Hello everyone,
Before I've experienced a problem with my TyTN II where the buttons were jammed and it would just go into voice recording whenever i turned it on.
The problem had disappeared until last week while i'm on vacation in middle east, took it to a local dealer for diagnosis and I was told I would need a new cable (no idea what it is) that would fix the problem.anyhoo, the estimated repair is costing me approx
$150 USD.
Is it worth it to get it repaired?

It depends whats causing the problem. If its your PTT button stuck, you can just reassign the button to not do anything. If somehow your phone has been corrupted then just flash your rom over again. Unless there's a physical hardware problem, I see no need for you to pay for some sort of repair.

hi, guys, i have a problem with my O2 XDA IIs (ASIA) power switch. When i was bought the device it was ok, later on i have been upgraded the ROM to later version, which the manufacturer provided me. Since then i always getting a problem with the power switch.
i mean when ever i try to turn on/off the device, normally the switch does not respond, but if i try few times then it works. Sometimes it works fine. sometime i press the power switch once and the device turn off after 3-4 minite.
i have triyed with different version rom's. But no result. Only once i have tried O2 UK original Shipped ROM and it works fine few months, then again same problem.
But i am preety sure that the switch does not have hardware problem.
I think it's a manufacturing bug. Is anybody has any IDEA to solve the problem, or is their any other way to map the power switch with another switch, i mean is it possible to map "OK" button as a power switch.
Thanks.
I have the same problem with you.
IT SEEMS TO ME ALL PDA EXPERTS FAILD NOW :shock: :?
Hi guys, It seems to me that i have found a way to fix the problem. I mean i have fix my one today. But be careful before try this, because it might be void your warrenty or you might loose the data.
I have open my o2 XDA IIs (Blueangle), have a close look inside. Then i have checked the power switch with a multimeter and the switch seems to be fine then i found the connector between mainboard & keypad has some "Dirty Stuff" on the connection pins, i think this is glue type thing, I have surprised :shock: because this o2 i have used maximum 10-12 times since i bought and i have just bought that 3-4 months ago. (You might ask me that why i didn't send that for warrenty service, because i have bought this from overseas and when this problem first arise i was called O2 Support in my country and they denies to give me warrenty)
so i have cleaned that connector & socket with circuit board cleaning liquid and also i have put some cleaning liquid inside the power switch. then i have put back all together and found everything is working well.
lets hope this should last long.
please see the attached picture.
So the touchscreen on my Tilt randomly died yesterday evening. No response from any on screen commands, though it still goes from dim to bright when touched.
Anyone else have any issues with this? I guess I'll have to bring my phone to AT&T today...hopefully I'll be able to get a replacement..
Try a hard reset first (but sync your data with your pc before you do)
I had the same problem - a hard reset sorted it.
Just tried this, it boots to the "Tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile based device" message that doesn't respond to tapping!
Great, now I have a brick.
Do you have a screen protector installed? I had a similar issue and when I replaced my screen protector with a new one, all was well again.

None as of now. Worst part is, I'm pretty much stuck. No phone service, no Tilts in stock to swap out, and AT&T doesn't give out loaners anymore..
Guess I'm calling customer service...

If you get your phone less than 30 days, call AT&T customer service asking for a replacement, or ask for a discount compensation credit for your inconvenience. My Tilt got cracked (I think it is a manufacturer defect), and I talked to AT&T CS, and I got $200 credit. After all, I paid only $200 for the phone, but I have to pay to replace the screen. Luckily, I got American Express to pay for the repairing charges since I used the AE card to do the purchase. Try!
I have the same exact issue, except I spilled water on mine. When I am on a call for example the phone's dimmer lights up after tapping but no other responses. Everything else is great tho. Now I added a new rom and I can't get past the setup tap screen. Let us know what happened.
Two weeks old and completely dead - not even a light on when plugged in to the mains. Has anyone else had this issue, or am I just unfortunate?
The phone started locking up when using TT6 - the only way to free it up was to remove the battery. Also quite often the touch funcion of the touch screen would not start, a restet usually got this sorted, but could take a few attempts. Lets hope it was just a one-off dodgy unit!
Personally - I would return it.
Have the rep see if they can get it to respond.

