anyone notice a yellow hue on the xda #iis when at an angle???
They are all like that
can't say i've noticed it on mine... I did have that problem on my Ipaq 4150 though.
Just received 11 x IIs and haven't noticed a problem with any so far (seems to be a better screen than the iPaq 4150)
The screen is garbage!!! I hate my O2 XDAIIs. The XDAII was such a better unit. Windows Mobile SE is very limited to software that you can use as well. Wifi works good, but thats about it. I had issues with mine turning on by itself! :shock: lol The SD cards half the time wouldn't read so you would have to do a softboot. Is the unit even capable of using a mmc card? I couldn't get my 1gb mmc card to work, but my 512 sd did work after numerous softboots.
Every program I have works fine on my PDA2K (same machine). Almost all of them had the pop-up saying it wasn't designed for this version etc. etc., but install anyway and they work fine.
My screen isn't garbage, not sure what you are complaining about.
I can't remember anywhere that it says the SD slot can read MMC, XDA IIs/PDA2K advertising. I know this is possible on some SD slots, but they actually mention it from what I remember reading.
Are you using a generic SD version or a major brand? I haven't had any issues with all the SD cards we've deployed (except one failed and had to be replaced by Sandisk). We have a mix of generic brands, Sandisk normal and Sandisk ULTRA (way faster than anything else).
i can use sd & mmc cards on my mda 3 no problem
Unluckily mine's screen turns also into hard yellow when looking at it in not 90 degrees Anyone has any ideas against this? Like some contrast tool? Maybe I'll make some picturesa of the screen from different angles and post them here, so you can compare them to yours...
the new blue angel device's screen is garbage.. just like the new Himalaya screens.. yellow hue.. not readable in any angle other than 90.. and a big contrast problem...
my i-mate has the best screen i've seen ever in a pocket pc.. it was bought more than a year ago and ive never seen any screen like mine..
HTC has changed their screen suppliers.. i have known before that the Himalaya screens are made by sony... this was the case when the xda II was first introduced to the world... but after that they changed the screen in order to make more funds...
the same story:
a small company will give you more features than a big company for the same money...
the small company gets bigger..
now the small company is a big company..
and we have to find another small company to get great devices
one word..
I'm using my old i-mate and ive sold my pda2k
Solution:
I'll buy a damaged XDA II for cheap, take the screen out and put it in my PDA2k, what do you think? )
screen is absolute junk
Got my QTEK 9090 yesterday. Great little device. I like everything about it but 1 thing: the screen. It is absolute garbage :evil: !!! Speaking of yellow hue, this screen is junk. Amazing that they sell this at all. My 2,5 yrs old XDA I has a much better screen. Luckily this QTEK is a loaner (the Dutch importer couldn't deliver yet but promised he could, so we all got demo units for the time being).
I think we will cancel the order and look for something else. The only question is: for what :?: What other device is comparable to the QTEK 9090 but has a decent screen :?:

this seems the only solution.. I'm ready to buy another Blue Angel and do this but where??
where can i send my two devices to change the screen...
another thing.. i don't think it's that easy to replace the screens... because i once sent an i-mate to ppctechs and they told me that they can replace SOME screens while they cant replace SOME.. so if HTC have more than one screen connectors for one model what do you think for two?? :lol:
Xda IIi screen quality question
Who knows if the new Xda IIi (also known as HTC "Alpine") has the same yellow hue quality issue as the HTC "Blue Angel" ? If not we'll abandon the QTEK 9090 and go for the Alpine.
Another reason apart from the outrageous screen quality is the slider keyboard. My colleagues are quite big guys with big hands and fingers. It's quite impossible for them to press just 1 key at a time with their fat fingers, so for them the slider keyboard is quite unusable. And since it adds up to the size of the device, why not leave it out we're thinking.
Weird, I got my xdaIIs a few days ago and can see No discolouring at all, the screen is readable upto a near 45 degree angle, AND i am using a screen protector!, mabye it was just a bad batch, my screen is amazingly sharp
I had an old ipaq previously, that was slightly yellowy but not too bad, this is better
There is always compromises manufacturers have to make with a tft......
Yes, there is a yellow hue wich I don't have on my MDA II, but if I hold my Qtek 9090 outside in the daylight it is much better to read than my MDA II.
I think calling the Qtek 9090 screen carbage is extremely exaggerated.
I also get the yellow-screen problem on my 9090.
However, the quality of the screen in general *seems* to be better than on all the 2020's in the office.

these "all 2020's" you talk about are from the "new screen devices" search for someone with an "old" 2020 and see how better his/her device is..

I've heard a lot about this daylight reading thing...
but that's nothing..
I didnt buy the pda2k to read it in the sunlight.. it's a pda which is in 99% you dont have to use at daylight...
still im searching for someone who is able to replace my old xdaII screen with blue angel device..

Yeah, for all those *****in' about their screens, you need to take your unit back and swap it for the latest batch (unless the store is still trying to get rid of units from the original batch). The latest batch seems fine. Loads of people are now reporting great screens, fantastic voice quality (mine is the best of any cellphone I've ever used), solid keyboards and good wi-fi. Though the bluetooth is still garbage and will be until the ROM updates are released.
I'm about to purchase an i-mate PDA2k (couldn't get my older i-mate to work with the Sandisk 256MB + Wi-Fi SD Card). Still mixed feelings between the PDA2k and the whatever i-mate calls the XDAIIi (haven't seen it yet from i-mate). I have the option of purchasing the PDA2k from several places. How can one tell if it is from the latest batch? Serial Number? ROM version? Screen color identical to older i-mate?

hi i hope i am posting this in the rigth place i got a orange spv m500 that need a new case as my one was dropped. The phone still working fine just need a case . I have been looking on ebay thay not got many case for my svp m500. And i see case for O2 XDA II Mini/Qtek s100/i-Mate JAM so i am just seeing if O2 XDA II Mini/Qtek s100/i-Mate JAM case housing would fit my spv m500 and if so how thanks :shock: :?:
:?: sorry if this has been posted before :?:
It will work if you get the imate JAM casing but the IMEI plate will not quite fit correctly in the battery holder as the jam casings has extra locating tabs - I've only ever converted them the other way ( from jam to m500 ) and that requires some tin snips to make the imei plate fit. I have the m500 casings here:

Hello!
Where can I buy O2 XDA ORBIT side buttons? I have original HTC P3300 ppc and O2 Orbit housing (buyed on ebay). I am trying to install orbit housing on p3300 ppc. That's ok, BUT, orbit housing doesn't has side buttons. I tried to ask housing seller about it, he answered that he couldn't help. Maybe anyone know where can I buy it? Or, what can I do?
Thanks, Yura.
I am looking for the same. My volume button came off and was wondering whether there was a place I could buy it.
Try buying it on e-bay
