Can you replace the screen and front plate?

Ouch
Had this once with my universal, had to pay 170 ,- € to fix that.
My wife could´nt understand why i had to repair it instead of buying a new phone.
They will never understand our addicting hobby! Hobby? Passion! Destiny!

Dang that hurts me looking at it. Is there a writeup on screen replacement on this yet?

here is the service manual:

whoa! thats bad ...

its touch pro breaking season or something, how did this happen?

My condolences.

I have a busted Touch Pro that with a good screen...the phone was run over by a car. Kind of mangled but powers on, cant make calls, everything else works but stuck in landscape. Funny thing is that the screen is flawless while everything else is about shot

same here man, got ran over by a car, everything worked except the lcd panel, i swear those Digitizers are strong or something cause they dont seem to crack or stop functioning easily

damn!! feel sorry for you man. claim your insurance... if you had any that is in the 1st place!

Yep, it's gone for insurance-repair.
How this happend? Just took it out of my pocket when I was in a bar and noticed the screen was cracked. It still could be an assasination

Unexplainable things happen to me when I'm in a pub too!

How is that funny? Unless it's not yours?
I'm a bit surprised some TP's survived car run-overs. I think it's worth the fix if it costs $150+ to fix when a new one is over twice as much.

oh jeez, do you keep the screen facing towards your leg when it's in your pocket? i usually keep it faced towards my leg now because my old phone cracked after hitting the edge of a table.

I don't really pay attention to which way it is facing, specially when i'm in a bar, being a bit intoxicated

I had the same porblem except my screen was not cracked. I had the same lines even though they were not so bright. So i sent my phone intor HTC for warranty repair and suprisingly they fixed it for free and sent it back to me just 3 days ago.

[Photos] When you REALLY want to show off...

So I've decided that, as I've gotten a few comments already, I wanted to start a thread related to showing off your device. Take a moment, grab a camera, and take a shot or two of your device(s). Right now, I've only got my phones and primary phone accessories included (I count my GSM Datacards as part of the accessories). Not sure how many of you will throw your list in, but I'm welcoming you all to it. Hopefully, I haven't missed this somewhere else...
As you can no doubt tell, I've got some wear and tear on my devices...

nice collection of toys you've got there

Show me yours... I showed you mine... uh...wait..that sounded uhm...dirty....

Are the slides on all those pretty much still tight?

I'll show you who's boss in a couple of days

None of them slide without me telling them to, if that's what you're asking. Each one will go to its regular sliding spot, stop, and hold until pressure (I'd say regular pressure, not just a tap, but actual pressure) is applied to push it back. I didn't have the Wizards when I started, so I can't speak for them. The Tytn and Kaiser I had from day one, both work just as well as they did then.. I do notice a bit more of an overhang to the opposite side (i.e. when it's in, it hangs a bit more than it should, but nothing overly noticeable).

Heres' my set:
Top Row:
-left: HTC Handomium (made it in Ceramics, not yet released )
-right: Motorola S9HD
Middle Row from left to right:
-ATT Tilt, Cingular 8525, ATT Fuze, Cingular 8525 (bricked radio), HTC Universal
Bottom Row:
-left: HP Jornada 567
-right: Motorola S9 (going back)

Here is my stash. I didn't include my iPhone, I felt dirty putting it up there with the windows mobile stuff, but I threw my touch in it.

I should have put my blue angel in there along with my curve. Damn I have too many old phones and stuff. If anyone wants all that I'll trade everything there (except the touch ) for a touch pro that is in great shape with no problem

^^ isn't that the iPhone in the red condom anyways?

He said it was his Touch and good decision in not putting the iPhone in there
You'll trade all 7 devices for a Touch Pro?

I'll take everything there + the Blue Angel and Curve. I'll go get a BNIB Fuze/Touch Pro for you. Come to Georgia we can do the transaction in person.

Bah.. Looked again.. Most of those are CDMA. I wont do that... :-(

My collection is no worth to include here... just Universal and S621

I want your Universal... Show us photos anyway!

Reviving a thread.. now show us your boo..ermm..phones

What phone to buy

Hi boys and girls!
I was planning on buying the new Diamond 2 as soon as it hit the shelves here in Norway, but as HTC still thinks I should pay for the repair of an USB port which was DOA I have decided to try to find some other phone...
So - anyone have any good suggestions?
Cheers!

Nokia 5110
I prefer the lime green casing myself, but that is personal preference, as is selecting a device or a type of wine.

