My stylus just broke (between the plastic and metal part) of my M700.
I've read in a Dutch forum that serveral users of the MY700 had the same problem.
I'm wondering if this only applies for the M700 or other branded versions as well?
same here... i have an italian p3600. I repaired it with tape, it looks ugly, but until i get some spares for ebay or whatever, i'm not going to crack the second stylus as well

Same here as well. Mine is an original HTC p3600. Never had any problem with my previous Magican's stylus.
I have had the same issue.
Does anyone know if the 818Pro Stylus is the same (they look identical in pics)
Is the 818 a prophet (M600), if so they are different.
I always buy the after market stylus that have the built in pen. 3 for about £10. I find it's alway good to have a pen handy just in case, and you have 2 spares.
Anyway if you want my old stylus (white) just pm me an address and I'll post it to you...
same here .. i have htc p3600 .. the 2 original styli broke.. i bought spare 3 pack 2 of them broke already.. i think htc must replace the styli for free and redeisgn their styli.. very frustrated. i-mate never had this problem.
I broke mine (one so far) too. Fortunately, it's easy to find it all over internet.
Styli
I've already gone through 2 in as many weeks. Hoping that superglue holds so I don'r have to keep buying them. Maybe I'll just switch to an all-in-one pen...
i broke mine and the metal part remained in the phone.
please help!!! how do i get it out?
take the back off the phone and alongside the stylus "shaft" you'll see there are 3 holes down the shaft. If you get a paperclip and unfold it, or a needle or something, you can "scrape" it out of the hole and it will come out.
I had to do this the other week as my stylus -also- broke
If the stylus has broke inside the P3600 the easiest wxay to remove it is :
Take the back off the phone, remove the battery. you will see a little white plastic thing on your left, remove that things, you'll access the stylus metal part that has the notch. With a flat small scrwdriver you should be able to remove it from there.
HTC stylus is very very very fragile.. i broke both my original stylus already.. a simple drop break it, but i managed to re-attached it using a super glue, drop it again.. broke just a bit higher than before and can no longer be re-attach.. looking at the condition of the broken stylus the material looks like plastic-glass kinda material which is very damn cheap and fragile.. it looks tough on the outside but when you broke it, the you can see how crappy the material is. My advice get a whole metal stylus custom made for your HTC (gonna cost you a bit) but a peace of mind is more valuable compare to when you have to use anything available around you to navigate your pda.. it's HTC money making strategy..
One Piece Stylus
Hello all,
I received my replacement stylii on ebay, and I found out that they are made out of one piece of plastic. So there would not be a "weak point" of mounting two different materials together.
It is also more flexible than the original stylus, so I think this one will never break again!
The only downside so far:
The are completely black, no shiny metal.
And you need fewer force to pull them out. They sit proper in their container, and you can feel them lock into place. However fewer force is needed to pull it out. That can be good, or bad.
Heres the link:
http://cgi.ebay.at/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120100081257
yes mine too....D810.....but I used super glue to stick it back....still fine until today.....dont use tape....it looks ugly & dirty.
For further use.....use it carefully.....
Hey me too!
Hey.. i had two stylus and boke both of them. Today i broke my second one... i just registered to this site not too long ago, and when i was looking for things to do with a broken stylus.. i found your thread.
Anyway, i was just wondering what to do you do with all the broken styluses? What i did for my first broken stylus is this. I didn't want a second one... so i'm still holding back from doing the same thing with it. Anyway, there are some bad side to making a stylus from the broken one. You cannot fit it into your device. Anyway.... don't be sad!
5th
I broke my fourth stylus this morning and I'm on my 5th. I try to use a 4-in-1 pen/stylus/laser/light gadget when I can, but it's not too handy to carry around in my pocket (drains the laser battery). The pen styli I've found don't fit in the well correctly, and the cap tends to come off leaving the rest of the stylus in the PDA.
I'll have to stock up again when I go back to bangkok.
Dopod needs to find a better design.

