Have somebody actually hard modded thier phones here? - Off-topic

Hi,
Is it anybody here that tried to hardmod thier phone? With this is mean changing the hardware or adding hardware?
I will start to experiment with my HTC ELF as soon as I buy a new phone, just when im bored... would be fun to know if somebody done something similar to thier phone?

no
i cant figured out how to make it cause i dont have the diagram...
hardware changes??? how can we make it.... once i have a Blue angel and try to change the audio port... guess what.. i brick it.... some pads missing and many more burns...
But We have painted them... is fun see my pimped works on Blueangel and on wizard at my signature... PIMP MY WIZARD or PIMP MY BlueAngel

I added a Purple Led into my Hermes, to tell me when i have a text. If that counts... then i guess i "Hard Modded" My phone.

I have seen a fellow from India hard solder a RUIM slot and get it working on a CDMA titan and someone else soldered a full size SD slot on to their touch pro to take advantage of a 32gb sdhc card.
Sure people who are crazy hardmod their phones

I mean wouldn't be fun if everybody who hardmodded thier phone write exactly what they did so us "crazy" people that have a phone without use of it could try to mod it?
Maybe increasing RAM, adding LED lights whatever that makes the phone funnier!
I remember hardmodding my PSP so it had two joysticks! thats awsome

Shiz man! thats insane, and i thought i modded my psp...

off topic but by using these guides:

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=39292
plus alot of brainwork, soldering and time!!
So this is what I think we can achieve, if people that done ANYTHING, and with that I've mean any hardmod, post it and let thoose who dare to try it! Would be alot fun and challenging!

Nice bro, just be carefull so you dont mess it up! I takes alot of time and testing.... I had three PSP devices, one old fat that I made the mod on and two slim ones in white and black.. So I didn't really care if the fat one broke.. I wish you good luck!
Sorry for going off topic, just got excited

When i get a new phone, I have plans to install a couple infared led's on my fuze for night veiwing. Ive wanted to hardwire the dongle it came with in it for a permanent 3.5mm jack. That shouldn't be hard to do.

I haven't tried that before.
However, I am planning to have it modified soon. I just need to find somebody who know how to do that-- someone that can be trusted

Is putting a MDA V into a diamond 2 housing "hard-modding"??
I did that, but consider that myself as a minor mod.
The people in the HTC Universal forums did a really impressive and cool hard-mod:
Adding RAM to their devices which made their 256 MB RAM into 512 MB..
Now that is a cool mod!

One time... at band camp... I took my TI-83+ silver edition calculater and added the small leds from an old hess truck and detailed the battery door to look like an engine bay! pretty sweet set up in math class, the only kid with an underglow kit on his car... I mean calculater! lol

New screens

My own screen has some scuffs and scratches, and i was looking for a new one. Now i know because of my old job that having it replaced at a repair-center (i worked at one) that will cost me something like 160 euro's.
But now i found a company (www.iiparts.com) on internet that sells the "samsung LTP280QV" displays for $75 a piece (for minimum of 5 pieces) and thats a good price i think.
These displays are used in the wizard and the magician ( :!: but Toppoly TD028STEB1 is also used, and they are not interchangeable :!: )
Maybe if there is enough interest for those displays we could buy some together (saves a lot of postage costs :lol: )?
It is not my goal to make money out of this, but to all save money.
So if anyone who is seriously interested could PM me, then i'll see if its worth it.
Goodluck.

Same here
That's not what he is asking guys.
There are a lot of users who won't use protectors because of disadvantages with it.
So if anyone is interested in a new display and don’t mind to do some DIY then please add your thread.

thnks drifter, thats what i want to say. And as i saw on the forum, there are a lot of people who dropped their device and have a broken LCD. For them it's also a lot cheaper, and DIY doesn't matter for them because their warranty is already voided because of dropping it.
.....
I already have sent my 9100 to the repair center....
If they will ask me a lot, I will contact you soon.
Today I got back my PDA....
I have disassembled it to check the type of the screen but it is a "Toppoly TD028STEB1"
Do someone know where to buy this kind of screen?
http://www.google.com/search?q=Toppoly+TD028STEB1
That should get you started I imagine

BUMP!
Hallo?!?!?
anyone?
is there anybody out there?
My question is there a screen which has decent sensitivity. I have had two T-Mobile MDAs and both are pretty poor when it comes to screen tap sensitivity. Also I have a continuous problem with alignment. After about a week I have to carry out a hard reset. Example if I am searching in my contacts database and use the scroll bar on the right side of the screen instead of scrolling the contact the stylus is adjacent to is selected. I have tried screen recalibration and that does not correct the issue. The only resolution is to clear storage and that is getting very aggrivating. Any suggestions. I am running Mr. Clean rev 2.4a. Am I looking at a software glitch or a bad screen... My guess is a substandard screen.
Bump again....
I still need to get the screen!!!!!!
Do you know if there's an easy way to determine which screen is installed without having to disassemble the phone? My Wizard100 (Cing2125) is fairly new and I just want to avoid disassembly unless it is really, really, really needed...
Sorry but I have no idea how to get that info without "explode" the PDA.
It will help to keep the guarantee as valid
Taking the Magician and Wizard apart
Hi,
How easy is it to take the magician and wizard apart?
...and put back together
I've looked on the net for hours and not found any instructions. On this site I have seen people talk of repairing their phones but no guides or indication of how easy/hard it is
thanks,
Graham.
OK, I found the service manual for the wizard at:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Docs_Tutorials/Wizard_Service_Manual.pdf
but what about the Magician?
thanks,
Graham.

