Guest Saracen Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Just pulled my Vario II out of the supplied case, and noticed the rubber bung that covers the external aerial connector is gone. No idea where it may have fallen out. Is there any way of getting a replacement? Or is anyone not using their's and willing to send it over at a small cost?

It's a quite chunky bung compared to others so one from a different device may not stay in. Until I start getting Hermes cases in stock I would think you're stuck unless someone else is kind enough to donate theirs? As there is no car kit I know of I can't see why someone else wouldn't want theirs though to stop dirt etc entering the device... Richard

Might be worth dropping HTC a line - I've not dealth with them before but they might help: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_email.html As an interim measure I'd undo the battery cover and slip a small square of black plastic or card between the case and the cover.

Guest Saracen Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Of course the other annoying thing is that it now doesn;'t sit still when typing on a flat surface. So no hope anyone? I can see it being alright if I stuck it in a case, but I'm not sure whether the Proporta/ADVERTISING SPAM one is that great.

Hardware shops sell self-adhesive black rubber squares to put on the base of things. You might be able to adapt one of these, maybe cut one out with a hole punch? Richard

Anyone managed to find a place that can replace the part yet. I might just give T-Mob a call to see what they can do, after all, we now have 2 Vario II's. Tim

Guest Dr Who Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Happened to one of mine now, too! Any joy yet Fluffcat?
Guest NickFritz Posted December 5, 2006 Report Posted December 5, 2006 Yes mine keeps wanting to pop out. Darn thing.
Guest richard_d Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 Well I've finally lost mine, and can't find replacements anywhere. As an interim measure I tried cutting one out of one of those self adhesive sticky feet using a hole-punch and it is a perfect fit diameter wise, but is pretty much flush with the back panel rather than a little proud - I suppose I could try sticking two together... bung.bmp It does the job protection wise and aesthetically looks like it was made to fit, but if anyone knows a source of the proper things...
Guest mikeeey Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 what exactly is that thing that the rubber bung covers? what does it do?
Guest Kallisti Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 what exactly is that thing that the rubber bung covers? what does it do? They're just there to cover over the car aerial port that comes on most phones. I've never used the port, and usually loose the adapter at some point. In my vario's case, it was last week in Tescos, went under a display and I had the kids with me so I abandoned it to it's fate. It's probably still there :)
Guest stevem999 Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I'd never even realised it was covering something. I thought it was there to give some clearance for the camera lens when it's on a surface - the lens is completely flush with the back cover so could easily get scratched if moving it around on a table etc. The couple of millimetres extra height lifts it off a bit.

Guest John C Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Lost mine too - a bit petty but a real annoyance while typing! HTC are missing a trick not selling replacements, after all they pop out all the time :)
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 If they did, everyone would just think they are deliberately loose tho :) P
Guest mikeeey Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 If they did, everyone would just think they are deliberately loose tho :) P does the one from the sda work? that one would be my backup? and why does this being gone make typing an annoyance? and what does the thing under the rubber bung do? the car aerial port?
Guest pisquee Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 The car aerial port, is for when you are using your phone with a caqr kit. You have an external aerial fitted onto your car, and this port allows the phone to use it - gives better reception.

Guest awarner (MVP) Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I've never lost one on any phone so far ;)
