Does anyone know where to look purchase the stock faceplate/bezel on the Verizon xv6800? Its the dark blue cover.
If not stock, just a different faceplate. I just don't want a snap on case...I was trying to replace the stock one.
Thanks!
Im with him, looking at the same replacement faceplate for my phone
The japanese website www.cnn.cn has them instock here is the link $79.99 a little steep, I'd just destroy the phone and claim it oon the insurance for $50. The cool thing is they have it in 2 different colors for Verizon the original dark blue and the black so if you dont like blue you can change it. They also have the Telus version in Silver but I dont think the buttons are the same on that one.

I've purchased different housings for different phones through them before. They are very good, shipping takes a few extra days about 1 week due to it coming from Japan. I recommend them though, never had a problem.
Are these hard for a novice user to put on...do I need a technician.

Hi
Has anyone seen a black casing for the kaiser, the plastic which has htc written on, i want the front to be black rather than grey.
I'm thinking of getting replacement plastics for it, its in terrible cosmetic condition.
Thanks
Is this wat you're looking for?
Searching for housing instead of casing did the job for me.

That one shows a grey/silver front in the picture.
Other than some unofficial knockoff from some place in China, via Ebay (which looked really badly produced), I haven't seen any other all black housings around. There is always the option to use the all black aluminium case of course, which makes it even thicker.

search on ebay. they have available parts for shipping that are way cheaper than the ones on the site posted earlier.
I've been searching for a while, i've tried ebay but i've never found anything apart from the original grey front
I've found vinyl stickers, maybe i can find a black one

Most people are searching for replacement parts. There are very few " customized " parts for these phones, as they are $500 disposable items. There is no market for customizing something that is going to be yesterday's technology in less than a year.

i beg to differ..when it comes to technology of these mobiles, oppose to cosmetics and maybe software,..it's more like every 3 years. Now, as technology progresses so will the speed of advancement. The kaiser is 2006 Technology, and just now are we seeing truely new chipsets (not just a smaller chip and bump to 528 mhz) like most modern android phones today oppose to our device. So we are currently on the wave of new mobile technology..so in a way ur right and wrong, it looks like the next year or so will be wat you said especially if you just bought a phone..and for some one like me who has had a kaiser for couple years it will be nothing but a routine upgrade
My son decided to color his and I am going to sell it. I need to replace these.
Link to a site that sells them?
Also interested in finding out. Closest thing I've found is a listing on ebay for 30 bucks... are all mytouch3g 32B? so far all i've found are magic housings and they dont fit.

Heard of Ebay?
Tho the Black housing with the grey/silver midsection I must say are more difficult to find.
Contact the seller before purchasing. Make sure it is the correct housing for what you need. 3.5mm headphone jack or not. It's not shown in picture and I've no idea what myTouch model you have. Only the red and fender edition seem to have the myTouch logo on the back cover tho..........
There are many mor listings but I only noticed this particular seller at a quick glance selling a black housing with the grey/silver midsection rather then the red midsection.

Luckily, I've 2 Magics and not myTouchs, so it's far easier to find housings. I've 2 of every available color.
I like to match.
I don't use no fancy cases. I like my phones bare. Just use the hTC sleeve.
I was actually looking today and they are not at all hard to find. If you CANNOT find one on eBay (which you can - I've was JUST looking at them maybe an hour ago) here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/
That's where I get just about everything else. A little pricey, but convenient none-the-less.
Ok, so I wanted the damn Fender edition MyTouch 3G, but I had to nag a certain boyfriend to get off his butt and order it (since our T-Mobile account is in his name) for weeks, and by the time I got him to do it it was out of stock.
I've been watching ebay, but new in box ones go for $300-400, and that's a bit steep for me. However, I saw someone selling the Fender edition housing and chassis and shipping from Hong Kong, and T-Mobile is selling the MyTouch 3.5mm for $50 with contract at the moment, so I figured what the hell, I'd trade in my old Wing (Which has been acting flaky for a while now) and get a standard MyTouch 3G 3.5mm version, get the Fender housing, and voila, I have the phone I want!
So I've gone ahead and ordered both and only now realized I don't know for sure how to do the replacement.
I know there are threads about Magic housing replacements, but the Magic and the MyTouch have different housings. I'm assuming the MyTouch 3.5mm should work perfectly with the Fender edition housing since the 3.5mm is basically the Fender edition without the Fender branded housing.
But has anyone done this specific replacement? Is there a walk through or video somewhere?

