you should really do some searching before you ask questions.. I've only been on the kaiser forum for an hour and I already found the answer for your question and all I did was read all stickies. Start there and watch this while you're at it

umm sry guys if i am screaming and with possible OT but its kinda urgent for me..
kk heres the story, i live in croatia in Europe.. i got my ppc cingular 8125 from ebay like 9 months ago and it was working fine... than one month ago the touchsreen would disalign, and than it went totally off... I sent it to the service here but they were unable to locate the proper error... they told they r quite sure the display controller went dead...
so, I am willing to send it in USA to a decent service... i got a friend in florida which could manage this, so I ask u plz if u know any decent service which could be able to fix this problem... and for cheapest price if possible, cos guys here told me a new screen would cost around 200$ which is too much (i think... since for few more hundres dollars i can get a new one)... so plz, can u suggest me any good service at florida or near there?
thx guys

ps- will there be any problem, since i modded ppc with that antenna aluminium foil + the speaker gum (the one which is stick on them) is missing? I had no guarantee when i got it from ebay, of course..
im not sure of the price but im pretty sure there's instructions somewhere explaining how to open up the wizard and replace the screen. It sounds like all you'll need is a new touchscreen, which i thought was under $100. That is of course if you're willing to do it yourself.
Im sorry i cant help, but im going to bump this just so someone who does know can help you.
yea, i thought the same... on ebay there r touchscreens for cpl of bucks... but what if the problem isnt in touchscreen? could it be maybe that the whole LCD+touchscreen is dead? I have to say i can't see any bad pixel on lcd display, he is workign fine... but what if...
any suggestions? could it really be that just the touchscreen is dead?

Hey guys, i have a huge problem with my tilt, it is driving me crazy. My keyboard is acting crazy. When i press some keys it will give me a double key, like if i press i or o it will write io, and i know that they are close together and that mite be the problem but sometime if i press R it writes ri or ro, its really only with these 3 keys. I was wondering if anyone out there had this problem (funny i had this problem with the phone i had this replaced with the p990i) and how to solve it. i really hope its not a hardware problem cuz i bougth the damn phone from someone on ebay, brand new.
please help, i have the htc rom installed, sleuth 1.0. thanks guys, i appreciate it alot
I had the same problem. It is a bad keyboard membrane. You will need to replace the membrane or send it in for repair. I had att replace me.
great. i dont have att so that means that i will have to sent it to htc right?
damn i never get anything good on ebay (and i keep telling myself that it will be the last time i buy something from ebay). I mean the damn phone was new.
So can i contact htc and send it to them and will they replace it for free? cuz sure att isnt since i have no account with them.

If you bought it BRAND new, sure!! Forget the bull**** on HTC's website about proof of purchase. The Ebay receipt print off is good enough or your cred card statement for the purchase (erase the rest for anything else!!! ). Just as anywhere else, DON'T take no for an answer.
yeah, im not gonna get no for an answer for sure. i paid good money for this. I think i am gonna get my friend to send it to att so i can get a replacement right away, now i gotta flash it back to att crap rom and hope my friend is up to, i heard htc takes its time to get things done and that would mean no phone for 1 month. damn this sucks, thx for the support guys.

Found on a 'Bork'?? thread here.
do you by any chance have htc keyboard+keypad installed?
try uninstalling if you have it in there.
seriously? now peoples keyboards are F'ing up? damn.. what is next
I've already gone through so many I've lost count. Frys Electronics is getting tired of me coming into their store every other day with another problem on a new Tilt, lol
First it was the side scroll wheel, it didn't even work
Second was the usb port, it was so tight that when I went to take the usb charger off it, it pulled the usb port out some with it.
Third and most recent was a dead pixel and a slider that closed too far.
Do I just have bad luck? lol
dont have anything installed, just did a hard reset so no progs installed. it looks like its screwed up and how lucky it is exaclty the sam prob as my p990i (which i thought was software problem) but its not.
Since AT&T discontinued the tilt what will they exchange my phone for?? will it be something with lesser value? or will it be the fuze? i heard that at&t starts offering warranty right before they discontinue the phone your purchasing.. do they do that so they can rip u off? has anyone here previously reported there phone missing? what did they exchange it for? any help would be great thanx!

