To cut a long story short, i dropped my xda2 in the toilet at work!
so went home and claimed it on my house insurance and i now own a lovely spvm2000 but im left with this xda2 thats been down the pan, the thing switches on and it all appears to work fine except its black listed, obviously coz i claimed on insurance so i will open it up and sling the pcb in the bin, unless anyone wants some componets from that, but i shall not be selling the phone complete or the pcb seperate. so for sale i have everything else here is a list of what i can think of
fully working screen with no scratches
houseing(scratched but back cover is fine)
4 styli (3 in original o2 retail pckaging)
all the box with instruction and sw cd
leather case
aluminium case (scratched)
Genuine Battery
Cradle
thats all i can think of atm, if u want any of it just make me and offer, dont want much for the stuff as its just sitting there redundant now and not being used!
if u can think of anything else that came with the phone that ive not listed let me know and ill let u know if i got it!

Before you throw the board away it will work in other countires, maybe somebody has a knackered motherboard in usa and could use a replacement.
well its still a blacklisted phone, i know it will work in america or other countries but its still illegal, i know it was my pohone that i flushed down the toilet but still illegal to sell it coz it blacklisted so ill just sling it and sell the other parts of the phone
slung it yet?
Hello, I'm interested in your tft display. mine got cracked, and I'm not about to pay the outrageous replacement pricing that the German T-mobile wants...
you'd save the day (month, etc.) if it's still around. By the way, I'd also be interested in the accessories like cradle, pouch belt clip, sync cable, etc. they seem to be designed to last 6 months, and if your belt clip croaks over here (Germany) the telekom suggest that you buy a new leather pouch, "which comes with a new belt clip" (***holes):evil:

I have scratched the casing of my XDA II quite badly and am a bit upset by it. Does anybody know where I can get a replacement casing for it? Note, I don't need a case, I need the actual housing of the unit. Preferably in the UK, but not necessary.
Cheers
Allan
good luck!, I've been looking for just the rear housing for 6 months with no luck.
there is someone selling XDA2 dummies in Uk on ebay.
Maybe you could use that
nit expensive at £70 but u can get a full o2 XDAII housing at www.siansmobiles.co.uk
ive bought stuff from him before, hes a top bloke.
his msn is [email protected] hes one there alot so you can talk to him on there

unsuccessfull so far
anyway my transparent plastic case buttom lock broke off in the fall
so i'm shopping for a replacement
i still want transparent but maybe more in the rubber department
to fit my SM outfit jk
found this one in the forum
http://www.capdase.com/index.php?page=product&type=9&cat=10&brand=38&prd=196
but they are based in hongkong and i would pref to get it from an EU country also i cant see the pricetag or any info about shipping
http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/pro...Id=169&productRef=PSKN-71112-00&category=SKIN
then i came across this one but it dont look like it protects the screen which kinda makes it useless
http://www.pielframa.com/xda_II_silicone.htm
and this one have the same problem not even sure if it's not just the same case....
suppose i could look if i can rma it but since i ordered it from britten it seems like more hassel then it's worth :/
guess i could also just buy the same case again but i always felt it a bit troublesome to get access to the screen not to mention if i were charging using the cable opening the case to type in my password to check how the power % was, was a pain
whats other peoples experiences and info about resellers of the first case in eu ?
Check Ebay, I bought a silicon case and they shipped it from Hong Kong
I paid not even 25Euro, shipping included. You can find cheaper, you just have to bid... .
The Phone is 3 months old and my rubber ring just fell off, not the whole wheel though...
Any suggestins how I can fix it back on again, or should I return the handset ?
Thanks
nid
This happened to me and I returned it and they happily put another one on (but took 28 days to do so)!!!
It happened to a friend of mine too, who also sent it back. Then it happened again, so she just super glued it back on.
If it were me, and it was still in warranty, I'd send it back.
When mine came off I just placed it back on and applied presure. After a few days of not using the wheel it should stick. Mine hasn't come off since
Thanks guys
I washed the ring and the wheel witha little soapy water and a wet cloth to get the fluff off and pushed it back on again. so far so good.
