else than belgium or the netherlands. but maybe there are other retailers that sell it exclusively in the UK?

Does anyone know about the black one? I've seen the black several places, and I think it looks much sexier than the brown one. So the question is where to get it

Yeah, I saw it there after making my post. Exclusive for France, though? That would suck
I also read a few places (after posting) that the black one might be promo-model only, which could be true, considering that the pictures I've seen are all the same (iirc), and that those obviously aren't of the retail version, because there is a few differences from the other versions we've seen. However, I saw a black one in a video, that looked just like the final versions, so I'm still confused.

[Q]Shattered Screen!

Today was a sad day. I dropped my GNex when taking it out my pocket to get in my vehicle. It dropped faced down from waist height and landed on some rocks/concrete. It took a chip out the glass and shattered in a few places.
Everything still works which is pretty good I guess no problem with the touch screen
I was crushed when I picket it up and fist saw it. I have a silicon case on it and no screen protector.
I hate cases and screen protectors but if I can get this fixed I will probably use both.
My questions is what's my best options here. My brother got me the phone from UK I use it on TMobileUSA. Basically I have no warranty here and wondered if there is someone in the USA that replaces screens or can send me one to do if not majorly complicated.
My brother said Carphone Warehouse will fix it ~£100 but they send it out. Seeing I use my phone alot for work was hoping to be without for minimal amount of time.
Any ideas? thanks

Send it to Samsung. I've read they will replace screens for $160 or so with a two week turn around.

Yup, you will need phone tools too.. Also found online: Amazon, ebay, etc..
Then just search for a "tear down" and follow the instructions.

I had my Galaxy S2 display broken. Took it to a repair center and saw how easily they put in a completely new front! I don't know if it is just as easy with a Nexus, (and offcourse here only replacing the screen applies as the back is made of one piece of plastic) but it might be worth to look?
You can find a display on ebay by searching for: galaxy nexus front display
I know it is expensive, but shopping a bit around the internet might help?
Advantage of doing it yourself is obviously that you don't have to send your phone away and being phoneless

I ended up sending the phone to my brother back in England. Carphone Warehouse fixed it for ~£79.
But I was too impatient and just ordered a new phone before I sent it off. I now have a screen protector and case
Sucks to break the screen as it can break so easily and there is no easy way to get it fixed in the US with the GSM version bought overseas.

slight bump on back. anybody else?

It's been over a month since I got my beautiful One X. It's been flawless(except the battery life, of course)
About 2 days back while caressing my phone in my hand during a movie, I felt a slight 'bump' on the back, right above the HTC logo. It is not easily visible - but surely there.
GSMArena also had this bump on their 360-degree spin model.

Is it widespread, or a serious issue? should I ask for a replacement from HTC?

Mine has it too, didn't even notice
let's hope it's not a foamy LiPo battery

as far as i know every device has this bump. but its nothing wrong with it.

Hello, mine don't have this bump and is totally flat ...

Oh! you absolutely sure? do you have a carrier-branded device?
Also, is your phone the global quad-core version, or the LTE/dual core one?
__
If the bump doesn't exist on brand new phones, can it be a result of the frequently-heating Tegra processor on a regularly used device? I've received a warning once from my battery widget, which said battery temp above ideal temperature.
I personally feel this can be risky business due to the fact that puffed up batteries aren't exactly safe

No bump on my EU model, totaly flat, but it's 5 days old.

Yes i'm sure, totally flat ... but can't take photo to show you now.
I don't know what mean "carrier-branded" phone but mine is branded ( SFR in France )
and there is no brand "tag" on case ( stock case ) if that was what you mean ...
My serial number is HT23NWxxxxxx if it can help identifying a faulty serie ...

mines totally flat too. unbranded uk

Noticed it today, too
Was bored, waiting for the lunch to arrive and flipped the phone around in my Hand in gelt it.
Glas to See Brothers have it, too.
Bit Mine has a minimal bump.
Barely noticeable

mine has a very slight bump on my htc one x white european version, i think this is normal part of the manufacturing process, its ever so slight and you can only detect it atcertain angles and your fingers have to be very sensitive to feel it,
not a big deal,

Bump
mine has a minor bump, its been like two weeks i bought it.. i am worried cuz i don't have any warranty with it.. I infact googled it they sent me to this thread.. anyhooo glad to find out that many of us having the bump and by reading all the comments it seems like the bump increases with the time so its because of the heat the cpu plus gpu generates..
had to stop gaming like crazy on it

And here is a repair guide for those of you who are brave enough!

