Well, sadly, today I have broken the ribbon cable on the phone connecting to the screen the screen still appears but will not take input... The big question now is, is it fixable, and if so do I bother?
If not should I try to buy a used DZ or just go for a new phone? What do you guys think?
Then of course if it's a new phone that begs the question.... which one XD haha dam this sucks :/
What do you guys predict will be a highly supported phone by developers of those coming out these days? I want a higher end phone but I also more than that want it to be used by others
This happened to me with my g1. About this late in the game. Bought a used one on Ebay for parts. I also had my g2 out in heavy rain recently on the golf course. 70 to fix the water damage and get a new battery at a cell phone store. They have the parts.
New phone hercules or skyrocket or galaxy nexus depending on your carrier. I'm partial to the hercules. Development is picking up considerably.

What is the other name for the hercules? Also I'm considering the Sensation as it is a good phone and has some nice support and it's been out for awhile... But still looking also considering non-htc phones haha cause I barely use sense anymore anyways
Also should I try to wait until these new phones from MWC are out? I would like one with ICS XD
The Galaxy Nexus would be a no-brainer if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't have an SD-card slot :/ that's where I feel they messed up terribly..

Newer phones are always around the corner. Just make sure you get to play with anything pricey first before you buy

I'm considering just settling for a 2011 high-end phone, right now debating between HTC Sensation and the SGS2
Though first I'm going to be seeing if I can send this phone in for repair... I am under a year, but it's gonna be a lot of work restoring it stock and then if I get it back returning to rooted ><
Good luck man

Thanks haha you think that the SGS2 will be a strong phone for awhile to come? You think development will last as long as it has on the Desire Z?
I found one that is apparently "Fairly good" condition for 300... if there's nothing wrong with the screen I may jump on it haha
I think the htc one s is going to be a really good phone that will last u a long time. It comes out in april so u gotta wait a little longer but its got the new dual core 1.5ghz s4 snapdragon processor which competes and even outdoes the tegra 3 in some categories. I know that its still not the top of the line like the one x which only at&t is getting but its still amazing. Also its got a sick new camera check it out on engadget. It comes with sense 4.0 but u can just get cm9 for a pure ics experience
Edit: just read ur comment about no sd card. Unfortunately this doesn't have one either but I think the one s has 16gb internal could be 32 look it up BUT it does have a free dropbox service for 2 years giving u an additional 25gbs

Yea the one s definitely looks VERY appealing but its a bit expensive and a large problem is the wait time :/ I mean I guess I could try... XD But if they don't replace this phone I'm not going to be able to wait for that as I'll need one now for every day.
Yeah quite frankly if I can hold out I think I would definitely go for the one s or one x, actually the X seems a little TOO big for me, sadly though does have a lot more storage and that bigger battery :/

That smaller battery in one s doesn't make a difference b/c it has a smaller display and a lower res (not true 720p) than the one x. Screen takes a huge amount of power that's y the battery is a little bigger in one x. I even thought the 4.3 was a little big lol my bro has the nexus s and I don't think I would want a display bigger than that. Not sure how much the price will be tho, maybe $250?? Newer high-end phones are breaking that $200 bar we're all used to. Honestly if I was u I would try and wait for a newer phone (i.e. one series) if ur gonna shell out a lot of money cuz the new specs in a month or so are gonna far out date anything that's out now.

Yeah I think I'm pretty much sold on the One S, and yeah I realize that the smaller screen will mean less battery use but just not sure on if it would account for all of it
However early rumours of the costs of the phones are putting them in the range of 700$ :/ I REALLY hope they are wrong! Anything under 600$ I think I would buy the One S
Yeah the 4.3 might be large but I think I'd be able to get used to it, especially with how pretty those 4.3 inches are
So I figured I'd update. I sent the phone in after reverting to stock, but, I have to wait up to a month to get it back, and they were low on loaner phones so I have a 2 year old windows 6.5 phone >< garbage! Supposed to give me an android! So, I called customer support, and after a bit of talking and such, they gave me 75$ towards the HTC one s !

