Me and a colleague both ordered xda IIs last week from 02. Me on Monday, him on Tuesday. His arrived the next day mine arrived on Friday. Wierd that.
Here's a couple of things that were not right with mine. The keyboard felt very loose. It moved very easily and could be opened with a shake of the phone. My colleagues was much tighter. Not a major problem but I felt it may open on it's own when in a jacket pocket etc
When the keyboard was closed you could easily see daylight when looking into the gap between the keyboard and phone body. The gap was large enough to accommodate 4/5 sheets of paper (thickness). My friend had no daylight and not even a single sheet of paper could be slid in between the keyboard and phone body. Squeezing the keyboard and phone body between finger and thumb would 'flex' the keyboard and cause this gap to close temporarily.
All in all not very impressive build quality. I didn't even charge it up, it went straight back in the box and was returned. I'm expecting another on Wednesday.
Thanks for the info, useful.
Did you purchase via 'Personal' online?
Or via 'Business' - I've just ordered one this way, now that the weblink is working after about 3 works of it not...
£179 + VAT, then get £16.50 +VAT tariff - 100 mins, 8p landline calls, data @ £1.50/mb).
I'll believe it when I see it... and shall look out for lousy keyboard. Odd, didn't think the Taiwanese could produce anything iffy - hopefully not a fundamental design flaw.
Tekguru at tekguru.co.uk even had a broke screen on delivery on his review model.
I got a Qtek 9090 2 weeks ago and I have to say that the space between the keyboard and the rest of the unit as well as the looseness of the keyboard is worrying me a bit. I hope it won't get worse because then it would not be acceptable any more...
Can anyone comment on the evolution of their unit over time with respect to these problems?
Thanks.
Received my replacement XDA IIs today. Keyboard / Gap is much better. Very pleased with it. There is some very slight lateral movement (<0.5mm) between the screen half and the body half ( when viewed head on ) but nothing serious. Better charge it up !
I got my XDAIIs on wednesday and had the same thing, i'll be sending mine back for a replacement as well
3 QTEKs all with different gaps
My 2 colleagues and I received our QTEKs last week, 2 with a slightly loose keyboard and 1 quite tight.
The good news is your not alone in the slider / keyboard gap issue
The bad news is the gap gets BIGGER with use
This may be adjustable , ie: tightening down. Does anyone know where to get a parts blowup of a PDA2K/O2 XDAIIs/QTEQ 9090 ? That may shed some needed light on this evolving problem.

Nice
I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)
You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike
I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Hey Neptune,
I see what you are saying, but thousands upon thousands of very satisfied customers and no damaged devices, along with rigourous controlled tests really do mean you are worrying about this without a valid cause!
Thanks
Bryson
anyone know of any other holder/charger units for the artemis? £40 quid is kinda expensive!
It Sucka

Perjan, thanks for the heads up. For £40 i would be expecting top build quality.
Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris
hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.
Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.
if you cracked the lcd on HTC phones go to these guys they did a good job on my Tmobile dash ( S620)

LCD for XDA EXEC
www.gpsmidlands.co.uk. Prices very good replaced my screen while I waited
www.pocketpctech.com did a great job on my iPaq 4150 also got the RAM upgrade, fantastic!
I can't stress enough how good screen protectors are. HTC should think about putting them in the box with new phones if you ask me.

That is actually a very good idea, should be a standard accessory for any touchscreen PDA/Phone.
LCD Replacement.
The biggest issue with DIY LCD replacement is that some of the panels vary within the same model.. eg Dopod 838Pro panels seem to be different within the one model!
We've been selling the LCD / Touchscreen kits now for a while (with tools)
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/dopod-838pro-imate-jasjam-replacement-touchscreen-p-4715.html
but find they only work on the newer units.
.. Make sure you get an LCD WITH touchscreen if you're going to DIY it.. They're too hard to get the alignment perfect otherwise..
Good luck

I agree with you guys entirely that screen protectors are great, though I don't think that you'd get something much better than a cheapy from the manufacturer, which is not much better than gladwrap (tm). Dopod ones aren't too bad, but still. Most of your "buy 20 Belkin (or similar) ones for $20" aren't much better. If you're looking, buy Martin Fields screen protectors - they are GOLD!! Sure, $40 for 2 is more expensive, but they'll EASILY outlast your PDA!! The MF ones are made from some NASA-developed rubber or something and are awesome. We've been selling them for ages - http://store.pressdigital.com.au/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=martin+fields&osCsid=6f1194088498df6629265ce05a116c08&x=0&y=0 - and, if you're wanting to not have to worry about major upgrades, this is the key. But, as Andy said, if you're going to buy a screen, you'd be some kind of fool not to get one with the touch attached, 'cause it's just way too much stuffing around- if you get it right at all, which few do!
Hope it gets sorted out quickly for you!

