View 7 RepliesLike the title says folks... has anyone tried changing the housing on their Magic's?
I've seen a gorgeous pink full housing for the magic and was wondering how easy(or hard) it would be to change. I can't find any vid's for it and wondered if anyone had done it themselves?
I finally caught a break yesterday and had the housing replaced on my Hero. I went to the local sprint store a few weeks ago and asked if they could fix my phone. The chrome piece around the charger area had broken away and the aluminum keypad was peeling away around the keys. The store manager said they try to help as much as possible, and would make small repairs, but didn't have any returned Hero's in the inventory. I was as polite as possible and asked if I could call him back and see if any come in within the next few months. He said sure, perhaps thinking I wouldn't follow up.
So yesterday, I dropped in and asked a sales associate if they could repair. I kept the Store Manager's card, telling them that he gave the ok to repair if there were Hero housings in stock. So, BAM, they replaced everything in 1 hour and I now have a new-ish feeling phone!
I'm eligible for an upgrade, but no way I'm buying up with the current crop of phones. Not worth the $200 plus 4G fees.
I bought am SGS off eBay, and despite it supposedly being in "as new" condition, it appears to have been dropped more time than Jordan's knickers, resulting in numerous dents and bashes...so not really "as new" afterall
Apparently I can't do anything about this through eBay, so I need to keep the phone, so really just trying to restore it to a good condition. Does anyone know where I might be able to get an official SGS housing? I've searched all over but have had no joy so far!
When I put it on I realized that it did not come with the antenna attached to the housing. When I put the new housing on, it looked great, but I had no reception. Looks like 3 stickers. I have looked all over and cant find them. Any idea where I could buy one?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe gap between the screen and housing, particularly at the bottom, seems to be pretty wide on my phone. i notice at night that light shines through that gap. Can't tell if the gap has gotten any wider. Just wondering if anyone else notices something similar. Seems like a great place for dust to enter the screen. Especially if light can come through there. Doesn't mean it's not sealed, but obviously it's not a super tight fit.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSlight issue, m8 of mine has trashed the corners of his X10 after dropping down the stairs - and no not to the extent of powerkiter
seen the link for the replacement screen but does anyone know if you can buy the external housing from anywhere
its only slight cosmetic damage but if gets worse it may be cheaper than an insurance claim.
Any idea where I can buy a replacement housing for my Galaxy. Works fine but an accident had left it scratched up and missing the charger port cover. So basically I want to fit a whole new shell on the thing. Screen is scratch-free, but battery cover scratched up and the bit of plastic holding the charger flap snapped so it will need a whole shell. Looked everywhere! An online Samsung repair place wants me to send it in but can't give me a price.

It simulates a higher resolution, fits more text on screen etc. There's an app on the market which does it, although it won't work on the Desire unless you're S-OFF. All you need to do is extract the build.prop file from /system to your PC (in recovery, use ADB PULL), and using a text editor change the value of LCD Density from original 240 to 200, then ADB push it back and reboot. I'm *really* pleased with the result. Combined with Launcher Pro I've a whole new feel to my phone...

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan you change the LED color on the Desire HD? On the original Desire Handcent SMS for example let you change the notification color to blue or red. The HD seems to have these options grayed out so you cannot select a different color. Is this right or just a Handcent issue?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought a HTC Desire and I think I'm getting more used to it, but there is still alot to learn. Starting with I took my phone back to the shop as everything was going onto the phone memory, and I didn't know how to change it to the sd card. The man was very nice and changed it in seconds (not telling me how he did it!). I now find, all my photos and music that were on phone memory, have "disappeared". Do I have to download it all again or is there a way to sort this out?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have talk talk, and my internet is unusable unless I've lowered the mtu to 1458 or 1432 or something like that. My router doesn't support it, so I've had to do it on each device using it manually (boooo). Worked out how to do it on the PC and notebook, but is it even possible on my desire? Or should I go and buy a new router that DOES allow me to change it (in which case, any recommendations?)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a definitive answer as to why the Desire's notification LED won't change colour? I've tried Handcent and got a blue light for SMS delivery, so clearly it is possible, so why can't any other notification app make use of the other colours? (Is there one out there that I've overlooked?) It seems odd that this simple bit of functionality is disabled on a phone that can do so much!
View 10 Replies View RelatedI set a tone when I first got the phone (created the media/notifications folder, put my mp3 in, selected it in the menu.) Well I added some more yesterday, went in a changed it to one of those, but it still played my old tone. So I tried deleting the old tone and leaving just the one I wanted in there - now it doesn't play anything!

Is there a way to change the stock keyboard to one like the iPhones? I've gotten very used to the iPhones keyboard and I absolutely hate the DHD's. How do I get Arabic keyboard? It's not in the settings. Is there a way for me to delete stock apps that come with the phone but don't have a delete option? Is there a way to have calendar events show up on the lock screen? Why is it that the Market place does not ask for password when trying to download an app? Is there a way to set it to do so?
