Hey guys n' girls,
I need a few spares for my XDA 2 (these are gonna seem odd, but what the hell); the things i need are:
1. that crappy rubbery cover that goes over the headset jack, i lost mine, i dunno how.
2. The back cover that goes over the battery, i ruined mine, lol. dont ask how!
3. The piece above the battery cover, (the other cover, lol) it covers the camera module/aerial piece and the little circle rubber thing that goes over the external antenna connector.
4. I need a spare battery as well (preferably a higher power/capacity one; does the XDA 2i one work in the XDA 2? if it does then i need an XDA 2i battery)
5. A new Headset, I messed mine up completely!! no joke, i still have it but i dunno how to fix all the wires back together; besides the volume control is messed up, so its not worth putting the wires back together!
6. I also need the volume control switch; the one on the side, i dropped my XDA 2 and the ridges on it got flattened! Bloody trains; the rides are never smooth!
Thas it, if anyone has any or all of these (basically has an XDA 2 which doesnt work at all, and can provide me with these spares, then it will be much appreciated! i know some are weird spares but its urgent and i need them! let me know anyone, i'll obviously pay for the parts!)
Thanks!
Hi hafizur,
You can check out these guys in the U.K.
http://www.siansmobiles.co.uk
They sell the full housing... A bit expensive IMHO, but for a so messed up XDA2 like yours it's well worth it :lol: ...
P.S.- It's amazing to see posts like this left unanswered for so many days!!! :?
I know that not many people know some answers, but I can't believe I'm the only one that knows a place where they sell at least some XDA2 parts...
Oh, well...
P.S2.- It will be nice to know what kind of punishment your XDA2 went through to be in such bad shape!... C'mon, share the complete story!!! :lol:
Good luck!
if anyone can use them, for reasons that i won't bother you all wit, i have a stream of excitingly broken XDA's and silmilar cluttering up my desk, and the pile only gets bigger.
I'm happy to post them to anywhere in the UK gratis, though i probably shan't bother with registered mail - here's what is sitting glaring at me at the moment. NONE OF THEM HAVE BATTERIES - they're too useful to let go, so maybe you want one to experiment with in some foul xda style Frankenstein fashion, or maybe you just want to take one apart, that's quite fun actually if you've had a really bad day in the office.
1) an HTC 3300 - it just won't boot, or even show a charging light. Before it died, it would perform a soft reboot whenever you put the stylus back in the housing
2) 2 XDA IIs's - cracked screens, one from a motorbike accident, and one from being sat on by some one who thought they would keep their XDA safe by covering it if Velcro, which promptly stuck to the back of his big ignorant arse... the rest writes itself
3) an Eten G500 - won't charge, dented screen, and they are **** in the first place. You can have the battery on this one, as they tend to expand with age in an alarming fashion - which is why the back cover is missing.
4) a T mobile Compact III with a crack across the screen, genuine accident, i'm happy to report
5) a Qtek 2020i, a victim of a road rage incident.
First come, first serve, i assume there is some clever soul out here who could do something useful with them, my ONLY condition being that if you get any or some working, you share the wealth as it were, and make sure someone else here gets happy too

