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!
mike
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:
all the best

Hello NeCrOpHiLiCaT
I see your post is some time ago but maybe I have some luck.
I need complete housing for xdaII,but maybe for precautions I'll buy some other parts or maybe all your xda2.just tell if is still available.
Still got the cradle?
Hi,
I am also interested in the cradle, do you still have it? Thank you.

Hi I'm interested in you mainboard with speaker . Do you still have them?
I bought this on amazon for a tenner and had it delivered yesterday. even though it was advertised as a pouch specifically for the DHD, it doesnt quite work. for size its fine, but at the bottom theres a strap of leather which covers up the headphone and micro-usb socket. so if you're planning on using the DHD regularly to listen to music, you've been warned!

Can't you put your phone in with the power button side going in first?

i bought this case as well, and i think it is fantastic, if you need to charge or listen to music, just put it in the other way!
the only warning is how excellent the quality is for a tenner!
yeah i can, but i'm pretty sure i'd read either on amazon or HTCs accessory site that you can access the power button and headphone sockets through the case. nothing about one or the other! besides its just easier to have it inserted the 'right way' round as you can pull the phone out just a bit and turn it on to check the time, notification bar, etc. and even upside down you still cant hit the power button from the bottom of the case.
you're right though, it is a workaround, i was just a little disappointed as all they needed to do was put two smaller leather strips at the bottom instead of one big one blocking the sockets.

from being on this forum and seeing how ridiculously picky the people are here, they would have then complained it wasnt holding the bottom of the phone strongly enough and it would fall out!
lol! i dont think i'm being that picky though, am i? its like buying a tshirt with no sleeves. sure you can get it on, but it kinda defeats the purpose!

its just, when i look around the forum, there seems to be some really silly things that have been made into mountains from molehills:
slight gaps above screen that you can barely see
slight gaps with the sim cover
people being too rough and breaking their sim cover
people want more led colours
etc etc
to be fair that sim card cover is flimsy cheap crap, and i dont want a flimsy cheap piece of crap attached to my £500 phone. if i wanted that i would have got a galaxy s.
but back on topic, why do you need access to the power buttom when its in the case anyway? and why can you not reach around the strap to touch the power button?
By the way one question
This pouch has a sleeve that is used to take out the DHD from the pouch it self.
When you put or take the pouch from your pants pocket, does the sleeve comes out accidentally ?

this "sleeve" you refer to is just a piece of ribbon attached to the pouch which the phone rides on when you putt the ribbon and takes the phone out the case. No, it doesnt get pulled accidently when you take it our of your pocket

nope. however if you want to be really really critical i would say the ribbon is around 1/4 inch too long and dangles loose when the phone is fully inserted. its one of those tiny things i notice but by no means a deal breaker.

