Hello,
I think HTC Kaiser's screen is too delicate. Mine got cracked yesterday very easily. I've had many PDA phones and it never happened to me.
Does anyone know where can I get a replacement screen?
Thanks,
Mario.
How did it crack, you pushed too hard when trying to use TouchFlo? it fell. Cause there has to be a reason that gives you the impression the screen is too delicate
ha ha, that sucks
Well, depending on how long you've had it, maybe it's covered under the 30 day warranty for return? I can't imagine how someone could break it, so it sounds like manufacturing defect to me??
Sound good to you??
Give it a try....
Let us know how it happened and if you get it fixed!
Good luck!
And to Doug2873... Don't make the guy feel worse than I'm sure he already does!!

do you have any other parts?
When I read certain posts in these forums, I wonder: So annoying online.... what it would be like to meet these people in real life? Although I guess everybody has one of these in their office...

Amen I agree

Thank you all for your replies...I live in Mexico City and currently I'm in the US and there's no way of getting a replacement screen. HTC asked me to ship them the unit and they would charge between $170 and $350 USD for fixing it.
njbridges: I sent you a PM with my contact info.
I think we need a hard case for this device. Has anyone seen one?
Mine cracked because someone pushed me and I fell on it.
Thanks!
Regards,
MN
I think if SOMEONE fell on any PDA out there, the screen cracks is no wonmder. i think...
I read a Post where someone have cracked his PDA (i think mda3) because it feld off off the front window on his car and down to the gearbrick(?).. and it cracks the screen 2times.
I don´t have the feeling that the screen is more sensible as other screens...
Sorry for the engl. i´m from germany.

