Hello
I was removing the hp cover to make some pics to sell my TP
And, this just popped out ? =o

Is that for 3/4g version or the TP ?
Mine is only wifi, but, I can't get that to stay in place :s
Any idea how to ? Should I push harder ? if it works as microsd in some other device ? =o, didn't push really strong yet but think it would be in if it was this system, but agian, I'm not sure
Would sux if it stayed this way, tablet is in perfect condition, no cracks near speakers, only a few light scratch on the back, perfect screen, don't really wanna lower price because that thing
Thanks
Just push it in firmly(It is a spring type lock) , it has no use apart from having the serial # of the device .
Great thanks, it worked
I feel a bit stupid now, but didn't want to risk it without being sure

I dont have the phone here (its the gf's) but when i had the battery cover off it looked like there were 2 identical ports next to each other. one is labeled GPS on the back cover but the other doesnt open to the back cover. whats that one for? is that for an external wifi antenna? that'd be tits!
also, does anyone know if the current 3D driver plays nicely with the 6.1 update from AT&T? i dont see THAT rom mentioned on the class action website.
now some other questions...
any time frame for a 2D driver?
how long till theres a nice linux distro that'll run on it (i know the cpu is relatively weak compared to even lowend desktop and mobile cpu's that linux currently runs on)
and finally...how drop tolerant is it? my gf has butter-fingers sometimes and doesnt keep it in a case (imma kill her for that one). i'd like if it survived till she got tired of it or till its outdated enough that she moves on...because then i get to play with it ALL i want. i'd LOVE a nice portable internet device with gps capability for free, but will it ever be bootable without a sim card or a calling plan? i hope that oneday it will be!

The 2nd port is for the cell phone antanna I here that if you use it, it can sometimes get stuck and cause you to have to always use an external antanna to get service
Im an electrician and the 1st day I got my phone I was on top of a 5' latter and the case got hung on something and opend causeing the phone to drop about 7' to a tile floor,dident hurt mine (thank god) but I wouldent recommend droping it the screens are fragile
I dont think anyone knows if or when were getting the 2d drivers

