I can get the battery door only for about $55 each. Looks like they can come with a silver, gold, or red bezel too.
[HTC EVO 3D] cds36:
Nice im down for a silver one
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
If anyone is interested, you can contact

http://www.htcrepairparts.com/

The plum one and gold bezel black ones I ordered from them took a couple of weeks to arrive.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisc627:
got the same result here but i have sent out emails to several of my wholesalers on this and they know the intended purpose and amount we will possibly need. So i am working on it as well and hope to hear something soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
That's pretty cool. However, $55 just for a battery door is a terrible price. .. now $55 for a full housing is a different story :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
Agreed...waiting for better news....

I have managed to contact a few vendors myself, most seem to be out of stock but I will know soon enough. From what I've come up with so far, for a minimum of 20 housings, the price thus far is 56, and $60 to get them all shipped to my doorstep. I will have more information once new units replenish.
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
So if the minimum amount is ordered, that would be $59 ($56 + ($60/20 = $3) a piece your cost (less any up-charge for your effort) plus shipping from your door to ours, correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] affliction:
i got my housing to day i ordered it from ebay which by the way it didnt take long and i got a tracking number so it was safe.but does anyone know where the youtube video is to install it because i cant find it?
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Waaayyy too mucchhh money for a simple Battery Door, the black one is in ebay for 20 dollars, so paying 25 or 30 for the white one would be a nice price. And a 50 for Full Housing, I will buy the Housing NEXT YEAR LOL!
[HTC EVO 3D] andrewxu:
I'm still in!
[HTC EVO 3D] tjb3401:
where did you get that from?
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
Emailed to me from the vendor I mentioned in my post.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
$55 each for just the battery door?! Jeebus, that thing made of white gold?!?!
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
Precisely. Hopefully that price will go down.

I'm a nice person here, I'm not making any money off of this. And also because the housing is already this expensive. The shipping charge to anyone's door will be next to nothing, I can just USPS them out.

What I will be doing is if I get confirmation that I can order a minimum of 20 housings or more, I will start a new thread and get some interest going so see maybe if we can get a larger group buy, thus leaving for a lower initial cost.

I'll be on here as soon as I hear back from these vendors.

[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Haven't counted, but appears that we already have over 20 buyers. $60 is the max i would spend on a full white housing( silver bezel, Im afraid that red bezel is knock-off). Thanks to everyone contacting vendors an trying to make this happen for us!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] SpunkyXL:
I'm in for the white housing
[HTC EVO 3D] nkawal:
AGREED...........wassup mike. Longtime

[HTC EVO 3D] random1204:
Yup, totally in. It looks so much better.

Plus I dropped mine on the front bezel...and it looks like CRAP.

Silver shows through the black way too easily. haha
[HTC EVO 3D] hshshawn:
I would be in on this as well
[HTC EVO 3D] mysterfix:
Count me in for one as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
I went through all the posts and counted up 32, by counting everyone that stated they were in. I also threw in the few who stated they were in pending a price. I mentioned to the vendor that I had 15-20 interested. These additional few that added on in the past few days will definitely help get costs down. I am contacting everyone again as I have not heard anything back as of yet.

If anyone has changed their mind on this group by, please reply as you are no longer interested.
[HTC EVO 3D] Brutus2TheMax:
Hoping you counted me as I OP'd it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want a tear down of this damn phone so I know what I'm doing!
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
You're number 1 lol. But what I was thinking about doing is trying to get just one housing, ensure it fits perfect and flush, create a teardown and reassembly video and be able to get things going.

Vendors have been contacts so hopefully I will hear back shortly.
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
Heres a pretty good teardown video...just mute unless you like awful music! Hahaha!

im in so let me know how this goes
[HTC EVO 3D] iamdata:
im interested in this too, I have GSM and am in UK, so would need shipping here. please PM me about it if any issues but would like the white with the silver bezel thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] htcEVO9:
jsut checked on ebay and htc repair, any white housing sets for the 3d are running about 90-almost 100, so regardless if we only pay 60 or so for it then its still a great deal... but lower is deff better :D
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
No way I'd pay $100!!! You can file an insurance claim on your phone an pay $100 to get a new one and request white. Every time my Evo 4G was replaced they asked if I wanted black or white....
[HTC EVO 3D] mbobino:
I'm in for two if they're going to run for $75 or less each. Hell, If I can get a guarantee that it'll arrive I'll paypal $150 for two of em today.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
Don't think this idea would work. I tried the same trick when I had an og evo and they told me some bull crap about how they had different model/serial (not 100% on what they said as it was a long time ago) numbers so it wouldn't possible to claim the same insurance with it. I think its stupid and they should allow this but they were very stern about not going through with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
all i want is the damn battery door haha and i cant find it anywhere. im fixing to call HTC and just request one, or ask where i can get one.
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
Just to make everyone aware, you will HAVE to swap the phone housing back to the original to get any service or repair on the device, if you plan to take it into a Sprint Store. I was denied service because I had swapped to a white housing.
[HTC EVO 3D] alammori:
Maybe the OP should add a disclaimer, replacing your housing with a white one..blah ..blah ..blah .. will void your warranty. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] htcEVO9:
hope this helps man. amazon has oem battery doors for 10 dollars. not sure if its the same exact 1 that ships with the phone. better to pay 10 than 80 for a battery door lol

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-EVO-3D-No...29PK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1321983128&sr=8-3
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
Already been done my friend. I've called HTC (they will refer you to 3rd party accessory sellers, most of who won't have ANY battery doors, let alone white ones).