if your boyfriend is to lazy to drive to t-mobile then he is gonna be to lazy to swap the housings, and if you attempt it yourself you'll probably break the phone so your you should just stick to the phone you got from t-mobile and not swap them.
I'm not sure why you would think I intended to have my boyfriend do the replacement. I intend to do it myself, and have from the beginning.
My housing still hasn't arrived, but it should do so soon. The seller gave a shipping time estimate of 7-15 business days. When I do the replacement I will take pictures and post a walkthrough, since no one else seems to have done so. I build my own computers, and have done some electronics work (I fixed my DVD player when one of the capacitors in its internal power supply died, by desoldering and removing the old capacitor and soldering in an equivalent replacement) so I figure I can probably handle this.

ok well good luck on the screen. let me know how it works out for ya.
Seems like you are a tech geeky gf. Anyway, just buy a set of security screw mini bit set. Cause for the phone on most smart phone uses either mini or macro security screws. Get a set from home depot. What I am worry is, I ran across two interior hardware setup for both fenders and mytouch 3.5mm edition while cleaning the interior of my phones. (Got a ass sister like to drop in washing machines ).
What I meant is, your case you order maybe off set on some screw holes or just do no fit.
You might notice those housing are not Genuine housing partz. Maybe more flimsy and break easier.
sent from myTouch 3g 1.2 using XDA app
Well, as you can see here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150485093942
The kit comes with a set of tools, which I'm assuming should cover things. Otherwise I do have a bunch of electronics screwdrivers laying around somewhere. Honestly from the looks of the kit and how complete it is (Assuming it's not just a total scam) my guess is that whatever company in China or Taiwan they have producing service kits for T-Mobile is selling them out the back door.
It could be a cheap knock-off of course, but it doesn't seem to be. I guess I'll see when it comes, along with whether or not the screw holes line up. At worst I can always rebay it, and it was only $27 anyway. I think I can download a service manual for my phone from T-Mobile that includes disassembly and re-assembly instructions.
And yes I'm something of a geek, or at least I'm good with my hands. I make furniture. Since all the nice custom OEM docking stations and car docks for the MyTouch seem to have long since sold out and been discontinued, I'm thinking of getting a block of burl wood of some sort, and a set of mini USB connectors, and carving my own. It would match the dash in my Town & Country better that way anyway. Plus if the design worked out I could sell them

not trying to be mean, but you do understand how it works swapping out the housings?
it'll be easy taking the back part off, after that the screen will not be easy, and really time consuming if even possible. there is a digitizer glued onto the housing, so unless your capable of removing the digitzer successfully, and reapplying it in working order i wouldn't suggest it.
Well, several other people have posted that they have swapped their housings successfully, so I'm hopeful.
Finished a couple days ago (Been having too much fun with it to post about it). It wasn't very hard. Only separating the screen from the faceplate was even a little bit tricky, and that was no big deal.
The sapphire service manual PDF from HTC that you can find on these forums is all you need, and most of the steps on it aren't even needed.
I was going to make a walkthrough, but when I went to take it apart I realized my phone is my only camera, and I didn't want to wait for my boyfriend to get home from work so that I could use his phone.
The only real annoyance was that the housing kit I got from ebay didn't have the little clear plastic piece that goes across the hole in the battery cover that the camera snaps pictures through, or the mesh looking thing that covers the speaker port. But I got out my hobby knife kit, which had a tool in it that was perfect for peeling those things off my old battery cover, and the adhesive from that stuck to the new battery cover fine, so that took care of that.
Oh, if anyone wants a stock black MyTouch 3G faceplate and battery cover, I'll sell 'em cheap
Hope to see at least pics, I'd love to do this on my 1.2 as well, dirt and dust is too easy to see on my stock black housing xD
In a nutshell I have this today:
It's my first day with my phone. I cannot use any case because in my country (Turkey) it's impossible to find any cases. I bought some but they will be delivered at least 1 month ago.
So is there any-where to find a replacement part for my back cover? I asked it to Oneplus itself but they told me that they don't sell spare parts. I looked into ebay but there's not any of it.
I know it's not a big thing but I have a big OCD problem. And it looks like a disaster to me.
ANy help will be appreciated.
I've seen many parts on eBay for OnePlus 3 but no replacement back cover yet. They have everything else though like front glass, vibration motor, battery, antenna, speaker, camera cable.