The fone is in waranty, so if it comes off again, I'll consider returning it.
Again, Thanks

my xda orbit 2 rubber ring fell off too
hi, it happened to me as well, my wheel rubber ring fell of i stick it back on but after few weeks i noticed it wasn't on it, it must have fell off but i can't do anything about it cos i bought my xda orbit 2 from ebay. will have to manage without it, don't thing u can buy just a rubber ring on its on, or can u?
I've had this problem and am on my 4th handset... O2 will replace the entire handset if you tell them to... never ask what they can do for u... just TELL them and they get it done... but it's better if you're with O2 online rather that the shops as they get a guy to deliver the new one and pick up the old one at the same time... so ur not without a phone!
yup, I'm getting my THIRD handset from O2 today becase of the ring falling off. I did try superglueing one of them back on but the glue reacted with the rubber and it turned in to a big mess! It's a good phone but this is a serious problem, it must be costing HTC a fortune to keep replaceing the handsets.
Why don't you just go to a local "home center" or a similar store, buy some glue that intended to bind rubber with metal, use it, and forget the issue ?
if I was 6 months in to my contract I'd of been more pro active about doing that but the wheel to fall off within a month, it was going back! if it continues to happen I may give that a go though. (assumeing the ring doesn't get lost)
Hi there,
Sorry to drag this up again !
I also have a XDA Orbit 2 as a second handset, bought off Ebay so no warranty with O2 online etc etc.
I need the rubber ring - quite why HTC decided to just stick it on with double sided tape stuff is beyond me!
Is there anywhere I can get a replacement rubber ring from? failing that, anyone know of a decent DIY job ? I tried getting a 'washer' from a local DIY type shop, it fits perfectly, but is about 2mm too deep - I couldn't 'shave' 2mm off either as internally it's metal.
Help anyone?!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!
Hi all,
Just bumping this..
Anywhere that I can get the rubber ring? or anyone know of a cheapo DIY version?
Cheers!
Dennis! West London UK!
Mine fell off and I just do without it. the 2 small holes are handy for twiddling the wheel while using the stylus
Some people said that this rubber rings can be found in ebay... but wht don't you give your phone for repair in o2 shop? if it's within 2 years from purchase won't cost you a cent/penny
Hi there,
I didn't buy the phone via O2 or their shops - it was purchased from an independant seller off Ebay.
Will O2 still replace the rubber ring in this case?
Still haven't seen a listing on Ebay for a replacement ring either...
I'm looking to sell the phone so just want it replaced so it's a 'complete' handset.
Cheers, Dennis, West London UK!
Well, I wanted a case for my N1... and found the Amzer-Rubberized-Black-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case... it looked good and so I ordered it from the amzer website... hxxp://amzer.com/Amzer-Rubberized-Black-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case-P86573.htm
my biggest mistake... recd. it 16 days after I placed the order... after constantly nagging their customer support... and the product is miserable... poor quality... does not snap together properly (very tight fit... too tight!!!)... the inside is very rough...
should I get a replacement... well, I'm thinking not... I'll land up wasting more time and money... and get one more unit which will be just as bad...
My advice... stay away from this... get something decent even if you have to pay more... something which is good quality and fits properly!
Amzer and Fommy.com are joke retailers in my opinion. I ordered a case from them, a hard case, which in the pictures on their site showed that it covered the front bottom portion of the phone completely around the trackball. It looked great in the pic as it showed it protected every exposed area of the phone except the screen and trackball. They charged $17 + 5 shipping which I though was a bit high for a hard case but since it covered the whole phone I thought it was worth it. After waiting 2 weeks for delivery what I got was totally different than what was pictured. It's a hard case that covers only the outer front edge of the phone like a crystal case. Not worth more than five dollars on eBay. I went back on there site and noticed that the small image of the case still looks like what i thought I was ordering but if you hover your mouse over the image a larger image appears that is totally different than the smaller. This image was changed after the day I ordered at some point. I talked to a CSR (Fommy.com) and they had no idea what i was talking about and said they would need to look into it and get back to me, that was a week ago. I e mailed Amzer about it and they never responded back (Partner site). The customer service rep did say i could ship it back at my expense. WTF. Theives and con-artists. Do yourself a favor and don't deal with them. Pass it along.
