Carphone Warehouse - Off-topic

So my phone is off for repair, because the screen is unresponsive on the right hand side.
Can't believe it.
Carphone Warehouse
woman: "so the screen is unresponsive?"
pause
woman: DROPPED MY FU*KIN PHONE ON THE FLOOR, ABOUT 1METER AND HALF DROP!!!!
woman: "so where is it unresponsive?"
long pause, while i was thinking to say "well the whole FU*KING SCREEN NOW!"
me: "just along the right hand side"
woman: "have you got a phone for the meantime?"
me: "ye"
in my head: "ye, my 7 year old, trusty, never break, never give up, never defective, fu*kin solid HTC HIMALAYA (02 xda II) WINDOWS MOBILE BRICK!!!!!
woman: "so your phone should be repaired i about 14 days"
The good news is if the problem isn't fixed they will give me a brand new one.
Comments?

I am confused.

makes no sense

I think
woman: DROPPED MY PHONE ON THE FLOOR, ABOUT 1METER AND HALF DROP!!!!
was meant to be
flyboyovyick DROPPED MY PHONE ON THE FLOOR, ABOUT 1METER AND HALF DROP!!!!
I decided to edit due to the swearing...
I hope you get your phone back, and that you didn't give it to them with anything on it... you know, such as your google accoutn linked to market so they can download whatever apps they feel like?

the woman actually dropped my phone on the floor!!!
And before i give it them i wiped it.
Its just, when she dropped it she didn't apologise. Or check it for any damage.
So if it comes back damaged, i will be telling them that the woman in the shop dropped it.

lol Please don't hate me for this but Apple will replace and held hand device straight away if something is not working and is under warranty. That's the only good thing from them But anyway hope you get a replacment device, especialy considering the woman dropped your phone

If the phone is still defective when i get it back, they will give me a brand new replacement.
And if that doesn't work i don't know whats happening.

Well i was aiming to get a refund so i can buy a san francisco.
But.... It hasn't worked out so far.
Still, i will see how it goes.

My HD2 has developed a problem with the screen too.
I want to give it in for repair, but I really cant be bothered waiting upto a month (tmobile) to get it replaced.
So I think Im going to be cheeky and ask them for a brand new phone insted, as HD2s are almost a year old (DesireHD pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseee god!)
I doubt they will let it happen though...
Its shocking that the woman dropped your phone! I'd expect a brand new one there and then if that happened to me

Sorry to ruin your joke!
But its not funny when you haven't got a good phone any more!

thats not a carphone its a mobile phone !!
u could of only stole it from their employee , no wonder theyre not happy about you !!

cba to quote an earlier post, mainly as my work proxy had one hell of a seizure yesterday due to the language used... guess they changed some things!
But anyways - Sorry i misunderstood. Did you get the name of the carphone employee, and the time and date? That way if it comes back un repairable due to the damage from the dock you can pressure them to look at the CCTV to watch the fool drop your phone!
Hopefully you'll get a new phone, I don't know of many places that still sell your LG GT540.

I don't think that the gt540 is a popular phone. Probably why i got it for £109.99. I SO WANT A REFUND!!
Oh i have just remembered! the 3G doesn't work either!
Thanks for the tip! I will remember that and yes i know her name (as its on the leaflet)
I will tell you how it goes. In about

Looking to buy a Tilt

Well, it's official. I trashed my Tilt. I dropped it in a bucket of fresh oil that i was using to soak a set of lifters for a motor I am building and didnt realize it for at least an hour or so. Now it looks like I have a 70's lava lamp in the screen. It does boot, but no response via the screen and it seems to be flickering the backlight. Before anyone asks, yes it was synthetic and no, I have no idea how I did it. Oh, and I found a cure for the sticky keyboard keys. Mine are smooth as silk but who knows if they work or not. It's hard to see past the lava bubble of oil trapped in the screen.
Does anyone have a Tilt for sale or know of someone who does?
Thanks guys and yes, if you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at?
Oh and the funny thing about it is that everyone that sees it says it would be awesome if you could buy one that had the lava in the phone like mine does now. However, I think they want it to work and really dont want me to install the lava for them.
If anyone has an extra Tilt they want to get rid off. Depending on the Price I might buy it from you. Also, I'm Thinking of adding this to the Kaiser FAQ Wiki.
Q: I Dropped my Kaiser in a bucket of Oil and now The Touchscreen doesn't work What should I do?
A: Buy a new one. Or you can try and have the Screen replaced.
I've got one, but I want an iPhone... :gasp:

