I have been checking some online-shops (inc. ebay) in the search of the keypad(plastic thingie, without circuits) with a wheel but with no luck - they are not sold separately from housing, nor many housings are sold without them.
Can anyone give me a clue if I can find that piece somewhere?
It seems there is a thin metalic layer. This one is very fragile: on my phone, this layer begins to peel off. Does anyone know how to change it?

that same **** happens to me, but no that serious, only the little "line" that its in the red and green icons. I guess that your using your fingernails, right?
Nope. But when cleaning my screen, I put a little bit of water on it, then rub it with a tissue. I think the tissue gets caught on the small holes and tear off the metallic layer... One of my colleague has the same problem.
Once it has begun, you cannot stop the layer unsticking.
Uh! need!!
Yes I me too..
please help... broken idem.-
Mine is even worse not even the metal layer has been scratched off but the keypad is also cracked in the middle and the scroll-wheel does not work
This keypad is really a crap. And the phone surface is not guaranteed by HTC (of course)!
I will receive an HD 2 in a few days. My operator could rebuy my Polaris for 18 € (for recycling it)
to wagner51
dude if you're gonna sell it that cheap, let me know. i'll give you an alright price for it with postage etc
same problem
I am facing the same problem: the metallic-coated front panel is scratchy, and just last week it was broken from the upper middle section. If anyone could give advice on how to fix/replace it, it would be most appreciated.

the second option is this
Black Rubberized Protector
the second option, ins´t hard, so I liked more
if the first one really protect my front buttons I will use.
For screen I will use bestskinsever and for the keyboard I need find something to protect too if possible.
If anyone can give some opinions I will like
Sorry for the english or noob question.
tks
I use something just like your second photo. I like it alot...it makes my phone a tad thicker, but the black looks nice and the grippy surface is great. It doesn't slip out of your hand so much.
Yea, me too. I use a blakc "rubberized crystal" cover that i got from this website
www.pocketsolution.com
and it works fantastic. it does make the phone a littl ebit bigger, but the protection that it has is well worth it, ive drpped my phone onto concrete a few times and nothing happened.
it usually runs around like 14 bucks or so, but i have codes for discounts on pocketsolution.com for free shipping and for like 20% off. send me a pm if you are interested.
That link doesn't work. It's an empty URL with ads and stuff.
...but you can get those black grippy covers on E-Bay for like five bucks. Mine was ten shipped. Not too bad for what you get! Just search for "8525 black case" or something.
tks, I bought the second option.
I'am looking for a black front cover replacement for the Qtek 8500, because I got a pink one but want to change color. Where can I get this part. Couldn't find anything with google!
cover
look on ebay, you can find used phones with broken charging ports for sale for parts.
Some kids apparently use for example black fingernail polish and then a clearcoat on top..I just purchased a cheap boxwave skin for my recently purchased cheap pink phone. ;P
$0.99 + about $4.50 in shipping...

Coloring in the Pink
I used a black permanent marker but it didn't work out too good.
It's starting to wear off and bits of the pink is showing through.
Anyone else have experiences painting the covers?

Thats the purpose of the clearcoat on top to prevent the ink running off...you could probably reapply the marker and then clear fingernail polish and see how it goes. Heck...the clear stuff they put on top of the fingernail polish may have a different name for all I know...I just know a friends kid painted her phone and when I asked he said it was fingernail polish.
I do know that people in one phone section used clear nail polish around where the stylus goes in and out to prevent the manufacturers paint from wearing off.
Is there an instructional teardown of the EVO 3D anywhere out there?
Sprint just told me that my phone has no insurance despite the fact that I've ALWAYS gotten insurance on my phones (they did this with my OG Evo when I first got it as well)
I dropped the phone and the corner of the fascia became separated from the main housing. Not a huge problem, the screen and all other hardware is 100%. The problem is, when I have it in my pocket, the separated area snags on everything and bends more and more as the days go on.
I took it to Sprint who "fixed" it for free despite my lack of insurance. Their "fix" was to apply some gasket tape to the affected area and hand it back to me. So now it's still separated, but there's some sticky gasket in the gap to attract all kinds of fun little particles.
I just want to order a fascia from Amazon or eBay and replace it my damned self.
Any guides?
Search amazon or google for the parts. When my screen broke I remember seeing the phones housing for sale too wich also included tools. As for instructions, there should be plenty on youtube. Hope it helps

My other shooter is an FNAR .308
This is the best video I could find. Post some pictures of the damage, If need be I can tear mine down(I've done it before) and take pics for you.
Actually just needed the bezel off. I thought the digitizer was part of that component. All's going well now:

Good Day All,
I am in a bit of a predicament. On Saturday, I had my phone in hand and heard a *crack* (I can only suppose my subconscious telekinetic powers were left on), looked down and noticed that there was a somewhat small crack about 1.5 inches up from the back capacitive button all the way across to the home cap button. Basically making any key presses in that lower region of my screen and cap buttons unusable.
I just watched the YouTube tear down video and I'm curious as to if I purchase the Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly(See pics below) will this cover everything that I need for the replacement?

I found a US supplier on eBay with it for $170.99 with a decent ship time (4 business days).
--I have noticed that Most of the non-ebay suppliers are out of stock on the digitizer all together.
Any suggestions/advice is much appreciated.
can't u just take it to a fixer it's the safest way if ur nervous

Because the local "fixers" are gonna want to charge a markup on the actual screen/assembly while still adding on for repairing the damage. Versus actually buying the part myself and giving it to them to fix(Which is also a probably option).
Have you contacted LG. I heard they do the repairs too. It's obviously much safer and I think cheaper.
Very unfortunate, the main screen of my brand new Oppo Find N is already broken. I haven't dropped it or covered it with dust or sand, just had it in my pocket for 5 days. When I opened it today there was this white line. With the finger i felt a piece of dust beneath the screen - the hinge seems not very safe against dust from the pocket. It reminds me of the first Galaxy Fold which was very sensitive. Very unfortunate. I hope no one else has a similiar issue, I'll send it back for warranty coverage...

Wooooow
Thats a bit concerning…
That is very concerning for sure. I spent a lot of money for the phone and question the type of warranty I will get from the seller I purchased from. I had not even thought about this outcome before and has me very concerned for sure.
Wooh this is not good... Hope you can get some help with the seller or through de warranty....
Cheers
Did you resolve the issue via seller or source a repair (presumably screen replacement?) - I'm looking at a phone with a similar issue - did it need to go back to china to be repaired & did that happen okay?
I'd be interested in your outcome
OP no longer posts in XDA forums hence no matter whether his phone was repaired or not, it seems he moved to iOS.
Device was replaced.
where did you get your device replaced? I have the exact same thing happened to my phone!
Same question. I have a black dot (diameter 0,4 cm ) on the unfolded screen
