more importantly, is there somebody that sells the housings for the MT3G? cnn.cn has the merlot one, but i'm not really interested in merlot lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
I found the exact same one on ebay for much cheaper. not sure if it will fit though. the microphone looks like its on the RIGHT side =| but the casing is tmobile branded what gives? oh and its not the 3.5 mm mytouch 2 version. and I went to a local shop, they said they will charge me $39.99 for labor + parts if I dont buy it. is it worth it? or should I let my bro (semi professional) changed a n95 housing before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Tempestrs4:
The Mytouch and HTC Magic are different

I just took my MyTouch 3g completely apart trying to change the faceplate and back plate from white to black. It wasn't very difficult just take your time and be careful not to rip any ribbons (like the one that goes from the lcd to the mainboard. Anyway back to the title of the post. It is not possible to change the middle portion of the Mytouch. It is thicker than the HTC Magic and the new battery cover is too shallow and the microphone is on the opposite side. The front casing fits just fine but it didn't include the metal things the screws need to stay seated to i just gave up and took the silver buttons of the new housing and replaced the original white ones. So now, I have a White MyTouch with silver buttons. If you get a replacement housing on ebay, make sure the front housing includes the metal parts glued onto it so that you can screw it back together.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
so theres no possible way to change the middle "different colored" part? :( what if I drill a small hole? sad thing is the paint off the middle part is chipping off -_-. so I will have a ghetto red mytouch with white buttons, and a unmatched "golden" middle part with paint coming off? thanks for the help though tempestrs. Got a question do you have to remove the LCD off of the mother board to install the faceplate?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Tempestrs4:
Even if you drill a small hole, there is a plastic part at the bottom of the mytouch that comes off. It has two contact points that must be aligned with the motherboard underneath. I'm not sure what these contact points are for but i would guess that they are for the microphone and possibly some sort of antenna. Also, since the middle portion of the mytouch is thicker than the cases sold on ebay (which are probably for a 32A), even if you did manage to swap out the mother boards and get the contacts under the bottom panel to touch, the vibration motor wouldn't work.

The LCD has to be pulled off of the front faceplate because it is glued around the edges. Just be careful while pulling it off so you don't tear off the ribbon that attaches the LCD to the motherboard. You will need a small torx screwdriver to take apart most of the mytouch. You will also need a small1.6mm precision screwdriver to take off two tiny screws that hold the faceplate to the motherboard. You can get the screwdrivers from any RadioShack.

The buttons on the faceplate are real easy to swap out. They're held on by little plastic rods that stick out from the face plate, about 2 per button. You can just pull the old ones off and put the new ones in their place. You will have to push them down so the little rods go through the corresponding holes in the buttons.

If you take off the back cover of the mytouch, you will see that on the top part on either side of the camera, there are two "stickers" that are white and go into the motherboard. I think that those are antennas for the radio and things. It would be difficult to remove them in tact if you wanted to swap out the middle portion of the mytouch so I would advise that you leave the middle portion alone.

Hope this helps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
did you happen to put a new faceplate on yours?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] Tempestrs4:
I only changed the buttons because the faceplate I ordered didn't have the screw fittings necessary for it to be able to be reassembled. Otherwise it would have a nice shiny new black faceplate. I need to order another face plate that has the fittings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] driftmania:
Please let us know if you happen to find one. Damn T-Mobile, why can't they just get the normal Magic like the rest of the world.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
mines one the way. hopefully it fits. if not Im leaving tmobile for good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] trekkie0927:
I also have experience taking apart both the Magic and MyTouch. Like Tempestrs4 said, it's not that hard. 6 screws behind behind the battery cover. Pry the middle piece off, then remove 2 screws on top and on the left side of the board take the whole thing off the faceplate. You'll have to push the screen off the faceplate because they're stuck together from double sided tape.

