Screen problems

I wonder if anyone can help. I did search the site but couldn't find anyone with similar problems.
The problem is the screen colours are 'messed up' and it rarely displays the screen correctly. I know its a problem like a lose or damaged connection inside the phone but I want to know if it will get fixed out of warranty? If so where do I start?
If the warranty is useless then I will crack the phone open and have a look myself, but I didn't want to open it if HTC will fix it.
Its an O2 XDA IIs by the way with the latest O2 software.
Here is a pic:

It doesn't look too bad in that pic, but it gets worse and sometimes fades to white.
Thanks

F355,
Akthough I'm no specialist, it remonds me a problem I had with a graphic card a while ago. It could well be that the graphic chip on the main board is giving way.
If such is the case and the device is still under warranty, u know what to do!

Thats the problem I think its out of warranty. I remember I had a Nokia 8210 about 4 years ago and they fixed that even out of warranty, just wondering if HTC are as good customer service wise. Its probably wear and tear but surely it should be designed to last. My XDA I is much better quality, shame its so big, slow and has no features.

Well I contacted O2 data support and they said that O2 XDAs come with 2 years warranty (the phone is 1yr 1m old) so they are sending a pre-paid envelope and hopefully fixing it.
The only problem is because its 'screen damage' they might not fix it even in warranty and I will have to pay £17 handling fee. :roll:

$100 if someone can put WM6 on this phone

I am looking for a total guru to help me put WM6 on this phone, it is not made by HTC. I would pay even more if the WM6 had my own splash images on it. This is not a hobby thing and I have real money to pay for someone who can help me out, it would not be a one time thing either I would have other things to do down the road. [email protected] if your interested or reply here. You can be anywhere, Russia to China. I am in USA.

Model?????

$300 n ill put that on there for ya

Your device description is incredibly vague. Are we supposed to guess what it is and hope it works?
--James

Oh man, isn't this a device made in China? I saw similar devices here in China. But surprisingly the price of the device is little more than 100$. Besides the specs are somewhat far from promising. I prefer to spend another 100$ to buy one of these devices for which WM6 is available in one way or the other: xda stealth, Imate pdal, imate jaq3. Just a suggestion and not meant to disappoint you.

word, you may want to just upgrade

That phone is not running a Window OS in the first place.

It does come with WM5 for PPC. I saw totally similar devices only with different brandings. Also they are cheaper than other known WM devices. Have no idea if those devices are licensed by M$ or just a product of reverse-engineering.

that is a chinese phone
and no windows ce 4 it at all
they fake mobiles as if they are windows based and they write windows mobile on their covers
but for truth they r not
there won t be a wm6 for it at all

more screenshots here: http://www.m8cool.com/mobile/1/632/4113.html
the price is 1420 RMB, so it is less than 200$. i think it really is a WM device.
and a different one with price about 120$: http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/...88c75d2e6f9cf9f8e.jhtml?from_item_detail=true
such devices have popped up suddenly in the market in bulk and i wonder whether it is due to the popularity of WM or to the ability of the reverse engineers.

Flexible.... well i know its hard to get one of this parts cause are very weak... i has one... how many does you thing it costs?

hey Que...nice pimping with your BA..love it man!
basically if the flex that connects the lcd to the board is damaged it is more advisable to replace the whole lcd itself but of course it's kinda expensive. I got the same problem way way back but sadly did not find any replacement here(phil) for the flex so I was forced to buy a new lcd....

HI
thx for the replies, thx i think i'll never forget it the FLEX, i don't know how much it cost, even i can't but one from europe or USA, cuz i'm living in algeria, so there's no way, i was just thinking that maybe there's some cellphones that got the same flex so i'll just use. if you have any idea, please inform me.
Thx

Mmmmmm?
I think there are two different flex types i mean version!
My bro has a BA but he bricks it when he tried to change the Audio plug in... I know he is a fool
BTW if you want... I can send you the flex just pay the shipping cost... let me check that flex maybe is hard solded to the display...
I toldyou that history cause i tried to connect that display to my BA and it wont works... i think there are differnete revision versions of the display or mother board... ou can check the Part Number behind the flex... may is the same i got... what do you think?

How to identify an "original Samsung Battery" on eBay?

The question is quite simple. Many people claim their batteries are original when they aren't. The fact that they cost 9 USD when, in Brazil, they cost over 100 BRL also make me wonder (mainly because USD BRL conversion is 1 - 1.8)

it's hard to tell if you shop online.
But if you can actually get your hands on it, there are couple things you can do.
The easiest way to identify is rip open the sticker on the battery. ( it's wrapped around the battery, so even if you rip it open, you still can wrap it back )
There should be carving like in the picture below.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But there are a new type of identical copy right now, that has the same carving as the picture above.... if you run into those.... see if the batter wrapper ( the one u rip open ) build quality is good and good luck....
One more thing, the the original battery weights 49g, and most the fake ones weight around 45g.
If you are buying on ebay, there is really nothing you can do until you get the actual item. And to be honest, if the seller do selling original battery on ebay for a cheap discount price, he is probably loosing some money there. I would find a more reliable source if I want to buy stock stuff.

That was a very useful response, thank you. Would you happen to know any worldwide deliveres worthy of trust? And what would be a reasonable price for the original battery?

not that I know of :x i usually either just suck it up and buy a cheap one that I obviously know it's some pirated stuff, or just dish out the cash and order from samsung. At least I can sleep better that way knowing what I am getting exactly...

The problem is Sammy still does't sell anything for the Note in Brazil.

all the battery is fake in china

Don't buy from cellphone_parts on eBay

Doesn't list the item as OEM... but claims it was via message.
Not OEM. Poor fitment. Cracked already and had imperfections.
Doesn't line up with the flash, pushes up against the speaker and camera. No bueno.
This is the follow up from a previous post that was floating around.

Cool story bro, I have been buying parts from ebay for almost 10 years & never had an issue.
Anyone that says one thing PM and another on the add is suspect and should not have been given business. Period.
Maybe the shopper should do more research 1st next time.

There is a company in China that goes by the name "OEM".
So the eBay sellers often use that MFG to sell products, pretending to be true "OEM" products.
Very confusing and eBay should put a halt to this practice.
Really needs to be a craigslist type of system where users can "flag" this or other types of auctions.

I hit my 10 year anniversary couple months back and it was never an issue for myself until recently. Way too many things from China. I've learned to just not buy anything from China anymore. The thing is... the Chinese manufacturers will have a warehouse in the US and ship it all from there. Then they claim to be state side. Bummer.
