Housing FacePlate Black or Gray for HTC Universal

Hi All,
Housing Face Plate Black or Gray for HTC Universal available at Shope2.com
http://www.shope2.com/Product.php?cpath=1_171_178
Cheers!

Anyone sussed out what currency the site's in?
If it's £/UK, that is some insanely high pricing, but I doubt it's in £.
If it's $/US, I reckon that's still over the odds for a 2nd hand casing, I paid that price for a 2nd hand M5000 casing that also contains a working phone.
If it's Yen, please let me know, as I'll definitely buy one to fix mine as I've cracked the casing and the hinge is a tiny bit dodgy.

The currency is in US$. What do you think guys? Is it worth it to replace at this amount? I'll put on hold first my request.
Note: They are selling only not included the service to replace the housing, if service is included then may be i will consider

cnn.cn has a great replacement screen, I bought one from them a few weeks ago - good price and a very fast delivery.

Housings for Uni are around $29 on Ebay or for a bit extra with a matching keypad.

[Q\W] looking for a digitizer

Hi guys,
So I scratched my screen, and one tried using Displex to get rid of it.
After many many minutes sent last night and tonight, I've given up hopes of Displex working, or of finding a way to get rid of the scratches.
So, I'm looking for a digitizer now. The cheapest ones I can find are over 30 dollars on eBay.
Know any other places that sell them at better prices?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Hey you should just goto your dealer or carrier from whom you purchased the phone and ask him to replace the digitizer i think its better to pay a little more than getting a cheap digitizer as it may just spoil your entire desire experience or if the scratches are bare minimum you could put a scratch guard on the screen and continue using it. i would recommend contacting HTC service center or your dealer if the scratches are really deep than purchasing of e-bay or something.

Or if it's insured just oops dropped it!! -- make sure accidental damage is covered by the insurance first lol
EDIT[] the ones from Ebay are sometimes for cheap chinese clones so better to go to official place if this is the route you are going to take or wait for someone to respond that knows a reputable ebay seller

Haha that site requires him to buy a minimum of 3. At least we know he will have spares.

Nice, I think I'm going to hold out a week or two to see what happens but if not ill jump on it. If anyone else is looking for one of these let me know and I can order it and I would be down to split them up at cost and ship em if you paypal me. I'm paypal verified and have a 100+ ebay rep

wait, r u on at&t? if u r, why buy a used/damaged atrix for $315, which is 115 bucks more than a brand new one on contract? n on top of that, u still have to buy the replacement screen? just doesn't make sense right?

he might of already used his upgrade from at&t or not an at&t customer. 315+60 is a steal for an atrix. you can sell these easily for 500-600. not everyone can get at&t contract price...

I actually used my upgrade to get an Atrix. hadn't upgraded in years because I had a rogers HTC Dream and then I bought the Nexus One straight up. I used to run a little iphone repair business and figure I'll have no problem fixing the Atrix. This is just to make a quick $150-$200

Interested in split-order of Atrix replacement screens
I shattered my screen yesterday. So far local stores have been no help.
I am going to one last store today to see if they can get me a deal on a replacement phone -or at least repairs- . If that doesn't work out, I'll be interested in going in 1/3 on a replacement screen order.

Booooo! I, a poor student, now living abroad and with no contract options, almost bought that same ebay phone and was even talking to the seller when it disappeared. Back when globalparts sold the screen for $50 (but still, minimum order of 3.) But, iFixIt makes it look easy and you should have no trouble finding people to split the screens with (if I lived in the US still, this'd be my strategy.)

I think he is allowed to do whatever he wants with his cash.

Anyone seen them anywhere else? I've been keeping my eye on ebay when I can for another cracked one. I was thinking I could buy 3 and fix them all.

Cracked glass
Is there any way to replace just the glass...? I scuffed up my glass pretty bad...

Thought the Atrix had Gorilla Glass?????

Just because its gorilla glass doesnt make it indestructable - you can still scratch and scuff the screen...

You can order the glass on Ebay now. I would get the digitizer also because sometimes its glued in the glass. And dosent come off easily. Would rather just tear it apart once....

when they took apart the atrix they found that the screen was completely separate.

I've ordered replacement parts from www.ccn.cn before and while they aren't always OEM parts, they fit and work regardless. They don't have much of anything for the MB860 at this time though, other than the back cover.

I bought one from ebay a few weeks back but have been busy and then realized i didn't have a torx t5. Ordered a small screwdriver kit for $4 with free prime shipping on amazon.
Just did the replacement. I used adhesive pieces cut from ones for iPhones to seal it on. The teardown was a little bit more difficult than I expected. It will be much easier the 2nd time around but the ifixit really doesn't give any of the details. I noticed I left a small smudge behind the glass/digitizer so I may take it apart to wipe it. If I do I will make a teardown video. The biggest issue was that all of the ribbons are held down pretty firmly by strong adhesives. I was very impressed by the strength of the bezel. Everything worked fine first time I put it back together. I used to fix iPhone screens pretty regularly, I've probably done around 40+ of them, so that experience may have helped.

