Hi Everyone
I was on a flight yesterday and had my TP2 in my pocket. I think the pressure from the arm rest and my leg may have been a bit too much, because when we landed and I took my phone out of my pocket there was a huge crack in the glass from top to bottom (the LCD is fine). Needless to say I am devasted, and annoyed that it cracked so damn easily. I have made a couple of calls and the price to get it replaced has been astronomical... Has anyone seen a service manual for the TP2 yet, and would it be wise replacing it myself- I have seen some of the screens going on ebay for around $35.
Thanks
Hi,
Welcome to my club unfortunately Please first have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534883
The service or dismantling manual of this phone has not arrived yet; please follow this site for HTC technical manuals: http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html
I also bought myself a new screen and tried to change the broken LCD, but although I have removed two screws at the bottom; it was nearly impossible to remove the front face because of the hard middle part. So I was afraid to break it and did not force it much.
Therefore I am now sending it to the customer service; and will wait for official repair.
Regards,

Now just wait for the Rhodium manual.
Thanks. I am getting it fixed here locally by a repairer that a few people have recommended. Here are some photos of where it has cracked FYI.

Just to update - site has been back up for a while now. HTC wanted the G2 manual removed, hence the period of downtime while I clarified what they wanted.
I have not located the Rhodium Service Manual - if anyone locates it, let me know.
Thanks

On your pictures, I clearly see you have stolen my Rhodium!!!! Same crack, exactly!!!
So, what piece do you replace? Touch panel or LCD screen?
I hope you have an answer for me... Please.....

Hey guys. I have gotten alot from this website so I would like to give back. I own and operate a mobile phone repair shop and would like to extend my services to this forum. Most of you seem pretty techical so even if you just want the part (microphone, ear speaker, Loud speaker, LCD) I will provide it for you at a low cost plus shipping of course. I mostly deal with hardware issues so please don't PM me or post asking about software, I am a total noob when it comes to that!
Thanks again to all the rom builders and contributers who have helped make my phone awsome!
If you can source the vibrate motor for an HTC S710 I would be forever grateful. Where abouts are you located?
EDIT: I see you're in Phoenix.
Most of the parts I carry are for US released HTC phones but often they carry simular parts. If you can post a picture of what it looks like I'll see if I have a match.
I will upload a picture in a little bit, however here are the specifications from the HTC Vox Service Manual for the motor;
JT0406-30CSR1, JNTECH, Cylindrical, 3V, 100mA, 12000+/-3000 rpm, 60/-, 20degC, 11.2*5.1*5.8mm
The cylinder has J7D05 printed on it and has 2 prongs that make contact to the pad on the PCB. I've tried many different other motors but none of them physically fit in the spot. So if you have any motor rated to those specs and is smaller or equal to the dimensions above, I will take it.
Here are two pictures of it. They are quite large, so not inlined. Not my camera, one of those funky digital ones that I have no idea how to adjust the focus on.

I'll check my inventory tomorrow. The shop is closed for today, it being the 4th of July and all.
Ah yes. Thanks, I shall await your response in great excitement.
Happy Indie Day!
A friend of mine has an O2 XDA Orbit but the usb works for charging but not for the data link.
Is this fixable? and if so, do you perform the fixes !!!!
@pna
I had the same problem with my Dash/Excalibur. I had to turn off the USB charging feature in the settings and then the data worked fine. I just either turn it back on if I need to charge via USB on my PC and don't have a wall charger handy. Tell your friend to try that.
Edit:
Also Turn off Advanced Network Functionality to along with charging over USB.

If the pins in the socket look straight re-flow the solder on the mainboard or get someone to do it. It's fairly easy. New sockets are about $4 on fleabay but as there are multiple lines close together you do need skill to replace.
M.S
@h4waii
Sorry friend. I don't have one that looks like that by HTC. However the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 vibrator does look like it. If I had it here to test I would be able to look closer. Once again, sorry friend.

Right on! I have been wanting to replace the metal bezel that goes around the front of the AT&T 8525 (U.S. HTC Hemes). Mine has gotten quite scratched and scuffed over the last year, and I would love to have it returned to it's original clean, shiny look.
Do you happen to carry this part by any chance? Or know of an affordable place to obtain one?
I get mine from a guy on ebay. I used my last 3 over the holiday weekend so I am out till I order some more on Monday. They are about $28 shipped. Link below....

