I just got a new xda orbit from ebay, upgraded to WM6 then I put the phone in my pocket - where it got scratched. Its not a deep scratch, but i just dont like it there. What do I need to replace?
Any Help would be REALLY helpful.
I like my new phone. I ordered the screen protectors a day before it got scratched
Thanks in Advance.

I have one that was meant to go on my xda2 but i then broke the screen so never used it. cost me £100 though and weeks to find but you could have it for £75

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.
This may be the wrong forum because my phone doesn't look like the icon for this board - if so, please could someone direct me towards the correct forum? My phone is an XDA Orbit.
Anyway, it came with a screen protector - which was a nice touch. The only problem is it's pretty poor (still better than nothing, mind). Can anyone suggest where, in the UK, to get a good one? I think I've used a Martin Fields one before and a Writeshield, but I can't remember how I liked either one since I don't remember which was which!
So, where can I get a good screen protector for an XDA Orbit in the UK?
I ordered mine over the net from Brando. It takes a while to arrive but the quality is good. I've got one each for my Charmer and Wizard, they ought to have one for your Orbit. It cost approx £7 (I think) including P&P.
Seach for the forum topic on screen protector and you'll get lovely recommendation from other members. There is another brand of srn pro that is heavily recommended by the members as well, not sure if you can get it in UK.
You can try eBay also if you want it fast. Just make sure you get the brand name right.
So Brando is an okay place for buying stuff in the UK then? Also, I suppose my main worry is that the XDA Orbit is the same screen dimensions the Artemis - I don't really understand, are they the same phone with a different shell? Is the Orbit a P3300?
The orbit is the HTC P3300 and you can also find screen protectors at gpsforless.co.uk

Well, I haven't really bought 1,000 stuff from Brando yet, but from my 2 experience with them, they are good in terms of speed (considering the process of it getting from HK to UK), packaging and quality of their product. I dont have an Orbit, but if you (and epmulligan) can confirmed that an Orbit is a P3300, then this ought to do the job . Dont worry about the picture showing you the Palm PPC. Check the words under the description on the compatible devices when ordering.
ANYWAY, chances are, if you were to buy a screen protector for a 240x320 device made by the same company, chances are, the size should be alright (e.g. chances are, the manufacturer will be using the same screen all over).
BTW, did you search the forum for other advises. There are some other brand which the members here also recommended. See if they have Orbit specific ones and probably UK delivery.
UPDATE: I had a look at the screen protector offered at gpsforless for Orbit, which is a 12 pack for £5.99. I've tried some similar 3 pack set from someone from ebay and the quality is REALLY different. Hence, I would advise you not to get it from there.
Thanks for the advice guys, very helpful.
If you don't mind waiting a few days for delivery from the USA the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal is second to none. I used these on my XDA2i and now on my Orbit.

I got mine from this ebay seller dx_accessories
He sells the multi layer stuff and I can confirm it does work. Two main differences from the O2 supplied protector. 1, the top layer is much harder and much more resistant to scratch. It is also smooth (glossy finish) and the stylus glides over it with ease (not the case with the O2 protector). 2, the so-called 'gel' layer that adheres itself to the screen works brilliantly. It left zero air bubble with very small effort. I spent 15 mins getting dust and air bubble out of the O2, this I spent 1 min getting the screen squeaky clean and it sticks on to it perfectly. The size is also perfect, leaving no more than 0.3 mm to any side.
The only problem I have is the glossy finish, making the screen a bit more difficult to see under strong light. I own a Wizard and had a similar protector for similar price but with a matte finish like a normal LCD monitor.
It comes with a screen wipe which is handy. I won't complain for GBP4 all in.

Looked for him and it apears he has nothing at all on sale at all at the moment.
I remembered where I got my writeshield from - globalpositioningsystems.co.uk so I spoke to them on the phone, found the one for the Orbit and ordered it. I just figured I'd stick with what I know because I was satisfied with it before. The main reason I chose this was because the guy on the phone could guarantee me it would fit the device.
I bought mine at http://search.stores.ebay.es/DuraSe...sooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftsZ2QQsaselZ136025443QQsofpZ0
Very quick and impressive quality.
Regards
It turns out the person I spoke to at globalpositioningsystems.co.uk was wrong. The writeshield they told me to get is too big...
Im selling my Xda Orbit (Artemis 200) as I now have an Orbit 2 (Polaris) and have recently been getting a white screen on the Artemis.
Other than that it is in pretty good order, always had a screen protector on it so screen is like new. A few minor scuffs on the case.
If anyone is interested its here
Do you can ship to Peru, Latinamerica?

Hi,
This morning,I've noticed that my camera glass cover is smashed...still holds in place but is all cracked...have no idea how it happened as I never carry anything with my mobile in same pocket...
Went to carphonewarehouse to ask if it is covered by warranty, and surprise surprise they said NO and that it would be 140 to fix it lol....
Do you guys have any ideas if I could try to fix it by myself,or maybe I should try mailing HTC?? Maybe at the same time they could fix loose bottom cover...
Any advise ?
Thanks,
Lukas

If you are handy, you could probably make one out of perspex or a couple of laminated screen protectors.
Look at the disassembly thread for ideas and inspiration.
Ok,will look for this thread and see

Hi bastic,

Thanx in advance!

Parts For your HTC Desire HD... Just order the Back Housing... and just let an expert or repair tech piece back your phone.... hope this helps also...
Thanks for the links! So there is no way to replace only the glass
without open the whole phone? I bought the desire hd at amazon some weeks ago. Don't know what happens if I would send it back and claim bad quality of product. Perhaps I could get back the money and buy a new one... has someone experience with amazon in such cases?
Thank you for your help!

Amazon are a great company. 99% of their products are flawless. The 1% was when I ordered a psp (brand new of course) and it had 8 dead pixels (damn Sony). So my dad emailed Amazon (I was a kid then) and they sent a new one to us the next day. We returned the old one. Anyways, it depends on the situation. My dad has been buying stuff from Amazon for over 10 years, so he gets excellent service.
I wouldn't "bump them off" primarily because they're a good company. If you broke it yourself, just get it fixed. Bababa(4minute are awesome singers!) Back to topic
Order spare parts. If you think you can fix it yourself, do so. Otherwise pay a little £££ and watch the magic unfoldn Beware though, go to a respected repair shop. During my time on the HD2 foruma, I used to shudder when I read bone-chilling stories of how people's HD2s were sent back "repaired" with glue dripping all over the screen, and a crack job repair like something off craigslist. My advice: ask your friends!
