Okay, first I would like to start off that I've been on here for quite some time even though I don't post a whole hell of a lot, so I did search before I got this far lol.... I bought my One a few weeks after the release date and since then I've put quite the dent into it and the speakers have managed to blow somehow.. seeing I have to take apart practically the whole damn phone, I figured go big or go home and decided to do a whole body swap from white to blue... I was ready to order all of the parts on etradesupply.com and I came across this: http://www.etradesupply.com/htc-one-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
As I was reading, I noticed that it said this:
Compatibility: HTC One*801c, 801n, 801s, 801e
I know for a fact this will work on the AT&T and t-mobile versions, can anyone confirm that it will work on Verizon's? I would just wing it and order it but I don't want to spend that much on it and the rest of the parts only for it to not fit.

Talked to HTC, average repair for our One is $90 so to save yourself a headache, might as well let them do the work for you.

Yeah I was gonna end up doing that if it wouldn't work... I was actually going to body swap colors but can't seem to tell if that lcd will work with the Verizon version... I could just do the upper and lower housing but I hear that they'll never stay on properly after install... I had a insured business that offered to do the swap and replace the speakers for $35... Probably not worth the risk.
I am sure they can body swap to a blue for you also for a little extra. I personally love the best buy blue.

That's why I was going to buy all the parts myself... I'll probably just see if the place working on my phone is able to find a blue front housing
I have the choice between red or black.
Which one would you get?
Blue is out of the question, it would cost me too much compare to black or red

I'd do anything for a black htc m7 vzw
Agreed with Andy. I have the blue and its great and all, but I'd hop on black much sooner. Or if they made a mirror finish silver with black accents.

After looking at the price for a red back.
I decided to go the Black route,
I actually liked the red Version but every place I looked at prices for red back was 3 times more than the black Version.

Do you guys think there will ever be a black s3? I'm pretty bummed that they didn't go with black and I might be even more so if they come out with it later and I'll be forced to buy it off contract.

I have to agree here. I looked at the White S3, and just thought that it looked too plain. I mean yea... there's nothing special about giving a brushed aluminium look to plastic, but at least it's an added bit of depth. Didn't really want such a smexy phone to look like... uuh... another popular white phone that's not nearly as smexy.

Yea those pictures + screenshot of a listing in phone arena's database for a black s3= there's probably one coming. But not for awhile is my bet. Kinda a bummer though. I like my blue and all but black would be so much easier to match up with cases.

I don't think there will be, due to the lawsuit with Apple. Trade dress. Google it.

It's a joke, some of the stuff they claim is patented.
According to Android Police as of yesterday, car phone warhouses' inventory states that it could be possible. As an owner of a white one, I'm jealous of people that get the black one no homo

It's even worse that they're claiming that the ICON'S infringed on their patents. Going by their actual patent information in that document, and looking at the side by side's later on... wtf are they on? Well, we could easily say that the white phone on a green background is NOT at a 45-degree angle. And most of the others don't look remotely similar. I mean... thinking that Samsung's smiley in a speech box looks similar to Apple's own speech bubble? The Settings icon... what... because it has a gear in it? And WTF are they on with the photo gallery icon? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Apple just seems to have the patent office in their pockets, as well as the judges they use for this sh*t, cause they are granted so many patents for the most ridiculous stuff it's unrealistic.

Since most people get the phone faster in att store (10am friday),
Why even bother to preorder if you can't get the phone a day or few days earlier??
I wanted the ugly gray.
We're getting the product we ordered, "on or about" Nov. 9, as estimated. How is it being back-stabbed if someone else can get a prettier color now? Restricting other customers' options was not something you were promised, and why would you even want that?
The advantage of pre-ordering is that if the supply turns out to be inadequate, you'll probably get your phone much sooner than if you wait for it to appear at your local store. The disadvantage of pre-ordering is that if the supply turns out to be ample, the store might have the phone slightly before the pre-order arrives, and might have additional cosmetic options.
So you just have to decide which of these options you prefer, and then live with the consequences--which are almost indistinguishable! The anguish and drama here are bizarre.
Gray is much nicer then the ugly white.
That said, anyone who wanted white probably shouldn't have ordered gray. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Anyone know how I can change a HTC One Silver to Black for VZW? I see they have back housings in black on eBay, but do they have a front? Is it fairly difficult to do? I'm not looking for a skin. I really love the black HTC One. Its a shame VZW didn't get it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The HTC One has a unibody enclosure. I think it's safe to say that it's impossible unless you plan on gutting the phone.

You might as well hit the phone with a hammer. This phones got the lowest repair score of any phone. A 1... Is almost impossible to take it appart without damaging it in some way.

it requires a special tool to take it apart. but if they want to change the front and back of the phone, they will need to replace the screen as its 1 piece for the whole front so this means wreak the LCD anyways.
http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to-tear-down-your-htc-one/
it's not going to be a "cheap" color change and you're better off not doing it unless you want to spend the money.

Anyone spends money how they think is necessary/ appropriate, but this phone is simply not designed to be taken apart and attempting to disassemble seems absurd. Money wise makes no sense, you need to buy the back first, and then you need to buy and replace the whole front end... Then you run the risk of completely breaking the device. Oh and not counting that your warranty is completely voided... Seriously. Makes no sense at all. Sell the phone and get a phone with the color you want.

agreed, spray paint or even a vinyl would be a "safer" alternative.
Easiest way would be to look @ your phone through very dark glasses.
Opening the phone will also void your warranty. Just get yourself a nice case in the color you want. It will be MUCH less hassle.
good luck!

Look, TMO doesn't offer black either. So I ordered a black TPU case. It covers up just about the entire phone. Most people seeing me use the phone would think it is black with silver highlights. I'd do that for $10 before I'd attempt to swap out the housing.
Good luck!
What if you housing is already really messed up with scratches dings and all that could you replace it then

You should buy one of the skin kits that makes it look black.

There are many companies that makes skins so search for a good one or kind you like.

If your not a case kind of person you could buy a nice skin. Im tempted to get a carbon or kevlar skin and ditch my case. The only down side is what if you drop it on cement. But since you're not puting it in a case anyway that wont matter.
Almost 2 weeks now and still it seems everyone is out of the Note 4 in white.
Anyone heard anything as to when these devices will finally come in?