And a https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+One+Teardown/26484 for those who wish to repair the phone themselves.

@zephiK thanks ill add to op

In the ifixit teardown I noticed that the battery is not TOO difficult to remove. Does anyone know if replacement batteries are available for this device.
It is using a 3.8v 3100mah LiPo battery.
OnePlus probably woudn't sell the batteries on their own. I also read on another forum somewhere (can't remember which one now) somebody was thinking of creating a way that the battery connector could be extended and fit into the battery compartment. This way you wouldn't have to unscrew the plate just to take out the battery.
Even if this is not feasible it would still be reassuring to know where to purchase replacement batteries from. If anybody knows anything on this, please let us know, thanks.

Thanks for the link. Where is the repair guide? I see a Teardown link.

When installed does this have little dots on the top of the screen. A friend just recently had a new 3rd party screen/digitizer installed on her G2 and you can see like small dots spaced perfectly across the phone. I am wondering if she just got a low quality replacement.

I've tried many times to repair my phones myself, every single time there was something gone wrong :laugh: Anyway glad to hear this :victory:

Yellow band?
Does anyone try it out? Does it have yellow band, like most of our phones have?

I'we seen 6 OPO's (with different dates of production) and all of them have yellow band at the bottom of the screen, so I can assumed that the most of OPO's have yellow band. My three friends says, tahey have no yellow band, but it is defenitely there (maybe they don't want to see it).
Go search for "Yellow" in OPO pages and you will see that so much people talk about it.
Even OPO admitted, that every 1+ have slightly yellow band on bottom of their phones.

Funny mine doesn't. So ha to you.

I hope you are not colour blind …

Mine doesn't have the yellow band either. I thought it was a bold statement.

I received 2 and neither had the yellow band. I am certain that I have at least average color differentiation.

Can confirm no yellow banding on mine

HTC M9 Silver with black antenna lines on back

Got my M9 Silver today, and the antenna lines on back are black, but in the official photos, shows white. Someone knows anything about that? Thank's.

If its the gunmetal grey then the lines are black.
Beamed in by telepathy.

No, it's the silver, not the dark grey (gunmetal). I never seen the silver with black lines, but the seller said it's normal comes with black or white lines on the back. What do you think?

I have a similar query as well. A seller is trying to sell an open box htc m9 gold to me. I feel that it might be fake because of the black antenna stripes (instead of white antenna stripes) on the back . Please help. I dont want to end up with a clone.

The phone is working normally. Nothing wrong with it. The only problem is the black lines. I bought on Aliexpress, as a new phone, not refurbished.

Actually, there is a M8 gold with black stripes.

M8 had gold with black antenna but I am yet to see a M9 gold with black antenna online.
@ eduardopfreire you could call up the htc customer care and verify whether your phone is legit or not by giving them the IMEI number.

Me too, I got the gold one and it has black line!!
I had checked the model and it is htc one m9w , also the version of the software is lollipops 5.1 and I can't update it into marshmallow .
Is there a way to update it?

I just contacted the support, and they said this is a Limited Edition. He even congrats me for have this phone. So, it's not fake. It's ok.

Check this link, M9 Silver with black lines:

But does the m9w have Snapdragon 810 or some other processor? And does it heat too much while running lollipop? Just wanted to clarify. Also I think it may be like a limited release edition thus making it slightly more valuable.
Also check this link where its mentioned that marshmallow is out for m9w

M9w
I don't know if with snapdragon or not, but when I read the features it has the same numbers of process speed , I kept trying to update but by (syst update at software option in the phone) not things found. Also I tried from official software from htc by pc not thing happened
