[Q] can i get this part alone: area with rear camera - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA'ers
I recently bought a used mt4g, super cheap price.. but i got that i paid for ...
Saddly the previous owner really didn't take care of it, he didnt keep it in a case, so its pretty scratched and dinged up... but i can like with those, BUT the worst part is that the covering for the back camera is scratched up badly....
it seriously affects my camera quality.. very blurry and grainy
I partly blame htc for a design flaw/oversight .. why would they have that as the most protruding part of the back of the phone..it should have been recessed..anyway
this is the part i want

I guess that I will probably have to get a whole new housing, as I haven't seen this part alone online anywhere.
If any one has a bricked phone or old housing not in use and the camera area is good PLEASE let me know if i can get it...
thanks in advance

that is actually part of the center frame piece. you should be able to find it new on ebay or amazon.

i have already check both of the recommended sites... no luck so far...
when u say 'its a part of the center frame' does that mean it can not be separated from the housing or it can be ?

two weeks later and i am still unable to source this part..

Looks to me like the green is a little off... are you using the color PMS 376C aka #A4C639?

I'd slap one of those on the back of my G2

Correct about the green being off or correct about you using those colors?
BTW I would definitely get some of these... if I wasn't broke. They design looks great though! Just need the right green and they'll be perfect!
I'd order one. If it's not too pricey.

i'd get some too
EDIT: BTW, I think themeing some after sports teams would get you a bigger market. I'd buy a Dodger Blue one with the LA in the middle without a doubt.

OP i have a suggestion. ive been thinking of having a custom made android sticker myself. can you come up with an Android sticker looking like the pedo bear sticker? i think it would look cool and funny. i definitely will buy a couple.
Id take some for my hardhat and welding hood. Piss all my buddies off who are Iphone babies.
As long as the stickers come off clean without requiring Goo Gone... I'd take a few
i would be intrested also in a few depending on price
edit: apparently someone already beat you to it

My wife dropped it from her lap while getting out of our SUV. It landed face down and looks like it hit the corner first. We have a connection at T-mo so it is getting replaced today, no worries there.
My question is what to do with the busted phone. The LCD is fine and it even accepts input just fine so the digitizer is good. I found several threads on replacing the glass but it seems more of a project than I want to take on. Should I try to get it repaired? Just sell it for parts?
Thank you for reading.

If you can get the phone fixed for less than a hundred you might as well have it done. You could keep it as a spare or sell it for 200 bucks...
That was my though. Any suggestions for getting it fixed in the Seattle area? Or is HTC support a good economical way to go?
You can buy any part you need on ebay, and i just sold my hd2 for 315... so it's def worth it.
I heard HTC is super expensive. Then again it's only hearsay. I say just fix it yourself. If you can't oh well it's a spare.
@cris, what are HD2's going for locally? My brother can't even get rid of a perfectly working HD2 for $200 here in deep south texas.

They are going anywhere from 200 to 250ish here in the nati on craigslist... People are selling them with Android on them which I think is a little sketchy since there are so many builds that aren't perfect. Seems like a lot to me too.

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

I peeled mine off too once H came off. It looks better this way.

[Q] Can this be fixed without buying a new part?

While disassembling the HD2 to fix the overheating CPU issue, I accidentally snapped the cable that is attached to the volume controls. Since hacking on the hd2 always involved the volume controls, it's necessary that I find a solution, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I circled in red the point on the cable that snapped. So all in all, I ask if this current board/cable can be repaired or do I need to find a replacement.

I'm seeing prices upwards of 70 USD
Seen these on likes of ebay for about $25 at the most. Also see them on xda in sales section ...

Ok judging by all the replies so far suggesting I just buy a replacement, it's safe to say that this part is unfix-able and must be replaced?
Only ever seen a ribbon repaired once & that was done by a micro soldering expert & done due to lack of available part.
best bet is new at about $25 inc P&P WW .
Used can found on xda I expect if browse or post a wanted part thread ...
I m a good electronic tecnichian,I solder from about 10 year,I chipped many and many ps1 ps2 xbox ecc.I have a professional aoyue 968 soldering and reworking station,and really good hand and sight.I ve tried to solder the flex of my hd2,the one for spare parts,so I could maybe have 2 hd2 instead of one.I can tell you that it s not possible,and I m sure that no one could solder a thing like taht

replacement options for Gs4 screen? WELP!

I'm having screen issues! :X

Might be able to get away with a warranty claim as it's all damaged underneath, just say you didn't drop it or anything

Who gets warranties on smart phones these days? I paid the $8/mo to Sprint for their warranty plan for two years for basically nothing. Unless you're a clutz (which we all can be at times, sh*t does happen), most people I would like to think that hang around XDA take care of their phones like they are newborn babies (that is, we'll hold them ever so gently but will throw them in a fighter jet traveling 1000000mph).
In any event OP, I would guess the problem is with your digitizer, since that is what makes the magic happen and produce our images. You could try taking your phone apart to see if by some miracle the ribbon was knocked loose. Otherwise, might need a new digitizer.