[HELP] New Display LCD purchase recommendations

Hello:
I wanted to know if any of you knows of a good seller on ebay or any other place thats not amazon where i can buy a new lcd screen replacement for my ze551ml, i was trying to purchase one and i notice some ads doesnt have the logo and i wanted one with the logo on it, or maybe its just that they erase the logo to be able to sell it?
Well if anyone knows of a good seller or can pass me the link for one please tell me.
Thanks in advance!

If it's any help, I've bought several LCDs and/or front glass for various phone over the years. Some sellers black out the brand names in pictures. (Even if the item ships with a logo.) A lot of replacement glass has arrived with a black sticker covering the "Samsung" (or whatever) logo. I can only assume this is for copyright protection, limiting sellers' liability for any push back against parts sold outside of "official" channels, and/or 3rd party replacements.
Just because it's missing from the pics doesn't mean the replacement won't have it. May be worth emailing the seller(s)?

as awoolf said. you must not worry about brand logo it is always written whether shown on image or not. here are few recommendations. from where ever you buy buy screen with frame. with frame it is super easy to replace and not much difference in price. without frame i have broken new screen replacement many time. second if you can wait always buy from china. especially from aliexpress. they send quality product with cheap price. last week i got one for ZE551ML for $23. it came with glasss screen guard and tools. it took 12 days to reach me from order date. use app to order screen. as a new user you may get $2 or $4 coupon. but keep in mind from wherever you order get it with frame. here is a link which i bought.

But wouldn't the sellers on Ebay and such be some sort of knockoffs ? Because I need an LCD, mine is a little bit cracked, but I dont wan't a chinese low quality copy. I would like genuine ASUS parts!

I just bought a replacement from this seller works flawlessly eBay
•No dead pixels
•Asus Logo on the front
•No digitizer issues
•2 day shipping
I love my zenfone 2 all over again after installing this new screen its actually a very easy fix as well.

buddy you need to understand from where ever you buy weather said to be original. it will be a copy. untill you buy directly from asus service center. all so called genuine are copy. asus issue original part only on a RMA to service center only.
as per quality is concerned either you buy from ebay, amazon or local sellers. it will ultimately come from china. i have purchased several LCD's from china had no issue and no one could differentiate it from original.

Ah, okay I understand. It's because I want the best for phone. Because it is always worthy to spend a few more on good quality parts than bad quality ones that break after a while

Had a replacement screen from China via eBay and bought the screen, digitizer and frame all in one for around $30 and no issues at all
Original one died, had the lines through it
So in essence why go original when the original stuffed up.
So happily went with one that offered good warranty and all worked out well
Had bought a second screen and frame also
So have a full frame spare and essentially glass as well
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD

I also have the infamous tearing lines on mine, I ordered this screen with frame so no glueing or things like this
https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?orderId=86319706999709&productId=32823303482
Should take 15 minutes to install.
EDIT: I realized I bought the same one as @sukhwant717

I received mine, looks like great quality, easy to install too ?

Lava red housing for sale?

Does anyone know where I can buy a lava red housing for the 5t? I bought a 5t when it launched but I love that red color. Was just gonna swap the housing if I could find anywhere that sold it in red. Any links or help? Would OnePlus sell me one if I asked??

I was hoping for the real thing and not a skin

So far I haven't had any issues with the finish on my on 5T (which is black), but I imagine if the red shows black spots underneath if the finish wears off it would be much worse. So while my favorite color maybe red, I think I'd just stick to black. Not to mention my phones are always in a case anyways. This is why I'd second the skin suggestion. Not to mention opening the device obviously has some risk as well.
I highly doubt OnePlus will sell you parts.

I was checking that out too.. went to a couple parts websites and eBay looking for a red housing and so far all I could find is the black one.
So I just bought the red one and gave my wife my black one.
I would still love the option to buy a red housing though so I can go caseless and just replace it once it gets scratched up.

I think swapping housings is a terrible idea.
1) there is the slight chance you might break something
2) there is a chance you'll compromise what little water resistance the glue provides
I'd just sell my phone and buy the one I want.

1. Get a skin
2. Get a red case
3. Next time buy the color you want
As mentioned previously I would never take apart my phone simply bc I wanted a new color and especially not if there want any physical damage I was hoping to get rid of. The phones sold out domestically and only on sale in Europe and China in red, I'm assuming the housing will be hard to come by.