This has happened to me with my orbit 3 times now (broke it in my pocket each time). I just bought a new digitiser off eBay and fitted it myself.

Screen protector
Hi guys
When I bought my Tytn, I had a screen protector with it, but please don’t use it, I will not use it to protect a nokia 3310 screen , it’s a verrrrrrrrrrrry bad quality of screen protector.
Eboo
I damaged my brand new HTC Eris digitizer, and got a replacement from RepairsUniverse.com
They do all the HTC replacements here - RepairsUniverse.com/htc-replacement-parts.html
My new Eris touch screen arrived in quick time with instructions and only took me around 15 minutes to repair my phone.
I'm not about the wireless mods or shady paypal deals. I was looking at powermat today and they FINALLY posted about the wireless charging back for the S3. Here is the direct link. It does have a price listed, but it is not searchable to find a retailer selling it yet. Hopefully we are very close!
http://www.duracellpowermat.com/wireless-power-cases/galaxys3.html
Edit: taking a better look at the case, I find myself disappointed. This doesn't appear to be a replacement battery cover, rather one of the old style case covers. Essentially plugging into the USB slot at the bottom and holding the charging essentials outside of the actually phone.
Thats fat!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Cool! Thanks for posting that.
that one is fat, and connects at the usb port, not at the two pins near the battery
Yeah that's why I put it in my post. I'm surprised considering s
Samsung and powermat joined up and powermat has that snack NFC replacement charging option coming.
Took a chance and ordered one of these puppies on the day it was released. Arrived today and it is a piece of crap. Very hard to get the phone in the case and then when I tried to remove it, the case immediately cracked. Stay far away from this one.
Hi there! I am looking for suggestions from the XDA forums for a car mount for the OnePlus One! You guys are pretty knowledgeable so I trust this being left in your hands
Even Universal mounts can be suggested, as there will be other family members using other phones(Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or friends using iPhones).

I have the Koomus as well. It's major flaw is the part that pushes against the top of the CD slot may become loose as you remove the phone.
You can buy clones that attach to your vent or with VHB adhesive for as little as $4 from DX, aliexpress, etc.
http://www.brodit.com/productList.html?brand=OnePlus&model=One&pn=prod
you will need a car-specific hilder as well. its a little pricey but totally worth it (for me).
i have one of those for my Nexus 7 Tablet since some years, just works all fine
also used a specific holder for the Galaxy Nexus when I still owned the device.
cheers!
if you have a case, or if you are OK with removing your back cover and throwing a metal plate back there (this is what I did), this one works great!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUIL310?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
you just have to tape down the metal plate. I placed mine back there and about a day later I started losing signal...the plate had fallen towards the bottom of the phone and must have been blocking some antennas or something. moved it up, taped it in place, and its been solid and working great since. I use this every day to and from work and anywhere else I go without it ever budging. its so nice not having to clip the phone in.
Search Xiaopimei on Amazon ! Amazing and very cheap !
Xiaopimei is great, I agree
I've been using the Brodit/Proclip (same thing) for about a year now, great stuff. I can highly recommend it
I've ordered
http://www.banggood.com/REMAX-RM-03-Mobile-Navigator-Car-Outlet-Bracket-p-982977.html
I heard its great, and its pretty cheap, and universal size phone can hook to it.
Here is video description

Brodit for OnePlus One
Remember to buy a Proclip for your specific car to mount on
My experience, over the last 7 years. I swear to always buy Herbert Richter (HR) mounts. (ebay or online German/UK stores)
Extremely durable plastic (don't want your phone to fall). Universal, also use the same mount on my bicycle, in other cars. Mine has now been in use for 5 years now (have 2). I use the universal one and I use the vent holder in the car. Doesn't block the view and in summer gets cooled down because the airco blows cold air on it. Also doesn't damage the phone and really holds it well.
Also very good experience with their customer support.
