[Q] my Xda Atom needs a re-looking - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Accessories

Do you know where i can buy new accessories for my 0² Xda Atom.
I mean, my housing is very hold now and i have lost a button on right side.
I would like to buy a sort of kit which would give a new look to my phone. First, a new remplacement housing (maybe different color) and then a new set of buttons.
Do you think that the Atom Life housing can be put on the Classic Atom. This housing is damn beautiful.

If you have any links of sellers, don't hesitate to post.
Thanks again,

No one here ? Thanks.

This should work, maybe I try it my self...

[Q] Should I get the original accessories?

hi everybody!
this is my first post here..
i'm really interested in:
desktop charger/cradle
wallet with wireless keyboard
ATOM mobile strap from atom pure
can somebody give me 5 solid reason why should i buy these accessories?
i can only find wallet with keyboard for MYR$400 (around USD$80-90)..
really want it but actually is it worth my money buying it?
i'm sure the original strap cannot be found elsewhere
(it's platinum made - atom symbol) well if someone can suggest me
an alternative strap that also atom symbol n it's metal.
currently using cheap plastic casing exterior protector but it gets dusty
inside, especially if i put it inside my jeans or slack pocket.
really want to use the wallet.. but to think back, how am i gonna use the
telephone everytime i received a call? loud speaker?...
i just like the original.. or at least not original items but with O² brand.
your positive opinions and suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thx!
as i know, there no thise original accesories.
but other must working with atom

you even can not persuade yourself, why you need others persuade you?
my opinion is you play the PDA not the PDA play with you.

these guys are selling it, but i can't see a keypad.
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/HousingO2XDAExec.php
Drop them an email, maybe they can supply the keypad seperate.
well these all look like alll they have is the two halves of the universal, not the swivel part or keyboard for sale
im looking for the complete replacements
Hey guys why would you not swap an O2 XDA Exec for a T-Mobile Germany? There may be people who are more inclined for a silver model vs. black one...
This way you both will be happy.
For example, I'd swap mine if it were not quite a bit used and I don't want a German keyboard, I need British one.

Its just that I like a change now and then. And I prefer Black a lot. I like that O2 housing. Its wicked. I just did a mistake by buying this silver Orange SPV. I was too much in a hurry. If anyone would like to exchange their Black O2 Housing, Maybe including keyboard+LED's, I will happily give them my Orange Housing + keyboard + Keyboard LED's.

If in Australia the company that repairs 02 phones is in Brisbane, they will sell the back cover (but no other part of the casing). I forget their name. another guy sells complete Atom casings on ebay he may be able to source a complete kit for the 'Life' if that is what you want... - hope that helps
Thanx m8, im gonna ask someone to buy it in Australia for me, cause i live in Mauritius
Im also gonna try the Ebay dude , would be nice if i could get a whole new cover.

They have both the black and the white. I was thinking of picking up a white to replace my black. They are a legit site and have good service, I have used them in the past.
Hi thanks for the link but this is casing for Atom not for Atom Life, im looking for an Atom Life casing

P3300 Housing cover on O2 Orbit???

Hi, I'm from Portugal and I have an O2 Orbit and I need a new housing cover, but since the O2 isn't on sale in Portugal I was wondering if it is possible to use an HTC P3300 cover instead??? Anyone tried this already???
I might be able to help.
is the cover your after for the battery.. if so pm me and i can send you one out. its an old one i had from my old uk 02 Orbit. Im not sure if the p3300 will fit. maybe some one else can help you, but I dont mind sending it out ya,it's just sat here doing nothing, its is a little worn on the silver bits but better than nothing
mavisdavis - Actually I was thinking about the whole cover, battery front and back, but in fact the worst part is the battery cover... If you say you have a battery cover that you don't use and it isn't any trouble to you to send it to me, I'll sure be thankful!!! I'll pay for the ports of course... If so PM me, ok???
Nevertheless my question remains, is it possible to use a P3300 cover in a O2 Orbit???
Thanks in advance
Hugo Costa
The answer to your question is YES, the P3300 housing does fit the xda Orbit, I had one on mine, I still have it and can sell it to you ?
Again thank you very much for your reply, Think I'll be trying one then...
Jester01 - Also thank you very much for your offer but I think the postal costs will be too high to make it worth sending the cover from UK to Portugal...
Nevertheless PM me with your offer, we never know...
Regards

Can't imagine postage to be that much, as these are very light, I would accept £30.00 gbp for it, it is in very good condition and I will include 3 stili as they are different to the orbit one's.

