Hey devs, I'm replacing the battery in one of my old HTC One M8's, and while inside it and online ordering the battery, i noticed these extra antenna ports that weren't being used, and on the international version of this phone, the charging board doesn't have one of these ports. So I'm just curious if anyone can explain what they are and what they are used for. Any help or info would be nice, I'm interested in learning all i can about them from hardware/firmware clear down to sine waves/frequencies and so forth. I'll upload some pics of what I'm talking about too here shortly.

Please help.
Thanx very much!

i think we can not find parts for HTC because its some sort of HTC policy do not sell parts for resellers.
all the things that are sold on ebay are cheap china knockoffs(at least P3300 parts):
TouchScreens
They work but are not the same quality as original HTC screens.
housing/covers
i bought one - visually it really looks very promising but its not the same as original. Its no usable. I dont know how to say this in english properly - ground circuit? is really bad on these knockoff housing covers.

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.

wow if that works it WILL be great!

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?

Hey guys, wondering if you guys could find a Galaxy W top cover set in black as my top part has dented. This is NOT a housing, it's more of a replacement part. I've found one here:http://www.mytrendyphone.co.uk/shop/samsung-galaxy-w-62785p.html but they do not ship to my country(Malaysia). Any1 met across this spare replacement part? I really appreciate your help if you've stumbled across a website that sells this and ships internationally.
Malaysia is on the list on their .com site.

But I can't register myself in as I can't select Malaysia as my country

seriously i need one. if you guys find a site that sells it and delivers it all over the world. i would be very grateful for it. thanks in advance
May I suggest getting a dummy galaxy w
In the old days, the dummy phones (the ones they use in phone shops) had the exact casing used in real phones. Maybe you can buy one of those galaxy w dummies, and extract whatever you need from it. And they are cheap to get.
In the past, I did replace the whole housing from a dummy phone for my treo 680.

dummy phones now arent made of real phone parts(that's why they're called dummies=non working objects). that's why its now on the cheap. i've seen one of the galaxy w ones before. all buttons do not work and the back couldnt even be taken off(the location of the spare part i am needing) so get your facts right and don't simply take a chance to answer questions with hideous answers.
I was thinking of getting a replacement housing for my HOX as mine is looking a little bruised and battered, but had a couple of questions:
1. Are they a genuine HTC part?
2. I have just had my phone fixed by HTC due to WiFi problem and wondered if the new housing will give me the same problem.
3. Are they are good??
Thanks for your help

couple of threads are going around asking the same question..have you had a search in the accessories section mate?
nah i do not think that a new housing should give you any issue regarding the wifi.
should be good yes...if it was easy to do i would love to change the housing on my phone but to much hassle...check ebay for housing cases but be sure to read feedback first before going ahead and purchasing it...
but first have a look over at the accessories section here on the One X forums
Thanks will have a look :good:
Yes they are genuine parts, and I already did a big post with photos showing how I changed my grey/black model to a white model.
It's easy enough it takes both a little force, and a little delicacy but its fairly simple.
Here is the thread...

So a friend of mine wanted to open up his phone.
And internally he massed something up, and now his NFC Doesn't work anymore.
I suspect it's the antenna sticker.
Does anyone know where to get a new one?
Ofcourse I googled, and tried Ebay, but i can;t seem to find any!
Thanks in advance
I'd say he needs to get a new case
Never saw a sticker alone on sale

That's awful, really. However, I know that some guys are just selling NFC antenna for different mobiles online in recent days. So maybe this time you can google "NFC antenna" and find them. Of course, most of the manufacturers like Sunshine Good Electronics only deal with wholesale business. Therefore, you need to be patient. I really that the result that I am seeking for is on the second page last time.
ej i tink hes right you need a new back housing, i got one from ebay a little while ago, it was like €22 or something like that.