I've called the local sprint stores that do repairs. Some weren't even aware that there were white ones, the others didn't have them.

Called Radio Shack. They don't have any spare parts. The people in this thread that HAVE found them (like myself) have put a lot of time into finding them. I found just the back battery door in white, but it's not cheap.

Feel free to help us out though.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Your link is for a black battery door
[HTC EVO 3D] htcEVO9:
he didnt specify what color he was lookin for. just tryin to help him out is all
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
Yeah, but the thread title is "HTC EVO 3D White Housing and Battery Door!!!" ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] htcEVO9:
thank you for pointing out the OBVIOUS im pretty sure you should also tell the one person who requested a BLACK housing for his phone that this thread is for WHITE housings. u never know what if that one guy was looking a black battery door
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Wasn't trying to be rude, sorry if you took it that way. I just assumed that you meant to link a white door since that's what the thread is about. Also we've mentioned numerous times before that the black doors are on Ebay 24/7 and can be bought for less than $15 shipped. Anyway, enough threadjacking, back to your regularly scheduled program....
[HTC EVO 3D] 3vo kid:

[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
so where did you exactly get it? i think its funny how expensive the piece of plastic is haha
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
Yeah I saw those earlier and was happy, until I noticed all the metal is missing. the silver camera surround bezel is gone, chrome HTC logo is gone and the silver headphone ring appears to be gone as well.

It may just be a bootleg and they removed the "trademark" stuff for the photo purposes? I emailed them and hadn't heard back on what the deal is. I'll let ya'll know if I hear anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] jtgarza3:
thats good i was about to email them as well, if it doesnt have those things missing i will be ordering one. Cant wait to hear what the response is, i put a friends white one on mine and it looks pretty sweet with the black and cant wait to get one.
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:

[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
I have been looking into battery doors as well, but they will get very pricey, it's almost worth it to just get the whole housing.

Just contacted a few vendors to get status updates, doubt anyone is open today. Hopefully these housings arrive sooner than later. I'm getting pretty damn anxious, I don't know about you all haha.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Lay on the carbs
[HTC EVO 3D] slapshot591:
Heard back from a few people today. I'm pretty sure the three suppliers I'm speaking are all ordering the white housings from the same manufacturer. Only reason everyone is simultaneously out of stock.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dsmwookie:
So I bought a Hercules this morning for my wife. I played with it today while she was at work and enjoyed the device. I have owned a Dell Streak 5 and Samsung Vibrant. This seems like a happy median. I am torn though on whether I should use my current Vibrant until the Nexus comes out (If ever) for T-Mo.

Does anyone have some insider information as far as timing or carrier availability for the Nexus? I am afraid my impatience is going to get the best of me and force me into the Hercules.

Please keep in mind that I've never flashed a rom or rooted a phone. I generally just use them for what they are and go about my day. Quadrant scores mean very little, if it performs my tasks that is all I really care about. Navigation, Web surfing, calling, and the occasional movie or music are my main habits, oh and tethering. Although the resolution to some seem to be an issue I did not really notice it and I love the Super Amoled. Thanks in advance guys!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
The Tmobil SGS2 is a beast but the nexus prime is verizon exclusive so if u want to wait awhile until it comes to other carriers, go ahead. i love my SGS2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dsmwookie:
That is what I heard, but how long do these type of exclusive offers usually last?

One other question about this device. Does it still allow USB tethering and wifi hotspot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
i was gonna wait for the nexus too but i said frick it and bought an SGS2.if the nexus is all that and a bag of chips when it comes out ill just sell this phone and get it. e-bay dont discriminate and if i lose a hundred or 2 on a phone then i really could care less. only thing about the nexus that ive never really liked is the rom skin that comes with it. ill probably just use this phone till next year whe the next superphone after nexus that comes to tmobile that samsung or whoever makes. i get a new phone every year but this year ive gotten two counting my sensation
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
1) aprox 3 month

2) it was mentioned in another phone, it does not, but you can get around it by rooting the phone and installing the app to allow tethering
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dsmwookie:
I gotta say that really pisses me off. We can't root the phones yet either can we? I don't mind learning something new, but forcing me to is aggravating me. T-mo has always been a pretty laid back and unrestricted company, but this kind of bull **** is about to send me off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
don't worry, the root will come soon enough

today is the official 1st day....

even the best of phone hackers/developers will need at least 24hrs of continuous work to get it root right
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dsmwookie:
Oh no sweat. I m not in that big of a rush. I am just new to "rooting" and generally like very thorough instructions when performing something technical. I just feel like T-mobile is spitting in our faces by limiting us on this all of a sudden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Craigerz:
Guys...seriously...what is going on with GB?

