Hey all,
I'm a long time reader, first time poster on xda-developers and have had numerous HTC phones in the past but this Touch Diamond is really getting to me! I can almost cope with its sluggish performance by flashing it to these fantastic roms on the website but now I'm getting what I assume is a hardware problem...
More and more often I'm having this problem where I press a button on the right hand side of the screen and the phone thinks I have pressed a button a 2cms to the left! I've tried to take a picture of this on my webcam (excuse the quality) where I am trying to press the backspace button but the phone thinks I have pressed the '8' key:

I have tried soft and hard reset. I've tried going back to the original rom and changing to another cooked rom!
Any ideas anyone? Would be much appreciated as I can hardly use the phone in its current state!
Thanks!
James
dude you realy messed up your phone,
sorry i aint got a solution for this?
lol tell me about it! can't think its anything i've done though.
shall i just send it back to HTC and let them sort it out?
hi james,
maybe its a dumb question, but did you tried to calibrate the touch-screen?
if yes, then i think this is a hardware issue caused by the digitizer...
in this case better send it back to htc but dont forget to flash the factory rom on it before sending in!
good luck mate
hey,
yeh i've done the calibration loads of times which normally fixes it for a bit but it always goes back to being out of alignment. i've downgraded the SPL and reflashed.
do you reckon that'll be ok?
thanks!
james
ive got the same problem anyone got a idea of why it happens? thinking of sending it to HTC for repairs, does the diamond have 2 year warrenty or 1?
ps ive got the orange branded HTC touch diamond uk version
hey,
had the same issue for about a month.
wen't to the store i got it from, and after more than a month without a device they replaced it for me.
it wasn't easy, but they just couldn't solve the problem!
while my phone was at the lab, I sent HTC a message and they answered that it is a known hardware issue and that I should get it replaced.
don't wait, go to your supplier!
you will find some threads here regarding this problem- all unsolved...
I hope that ur device will be replaced!
GOOD LUCK!

I had the same issue and got it replaced. Since HTC stated is a known issue, will the problem come back after some use? If that the case, seem i better sell it off rather wait till the problem came back after warranty expired!
They shouldnt named it Diamond. Diamond meant to be last forever and this "Touch Diamond" just too problematic.
i have the same problem, i will take it to htc for replacement, can someone help me to find the original SPL?
original SPL 1.93 and instructions attached
thanks, but does it matter if my original spl was a different version like 1.35 or 1.37 etc?

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.
I've been using screen protector on vario from the very first day i got this babe.

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.
Cheers,
Drifter

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

I found a very good quotation in the www.lcd315.com or www.lcd315.net.
Could someone know this e-shop ?
Did anyone buy something from there?

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.
I'm waiting for spare parts from china....
LCD , cover house, batteries -thin&thik,
I hope everything will be right
sorry but i have no idea about Magician

It's easy....

so a person i hired to flash my rom just when he's in the middle of flashing the hero rom the phone's battery dies he says let it charge ill be back when its fully charged and now im turning it on and its stuck in the t mobile g1 boot and i cant access recovery or boot loader i guess my question is what now do i have a brick
if you cant access bootloader or recovery...your bricked
you can try martin_secretary's method in the dream section and see if it works, but if he messed it up during the spl flash...your phones dead
no that battery died when the hero rom was flashing

Yes and then backhand him in the face.
Why would you want to pay someone to do it anyways, the steps are easy enough to do it yourself.
1. the guy is lying, it messed up during the spl flash, or the battery died during the spl or radio flash, that is the only way it could be bricked, it dying during the rom flash would not brick the phone, just wouldn't let it boot all the way up.
2. get your money back.
3. backhand the guy, then give his mother the ninja.
4. don't let other people who don't what they are really doing mess with your phone, obviously he didn't know what he was doing well enough since he tried to flash something that could potentially brick the phone, while the phone had a low battery.

There's a cab for that.
not getting any image at all now just a blank screen - gonna do another hard reset - test front camera and back camera - if they are both messed up then i dunno...
The only thing i can think of is me having magnets near my phone???
Do you use HTorch?
Been around any nuclear reactors recently?
Nope - not used htorch - nor nuclear related stuff either lol - must be magnets??
try flashing another rom
if it dont work on stock ones its never gonna work on any others - getting no image at all now - completely failed
That really sucks - you still on warranty? Seems that your sensor went bad - it used to be a big problem with Canon cameras.

So i shattered my screen on my phone and have been looking into buying a new digitizer but I have not been able to find any guides/videos for doing so. Has anyone had success repairing a cracked screen?
I read on a forum on a different site that someone was attempting to replace the screen but that when it came time to separate the screen from the bezel it got hairy.
Any help would be much appreciated. Using the original blackjack in the meantime and it is killing me!

Here's a video for motorola A855. Not the same but a good starting point. There's more videos to look thru. Read the comments as well, they should be helpful. One dude said he successfully did it with a phillips screwdriver without taking it all apart. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Awesome thanks for the link. I will be ordering the screen within the next couple days and will post results.
If at all possible I will try to upload a youtube video of the process specific to the xt720.
I also broke the touch, as you have you got mounted?
you made the video ....?
know of a link somewhere manually?
hello thanks.

no I didn't make the video, I haven't even used this or broke my screen. Was just trying to help with an Idea. Let us know how it goes if you order one and maybe make your own video? or tutorial.

So what's the verdict? Did you order one?
unfortunately I have not had the chance to mess with it yet. I ordered it and its at my house, I am just trying to find the time to break everything down. I also made the mistake of buying a vibrant 4g before I fixed it so I have been even more preoccupied with that. I will try to post results this weekend. Sorry for the delay
Interesting. I want to get one of those. However in my case, its the glass part of the touchscreen thats broken i.e. all touch are still registered as if nothing is wrong. Do I need a digitizer or just a replacement glass lens.? Or is it just one big planel (glass lens + touch digitizer)?
Hi guys, I have sent my phone off for repair to HTC as i have had WI-FI issues basically since I bought the phone last year,the wi-fi disconnects at weaker areas,whereas the other phones i have tested work fine..I have only recently realised that thi was a manufacturing issue after reading reviews online.So I have decided to send the phone off for repair, a week later (today) I get a quotation from HTC of £187! Bear in mind I still have warranty on my phone..HTC initially did not state the reason why I have received the charge,they just claimed that the work required was caused by the damage that isn't covered by warranty. So i went onto HTC chat and spoke to someone called Wioleta,she eventually told me that I have installed "unauthorized software" on my phone. Now I PROMISE YOU guys, i have not done any tweaking on my phone for a long long time...before I did install a ROM rooted my phone etc, but i had to set everything to default settings as i have sent the phone off before because of a different issue ( coloured lines on my phone - if you guys remember), I have done the procedure correctly and HAVE NOT been charged by HTC for the repair,so it was done free...ever since the repair I have not done any modifications to my phone or downloaded any illegal software...So I would like to know why they said i have done this and is it possible that they could have done this?? I have attached a picture of what Wioleta has sent me on chat...I think there is a mistake somewhere because i am innocent...and I have already sent them a complaint about it, but I really need my phone back... please can somebody give me some advice on how to tackle these twats! Thanks for reading.
