OK, so I managed to break my A 70 LCD be rolling over it asleep on the sofa. Woe and despair. Anyway, problem now solved so I thought I'd do a quick guide.

I got the LCD replacement on Ebay - there are a bunch of sellers fpr about 85US including shipping - this compares to the Archos fix price of about 190.

All you need toolwise is a T5 screwdriver and disassemble the unit as per the Utube teardown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL7wTCBZ5m4&feature=player_embedded

The tricky part of the process - and hence this post - is taking the screen out of the casing and seperating the digitizer from the screen. The item you need for this is a hairdryer. After seperating the unit, you remove the screen and digitiser from the casing by going around the casing on the outside rim of the screen with the hairdryer and gently prise it out.

Then the only hassly part - the digitiser (The digitiser is the capacitive screen component) about 1mm thick and well glued to the LCD casing using soft sticky glue. Seperating this was a worry as whatever about the LCD, break the digitizer and you wont find one on ebay so it's Archos or the bin. Again, I went around with the hairdryer, carefully using a razor blade to seperate the two making sure the blade cut away the glue from the lcd casing without touching the digitizer glass.

That done (and the stress over) simply placed the digitizer (which has little markings all around for placement - didnt need any recallibration) and reassembled the unit.

The only thing was that it seemed to take a while for the touchscreen to work right, and I thought I had borked this somehow but just seemed to get working normally.

Anyway, hope this is useful to someone.
[Gen8 General] y2k-inc:
You don't actually to Remove the digitizer from the case, a simpler method is to separate the LCD from the digitizer by unclip the lcd metal clips around it, you will be able to just remove the LCD it self (back light etc can be put back) do the same with the new LCD, unclip those metal, remove the metal frame and put the new lcd into the old metal frame (which is glue to the digitizer and the digitizer is glue to the case).
[Gen8 General] machatta:
Yikes, I was worried about doing something like that but in taking apart the old lcd I see it's easy as pie.

Hope I won't need to do this again though.
[Gen8 General] iflip:
Ok so let me get this right. Archos does not cover accidental screen damage? and they would charge me $190 for repair?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
If you crash your car, do you get e free repair?
[Gen8 General] TjaXanK:
Dammn! I Broke mine yesterday, guess this guide will be useful for me after all...
[Gen8 General] y2k-inc:
Super easy to change the LCD on the 70, just take the time and do it slowly, for lcd order it's about $70USD :

Poo tried this and now the device won't turn back on :mad:
[Gen8 General] Unmensch:
The Screen of my Archos stopped registering my touches. It displays everything fine though.

I opened it to see if any cables loosened, which was not the case. I put it back together and it works not worse but also not better than before. If anyone could give me a hint which other parts I could check for this issue, this would be very appreciated.

Hello ,

Since my old HTC Artemis is dying slowly, I have bought an HTC HD2.

I am looking for a headset plugger(where I can plug in a 3.5mm headphone) which can connect to the HTC HD2 and has a mic, music control(play/ pause/ skip and call pick up/ cancel facility. I read through the old threads and the closest I came to was combining the original headset with another one.

Please suggest me a working one.

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] digiholic:
I would suggest bluetooth stereo headphones. They have the buttons to do all your music playing or phone calling all while your phone stays in your pocket. I use them religiously. I'm at work right now using them. Also use them with the bluetooth on my laptop.
[HD2 Accessories] RAMBO29:
Are there no wired sets who can do this as well?Bluetooth would be awesome had they not needed the battery to be charged.Which model do you use and recommend?
[HD2 Accessories] digiholic:
There are, but once you go wireless bluetooth you don't want to have wires again. I know I don't. I have a set of RocketFish. These specifically. I love them.

You can find in the ear sets also. The specific set you get should suit your taste. Just make sure it has buttons for call, play, forward, back, up vol and down vol. I can start/stop my music, skip forward and back through songs, answer or send a call to voicemail, start a call with voice dialer, and control the volume all with my phone in my pocket.
[HD2 Accessories] RAMBO29:
Hi

Thanks for the info.

Would you have a model number for this specific one?And it also has a built in mic?