did you fix it? I have to do so now.... (cable from ebay and there is a youtube vid of the disassembly)
I fixed my two g2's. Takes like 15 mins, just remember where the different screws where and don't cut the ribboncable for the keyboard when you open the phone.
Because that ****'s expensive

I am on my second replacement device from Tmo for my G2, and it is also messed up.
Come to find that my phones have been bricking due to an aftermarket battery, hence the exchanges. I have tossed that battery and use my original shipping battery. the first replacement the screen flickered a lot when the screen faded before turning off, the hinge was better than my new one prior, but still a tad off. this one i just got has a missing pixel, and the hinge seems a tad misaligned as well, more than the other one...it taps a bit when typing on the screen instead of hardware keyboard, which my original new one did soon after purchase but not as bad as the original one.
anyone else having issues with refurbs like this? what have you done with tmo to get the situation rectified?
That's why I don't bother sending my phones in. They give you someone elses old defect
sent from my HTC Desire Z
i agree, but i cant afford 500 bucks for a new device right now.
tmo offered me a sidekick 4g with android, a mt4g black, or a HD7 as a replacement if i didnt want another G2 refurb. for ****s and giggles i asked about the G2x they were out of stock. I really need the hardware keyboard
Sidekick 4G isn't bad... same size only downside for me is
NO FLASH for camera. But other than that its decent. I think G2 is best qwerty android smart phone.

Well tmo for now won't budge off of the mt4g or the hd7 as my options over another g2, so ill be getting another phone shipped to me. Let's see how this one ends up doing.

just keep sending the phone back until your satisfied thats what i did . took about 5 times till i get the right one. make sure its made in thailand too cause the one from china got some yellow tint on the screen .

I agree, but its irritating to have to keep doing it. Just remember you have to keep doing it within the first 30 days of the exchange so you don't have to pay for express or any shipping again. Eventually ill end up getting a better alternative as tmo will have to realize the cost of these exchanges would exceed the costs of a brand new phone.

No idea if this is true but it makes sense, they are competing with alot of new phones at the moment (and coming up, like the iPhone 5) and yes bad economical times too for HTC, to keep up with the competition > lower prices.

If you read the source story the liklihood of it being true are slim. Since when does a site called "mydrivers" suddenly become credible? The bad press and rumor mongering are going to hurt HTC more than anything they do at their own hand.

Even of it's true so what? You already bought the phone and I don't know about you but I think I am gonna use the phone for a while and judging by how android phones have been sooner or later the price is gonna go down anyway because there will be newer phones with better specs sold for the same price we bought our phones awhile ago.

You hate the screen which takes 90% of the phone, hate touchwiz, which defines the way you interact with the phone but still think S3 is better... that makes sense. Or at least explains why you trust that source.
Let's get real. If there are some price cuts they will be for the Chinese version (HTC did say they will bet on the Asian market) which means locked bootloaders, internet limited to the Chinese version and all the other goodies the Chinese will make HTC include in the phone. Thanks, but no thanks!

They can sell them for what they want. It's an electronic gadget, they always always drop in price over time. Who in their right mind would be a) surprised & b) angry over this?

I don't understand why anyone would expect them not to cut the price. When I got my hTC Desire, it had to be on a £36+/month contract to be free. Just 6 months later, it was on £20 contracts and the One X is going that way. All phones do, they're never 'current' for very long, it's just something you have to accept when buying electronics these days. Next year, all the midrange phones will have quad core CPUs and HD screens, the the year after, a £99 network operator-rebranded ZTE will. It's a _good_ thing. Don't complain about being an early adopter, it's your choice to make.
Ask yourself this: While you may be able to purchase the phone, or an equivalent phone for less money now, surely you couldn't at the time you bought it? Are you not happy you've been able to use it until now?

when it was first launched, in UAE it was like DHS 2750 and after a month its DHS 2500 and stayed like that for 3 more months, now its around DHS 2300-2400. Thats normal for every phone i've got and even the s3 is around the same price now as well.

