[Q] Need a phone - General Questions and Answers

My old TP2 is about to die on me, has a blueish screen from water, bad speaker and camera from water, dents and scratches in screen, and over-heats frequently
I'm just wondering if somebody on XDA would be kind enough to donate a phone to me? Any old used phone is ok, I just need something else, as my TP2 doesn't have much life in it anymore, but it was great while it lasted!
PM or post here if you can help me out, I would really really appreciate it, thanks.

Don't beg, get your lazy ass out and start earning.

I NEED SPARE PARTS FOR XDA II!! Someone help me PLSS!

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.

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!

free but broken

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

How to Unroot HTC Legend...?

Hi guys,
so few hours ago, being the idiot I obviously am, I forgot my Legend outside on my deck, and tonight, mother nature also decided to teach me a cruel lesson and shed rain on top of my poor now damaged Legend. So far I can't do much to the phone, but I do still have my warranty with HTC, but the problem is, it's rooted and I need to know if there's anyway to unroot it right now being in the system it is? The trackpad still works, touch screen however, is now messed up and swipes down for the notification icon whenever I swipe sideways though. Feel free to criticize me. I think I deserve quite a bit of it.
Oops wrong sections. Sorry. Please ignore.

[Q] Black Screen after getting "hit/banged" by my youngest...

I've been a member for quite a while, but don't think I've ever posted so please take it easy on me . I bought my husband a MyTouch 4g Slide and liked it, so I bought myself one (both used from Ebay). With my husbands, we had the black screen occasionally. I did some research and with a quick fix of the cover blocking something and switching it around - :victory:**** all set.
Mine (still running original software was running fine. Well, my youngest of 5 kids was apparently playing a game and got frustrated because it kept freezing or something and hit or banged the screen from what he told me -----
Anyway, when he gave me the phone it was this kind of white/reddish fuzzy looking color. I turned it off and tried to reboot. (yes, I've pulled the battery) and aside from the tiny little red light (LED) or the small green one in the same corner OCCASIONALLY coming on and an occasional vibration at that time - NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH....
On the good side, I didn't totally lose it and start screeming at him .... on the bad side, I have a phone I just bought (and like) and can't use it. I know that it might be a just toss and rebuy, but before I do, is there something we can replace (digitalizer/screen/etc)??
You guys up here are amazing and it's the first place I think to come for any of the phones we've had (HTC, MyTouch, SideKick) and I'm so thankful for the site. I figured if I was going to get right to the point and get a straight up answer, without getting scammed, this is the place.... sooooo, anything is better than nothing! Thanks!
Hello. Sounds to me like the LCD screen blew out. They blow out easily from being banged around pretty hard, especially on this particular phone. If the light turns on, then the phone is still alive. If it vibrates as well, then it's definitely still good, as the system is obviously still running. You should try replacing the LCD screen. If you've never done this type of thing, then I'll tell you this... it won't be very easy at all. HTC put so much damn adhesive all over this phone, it's ridiculous. They even glued the LCD to the digitizer, & really tight too.
If you try to do it yourself, or have someone do it for you, be very careful. You can get screens for cheap on ebay, but it may be troublesome to get it done. It's also hard to put them together while preventing dust from getting in there as well. Lint-free micro fiber rags, & maybe a hand air pump, will be very helpful to have around. You can see disassembly videos & tutorials online, like from repairsuniverse.

Thanks so much!! My husband and son "TINKER" with things like this....mostly bigger stuff like cars and all ... LOL... but lately a little bit with our laptops/psp type stuff. However, if I could find someone who does this a lot and it wasn't too expensive, that would probably be easier, especially with all the kids around here . Any idea where I could search for a reputable person (ebay, etc???). Also, when you say LCD, that would be like the ones I've seen on ebay that say LCD with digitalizer....right?? I really appreciate the info. I was hoping it might be something like that, something at least "possible". You rock. I'll let you know how it turns out.
it is a pain! and yeah it does sound like the lcd needs to be changed out, careful now because there are multiple lcds that htc used and they arent compatible, i would suggest opening it up first and then seeing which one to order
HERE IS SOME INSIGHT if you look to the third page or so you can see my experience with this phone. if you have someone who likes to tinker give them the project, as much of a pain as it is... its not too bad still i will suggest having them do a little research first though
good luck!

To have someone do it, I think it'd probably be best to search locally for a repair shop. If you live anywhere near a big city, they probably have some cell phone repair shops around that would be able to do it for you. Even check craigslist.
As for the screen itself, there are 2 parts. There is the LCD screen, or the actual TV screen itself, & there is a sheet of glass placed on top of it. That sheet of glass is called the digitizer. It is what senses your touch. The manufacturers seems to love gluing them together nowadays. Not like the myTouch 3G Slide which was not glued together & was so easy to take apart & deal with. But yeah, the LCD is the actual TV screen. That's what you likely need to change.
