Hi
I have a little problem, I droped my HOX and now it has a little scratch on bottom, you cant even see it, but I know it is there. So did someone ever replaced whole back cover? And another reason for that is that I kinda want white HOX and i have black Can you give me the link where to buy it and is it hard to replace it?

Yep did mine from a shop on eBay - just search.
Took 10 mins to change. It was surprisingly easy. I went from grey to white. Hardest part is remembering to move the speaker circuit.

So a couple of months a go I came here for help replacing my screen and that all went swimmingly, thanks for that by the way
Before the screen broke though, i when the screen popped up I had red/blue tints everywhere and stuff, somebody told me it was a damaged cable in the middle. This carried on after my screen replacement and was manageable because it went after fiddling for a bit. But now it always does it and it isn't just red and blue tints, now I'm getting orange, purples and greens everywhere when the screens flipped up and red and blue when it isn't. So I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get a replacement cable or main insides or something in the uk?

this place is awesome and should have what u need as long as u dont mind s+h
Thanks dude but I wasn't looking for a replacement screen, I meant the insides of the actual phone or the cable that connects the two halves of the phone together

i was under the impression the site has them...maybe im wrong but if u click the link and scroll left...browse the listings and i thought i saw it under flex cables (if thats what ur talking about)
Hi guys,
Today I accidentally knocked the side of my 2week old Desire which has just got out of the HTC repair centre after 7 weeks!!! The knock caused the metal surrounding the screen to pop away from the fascia and become bent. I decided to remove it in an attempt to bend it back into shape and then out it back on, however this only made it worse as it I ended up bending it all out of shape/
What I need to buy is the metal part of the front case. It is simply clipped into place however I cannot find it anywhere. I thought about buying a dummy phone and taking it from that.
Please throw your ideas and suggestions at me.
Luke
Did you knock it or whack it with a hammer?
Anyway, if you take the time to google "HTC desire spare parts" you get loads of results

you could also try to buy a bricked phone.. I'm sure you could get it for dirt cheap. It's just a matter of searching.
If you get hold of one, before you put it on sand it down and Polish it so its nice and shiny, will look great

I knocked it on a door.
Well I have bought a dummy phone off eBay and I'm going to try and remove the metal frame from that. Only problem is it may end of getting damaged in the process. The metal is so weak, I don't think it is designed to be removed.

You can get spare cases for the desire on ebay. Maybe you can remove just the metal frame from those?
Hi Guys,
From youtube videos (I know great source of info) it seems that removing back cover on HOX is quite easy.
So two questions come to mind first one no one makes entire back cover replacements in many colours?
Also anyone know where I could get the least original white back cover?
I want to sell my HOX and camera lens is scratched. Does not interfer with pictures due to location of it but still.
Cheers,
Luka
I found a lot of them when looking for a black and white one.

it's not that simple!!
at first you will void your warranty as soon as you detach the cover...then believe me that it's very difficult and you could damage the inner frame or other components, since there's a lot of glue that make you feel the phone very solid in your hands...
but believe me that it's a real pain to change the cover...the most difficult part of opening your phone...
however you should do it just if it's stricly necessary imho...
Nah it's really easy. Takes 10 mins to switch over. There is no glue really. For the most part it is clipped on.
I say go for it. I got my white original cover off ebay for £30.
my camera lens also got little scratched. Is there any chance to replace it only? anyone with the same problem?

Maybe we have different version of One X...
I repaired my touchscreen and my htc was full of glue and sticker anywhere...it was the hardest part for me to detach the cover!
However could you tell me where to buy a black one low cost and new?
Thank you!
You got your white original cover off ebay for £30, can u provide the link of the stuff here?
I would be very happy if i could change my display since its screwed haha...and dont change the back cover, take one of those silikon cases

Thx guys, got one in post from link provided. Now wait till Lumia 920 and htc 8x are available for sale to choose one and sell One X

My One X has a creaking corner, where the original back cover seems to give in a little. Any guesses if getting a replacement (because the camera lens also has a few scratches) would help? Maybe the fit would be better... or is the creaking problem something related to how the phone itself sits inside the cover, and getting a new back would be pointless?
Has someone experiences with cases from Hong Kong?
They are cheaper and include the SIM Tray...

After putting the whole thing back together, doesn't the phone start creaking, especially at the bottom part?
No
Opened mine 2 times and the bottom fits better than when it came out of the box.
Only opened it to clean the camera lens from inside and always used the same cover it came with.

Great! That's really nice to hear.
Changed mine from black to white... After changing, my phone is more solid then the out-of-the-box black... Wifi reception is better... Needa change it after my friend knocked my hand while crossing the road... Screen is intact and unscathed though...

Hi guys, MY HOX has recently been playing up in the centre of the screen it has no touch sensitivity, anything i try and press around that region does not work. However i installed a zagg last night and used the spray that came with it. Im wondering if that has effect my phone? I tryed to look for the water indicator in the sim slot to see if it got water inside their how ever i can not find it. im very worried because i used the zagg solution that when i try to take the phone back they will say it has been water damaged and will not replace/fix the issue.Any help would be great thanks.
You waited 24h after applying it didn't you?
You should wait it out.
There is no way you could've triggered the water indicators by only spraying on the screen.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the snappy reply i took the protector off shortly when i noticed the sensitivity issue.
So you still have touch problems without the protector?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
yea, but i did not have this problem before the protector.
No worries, normal usage of the solution shouldn't have done any damage.
To be on the safe side, put it to a bag of rice for 24h, that should get rid of moisture if there's any.
Then send it for repair and hope for best.
Best of luck for you.

Looks like you have a defective screen. Dont worry about it. Mine started being unresponsive in the middle of the screen 2 weeks ago, so i called HTC and they booked UPS to pickup my phone on Monday morning and i got it back on thursday morning with a new screen and jelly bean installed(I had Coredroid ICS 5.1 installed). I also have two friends with One X's that had the same problem two months ago. Both screen replacement
Try wiping your phone. I had problems with my screen as well recently. Didn't know why, and seemed to come out if nowhere. I factory reset it and it was good after that.
Maybe you have a hardware issue, but this is at least one quick thing you can try before giving your phone to HTC.
Goodluck

its not the zagg
I have the zagg on my hox since 4-5 months... May be your device is having faulty screen.. get it replaced.
Never had problem like that.
Does anyone know what part is required to replace the back plastic part at top of phone which has the power button within it please? It's cracked at the left most end.

Have you tried e-bay? I've seen people buy the speaker covers there. Maybe someone had that part as well.
How the hell did it crack. Just wondering so I don't do it.
EDIT - just looked on ebay and it appears that if you buy a new back cover the picture looks as if the part you need is included. I'd ask the seller first though.
Just search HTC One M8 parts.

Yeah I since found out that's the part I need after reading the iFixit guide.
I'm not sure exactly how I did it, I've dropped it once and although it was in a case, the impact must have been enough to crack the plastic.
The fix doesn't look too hard actually. Hardest part is warming up the glue holding the speaker grilles. Rest is simple guitar pick prising apart.

Chris, That sucks. I dropped my phone the 3rd day I had it, without a case on and the only thing that happened is some very small scratches on the edge bezel. I would have never noticed them if I hadn't have been building a model (hobby) and was painting with my detail magnification glasses on and my phone rang. I looked at iFixit before I decided on the M8 because this is the first phone without a removable battery and I wanted to know how hard it would be to open it up and replace stuff. They make is sound so hard but I think it doesn't look that hard after getting the glue soft.
Good luck and let us know how the repair goes. :good:
