Accessories

I have an HTC Touch P3450 Elfin for the past 14 months and recently I purchased some accessories from ebay.in . All you need to do is search for HTC on ebay and you'll get mamny products. I bought the following

(a) My hands free kit had become unresponsive, so I bought a HTC HS U110 -3.5mm AUDIO ADAPTER CABLE WITH EARPHONE for Rs 475.00. Its cool.... its actually a micro USB to 3.5mm Adaptor, so you can use ANY headphone available in the market. You can also attend calls while listening to your music!! (Seller - trendy_bazer)

(b) I got a nice leather case with racheted holster for Rs 790.00. Search for Case Mate Case Holster Combo - Black for HTC Touch on ebay. Its nice. The seeler also sent a Protective Screen Guard with it (which itself costs about Rs 130 on ebay). How nice of him.:D (Seller - pareshwins)

(c) CAR CHARGER FOR HTC TOUCH for Rs 199.00. Normally you get this kind of stuff for 800 - 1000 in Mumbai. (Seller - trendy_bazer)

(d) Universal Car Mount Holder with photo frame for Rs 190.00. This gets fixed on my car windshiled and can hold the phone (with or without the Case Mate Case) securely. (Seller - trendy_bazer)

But GUYS.... I have badly scratched my screen and I desperately need a new one.:( Is that thing called a digitizer? Where can I get one? I saw the price of a digitizer somewhere as $10.70.... which means it should be available for about Rs 500? Can it be changed by a non geek like me? Someone was asking for a white casing. Say what.... I think a while casing will also look good. Anyone any idea where to knock doors?

By the way, thnks to this forum, I have Onyx WM6.5 ROM loaded on my (originally WM6.0) phone and lots of cool apps. Thanks xda-developers.
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
^^gr8 accessory list m8..I am yet to get all these..will be needing a pouch, car charger and mount holder..will right away move to ebay and look for it.

Congrats on ur WM6.5..can u also list the cool apps u hv installed in ur elfin?
[Touch GSM Accessories] salilshukla:
^^ Well I have the Onyx 5 Final WM6.5 ROM like you and other apps like Email Scheduler, WorldMate Live, WMM Notes, Auto Call Record, CHome Editor, OneNote Mobile and Powerpoint Mobile, Kevtris2 (Game), S2P MediaPlayer, Bing Search, Currency Convertor, Skype, Facebook, Windows Live and Messenger..... And ah yes, I recently installed the Titanium Shadow Neo skin and added Taskanium, CComm and CMultiClock to it.

One accessory I forgot earlier. I use a Jabra BT125 which I bought for some Rs 1400 from The Mobile Store. Works like a song with my Elfin. :D
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
^^most of the appz u hv seems to be utilities..anyways..gud coll.

One more accessory in my list..

Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4 from eBay
[Touch GSM Accessories] computernerd:
I buy most of my accessories from ebay.com. There are many chinese sellers who sell stuff for cheap. Many ship to india too

I got a Motorala S9 Bluetooth Headset for $30. 8Gb SDHC card for $35, 10 Protective Screen Guard for $1. Bluetooth GPS receiver for $40
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
is the chinese sellers selling the original goods or fake ones???
[Touch GSM Accessories] computernerd:
Most chinese sell OEM stuff. Also look for their rating and uy from trusted sellers. I have not had a problem with any of my accessories i have brought till now. I have been using it for past 6 months
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
m8..can u share the stuffs u hv bought frm them and also the sellers name..so we can trust them since u r satisfied..

Questions about ebay

I have some questions about buying from foreign sellers on ebay. How do you pay them? Is payment directly through credit card or only after transfering funds to your PayPal account? How do you find out the shipping cost to India? Will it not be the case that the shipping cost is sometimes more than the value of the item itself? What about govt imposed import duties, VAT etc? All sellers say on their pages that payment of these taxes is the responsibility of the buyer. So do we pay this or just keep quiet?:D

I desperately need a digitizer for my Elf. I have royally scratched the original one. And Hong Kong sellers on ebay seem to be the only answer. Local HTC service stations quote a price of Rs 5000 for just changing the digitizer.:eek:
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
whoa..whoa..hw many queries...computernerd come to our rescue!!!
[Touch GSM Accessories] computernerd:
Mostly I search for sellers who have a good rating. Also While bidding i always keep in mind shipping costs and approx rate in india. I have mostly found shipping costs to be geniune, not very high

Some items I have brought the are

Item :Scratch Gaurd

Qty : 10 Pieces

Rate : $0.99

Seller : imode_technology_hit

Item : Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headset Headphone Earphone

Rate : $31

Seller : king-shiny

Shipping : Free

Item : Bluetooth GPS Receiver For Laptop PDA Mobile Phone

Rate : $41

Seller : king-shiny

Shipping : Free

Item :	#S8T1 8GB SANDISK MICRO SD HC 8G FIT NOKIA N95 N76 E90

Rate : $ 22

Seller : Donot Remember

Shipping $ 12

There have been instances about 10% when I have not received items from the sellers, but i have been fortunate that the ebay dispute has been resolved in my favor and the money has been refunded to my account

Regarding the payment, I use PayPal. I have added my Indian credit card into PayPal.