I went to the store, I saw the one S, I was about to take it but turns out it only has 16GB and not SD slot so no go for ONE S.
I saw the ONE V, its nice and small, with SD card but cpu is 1 core only.
anyway, there wasn't much of a choice, xperia models are all old, no xperia T , thats it I couldn't find any other phone beside the iphone 5 crap =))
so i got the one V but I didn't un box it yet so I may return it if I found a better phone soon.

I tried the Note 2 and don't really like it. Everything about the phone is good but its size and build. I like the speed and special features together with huge battery; however, the size is way too big for me to handle. Sometime it becomes inconvenience for me.

I thought it was some sort of Paintballing Company or something, sorry im a 90s kid
Common haha! S3 is awesome. I sent my S3 to repair some stuff (read this: ClickMe LOL)
Then i bought a HOX, i really enjoyed the phone but htc made some limitations, that's why I preffer S3. Its a plastic made phone but its very resistent, I love to flash roms but unfortunatly I got a S-ON device.
This year I bought 5 phones: iPhone 4S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note 1rst gen, Galaxy S3 and now HOX.
About iPhone 4S:
It's a very nice phone but I have always had apple devices, all iphones and i wanted to try something new.
About Galaxy Nexus:
I don't know if it's only in Brazil, but i got an international one, and there was no Gorila Glass o.0. Camera is really bad. At least nexus is on top to receive new updates.
About Galaxy Note:
It's a HUGE phone lol. Now I started to think i'm unlucky lol. Most of G.Note came with a Bug that you can't do a full wipe coz it erases the efs partition and you turn your device into a brick.
About Galaxy S3:
One world? GOD.
It's the best phone I've ever had. It's fast, beautiful, awesome camera quality. It's "wow". You can be sure it will receive many updates since the "S" line is very famous. You can say it's "cheap plastic" but why do u want more? Are you going to play tennis with your phone?? LOL
About HOX:
Loved HTC sense. Too bad i got a S-ON device and _044 cid. I'm a "rom-flashing" fanatic. I love to try as many roms as i can in a day lol, with this limitation by htc forces me to use S3 as main. Battery also SUCKS BY ALOT.But i'm gettin HOX+ as soon as its avaliable.Too bad I live in brazil and need to buy this phone in Paraguai lol its gonna take 10000000 years.
Sorry for my english typos lol
Hope this help you

Agreed.. ps. Only thing i don't like about Note 2 is the battery, thing doesn't die even how hard i try! 9hrs screen on time with WiFi on, all the syncs on and heavy use browsing xda and internet. How you can Kill the battery in 1 day? Impossible.

I just cracked the screen on my E4GT today and can't stand looking at the cracks. It's driving me nuts!!! Sprint has cut me off from using Assurion as I have wore out my "replacement" welcome. I'm not a huge fan of the GS3, and after spending a little while with my friend's, I really didnt see that big of a performance boost over my S2. The Note 2 is too freaking big. I really dont want to spend $200 on an Optimus G or the Sprint One X, and I hate IOS.
It doesn't look like we are going to see a CDMA Nexus 4 anytime soon. There are some pretty stellar deals out there for the GNex, but I'm not sure if I wan't to waste an upgrade on a phone with year old tech. I hear that with project butter on Jellybean, the phone still performs almost as well as some of the newer devices on the market. So, I guess what I'm asking is this......Would anyone out there recommend the Gnex this late in the game? Or should I suck it up, spend the extra cash I don't necessarily have to spend and get one of the newer phones on Sprint?
It would be cool to have 2 Nexus 7s and a Gnex all running stock google in the house too!!! LOL
Also, is it extremely difficult to change out a screen on the E4GT? I was supposed to give my son my phone once I finally upgraded and might be able to save a few bucks that way.
Just upgraded my Mom to a gnex. On upgrade price. Can't beat stock android. Its a nice phone and never ceases to surprise me. Also have two N7's mine and my bros. I can't tell a difference between the two in terms of performance. Games... maybe... but for the most part they are equally smooth. I would say get one off contract, I don't think you'll regret it. And when you get it. Check out my port of rasbean.

I had to pick between the s3 and nexus and I went ahead whit the s3 not a single regret it has good camera really good battery life whit stock battery and everything works the way it should..
However I never go out whitout a case I dropped it once from 1 foot drop and got black spots when viewing very dark background in dark rooms :/ it breaks really easy..

