Where to buy the original HTC Diamond Backside

Hi to all,
does anyone know where the original HTC Diamond backside can be ordered?
Unfortunately O2 (may be other german providers also) sells this phone with an different backside (feels rubberised).
Hope someone knows where i can by that. May be not at ebay.
many thanks

@tnyynt
Unfortunately they do not have that diamond-like backside. Or I am stupid enough to find that.
Can you post me a link to the backside?
thx

http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=166209
took me 30sec to find the back cover

found it...
many thanks!

i dont get it, any of back covers in ebay doesnt include camera lens cover
from expansys piece of plastic costs so damn much

click me
cheers

Hi. After a long search, only back cover from Expensys has lens cover built in. Other models (eBay ...) don't have this part include in the cover ...
And another thing, the price on expensys increased last week from 19 Euros to 30 Euros even if there is no stock ... :-(

extra parts
Hi Guys, you can buy almost every part (for your mobile phone) at Cnn.cn
check it out, they update there inventory. so don't worry if your part isn't there at this moment. They ship from hongkong, takes a bit more then a week (to the netherlands). If ebay doesn't have it try it here.
See ya

2 shipped to canada for $150! omg im staying home for a week! that ALOT for a half ounce of plasitic!

You mean you have the rubberised cover and want the original shiny one??
I hate the shiny one and would swap for the rubberised one in a flash. Been lookin everywhere to buy it but can only find the shiny one.
If anyone has found the rubberised one please let me know.

Another place to get this is from Brando, http://mobile.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03501&dept_id=088&cat_id=0670

Anyone know if this will fit the Diamond? http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172103

I bought one from inkino.co.uk two weeks ago.
Its original HTC branded.

Replacement Touch Pro LCD Compatibility/Retailers/Fitting

I'm hoping someone can help, I've been without my touch pro for about a month now after I sat on it whilst drunk and smashed the LCD!!!
I've been trying to find someone who sells replacement LCD's and not been able to find anyone. Does anyone know where I can get one?
I have managed to find a Diamond one quite cheaply on ebay, but does anyone know if it compatible with the touch pro? I've looked at my friends diamond and from the outside looks the same. It also has the same dimensions and specs.
I hope someone will be able to help, I'm having to use a crap SE T280i which can't even go on the net!!

It might be possible to get it warranty repaired by HTC, or at least repaired by them (you may have to pay for it if the warranty doesn't cover it).
What country are you in, as that will make a difference to shipping and availability.

Hello,
I have a similar query too. Do diamond lcd ( Not digitizer ) fit to at&t fuze?
Just because, diamond lcd screen are cheaper then fuze.
As far as product image, both looks same but need someone to confirm if it works for fuze also. Please help to save few $$$.
Thanks...
Best Regards

yees, mine too... did a bad thing to the screen so it has 3 blue spots due to extreeme presure to the screen.
found lot of stuff in eBay but I don't recommend it because I once ordered a battery replacement (made in HongKong) for my TouchPro and it wont perfectly fit. So it kind of shocks me to shop in eBay...
mine is Asian Touch Pro (T7272)

I brought at&t digitizer from hongkong and its perfect. I don't think all the items from hongkong are bad. And most of things I brought from hongkong ( ebay ) were perfect, especially car products.
unfortunately I broked lcd, digitizer and flex cable while I was installing new digitizer. So now I have to buy new flex cable and lcd ( without digitizer ) which costs nearly 70$.
Already brought flex cable but suck on buying lcd. Just waiting to confirm.
Edit; Just now got reply from a diamond lcd screen seller. He said, we have asked the manufacture, and they told us it can not be used. So this should be clear but I already brought fuze lcd screen too as I don't wanna suck.
Best Regards

the Tough case is really good for protection

the other cases have a better feel

Hi,
I believe he orders directly from the manufacturers, not G market.
He told me to ask what price in pounds would everyone be willing to pay for these mesh cases and possible the SGP slider cases?
Thanks!

ok cool no worries i think around a tenna cause its that price from the korea's

Anyone got any more experience of the Cae-Mate Tough Case? Looks like the kind of thing I need (I'm notoriously cack-handed!) but worried it bulks the phone out too much. Are they pocketable (jeans) or are you resigned to jacket pockets and manbags only?

I have bought the black one - very good quality - really recommend to all!

I bought a red one of these for a slightly different look in actual life the red colour is a metalic cherry red not the bright red in the pic. Get 2 free screen protectors as well which is cool.

JUST GOT one of these from ebay. The quality of the material is excellent.
but they have 2 major flaws preventing them to be useful
1)The surface of this case is smooth , so still has difficulty holding the phone.
2)keeping this phone on the back on table, you will miss most calls, as the speaker is almost completely covered in this position.
if these two flaws are corrected we have a killer case.

[Q] Replace Touch Screen Digitizer

A few days ago I dropped my Desire S on the floor so now I need to replace the glass. The phone is still working perfectly so I'm not going to pay the full price at HTC (besides that, I got the phone for free in a contest).
So ofcourse I have done some research, and found out that there isn't a lot of information about the Desire S yet. I did stumble upon this (detailed) guide:
youtube.com/watch?v=FaawEVWZvG4
Although I found this guide, my first question is if anyone knows another/even better guide then this one?
My second question is about the actual Digitizer. I found some sellers on ebay, but I find it extremely difficult to determine whether they are good sellers. Does anyone have any experience with sellers on ebay? Are these digitizers of the same quality as the original? I was thinking of the following sellers:
ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-DESIRE-S-SAGA-TOUCH-SCREEN-DIGITIZER-TOOLS-NEW-/310335200835?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48416b5e43#ht_1742wt_1396

Any additional tips about this replacement are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Note: english is not my first language