Even after the update that supposedly fixed the 3g toggle issues with switchpro it's still not working...at least for me.

Also any clue when the GPS toggle will be fixed?

Or better yet...does anyone reccomend another app that does the same thing ad switchpro but actually works with GB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KLLSWITCH:
i think its you i have no issues with switchpro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Craigerz:
Well I know there was some compatibility issues with switchpro and gingerbread and the update switchpro update yesterday (I think) was supposed to fix that. My 3g toggle still isn't working the way it did with froyo unfortunately.

EDIT: just in case anyone else was having this problem I uninstalled, rebooted twice, reinstalled...and now my 3g toggle is working again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] godgib:
So i want 2 Touch Slide 4G, but on the value plan tmo whats you to pay retail for the phone and that's like $1000. Here's my work around.... No not craigslist, Go to best buy get the the classic family 1000 with data and txting it's comes out to $119 a month for the two lines. Pay $0 for the 2 phones at best buy. Wait a month and pay tmo 400 for changing my plan to the value family 1000 thats $79 a and re-up my conteract for two yrs.

The differance in the two plans is $40X24=960

I gave tmo 0 for the phones and 400 for the EFT so I'm out 400.

I paid a month at 119 Add 40 thats the differeance for one month.

So i either got two NEW phones for 440, Maybe even cheaper then craiglist.

Or I save 560 over 24 months.

The Very Simple Math

960-400+40=520

What Am I missing. Have I overlooked something. Has anyone tried something like this
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
i got 2 line value plans last month and i didnt like paying full price for the phones but i am pretty sure u cant pay to switch ur CONTRACT so just get the value plans and pay full price
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Col.Kernel:
I could be mistaken, but I thought that on the Value Plan you paid the subsidized cost up front and they pro rated the balance by adding the remaining cost to your bill. Call TMo to be sure, or find a company store (not a franchise).

I just rooted and flashed CM7.1. It's working perfectly and is blazing fast.

I need to take a few trips to Canada in the next couple weeks. Normally for my radio needs I would use streaming radio (car FM radio is broken in my 99 Accord, aux works fine), but since I want to avoid data roaming charges that's not an option.

I tested out the FM Radio and it works just fine. Strong signal and everything. The only problem is I can't scan for stations. I tried Spirit FM but the scan function doesn't seem to work.

Anyone got a solution for me?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NCguy:
I was playing with the SGS2 in the tmo store today and I just dont understand how they partitioned the internal memory.

This was a virgin phone, just powered up. Under manage apps, all, it showed 1.9gb free. Under SD card it showed 11 GB free. There was no SD card in the slot.

So it looks like they have partitioned the internal memory to create an 11 gb pseudo SD card.

Does this mean you can't use more than 1.9gb real internal memory without going to the pseudo SD card?

Do you have to install to SD (when allowed) to actually use up the rest of the program memory?

I'm assuming that when you actually can install to the SD card that its still going to place a large chunk of the app in the 1.9gb real internal memory like on previous phones? If this is true you would run out of the 1.9gb way before you could use up the 11gb pseudo sd card. This would prevent you from installing any more apps.

What happens to the 11gb on the pseudo SD card when you actually insert a real 32GB SD card? Does the real SD card show up as a second SD card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heXacode:
There had to be a SD card on that phone. It wouldn't read 11gb with nothing in it. Try it on your phone. You take it out and your phone will notify you of no SD card since it will not read anything. Therefore you won't be able to see how much space is left on it.

Did you take the back cover off the phone at the store? I've never been able to do that since almost all stores have their devices locked.

You can put a greater memory capacity SD card on a phone as long as it is legit and will fit the SD Card slot. It will read it and tell you how much space is left on it.

I don't believe anything will be automatically moved to the SD card as soon as you insert it. It takes time to build up what the phone will automatically or manually write to the SD card. Most SD cards, that come pre-loaded with the phone, usually already have something on on the SD card. Brand new SD cards usually are about 98% empty. They will have small folders/files that are property of the SD card but are not even noticeable when seeing how much memory it took to hold those pre-loaded files/folders.

Hope this shed a little light on your questions. If you're not too sure about specs of that then it doesn't hurt to see what a representative would know about why it looks odd that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NCguy:
There was no SD card in the phone. The store rep removed the cover. Are you sure that the 16gb internal isnt partioned to have a pseudo sd card?
