Hi all, pretty new to all this myself, I havent gotten a TyTN yet, but I was wondering if the actual housing on the TyTN can be swapped for a housing like off the O2 or Dopod 838 pro, I like the looks of the other phones better, but would rather avoid qwertz keyboards etc. and get an unbranded phone, I would think the housings interchange, but I am not sure, also even if you happen to have just torn one apart could you tell me if it is too difficult..as in likely to break something, I am fairly good at small electronics repair and such, so I feel pretty competent in tha matter, just thought I would try and check into a few things first.
Thanks
If you're talking specifically to change the button layouts, no. Because the TyTN is based on HERM200, aka HTC Mercury. The O2 trion, 838 Pro and all that other ones with the rounded button pad is based on HERM100, aka HTC Hermes.
Thank you very much for the info, I hadnt realized there was a 100 and 200 yet, I havent been into cell phones long so I'm tryin to learn as much as I can in a very short period, and sorting through all these models can be somewhat crazy at times,
Well you could just get a Dopop 838 pro. The housing is the same as the Trion and it has a QWERTY keyboard. Or you could get a Trion, remap the keys and switch the Y and the Z key.
where can I get a replacement housing??
silly quesiton..
Im not a fan of leather pouches etc, and in the past with my nokias I've simply used the phone for a while and then replaced the housing with a new one.. i realise this doesnt protect the screen/etc . but it works for me.. Where could I get a new housing from??

Hi, like I said above, I havent been into this stuff for long, but unless you get a housing from HTC directly, or one of the other maunfacturers, being so early I doubt you would find any on ebay, I'm still on the lookout for just an aluminum case myself, http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58505 I hate leather cases, and my luck, I would lean against something and jab the screen through my jeans, if I dont have it protected.
If you do find any housing would you please post back, I'm seriously thinkin of tearing mine apart, and possibly modding the housing, and also I'm thinkin the button arrangement is on a different PCB that just connects to the main board with a socket or cable, that way they arent having to produce two different lines of main/motherboards, I could be wrong about the board arrangement, but if its seperate, then the 100 and 200 housings should swap, this is all just me thinkin and guessin, I have only been into moddin pc's.
Phame: I have been goin back anf forth between the ecact same thought, I do like the looks of the Dopod and Trion better, but I notice the buttons on the front call/end etc are slightly raised which could cause me to hit them accidentally a bit more, and in one review I read that the TyTN were some what more user friendly, I just finally told myself to snag the TyTN, once it get scratched or something, I'll just take it apart, and have one of my friends with an airbrush make it look good,
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get spare parts for the TyTn. I've managed to crush the plastic cover over the camera If anyone would be willing to sell me the spare part from a bricked device then I would be very grateful.
They have a Dopod housing here for $53 US

Softbank 2MP Camera Part
I am looking for a camera replacement part for my Softbank. I was the part that caused my Softbank to display totally WHITE SCREEN.
Here is the story:
Last five months I accidentally dropped my Hermes on the floor carpet and when I turned it on, it displayed all WHITE SCREEN. I tot the LCD screen was the culprit and bought some LCD for replacement from eBay. I dismantled everything and tried to replace the LCD but it resulted the same WHITE SCREEN. Then I dismantled the Jog Dial and the Camera and reattached part by part. The jog dial caused no problem but the Camera showed positive result on WHITE SCREEN behavior. Now I dismantled the Camera and my SOftbank X01HT works like a charm... Well almost like a charm with no 2MP Camera... LOL...
So I am looking for the part also to put it back on my TyTn...

Broken ATT 8525, Touch screen totaled
I was taking photos and drop it right on the face. I was using it as a iPod with a unregistered go phone sim card till I did a Master Reset and now it's a paper weight because I can't do the start up BS. Touch screen is totaled but the rest of the internal parts and battery are good, front cover don't look bad, back is great, have 2 stylus and a hard metal case for it too. PM me here and we'll work something out, Paypal OK. Vince
It's a paper weight to me, I'm not going to put money other than shipping is someone wants to send me a screen for the joy of it, if I fix it I'd just give it to my sister anyway. I'm happy with my Tilt and I'm ready to move on to the Fuse soon, thanks for the replies!!

Need a replacement motherboard (main) for HTC TYTN
Friends,
My HTC TyTN has problems with some connectors right on the main motherboard..... I would like to know if anyone has any spare HTC TyTN which is completely broken and can be usable for its spares......
Also, if any one is aware of any site where I can get the mani motherboard...it would be really helpful.
thanks

I am interested too in a motherboard of Tytn. I have problem that a connector (for a screen flex cable) on my motherboard is damaged. Is it possible to fix it (for example to change that connector with a new one)? Does anyone know how to do so? I really need help...
thanks in advance
Hi,
Has anyone purchased one of the HTC 8525 OEM housings from cnn.cn. If so what was the quality like and are they new housings? None of the re-branded TyTn's seem to use this housing so I'm wondering if they are manufacured specifically for, or by, cnn.cn?
Also, what are the service and delivery charges like from cnn.cn.

I bought a blackberry case from them and it arrived in 8 days. Great service for 5 USD in my opinion.
I'm curious about that tytn housing unit too.
They have taken it down for some reason.
O was gonna try it.