Eh?
This message is too short!
One hell of a way to make your keyboard nice and smooth. Take a look on ebay of CL.
I have two tilts one is listed on ebay right now.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120252716998&Category=38331
The other I have not listed. Check it out.
I just got a tilt from AT&T for very cheap. Go to wireless.att.com and buy a refurbished one. They are FREE with 2 year agreement!! Here's the catch... you need to only keep the phone on AT&T for 30 days then pay a $175 Early Termination Fee and the phone is yours for the $175 + $40 or so for the first months service!!!! I just got mine this way and it's perfect... it was as good as brand new looked like it was never touched before!
I appreciate the offers, but ebay is not the solution. I don't care if the phone is locked or unlocked. I am more than compitent enough to unlock the phone myself. Also, just because the phone is unlocked does not make it worth more or less than the locked phone in my book. $500+ for a tilt is just not an option. The money is not the issue, the value of the phone is. XDA store has the phones for $224.99 for those with an already existing account. Why would I pay more than that?
However, thanks for the offers guys. The offers are very much appreciated.
Man, don't you read the manual on your new toys????
You DO NOT need to lubricate the Tilt Hinges people!!!!
I'll see if I can find anyone here wanting to get rid of it. Actually I may even, need to see when the T3 will be out though.

I deserve that. Still, i think i have found the cure for the "sticky" keys.
Side note, seems as though everything seems to be working again. It did trash a battery as it wont pewr with it installed. However, the "lava" bubble is gone, the sound is no longer garbled, the touch seems to be working and as far as i can tell everything is back to functioning. The only issue I am seeing now is that there is some SLIGHT discoloration to the background of the screen. Who knows, it may work fine after all. I am still in the market though for a new or refurb, either way.
i just happen to be selling one..

i will make deals on the price if your interested in my phone.

Kaiser R.I.P

Yo guys, I have had this Kaiser since January, and I must be honest it was a dissapointment, but then I stumbled across this site, and I started flashing my phone with different roms, and yeah I must admit, the dissapointment dissapeared for a while, and now, my phone's keyboard broke, and I can't do anything, its stuck on ECFG, so when i goto word or something, it types ECFGECFGECFGECFGECFGECFG the whole time.
Just want to say was an awesome time here, by the end of next month I'm gonna be throwing this Kaiser against the wall, theres just too much thats wrong with it, even out of the factory.
1) crap GFX drivers
2) crap battery life
3) my touched screen stopped working for a while
4) way too fragile
5) and now this.......keyboard stuck on ECFG...
6) During a phone call signal strength is 100%, but seems like Mic is cutting out everynow and then. Have to slap it while talking to the other person so they can hear me??!?!!
Thanks a lot for XDA otherwise i wouldve threw this phone out long ago.
Any reccomendations on what phone I should get next?
Thanks
...iphone?
Send your Kaiser "disaster" to me...
sell for parts, fit there is any parts left of it
The next phone i am getting is HTC_Raphael
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
A few kaiser people move to HTC_Diamond
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
They are just about the same except
HTC_Diamond
4gd on board rom
no microsd slot
no keyboard
fm radio
480 x 640
HTC_Raphael
512mg rom
keyboard
micro sd slot
fm radio
480 x 640
HTC_Diamond is out but i think HTC_Raphael is coming out this month
too bad the rapheal looks really thick... but you are right about the kaiser being extremely delicate i have had a few problems also.
Sell it man, don't waste it on the wall. You can easily get a good amount for it broke. Lots of people would be willing to take the chance at fixing the keyboard. I did that with about three wizards and made a profit.

