hi has anyone tried this?
cracked my screen this morning, grabbed it from my bedside table, it was plugged in to the charger, tugged out of me hand flat on the floor and pow.
so i found these on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Desire-Brav...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439f675cd7
htc digitizers/ screens whatever you would like to call them...
so has anyone tried this? are these reliable? good quality? could be a cheaper solution for the many people who have cracked their screens in this forum.
thanks.
*** (* This is Touch Screen / Touch Pad Only, LCD Display Screen NOT included)
most cracked screens are only the touch screen so buying this is fine, if you ****ed the LCD display your phone most likely got under a car's wheels.
Take out an insurance policy, wait a month, sorted
yeah the lcd is completely fine its the digitizer..
i dont want to wait one month.. i might just get this to try it out.. then take out insurance..
anybody know good insurance company in the uk?

im not going to do that but you have to be pretty dumb to get caught out like that.
Insurance company can prove quite persistant to not shell out money.

tell me about it, it took me aaaaages to get money from barclays for my touch hd and i wasnt frauding... in the end they lost my phone but they sent me some money and that took too long!
I wouldnt buy anything from EWWT, I have an open paypal claim on them, I ordered a case for a tytnII, very slow to ship, the keyboard was faulty and the case is missing all of the sub assemblies glued inside, looks like they have sold me a non working "dislplay" case, pack of bastards.

sadly, I only need two things for this phone: a new battery cover and a better screen (i got a bad one). Unfortunately this only comes with one of those things, and Im not pain $85 for a battery cover. (not sure Id know how to install a screen even if it DID have one).

80 dollars for a COVER. Not the full housing, just the cover? thats ridiculous. Especially when my student account with amazon ships for free.

yeah, but a heck of a lot better than $80. Ill message the seller and see if he might be willing to negotiate that price some, too. Who knows, some are.
Side note, anybody know of any skins that might cover over the small scratches on my backplate that might be cheaper than $40?
You could try some vynil skins/stickers? Easily found on Ebay too.
Or just get a case to cover it up.

What the hell 85 buck... blah tmobile insurance cover the battery door if broken so I'm good

If you have a malfunction of the housing due to manufacturer defect then you can return it for a replacement. My housing was squeaking around the buttons and I'm returning it for that reason, outside of the remorse period. But if your phone is less than one year old (which all of these are) it's covered by warranty. Call Tmo customer support and complain until they give you a new one.
I'd like one just to make it look better...
I'm thinking about getting this phone, and would like a white one IF it wasn't two shades of grey in the back.
I've replaced quite a few housings on phones I've owned (BB Pearl, T-Mo G1, and a T-Mo Mytouch) - my big hesitation would be disassembling a phone that's under warranty, which I haven't done before...
...but a little electroplating, and the metal pieces on the back could be copper color (and matching) instead of mismatched shades of grey.. plus white.. plus chrome on the front (which might also be able to be plated).
Don't know if it's worth $100 plus voiding my warranty... though I'm a big fan of customizing things...

My xPlay recently took a nasty fall to some concrete. The only notable damage is a n extremelly scratched backplate. Does anyone know where I can buy a new backplate, without buying a case or a new phone?

Dang that's so cheap for the back cover....I kinda wish I had the black XPlay... Lol.
I sometimes wish I had a white xPlay but like my black one too (more Playstation like less iphone like).
The best backplate I imagine is leather covered or chrome but dn't know if it would affect the radio signal...
That with a dual SD adapter maybe and foldable out stand but without making it bulkier
Don't know if it is possible and how much it would have to cost

If there was a backplate made out of rubberized plastic, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Where can I buy the back cover for T989?****
I lost my back cover for my Galaxy S2 t989. Just wondering where can I get another oem one for a decent price. Thanks
You lost your back cover?
I've never heard of this before. How did you lose it?

I let my cousin play with it and somehow he lost it at public place.
That is hardcore, sorry to hear it. You may have to contact Samsung about a new back cover.

or wait a couple of weeks, and lots of it would be available on ebay for cheap, in assorted colors and designs as usual
luckily the antenna is not built into the cover like HTC phones
Samsung will replace it for you most likely. I know that my friend purchased a phone off Craigslist without the back cover and the imei was reported stolen to Samsung. They wouldn't help him out.
Often times when there's a missing back cover the phone has been stolen from a retail store. There's an adhesive puck that's placed and super glued onto the back cover.

Very true. I'm a retail rep and we super glue the hell out of the phones to the pucks. Many times I'll have some ghetto looking peeps come in asking for back covers because they lost theirs (probably lost it when trying to yank the phones off the puck lol)

i was just saying this in another thread. but because of the newness of our phones, there is a shortage in cheap accessories for it. but as time goes on they will come. have you called Samsung or t mobile? they might could order you one. im sure they'll charge a bunch tho...
your local Tmo might have a returned SGS II with an extra battery door. I know when i worked for Tmo all we had to return would be the main part of the phone and the battery (and even this wasnt required to be returned some times). We kept all the other items in a bin for customers so we could help them out, an extra charger, 1gb micro sd card etc.

OMG!!! I need a battery cover!!!
Anybody know where I can find a battery cover? I bought a Galaxy S2 off of CL, brand new for $250, but the dude lost the box and battery cover. He gave it to me with one of those rubber skins on it, it gets the job done I guess. I've never really been a fan of those skins because I like my skinny, sexy ass phone to stay skinny and sexy. I tried Ebay, Google, T-mobile stores and bupkis. Help me!!!!!!!!
Just call Samsung and tell them that you have broken the cover, they will send you a new one for free or a minimal charge
hmm... i'd be surprised if it ain't one of those stolen demos from phone store displays
wish you luck the IMEI is not black listed
otherwise you got a very nice $250 T989 WiFi Tablet

thats what i was thinking also.
Nah I don't think so. Dude actually had 2 of them, the one he was using, and this one. He said this one was his wives and she didn't want it, plus they needed money. He told me they moved recently and put the phone in his pocket so the movers wouldn't be tempted to steal it. I dunno, seemed legit to me. It's working good for 2 days so far, I even took it to a T-mobile store today looking for a battery cover. I dunno, guess I'll find out sooner or later.
Hi.
The back cover of my GNex is broken. From the camera to the end of the cover a crack of about 1 cm.
Can you tell me how to fix this without buying a new one? An attemt with superglue already failed, it cracked again at the same spot.

A piece of plastic that thin does not have enough surface for glue to do its magic. You would need something that adheres to both sides then holds them together like tape but that would be ugly. But of you look on eBay they are literally a couple bucks. Is it a stock cover or the extended? I have an extra stock back i will send it to you for free. Let me no.