the strap at the bottom is too big and you cant see the power button at all, but thats not really going to help me. what i meant to say was, when i want to check the time for example, i dont want to pull the phone completely out of the case. so instead i can pull the ribbon, press the powerbutton, and check the time (along with checking for messages, missed calls, etc). but theres no way of doing that without taking the phone out completely if it is inserted upside down.
now, after writing all that i can see myself how ridiculously fussy i'm being! i do like the case, it does the job just fine and i dont feel the need to return it. (although i might try and drill a hole through the leather strap to slot in my headphones )
Any decent cobbler's / leatherworker's will have a drive punch which will make a much better job of modding your case. Offer them a couple of $localcurrency for the trouble, I'm sure you'll be happy with the result
I haven't seen any posts for DHD in regards to this and since this barnd is the most advertised and most positive-commented, I'd like to add my negative comments so that everyone is aware.
First of all, before I bought it, I've read the best comments about it as being the best choice. For me, it was the worst product I could buy and at such a high price which cannot be explained. This is why:
1) Hard to slide in and once in its place, the phone is so firmly fixed in the holder that you need tools to remove it. I always end up fighting with it to get out and the result is that always the sim cover gets off and stays fixed in the holder. The sides of the phone also start showing wear/scratch signs. This is the most unacceptable problem for a priduct of that price.
2) The provided proclip (special mount for specific car model) for one of my cars doesn't stay fixed on my car. It is so long and so thin and its corners are so badly aligned that even the adhesives don't come in contact with the console plastic and each time I try to take my phone off the holder, the whole mount comes off. With my other car for which the mount is smaller, it's ok bad still unacceptable for the price I paid overall.
Having read this, don't buy this product.
Thats a pity; I've been using a generic suction-cup mount in my car but was planning on purchasing a Brodit as I'd had no problems with the previous one I had for my Touch Pro 2.
I had a similar problem with the car mount half of it; it was supposed to mount over the air vent but would 'slip-off' if you hit a bump on the road. I fixed this with a heat gun, bending the mount to give it a firmer grip.
If the Brodit mount is a bad idea for the Desire HD, can anyone recommend a better option for the car than a clunky generic plastic lump I've got attached to my windscreen?
I bought a Brodit Active Holder for my DHD and I've had no problems fitting and removing the phone from it. If anything, when I slot the phone into place, there is a bit of a gap between the bottom of the phone and the holder so you can see part of the cable connector has not fully gone into the phone. Still charges though, just looks a bit irritating.
Other than that Im pleased with it, no fit or removal problems whatsoever

Where have you bought it from? because I received a message today from the Swedish manufacturer who admit this as a problem with some of their stock.

Sorry to hear that, you were unlucky. I bought mine off eBay Uk last week. It was a Uk seller called drivesafeandlegal2. I dont have enough posts to post a link unfortunately. I done a search under 'brodit desire hd'
Free delivery and package arrived in a couple of days.
For those who bought the Brodit carholder and its to tide ( like antenna cover gets stuck) you can solve it.
Take sandpaper with a very tiny grain and start sanding the edges of the sides. Make the sharp edges round and sand it with some water so that the surface and edges gets smooth ( even more smooth then original).
After this is done you don't see a difference in color or you don't mess up your holder as long the sandpaper is a P400 or lower and apply water in the end.
Mine looks like new and phone slides in without pushing until it reach the usb port.
No fuss with antenna cover and much more safe scratching your phone.
This is just kinda a review of this case. I got it about a month ago off of eBay for $3.70. It was shipping from Hong-Kong, so it took almost a month to get here. It is titled "hard rubber" but its pretty much plastic with a slightly rubbery feel. It has all of the right holes for the mic, light sensor, speaker, all of that stuff. I don't think that it will protect the phone that much from drops because of the Z hinge, but definitely from scratches. The rubberiness gives you a good grip on the phone in you hand, but doesn't get stuck in pockets. When the phone is open, the case doesn't get in the way of the keyboard at all.
What I don't like about this case is that its not very removable. Its pretty much impossible to take the case off without breaking the clips that secure it. Now three of the four clips that secure the back part have broken off of mine, just because I had to access my SD. It still stays on, just kinda wobbly.
I would recommend this case, just because it's so cheap. If you need to get to the battery door, I would recommend buying a few extras so you don't have to wait for a new one to arrive if you break the back like I did. Here is a link to one on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Hard-Rubb...Accessories&hash=item2c5b6e8929#ht_2248wt_936 Its not from the same seller that I got mine from, but this this seller is in the USA so the shipping will be faster and it is cheaper.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for repairing the clips I would appreciate it.
I don't really post as much on here as i used to when i had my touch pro 2 but i just thought i'd help some people out who where looking for some accessories for their new toys. After paying $500 for this, as i used to upgrade for a hd7, i knew i had to get the best products to make my phone better. And before anybody asks i'm not affiliated in any way with any of the companies whose products i will be discussing.
1. GadgetShieldz Full Body Screen Protector
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-sensation-4g-skins-screen-protectors-covers-cases-shields.html
I have tried random cheap screen protectors, zagg screen protectors and this. The zagg screen protector was too rubbery for me to even swipe my finger across it. I've been using gadgetshieldz on my past 4 htc devices starting with the touch pro and these are by far the best i've used. Not many air bubbles if you apply it correctly and the few that do come up with be gone within a day. And the best part about these screen protectors are that it only cost $6.99 for a full body case.
2. Anker 1900mAh Extended Battery
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809453541&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I've been using this battery for about a week now. Compared to the oem battery it does have a better battery life. I have not really tried to see how old it lasted but in the settings it said that the last cycle held 11 hours and 40 minutes before it died. I have had it die on me a few times because i don't charge it a lot but that's been intentionally to let it die from reading around about lithium batteries. It also does not get as got as the original oem battery which i like the most. I plan on getting a few more of these next month.

