Back cover question - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need help. Am going to tmobile store to buy it but unable to decide which color as I'm afraid white will get dirty or yellowish. I would buy it though if we could get replacement back covers to change once it gets dirty.
So can we change back cover with new one? Are they available?

Thanks a lot. Much appreciated. Not convinced of this white especially compared to the z2/one plus/oppo but the grey is too similar to wife's m8.

If your not a case kind of person you could buy a nice skin. Im tempted to get a carbon or kevlar skin and ditch my case. The only down side is what if you drop it on cement. But since you're not puting it in a case anyway that wont matter.

[Q] Replacement LCD needed

Was wondering if anybody knows where I can purchase a new LCD for this phone.
Have looked everywhere online and even those who say they have them when you order actually don't have any.

You cannot replace the glassy front panel. It includes the touchscreen too and replacing it would cost you a fortune

[Q] HTC Double-Dip Case Question

Hello all,
I have seen/heard many things about the double-dip case for the HTC One (which I'm picking up next week!), however I am trying to find & buy the black/grey/black double dip case and can't find it anywhere! If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would me much appreciated.
Also, does it even exist/is it out yet? Almost everywhere I look I only see the red/white/black one, but on HTC's official site, the 4th picture accross shows the one I'm looking for.
Again, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Don't buy the double dip...overpriced...and scratches your phone...

I did read here on the forums that some people's phones were scratched because of it, but that the cause was remnant plastic from the speaker grill holes.
Also, I don't think it is too badly overpriced. Maybe by $5. Most of the other slim cases sell for around $20.

The HTC One itself does bear striking similarities (and I'm getting the black one, so even more so) to the iPhone 5 already, I don't really mind that. After all, everyone tries to copy the iphone in some way or another. Just look at Samsung. Plus, the case is basically the same as the back of the phone itself. Just a little added protection .
I have double dip case and it hasn't scratched my phone. Picking up the case-mate tough case to go with all the others I have. It's an addiction!

Is Black/Grey/Black Double Dip case no longer available ?

I haven't seen all the colors from the official HTC site so I was the wondering what the build quality is.
I'll give it ago anyways. Thanks for the same eBay link, I live in Australia so its very helpful!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
So I bought the grey/black one from that seller. Build quality seems solid. I have never played around with the red/black/grey one so I can't compare.
Fit was snug but no scratches. Volume buttons are a bigger pain then without the case which says something since they already weren't that great. Everything else seems pretty good. I like that it doesn't add much bulk to the phone.
Won the auction on the 19th (Friday) and received the cover on the 30th (Tuesday). Not bad considering it was an international delivery.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Transform HTC One Silver (VZW) to HTC One Black

Anyone know how I can change a HTC One Silver to Black for VZW? I see they have back housings in black on eBay, but do they have a front? Is it fairly difficult to do? I'm not looking for a skin. I really love the black HTC One. Its a shame VZW didn't get it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The HTC One has a unibody enclosure. I think it's safe to say that it's impossible unless you plan on gutting the phone.

You might as well hit the phone with a hammer. This phones got the lowest repair score of any phone. A 1... Is almost impossible to take it appart without damaging it in some way.

it requires a special tool to take it apart. but if they want to change the front and back of the phone, they will need to replace the screen as its 1 piece for the whole front so this means wreak the LCD anyways.
http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/how-to-tear-down-your-htc-one/
it's not going to be a "cheap" color change and you're better off not doing it unless you want to spend the money.

Anyone spends money how they think is necessary/ appropriate, but this phone is simply not designed to be taken apart and attempting to disassemble seems absurd. Money wise makes no sense, you need to buy the back first, and then you need to buy and replace the whole front end... Then you run the risk of completely breaking the device. Oh and not counting that your warranty is completely voided... Seriously. Makes no sense at all. Sell the phone and get a phone with the color you want.

agreed, spray paint or even a vinyl would be a "safer" alternative.
Easiest way would be to look @ your phone through very dark glasses.
Opening the phone will also void your warranty. Just get yourself a nice case in the color you want. It will be MUCH less hassle.
good luck!

Look, TMO doesn't offer black either. So I ordered a black TPU case. It covers up just about the entire phone. Most people seeing me use the phone would think it is black with silver highlights. I'd do that for $10 before I'd attempt to swap out the housing.
Good luck!
What if you housing is already really messed up with scratches dings and all that could you replace it then

You should buy one of the skin kits that makes it look black.

There are many companies that makes skins so search for a good one or kind you like.

[Q] Body swap question

Okay, first I would like to start off that I've been on here for quite some time even though I don't post a whole hell of a lot, so I did search before I got this far lol.... I bought my One a few weeks after the release date and since then I've put quite the dent into it and the speakers have managed to blow somehow.. seeing I have to take apart practically the whole damn phone, I figured go big or go home and decided to do a whole body swap from white to blue... I was ready to order all of the parts on etradesupply.com and I came across this: http://www.etradesupply.com/htc-one-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
As I was reading, I noticed that it said this:
Compatibility: HTC One*801c, 801n, 801s, 801e
I know for a fact this will work on the AT&T and t-mobile versions, can anyone confirm that it will work on Verizon's? I would just wing it and order it but I don't want to spend that much on it and the rest of the parts only for it to not fit.

Talked to HTC, average repair for our One is $90 so to save yourself a headache, might as well let them do the work for you.

Yeah I was gonna end up doing that if it wouldn't work... I was actually going to body swap colors but can't seem to tell if that lcd will work with the Verizon version... I could just do the upper and lower housing but I hear that they'll never stay on properly after install... I had a insured business that offered to do the swap and replace the speakers for $35... Probably not worth the risk.
I am sure they can body swap to a blue for you also for a little extra. I personally love the best buy blue.

I have the choice between red or black.
Which one would you get?
Blue is out of the question, it would cost me too much compare to black or red

Agreed with Andy. I have the blue and its great and all, but I'd hop on black much sooner. Or if they made a mirror finish silver with black accents.

I decided to go the Black route,
I actually liked the red Version but every place I looked at prices for red back was 3 times more than the black Version.

Baby silk white back cover

Hello,
I was wondering whether the OnePlus One back covers are already available somewhere.
In especially the baby skin white version.
Last time I found a website in china that I believe already offered them..
Did anyone else find a site?
Kind regards,
I would also love to know if I can get the white one anywhere
+1 really want a white back cover
Trust me you wouldn't want the white back cover unless you're using it with transparent case or something. The back cover is very soft and prone to micro dents and smudges.
I would probably want the white cover, I did at first, but I think I really want one of the wood options that are rumored to be coming out on the 22nd.