How can you that? XDA Orbit have a locker for the Battery cover, and the p3300 doesnt have, so the extUSB is not in the same position

Sorry to say, but it's the same mother board, so check before you post !
And I've had a p3300 oem HTC housing on my orbit for the past few months, yes you are correct with the battery lock, but that's an addition 02 have added.
does it work vise-versa too? will a xda orbit housing fit with no-hassle on a p3300??
thanx

Couldn't say for definate, but logic states it should as I said I have an Orbit, and used a p3300 housing on it, so there is no reason why it shouldn't work the other way round.
You are just using the components inside and none of the phones original plastics, i.e. you only swap the motherboard, lcd, vibration motor, front earpiece and rear speaker.
You have to also use a different stilus, as they are shaped on the end different.
Hope this helps.

Case: Artemis vs XDA Orbit
As far as I see from this picture and my Artemis in my hand cases seem to be fully exchangeable... Anyone knows for sure?

Jester01: Thank You pal! Now I would buy XDA's one, 'cause I like it better ^^
I tried fitting the p3300 housing (bought from ebay) on my o2 xda and i couldn't do it, i don't know how but it just wouldn't fit and i could see the housing was bulging unnaturally in various places. I got a replacement xda housing set which fit perfectly.
the version i bought from ebay didn't have the side buttons and there are various bits in the back plate - speaker, vibrate device etc which you need to remember to take out and put in the new one.
also, i seem to be getting very poor reception now, i don't know if this is because i've changed the rom (tried oops, touch 4.02 and rolled back the radio version) or perhaps I damaged the antenna somehow by changing the housing?? - anyone with experience?
thanks.

May I ask how much did you pay for that new housing?
For your question, I "guess" that because the housing doesn't fit perfectly, the antenna parts (a metal plate that stick with the body part of the housing) are not attached well to the connector of the phone board. So the signal would be bad.
I said "guess", because I have an experience like this before with my Siemens M55
Oh, one more question which I need to know a lot. Does the front plate (not the battery cover or antenna cover - which of course I knew it's made of plastic) made of Aluminum or plastic?

Thanks, I'll open it up and take a look at the connections - maybe the screws need a bit more tightening.
They both cost around £25 and it's all made of plastic - painted plastic although the XDA case is certainly better quality than the htc design.
I still have the HTC housing which is 'as new'. I'll sell it for £20 if anyone's interested.
How to open the XDA Orbit
Hi,
I would like to change the housing of my XDA Orbit too. But I only found disassembly instructions for HTC P3300 and this instructions did not work. I cant remove the plastic part which covers the gps, gsm and wlan antenna.
Can someone give me a hint or provide disassembly instructions.
Kind regards,

I did find some instructions by googling, I think the trick is to peel off the rear part by levering the stylus in it's port.

touchscreen XDAIIs and XDAIII - the same ? what about this ebay offer ?

hello,
there is a cheap offer for XDAIIs touchscreens on ebay.
i have a XDAIII - not a XDAIIs - i have a PB20B1 (board id 5) - not a PH20B.
does somebody know, if this touchscreen would work on my device ?
thank you!
xda 3 and 2s are the same model.
it´s just the provider name.
(the "real" name is HTC BlueAngel)
in germany its called xda 3 and in usa and england it is called 2s.
but thera are 2 different display types for the Blueangel !
watch the wiki
hello,
i readed the wiki: ok IIs and III should both be board ID 5 - and so they should both have the sony display.
but: the seller says for IIs and for PDA2K ! pda2K would be board ID 6 - so it's not the sony display ?
i don't get it ? does he not know, what he's talking about - or are the displays different - but the touchscreen the same ?
do you know ?
thank you very much.
that should help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD
hello,
actually the wiki does not really answer my question.
i only want to buy the touchscreen-digitizer (only the glass and the digitizer-foil) - not the whole LCD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201516276
Since the sellers at ebay can't tell me, if their touchscreen is for the toppology-LCD (i assume, cause i think in USA might me more toppologys than sonys ??) or for sony-LCD i want to make sure to buy the right thing.
so, there are 2 different LCDs - but do they maybe have the same touchscreen-digitizer (glass and foil) ? if so, i can buy it without doubt.
thank you!
are you german ?
(because you have a xda 3 that is only sell in germany)
hello,
i bought the XDAIII used - from a german guy.
Both touch screens are the same, the difference is in the connector to the back of the lcd, one has wide spacings , the other thinner, the one posted in your ebay link is the thinner one. the only way to tell what screen you need is to look inside. Also the thinner screen has two holes either side the tracks, the wider spaced tracked one has one hole in the centre of the tracks.

Gary
hello,
sorry for the late reply:
i already looked inside my ba - a while ago. i also looked at the wiki. so i'm pretty sure i have the sony LCD.
so, does this touchscreen from ebay fit ?
thank you very much.
I've the same question...

I got lcd with 'wide' tape and just bought a replacement digitizer with 'thin' tape.
I think I'll manage to solder them together.
Question is..
Will it work? If I've done it properly, will it work? (i'm kinda smart with soldering iron xd)