Terrible product...don't even deal with them again!
I just got a similar product from bargaincell via amazon and it does not fit. Granted, I only paid $6 (including shipping) I expected the case to at least fit. It looks like a bad mold. The cover for the face of the N1 does not totally match cover for the back of the device. Four of the five snap on clasp(I hope thats the right term) on the inside of the top cover match the bottom cover. It just one thats out of place therefore its keep the the top cover from snapping completely shut. Bargaincell's invoice states they have a no-hassle return policy.....I will find out if it holds true on Monday.
Well, I decided to contact Amzer regarding the crappy case... got an e-mail back from them after 2 days... they told me to mail it back to them along with a $5 re-shipping fee... WTF!!! I pay to send it to them and I pay the shipping fee for the new one as well... absolute rip-off!!!
STAY AWAY FROM AMZER AND IT'S PRODUCTS!!!!!
I got stinged by them too. They even had the guts to charge me a 15% restocking fee, and I had to call them up 2 weeks later to get my refund because they "forgot" about it...
Amzer and Fommy, avoid like the plaque.
ordered this on friday and got today .. nice case over all better than other cheap cases on ebay. am sick of ebay sellers for cheap cases of no use. finally this is better than other cases that I saw
I've been looking around for a replacement housing for my G2, it's pretty knocked up (bought it 2nd hand), had a look at faulty used phones and official replacement housing, but both are surprisingly expensive (you wouldn't believe how much people pay for an old waterdamaged phone with an unrepairable screen and dents left right and centre.
Anyway, I've seen a full housing (minus screen/ glass) by Ecell which is (quote) "New Genuine ... For HTC Desire Z", previously it was £300ish on eBay, I've now seen it for under a tenner (still direct from Ecell).
Thing is it's black, so the use of the word "genuine" is questionable (do they mean "genuine" Ecell, or "genuine" HTC?), although in the description they say "Official HTC product". Also I've never bought anything Ecell before.
I just wanted to know if any of you guys have bought one of these replacement housings, or anything from Ecell before? Feedback would be greatly appreciated .
Best I have found is about 40$ for a full housing replacement OEM, if considered it the past but haven't been able to justify that just for aesthetics. I recently stopped using my dock and just use one of the original T-Mobile cases I fond for a few bucks (thick rubber, bulky but real nice) since then I gave up on pretty.
Never bought from ecell before so I couldn't attest to their reputation
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've seen the E-CELL product on eBay for about 10 pounds and it seems a good price for it.
However, while I'm not sure of its' quality, for that value I'd be willing to take a risk and see what's it about.
@demkantor Thanks, according to Google $40 = £25, and official HTC housing goes for around £30, which is absurd 'cause that's well over half of what I paid for my G2. I don't fancy a case, the Vision is already thick and heavy without one (can you even use the keyboard with a case on? )
@geojoking Yep, that's the one I found, previously £300 (wtf?!). Unless anyone highly cautions against Ecell I might go for it, besides as you say it is less than £10 so probably worth the risk. Anyway, if I do get it I can post a review here !
you can slide it fine, i would prefer not to use one but im running low on spare phones at the moment and i dont mind the bulk, but yes definitely bulkier!
i believe the original leaked photos of the g2/dz were of a black model or at least real dark grey. supposedly there is some mystic black version that is near impossible to get a hold of with a different bootloader then all the others, it had a different name but fell under the vision still i believe... cant remember much about it
so that would mean its possible these are genuine and being they were once 300 that may mean that ecell had them since the very beginning as when phones first come out parts like this tend to cost more than a new phone! they could have gotten the original casting and colors prerelease to the public... just a thought
either way for that price go for it, if it turns out not to fit not a huge loss, if it works great then you have one of the few(if any) black visions!
i would suggest getting some 3m adhesive tape (2mm?) as moving the digitizer will require this as well as holding down the flex. let me know how it turns out! maybe ill try it myself
I saw these a while back, almost bought it but was sceptical of the quality. Really wish I did now..