Thanks
[HD2 Accessories] RAMBO29:
Finally

For those who might have th same questions:

I am going with Sony MW-600.Seems to work well with HD2 from other threads.

[HD2 Accessories] digiholic:
Rocketfish™ Mobile RF-MAB2 High-Definition Stereo Bluetooth Headphones - Black

Yes it has a mic. I use it for calls and have been told it sounds good on the other end.

*edit*

If anyone buys these... read the directions and change the sound settings. The last setting offers great sound for music, videos, and games.
[HD2 Accessories] digiholic:
Thanks for that. Been looking for an in the ear bud set for my woman. Might check these out.

[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
Hmmm, the stereo seperation seems as bad as I had heard it was - much less than the 3DS. I wonder if forcing the seperation in software can help enough to give decent depth to the photos as viewing them on my 3DS its really subtle and seems to strain my eyes more than usual. Lets hope partly its due to viewing them so low resolution compared to their native.

Why did they put the cameras so close together?
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
Rename the files to .jpg instead of .jps and view them in any image viewer you have installed.

It is simply 2 jpeg images side by side, taking a separate 2D image should be exactly the same as the left image in the jps stereo pair.
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
Just looked at the sample images on a 50 inch plasma with 3d glasses. Separation is good.

Some of the images have issues since they were taken with a tilted angle which affects the depth effect, maybe this is the reason for some complaining about the separation.

Stereo photo maker has an auto aligment feature that corrects height difference between the left/image: http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/

The problem is shown on the tree animation at:

http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/help/multiple.htm

Cameras are close since the battery takes up half the phone size, it is a PCB design thing, maybe not enough space to have the battery in the middle. HTC Evo 3D has the same layout.

"Only charge for 3 hours, and leave it, or else it will overheat and destroy the GPS capabilities, among other things," ~when I was trying to replace my Inspire for broken GPS.

Keep in mind, this is the same person that told me there is no GPS chip inside the phone.

*EDIT*

I'm afraid some people think this is a serious advice.

While the context was serious (he was dead serious about this advice), the advice itself is bollocks. This thread was made to poke fun at the expense of AT&T technical employees.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I have read the entire manual for the phone. No where does it say; Only charge for 3 hours at a time.....

Call ATT and get a support person who isn't an idiot. It may take a few calls.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] amishboxer:
LOL
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
As a matter of fact, I read the exact opposite in official HTC materials for this phone. It said that the phone has a smart overheat protection. For example, if you have the phone plugged in and are running GPS, streaming video, and other things, it'll scale the charging down when the phone gets too hot to keep it from overheating. I can't imagine a phone that can do that would have any trouble being plugged in overnight.

That, and I've never once picked up my phone first thing in the morning after being on the charger all night and went "Damn, that's hot!"

[HTC Inspire 4G] hdk703:
Well, I've heard that charging the phone while the battery is already at 100%...May decrease the overall life of the battery.

However, the idea of it over-heating in the middle of the night sounds too ridiculous.

[HTC Inspire 4G] codyperez86:
I had my phone overheat so bad one time in the middle of the night it was rediculous. It was so hot that I thought forsure something was gonna break. It was on the charger btw. Don't know what caused it or how it happend. I'm glad I woke up in the middle of the night though. :)

If you tie 500 of those phones after overcharging them, you can probably annihilate a whole city.

In all seriousness, this is stupid....i have left my phone charging 100000000000 times and nothing has happened. If that guy is all worried about that, tell him to get a wall charger and charge it there....that way his precious GPS won't get damaged.