@ Red: Thanks for the suggestion, but I find it too small for my liking. My three "musts" are:
1. The handset need to be sturdy. If i forget my hammer, I need something to hit other drivers with.
2. Must come with its own backpack, and the fabric must be washable.
3. I sometimes use the phone in my care, so the top part must be possible to detach from the battery. There just isn't space in my estate car to have the battery in the front.
My best bet til now is this model:

haha great response. With all honesty go with something a bit inexpensive in the meantime if you are waiting for TP2 to be released in your country.

Actually, I'd rather go for something NOT from HTC...

Go for Touch Pro 2 or Toshiba TG01

Or buy the new HTC Touch HD ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Will have to have a look at the Toshiba. As for HTC, I'd really like to stuff the aforementioned phone (the Ericsson) somewhere the sun don't shine. Unfortunately, I think I will have to use "most people" as a baseline for sun-exposure, as I have a feeling these guys (?) do a lot of "work" on all fours

I understand your reluctance to get a HTC again I for one have a HD which is actually really good although when i first brought one it had 3 dead pixels and although htc wouldnt replace it the shop i brought it from would, now after 3 months or so my replacement has just developed a stuck pixel which I have never seen before I've has so many products with lcd screens and worked in a shop for a bit that sold them and only ever seen them come with a dead/stuck pixel. its not really noticeable but very annoying considering the price of the phone. So I was thinking thats the last time i buy a htc but then I realized there isn't any 1 else who makes anything near as good in terms of features and looks.

my first choice would be the hd

go for the HD or a super processor snapdragon on the Toshiba TG01

Bluetooth car Dock-Parrot Minikit-NICE! Will it work?

Has anybody tried this vehicle bluetooth dock? Looks pretty bad ass and would work with future phones. Maybe this could be my last dock for a while? Just wondering about the volume rocker on the sensation. Looks like accessing the charging port might not be an issue.
Looks well made and not really a bad price when you price the official sensation dock (that doesnt have bluetooth)
What do you think?

That's a good price, was looking at that but was expensive, better the the OEM dock.. Parrot is a good Bluetooth brand, and it should work, don't see why it wouldnt...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Looking at the pics makes me miss my n1 a little lol...
But personally I have never used parrot, but looks like a good alternative. But this tread reminded me about my BlueAnt S4 that I have stashed away because it didn't play well with my Nexus one with MIUI.

Just ordered it along with a sonos s5 zone player and zone bridge.. gotta love wireless

That product screams "Break into this car and steal me... im worth it"

Yes the wonderful N1. I ordered a new one from ebay for $250 bout a week or so ago, gave my original to my girl when i got the EVO 4G. It looks like the senation may spend a few days down being replaced so the N1 will make a nice back-up.

Bump... Its hard to believe nobody has tried one of these...on any phone? mine has shipped so it wont be long now

Sensation - Back cover poor quality, tarnish

Hi folks,
I've had my Sensation for 3 days tops and something has happened to the back cover. It doesn't wipe off, have absolutely no idea what caused this.
Pretty poor considering it's two days old and treated with kid gloves, couldn't have looked after this phone more if I tried. Crazy.
My GS2 is still prestine, not a mark or scuff anywhere.

ive had the exact same problem, treated phone with super care. i sent it in last tuesday because of this... makes no sense :<

Nothing like that on either of my two back covers. I'd get it exchanged.

ffs... you had to send the entire phone back?
I've changed roms and allsorts already.

Yeah I'd ask HTC to supply you a new one, not acceptable really. Probably only a minor problem on a select new units because the build quality is usually top notch.

I've emailed HTC via the customer service channels on their site and attached a pic. See how it goes. Sending the entire phone back would be ridiculous. Cost them more in shipping, hassle and man hours.

I had a similar issue I think with my original cover. I had it less than 10 days, always on micro cloth etc. and I had a spot in the back cover. Of course everyone here will tell you it is something you are doing wrong but I handle my phones with the greatest care and always get top dollar for resale.
In the End HTC sent me a new cover and I have not had anymore problems so far, knock on wood..

T-Mobile have said I would need to replace the whole handset if I go through them. I hope HTC have a better answer, got it setup how I like, the battery is warmed up and broken in nicely too.

i sent it back rooted with a custom rom and all that ish to my carrier, wasnt still going to waste time going to stock,. Tried going through htc first to see if they could just send me a new cover, but they fail in south africa :/
