New LCD for HTC touch cruise problems

i've recently changed my lcd screen of cruise. The new screen has more brightness than the old one but lesser contrast. Is really dissapointing when you look at it from a small angle. (too bright). I sent back the cruise at HTC representative in Cyprus but they said that these are the new screens they install and can't do anything else. Anyone experienced any similar problem?
Is there a hidden service menu you can adjust the brightness?

Besides the included HTC Brightness application that is by default part of your apps in HTC Home, you can change brightness in Settings>>System Tab>>Brightness

You mean th backlight? it's not a problem with the backlight. the lcd has too much brightness and little contrast.

i've uploaded 2 photos of the cruise to see the screen

It looks like a bad screen. I would try to get them to replace it again.

I have exacatly the same problem!
where did you get your screen from?
I ordered mine from a chinese company on Ebay (please see my TC dismantling instructions here for details) and got the same results:
the viewing angle and contrast is not as it was, and I compared it to a new TC. It's hard to see something from the side, botton-angle view is blanked.
One lab's technician told me the LCD's probably not original or dropout, as "it should cost 100$ and more"...
I ask the supplier about that and they insist they checked it before delivery and may be "I'd fitted it wrong" (?!)
There is no 'special' fitting there, and only one ribbon connection, so it's either working or not - nothing to do with viewing angle and contrast.
Any help on this TC issue is welcomed

It's like Orbit II screen.. Poor viewing angle..
Screen quality is mainly difference of touch cruise and orbit II.. But it's like replacement parts of TC same as orbit II unfortunately...
Sorry for my English...

LCD Replacement
Hi also.
This is clearly a miserable story. My screen broke and I also obtained a replacement screen through Hong Kong (via a UK reseller) which suffers exactly the snags you have (dodgy screen contrast and very poor viewing angle). I think it's rubbish but what's the alternative apart from an OEM high cost fix? For info I think the poor performance in these screens is a standard feature as the first screen replacement had slightly different fixing/alignment lugs and was replaced by a different unit with the correct lugs. Both units however had identical poor screen performance. Has anyone replaced a screen with performance identical to the original??
Many thanks and great forum/very helpful thread.....

I have mine replaced 3 weeks ago due to a small accident with my phone, fortunately I have a insurance on it and I let it repair by official HTC dealer.
I donot have the issues as described here... Maybe this can help you in contacting the suppliers you used..

I have owned a TC since Feb 08. Earlier this month the top half of screen would not display. Returned to HTC USA for repair. They claimed TC out of warranty for several reasons, including breaking security seal. None of reasons were accurate, but agreed to pay approx USD200 for repair as I need my phone. Unit returned with poor quality "washed out" screen described above. Sent phone back and was told they did not see any problems. I called and directed them to HTC website so they could see pictures of what the TC display should look like. It seems repair was made with the "available" replacement screens. Requested replacement phone if they cannot repair to original quality. Called my vendor, Mobile Planet for assistance but they could/would not help. After discussing with "management" a HTC cust svc rep emailed an offer late last week to replace with a generic english phone. Email stated replacement phone would be the same model, but with different part number? HTC rep out of office to answer questions/resolve until next week. Will update post with outcome.

I had to replace my screen aswell.
I ordered the part trough an ebay seller. It cost me around 45 euro's incl. s&h.
The screen works but starts up in what's best described as "save mode" = 4 color low res.
But when the device turns into standby mode and awakes again the screen shows normal res and colors and is very much the same Q as the one that was replaced.
No contrast or view issues though....

im happy to see im not the only one with this problem.
I gave back my touch cruise to HTC because i broke my LCD.
same problem, the display has a lot of brightness but not a lot of contrast, and the view angle is poor!
i called my htc vendor and he tolds me that's the new LCD from htc.
PLUS:
My htc came back with a hole, like if he fall.... im very angry.

Wow, I am totally freaked now...
I just droopeed, ehm ok I confess, I did a Hulk slam with my HTC cruise just yesterday (personal issue...love sucks) anyways, I am about to get my lcd replaced for $130 I hope I dont suffer.
I do however need one help, it seems that my HTC is still functional, I could recieve calls, although I cant be sure of anything else since my screen doesnt display anything. The casing is all cracked and partially open .
But Windows Sync still works perfectly, my only question is: Is there any way I can save my smses? Perhaps it is filed under a certain folder?
I really need my sms it contains some data that I have not saved into notes, unfortunately I have not installed anyback up programs. I have looked around the folders on the internal memory but cant find it, Is there hope for me still?

