The down direction on my four way "thumb pad" on my PDA2k has stopped working. Is this repairable by a mechnically capable/inclined individual? If not is there anywhere else to get a repair other than i-mate? I am just past on year so I must be out of the warranty period.
This has happened on my XDA2s too. Had it about 5 months. It works like 30% of the time. Lord this device is poor.
yep my IIs has the same problem too. the down key is malfunctioning, I have to press extra hard to get it to work, problem is my warranty is in the Philippines and Im Now in OZ..
You might try contacting Pocket PC Techs; they're just up the road from you in Fountain Valley.
fake your purchase date and contact imate, they fixed mine, and iw as just over a year too. I had the exact same problem as you.

hey all, my XDA II O2 is dead, i have a bit of a story to tell about it too. the poor thing won't boot up past the O2 spash screen.
i was initially selling my O2 around the traps as a working unit, then someone asked me to show them landscape view, and i didn't know how. i soon found out i needed to upgrade to 2003se or 2005. so on my homage to flashing my O2's ROM. i went and tried a 2005 and some random version radio stack hoping to upgrade two things at once, then, only one worked. my OS flash was fine, but my radio ROM didn't work at all. so basically i could get into WM2003, 2003SE, 2005 fine but couldnt use my simcard.
i've tried countless times to manually fix it aswell as using the official O2 ROM update off their site. then i went and sent it to O2 customer service or whatever it's called this year . they charged me $45AUD for general service fee which included flashing the radio and OS roms up to the latest. then they ring me up one morning saying my poor O2 needs a new motherboard (somewhere between $350 - 450 i think). i asked why, they said because it wouldn't power on at all. so i tried turning it on, it didnt work all of a sudden, so to speak.
i still had to pay the $45aud and ended up without a working O2, at all.
i felt furious but helpless and tried not to have to pay the fee, but had to.
long story short, heh, i need to do something with my shell of a XDA II, either sell, sell parts, fix, find a special ROM flash that might fix it. i don't know, i've tried so hard and have gotten nowhere. so, guys, any insight in what i could/should do?? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks! :shock:
OH OH OH also, on that note, i can't go into bootloader mode or any other mode at all, so i cant re-flash
Threaten to sue. It worked partially when you sent it to them as it would power up - they've made it worse.

i will ring them up/ get their details on who to ...ring next, i guess.
thanks!

I just bought my TYTN and seems like my touch screen has a problem..
I don't know why...
what the actual problem is...
My touch screen doesn't work at all when keyboard is shut (not out)
but When Keyboard is dragged out from the Tytn, touch screen works 100%fine with no problem..
Is this normal ? or what is wrong..and how to fix this problem?????
*****I have flashed with new wm6 to see if it will change anything but didn't work...
please let me know how to fix this or what is the problem..
PLease help me!!!!!!!!!!!! professionals !!
Well, I'm no professional but it sounds to me very much like a hardware fault mate.
If the screen works when the keyboard's slid out but otherwise doesn't AND you've found this after changing the ROM, I'd be very surprised if it's not a dodgy connector somewhere inside, which means you'll need a warranty replacement or to send it back for repair.
What's stopping you sending it back for repair under warranty then?

he flashed it!! XD

He just needs to flash it back to an official wm6, I've done this in the past with my 9100.

Me too. I keep a HERMIG.nbh permanently on the Sim cards of Herm,es (2 of) just in case.
Thanks for your replies !!
but .. um...
I have reflashed with my WM6 office at&t rom but still the same...
i really don't understand why..
sorry I don't have warranty anymore so... geez
my touch screen works sometimes and sometimes doesn't work now..
It is the hardware problem, contact HTC Europe if you live in Europe and see whether they can fix it. Go to: http://www.europe.htc.com
Check with them and see if it is within warranty. I had my HTC Universal serviced a few weeks ago and they changed nearly everything in it for me. (I admit I have a good friend who works there and I sent it to him so it was free...)
Hi folks.
I just got my TP2 (bought it at ebay want ads Germany).
I got for 95€ and that's ok (the shell has some bad looking spots and stuff - I don't mind). But what really annoys me is that the QWERTZ keyboard has that T key problem. When pressed it types a t sometimes, sometimes not, sometimes double. I have to press it hard sometimes so it responds.
I have no bill for the device and so I got no warranty. The former owner did not mention the damaged key and with eBay want ads things are different as with the real eBay.
So any help for me? Could I repair or fix it by myself? It´s not a software problem - I know that much. Hard reset did not fix anything.
You are not alone, I got one with a "r" key problem just like yours. I don't use the keyboard much so it doesn't bother me. I did notice that if you press a certain edge of the key, it works.
Check for water damage?