well i doubt that they will replace it with a fuze yet. I mean they have to run out of tilts (including refurb's) before they replace it with another phone. Once that happens than they will offer you the next most competant phone to replace yours.. which will be the fuze eventually.
However depending on when you got your tilt you have a 1 year warranty on it so there is no way att can rip you of that. That warranty is effective from the day of purchase. Att, however, just started (about a month ago) offering insurance for the tilt; this was not available before.
When you report your phone as lost ... that isn't a device defect that is your mistake (in their eyes) for being careless. In order for you to get a replacement under these circumstances you need to have insurance otherwise you are SOL (sh*t out of luck). However, bear in mind the deductible for replacing a tilt is 150.00 dollars so this really doesn't do any good what so ever as alot of members here are selling their tilts for that price.
Hope this helps get rid of confusion ... than again it might not as we live on a planet that revolves around itself and around a star ... and agh that is confusing... am i floating .. walking .. damn which side is flat (no wait earth is round nothing is flat) .. than how come i don't fall ... aah thank you sir isaac newton for that info... confusion cleared
I read that they are just pulling it from AT$T stores,but that it will still be manufactured and available at AT&T online only.

thank u so much for clearing that up.. 1 more question though if i go to a store that has run out of the tilts will they be able to give me a fuze? or would i need to wait for at&t to send me one?

no exchanges are done through customer service (99%) not at store level. They won't be able to help you out they'll give you 800 number for customer service and they will handle that for you.

Hi there,
Well I have had my wizard for a while now and the screen has managed to aqiure some scratches over the years and I found out that on ebay you can get a new screen for like £8 with tools and instructions, so this got me thinking, as I really like this phone even though it is old and outdated it still manages to keep up in some areas and thanks to you guys it keeps getting new software and os's so I thought well instead of spending £400 on a new phone why not spend like £50 on a new screen and then possibly fix the biggest problem i have with this phone, the RAM.... its really not enough and i was wondering if it was possible to get a new upgraded RAM chip and just get someone experienced in soldering and stuff to take out the old one and put in a new one. Now I know this really sounds far fetched and even if it is possible it may end up way to expensive, and alot easier to get a new phone but if anyone has any ideas if it is possible id love to know.
PS sorry if this is a seriously dumb question but I like my massive outdated smart phone I just wish it had more ram.
Thanks
Well to all those interested, i have found out that it is possible to get it to 128 MB but it will cost around £70 and i can get a secondhand HTC TYTN II for £100 so I think ill go for that instead.
That's cool
Is it available freely or did you have to do a lot of digging?
And any ideas how to install the new memory?
Well from what i found out in another thread on this site is that a company called retronix will take your phone in and change the ram chips for you. Here is the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359590
I have sent them an email asking about it but have not recieved a reply.
I hope this will be helpfull for you, I have decided against it as you can buy a second hand tytn II for almost the same price and also as I will start uni in september I will be getting a contract that comes with the Touch Pro 2 cant wait it looks like an awsome phone.
Hi there,
First post so first up let me just say hey been lurking on here for awhile but never needed to post before! I seem to have had the worst luck ever, purchased two samsung phones first off a galaxy s2 off ebay which I was really looking forward to using and then an s8000 from cex which I wasn't looking forward to using so much. I've spent a lot of time unlocking and sim unlocking them only to find out they are both IMEI blocked, I've spent a lot of money on them and even when i've taken them into the operators they have been no help even going so far as suggesting I have stolen both of them. I don't really want to give up on either phone but spending £100 on a z3x box just for two phones is a bit much, so I wanted to know if there's anyone in london with a z3x box who would be willing to help me. I understand that it probably looks a bit dodgy asking on a new account like this but I can only assure you of my sincerity. I'll understand if no one is willing to help but if anyone is could they please get in touch with me.
Thanks for your time.
You need to get your money back from ebay and cex, shouldn't be a problem, always get imei no before buying, if they don't provide it, they are hiding something