8525 Housing
I might as well just add to this thread
You guys think this is worth a shot? The last owner of my phone jacked up a couple parts of the current housing.

That'd look great on the 8525. You may want to check this out for a step-by-step guide.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1152710&page=1&pp=15
Judging by it's looks, it only works with Hern100 devices (8525, m3100, etc) and wont work with the TyTN. (herm200)
I could be wrong though.
The D-Pad layout is a bit different, but if you get the D-Pad
http://cnn.cn/shop/cingular-8525htc-hermes-outside-keypad-p-1610.html
and what goes under the D-Pad, you might be able to get it to work.
But that's kind of not worth the effort though.
I am yet to find a stylish housing for my tytn. It's all scratched out but I hate that Dopod housing.
Since there is no flipping way, HTC is going to make the original housing available to anyone, it would have been nice if someone came out with a more stylish design.

I'd love to pick up an all black housing like that but it has one thing that keeps me from doing it.. the front facing camera hole. since i have an 8525.. it would just be an open hole on the front of my phone which would look dumb and get lots of dust inside.

I have one on the way..
is it really hard to get the original HTC grey version? I've seen loads of the dopod versions, some with some without the video button.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290143857315&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=019
is htc but dont know if button configuration is right for hermes 200 (Anyone confirm this?) does that have video button??
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....PageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015#ebayphotohosting
Its the closest one ive seen to mine but branded CHT DOPOD
Ive seen people ask htc to replace it but had no sucess. Its really annoying considering we all dont keep the phones forever and selling them off is harder when you cant get the original housing replaced.
that black htc housing DOES have the video button but the layout is different than the herm200.
the red hangup button and the green phone button are not on the right place on that case.
I have taken my tytn apart. What goes under the D-Pad in herme200 looks different than the ones in herm100. Even if you did get that case and the right d-pad, your buttons wont fall on the right spot. therefore the phone button and the hangup button wont work.
I wonder if HTC repair center would replace the housing.

Need help!!!
Smashed my LCD and orded a replacement from HK. The part number they sent me was 60H00037-00M. After installing it, all I get is a white screen. Sent it back and recieved another one with the same number and again the same deal!!!
The part number Im chasing is 60H00056-00m or TX0704APAA1. I think it is a mfg by Hitachi.
I cant find anything with this part number on the net and was wondering if anyone knows if there is an equivalent that could be used insted.
Mal..
Are you sure that your connections are secure and lined up properly? I replaced the screen on my 8525 and the ribbon cable was not connected properly the first go round. It is the one with the tiny screws.

Teknics, are yoy refering to the two incy wincy screws that fasten the ribbon to the d-pad at the bottom?

Yes that cable, but also make sure the ribbon cable that slides into the locking connector on the main board is in properly also.
HK?????
hi all
i have been looking for a replacement rear speaker and a front facing camera for my phone and so far the only leads i have been able to get is to look on ebay for someone selling their damaged phone for parts. you mentioned a HK in your first post is that a place to buy Hermes spare parts and if so is there a minimum amount that you have to buy?

HK refers to Hong Kong you can purchase screens and digitizers that i know of but as far as small inexpinsive electronics i think your sol. just out of curiousity did you manage to blow the speakers or what? i have played some pretty loud music through my hermes using mortplayer and have not managed to blow them yet.

I am looking for a TX0704APAA1 for my HTC Tytn.
Apparantly this is the Hitachi model other models are also available on ebay (Samsung and Toppoly). As I understand Samsung and Toppoly are not compatible with one another apparently they use different controllers.
As for the Hitachi I have know idea whether it is compatible with Samsung or Toppoly, which is why I am on my quest after the Hitachi...
Anyone know where I can get one?
I think this one might work.

Instead of buying the housing for it just buy a dummy phone from ebay or whatever and use that housing. Its much cheaper that way.

you'll find the herald service manual along with many other htc phones on this site...but for all who don't care to search here ya go...just make sure you know what you're doing. It's cheaper to pay a technician to change housing or a part than to buy a new phone.
cheers
i too was searching for this as owning a supposed herald is great in my book over owning a common wing
none the less they are quite different, main peices are the buttons and the camera flash differ to the point where i dont think the housing will work
I see the housings avail..but no one has the Heralds buttons avail.
It may not work... one the hardware buttons are different, two the flashing leds on the speaker are a little more spread out (this may be able to be fixed depending on how the internals are set up). Other than that it may work if you can find the hardware buttons from a herald/p4350. Best of luck to you!
methinks the wing and the herald are technically two different models because of things like the leds.
Herald- HTC P4350
Atlas- T-Mobile Wing
t-wing/herald
I dissagre..Ive replaced my wing screen twice and it seems to me itll work fine. the key and kamera will fit ok, its just the lights you may or may not loose. it depens on the heralds top plate.
So let me get this straight... i r a little confused
The attached jpeg down there wouldn't work if I wanted to take that housing and use it on my wing?
So If I install a Tmowing mainboard on a Herald it will work??
they have the full housing on ebay including buttons.
I found different housings for my T-mobile Wing. The question is how I can take it apart? All of the sellers say it doesn't come with any instructions!
This is the black housing that I've found : T-mobile wing black housing
I also found P4350 housing but I'm not sure it fits on Wing or not. HTC P4350 Housing