But if you have installed any of the cooked ROMS using hard SPL, you have already said goodbye to your warranty anyway. So what is the difference ?
Olipro has described a method to revert to original ROM and SPL...just for those "warranty" issues. I'm sure I've read it into one of the Diamond ROM section topics, so there's no problem with that. But for this operation (described here to improve the sound), you have no return...though, I do believe it'll improving the sound a lot...but also it'll help to get a lot of dust inside your phone
Warranty? I would have thought you would just replace the cover with a new one should the need arise.... Anyway a somewhat interesting post, although the issue of dust and whatever else getting inside the phone has kind of turned me off unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.
i wont!
I wont do that to my phone!!
try and share your results ^^

of course it works, and of course its louder
all ur doing is removing some of the shielding and case... is it really that hard to work out?
Warranty is now voided, and u will now have loads of **** in ur phone. congratulations.
I never listen to music/radio without my headphones... I have no doubt that it can improve the overall sound but... it's kinda barbaric + it leaves enough space for more dust and stuff... hope it works for you guys!
This looks nice, i bet the part with the 3 holes in the case it's not that necessary. Can someone who did this leave some feedback ?
While I'm sure this works I'm still not convinced that this is the only solution for the ****ty loudspeaker.
I know there is the audio something tweak which helps a bit, but for instances, some alerts such as my alarm (alarm 5) and my "you got message" alerts are shockingly loud, like scary loud.
But then you get the in call loudspeaker and the video playback which are whisper quiet. Frustrates the hell out of me
I'll do this once my Diamond is out of warranty.
If you are worried ab out dust getting in, just glue some kind of filter to the inside of the holes, such as womens stocking or fine mesh...it's not difficult
I'll do it to, after 1 year and 11 months )

Help me get my wife a real phone

Hi,
My wife's LG Shine is getting awfully long in the tooth and I seriously want to upgrade her to a WM phone with GPS, WiFi, etc. (I'm a touch hd owner-LOVE IT). THe problem is that she doesn't like the plain, brick-like form factor of my HD. She wants something that looks cool and is appropriate for a business woman (she own her own consulting biz in China). Can anyone help me out with recommendations? The plane black candy bar is out, what else is there in a full featured phone?? Price is not a concern when it comes to my better half ;-)
MANY THANKS in advance!!!!
Coolest looking WM phone?
Hi,
I'm looking for a new phone for my wife, she hates the plain look of my Touch HD. What's the coolest/nicest looking full-featured phone you've seen? Price is not a concern...thanks a TON in advance for any suggestions!
go for a touch pro or get the new one when it comes out!
What about a Touch Diamond2, do you think she'd like that?
The Touch Diamond2 might look good on her...
I think she will love the Touch PRO 2 if she prefers having a keyboard, the HTC Advantage X7510 is too big for first time owners.
Don't go for the Sony X-peria, it has casing manufacturers defect.
diamond 2 looks good...
Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming! She's not into the keyboard at all, she actually really likes my Touch HD, if only it came in another color!!!

Get her an iPhone, my wife loves hers. And it is a real womens phone. It has everything that appeals to someone that is not serious about their phone. It is a serious piece of fluff and my wife loves it.
Best part is, you can play with it , and you don't have to admit that you own an iPhone.

I work in a game store and do console repairs.
I charge $50 to fix 360's which I feel is pretty reasonable considering the work, and the fact that I get it done overnight.
Kid comes in and asks me how much. I say $50. He then goes into how he knows how to do it but doesnt want to be bothered with getting the tools or materials needed and to cut him a break. I ask how much of a break. He says, Look, can you just fix it for me since I dont want to.
I laughed in his face and asked my co-workers if it was a joke.

After watching the video and seeing the pictures, I am not interested in this. Looks bulky and cumbersome. Then you have to buy and store/carry modules with you. Not for me, I prefer simple. Guess that's why no one posted yet.

I agree. This whole thing looks like a USB hub with some repackaged phone parts. In some ways this is nice and I like how simple they made this, but it is more aimed at the average user. It is a cheaper version of Phone Blocks. I hate this fad of thin phones, but that doesn't mean I want a brick.
I can't tell what it is, you didn't bother to include that in your post. I'm not going to watch a video without knowing what the topic is, only to find out I'm not interested and just wasted my time.
Signature edited to appease the OCD's
I voted for it to help you out, but honestly I don't know I would ever use it unless it was really cheap. And even then I would probably only use it for battery and storage with other phones too (like in future I know g4 has these already). Not sure what else I would use with it.
For me this is a pretty gimmick, I don't see it selling well at all.
Now the actual phones which come with this sort of tech will be amazing, I mean who wouldn't want to buy a base unit and then specifically make a device for YOU!
Nexpaq!!!!

See the previous responses of other users. U will know why. Many people it's of no use and bulky. Lol
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I like it, it's kind of cute and simple but don't think a lot of people would be interested.. IMHO, i wasn't even sure what it was all about at first..
two words, ugly.pointless.
Great idea. Some I would use but it does add a lot of bulk to the phone. This might be good for iPhone since not much gets upgraded with each iteration. ? lol
This looks like a pretty cool idea, but as a third-party addon, probably it wouldn't be great. I imagine it'd be fairly delicate (cheap plastic) and not integrate well. Also, the one shown here is rather ugly.
Now, if this became sort of a standard thing, it'd be really cool. Same idea as Phone Blocks I guess, but I like this design a bit better (except for the colours). Have a raised "hub" in the middle with slots to plug things into, hotswappable. So you could e.g. just upgrade the camera, have two cameras for 3D photos, plug in extra batteries, lend one to your friend if they're running low, remove things like bluetooth if you never use them, or add new stuff like NFC if your phone didn't come with it.
let's just wait til project ARA reached mass production.
What's this.. i'm curious will it actually get realized.. huh..