yes you did, i will clear it... and you should be a little more gentle on your devices
How much to post the 3300 to Berlin, DE 10405?
Thanks!
did i understand right ? (english not so good...)
you will give away all the broken pda´s for free ?
i need new buttons for my xda 2s, because my buttons doesn´t work.
maybe i will take them.
can you ship to germany ??? (of course i will pay shipping)
blimey, you lot are quick
ok, so there is a Compact III off to Sean, a IIS to wmvfan, and the 3300 to itschase - i'll check postage and so on later today - unless anyone knows how many first class stamps i should use, which would be helpful - and thank you for tidying up shogun
i promise you my XDA (Stellar, at the moment, though i'm constantly torn between that and the Orbit) is loved like a family member. It's an occupational hazard for the ones out on the road. I have one that was run over by a UPS van glued to my stock room door - it looks like something from a cartoon
ok, the postman is here soon - i still need addresses for itschase and Andrew - this leaves me with a IIs and a Qtek - it looks very much as though i will be adding a dead Orbit to the list, which breaks my heart.
Dibs on the Orbit
damn, wouldnt have minded an orbit
I sent you a PM with my address. Is it too late?
Thank you!
well, the current state of play is that i have an XDAIIS and a Qtek 2020i left, though someone has asked for one or the other - there may well be a dead orbit to add to the list, but with this level of interest maybe we should have some sort of competition - i do have your address itsis #thumb#
you dont mess about do you. mines just come through the door!
through the letterbox, rather than letting itself in with the spare keys, i hope.
all p of the s Sean, otherwise they would end up as landfill, so we're being green.
Well if nobody wants the last one you can send me that one also if you like. i wont be selfish and keep it for myself mind. i will try and repair it and then sell it on ebay and then what ever the profit is i will donate to xda-devs. be good to have a mess about with more WM devices
if the xdaiis is still available i would like to have it,i have one here i need a usb/charger connector for
u still got the orbit??
whats wrong with it??
i will send u my address
have you got the xda iis still, i am am intersted, and what is the postahe cost to bradford uk.
Well, let's hit this dead thread...
Do you still have any device left? If so, could you PM me?
Thank you
Do you still have any left? Please let me know if you do by pm me, thanks!
Still some left ?
Thanks
Hi there,
I have a really desperate problem
I've got an Orbit II bought in Germany and I'm not covered by their guarantee here in Moscow. So, I happened to be a very lucky one and the touch screen of my device is faulty - it has a gray stain on it clearly visible on a white background.
I found a replacement screen for the Touch Cruise here but what the technicians discovered yesterday was that the screen was actually the same, but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
Found out one more thing:
Orbit 2 = Polaris 200.
TC = Polaris 100.
Guys, can anyone help me find a source to buy a replacement screen for Orbit 2 in Germany or UK?
Thanks a whole lot in advance!!!
I have posted a request for you over in the german ppc-Welt Forum
Maybe someone gathers some information there. I will keep you updated.

Well, thanks for these links... But I don't want to dismantle anything. I just need to buy the whole touchscreen assy.

But the problem is that the display on the photo is for TC, NOT for Orbit 2
As I said earlier,
but the cord on that TC screen (stub, whatever) sticks out at a different place than on mine!
You see, the cord on this one sticks out in the lower left corner of the screen. But mine is in the middle of the left side.

Interesting because on the posted link,
they state it fits for following devices:
HTC:
Touch Cruise
Polaris
P3650
XDA mini II
O2:
XDA Orbit 2
This would assume, that it is the same for all models
Maybe best is to email them and describe your problem by support form:

If you have changed your display successfull, please post a small how-to.
Too bad... these cnn people seem to be offline and off work.

Did you order one?
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3650-touch-cruise-polaris-c-277_456.html
No, haven't ordered anything yet. But these guys have told me finally that their screen is incompatible with my Orbit but they will try to find one that is
I hope to have news next week.
Will this