It's still a very good phone, and it'll get 4.2 and run it well. Also, the CM10 and other ROMs are very mature. I'm sure you'd be happy with the Gnex, though after 6 months you may regret it when there are new phones from Samsung and HTC that will be better even than the One X and the GS3.
You could pick one up for pretty cheap on eBay and save the upgrade for something else later on?

The title says it all.
My HOX is 6 months old and I plan to buy a new phone in 1.5 years. The reason for that is the fact that I'll be buying my first tablet this year It's definitely going to be a Windows 8 ( Not RT!) tablet, and those are kind of pricy. If I had the money to upgrade my phone too, I think I would wait anyway.
My HOX is pretty good or the stuff I use it for, and saying that you NEED (not want) an upgrade from a quad-core 1.5ghz 6 months old phone is just silly.
What do you think?
PS. Please write which phone you plan to buy next
Felt cheated with the sudden announcement of X+ now happy with my note 2!

Knowing HTC, I will wait for a device that launches later in the year. Gives them more time to "fix" any "disappointments" that usually come with their initial offerings. Considered Butterfly, but the improvements are negligible for my needs. In America, it will probably be relaunched as DNA PLUS EXTRA CHROMOSOMES.

I truly think a 5 inch phone is too big.
I am 6" 2 with hands to match and i can barely operate my ONE x with a single hand.
If i do buy a new phone, it sure as hell wont be more than 4.7 inches.
So i would probably hold out until such a phone comes out to my specifications
Well my HOX is 9 months old. I will plan to buy a replacement when there is a new HTC device with big improvement and specs. Like when I had my HTC Desire, I changed phone only when HOX launched (big improvements in term of specs).

Agreed. You should buy a phone which will actually feel a lot better.

Yea, I think that I could go to 4.8 and that's it. Especially with Android because you have to alternate between the top (notifications, toggles) and bottom (buttons) all the time.

Thats true.
and god knows how many times i have dropped my phone, trying to unlock with one hand, or pulling down notification bar with one hand.
Thank htc its a sturdy phone.

I mean ... doesnt it look foolish when u hold a huge phone up against your ear shouting "HELLo, HELLOOOO "|

Well, you get some pretty funky sights in this part of the world, with people holding their iPads to their ear to make a call. Rowan Atkinson once said a banana isn't funny until you enlarge it.
Mine is almost 8 months old, still happy with it.
I'm gonna wait with buying a new phone untill I bought my first car this year (turning 18 ), and I know that a BMW will be damn pricy

Wow dude, you are an expensive offspring did you earn the cash yourself or will it be a gift from your parents? I'm turning 18 in a few months too, but I'm gonna get like 150€ from my parents, and I think that that's really a lot anyway, I'm OT-ing in my own thread...

My hox is from April 2012......i am intending to keep it for 2 years, my HTC desire also survived 2.4 years so i think i can manage. Or there has to be a new top notch phone brought on the market !
Greetings
Mr Hofs
My hox is 6 months old. I replaced it with a note 2, 3 months ago. Haha. Still kept the hox as an mp3 player.
I find the note 2 easy one handed. Im 5ft 4 and can type one handed and reach every corner except the top left

I'm waiting for the phone calls to start......due my upgrade in 6 days, be funny to see what Vodafone/Dialaphone offer me as an "upgrade"!!
I may just let the contract run the 12 months then take a sim only deal for a while until something decent comes out. Or may even just grab another phone to sell on

I can't reach the top left corner of my HOX and I have pretty big hands. But I'm using it with a case, the case adds a but more bulk.

I've had my phone since the first day I could get my hands on it.
I'm likely to buy the next one the first day I can get my hands on it.
I like the size of this, so it'll be something similar but based on quad Cortex A15. Looks like it'll be full HD, although I'm not sure I'll be able to tell the difference.
Really what I want is a desktop monitor with much greater PPI (that doesn't cost the earth), how does it make sense for a 4.7" display to have the same resolution as a 24" display?