I too cracked my screen pretty traumatized about it, superiorgadgets is looking into it, but I will pm njbridges as well as a backup.
I'm unable to get the cracked screen out of the device, I have all the screwdrivers but I can't find a way of opening the Kaiser.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337102
Mine just cracked today, for no reason. It has never been dropped or abused, it's in new condition, not a nick or scratch on it, I'm extremely careful. It was on the counter charging and I went to take it off the charger and saw the screen was cracked. I called ATT and they told me I'm SOL, it would be $498 to repair.
yeah if u are comfortable best bet do it yourself and save $300-$400
I found the part for about $100 from another member here. I'm tempted to just replace it and sell this phone. While I loved the 8525, I haven't been particularly happy with the 8925. Maybe it would be better with newer firmware, but I won't know now unless I replace the screen. I wonder what it's worth for parts......
Mine has never been dropped, but after reading how easy is to break it I'm really concerned...
I have dropped my old 8125 like 10 times and it's still working like the first day...
I just ordered the replacement screen from njbridges today. I'll post after I've received the parts and add my 2 cents. If anybody is going to break something in this replacement process, it will be me. I'm completely inept at using tools. I can barely even change the batteries in my kids' toys.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for an new / almost new / as new Kaiser to substitute my 1 yr old Vodafone v1605 aka HTC TyTn. I was tempted from the Diamond too but I think I couldn't live withouth the qwerty right now!!
So I ask you all some help to take my decision...
My budget is limited and as you can see I live in Italy where those devices cost ""an entire eye of your head"", as we say here , I still see TyTn at 600 / 700€ and TyTn II at 849 / 899€ in some shops and the minimal for the Kaiser I've seen is 799€ I can't absolutely afford
Of course I'm looking for get help from our best friend ebay and I see many XDA Stellar or Mda Vario III 2nd hand in great condition (or so is stated) at around 300 to 350€ shipped from UK(what I paid for my uk refurb TyTn).
I've just noticed the same device is produced by AT&T as 8925 and its prices are sometimes 150€ less if bought from U.S.A., even if I don't know if I'll have to pay custom's taxes on arrive!
I see many sites say the only difference is the missing front camera but...but reading the wiki here, it seems that putting a Kaiser rom onto an 8925 is buggy/problematic/gets the device work worst than before!?
At the opposite, I've seen many users telling they did put an htc rom onto at&t pda with no prob of sort!
So I'm VERY confused
What's the truth?
Ok, it can be unfunny to unlock an at&t at first, no prob for this, but after that, will I be able to try any rom I see here in the forums, as I was doing and still am with my TyTn?
What do you think about the prices I mentioned? Have you paid your Kaiser OR 8925 less or more? Which one do you suggest? Considering I've no prerogatives, do you suggest me to wait some more time like Christmas or so on to find better deals?
Many thanks to all willing to give me some help to do the next step
I tried many different roms (official/cooked ATT/HTC) on my AT&T Tilt and no problem so far. Beside the front camera, the keyboard layout is different and U could found a cab to solve it. (U could look at my signature for that)
Thanks bro,
just a few other questions.
What's a fair price for a brand new and for a 2nd hand tilt?
I see many 2nd hand tilt on eb for around 300$...isn't it a bit too much?
Oh, what about the sim-lock instead?
I found many threads saying at&t really gives you the unlock code at the phone but...will I, from Italy, be able to have it ""so easily""(assuming I understand spoken English) by calling in u.s.a.?
What about unlocking it by myself, is it possible for free or not, I'm still not sure after reading some threads!?
I just replaced my European TyTNII with an unlocked US version of the TyTNII. I got the US version through Newegg.com, I'm not sure if they ship where you live.
The phone is the exact same as the Tilt it is missing the front camera and the keyboard is different.
I swear the US version is built better thatn the European one and it comes with 6.1 installed already.
$300 is a great price. The tilt is $450 NIB w/o contract.
550 euro....tenuto...maniacalmente?? con un anno abbondante di garanzia residua...
Thanks to all for the help!
Just to update my story ... I was very nearly going for a tilt when I noticed GREAT offers from my own mobile operator H3G!
Well, actually it's great for my who currently pay 9€/month for 50MB/day of internet (Naviga3).
Since I'm very happy with it, there's an offer of a new EU TyTn II at 399€ with a subscription for 2 years at the promotional cost of 14,16€/month forever (instead of 29) with 1Gb/month and a lot of free calls (I presumably will have to pay only SMS and the 0,15€ fee at call opening (don't know how you say it, sorry )).
Also, there is a Diamond for LESS : 299€, same plan...
Actually, I'm really confused and don't know which one to choose...I love my qwerty but, you know, diamonds shine...ok, now for long with 900mAh
I'm also considering the option to sell my TyTn and wait for the Raphael to see what's its price with my op...this offer ends within the end of September, don't know if they will add it in time!
Perhaps I should ask some diamond users coming from qwerty if it they can live without it!
@sharkonholiday
Assolutamente troppo! Grazie comunque.
Can't afford! Thanks anyway.
Where can I found The cab for USA-->ITALIAN keyboard??
I payed my tytn II on Ebay USA about 270 euros NEW!!
:°D ancora devo provarlo sto aspettando sto caspita di corriere *_*
[FONT="][/FONT]@ [FONT="]templare3000[/FONT]
Wow, that's a great price! Let me know if it's all right!!
For the keyboard, if you own a Tilt (AT&T brand) I think you need this cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911 but keyboard will not become "italian", simply it'll work as it should
Oh, perhaps you need a cab to install the t9 Italian dictionary and so on, don't you? If you need, just ask, its on my microsd already
p.s. a parte che mi sento stupido a parlare inglese quando siamo entrambi italiani...ma queste sono le regole...sentiamoci via pm/email o anche msn ok? Fammi sapere se è andato tutto a buon fine...sarei curioso di vedere se il venditore ne ha altri ad un prezzo simile, se me lo indichi via pm o email mi fai un favore, grazie Per qualsiasi altra cosa chiedi pure!!
@all
any advice is the welcome

Well guys, I still have got to decide between Diamond and TyTn II
I'm confused and I'm proud I have been recently, since the price of both has gone to 199€ and 299€ respectively (100€ less for both)...
hey, i was in the same situation as you recently, i bought a sealed brand new v1616 (tytn II) off ebay for £200, just put my vodafone sim in and everything works great, would def recommend.

