Hi, can anyone tell me if my phone is a different version and if all cases are compatible with it? Bought this phone a few days ago from someone but not sure why the back is different from what I see in the reviews.
the ring seems like it is for the stick on phone lenses. I know some cases have a wider camera hole, which would work fine. For what it's worth, NFC doesnt work unless you peel off that metal ring

Are you sure it's genuine? Never seen a One like that before.

Honestly i seen a lot of variants of HTC one and that is straight up a mock up and a fake of htc. can you show us the front of the phone with screen on. if it has those android like icons from gingerbread / jellybean knock then i am certain its fake.
Please provide android version number so we can help you further.
*facepalm* sry guys, Just realised i could actually peel it off but it was quite stuck to the lens which actually made me think it was part of it. And i think the use of the metal ring was for attaching some sort of magnetic lens like this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003RBI894?pc_redir=1403459654&robot_redir=1

Hello there friends!
I'm thinking on getting a replace housing for my aged Dash, so it looks decent with the wm6.5 ROM
. I think the procedure is similar to replacing a broken screen, and I only need a T6 and an opening tool...
Does anyone knows where to find one for a reasonable price, besides eBay?
Do anyone knows if a "dummy" phone would serve as a donor?
Has anyone here done this before?
i searched the forum, but couldn't find recent info on this
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Please read the sticky as is guide linked not sure exactly what want but should give good idea

I am actually trying out the same thing. Waiting for my dummy to arrive. Sears has T6 (in Illinois) for like $3. And you need a precision Phillip's head too. I bought both today and spent right around $7. Dummy shipped from NJ on Monday. I will let you know when it gets here if it works. I read in an archive on here of another HTC model dummy having all the same outer housing and some inner parts as real phone. Keeping fingers crossed for real. Would be awesome to have a 'NEW' phone with 6.5 and in all black too.

I also had the idea to replace the housing with one from a dummy. But i read in some german forum, that at a dummy the housings are glued.
wow if that works it WILL be great!
where did you found the all-black housing?

Found it on eBay. Local T-Mo store was supposed to have on but girl never went to look for me after she sold my brother a phone. She said she thought they were glued. But like I said I read on here of an older HTC model having all the same outers just no inners. Tracked it this morning. Should be here tomorrow morning. As long as it has screw holes I can make it work. My old silverhousing is 3 yrs old. I take good care but 3 yrs is 3 yrs. Will let you know.
Doing a little of search found this:

Sad to report
Yeah I am sad to say that my dummy phone came in the mail today. It was an EPIC FAIL. The only possible salvageable parts may be the keyboard. And that would be with some modifications as I do not think the buttons are transparent. The back of the screen where the LCD would be is solid black with the image printed on it. And the screw holes are different. I might be able to do something with it but I doubt it. It has none of the needed posts to place wires and circuit boards as the OEM. It was worth a shot though. I want a black DASH but don't really want to pony up the $100 or more for it where mine works fine. Its just ugly in silver. Calculator like. Ah well. So there ya have it. The dummy phone is a no go. I would post pictures but why bother. Anyone know where I can find an all black housing that is NOT clip on or a case? I can find the silver crap but not the black ones. Well thanks if you can. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
too bad to read, friend.
i'm checking everyday @ebay and I've found an HTC branded one for $29... I'll keep looking
too bad i came to late, i would have told you dummy phones are not the same housing as regular phones, i tried it with several sprint phones when i worked at radio shack, they are made differently.

Yeah well its ok. My kids can score a cool spy toy now. I just want a black housing. I HATE the silver crap. I would take a red one with the silver crap but all I have found is green, pink and orange. Still looking though. Was worth a shot. Lesson learned.
Well how does $25 sound, shipping included?

That one looks nice especially considering that the xoom is in a removable case itself. I noticed some other threads where people were looking for a case with pockets, so I guess this would probably be the one they'd want.

Yeah I saw some people saying that too before didn't feel like digging around for them though. Hopefully they see this.
@cesarcerros31 Thanks for the link didn't even notice that!!
I just wonder how bad the Velcro is when you remove it and say lay it something it might want to attach to.
Just saw that they will be in stock on may 6 so its up for pre order

Yeah I saw that too. I was hoping to find it for sale elsewhere sooner than that. It looks like you can get the red one though since that's in stock.
Just purchased this aluminum bumper for about USD 12, unlike the one reviewed previously in this forum ( the one with 4 screws fitting), this one is smaller in size, thinner and slightly lighter, about the size of a tpu case offered by mercury and SGP.
The buttons are dug in, but can be easily press, even with short finger nails, good thing it doesn't allow acidental press.
The battery lid can be removed or put on with the bumper on, the photo shows with extended battery lid on.
Before any consider one, there are 2 things you need to know, the headset hole is very small, so not all headphones will fit and the USB port will only fit the standard samsung cable, other may not fit.
Can you post some url?

does it effect the signal and gps strength?
is it heavy?
Looks like it would suck if you needed to use the volume keys.
To each their own, but imo that looks cheap and gross....do you live in Jersey?
lol Jersey i dont think it is gross but yes it is cheap at $12
I received the slightly bigger one few days ago and like it a lot but liking the look of this smaller one.
Not noticed any difference in reception/signal on mine over the last 2 days.
can you post a url to where you bought it online ?

Not that I know of, network signal full same, GPS signal picked up in less than 1-2 seconds from inside a building and the same at home.
I have yet to try the GPS on the move.

Thanks for taking the time to clear that up for me with that indepth answer
Does anyone know of a source that has OEM SIM trays for the HOX (specifically, the black one) for sale? I've found a few white ones on eBay, but so far nothing for what I'm looking for. Even non-oem would do at the moment, honestly..
Thanks in advance for your help.
Guess not.
could be a wile before we see them. if i was you i would go and try a sneak one off a demo phone. or you could try making a iphone one fit
Yeah, not gonna steal one. It's not for me, it's for a customer who claims he didn't get one with the phone we sent him. Impossible, but we can't exactly argue.
Not sure why there are so many white ones, but no black/gray.

Could get away with spray painting one black maybe? Atleast it would be a perfect fit...
Hi, my dot view ice premium finally got torn into two pieces (the back and the screen cover obviously) and I'd like to know if anyone had the same probleme and how they react about HTC (mine is only a month old, and I never push it too hard or did anything appart the normal use of it), I'd pretty like to get a new one, because I'm not entirely sure this is normal for a product of this cost
Thanks you all for your answer, hop you'll not get this issue, I'm actually pretty sad about this