thanks for the fast reply and your drop sounds like it was pretty harsh. by zeus himself im going to get her a case. she works in cars all day and leaves it in her pocket or out on the workbench, the camera glass is already all scratched to hell from her pocket. i swear she makes problems for me to fix them...
speaking of, when i updated it to wm 6.1 i had made a backup using sprite, then i restored the backup after the wm6.1 update. well i did a dum dum and restored EVERYTHING the backup saved! so this caused all kinds of errors and problems and she was very pissed and instead of letting me fix it...she drove 30 minutes in the rain to the att store with me being pulled behind her by my ear (almost literally). some chubby guy played with the phone for about 45 minutes and then said 'i've never seen this before, its totally broke. the wm6.1 update you installed wasnt compatible' i told him it was the official one from the att website to which he said 'yea well its not for THIS device, you'll need to send it in for warranty'...yea OK. so NOW my gf is STEAMED! we go to get some chinese takeout. while waiting the 15 minutes i do a hard reset and only restore the contacts list. i hand her the phone and say 'the warranty dept is done with your phone ma'am'
she likes 6.1 much better and with some tweaks from kaiser tweak it runs pretty quick! the only thing that still pains me is the page tearing due to lack of 2d driver
Hello there,
Today it was a little rainy in PL. I was talking on my BA when it simply stopped working. I thought it was because of the rain - some water must have got inside the device, and I was right. On the bus stop I reseted it and everything seemed to be fine, except that all the time for example the contact list was going down (same in the menu, i have wm 6.5). I don't know if in the oryginal theme would it also be like this, because I don't use one.
Anyway, after I got home I put my mobile in front of the heater and got rid of all remaining water ( I think so). But the touch screen isn't working anymore. I removed the screen protector, both soft and hard reseted it, finally installed a new system- nothing worked. Is there anything I can do, i.e put it again in front of the heater? May it have some results?
On the screen there is some kind of mark, I think this is after the water was on the screen. I'm very surprised, because few times before tea felt on my phone, also the rain - nothing happened.
How can I divide completely crushed screen from only the digitalizer broken?
In the attachments there are photos of screen, which looks normal. Everything on the screen displays properly, however I can't get it to respond to my stylus/finger.
Any help will be appreciated
oh man that sucks :-( have you dried the screen as soon as you could like with a hairdrier (not to close to the device and not too hot)... have you like hard reseted it? Maybe if left a few hours it may work? That's what I would try but maybe there is someone here who has experience with this and can help you get it fixed... good luck.
The screen looks ok, it simply doesn't respond to any kind of input. It displays even the beginning of personalizing your phone - "tap the screen to..." - I just can't tap the screen :S
that big c shaped shadow on pic 1 and 4 looks to me like there is a bit of water between the display's glas layers. as these layers are thin and very close together, it's probably just a few milliliters and it is probably not a good idea to spread these apart to spill the drop.
i'm sorry i don't have a precise plan how to get rid of it. just try to dry it a little more.
good luck saving the device. if you are unable to save it and you are in poland, make sure to check ebay germany. there are 5-10 blueangels being sold every day and they vary from 30-60eur, so not too expensive to buy a second one
.
Oh man...
I think you had overheated the digitizer...
In my opinion all you can do is to buy a new screen with digitalizer or maybe only new digitalizer...
Iam sorry...
How do you deal with not having to use an SD card? I use it all the time with switching phones between my Viva(Opal) and Touch(Elf) both of which are... "nonoperational" anymore so I am deciding whether this phone would be the best phone for me since money is kinda an issue. Any additional comments about the phone would be welcomed but right now this is my only dilemma regarding buying the phone now
Not a big deal... In pen drive mode you can move data quickly. 4 gig is enough for navi stuffs, a couple of movies, mp3 albums and pics. For the first time I found the built in mem a stupid thing, but after 1.5 yrs of use, it is proven to be enough and never had issues with it. Very nice pda (still the most handsome), solid built with razor sharp display.
Still love my diamond. just like my trinity...
@ OP
PRO'S :
- Internal memory is 4 Gig , so like the above member said , its quite enough for all your applications.
- Its doesn't get wiped out while changing ROM
- Doesn't get stolen
- Transfers are fast , not extremely fast but , quite enough
Con's :
- No more space... if u are a heavy user you will run outta space at some point .
- some users get a problem like after HARD SPL the internal storage wont show up.
I've been using diamond for more than 6 months and still i have some 2.1 GB free space..( i dnt listen to music on my fone )
Its the best in its class..the screen is just brilliant go for it
Until it breaks
Hi, I would have agreed, except if you get a glitch you've lost the contents of the 4gb "card"
Had mine for almost 2 years, absolutely love the quality and resolution of the display. TomTom western Europe uses up way too much memory though (almost 3gb).
(I ended up clipping it in front of an aircon outlet in the car, with the back off, to try and make it last a full journey without overheating; but that's another subject)
I dropped mine towards the end of a family break, during which I'd taken all my photos with the phone, so unless I find a way to physically hack in to hardwire onto the memory chip I've lost some lovely memories.
With a removable card that wouldn't have been an issue, insurance replaces the phone and you just swap the card.
I think they did it to avoid the dry connection problems that are possible with sliding contacts.
You'll learn to love the phone, the screen makes me forget all the little personality disorders that WM6 brings along.
Cheers
Luke
Oh thats cool cause I only use a 4gb microsd and it fits everything I need. Mainly just backups and cabs for applications since I'm a heavy ROM installer
I have someone who has had this phone for a little while and returned it because the backcover was comming off too easily and did not like that at all. Any comments on the backcover?
No comments on the back cover.. even if you carry it in a pouch , its bound to go... cant do anything about it..

