i have 2 spare xda 11 one is blocked and the other the screen is bugged up.
i want to change the screens so at least i have one phone working how do i fix or undo screen parts thanku someone please help dont want to buy another screen when i have 2 the same
Yo dude, the best thing to do would be to take the screen from the phone thats blocked n(coz no matter what, you'll never be able to use that phone anyway!!) and fix it into the one with the broken screen. If you do a search here, there are guides to taking apart an XDA II, and as long as you haven't got 10 thumbs, it should be fairly easy to do!!!
I've done this myself so I know it works, but the only thing you need to be wary of is there are two models of screen, just hope that both phones have the same model installed otherwise It could get a little more complicated!!

Replacing the screen
I am in a similar situation, I have an XDA2 with a broken screen and another one with a damaged bottom connector. I pulled them both apart to put the good screen into the one with a good mother board but to me the screen connector (the one that plug into the mother board) they look different. Just wondering if anybody has come across this. Cheers, Guito
I'm convinced that the screen is slightly out of calibration - but I can see no way to reset the calibration. (I'm ex WinMo!) - it must be in there somewhere - or do i need "an app for that".
Advice appreciated

I was also thinking this. Unfortunately I still have not bought the phone yet, or I would of tried creating an app to test this theory. If a touch can be captured in x/y data, we could see what the problem is with the bottom row keys.

The more I use the phone, I'm starting 2 think that the screen is not so much out of calibration, but is very sensitive 2 the angle that U touch the screen. when I use 2 hands 2 use the phone, It seems 2 always respond correctly
cause my finger is touching straight down, but if I use 1 hand and try 2 reach
across the it responds off a lil at times. 2 solve this I put the phone 2 the end of my
fingers and secure it as far from my thumb as possible. awkward at first 4 me be it responds correctly when I do. Hope this is clear and helps U. I do have big hands though.

I might know what you are talking about. At times I can't slide home screens when using the phone with one hand and it can get very annoying, but I blame myself rather than this wonderful phone.
I also remember my wife using the phone while it was flat on the desk and it would not respond properly, but as soon as it was picked up and did the same procedures it would work properly. We were thinking that It may have something to do with the angle of the phone and our fingers on the screen. Dont really know I just know how to get it working.
Have you guys rooted and enabled multi-touch?
If not, are you sure this isn't to do with the lack of multi-touch. On my N1 I have the same problem when using it with one hand. And I've noticed it's because part of my palm sometimes touches the screen as I'm holding the phone. As theres no multi-touch it won't register what I'm selecting with my thumb until my palm stops touching the screen.
At first I suspected it was an issue with the screen responsiveness/calibration aswell. Because as you try and tap with your thumb a few times, eventually you move your palm and it works.
However, then I took a closer look everytime it happened, and noticed part of my palm was always touching the screen.
Obviously this doesn't happen when you use two hands as usually you will then hold the phone with your fingertips, not by wrapping your hand around it.

Dude, thanks for using your first post on us.
I think you are correct about the palm touching the screen. I have rooted and installed the modaco custom ROM, but I have not installed anything else for multi-touch. I will definitely look into this, thanks.

No problem.
Coming from an iPhone it was not something I ever thought about, so was quite releaved when I figured out why it was happening.
Was on here looking for widgets when I spotted this so thought I'd register and save you scratching your head trying to figure it out like I did.
Lots of stuff to love about the phone, especially the battery life which I'm really impressed with and hadn't even expected to be a plus point over the 3GS. This was just supposed to be a stop gap until the iPhone 4G, but I'm actually thinking I may stick with it now

If you stick with it then welcome to android.
If you don't then you just need to have fun with this phone.
I've been finding ways around the major niggles I had over the last couple of weeks. So it's looking promising that I won't be splashing out for another iPhone in June/July.
It helps that my brother has one and I've had some time to play with it and get everything the way I want it. Which is part of the reason I got it now. If it had been during a really busy period (work wise), i'd probably be back on the 3GS.
Hi,
I Have to use sign in sheets whenever I visit a site at work. I have to get a time in and a signature. I'd rather do it all on the phone rather than carry a sheet of paper around. Can a stylus be used in word, or is there an app which will allow me to do this?
Someone must know if there is some kind of app that can do this. this would really help me out.
not a normal stylus
The normal stylus will not work. you would have to buy 1 like this: http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-60807.html
The HD2 has a capasitive screen so the normal stylus will not work. And I dont believe u can draw in word however if you use the note pad you can do both type and draw.
Here is a question. Anyone have a good way of attaching their stylus pen to their device so that you do not lose it? I'm thinking like via fishing line or something. Preferably a Touch Pro 2. I have been really good with not misplacing it but my girlfriend misplaced it at my mother's house. Luckily my mother has found it and i will go grab it when i get a chance but i would like to prevent this in the future.
Hi i want to buy a vetizon galaxy s3 but the screen is broken. Pretty Bad the bezel\lcd cover is missing a huge chunk in the corner.
