Hi everyone, I have just recently had my screen replaced on my xda IIi which now works fine but unfortunatly now there is no sound? is it possible to dislodge the speaker when replacing the screen or is this something that cant happen easily - any thoughts will be helpfull before I take it back, I dont want to be mugged for a speaker if at all possible, thanks.
re
its possible that the speaker got out of its place when the screen was being put in place..or its not properly connected to the board...if you could risk it..you can jus open it up and check for yourself..it isnt that difficult..ive been doing ti for like a 100times..n my xda2i still works perfect...i dnt think its a big problem and can easily be fixed..just give it a try

thanks for the advice - ill have a tinker
Dont know if anyone else is feeling this way but I ve failed to turn the device on a little to often from the power button sitting so low. But just to throw it out there, I bought the nice transparent back -black/frame case from T-Mo and now like a breeze no more problems with switching the power on. And also the camera button people been saying "is to hard to press" is a breeze as well.
Yep, I've found this as well. Kind of glad its not just my device and its just a design thing. Its ok, slightly annoying, sure I'll get used to it.
It gets better overtime... either that or I just got used to it.
another reason why I am getting the venue pro
Yeah but it works for me, though. When I used my Touch Pro2, I always hit the power button accidentally while in my pocket. The HD7 is less likely to do this.
I just got it today so I'll update if anything changes.
DJ Lu - Was the case you got at T-Mo an HD7 specific case or was it for some other phone? I'm looking for a nice case for the phone if anyone has any good suggestions for here in the USA.

I'm not sure which case he's using, but I bought the T-Mobile HD7 case that they had in-store, it's this case: http://mobilitydigest.com/speck-case-available-for-windows-phone-hd7/
It makes the power and camera button a lott easier to turn on.
@Jonded, yes its a specific case for HD7. @ace its just like that one but with a transparent back. But yes it fits perfectly And it dont look cheap at all..

Quite liking that. Will need to find a UK distributor.
Guess I have to be different. But I like the fact that the button's flushed because I tend to keep my phone in my pocket. This reduces my chance of powering the device accidentally, like I used to do with my Touch Pro2.
Agreed, I used to do this a lot with my HD2, turn it on and butt call people. i think its more of the fact that the button is on a bit of a slanted edge, so you just have to press it at an angle. For example, if you are looking at your phone, you have to press the button slightly at an angle away from you, not just down
im actually returning my hd7 for that reason .. not only power button the camera button too .. hard to take a pic ..i dont see it lasting more than 6 month pressing it the way u have to in order to take a pic..gonna return it and wait for the dell. or switch to att and get samsung...

Just buy the case T-Mobile has for it, it makes the buttons a lot easier to press, they actually feel normal. You'll probably want a case on your phone anyways. If you like the Dell for another reason, then go for it.

Hi there,
I am from Singapore and there is NO CASE for HD7 at all. I tot the case you bought looks great. I was just wondering if you are able to help purchase 1 for me, and then mail it to me? I can take care of all the payments through paypal if you are fine with it?

Sorry, I can't do that for you, I'm only 18 and still living with my parents, my mom would think it's weird if I mailed something to someone online. She's not very trusting like that, I am though. Maybe someone else could do it for you.

If you can't get it done. Here is a case from Fommy that will be available on the 27th of this month. Probably about the same time it will take to get it shipped to you I'm about to order one myself and it's WAY cheaper than the 30 bucks tmobile wants for their subpar cases. http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+HD7&cat=cases&skuno=89932
Hey guys, my old and trusty galaxy S amoled screen shattered somehow, and I do not want to repair the phone as who knows the internal parts might die anytime?
Does anyone know of other uses for such a phone? Or is replacing the screen the only way out to make full use out of it?
It's interesting to see a phone model 2 years old still has so much development going on

If you're handy with things like this, a replacement screen is about $80, which isn't too bad. Pretty big pain to do it though. On the other end of things, if you're half decent with a linux terminal (or willing to learn a bit), ADB will be your best friend here.
EDIT: Also unless you mess something up internally or do something really wrong flashing it, it won't just die on you.

Had the same problem... i changed the display module for a new one... it's one with the glass so you need to replace the whole display
and believe me ... it's worth it... en really not exspensive!! just google it
and when replaced ...turn on the device en you'll see that NOTHING of data,pics,music etc. is lost...
sorry for my not to good english.

Hi, I had the same issue few months ago. At that time, I found that you can buy a replacement display on e-bay, but most users claimed it was not an AMOLED display.
Also, in my case, I was not able to connect to the phone by ADB.
For those reasons I then decided to send the phone to the Samsung repair center. The only problem was that they wiped the phone (they did a factory reset). However, I didn't loose any picture I have saved on the phone. The phone is happily working and running CM10 nightlies
regards,
marco
I have a broken touchscreen (still works but is badly scatert)
So can i only replace touchscreen?
So not can i just put a new lcd with touchscreen on it. (I have amoled one is it posible to put lcd on it?) Because i know amoled is a pain to.findd parts.
Hello everyone,
I need some help. I live in Dubai and I'm going to buy a Z1 in the coming days. My problem is - I want to know how to tell straight away whether my phone is the one with a defective yellowish tint or a normal brilliant sony display. Im more or less a noob and reading through the threads here I haven't been able to ascertain this and instead have been left quite confused.
I was hoping one of the experts on here could help me come up with a quick way (e.g. turning it on and checking for a setting or firmware etc.) or even just turning it on and looking for something in particular. This is something I can quickly do in the retail outlet without waiting till I get home and then coming back and fighting with the store (as is commonplace in the middle east haha). I had the Z before and now I'm using a horrible horrible BB Z10 and the only thing stopping me from walking into a store and picking up the Z1 is this!
Thanks in advance.
Hello!
You can go to setting > about device > diagnostics > test device > scree and see if I is white or yellowish, if you ware not sure about it, go to the same place on the phone showed for testing and compare them.
Regards,

Checked it one month ago in Sony Store at Dubai Mall (right ahead when You come from rail-station "Dubai Mall" entering the mall). Compared exhibit devices with my Z1: all the same brilliant screens ............... people were quite nice there, shouldn´t be a problem to check Your purchased device: if screen is pure white and sharp under the illumination at Dubai Mall Your device is okay. Maybe You can ask them to let You check against a Galaxy Note in the store opposite to Sony´s when You leave a full deposite ...............
Greetings ...............
Lolol lots of people who had white screens noticed yellow hue after fw change... IMHO all screen are the same, just need to adjust colors....

Hey guys,
I had my p20 pro for nearly 3 years now, I've cracked the back glass and replaced it myself, but the adhesive is not sticking properly so it's defo not water tight any more.
I'm thinking about replacing it, but still haven't found anything that's worth going for, like taking pictures with my phone, so that's probably quite important. I would stay huawei like P40 but the lack of Google store is a problem for me.
I want to avoid 5g phones, or at least be able to completely switch the 5g radio off, but I don't really know if you can. I have my reasons so let's not get caught up with that.
Suggestions please
