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 guys do anyone of you guys know where i can find the o2 black housing with keyboard, i hate silver and my universal is the tmobile germany. silver sucks soo bad. please help. i found some on ebay but he doesnt have the black keyboard or battery cover. thanks in advance
Yeah interesting. I own O2 Exec too.

Would you please post the photo or send me the picture of the housing you have.
Thanks in advance.

these guys are selling it, but i can't see a keypad.
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/HousingO2XDAExec.php
Drop them an email, maybe they can supply the keypad seperate.
well these all look like alll they have is the two halves of the universal, not the swivel part or keyboard for sale
im looking for the complete replacements
Hey guys why would you not swap an O2 XDA Exec for a T-Mobile Germany? There may be people who are more inclined for a silver model vs. black one...
This way you both will be happy.
For example, I'd swap mine if it were not quite a bit used and I don't want a German keyboard, I need British one.

Its just that I like a change now and then. And I prefer Black a lot. I like that O2 housing. Its wicked. I just did a mistake by buying this silver Orange SPV. I was too much in a hurry. If anyone would like to exchange their Black O2 Housing, Maybe including keyboard+LED's, I will happily give them my Orange Housing + keyboard + Keyboard LED's.
hello,
there is a cheap offer for XDAIIs touchscreens on ebay.
i have a XDAIII - not a XDAIIs - i have a PB20B1 (board id 5) - not a PH20B.
does somebody know, if this touchscreen would work on my device ?
thank you!
xda 3 and 2s are the same model.
it´s just the provider name.
(the "real" name is HTC BlueAngel)
in germany its called xda 3 and in usa and england it is called 2s.
but thera are 2 different display types for the Blueangel !
watch the wiki
hello,
i readed the wiki: ok IIs and III should both be board ID 5 - and so they should both have the sony display.
but: the seller says for IIs and for PDA2K ! pda2K would be board ID 6 - so it's not the sony display ?
i don't get it ? does he not know, what he's talking about - or are the displays different - but the touchscreen the same ?
do you know ?
thank you very much.
that should help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD
hello,
actually the wiki does not really answer my question.
i only want to buy the touchscreen-digitizer (only the glass and the digitizer-foil) - not the whole LCD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201516276
Since the sellers at ebay can't tell me, if their touchscreen is for the toppology-LCD (i assume, cause i think in USA might me more toppologys than sonys ??) or for sony-LCD i want to make sure to buy the right thing.
so, there are 2 different LCDs - but do they maybe have the same touchscreen-digitizer (glass and foil) ? if so, i can buy it without doubt.
thank you!
are you german ?
(because you have a xda 3 that is only sell in germany)
hello,
i bought the XDAIII used - from a german guy.
Both touch screens are the same, the difference is in the connector to the back of the lcd, one has wide spacings , the other thinner, the one posted in your ebay link is the thinner one. the only way to tell what screen you need is to look inside. Also the thinner screen has two holes either side the tracks, the wider spaced tracked one has one hole in the centre of the tracks.

Gary
hello,
sorry for the late reply:
i already looked inside my ba - a while ago. i also looked at the wiki. so i'm pretty sure i have the sony LCD.
so, does this touchscreen from ebay fit ?
thank you very much.
I've the same question...

I got lcd with 'wide' tape and just bought a replacement digitizer with 'thin' tape.
I think I'll manage to solder them together.
Question is..
Will it work? If I've done it properly, will it work? (i'm kinda smart with soldering iron xd)

There is no white housing for the uni
In response to your question
that white covering was not housing but instead, a protective cover for the imate JJ.

so from where i can get such covering for my jasjar ?? hmmm
White housing for JasJar?
The nearest you will get is the Vodafone V1640 version of the device which is silver-coloured and looks great. You can search on ebay - I recall seeing one such housing listed. I first bought a JasJar but hated the keyboard because I could hardly read the red characters on the dark brown background. (I actually shopped for and got a silver-coloured keyboard from ebay, and got PocketPCTechs in California to replace the JasJar keyboard.)
hey man ! someone earlier mentioned that this si not a housing but a protecting covering ! so tell me man how m gonna buy the stuff over ebay as they sell the whole fone as one n not housing apart i presume as i looked for it i couldn find anything with the keyword ! so pls guide me from where u brought the housing and if its ebay ! do let me know wat keyword u searched in for! ? ? ?

I think it's a silicone cover. Although i would much prefer a crystal case, had one with my Jam and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Thats no cover. Thats a full proper housing. Even the keypad will have different LED colour just to let you know. The housing you can search on ebay or google. I think T-Mobile has white/silverish housing. Look around you may find something.

Hello my friends,
Yesterday I bought for my ARC device White full housing cover.
This is the item: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-White-F...8?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4abe20ce7e#shId
You guys think it could be great? I have now the Blue one..
Just sharing you and I want to know about thoughts.
Im going to replace it to the new...
Its looking original??
Of course it's not, but it doesnt matter, the original is also bad quality plastic and cracks so it doesnt matter
The white housing looks great!