Hi guys,
Well it seems a real disappointment, but my Orbit 2 has gathered some dirt inside (I guess below outer touch surface and inner screen). Is there some way to get rid of it, can we disassemble the fornt cover in a simple way to do this?
ps: mind you its got nothing to do with a screen protector, the dust is inside the upper surface. If I got it after 1 month of use, I'm pretty sure all other owners will have similar problems!
Or you have a deffective unit in which the front protector (hardware, not accessory) was not stuck firmly enough, and let some dust inside...
I would strongly advise to NOT open the device, go back to your reseller. Most lower-tech devices can be opened, but I would really discrouage you to open this one... Much is at stake, unless you have plenty of money, but then you would have bought another one already

Thanks for the reponse. But is this an un-heard-of problem for HTC devices? Same thing happened with my Nokia mobile, there was not much help except cleaning it, and it was a design flaw. For the case of HTC I guess it wont come under warranty!
It was definitely an inherent problem with Nokia phones, and with other manufacturers' phones, where you could "snap off" the fascia in order to replace it with an painted one. Dust easily made its way under the screen cover and I was forever trying to clean it off and then snap the case back together before any new dust managed to settle!
The Touch Cruise doesn't have such a design, and taking the front off to clean underneath the fascia would be a very risky and skilled job. I second the recommendation to not tackle this yourself but to take it back to where you bought the phone from and see what they will do about it.
I have a quite a few scratches on the touch screen and also one on the home button, which is deeper. Most of the scratches on the touch screen are not very deep but theres alot of them. I was thinking of trying toothpaste but have been told that it could damage screen. Any suggestions?
Hi,
there is a polish compound called Displex. This worked best for me on GameBoy, mobile phones and MP3 players.
Just look for it on ebay, should be as cheap as 1-2 Euros (about the same in $)

Hi thanks a lot for the reply Zuzler, are you sure it will work on a touch diamond? And have you tried it on anything touchscreen?
I tried Displex on my old htc tornado, and it didn't work very well for me.
i got HUGE scratches on my TD
the first day i got it there was a scratch on it.. before i could apply the screenprotector...
wish we could buy the front plastic for our TD/MDA, i once checked it out and the front is actually a 'screenprotector (just a piece of plastic with the black on the side ) ' too (at least mda) but if you rip it off you'll see all the bits inside i think.. so applying a fully transparent screenprotector over it would be ugly...
whoops double reply
BRASSO is good. available in the UK and US. do not get into gaps.
Oh, I forgot to mention that:
I think someone around here already wrote that. Since Displex melts the top layer of the display, it might be useless for the Diamond display since it has not the typical plastic-surface. But as I can not confirm that, you might want to research it yourself.

Zuzler

I dont think I will risk testing the brasso, but many thanks for your help Also I have bought a screen protector now it should come in a week or two, I know its a bit late but do you think it will cover up the scratches?
If the scratches are not too deep and you polish the display with a non-fuzzing cloth before applying the protector you should get quite good results.
See this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415933
Back in the day when I had a iPod Video, i had heaps of scratches on the screen (brasso wouldn't work very well). I put on a screen protector and none of them could be seen anymore. Wouldn't have known there are scratches on it. I dunno if it would work on the Diamond but its worth a go.
new anti-scratch device
they sell some devices out there which are...
..well, I don't know how to describe them...
I'll try, anyway: they are transparent and very thin plastic layers which often have a sticky compound on one side and you generally apply on the screen (and buttons like in the Diamond) of your phone. In this way you can scratch them but they prevent scratches on your screen.
They are amazing, and everybody should get one together with the new phone...
Obviously you have to purchase one before scratching the display.
I would say that this method could be called PREVENTION!