Scrap the Diamond idea and get a Diamond-based ROM for the TyTN (I'm currently using L26 8/27/08 Diamond-based ROM and I LOVE it.)
I personally love my TILT. I've cycled through several makes and models of phones (Motorola, Nokia -sadly-, Samsung, HTC) through the years and have to say I've been more than impressed by my TILT above all others. I bought mine off of Ebay myself when my Wizard (8125) got trashed (it was my 3rd Wizard too...lol) and got it for $380, s&h included so $300 is a sweet deal.
Only problem I run into w/ the TILT is simple expected issues that arise when you go from branded to cooked ROMs. Simple things like a TyTN-based keyboard input even though my physical keyboard is still "TILTed" but that gets fixed with a simple cab file.
The only other thing I could even say is that the Kaiser is left-handed (whyyy???! lol) and it's a pain in my butt since I'm right-handed BUT once you adapt (which takes all of 2 days) then you rarely ever notice it.
All in all, I love my phone and so will you =]
They made a real solid unit when they built this thing. Only thing my phone doesnt do that I could use is microwave food for me (and I'm sure with some tweaks it might actually pull THAT off too! haha!)
So try out your Kaiser before you scrap it back on Ebay. Once you play with it and flash yourself a new ROM then you'll be up and running. Just make sure to HardSPL your phone and invest in a free copy of Sprite Backup cab and make a full copy of your phone before flashing and you'll be good to go!
Good luck no matter which one you pick. HTC rarely goes wrong on any phone they make. Keep us updated on which one you pick in the end.
Best regards,
HTCOmega
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate every single line
I've taken a "so-called" decision about what I am going to do.
Well, Diamond is style only and I understand I would still LOVE my TyTn with Diamond-based ROMs I am already using (abusalza's rulez, it flies now) if only it stays switched on all the time.
I've opened it so many time and I got the situation much better but actually it often switches off while I drive, and rarely switches off while I walk
I'm just here after 2h of bikeing and it remained switched on in my pocket for example.
The fact is that it's very annoying as it is now.
Thanks to an user in another thread (sorry, don't remember your name mate) I've tried a good site which I hope will help me to get it repaired by soldering by myself the battery connectors.
Having done this, is it a bad end or a new birth, I will see how much I can take and what I can buy.
Of course I will decide within the end of September, due to the end of the offer mentioned. Well, they've already postponed its end for 2 months, but I need a new phone and I don't like to risk: if it ends the abbo goes from 15 to 29 €/month and I can't afford!
I hope they'll sell the Raphael within the end of the month too, so I can consider buying it.
But you all convinced me: I need a qwerty, so
st choice: Raphael (if it's affordable!)
nd choice: TyTn II
last choice: Diamond.
Thanks guys!!
P.S. Two days ago I went to a shop near here and I saw a TyTn II in "super offer occasion etc..." and I asked for its price...the boy at the shop put it in my hands and lol, I was trying to open it from the right-side, WTF have they done lol??? I was thinking..mmh...that's a bad product, it's so hard to open it has to be damaged lol, then he showed me how to do...I felt so stupid!! You're right mate, HTC is strange sometimes haha
Anyway, it was 450 2nd hand (ok mint condition but used!)...no way
Ooh guys, just to let you know, I'm gone...just bought with/for my dad a Nokia N95 8gb, and I'm using it for me right now.
He wanted it and I will give it to him +/- in December, when I should decide what to buy for myself!
I saw TOO many news out there, and I didn't feel a TyTn II, is it Tilt or not, was the right choice with all these great new devices ready for the market!
Also, just some days after my findings, suddenly my funny operator raised the price up again of 100€ (299 diamond and 399 tytnII), and they are totally too costly considering there's a 2 years plan to pay
This 95 is a really great product, you know, it only misses a touch screen
Thanks for all your efforts and guidelines, will surely ask again when I'll be unsure again, within December
Hi,
The XDA Diamond of my little brother has some cracks between the display and the touch-surface. (see attachement)
I sent the device O2, but they (their service-partner) said "no warranty" and want ~ 300€ for the repair.
I just looked into the service-manual, because I thought about repairing it by myself.
But I think it's to difficult for me.
Now I wonder if anybody know a cheap mobile-shop, who can repair my Diamond.
I live in Cologne. My Brother (and my family) near Hannover. (both in Germany)
But Online-Shops are also good.
Thank you!
the screen is on ebay - item 230285205211. They also offer repairs
search for the dismantle guide (sorry don't have it to hand)
i also got cracks on my screen just like your brother....
I decided to order one of the replacement screen from ebay that comes with the needed tools to do it myself. i payed about 25 dollars including shipping and should receive it anytime from now.... If you r willing to wait , i ll post feedback on how hard it is to do it yourself.
About dismantling the diamond u ll find easily links from google.
Good luck!
how do the cracks actually appear in the first place?
was it the result of something the manufacturer might classify as "abuse" or "accidental damage"?
Often I pick up my phone (HTC Victor) and think that it feels quite fragile compared to something like the N95... so i treat it accordingly - ie, with a little more care..
I already looked throu the disamble guide.
@Sebienbon
It would be great, if you would post feedback and maybe photos of the repair process (step-by-step) wich are not in the disamble guide.
Meanwhile I will do one more try with the service partner.
@bobbified
It just happened. I think my brother carried the device in his trouser pocket (jeans) when he was riding by bike. But imo such a expensive phone should be strong enough.
Also theere is no damage on the outside.
@hays
Thanks. But I am not sure if this is the right part.
My LCD still works. All pixels are fine.
But the "whatever" between the LCD and touch-surface is cracked.
Thanks everybody so far
i just got the kit this morning but the screw driver is wrong( probably because of a different country , i live in denmark and the screen comes from asia... so i ll go buy a tiny screw driver that i miss and then give it a go
Hey,
I´ve got the same problem. But my Screen is more broken
Although it works.
I read the Service Manual too but im not sure if it works with this part:
http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-diamond-digitizer-p-2128.html
Because on the last Picture in the Manuel you see only the front part of the phone and nothing about the part linked above.
So I w`ont open it before I`m not sure whats exactly to do.
Also I asked some firms do make me an offer for repairing the mobile phone.
The best offer is 129,00 € or 169,00 € if the dismantling create scratches on the Display under the touch screen because they are glued.
Very expensive!
Now I´m waiting for your experiences too.

