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.
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.

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?

That should get you started I imagine

I did it..... but i would like t get some feedback from the users of this forum. It is nt a problem to get a link in internet, it's a deal to get a good vendor.
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

Long story short I tripped and landed on it. The lcd is not broken and all my touch gestures still work. The crack is on the inside (as in I can't feel it from the outside) I would like to fix this but have no idea what part I would need to order/ what it is named. Please help me I am very upset.

That's your LED screen. Google "screen replacement for (your model)" Should pull up a bunch of sites. Install yourself if able, cause some of these companies are ridiculous on prices. Did my wing for $28.00, I think. Been awhile. Good luck

wouldn't that mean i couldn't see a picture? my screen works fine its just cracked. I was told it is most likely the digitizer (but my touch gestures still work as well).

I assumed it was the screen itself. Is the screen plastic or glass. I would think plastic, but who knows. Google it. Most screens include the digitizer when the screen is purchased. Personally I would replace both at the same time if cheap enough. You'll have the phone apart anyway, If you plan on doing it yourself.
I found it fun & a bit educational. might have to order a tool or 2 but there very cheap. Be careful of the ribbon connectors, you can break them very easily.

Wow sorry to see the HTC Dream/G1 suffer the way it did.
I think its time to hang up the phone for good.
Save the money you would pay to fix it and move onto something newer.

Is that really a fair comparison ? It's a non-rooted G1 running 1.6. I'd like to see the results on a rooted/flashed w/Froyo 2.2 Also not overclocked like some of them.
Screens are cheap, relatively easy to install fix for a $400 phone. Seems a waste to "hang it up".
Interesting info @ site though.

The HTC Dream/G1 is dead last in benchmarks.
Unless he can find a screen for dirt cheap I believe it would be a waste of cash.
If he is eligible for a full upgrade discount from his provider let him decide for himself.

Agreed, it is his decision.
Root/Flash and overclock the G1 and your saying it will still be dead last ?
So another words, you break your $400 phone and "you" would just buy a new one ?

[Help] Taking/peeling off the "keyboard" on DROID 3

I got myself a great deal on a somewhat good condition droid 3 so i got it. 190$ to be exact for a fully unlocked gsm for ATT.
The only thing i dont really like though is theirs 2 big scratches on the keyboard, at first i figured i wouldnt find but after looking at it id rather have a clean looking keyboard.
Heres a pic:

Thanks.... got this info from it :
Next, start to peel off the keyboard to expose all of small screws that is needed to be removed. As shown in Figure 6, unscrew all the screws and lightly remove the display assembly from the slide mechanism and keyboard. For further assistance in prying apart, use safe pry tool and do it slowly and carefully.
Weird that i really just peels of like that, hearing from the OG droid you have to be extra careful and it doesnt mention anything about that so hopefully its just a quick peel of then.... put it on lol?

Look here at Page 1 and Page 2.

thanks...but again their is no mention if it just comes off just like that without anything to worry about like the OG droid or not... ( looking online it has a layer underneath that is "fragile". )
All i have to really go off of is the method for the OG droid, i dont know if that gold stuff is sticky or not and if i have to worry about it.

Anyone done a successful transplant? My D3 keyboard has the skipping issue. Replacements are under 10 bucks on eBay, so I'm thinking of trying this.

FWIW the keys themselves are simply stuck on to the back membrane with adhesive tape. So if you just want to replace one or more keys, then just ease them off, and then swap them over. I managed to remove my A key by accident on my XT860, and have just used double sided tape to re-attach it.
Cheers,
Steve.

Thanks, I've seen those. Just hoping to get some personal feedback on a succesful swap before diving in.

Thanks, I was curious about this exact kind of thing - how easily the keys come off and go back on, etc. About a dozen of my keys miss frequently (or double-press) so I'm guessing I've just got some worn or dirty contacts.

Weak Wifi and GPS, any advice or help?

Alright, so I have been fairly certain that I caused this problem but I wanted to make sure.
My gf dropped her HTC Vivid and broke the LCD and digitizer. I ordered new ones on ebay, both an LCD and digitizer, and installed them. The only problem is that after the installation the wifi and GPS on the phone were extremely weak. The wifi only works about 10 feet from a router, any further and it just doesn't show up. The GPS just says locking on target forever. I'm pretty sure the damage was caused by me and not by her dropping it, but I can't be sure. Wifi seemed to be working fine even with half the LCD and glass obscuring the view of android.
Even though I was pretty sure it was a hardware thing caused by me, I was scared to take the phone apart again after getting it all nice and put together so I tried unlocking, rooting, and installing CM 10.
CM10 works great, but the Wifi and GPS issues remain.
So I guess I need to take it apart again and put it back together very slowly and hope that this time any loose components or what not are put back into place properly....
Does anyone know where I can find any schematics online so that I can be sure to be EXTRA careful with the Wifi and GPS antenna? This way I can also inspect them to make sure they aren't damaged.

Tearing down the phone isn't the problem. I need to know exactly what is related to wifi and GPS to make sure I pay extra attention to those parts. I can't seem to find it yet.
edit:
I took the whole thing apart again, I put it together piece by piece very carefully following every breakdown and the Wifi and GPS are still incredibly weak and not working properly. Ideas?

Re: Ok so im trying to go back to stock with the ruu
I'll look for a diagram sometime tom. And get back to you

Looks like BT+wifi share an antennae and GPS has it's own. Both towards the top. My guess is it's just a metal tab that makes contact by the pressure from the case, but I haven't had mine apart to confirm that.

questionable quality?

Hello I bought my one 2 weeks ago, and had been noticing some defects.
They are minor, and I really don't care that much... but it's funny how everyone said that the quality is better then the iphones...not mine.
Bougth mine in the store... here are some pics:
The sim slot looks like someone raped it, even if I was the first one to use it...

The top plate of the speaker is put on so clumsy... there is a bum in the middle of the white field and the right part behind the front plate is sharp and has a gap...
The phone is rocking when put face down... seen on the pic... If I force bend it the other way its ok for a hour and then back to this... (This is probably the most wtf thing since this is my most expensive phone and has this defect)
What do you think?
Overall its a great phone cant say that... just the quality is not impressive as it was said...

I only see 2 options:
1- That phone wasn't new when you bought it, even if it was in a sealed box. Pretty easy to seal a box and make it looks like it never had been opened.
2- You have damaged the phone yourself. (I do not think this is the case)
What I know is that it does not look like a new htc one at all. Maybe you got scammed??

Progress report:
The phone was sent to service the 2nd time...
First time the vibration motor died ( not my fault.. it overheated somehow)
Now the camera stopped focusing...blurry pics
Examle:
What im trying to say is that my phone has some serius quality problems becase i think that's not gonna be the last thing that will die on this phone...