No problems with it. I don't swap sim cards frequently, so no need to remove the back cover. Stays just like normal. Battery lasts for 2 days (3G off), no built in memory issue for me, the only thing a I don't like is the power button. Otherwise this the perfect phone for me. I upgraded the stock 1.93 rom to stock 2.03 and the old 1.00.25 radio to 1.17 and just excellent. I got gps fix within a few seconds. Have to mention, that I use this handheld as a regular phone, for other pda purposes there is my old trinity.
cool ...
Sounds good, Thanks a lot guys! you cleared up, I think, all of my questions
, Happy flashing
Bought one, got it, and now I'm going to start my work on it, SO EXCITED. this phone really is just awesome and the backcover thing doesn't seem that bad... Thank you all again
I was flashing a rom the other day (that i had flashed in the past and worked fine) and then i noticed that the touchscreen did not work. (everything else worked)
i flashed back to the cyanogen rom and my touchscreen still did not work.
(when i say my touchscreen doesnt work i mean that i cant touch anything, not even the android to set up my phone)
the trackball works but i am FORCED to touch the android and i cant
ive been flashing and still no luck, any ideas on what happened to my touchscreen or any ideas on how to fix it?
please help!!
I've seen a few of the threads. More than likely your touch screen has died (hardware issue - not software) and I'm not sure if that's replaceable.
Ask a technision :/ like the guy above said its proble the tS died may need replacement or ribbon isnt connected rite .
So whats my best bet in going about this?
i dont know what to do :/
if you feel like your able to take apart the phone and replace the screen, you could always try it. either that or buy a new phone or possibly a cell phone repair shop if you even have one.
i decided to kinda drop it.
it works now...
thanks for your help anyways guys!
D:
I wouldn't be DROPPING it to fix it...
Problem is probably a badly seated ribbon cable, which means it is STILL not well seated and will probably happen again.
Look in the screen hinge as you're sliding the screen open -- see the little ribbons in there? Probably got yanked a little.
OK I have been using my N1 for almost 2yrs now. I love it, but out of nowhere the connections on bluetooth, wifi, 3G, and occasionally cellular drop. Coincidentally it happened when 2.3.6 was released and I refused (updated since no change) the update. When I use my bluetooth headset I'm told I sound like I am underwater. I installed CM7 thinking that would solve it (maybe it's a stock ROM issue) but it was still the same. I can put my phone next to the router and still show (1bar) a poor connection .
OK so what can I do to fix this? I don't want to purchase a new phone (besides this glitch it looks mint) right now. Also I don't really have the cash for it either. Someone said the antenna may be loose (don't know how that would happen) and I could open it up and fix it.
Now you all Mod software but has anyone actually opened up an N1 and is there really a way to tighten the antenna? Please let me know if anyone else has had this issue or is there a way to test for a solution.
Thanks
A little more info
Was just on a cell call and noticed that the green cellular indicator turned white (no idea if that's related) it is back to green now and full. However this seems to be a pattern of being green 3G and Cell strength to white. Hope that provides so more info to someone trying to help me.
Green/white is an indication of connection to Google servers, nothing else.
Radio is only responsible for 3G data, bluetooth and WiFi are completely different entities and aren't related to radio. If you're experiencing bad reception - most probably your antenna contacts need cleaning or are misplaced, open the lower cover (not the battery one) and look there (this cover IS the antenna - just don't know which one).
Special tools?

OK found a teardown on youtube of the Nexus one so I understand the antenna is on the bottom. However it looks like they used a special tool to open the case on the bottom. Where would I get that? Also considering I paid for it outright (yep unsubsidized direct from Google); even if I'm out of warranty would you recommend (if this is something more complicated) I send it to HTC for repair? Someone else said the Broadcom chip may have gone bad if both the wifi and bluetooth seem to stop working or have poor reception. Not sure if that seems correct since if it went bad I would think it wouldn't work at all but before I make tool marks trying to take it apart I figured I'd ask.
I'm not sure the repair will be worth it, financially.
If you want to open the lower part of the case - you may only need a small flat screwdriver and good hands, to avoid scratching the surface.
Something else now
OK now voice dial command isn't working when I hold the bluetooth button. Maybe indeed it is the chip. I was able to take off the plastic cover but I need to get a T5 screw driver (lol for some reason smallest I have is T6) so I will get one tomorrow and see how it goes. There is one more cover to remove and put back on. Financially since I paid full price I'm not sure why it's not worth fixing? I figured HTC would charge around $100 for a repair. Which is less than going price for a new (i.e. Galaxy Nexus II) phone . Also I haven't seen any new phones with a trackball (which I love for the notifications and when I need precise movement) so I really don't want a new phone till they add something like an optical trackball or improve precision on finger location. Also I might get lucky if the credit card I purchased it on will cover a repair (they double warranties) and I still have a few months left.
Nope!

OK got the required tools and took it apart (both covers on the bottom) and then re-assembled it back, making sure I seated the vibrator motor back carefully. Turned on the wifi and still have same issue. So guess my phone is broke further than I can repair it. Thanks for your advice but unless there is software to check that chip it looks like only option is HTC.
Yes, looks like it might be damaged beyond the home repairs capability.
Financially - If I were you, instead of spending $100 on Nexus One repair, I'd sell it for parts for $70 or so, added the $100 you wanted to spend on the repair, and bought a used MT4G in good condition. You'll lose colored trackball (and get a trackpad - which, if you use Sense ROMs that this phone runs perfectly, will be absolutely useless), but gain WAY better phone, in just about every aspect you can think of. The same applies to any phone you can get for cheap from "outdated" MSM8x55 family - Desire HD/Desire Z/G2/Desire S (some of them aren't compatible with T-Mobile frequencies, put attention). I know this from first hand experience, since until recently I had 3 of them - Nexus One, MT4G, and Desire S for my wife. Guess which phone did I get rid of?
But - just in case you'll want to follow this advice and settle specifically on MT4G - make sure you read MT4G forums thoroughly before you do. There are 2 weak points for MT4G - the screen (more important) and the eMMC chip (less important, but still counts). Both can come in 2 variations, better and worse. Make sure you choose the better.