Man i wish i know of the manual to take this apart. You can fix it yourself if you take your time man, and dont be like me man. I took it apart thinking that the black tape under the battery is just tape!!!! And rip the mini-usb power ribbon. Man my heart sank.. So on that note if any of you guys know of a site or store to order parts from. please let me know also....
@lphar56
Is the diamond display made of glass and not the plastic stuff some other screens are made of???
The display is LCD so im guessing glas.. but it has a Touch Digitizer over the top.. that can scratch very easy and is only £15 off ebay

IF IT BREAKS, MAKE IT DISAPPEAR CLAIM FOR A STOLEN FONE
HTC diamond screen replacement
Hey guys!
AFAIK the cracks that appear are in the glass of the touch-screen-unit.
so i try to figure out how to replace this part only.
Is it glued to the LCD?
Which glue sould be used to fix it again?
Or does it even come with the screen?
I'd like to post a guide here if it works, so please help me answering this last question!
Also, replacing only the touchscreen would lower the repair cost to a third...
Thanks!
Still no update?? on the steps to remove digitizer?

you need to replace the digitizer but in this moment i don't know from where to buy one, i have o do some research, i know the answer is in this forum cause i read about it.
Buy one on ebay, there are many sellers selling those replacement parts.
Or buy an used Droid/Milestone, replace yours.
I have one functional digitizer (a used Droid), but there are scratches on it. Anyone interested?
in witch country?

Well, this is my first thread, if i got this in the wrong section, im really really sorry!
Like the title says, my display isnt working like it should, i can use the touch (even play music and stuff) but i cant see anything, do i need to buy a new display? If so, i searched for it and its selling like one piece, display and touch, and i dont know if im going to get scammed with the "repair" in a local store and just re-connect the display or something like that, i wanna know before i take the xperia to that place, a quick help guys! :good: :silly:
And again, im really sorry if i screwed this forum with a misplaced thread
(It got wet, then i just left it in the car with a ziploc filled with rice for a week, and powered it on, everything works but the display the soul of the xperia :/ )
Thanks for reading!

So its a little piece from the motherboard?! ): i was thinking that only a display-related stuff, not a tiny cristal from the motherboard ): that means everythibg in my Xperia v is going to get lost? ): the store told me that the fix of a new display is $600 in my country, (like 45-50 usd) but i wanna open it by myself and rebuild it from scratch, the thing is that i dont know how and i dont have the tiny screwdrivers xD
So, your advice? Remember, its a xperia v (lt25i)

Well you didn´t say that it was a v, but i guess that is the same problem but is wear cause v is water resistant unlike my tx, my advice y that you try out the display on another cellphone in my case the display wasn´t damaged so don´tspend your money without knowing well what´s wrong
Xda members, please help! share your experience if you had a similar or the same problem with your xperia v, i wanna fix it, im using a crappy phone while the other one is in a necessary vacation :crying:
Help a bro, and a bro will help you too :good: :laugh:
