Hi All, I have an HTC touch Diamond 2 which I use every day for work, its getting a bit old now and would like to replace it.
I need something that I can draw floor plans on using a stylus, currently using Vectorsoft draw, and also needs to be able to use Excel as well.
I have looked at many devices and cant seem to find something that will do what the HTC does but I could do with a bigger screen.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I have been looking around here and found that there are phone pads around but that they all seem to be made for phones with a horizontal display as well, such as the HTC Touch. I have an Orbit, which is just the vertical display, and when i downloaded some of the intellipads etc, they are to big for the screen and i am missing half the buttons because of this. does anyone know where i can get one for something like the Orbit. Its such a pain knowing that its out there but i cannot find it!!
Hey guys,
I have a 750 but the touch function doesn't work anymore. There was a period it did work suddenly, but then it failed me again, anyways... I used this treo (because of the housing, which isn't in a fine state anymore) for jogging / running etc. Anyways, I did a hard reset and hoped it will function again, but it didn't. So now i'm stuck with a treo with no touch function and no running WM.
Do any of you know which rom I could use for a situation like this (it doesn't matter which version)
Also, this 'older one' was bought a couple of months later than the one I use now (which was also bought 2 year ago, but my mum never used it). Anyways, the 'older one' seems a bit firmer than the newer one. The screen does not make a "kgg kgg" like sound if you touch it with your fingers and the jack seems to hold the plug a bit stronger. Do you guys now if this is because it's a different version, or is it because my screen is a bit loose and just bad luck with the jack?
Thanks very much in advance!
Here's my situation. I have an old laptop that, for a fun, little project, I am going to disassemble, upgrade and mold a case to make it a touch screen windows 8 tablet. The problem I have is that I cannot, for the life of me, find just one touch screen (either resistive or capacitive) overlay. Everything I find is a minimum order deal. I'm looking for something to fit the 15.6 display I already have.
Also I'm open to suggestions for any cool ideas while I make the tablet itself.

You might want to look into buying a touch screen, as opposed to a digitizer you'd put on top of an existing LCD. Windows 8 makes use of gestures coming in from the bezel, so ideally the touch-sensitive portion and the bezel would be flush.
Also, this should probably be posted in the section for desktops and laptops, and not here.

That's a good call, do you have any idea where I could find a decent one?
Also sorry about that, this was actually already moved once by a moderator.

ill have some links for you in a sec, i bought a whole bunch of touch screens, theres also a bunch of them on ebay, like alot, i bought a few there too
http://www.elotouch.com/
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk..._nkw=15+inch+touch+screens&_sacat=0&_from=R40
http://www.planartouch.com/products/
http://home.eeti.com.tw/
almost all of these work with USB some require you to solder and some you hook up through the port on the outside, Lifehacker had a post on the best route to go building a touchscreen pc, it was using a netbook, ill add that link later when i can find it
also i remember searching for touchscreens, they were rather easy to find, so either you were being lazy or your using a different internet, even now trying to find the sources that once used were rather easy to come by
the elotouch screens and the controlboards and screens from eeti work hand in hand, eeti even provides up to date software drivers etc for linux mac and pc
enjoy! your welcome!
EDIT:
Heres that LifeHacker link: http://lifehacker.com/5841196/top-1...echnology-of-the-future?tag=lifehacker-top-10
look at number 5
Thanks, that definitely helped. I must have been searching the wrong areas. Everywhere I looked, they were all minimum order sets, the ones I found on eBay were pretty bare on information. These look really good though.

I find it helpful to start with Newegg to get an Idea of what a New item costs and whether it is worth the time and money investment to piece something together. (world wide web) .newegg .com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=514&name=Touchscreen-Monitors&Order=PRICE
Looking at the specs you can narrow down the power usage and even find a DC powered monitor.
Hi, i am in desperate need of a lcd display for a 7 pro but they are seriously hard to get hold of!
I have looked on ebay and theres only ones from HK or China and even then the sellers feedback on screens is poor!
I have phoned countless repair shops in the uk and only a couple claim to be able to get hold of the screen but then demand that they fix the phone themselves and a stupid fee and will not supply the screen to me.
one thing i have noticed it that the touch pro 2 and 7 pro screens look identical apart from the colour of the ribbon that connects them to the main cable that goes through the slide body.
there is no visual difference between the screens or connector cables other thab colour and they have the same specs also-
480 x 800 pixels, 3.6 inches and a 259 ppi pixel density
Does anyone know if they are actually interchangeable or not? i cant find a screen anywhere and my wife is not pleased with me right now as ive only just got the phone and a broke the lcd trying to remove the digitizer even though i was ultra carefull and used lots of heat, please can someone help!!!!
Thanks, Steve.
Hello! To most simply answer your question, no. The screens are very different despite looking similar. The old TP2 screen is not multitouch and WP7 requires this. Also, the old screen utilizes a stylus while the newer 7 pro screen doesn't even recognize that type of touch.
It is your phone after all, so if you would like to try this that's your choice. However its too much effort to affix the ribbon to the pcb to even make it worth it. My old TP2 has a cracked digitizer which I have a replacement for, but the ribbon is machine pressed onto the pcb and reattaching this connection would be very difficult without the type of heat/pressure used in the manufacturing of the phone.
If you decide to try it let us know the results!
I'm sorry, I just seen you said the lcd itself, I thought you were meaning the digitizer screens.
That being said, maybe the swap will work, as long as they hook up the same?

i found a seller with genuine touch pro 2 screens who is willing to take it back if it does not work for me, i will let everyone know if it works!
I can confirm, the touch pro 2 screen does NOT work in the 7 pro, it is almost identical but the conector is at most 1mm wider than the 7 pro but its enough to stop if fitting into the socket
Back to the drawing board for me i guess.

not sure if you still need an LCD, or maybe you got a new phone by now. I found this if your still interested in getting it up and going again.

not been on for a few days, thankyou for the link its still there and in europe!
I bought another 7 pro handset as i could not wait any longer, i had been forced back to my old Touch pro (raphael) and although not a bad phone and running a custom 6.5.3 rom , it just cant cope on the web anymore as all the standards have changed and nobody is supporting windows mobile anymore.
Its a shame cos windows mobile is by far a better operating system than windows phone, updated and running on better hardware it would have rocked.
even though i bought a new handset ive always intended on fixing the other one when i get the chance and have put a bid on that screen to remove the buy it now.
Fingers crossed that it dont go up in price, my wife will kill me if spend much more on these phones lol
once its fixed its going to go in its box and live in a safe place till ive worn out this new one, dont think i wll sell it, thanks for your help, you get a thanks meter point for this :good:
Steve.
You are welcome I was a little worried you might not get to the link fast enough but thankfully you did! I seen that and figured its a steal considering the lcd is nearly that price alone, plus all the work needed to change it. Good luck I hope you win it
Thanks geeze

as long as you get the right screen, theres no reason why you cant do it yourself, just go slow, very slow, read tutorials and be very carefull of all cables and boards inside. if it its the glass digitizer that is broken and not the whole display, be very very carefull when removing it from the lcd as theres a big chance of breaking the lcd as its removed, heat to relax the glue is your friend! if the glass is shatterd, removing the glass bit by bit instead of trying to remove it all at once may proove easyer and less risky on the lcd.
Good luck, steve.
Look at this auction: http://www.ebay.pl/itm/HTC-7-pro-Arrive-T7576-LCD-Display-/141028832234?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item20d5f933ea&_uhb=1 this is display for 7 Pro.
Hi,
I've got a question related to the HTC One X. More specifically, all of a sudden my soft keys (back, home, options) started not working. The thing is, I took a look over eBay, and a screen replacement doesn't seem to be that expensive.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure which I would need to buy. I saw there is a LCD screen and a screen digitizer. Which one would I need, or would I need both? I've seen that basically the bottom keys are all connected to a strip and I figure that if I change that that part of the phone, my problem should be solved.
Now, another question would be if I should do it alone, or should I take my phone to a specialist? Taking a look over some YouTube videos, I saw that it's not that complicated to replace the screen of the phone. However, I wouldn't want to start something that would end up messing my phone ever worse than before. I'm not completely retarded when it comes to electronics, but still, better to be on the safe side.
I'm just hoping that some of you guys did this before or has experience with this sort of stuff and can offer some tips.
Thanks a bunch.
You'll need to screen and the digitizer, trying to separate then without destroying either is virtually impossible. The best option if to have it done professionally, but that is also the more expensive option obviously. If you have the right tools and the capability you can do it yourself, but I wouldn't try it unless your confident.