be the whole screen or are there two parts (lcd and digitizer).
How do I know, what is broken?
On my device there is a small black spot like ink and a tiny crack from the whole left to right. Display is working fine except the black part, the touchscreen works everywhere.
What parts do I need?
Thank you
JueLue
Well, I was informed by those technicians who disassembled my device that I needed the whole screen. That's the only thing I know.
So, I can't help you here.
I have a dent\scratch in the housing, and multiple scratches on my screen
I'm actually thinking about selling my TC, cause of all the issues, etc.
I wonder if it's worth it to buy the housing and screen replacements...hm
I'm gonna wait until someone here has successfully used one of those kits and successfully dismantled the device.
Knowing me, I would definately destroy it without reading a how-to from someone who has actually done this before
Hello Dimitry N!
Have you got some news for us? Did you get a new LCD screen? And how to replace? Many questions....
I got myself a TC instead.
The Orbit 2 has a Samsung (!!!) touch screen, which is a real piece of ****.
The one on the TC really does have the viewing angle of 180 degrees, as it was advertised.
The Orbit 2's screen - no. When you look at it from the "top", the image on the screen darkens a lot, and vice versa. And the image on the TC screen is a lot crisper! I can tell this by holding the 2 devices together right now!
What a pity! O2 decided to include some nice accessories like the car charger and the car holder, and saved on the screen instead!
So, I will sell my Orbit 2!
Sorry to start up a SAD SDA topic but it has to be done...
I thought I'd be smart and pick up a broken screen "tornado" SDA from Ebay like some of us have already done. Got it, hooked up to usb cables and my activesync 4.5 picked it right up, allowing me to explore the file system and even browse some naughty pics (oops) that the previous owners had left on there. Ok, seemed to work, could make a phone call with my sim card etc...even without being able to see past the cracked LCD screen.
Next step was to buy a replacement screen, for which I am sure you all have seen the "2125 screen" that is the exact model as a Tmobile LCD. I replaced this and prayed for the best.
The best didn't happen. I got a nasty all white screen and got upset....then recheced the ribbon cable connections and they were appropriately installed.
Same thing over and over. WTF?
I have SOTI pocket controller professional. For those who don't know what this is, it allows remote viewing of the little screen on your PPC phone or Smartphone on your Desktop or Laptop computer's monitor.
It is great for the purpose of checking functionality of a "broken LCD" phone. Everything worked fine on the virtual screen! I even UNLOCKED and SUPER CIDed the darn thing and have reflashed original OS from TMO just to be sure.
WHY ON GOD's green earth can I not get a working display on this thing UNLESS of course, I got ripped off by the ebay vendor. (who never sent me a replacement envelope as promised to swap out and send this one back)
Just venting but seriously, DOES anyone have a solution.
It is not a dead phone, bricked, wrong operating system, or any of the other posited theories here. The screen is just inexplicably white and properly connected. HELP.
Thanks.
I am an MDA owner and just dabble in this SDA thing.
I would love this nice little phone to work..if not, I have a brand new housing, a possibly working screeen (with another phone) and lots of parts for someone..hint hint.

Hey mate, don't loose your faith!!! Redo the connection. The same thing happend to me, and I swore I had pluged that flat connector correctly into the socket and I didn't. Wiggle it, you can't enter it straight in, it has to slide in on an angle. Look at the one you removed. Look at the mark left by the "YELLOW TAPE" that holds the ribbon inside the slot. It will tell you how far in it has to go. Also, there are 2 other contacts that have to be in the propper position. One makes contact between the back plate of the LCD and a mesh looking spot where it sits. It has to sit in place so you have the "ground" on the LCD. If you need, I can put apart my phone and take a close picture and post it for you so you can see what Im talking about. But I'm pretty sure that your problem is just the ribbon not being in all the way. There are 2 sets of connections inside the socket. If the ribbon isn't all the way in, only the 1rst set will make contact, LCD will light up, but, no image. Good Luck and I do hope its as I say. Please let me know here or on PM if you need some pictures.

Thank you for this insightful and confident reply!
I am certain that it will be quite useful to a Tornado user with this problem in general. The screen I got must be defective (too late to return) because this advice above should be the perfect solution.
Didn't work for me though but It is very nice for someone to put the effort into posting in such a manner.
Kudos to a valuable member of our community!
I might fool around and pick up another used T-mobile SDA and pray that I can get one working properly. If this screen works on that one, I guess I bought an ebay dud (masked by the broken screen).
Yes, this phone is getting dated but I really wanted to experiment with new ROMS and push it as far as it could go.

Hi Folks,
will i be able to buy any replacement battery covers for my mda compact 4 ?
or will i be able to the ones from the HTC Victor or the Version from the US Providers like Sprint ?
Though I like the shape of the mda the color of the back is extremely ugly(sort of greyish).
I wished it would look more like that
http://www.slashphone.com/htc-touch-diamond-comes-in-different-variant-28549
can i use those with my phone? 'cause i heard the back cover from the O2 xda are not compatible with the original htc covers.
greetz
looks very nice, i'd be interested in this too
No. this doesnt do it for me. i like the whole diamond thing, this just looks like a normal phone,nothing special. The diamond just looks different,especially the back with its diamond shapes. Thats one of the design things i like most.
But i dont find the P3702 ugly
it looks like a different d pad. what do you guys think?
the scrolling wheel does stand out a bit. not even with the other buttons like on the diamond.
but can someone please answer my question and not discuss if they like the design or not
by the way,htckaiseruser, the diamond looks better to me to, but the mda lies way better in the hand (is that only german saying?). the feel to is much better, you dont have all the fingerprints on the back and you can lie it down table, without it wabbelin back and forth