If ur in the UK try wefixmac.com they have desire s screens
I've had a few iPhone screens off them, top quality and quick delivery. Not sure about fitting tho
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

there are quite a few screens on ebay which claim to be genuine. Not sure if they are but at least you can complain through paypal to get your money back if you don't think the item is genuine. I've only bought a digitizer once before for the iphone 3g from ebay. It turned out to be good quality and it's still in good condition apart from a little dust under the screen which might become an issue, but i think this is an issue anyway with the desire s.
Also, that guide looks pretty good and clear. can't find anything others.

i bought 2 of ebay.. Ath the moment there is a copy (non-original) digitizer on ebay and i do beleive that most of those sold on ebay are copies.. i got 1 from china and 1 from UK. The UK was copy.. The one from Hong-Kong looked like original..
you can understand the non-original as the symbols & the HTC (logo) are how can i say it "less bold" than the original. and the surface of the digitizer is not as smooth to the finger as the original

Do you remember (or can you look up) the one from Hong Kong? This shop looks pretty genuine to me, beacsue they also sell the "Frame Bezelf Housing Case". I find it hard to believe that they also make copies of those, but I might be wrong. They are also the creators of the guide I posted!
stores.ebay.com/kr-net-store
Thanks for all the replies so far!

i got it from here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180681641967
the thing is that this one looked original, but the back of the digitizer (the circuits & the cable ) was a little bit different than original..
The copy which i got from a UK seller looked as a copy (text symbols and touch wise - it even was a fingertips magnet 200% more than original) but looked exactly like the original from behind (even the cable had the same part numbers etc) clearly a great copy job
so you choose original front or original back

[Q] Where to buy genuine HTC battery

I've been looking everywhere for a genuine original HTC Desire battery, but it seems impossible to find them! I've even ordered an expensive one from an eBay seller, but it's just a fake, which looks very similar on the front side but has different backside. It says "Manufactured by Formosa Electronic" in very small text.
Do you have experience that which of these sellers are posting genuine HTC batteries from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B003L716YI/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Or should I just buy the German PolarCell from eBay?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/PolarCell-Ak..._PDA_Akkus&hash=item5ae53643c6#ht_1112wt_1140
Have you been able to recently find a genuine HTC battery for normal price, like around 10 pounds?

It's funny that you ask because I have been looking for a battery today. I found this website that appears to be genuine http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc.aspx but it isn't cheap (about £35).
I'll look forward to the feedback on your other options. I bought one for a Sony Xperia (not mine) for £8 from Amazon and it was fine, but the reviews for the Desire batteries don't look good.

Hi,
recently i bought a "geniue" Battery for my Desire on ebay from a german seller.
When it came, it appeared to be original, but when i installed it, it gave me constant voltage and temperature values. So it was a faked one. I sent it back and became one behaving exactly the same. So i got my money back.
The next one was on Amazon, but not directly from Amazon. It also looked original, but it didn`t fit perfectly and it didn`t even charge. I´m waiting for a replacement atm. I´m still hoping to get a good one. All were about 10 Euro
so 7 pound?
regards

Click to collapse
And the genuine one is 35 pound?
eBay 101 - lesson one - when something looks too good to be true, chances are it isn't.

Original one is around 30€ from registered reseller, 40€ HTC original

I think it's worth telling which seller did we buy from.
The fake which looked almost like the original was from "phonemarketuk" on eBay.
Now I've ordered one from "FoneM8store" from Amazon UK. I'll report when it arrives!
Before I was able to buy an original one from a seller for 7 pounds, so there is hope!
If there is nothing else, I think the best route is to go with PolarCell from Germany.

I´m not sure if it is allowed to post seller´s names here?
I tested the one from Amazon with my battery tester. It had about 1000mAh so the problem is not only the missing of values, but it has also less capacity than the original. Mine has about 1200mAh after 1.2 years.
But the worst was when i applied 5Volts to the Battery, it didnt switch off. So
this could be dangerous if anything in the charger circuit goes wrong.

Hi,
a few days ago the replacement was delivered. This one is original, and has about 1300mAh, so it seems that it was liing around some time.
But all in all ok, cost: 9,60€
Seller: WUSAR (who wants to give it a try)

on ebay, only boxed versions

I've got mine from amazon.de. After two sellers sold me fake ones (in a little plastic bag) for about 10 Euro I bought one directly from amazon. The result: I got a little HTC Box which a genuine battery for about 15 Euros. I dont think amazon.co.uk will sell you fake ones if you buy them directly from them.

Can you post a link? In Amazon.co.uk at least I've spend _ages_ looking for a genuine but there was none, and Amazon wasn't selling any directly.

Hi!
HTC SAV recommended me the HTC Accessory Store as the official HTC reseller. The battery for HTC Desire is expensive (~40 Euros) but I'm bored searching for the cheapest OEM one after being deceived from 2 reputated sellers (not on ebay) with fake ones.
Has anyone ever ordered the battery from that site (htcaccessorystore.com which is in fact Expansys company) ?
And the real question is : is that the genuine one that came with the phone and can be calibrated... ?
Thanks!

taobao.com in china, if you know chinese. but be careful, some batteries are second batteries

not a battery but i've purchased a number of htc things from expansys and found them to be fast, reputable and trusted. if they say it's a genuine battery i'd be inclined to believe them.

I think the conclusion was that the only way to get genuine battery is to buy from the main Amazon.de shop. Be careful, not to by from a reseller, but from the amazon.de seller. Also, on this page one of them is fullfilled by amazon and it says 100% original, it might work.

Not ebay....my battery caught fire and melted my phone....thankfully it still works

You can look for a AOONEN BB99100 BATTERY FOR DESIRE A8181 on ebay: I bought one 3 month ago and it is a very reliable battery, last the same as than the original one.
I'm very pleased with it.