SHHH! Dang I was in talks of getting it from him for free.
iPhone would be nice, but you lose so much when going away from windows mobile. the xperia is looking pretty nice.
What are you people doing to these phones to make them "fragile"? Using them as hammers?
I'm not the "kindest" to my phone, screen isn't scratched, couple of dings where it was dropped from waist height, mostly to carpet, couple of times on concrete.
Tilt mechanism used 3-5 times a day and it's still as tight as can be.
I just can't figure out how people hose these phones.
I agree my phone is pretty durable. Climbing out of my SUV a couple times I've Hit my Holster and it released my phone and it fell to the parking lot. Still as strong as ever.
I dunno then maybe my phone fell off the aeroplane or something on the way to South-Africa lol, oh another problem I'm having with the phone, even though my signal strength is 100% etc. I'm hearing the other person loud and clear, but they can't hear me at all at times. I have to slap the phone every now and then and then they can hear me? I mean wtf.
This is the most problematic phone I've ever had. My phone barely has any scratches too, yeah, dropped it a few times, surprizingly I can almost see any scratches on it. There are absolutely no scratches to the touch screen.
I'm a business man, I need my phone 24/7, and it needs to be working 24/7. Like even if I shower, I put the phone about 2m away from the shower, just so that I can hear it, and last night my phone rang, I dried my hands, my hands were a lil wet, and I touched the phone to answer, and the whole keyboard/front buttons went completely bonkers after that.
Now my previous phone was completely splash proof (Nokia N80ie) and I have dropped that thing millions of times, and I've never had a days crap with it. Yeah after a while it looked like the phone just came out of world war 2, and yet it still grafted.
So ja..... my lil 2 cents

Hmmmmm i dont know about delicate.....im not gentle what-so-ever and my kaiser has seen concrete pavement many a time..... Aside from the scratches on the case, it still works like new
I have a dead kaiser also, but mine was self destruction.
Work gave me the ****s, so I literally threw the phone as hard as I could on the floor.
I stayed in one piece, but was completely dead.
I have another one know, but I'm also starting to lose my patients with it.
Running Dutty's apr/29 rom.
My main problem with the kaiser is, no matter what rom, when it's time for some hardcore use, like making ****loads of calls, sending msgs etc.., it tends to fail at the most critical of times, and I have to soft reset with furious anger
Thats my main gripe with the phone.
The sad thing is, I have 4 more kaisers sitting here.
I think I'm gonna sell one for an iphone, and one more to get a touch pro.
Or you could just give them to me. I will use them for good, I promise.

has my vibrator gone bad?

my phone won't vibrate when it turns on or when receiving texts or calls. even if i switch it to vibrate it won't. if i shake the phone a bit before i make a panel selection i get a click from inside the phone when i select the panel. it's like it wants to work but it won't work all the way. anyone else had this problem? if so how do i fix it? this is frustrating. thanks for any help
EDIT: (just so you don't have to search through the whole thread)
Found out that the problem was HTorch. I used it for only a few minutes on high power and it melted the Led on top of the vibrator motor and locked it down. Heed these words, comrades. Take special care not to use htorch on its bright setting. cheers
if hardreset dont do anything then
i would say that it's a hardware malfuntion
which require service
I thought this title was referring to something else

There's a thread where someone else had the same problem, more than likely the motor has burnt itself out or the weight/cam has dropped off the end of the shaft (LOL). More than likely a return to SE/your provider to get it fixed.
God you just jinxxed mine! Vibration is dead now. Nothing on calls texts or anything. Even when I go into sound panel to test it doesn't work.
Just done a hard reset and nothing.
Looks like a service job already....

I had the same problem and in the end had to get a replacement.
I sent my X1 to service last week because of the same problem.

what i found is not pretty....

that piece that looks crooked with a yellowish square piece on it shouldn't be crooked. it should only be occupying that blue rectangular space. it seems to have overheated and melted itself out of place. if you look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWDurQrRt-Y&feature=related
at 2:26 you see what it should look like on the right side of the camera. it's new resting place is (guess where ) snug on top of the cam and motor. it's locked down. i would just like to know what it is and why or how it overheated. it seems like a simple fix... if i knew where to buy that black plastic thingy that is now melted. i just figured this was some interesting info to share. i really can't go without my phone for however long it would take for them to repair and ship it back to me so if any of you know of a place online that i can buy xperia parts, feel free to post a link. thanks you guys
that's the one...
Good job in finding out what it was. However, I didn't pay good money to fix it myself so it's going back to O2
O2 have no stock and are giving me the 'sometime next week' crap again. Then he said go into a shop and see if they can fix it as it may be software.
Looks like I will re-flash the ROM back to normal and then bring it into a store. Then it's either send off for repair or wait for stock. My Jedi senses are telling me that I am going to kick off very soon....
i thought about what i asked earlier about someone posting a link to buy replacement parts and then i remembered that parts shortage they went through that delayed everything. if sony/htc can't even get the parts they need to make the phones, then how am i supposed to get the extra parts that i need to fix mine lol so despite my impatience, i guess i'll have to send it back
Vodafone or O2 figurine?