And yes, the MyTouch is thicker than the Magic. Only the top faceplate is exchangeable along with buttons, speaker grill and trackball. A bit disappointing because I was going to assemble a pink MyTouch for a friend. The only solution is to either spray paint the battery cover or buy an external casing that basically only exposes the faceplate. Spay painting the battery cover shouldn't be too hard, sand off the paint first, tape mask, apply primer, then spray!

The Magic is awesome, can get all sorts of colored housing and trackball~
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
WTH i have a faceplate with no gold platings now Im stuck I cant seem to take the gold screw holes out of the old faceplate any help?

Is there an official stock WM6.5 ROM thats just come out for the Diamond2 that works in the Diamond?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] idloco:
Nope, If you use that rom on a Diamond1 It will brick your phone. There are plenty of 6.5 roms up here for the Diamond 1, just make sure you have HSPL and everything should be fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] vnt:
brick

have you tried it and it bricks your phone?

how about unpack the ROM of Diamond2 and pack it for Diamond 1?

the only issue may be the available of RAM after boot

[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
Hey guys,

Well, a little background: Last night all inbound communications stopped on my phone. I went to the sprint store and they told me the radio was tanked. They gave me a new hero. Awesome? Well, I was wondering if anyone knew of differences between "with google" on the back? My sprint guy said that the new batch they got in yesterday has the battery update I posted about in another thread and that " The radio failure should be fixed". It is still using the ghetto love that is cupcake with CDMA support. Any thoughts?

--Matt
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
well the "with google" phones are no different (hardware wise) then phones without the branding. well except.... the branding

but I am curious to the battery update thing :rolleyes:

has it been confirmed by sprint? How will they push the update?
[Hero CDMA General] indovina:
Can you post the version and build information that's in the "About phone" section of your settings? That should help clarify whether your new phone has upgraded software that might include the battery fix, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
Well, the reason I asked is because my sprint guy said that it has a revised radio...but he could be full of sh*t.

Phone:

Firmware:1.5

[Hero CDMA General] v3lly2:
Yeah, he was full of it because my hero is not with Google branded, but everything is the same. I hate how some of them just talk without knowing what they are talking about. I swear its weird when you know more than the person that gets paid to help you. It's like knowing more than your tutor.

[Hero CDMA General] a99tandem:
I am a Sprint employee and have had my Hero for about a month and a half now. Version 1.22 doesnt support Google Voice search, where 1.29 does. Aside from that, the only difference I have noticed is that 1.22 used to randomly reboot, where 1.29 is much more stable, if not using a bit more battery power.

Can I set diffrent, one, wallpeper for each desktops or one wallpaper for all desktop, without 'scrolling wallpaper'?

PS. I using CyanogenMod 4.2.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] scrufy:
I have not seen any way to do that, I think the code is written using the wallpaper spread out and then using the num of windows split between it but a single reference to the background

Hope I'm wrong but thats what it seems to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] slashbeast:
I google something interesing "You can set 320x480 wallpaper by app 'Wallpeper Set & Save', free from market, after it, it will be not scrollable.". So I can set one wallpaper, not scrollable.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am trying to fix this. On train.. when trying to reflash newest radio I am gwtting an error on line 2. Something about dream device... sorry to be vague.

I am using the newest radio as issued with Cyanogens bid to follow googles orders. I am using the newer recovery image.. not the pimped out one, the one with all the optionsa to wipe cache and partition .

I have downloaded the newest radio (which is probably the same I am already running) and named it to update.zip, rebopoted intp recoverey... apply update zip..then after verifying a get an erreor about dream.. I am using pvt dream 1000.

Any ideas? You should be able to reflash radio with same veresion, right?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
Prepare for an insulting post!

Your bum smells....

