So, planning to get the gsm version of 3VO when it's out in the UK But imo i think the golden rim surrounding the camera(s) is not as good as the red one.
Can anyone confirm that the rim is fixed on the back cover or the camera?
Is it possible to switch the cover and that makes a perfect phone for me
RED IS THE NEW BLACK! ANYONE?
It's fixed on the cover.
Its attached to the cover, but you might not be able to swap it that easy because of the placement of phone parts.

I've just bought an OEM battery cover off eBay recently to replace mine that has the Telstra logo on it. The battery cover seemed fine and solid, and it looked and felt alot like the original one.
But the only problem is that it has no grill/metal netting on the hole for the speaker. Any idea how I can come about this? Or how I can remove the grill from the original cover and glue it back on the replacement?
Thanks in advance.!
I just bought a new back cover too, it is impossible to tell the difference! $24 US delivered, HTC want US$100 delivered
The speaker mesh can be very easily pushed out from the opposite side, only lite adhesive holds it in place.
It is the volume key that proves a slight challange but even that is no big deal, just a very fine flat head screw driver to pry out plastic welds by inserting the fine screw driver as close to each weld as possible so as not to break the delicate plastic.
where dit u order them??
I got mine form ebay
However someone needs to design one with these features:
Piano black style (same as phone)
Alternate colours
Perfectly aligned reset hole
Small closable door to remove SD Card
Tighter fit to prevent the horrible crackling noises (especially around the volume keys)
This would sell like hot cakes!
I just received mine from MSG Distributors NY and it did cost around $30 delivered but what a huge difference over the Telus stock cover. This one does include the mesh grill. I ordered this due to the camera bezel being scratched on my used Telus 8285.
It does NOT have the squeaks the original cover had, it's much tighter fit and sturdier too.

Thanks all. I peeled the speaker mesh with a pocket knife.
The replacement ones look and feel better, so definitely not worth a 100 bucks on an original one. Too bad the replacement one doesn't come with volume rockers as well. So again, I had to carefully take the original one off.
P/S - Bought mine from eBay..

So I have been on a 2 month odyssey with my uk, euro titan and its original back cover, although I had its original back cover painted white and works great, I have been trying to buy replacement back covers from ebay only to find that they do not securely fit, after a few tugs, pulling it out of my pocked or just letting it drop lightly say on my couch, the back cover and phone easily come apart.
I have purchased from sellers in china and even purchased from a supposed uk seller from ebay.co.uk who turned out to still be a seller in china, both covers do clasp into place with the phones screen/guts, but pop easily out with the slightest bump.
I currently am in contact with HTC America who are going to send me an oem back cover however it has been backordered for 2 weeks now.
although I love my painted white back cover, it has experienced wear and tear and i just long for things to be "normal" again. my question is has anyone heard of this problem with the titan and back covers that don't fit properly? besides buying a $70 oem back cover from htc uk accessories, does anyone have any tips or know anything that could help?
I also want to mention I had sent my phone to htc America to replace the screen, gps and the worn out "button presses" on the inside of the phone. and they did, they replaced each and every single thing including the inner plastic body lining where the volume button "presses" are and the plastic surrounding the sim card all replaced, I can only guess that if maybe I did not ask to replace this plastic that hooks itself to the back cover that maybe any grey market back cover would have fit securely?
and also want to mention yes my original back cover that is painted still fits and firmly grips the phone, when I look at all 3 back covers the 2 from china and my painted oem back cover, I can't tell a difference at all in their inner workings SIGH

Some guy took his DNA apart to see if there was a micro SD slot hiding in there...so yes I would think it is possible

it's 100% possible, but I can tell you from experience, it's a total PITA. both removing and replacing it. and if you want to get a black one, i know someone who wants a red
My cover popped off when I took needle nose pliers to a broken usb cover. Now it creeks really bad. I wouldn't suggest prying it off.

Wcx ? Its in my DNA
Has anybody ever successfully replaced the back cover & buttons on the Verizon version with the international versions? Is this even possible? From what I've been looking at, what you would have to do is replace the rear housing & the door and that should be it.
Would this interfere with wireless charging?
Does the ports line up?
Will the rear door even fit back on?
The reason I want to do this is so that i will be able to use regular cases for this phone instead of using the limited selection of cases for Verizon
EDIT: Nevermind, it's not possible. I can tell just by looking at the inside of the battery cover of each phone. Different contacts.
Due to wireless charging. Also the reason buttons are different.
Hi there, i just took an Z2, my worst purchase ever. Not by the phone, far from it, but for the phone condition.
Making things short: i bought an used z2 with "only" the back cover broken, but already found lots of problems, and im solving then one at a time.
Well, the problem now:
I replaced the back cover, cleaned all the shatered glass, removed the remaining glue, its super clean, but im having an flash leaking.
The camera is fine, i tested it in any way possible, the problem, is that when i turn on flash, it burns the picture. if i remove the new back cover, it gets fine with flash, so the problem, is a flash leaking under the cover for what i got.
Now i need to seal it, but im in doubt the best way to do this: should i try to seal the camera , making maybe an hole on a piece of tape, and puting over the camera (under the back of course) or try to seal the flash itself, puting some piece of tape between the camera and the flash.
If anyone have passed for something similar, i would be very thankfull for any sugestion.
Of course its out of warranty, and i had spend almost the phone price fixing it, now i want to keep it lol!
here is a pic of the "burn". this picture without flash is absolutely ok. its ok too with flash, without the back cover:

Oh and depending the way i push the screen, near the flash, the leaking disapear too
Then you have installed the back cover faulty or the material ais bent. The flash gets reflected from the inner side of the back cover and thrown back to the camera lens. Try to install it proper or try a new one. You could also try to get some non-reflecting tape and glue it around the flashlight.
I bought some chineese replacement back cover for my se g900 and I had a blue light effect, when too much light was getting on this low quality "glass". If you've bought a cheap replacement then this may be an issue.

Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
i bought from a seller that said it was from sony, but you know, how can u trust?
well i found a fix, it was VERY simple, and effective :
I took 2 small stripes of black tape and did this:
take a small piece of tape, the size of the camera, and put between the black plastic, and the camera module
take another small piece, the same size, and put it in between the flex cable and the camera this time. the stripes dont need to be too small, longer is better, as soon it dont cover the camera lenses. the adhesive part of the tape, needs to be in the direction of the flash, and the other, in the direction of the flex cable, so when you sit the back cover, they will stick to the back cover, sealing all the light.
if anyone is interested, i can take some pictures
pictures please
can you put some pictures please.thanks