Solved. Sold the device (as broken). Ordered another one. eBay.
Damn, those smartphones and cells will be my financial ruin one day.

..... ouch....(any way to flag the seller on ebay so to warn others if this person is selling more items online? He should have disclosed that defect)
I've had mine for around 6 months, and the buttons on the bottom front dem to ne losing sensitivity now all of a sudden? It's in good condition, never dropped or anything. Anyone have the same problem? Sometimes takes 2 press to get the button to work or you need to pea down hard.
Same issue here, but my phone is 14 months old - it was one of the first Desires.
Now for the bad news, HTC have a backlog of repairs. My phone was collected by UPS on 9th May and delivered to the HTC service centre the following day. The tracking tool on the HTC site says that it is still en route to the service centre although HTC have confirmed that it has been received and they are unable to advise when it will be fixed.
I would suggest that you live with it for the time being, until HTC sort themselves out!
Same me..I have my desire from April 2010..And sometimes I have to press 2 or 3 times the menu button (just it) to make it work..Bit annoying..
I cant remember if it was here or Android forums where this was discussed before but the overriding answer was that you need to stop sticking the phone in you jeans pockets.As that seemed to be causing constant pressure to the buttons and in some cases causing them to flake.
ah ok, thanks for the advice. i wonder if a phone repair shop would be able to fix it?

Go to your shop of your trust and ask.
Hi ,
My SGH-i927 was working quite happily sat on charge connected to a USB cable on my PC, I left work with the phone in my pocket and when I came to use it a couple of hours later it was completely unresponsive.
It will not respond to power button at all
It shows no activity when on charge either via wall wart or USB, it does not show up as connected to the PC when USB cable plugged in.
I've tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes and also a different battery with long and short presses of the Power Button whiles't holding volume with various combinations there of.
This is not as a result of my flashing anything it just stopped, the threads I've seen using search all seem to be able to get to a boot screen of some description mine is completely dead.
Phone was Unlocked / rooted / backed up + efs backup / running 4.0.4 UCLJ3 Lite Kernel
Anyone have a suggestion on how I might be able to resurrect it or should I put it in a long ship and set fire to it ?
Please note I imported this Phone into the UK
I approached a local SAMSUNG service center and they won't touch it as it's from outside the EU. - Further more on discussing the nature of the problem I was informed it's probably a hardware fault due to IC or Fuse or combination of them. As these are surface mounted components they wouldn't be repairable by normal means and they wouldn't even give me a number for an independent phone repair.
Can anyone know of and can give me the contact details of a repair person based in the UK who'd be willing to look at it ?

Thankyou,
I appreciate the time taken to respond and especially the offer, however although not completely inept with a soldering iron changing the motherboard may well be beyond my expertise, but I'd be willing to give it a go if all else fails.
I have managed to locate another repair center reportedly having Samsung Qualified technicians. Initial communications seemed to suggest they could deal with the assessment which they provide for free. I have sent the handset to them and am now awaiting their report.
If things do not work out with the repair center, I would like to contact you to discuss your offer further.
Regards
Response from repair center - beyond economical repair - but no further detail.
I think I'll call it quits now and just invest in a new handset.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2KF0YV4051 $145 brand new.
I might be willing to part with my own for a reasonable price too, but it wouldn't be less than $100. Has an extended battery. Probably better to get a brand new one.