Well, my sofas came both with a cover, so I can wash them separately.
I bet your ones instead are dirty and you opened already a thread in http://forum.sofa-developers.com with the title 'Removing Stains'
The magnet holding the stylus seems to have either come off its usual spot or is turned in another direction. But the stylus wasn't holding anymore. Today, I got to work and noticed I had lost the stylus. Is there any known fix for this? I never dropped the phone, it just wouldn't work one day.
Thanks for any help.
Did you open the Stylus? You can srew it (upper black part) up, where you can see the magnet that is hold by a plastic part: it cant move .... did someone fool you?
Greetz
Boris
Well, my stylus is lost now so it's too late. No, nobody was trying to trick me. Are you saying that the only magnet is in the tip of the stylus? The end that you write with? Because I believe I have another one.
with mine you cant write like a pencil only on the touch screen without ink ;-), its a touch pro without branding original from HTC. the magnet in it is placed in the inner stylus ca. 3 cm upwards from the "tip" ..., you can say just in the middle ..
Greetz
Boris
Well, mystylus was going into it's sleeve and not staying in, it was just sliding out. So, I don't know where the magnet was at all.
For me it seems that the contra part in the inner of your device (ferrum or magnetic) has moved or is broken so the magnetic stylus "found nothing to be magnetic with" hope you understand me, my english is worst .... You know that you need a little Power to remove the stylus from his hole. if you could test it with the other stylus that you still own (but must be for the TP!!), wether the stylus is hold or not.... and have a look in the inner of the stylus wether the magnet is there...
good night.... perhaps till tomorrow.... If you need a plan from the inner parts of the TP: i have one
Greetz
Boris
P.S. If you shake your device: Do you hear anything ??
Well, I tried but my replacement stylus didn't work. There is definitely a magnet missing inside the phone. At first it was tight, then it seemed blocked and now it just glides in and out.
So, can anyone give me any hints about what I can do to fix my stylus not sticking in its sleeve? I really need this fixed. Is it safe to open up a Fuze?
This happened to me today...
i have removed the battery, chip, microsd and then the back cover... a bit tricky but it was easy (folowing the dis/assembly guide), for mine the lower part didnt want to go out, so i pull out the speaker connector and then push it out.
and the other magnet was there... and it have a place in the back cover that i think it may be seen if you take the battery out... it have like a dent
now my problem is with the polarity... i dont know how to glue it ... it have 2 positions vertical or horizontal
the vertical position will attract the stylus but it seems not to enter completely
the horizontal will push it, but i dont know if it will hold it as is very hard to test it without adding glue and i will use exposy...
EDIT1: found where it go... its in the vertical position but it need to be tested (because the polarity is different dont know why) if you are going to glue it
EDIT2: i used a plastic card (old medic card, visa, ect) to pry out the back cover from the keyboard
Thanks
Many,many thanks to you.
Same situation so easy but the lose magnet not easy to find except by your tips. Ha, ha I love this forum, So many thanks to the people here who contribute helping each other

Hi,
My nexus one screen cracked (after falling from 3 feet high) and I need a replacement for the digitizer. I've found this one on dealextreme but I don't know if it will work properly. Has anyone tried it?
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40671
I've also got this other option. A little more pricy
http://cgi.ebay.es/GENUINE-HTC-NEXU...ssories_RL&hash=item2eaeddd484#ht_2322wt_1137
by the way, can the "plastic opening tool" be replaced by a guitar pick?
thanks a lot
I can't help you with the digitizer but the guitar pick should work fine, it'll just be more difficult.

http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-digitizer-p-8252.html
it would be funny if this one is better than the stock one (ie no multitouch/calibration issues)
I have a hunch they are all the same, but please don't hold me to that.
I got the one from ebay, and it worked find with no calibration issues at all.
Note that this is not an easy swap at all. The way this thing is built is pretty incredible. I found someone who tore one down on youtube, and it was split into something like 30 separate videos, and used them to figure it out. I was so surprised and excited that it still worked when I was done that I nearly dropped it again
Note that the one that I got DID NOT come with adhesive. I had to fabricate my own using scotch double stick tape and a knife, and it wasnt perfect. When I was done it seemed to stick well, but there were a few places I could see the tape sticking out slightly, and I'm sure since the seal wasn't perfect that lint would have eventually worked its way inside.
(I ended up sending it off to HTC for an overheating issue and faulty lock button, and elected for the advance replacement, so I ended up with a shiny new phone minus the battery cover they made me keep)
I wish you luck in the repair, I hope you've got a light touch and some heavy patience.
have you tested that digitizer for the dreadful multitouch issues before sending it to htc?
i would love to replace mine, it's getting on my nerves :/
It's so hit-and-miss,I just bought one replacement in lightake.com,I received it today,and I put it on my digitizer.
I bought one off ebay.. went w/a us seller "wholesalegadgetparts" so i could get it quickly the digitizer works fine
as far as adhesive to hold it to the "black frame" i used a 3M double stick tape (cut into very slim strips) that was fairly thin (if its to thick, it'll pop out beyond the aluminum frame when assembled) also used a drop or two of super glue on the top portion..
what sucked was after i got everything back together, my lcd went bad (guess i was mashing it a bit to hard when getting them to stick to the frame) so I bought one off ebay for around $50, seller was "smartlaptopparts" shipped from cali, so quick turn around, and did appear to be "oem"
screen is beautiful now, overall was very happy w/the purchases
OK, not entirely true, you still need a new screen, but this should be a step by step idiot proof how to !!
1) Cry and mourn a little bit over your broken precious, and curse that damn moment where you were reckless ! :angel:
2) Get a new screen+touchscreen assembly (found one for 46$ free shipping on aliexpress). :good:
3) Wait for delivery (mine took around 3 weeks, from china to france).
To open your phone, you'll need : 1 hex screwdriver (H1.0) for one screw
1 of the phillips kind, (size PH*00)
2 finger nails, or any appropriate tool to pry open a phone if none available :silly:
That's it !
4) Look carefully on your new screen where the ribbon is located. This will prevent possible damage when taking apart your phone.
5) Things will get serious now !
6) Remove the 2 plastic covers from top and bottom, by leveraging from the sides. They should pop out quite easily.
7) Remove ALL the 7 screws, including the dirty one hidding beneath the white warranty tape (that bastard made me loose my time, my tamper, and almost my phone !). (By the way... I forgot to say... your warranty is now void... and I'm NOT responsible for whatever might happen, but you already knew that right ?)
8) pry open the phone, starting from the left side, bottom, this is where it gave up first for me.
9) Be carefull with the damn ribbon, it's located on the bottom right ! to fully separate the screen assembly, there is a metallic plate securing the ribbon, which is attached with a 8th screw that is of a metallic color, contrary to the others, which are black.
10) Swap the screen assembly for the new one, you can already check the new screen by turning the phone on. to do so, you need to place at least the right side of the screen in the phone, for the contact pins of the side buttons to touch the springs of the motherboard.
11) If everything works, cry again, but from happiness !!:fingers-crossed:
12) Don't forget to put back the metallic plate and it's securing screw !
13) Put back everything together, and be proud and happy with your good as new phone ! :highfive:
crack across my screen, didn't notice it at first because of the tempered glass i have on it which seems only protects itself ha.
will give this a go.
gorilla glass is clearly a joke.