Till now i have not paid any Indian taxes. MOst of my purchases have been lesser that $100
[Touch GSM Accessories] salilshukla:
Thanks, computernerd. That answers most of my queries. I think I will get that digitizer soon. Reason why I was asking about taxes is that I am eyeing a camera lens which is cheaper by Rs 12,000 on ebay at singapore than on ebay.in

gr8 goin..gr8 xplanation..keep it flowin
[Touch GSM Accessories] eldrid:
the digitiser can be changed urself if ur game for taking apart ur phone. I just got my digitiser changed last week i bought it from hira panna in mumbai and fit it myself, lots of instructions available on the net. Shopping from ebay us or uk is very easy all you need is a pay pal account. most accessories from china are indeed knock offs, but they work well for the prices they charge.
[Touch GSM Accessories] salilshukla:
How much did the Digitizer cost at Heera Panna? Does it come with tools required to change it? Are Front and Back Covers etc (in different colours)also available there?
[Touch GSM Accessories] mango1122:
Finally i bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/GlobalSat-BT-36...ices?hash=item3354a9431f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
Luks gud m8..hv u received it? wat abt the SD card u ordered?
[Touch GSM Accessories] mango1122:
Ordered it today.Will take at least a fortnight for them to deliver. I got the SD card. Mine was a sandisk.:p
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:

[Touch GSM Accessories] hardikrajgor123:
I have a s9 motorokr bt headset....awesome...got it a yr back for 4500
[Touch GSM Accessories] mango1122:
I have an Elfin and i have a bluetooth GPS reciever [Globsat BT-368] . I seem to have run into some problems. I have managed to get the reciever connected to the Elfin . It seems to work fine with google maps.

The real issue is - i am not able to get it to work with the MapmyIndia software.

If anyone has any idea on this , they can probably help me.

My Ordnale.ini looks like this. I have edited the GPS port to com6 [My GPS reciver is on com6] however i still cannot get it to work.Sometimes the GPS will attach but it would work.It would say waiting for GPS.

plz if u feel that this is a stupid question coz i m new here...is this HTC P3450 called elfin?where can i get new screen coz it has worstly scratched..plz.li m from india.gujrat,surat
[Touch GSM Accessories] ivanmatz:
Elf - p3450 and Elfin - p3452

use ebay for the screen protector

note : look for eBay Top-rated sellers first.
[Touch GSM Accessories] saurabh88:
as u said that mine is elf..but i have had 128mb of ram and in the thread it has written tgat it has only 64mb only...how can be this possible?
[Touch GSM Accessories] ivanmatz:
I never concluded you are having ELF. What I posted is that if your model no. is p3450 then its ELF and if yours is p3452 then its elfin.

The RAM/ROM in ELF is 64/128 whereas in ELFin is 128/256.

Since you said you are having 128MB of RAM then yours is ELFin.
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
eBay is our only option..and like ivan said, get the protector from genuine sellers. Before ordering from them, check their feedbacks. Then order, eBay is full of duplicates.

Note: Good to see indian members are taking this thread as expected.
[Touch GSM Accessories] salilshukla:
I recently purchased a touch screen (digitizer) for my HTC Touch through Global Buy facility of ebay. It cost me Rs. 914.00 and I recieved the merchandise within 2 weeks from New York. They supplied the necessary tools and I changed the screen myself. (Shops in Delhi and auth service centre were asking for Rs. 2200 to Rs. 2500 for the screen, extra for the replacement).

I also bought an S9 Motorola Bluetooth Stereo headset for Rs. 2098 from an Indian seller on ebay. :D:D
[Touch GSM Accessories] saurabh88:
all the items on ebay r original or duplicate?how can we know that?
[Touch GSM Accessories] yogeesharma:
I have some problem with power on/off switch. I feel its spring might have damaged. Would you please guide me how to replace it?
[Touch GSM Accessories] billa vimal:
hey ppl.. can the charger port be replaced on our phone? any clues on the cost?
[Touch GSM Accessories] salilshukla:
I am attaching a PDF for a complete pictorial guide to disassemble the HTC Touch. Maybe it helps you in replacing/setting right the faulty parts.
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
Check whether the guy is a powerseller and most importantly check the feedbacks on the product you are going to purchase.

I have ordered many electroni items thru eBay, I have not got any duplicates, but the items sold to me are foreign made. Meaning, the charger for them will not be having a indian type socket.