I have just got a replacement unit, T-Mobile have said because its a power issue within 28 days it's a warranty replacement. Interestingly the new unit has a different battery, its a Samsung KAIS160. I cant remember what brand the old one was but it was definately different.
Not having much luck with the Kaiser, the replacement had a leaking TFT - out of the box, brand new and factory sealed! Third Kaiser arriving today!
Hello all,
I bought a HTC Touch Diamond on August 13 because my
old smartphone (a HTC/Qtek S200 which I LOVED) was broken.
In the phone shop, I told the salesman that my main interests
were good WIFI (Wireless LAN) and navigation capabilities.
He recommended me the HTC Touch Diamond.
He said it had a built-in GPS and would be compatible with my
existing navigation software. Indeed it was.
Initially, the Diamond performed fine though it got noticeably
warm with an active WLAN connection. Also, when using it
in the car for navigation, it gets incredibly hot. Not just
warm, the lower half of the plastic back cover is almost
too hot to touch.
After a few days, the WLAN connection started dropping its
connection all the time, requiring a soft reset to get it going
again. Often, the Opera mobile browser would cause the
phone to lockup completely, also requiring a soft reset.
Over time, the WLAN stability deteriorated further and further
until it refused to initialize the WLAN chip at all. Clicking the
WLAN symbol in the Comms manager would briefly display the
"hourglass" symbol and subsequently nothing happens at all-
the WLAN just stays off. A hard reset didn't work either
(just killed all my data - otherwise no beneficial effect).
I can't say it really surprised me, given the extreme temperatures
this phone generates.
Because at this time my mum was hospitalized with cardiac
problems, I had no opportunity to return it to the phone
shop within the first few weeks.
Instead, I called HTC and they gave me a repair ticket and had
the phone collected from my home by UPS, sending it to the
"Eurotwice" repair centre in Belgium. I included a full error
description with the phone. Two weeks later I received the
phone back with a note that "no error had been found".
Bummer. I don't know what the heck these guys tested, but
a simple click on the WLAN symbol would have shown them
immediately that the WLAN is broken.
So, I called HTC again and was given another repair number
etc, and my phone was collected for the second time on
September 24 for yet another repair attempt. Today is
October 20, so I called HTC to inquire what's taking them
so long.
They called the repair centre and it turned out they're waiting for
replacement motherboards to arrive from Taiwan. It might take at
least another 10 days, they said, "with luck".
All in all, my brand new Diamond has been in repair for a
total of 6 weeks and I still haven't got it back. It remains
to be seen if it'll work as advertized after the repair. If so,
I guess it'll be "luck". I'm keeping my fingers crossed but
my gut feeling tells me that Diamonds aren't forever.
Hi,
i am in the same situation...
Also here in Italy there are no spare parts for the diamond (i am waiting for a new mainboard)
Mine is in the repair center from the first days of september....
Seems that they are waiting the same spare parts shipments from taiwan, but never arrives...
I had to send mine off to be fixed as well....twice.
I couldn't receive any signals on my phone so i sent it to be fixed. got it back after about 5days, and the phone was fine..........for a day. Sent it off the next day and this time it took just over a week. From the repair form it says they replaced the mainboard. It works perfectly fine now.
Hopefully i won't have to send it away again.

Hi,
In which country?
thanks
Mine was in repartion too... They had to change the mainboard because the device didn't start anymore... It did only the boot up sound, but no screen, no lights....
But I don't think it is the heat! Else much more people would have the same problems... I think we had the "bad" model. Mine works fine now too, had some problems to get a signal with the GPS, but it works noch really fine!
Do you think that the replacement motherboards are technically different/more reliable than the "originals"?
Today I had the opportunity to play with an Iphone 3G.
It's cool (I mean, it doesn't get warm).
Hi All,
The screen recently stopped working on my X1, so I sent it off for repair via my insurance company.
The phone is now back, and has been repaired. However, the keyboard seems to "double tap" everything. So if I press an 'n' it appears on the screen as 'nn'. It does this with a range of different keys/numbers and is starting to get VERY frustrating.
Do you think it's likely I'm just holding down the button too long? Is there a setting I can change this?
Or is the phone likely to need to go off for repair AGAIN?
Thanks!
keyboard problem
Even my key board is having the same problem. though i have not sent it for any repair. i noticed it after upgrading to official rom R3A.infact the space bar does not seem to be working. i thought it must be because of some dust inside. Do you think there is any chance of software related issue in this?
I just sent my phone in for this issue. Theyll send you a replacement device. Be aware though that if you are sending it to the repair center in the states and have an x1i theyll send you an x1a instead. Im currently facing this problem and am going to be speaking to the corporate office tomorrow