best thing really, you don't expect to pay all that amount of money for a phone that is 99% working. This is my first SonyEricsson that I have sent back within 3 weeks for a hardware fault.
mine is an x1i unlocked from the uk and i'm a kid in the u.s. on t-mobile lol. wish i did live there though. that'd sure be swell
really though, these ARE the first on the market so ppl shouldn't expect them to be without their flaws just as with any other high-end item be it phones or game systems. time must be allowed for all the creases to be ironed out.
Good luck figurine lol
And yes I do expect problems and I am not that mad with SE but O2 should be able to support their customers in a reasonable timeframe as we paid good money for them....
that wasn't aimed at you guru... it's these ppl that make a big deal about having to send their phone back within a few weeks of getting it due to hardware or software issues. It's to be expected. they should wait a few months until the bugs are worked out or something

FML:
How many pockets does the average person have? Well i know i always have loadz and the phone could be in a multitude of pockets but generally in my chest pocket next to my heart, anyway so i'm out in town with my tusty Nokia Ringo "yes i feel old" feeling the ol bladder kicking in decided i have to go to them horrible town toilets "we all know what they like" anyway sprinklin away finish and force of habbit flush the toilet only to hear a splash very similar to taking a dump, look down and oh my god the Ringo is drinking toilet water "well i'd have love to have left it" but just purchased so had to get it you can imagine whats going through my mind? @ least i flushed before lol so i get it out and put under the hair dryer think i must have spent a good hour, didn't turn the phone on for about 3 days, to my suprise when turned on it worked, only for me to be moving away about 6 weeks later for work to get to my destination and find i'm in a city with no working mobile and no explanantion as to why it didn't work? Untill phone the x and find out that orange juice was the culprit "never spent so much money on payphones" but alls good many years later i have a Tilt and am happy
Sorry for such a long story but you aked for it "just hope it fits the crita"

Something similar happened to me a while ago with my motorola star tac...

I flushed first then took it off and of course it was dead...

Yep i remeber was my first real job working as a trainee mechanic and being fleased by a new phone, got it from a shop called Tandy to which i'm pretty sure no longer exists as outlets "shops" anymore?
They no longer work as was on the analog network and had *# commands to do anything
I'm not sure but also think they were the first ever pay and go phone?

What happens without a phone?

Smartphones everywhere.
It seems people are busy with their phone.
People read newspapers on the bus before, but now they chat, browser news, play games via phones.
Then what happens without your phone, maybe just for a day?
(sorry for my pool english
Without phones = End of the World !
If I didn't have my phone I would prolly buy one Lmao.

Bad Day
I feel naked as a jay bird without my phone. Kinda like the cigarette commercial I would have to re- learn how to do things without my phone
If I loose my phone I'll go suicide and haunt the place afterwards and everyone with a smartphone that passes by that place they will be dead when they're batteries get empty
I must be one of the people that really wouldn't mind. Yes, I do use my phone for a lot of things, but I will live without it. For music, I'd just have to get another device, or a Walkman (hey kids, remember the walkman? not the SE Phone line ;-) ), GPS, there are regular maps, and other stuff like that.
No Gingerbread for Desire!
Rather than starting a new thread...
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/commun...ead-for-desire-due-to-memory-issues-10022721/
"We're sorry to announce that we've been forced to accept there isn't enough memory to allow us both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire," the team wrote. "We're sincerely sorry for the disappointment that this news may bring to some of you."
So it's ok for users to live with an outdated OS that has Kernel vulnerabilities, leaving them prone to attack vectors that have since been fixed...just as long as HTC can keep foisting software crippling bloatware down peoples throats.
Well done HTC! *Slow hand clap.
Edit: Quick 180 by HTC...

I have been without my phone for about 16 hours now! I sat on it and completely bust the screen. Not having a phone is horrible, I feel like I have lost a limb. I just hope my insurance pays out even though my phone is rooted and has a custom ROM installed/

Insurance will pay it out, no problem. ROMs will only affect warranty.

I figured as much. I'm kind of hoping they will just repair the screen and send my phone back to me as it was. But it does in the T&C's that they will update software to most recent version before sending the handset back. And I Can't be arsed to go through the hassle of rooting again.

Hmmm... no help there. I don't have a Desire Z, so IDK how touch it is to root. But Insurance will surely cover it.

Rooting is not to bad. But there is all ways that risk that you might do something wrong. I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
On a plus note one of my mates has just offered to lend me his galaxy tab whilst I'm without a phone