Ouch, I feel your pain dude.. I would suggest maybe covering it up with a skin for the time being and when they do start making replacement backings eventually, get one then..
two months ago, seen at Aliexpress, price was around 70$, but now item is not available. Just contact with CS and ask how much they will charge for back housing replacement at RMA.
https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-3-skins
Try one of these in the meanwhile. I'm sure you'll find a combination that suits your style!

Im sure trying to replace it on your own will cause more damage to the device because you can mess up adhesives, screen, other internals & etc
And when they say they dont sell parts it means you will endup with a cheaper manufactured backcover that is not even original. Just keep the device as it is those two dots shouldnt bother you
I'll bough 2 original cases. I think it will be ok when I get them.
By the way on the teardown videos of OnePLus 3 it looks pretty easy to remove the back cover. No adhesive or something. Just removing the bottom screws will do the job.
Man, i had the absolute same problem. When i unpacked my OP3, the charger fell out of the xox and hit the phone on the absolute same place on the bezel
I sold mine on ebay the other day and ordered a new one.
it's really simple to disassemble op3. two screws, and back cover is removed. no glue, ect.

I know I'm late here but how do you guys suggest it would be possible to produce fake back housings at the price they are charging for them? I mean how many people would realistically buy parts exclusively made for one device, and an oneplus 3 at that? A few thousand people at most? If this is the case I don't think it would be financially viable to make any sort of production line for these parts. Aside from stealing original ones from the factory, or mabye defective ones I don't see how they would produce such a limited quantity for so cheap unless they are originals? Any insight?
There are many options for the back cover. The back on my Oneplus 3 was damaged but not as bad as yours. I was planning to replace my back but all i had was a tiny scratch so it wasn't worth it. I will change it when my back is really messed up. When you search for the cover on ebay just search for battery cover You can tell most fakes as they don't have the oneplus logo and for a different colour, try to get one with the sim card tray. Try to get a cover near Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangdong that's where the Oneplus headquaters is. There's also a midnight black cover as well!

Hey all,
I finally got one, at a pretty good deal from Alibaba (8GB/256GB for $800 + $45 DHL shipping). I unboxed it and noticed two sticking edges, like very thin black silicone edges. Anything to worry about? it's unexpected obviously and I assume it wasn't finalized properly at the factory. No visible side effects although I suspect its effect on the phone IP rating.

You can probably return it but might take a month to get replacement
If it's barely visible I wouldn't bother
I pulled one of the edges out and it just went and snipped the other one with a delicate cutter tool, as I figured it's better than pulling it. Couldn't leave it hanging like that. I doubt it did anything, but I dunno, it's kinda weird receiving an $800 phone like that.
Well firstly I would like to as you if it is a global or a Chinese version, 800$ seems quite cheap and you might have received a refurbished phone rather than a new phone at that price point, I don't know the market value for this phone now but still should be higher than that even though Xiaomi 12 has been announced but not yet released
You can get it for $800 from Alibaba and the specific seller I got it from has quite a lot of happy reviews and no mentioning of a refurbished one, so I think it's safe to say it isn't. It's the Chinese variant of the phone, as it didn't make sense to get the global one.
I never heard of silicone sealant being used on smartphones. Acetic acid is corrosive unless they used the 2 part potting silicone mix designed for electronics. So there's that...
Always cut (razor blade), never pull.
Could be a refurb with sloppy replacement panel
Go to the site and check the IMEI numbers to see if it's been used in china before, it will tell you the exact date
Which site? I was only able to find this and it won't say dates: https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei.