Geesh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
hmmm.. aren't the phones on demo plugged in 24/7?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
wow. how do you not leave your inspire in and charging overnight. what are you supposed to do, set an alarm every 3 hours or so to plug it in and charge it up? i thought i was done doing that when my daughter started sleeping through the night!

you should however see if you can fool this particular tech with one of the joke screen cracking applications.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
It's funny you mention Japan and an Inspire 4G... a while back, someone posted about their inspire 4G having no service in Japan... Turns out the phone can't do squat in the land of the rising sun... no 2100 band to roam on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] unclekeith:
few nights ago i was texting in bed with my phone on the chargers... i feel asleep and woke up the next morning and not only was it wrapped up in my blanket but was on the charger all night! the battery temp was 125°!! so i wrapped it in a paper towel and put in the freezer.:cool:

it cooled a few minutes later and was fine.

so i learned the hard way. thankfully no damage was done.. that i know of...

it also gets toasty when i play NOVA 2 with it on the charger.

i wonder if charging with anything other than the HTC charger has anything to do with this. The original HTC charger only outputs at 1A @ 5V which is good and dandy...

i use an old nokia charger that does 1.25A @ 5V so i can charge quicker but I've never felt it get hot leaving it charging over night..

maybe using imitation chargers that can't regulate the amperage could cause the device to chernobyl? any thoughts?

I have 2-3 mini-usb chargers that vary in output. Is it safe to use them? I tried one once because I couldnt find my oem charger. I noticed it was faster but I was afraid it would mess up my phone over time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
Dang it! Really AT&T? Ugh... So now we can't charge them over night? I had been using the advice of the last sales rep and charging my Inspire by the broken hot water heater so I could have warm showers... Oh well...
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
If I am not mistaken, the Inspire used micro-usb chargers. So no. using mini usb chargers would be unadvised and just guessing that probably would cause long term damage to your phone by breaking it..... If you get it to work though let me know because I have tons of mini usb chargers laying around!

Sorry. Couldnt resist man. I am just kidding with you, no offense intended. But on a serious note, I use my Kindle usb charger (4.9v and .85 amps) all the time for its awesome 6 foot cord. Never had any problems. Correct me if I am wrong but lower voltage would be saver than being too high I believe. But anything close should work as the kernel should not let it charge more than or faster than needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:

I use some random micro usb charger that gives like 600-700 mA. Don't let it cross 1 A. That's generally the limit for many phones.

LMFAO, now that's funny
[HTC Inspire 4G] aEx155:
I was just browsing about fixing my GPS and I figured I'd add some information to this, maybe someone will find it helpful.

While all USB plugs supply 5 volts from the V+ line, some manufactures are using specific voltages on the two data lines (D+ and D-) to identify chargers as OEM instead of third-party. As far as I know Apple and HTC do this, not sure who else.

Using CurrentWidget, I measured the max charging current with my Griffin car charger and the provided HTC charger. The HTC charger maxed out at ~850mA. When connected to the car charger, the charging current was much less, ~300mA.

This charger identification does two things:

- Increases charging time when not using OEM charger

- Prevents overload of non-rated third-party chargers (since the standard max current draw of USB devices is set at 500mA)

Hopefully this provided some insight to charging your phone.

On a less scientific note, I once fell asleep with my phone under my pillow, charging (with a third-party charger). I was woken up in the middle of the night to a burning sensation on my hand. I promptly pulled the battery and set it on a countertop to cool. No idea if there was any damage, but that phone got returned to Costco (since Best Buy had a cheaper deal)

So I'm currently on my rooted Desire, with the standard/stock rom, however the small internal storage space is now starting to bug me a bit.

My question is, then, seeing as Leedroid GB is so close to the stock rom, will I be able to flash over the top without any wiping? The whole backing up and restoring is such a laborious process that I'd rather skip.

Anyone done it? I read on the FAQ that it could work but I thought I would check to see if anyone has actually been successful before doing it myself.

Thanks!

I have noticed today that while you can copy and paste text within Polaris, you cannot paste text from another app. I have tried to copy text from a variety of other apps and cannot seem to paste it into the a new Document, even though I have put the Document in Edit mode.

This is disappointing as I frequently grab text from a variety of sources and create a document with it. Does any of the Office apps allow pasting between apps?

Thanks

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] funnycreature:
Polaris does indeed not seem to support that... Maybe they use a different kind of clipboard to store data?

Documents to Go (paid) and Quick Office HD Pro both support the paste, Picsel Office does not. Hope that helps. I also have done a comparison between all four office suites; link is in my signature!

My wife's Transformer doesn't have the OTA update yet, and she can copy and paste in Polaris. However, copy and paste does NOT work on my Transformer, and I have installed the OTA update.