Build in a new Display as well, after several Cracks into it. 50 Bucks well invested and worked like a charm. THX for the advice and Link to Video. Greetz Ray
Sent from my GEM-703L using XDA Free mobile app
@kwenteen Thank you very much, Mr. nice guy!
Just wanted to share my experience
I broke my screen in a fall (result, a 2cm black, dead vertical stripe) and went looking for a replacement. Well, there is a trap.
I found the only two videos around depicting the disassembly : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeQqJzGmjgk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOG1SISbKw . They are both for the x1, but the process is exactly the same for the x2. It seemed easy enough, so I went ahead.
The problem comes just after : in both videos, you basically open the phone in two, change the screen side including its plastic frame, and that's it. And on the replacement screen I got... There was no frame.
Scratching a bit further, you can find 2 types of screen on aliexpress or or eBay :
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-..._1&btsid=39217636-d23b-40e9-80a5-2d40f85d4b5d
Or
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...2439027932.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.58.J1RiVO
(relevant pictures at the bottom of that page)
The first one comes without the plastic frame, the back is just a mirror with a little black surface on top and bottom, no plastic at all. The second comes with the plastic frame attached, complete with power and volume buttons, and fixations to the other half of the phone.
I found no documentation at all on the Internet on how to remove the screen from the frame, but it's at once very simple and a bit hard : the frame is glued to the screen by a two sides adhesive, it came off using a combination of fingernails, cardboard, patience and terror of breaking it. Insert fingernails between the glass and the gleaming plastic you see around the screen when you look a the front of your phone, and pull. Fear ensues. Begin in the middle of the sides, insert cardboard, and move along the side.
You then have to glue the new screen back on the frame. It's pretty easy on the large surfaces on the top and bottom, but quite tricky on the sides, which are less than 1 mm wide. Non-permanent adhesive is recommended, and some screens come with tools and 2 sided pre-cut adhesive. And also be _very_ careful when inserting the metallic speaker plate on top, I broke the glass surface of the screen when doing so. Yippee. Luckily it still worked.
The new screen was fully functional, except for two problems : double tap to wake doesn't work anymore (it worked flawlessly on the old screen), and the screen strangely lacks sensitivity when the phone wakes from a deep sleep. A reboot fixes the second problem. Very annoying, I wonder if the two issues are linked.
To sort all this out I ordered a second screen with frame, I'll live with this one until it arrives.
That's where I am currently, I hope it might help someone out there, as I have not seen those informations around on the Internet.
Good luck to you all!

Well that's good to know, new possibilities can't hurt, specially when it's cheaper !
But it can be quite confusing !
I even noticed that they now sell digitizers only, for 13 €, which is even cheaper !
I might give it a try to fix my old panel, and make a tuto out of it, if by any chance I was to succeed ! (which will not happen !)