If you need the full housing email Amit / Raki Computers and ask - they have them as well at not much more $ ( about $26 IIRC) if you ask although the parts they sell are used / stripped from BER phones so some have minor marks and it's pot luck.
M.S
edit - I emailed Amit @ Raki myself anyway and he's listed the full housings here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220254094906
better value IMO.
Yes. We've got software support and now hardware support. This thread needs to be stickied.
Does anybody know where i can buy a replacement LCD? I dropped my phone and its all half black!
you can get them through PocketPCTechs.com, I think they are about 160, but it's only 15 more to get them to install it. that's what I ended up doing, and they did a good job.
onsitecellularrepair.com does it cheaper 125 plus shipping charges (includes screen and labor)
Had same problem, but found a much cheaper solution than the ones you mention. After some searching I found http://www.RepairsUniverse.com
The screen was about $40 and they provided fitting instructions which I don't know what I would of done without. It arrived fast, and within 15 minutes I had the phone back up and running again. Been good since.
If I'm not mistaken you can also find some decently priced on eBay... Just do your homework and you should be alright...
You can find a nice one on ebay right here with the tools needed. http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Display-for...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
And then you can follow this video on how to install your screen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI6bZ3L-hE0

Looks like the body has been overly stressed. You'll see the same thing in perspex and glass when it's bent but not broken. I'd say someone was a bit too active with the phone in a tight pocket.

Likewise no effect on my white one, just like xmoo I was in direct sunlight for 10 days as well in Turkey on my holiday and no peeling effect like that.

many body have this issue by normal use.
I think you already have your questions answered isn't?
To much sunlight
It's stressed/bend to much
Another thing I can think off is that the phone is dropped.
How do you know many body have this issue, where do you base that on?

I have no issues with the body, maybe a good advise is to talk to HTC and claim your warrantee.

I am in Uk, my One X has developed a crack across the screen, still works, but it looks ugly, anyone know a contact number of someone who can fix this for me!?
its horizontal and you can't even feel it!

Ouch, that sucks man! Honestly, it's probably not worth the cost of repair if that's as bad as it is. My Infuse is my daily phone and it's screen is shattered far worse than that. One crack, even going across the screen isn't too bad when replacement could be very pricey, and you may just crack it again.
I saw another thread on this and it sounds like the LCD is glued to the glass, which makes it very difficult to separate without breaking the LCD as well. Your best bet may be to send it in for replacement. Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of info on fixing the screens on these yet.
This is exactly why I just signed up with insurance today on mine. I always end up with cracked screens some how, and I'm usually very careful. Even with the insurance though, there's a $75 deductible, and I don't know if it'd be worth it still for just one crack.
UK repair is £145.
no other places in the UK other than HTC did it a couple of weeks back because they couldn't source the parts. told them i coule provide them with it but they weren't willing to do it
mine cracked after two weeks, worked perfectly, but there were hundred of cracks across the screen. no way was i willing to live with it for 2 years
Thanks for the reply, the irony was I was holding it in the case not realising it was upside down then BOOM dropped onto Brick paved driveway
Fully expect to have to pay for screen replacement surely HTC must offer some service / support?

the phone is assembled in such a way that the entire assembly occurs on the screen, so you have to strip the phone back to literally every single component

7 working days from receipt. i got mine back after two weeks, including a bank holiday. it was also just after the phone came out so maybe there was a delay getting the parts then?
they send out fedex to collect the phone, could even come the day after you call

Hi All,
Have been having issues with my sisters HOX, the bottom 10% of the screen won't respond and Im stuck as to what it could be apart from a hardware fault.
Hboot 1.39
Rooted
Have tried hard reset, restored nans, Flashed different kernels inc Alex V, Re-calibrated touch screen, heating it up. Nothing seems to be working. Just wanted to make sure it's hardware before I pull it apart!
Thanks in advance!

Yea separating them isn't easy nor getting them back together perfectly either, did it on my old sensation and it's still going strong though so may give it a go as a lot cheaper for the digitlizer only.
As it's my sisters phone it's up to her where I order it from depending on how much she want's to pay , cheap and cheerful then new LCD complete kit on ali express is $35. For a genuine HTC replacement it's around $90.