This doesn't even need much explination. Everyone likes to have more memory. I put a 32gb card in my hd7 as i thought i was going to keep it and i knew i needed one for the sensation too. I am one of those people that downloads a lot of apps plus i wanted space for music and videos. The speeds on this card are pretty face. I get an average speed using teracopy of 18 to 20mb/s. That's a lot faster than my class 2 card that came with my hd7.
4. Aluminum Metal Case for HTC Sensation 4G Z710e
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11001246&products_id=33051
I think this company used to be called monaco as they make the same exact cases as monaco did. I bought my first monaco metal case for my tp2 when i found out about it on here and haven't looked back since. I always purchase these metal cases because they protect my phone in case of falls and i can use the phone which it is in the case. It has cut outs for all the ports. I think this is for the sensation unlocked because all the other metal cases i got from them have cut outs for the logos but the phone still fits none the less. What i like the most about this case is with the clip attached i can lay it on it's side and it would be like a kickstand because it can be used in landscape mode when watching a movie. Also you can use the case with the car mount that i will talk about next
5. Car Mount for PDair Aluminum Metal Case
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11001246&products_id=30009
This is a car mount that can be used with the case that i just mentioned previously. So you can attach it without taking the phone out of the case. This works great when using it for navigation. The car mount comes with the windshield cup, the holder that attaches to it and a clip holder for the case. The aluminum case comes with a round clip that screws into the back for the belt holder. This one comes with another clip that has an octagon shape that allows you to place it into the car mount so that it will stay at the angle you place it. I always super glue this clip mount to the case so it does not get unscrewed. I have no reason for the one that comes with the case as this works with the belt holder as well. The car holder cost $12
6. Logitech s120 computer speakers
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220814003710&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I got these for 2 reasons. My main reason was the obvious which was for music purposes. Since i've gotten this phone i've been listening to pandora and i also have a nice amount of music on my phone. The second reason was to use it as a speaker. I've never really had to use it as i'm content, not happy, but content with the volume of the speaker on the sensation although i liked the hd2's speaker better. These speakers have served good my all general purposes. Plus for $12 it'll work nice when listening to music with friends.
7. Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

I bought these a few months ago when i had my hd2 or hd7, can't remember but anyways i got them to replace my logitech freepulse headphones as the cushioning on them started to come off. I also wanted bluetooth headphones that i could also use as a headset to talk through. These work perfect for both intentions. The music sounds crisp and i have never gotten a complaint when talking to someone with them. I chose these over the s10s because of the reviews between the two. I paid $60 when i got mine but you can get them for $45 now.
8. Motorola T505 Bluetooth Portable In-Car Speakerphone
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-T505-Bluetooth-Portable-Speakerphone/dp/B0030BZ7HM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311962000&sr=8-1
I have had this for a few years now. I used to have the t305 but i upgraded to this. The sound quality is pretty nice and audible even when your driving with the window down. I like this speaker because it actually annouces the number of the person that is calling you.
If i have time i will take pictures of these items and post them on here. I hope that i helped someone out who is trying to find the perfect accessories.

For me I like #4 and #5, the aluminum cases with belt clip. Looks a bit bulky for my taste but looks different. Kudos for that but I prefer the leather universal case I have and the Mobi red case that fits together nicely. But that car mount is really cool though. Thanks for the alternatives!