My Mobiler
Well, here is a really nice helper to LCD-less units:
Download the free My Mobiler and use it's on-desktop-screen simulator to manage your phone.
Otherwise you can go Explore the unit with ActiveSync for any data you may need.

Just to report. I got my LCD screen replaced by Pocketpctechs.com, has the wash out screen problem.

HTC screen repair issue may be a big problem since they could not replace with screen of original quality. To solve my complaint, HTC provided a replacement phone. HTC stated it was a refurbished unit, but I think it was a brand new phone. It is my guess that for some odd reason, HTC is not able to provide OEM screens.
I do appreciate that despite all the costs and time I spent to get a solution, in the end, they did solve my problem.

Identifying a HTC clone ... and fixing it.

I recently bought a HTC touch phone and i suspect it is a Chinese clone but i really dont know. They all look the same to me (the phones). After searching Xda it appears to be like the HTC Elf100 and dopod S1. Is there a definitive way to tell the exact model? The phone was purchased from a website called Deal Extreme.
I would like to know if it is possible to extract the ROM from the phone and save it onto my computer for back up.
More importantly (and the reason i am here) is that the screen is malfunctioning in that the colours are all very faded and there are black lines across the length of the screen wherever there is text or icons. There is a severe flicker when the backlight is set to anything other than full brightness. For the first three days the screen was crystal clear and the colours very vibrant. The only changes made were installing some third party softwares and applying a screen protector.
I have uploaded an image here:
http://www.ibj.co.nz/vlt/CamScreen.jpg
I am trying to isolate the problem down to software or hardware. If it is hardware i will order another screen or digitizer and replace it and if it is software i will begin to look down that path, perhaps flashing the unit with more up to date ROM.

Tell us one thing, is the serial number in the following format? -> HTxxxGxxxxx, if Yes you have have original HTC Touch, if No, you have a nice Chinese clone.
If the back of the device underneath the battery looks like attached picture, you have the clone on your hands. you will have to ship it back to DX for replacement or repair.
Regards

Just from looking at the front of your phone, yes you have a clone

Yep CLone
OK Thanks for assistance. I have a clone here. DX offered to send me a replacement screen if i can locate one on their website. I would have thought they would know if they have one in stock but apparently not.
Can anyone think of a way to find what sort of a screen i would need to replace this one? I am told that the original HTC screen will not do, perhaps different pin outs.

Replacement screen
So i guess i am just sh#t out o luck then? The retailers can't find a replacement screen. Can the ridgy didge screen be modified to fit a clone?

Don't know. Since it's a clone they can have used whatever LCD, with whatever flex connector. But one thing for sure is that you wont be able to use original HTC Touch LCD.
Best option is to ship back to DX for replacement.
Regards

Thank you very much, I will look into this one.

screen seems to work fine, installation was not too hard. However, new screen acts little weird, as once phone is off, backlight turns off immediately, but you still can see image for few seconds under normal light, pixels show through, and then it fades away.

Look for an original AUO H380VL01 or HTC Touch HD Sharp matrix... It's reported to be compatible with our phone

cracked screen too

I installed mine today -after 6 months with broken screen- I bought lcd for HTC Touch HD T8282.It is far more cheaper than the acer one and fits perfectly.ebay item 290424248491.

The HD screen is the same of NeoTouch?
I've paid 70€ for a screen for newTouch, but your proposition is more good: 50€!!
Are you sure it's good for Acer? My touchscreen is OK...

Im using it since last friday. its perfect

I received my screen today, but it's difficult to open this mobile phone!
I remove 5 screw on sur back of the phone, but i don't know what remove

There are two more screws at the left and right sides of battery house

i have the same prob.... i dropped my phone and my screen blanked ....and i need another lcd .... i was thinking about what you did.... but if i'll get the HTC one the front of the mobile will be with HTC logo instead of the ACER one ...
right?

screen now fixed
I took my phone in to a local shop and they were able to change out the screen using an HTC HD screen (yes, the exact same screen as the neotouch). All is fine with the screen. They messed up the power button, but that is another story. I watched the guy do this and it seemed like a hell of a lot of intricate work to do yourself. I was happy to pay the $120. Now, I just need to return and get them to redo the power button (installed it incorrectly when putting it all back together).
For those adventurous enough- go for it, but I suggest the cheaper HD screen. And no, only the screen was replaced, which is under the touch screen/digitizer that actually has the acer logo. All looks as it did before.

