TyTn II woes

Hi All,
I've got a tytn 2 (kaiser) and its having some problems. Basically the keyboard is stuffing up (again) and it won't read SD cards. I've changed sd cards etc etc and still no joy. What I'm wondering is if there are parts that I can buy to fix this problem? I know I can buy a keyboard but can I dismantle the phone to fix the card reader side of things?
Its worth noting that I have also tried to reflash the phone from the micro sd card, and at that stage the device cant even read from the SD card. This makes me think its an actual hardware failure.
Thanks,
Lewis

So nobody can help me? D:

I can't offer much help here, but this topic will have at least some info that might help you out.

Oh ok that helps. So where would I get parts for my kaiser? SD card reader etc.

Unfortunately I have no clue....
I would say check the threads about replacing the LCD panel, and the stores that have that, or the digitizer might have the LCM (Lower Control Module) that has the SD card slot

I've seen digitizers and housings -- but I'm afraid that for a lot of parts you'll have to buy an old Kaiser...

I have an LCM with a damaged flexi, the sd card slot should be fine, not sure how easy it would be to remove, or replace, it may be possible to do this if you have access to professional desoldering tools, or know someone who can do this for you.

Yeah well I got the kaiser to pieces, not sure how to get it back together lol
I think this will be my last HTC device. Looking at how it is made, the phone is 40% screws and 60% glue. It makes sense that when the device would warm up sufficiently that the glue would go everywhere. It just seems shoddily built.
I'll attempt to put it back together for one last boot to get my contacts etc however i'm not that hopeful. I think I'll be jumping to the nokia n900.

[Q] SD Card issues with N1 after taking apart for screen clean

I've searched quite a bit and didn't find anyone with the same issue. I even told my mother she was lying to me about my being special (as recommended by the "NOOB video").
I took my N1 apart according to a very thorough youtube tutorial and cleaned the lcd and touchscreen because I had dust coming in around the corners. Before this, there were no problems running CM7.2 and my 16gb generic class 6 micro sdhc card worked with not a single issue. Afterward, as I marveled at my beautifully clean screen, I began to notice that the card would eventually stop working, not loading programs, wouldn't allow me to save anything to it, etc. I've tried a 8gb toshiba class 4 card and a generic 2gb class 2 card. The only one that seems to have any stability is the 2gb card, where I can install apps for the first few minutes of the card reading to it, and then it's done. I can't save maps to it or take pictures. Music wasn't accessible. I've reformatted in windows (fat32) and checked for errors with all the cards. No problems. The 16gb card eventually threw out corrupted card errors, which Windows could fix.
The 2gb card works thus: the apps I've managed to move there (by installing on the phone and then rebooting & moving to sd asap after the reboot) all work. Kindle works, my Bible, etc. etc. all the apps work. Maps can't access the maps I've downloaded, but otherwise loads just fine. I sometimes can take a picture or two, but usually the camera says I need to insert an sd card to use the camera (even though the 2gb card is inserted). 8gb and 16gb cards don't work (as described in the previous paragraph).
Not sure what the deal is. Could I have screwed up the sd/SIM ribbon cable when taking the phone apart? replacements are cheap (like $6.50 shipped on ebay), but have I destroyed more than that? Should I take care of the problem using software fixes instead? Thanks for your input.

Bump. I'd really like to get some input before deciding to gut it again
Thanks!

solved?
I believe I have it working, but want to let it run for longer to be sure (sometimes things stopped working after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours). I took the phone apart and took off the copper foil that went around the SIM & SD card slots. It was mashed up a bit from earlier disassembly and my guess is that it was shorting out some contacts on the pcb beneath it.
So far I seem to be able to take pictures & video, utilize my cached maps, use programs, and play music as I had been able to before. This is all on the 2gb card, however. I'll work on switching over to the 16gb card soon to see whether the problem is gone forever.
Just a side question - will removing the copper-colored foil endanger my phone in any way? I'm guessing it was in place as some sort of shield, but I've seen quite a few disassembled phones on the interwebz without that foil in place. Any advice there?

ok so I repair phones for a living and to be honest, sometimes its just not feasible to put that copper foil back and I have really never noticed any negative effects from removing it. you should be good to go man.

Well, it seems to be solved! I've been using the 16gb card (it's actually a Strontium card, not a no-name) for a few days and have also discovered using an ext3 partition to make more space for apps. Running without a hitch!

MicroSImCard doesnt Fit, help plz!

Hey,
just got my Z1 yesterday, everything runs fine. Expect I cant fit the Micro Sim Card into the Slot -,-. WTF. I tried it several times and it's always stuck and i cant close the cover of the Micro Sim Card Slot. I got a delicate dissecting forceps with which I can pull it out again, but seriously, if it doesnt work im going to get the Samsung S4 Active.
EDIT: OFC Im using the MicroSim "Adapter" which is integrated in the MicroSIM slot!
Never had such problems with any phone yet...
Any advice/ experience?
Thx in advance,
TCIG

Are you trying to put it in the sd card slot?
The sim card slot is on the opposite side to the charger slot.
I also found it has to go in just one way and it goes in easily. If you have to force it, turn it round or turn it over
Its all there in the instruction booklet you got with the phone

Thx for ur answer. Im not trying to put it in te sd card slot. Micro Sim Slot it right upper the Power Button. Unfortunately the instruction booklet doesnt help me, because im following the instructions just like displayed.
Thx Anyway, maybe its just problem of the phone as it doesnt slides in easily...
Heading for an S4 active, because I think it fits my hands better, still its more fragile...

Okkk, the fool speaks again: I rly got it to put it in the wrong way! The thick end of the SIM card adapter should be head to the top of the phone. I always put it in to the bottom of the phone -,-.
Thank u gregbradly, u rly helped me .
So typical for me...

[Q] Damaged sd card? Using phone daily basis

Hi
So I've never taken out my micro sd card since day 1 and over 2 years it has been fine, then I noticed a year later that my xperia z started to have mount/unmount issues with the sd card and couldn't read it.
Then I tried to open it on my pc, samething, unreadable.
So what could have caused this? I barely drop my phone at all, I always keep my phone in a dry place, no moist or hot areas. Because I'm scared to invest into another 50$ sd card and having the samething happen again. Has anyone experienced this before?

i dont know what might have caused that but another member said:The only thing I cared about were the pics so I tried 3 different adapters, still didn't work. I ended up cleaning the contacts with alcohol (TINY bit on a q-tip) and put the adapter in the reader, THEN the micro SD card. After about a dozen times inserting/removing it finally read the stupid card. I dont know if it will work for you but just in case:http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/storage/3481659/how-get-files-off-corrupt-sd-card/

Micro SD Card Issue

I have the latest Kindle Fire 8 (OS 5.6.0.0) and I am having an issue with the SD card slot. Sometimes the cover will open when I am not trying to open. It doesn't open very far, but it is far enough open that the card will move enough that it will not be read by the tablet. I am a little worried that I could lose the card because of this if it happens when I am not paying attention. I suppose I could put a piece of tape over the cover but that seems like an inadequate way to fix the issue, and the tablet is a recent enough purchase that it still has a warranty on it. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and how they resolved it.

If the card can move the slot cover, it may be not properly inserted - there's a spring to help remove it. When inserting, you should hear a slight click sound, and the card should not move on its own anymore.