Don't rely on the recovery image to wipe the ext partition. I've found on more than one occasion that using the "wipe ext" option doesn't do the job it's there for. Try going through console or ADB and manually removing the app, app-private, app_s and dalvik cache directories in /system/sd then redoing what you're doing to see if that helps. It doesn't hurt to be thorough when not wiping causing problems.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntiNSA:
I'm not trying to wipe; I'm tryting to reflash my radio. It is renamed to update.zip on my sdcard now. I don't have access to my laptop now... can you fastboot flash a radio? Through the recovery method I am getting an error. Can you reflash a radio with the same version? Foregive me if there is a huge thread on this. I tried to search the forum but have not found the answer.

First you should post your problem in the ROM thread of Miri. He would have a better idea of what the problem is. It is likely a shortcut problem, but none the less he needs to know about it. If you can see camera.exe in windows try to open it from the file camera.exe with file explorer. If it works create a new shortcut.

Well, certainly, the site will live as there is a lot of free (copyrighted ;)) software here, developed by XDA members. It is not only about WM6.5.

As for it, you still have China :). ROMBeta for example. Or probably the takedown was a hoax.

IMHO MS just used us :(. They read the thread to get to know about bugs of their recent builds. All we were their free testers. And now, as WM6.5 is officially out, it is a copyrighted product, and we don't have permission to do smth unless we buy it.

I do not like when I am used in such a rude manner, so I will continue using my Diamond, and when it breaks, make sure to buy an Android phone from HTC :).

Of course all these words are rubbish, if it was a hoax and we will continue experiencing WM6.5 ;).

yeah, they care more about keeping their cashcrop site up than the actual users. there aint no reason they couldnt rapidshare them files and post the new links in the thread, see the entire blueangel/wallaby sections. its all ftp links that are dead.

i'm sure i'll catch heat for my pro-user point of view here, but the fact remains they make more than enough money on this site to buy a decent server that doesnt take 30seconds to load, and maybe not removing the only link to a file leaving people completely SOL.

ms won't do anything to xda. xda sells more WM phones than ms could ever do alone, i know this because its 90% of the reason why i own as many HTCs as i do.

Not this garbage again!!

Are we sure that this "internet investigator" is real now? The last time it was some punk saying that they represented M$ and because of him, a bunch of roms ended up being taken down (even if they were not hosted in the xda servers.

I am so tired of this crap it isn't even funny...

@OneSman,

M$ isn't really using you since they are not offering you anything for free. You just happen to see it and use it. If you happen to report bugs, it is for the Chefs and not for M$ (however, they get to read your comments/reports as well). Don't expect any developer to give you any freebies simply because you are beta testing something. I still have to see the dev who does that.

@cerjam,

The management of XDA irks you? Why? If you are sent a letter from a company that has enough lawyers to sue you till the middle of next week, you will take corrective action. End of story... I think XDA's management is superb considering the amount of flow of information and users in this site.

Please lets not make another epic thread(s) for this "investigator" until we know it is a real M$ as$h0l3.

i own a few shady sites. i don't bend over for dmca or supposed emails from maybe some idiot from some company.

there is no reason they have to piss on the userbase like they do.

sure, i can see a problem hosting the **** in the xda-dev ftp. but it is irresponsible to the community to not have backups and to not make the files obtainable elsewhere.

point is they put ms and other pricks over their users. the people who make them money, who keep their site alive. there is no legal reason for them to bend over and just go OK /DELETE. specially without warning.
[About XDA developers] egzthunder1:
Don't get me wrong, I hate them as much as I can (and then some), but the site admins have to play it safe... because they have such a large user base, they have to ensure that the site will keep on going and that it won't be taken down. I do agree about the back ups though...

Yeah, I suppose they could use RapidShare or something, but if they upload all their files all at once to RapidShare, that could lead a suspicious trail, and what are they gonna say? "MS E-mailed us, so we put all of our illegal files on RapidShare." Lighten up a bit. It's FAR better to have a website with all the tools to learn how to mod your own device and to try and find the files yourself (which I'm sure are out there), than to have the files for at most a few months or a year or so and then have this site, probably the best WM site in existence, completely go under. Besides, if people have to work to find the files, it'll make the end product feel that much nicer.