True m8, global buy is a real boon for Indian's. Havent ordered any till now, but have bookmarked the items.
[Touch GSM Accessories] saurabh88:
i have seen two members with 99% positive feedback.i want original elfin battery.but the cost for it in india is 1400k and on ebay it is just 8 or 9$??!

because of that i was confused..so will those batterie are original?

i also found duplicate in india of 450ru...
[Touch GSM Accessories] ivanmatz:
Has anyone checked the rates of Digitizer, battery etc for elfin from Heera Panna or any other famous place in Bombay locality. I have heard there are a lot of shops selling HTC components kept low-priced.
[Touch GSM Accessories] salilshukla:
I had it checked up. Mobile Link, Shop No. 85 in Heera Panna was willing to sell digitizer for Rs.1000... without the tools. But he offered to change the digitizer himself.
[Touch GSM Accessories] reanimation556:
bought a car charger for 85rs (chennai)

screen protection sticker 2-nos 398rs(chennai)

htc OE bluetooth headset for 3900rs (kerala)

htc original pouch 300 rs(kerala)

any one know where to buy the whole housing(pannel)

original only no china pls
[Touch GSM Accessories] ivanmatz:
hi,

is this the andheri branch or the worli one
[Touch GSM Accessories] ivanmatz:
hi,

from which place did you purchase that cover case. Is it any where near the south of kerala.
[Touch GSM Accessories] reanimation556:
wat do u mean by cover case?be more specific
[Touch GSM Accessories] ivanmatz:
beg your pardon I meant HTC pouch
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
Was the positive feedback on the elfin battery or for something else? If it is for the battery, then I think u can go ahead. There is a drastic change in price when it comes to spares. You can check it all over eBay. Goto UK or US site and have a look. You will be really amazed.

bought mine in gurgaon. Initially the guy quoted 250, after much bargain got it for 200.
[Touch GSM Accessories] saurabh88:
yes it was for batteries'''

and hey u r using kancruts rom????how is it possible coz it it only for elf not for elfinn?i too use ot on my elfin?i want 6.1....i like it features but it says only for elf.....:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Touch GSM Accessories] reanimation556:

[Touch GSM Accessories] billa vimal:
Has anyone bought a phone thru ebay?? Planning to buy one.. please share your thoughts..
[Touch GSM Accessories] reanimation556:
if its my case,i wouldn't have done that,and i recommend u not to do the same.

they got authorized dealers all over the country,more over u can even try to

get one frm mobile store,universal all those r great sellers,if u don't get ur desired model from them order for one and wait for it.

its ur choice
[Touch GSM Accessories] computernerd:
For the past 4 years I have bought at least 3 phones on ebay (ebay india). I have not faced any major problems. Still you will need to do the following, try searching around the city for the phone and check the lowest available price. Check if the ebay deal is a quite cheaper than the market. Never try and buy a second hand phone(unless you are on very tight budget). Buy with sellers who give bill and warranty.
[Touch GSM Accessories] reanimation556:
buddy if u r look forward for the price i don't have a option for u,i never

did that before and had a lot of experience in buying and selling products through eBay and many more organizations like that,am not telling u that u

will betray u or something like that,the reason is that if u get it frm a dealer u can go there at any time and fight with them is u gets in to any trouble.hehehehe

never mind keep going,do things which u feels right
[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
his ROM is for both Elf and Elfin. I have seen your request in his thread too. Go ahead and try it out. One of the best ROM.

tru m8, no one here in my place had the pouch for my elfin.

I believe, you addressed your reply to the wrong person. I am in no need of a battery or the address from where you purchased the pouch. :)

Its happenin in my Elfin too. May be the sweat is entering the sheath!!! :(

I am using the orig battery. I have to recharge my phone everyday. My usage is like this,

While driving, I hear to music. 1 hour to 45 minutes. One way. While returnin 30 - 45 minutes. When using BT headset, with full volume and BT on.

Without BT headset, 50% volume. Dont use many apps often. But do keep it installed.

Use GPRS only for weather update, once or twice a day.

Phone cal max 1 hour. Normally I dont keep my phone in charge after the amber changes to green. My battery is healthy after a year too.

[Touch GSM Accessories] dre@ms:
The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile is a Bluetooth profile that allows for the wireless transmission of stereo audio from an A2DP source (typically a phone or computer) to an A2DP receiver (a set of Bluetooth headphones or stereo system). Such devices typically also support the AVRCP profile as well in order to allow for track selection and such. A common misconception is that A2DP support is available on all Bluetooth 2.0 devices, which is not the case, and that A2DP is only available on Bluetooth 2.0 devices, which is also not true. A2DP support can exist in older versions of Bluetooth, it just was not commonly supported.

dsixda was good on battery..but without manila and all those flashy things. Try the lite versions.

Havent tried any cases..u can hunt one in ebay.