I took my neotouch for a motocycleride in the rain. It didn't like it too much and now the touchfunction is messed up on parts of the screen. It all displays as it should but I can't use parts of the screen. I should be allright with just replacing the digitizer right? Ebay item Item number: 170518652337

Hi, the same for me.
Touch doesn't work on some area.
Need change digitizer or LCD?

Antenna gps
Hi someone tell me where it's possible to buy a part "gps antenna "?

LCD Screens from HTC Touch HD and HTC Blackstone are working correct. Use these replacements instead of original

Hi,
this didn't work in my case. After replacing my broken original lcd screen with a new lcd display (eBay - No. 120608475783, Original HTC Touch HD LCD Display T8282), I can see that the display is switched on, but it doesn't seem to receive any signal (like you turn on your pc monitor but not the pc). Now I have two questions:
1.) If only the lcd display is broken - should I still see something on the display? Because on my broken display, I only have a black and a white part and some coloured stripes, mostly where the display is broken.
2.) Is it possible that there is something more broken on my NeoTouch or did I simply receive a broken lcd panel? It did fall off the couch, completely flat on the display.
fyi: the new lcd was missing some isolation (on the flexible part with some electrical components) which was present on my original lcd. I used some sticky tape as a replacement because it is directly positioned over some other electrical components on the phone when in place.
New Info:
Everything except from the display seems to be fine - when it is connected to my PC running "My Mobiler". But I have seen pictures of mobiles with a cracked screen whre you were still able to see (partly) the homescreen, etc. On mine, I am not able to see anything while the cracked screen is mounted - only white and black parts and some colored stripes...
Update: The delivered display was broken. Yesterday I received a new one which works perfectly!
many thanks in advance

i'm afraid if wrong order with lcd resolution under wvga,,,

Xperia E stuck pixel?

I recently got an xperia e on orange pay as you go from my local carphone warehouse. Last night i noticed a blue/white spot on the screen. After looking at the screen closely more smailer specs appear when you tilt the device around but this one stays visible throughout. They are especially visible in the dark but not so much in sunlight. Another thing to note is that it only appears on dark backgrounds e.g. black.
I have tried a stuck pixel fixer for about half an hour but to no avail.
Since its only a few days old i thought i could return it to carphone warehouse but dose anyone have experience of doing this. I know, because i got my phone on orange, that i can not just replace it for no reason. However i would like to know would they try to fob me off by saying that they can't see them or saying there needs to be more of them to warrant a return. There are a few other things i could say to get a return. For example the proximity sensor does not work in the diagnostics app and there is "no signal" at my house Its hard to get a picture of it otherwise i would've included one.
So really my question is should i try and return it (in the uk we have pretty strong consumer laws (the sale of goods act)) or should I just ignore it and run the flashing light show for longer.
Thanks
James

You have 6 months to return a product that is faulty and the vendor has to prove that the product wasn't faulty when you purchased it, if they cant then you are allowed your money back, a credit note or an exchange. Take it back and tell them the problem.

[Q] Stuck Pixels on Xperia M2, any way to fix them?

Hello everyone! I've just received my brand new Sony Xperia M2 from PCcomponentes.com, it's the black D2303 version, and everything works like a charm except there are some stuck pixels. They're in the Navigation Bar, near the back button, at the left of it. One is red and the another seems to be green. I've tried some methods to recover them like using some videos on YT that blink very fast, but they're still there. When the nav bar is translucent on the launcher it's difficult to find them, but when opening an app, and when the nav bar goes totally black, they're easily visible... The store where I bought it told me that 2 pixels it's not enough to claim for warranty, and as I received it yesterday I've 13 days left to return it to the store, BUT THEY WON'T CHANGE MY PHONE, they said they were going to check that everything works (BUT THE SCREEN IS FAULTY!), and then they would send money back if everything is OK, and , if I want, buy another one later. As what they told me, this is like returning something that it's fully working, but you don't want to have anymore for some reason, for example, you didn't like it, so it looks like that when they check that the box is open, and that the phone doesn't have any screen protector or back protector, they would not send me any money and they would send back the phone as it is, without being repaired or replacing with a new one...
So, as I'm not going to send it back, is there anyway to fix that by myself? Another screen blink video or software, or another recommendation??
Cheers!
P.S: The manuals were in greek, so it looks like the phone was bought there, maybe thats the reason why they don't want to change it...
