[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
Oh thanks, I'll take it apart again and give it a clean around the seonsors and the clear plastic light pipes. The other two issues I'm having are:

1. Sometimes, the screen comes on as normal when I press one of the hardware buttons to wake it up but the digitizer is completely unresponsive.

2. The backlight does not come on sometimes when the phone is booted up.

Are these two faults caused by the same problem as above or could this be caused by a faulty screen?
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
Is anyone able to help?
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
You should do this, no doubt about!

Even I'm not 100% sure, I suspect some bad connections between LCD, touchscreen and motherboard: try to visually inspect those connectors(maybe with some magnifier) and even gently clean them. Sometimes could help!

Otherwise it could be a bad connector(for LCD+touch) on motherboard or even a faulty combo...

Good luck!
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
Hi yeoldgreat1,

Have you tried to use the stock winmo OS to see, if the problem still apears.

Can you tell me what product number your old AND your new screen has? The number normaly ends with 295 or 300.

Maybe you can also post the ebay seller.

Thx, cu
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
I've cleaned around the light pipes and the sensors but the problem is still occuring.

Reverting back to a stock rom hasn't made a difference. The old screen was a 295 (solder type) and I replaced it with a 300 digitizer/lcd combo.

The ebay seller was ymx0902 (http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=ymx0902 the hyperlink button didn't work for me :s)
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
Good to know... Have you had an exact look at the connector? Could there be a difference inbetween 295 and 300. If so, it would explain why you have these problems.

I mean, have a look at this two pics:

The 295 (soldered Digitizer) P/N 60H00295-00P:

The 300 (pluged Digitizer) P/N 60H00300-00P:

I can see a little difference at the connector (iam not talking about the Digitizer connector!!).

Probably, the conductors are (little) different.

Maybe you should exchange your LCD-combo into a 295 version and try again.
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
I can see a couple of "handles" on the 300 connector itself are they what you mean? I asked around before I bought it and a number of people said as long as you change both the digitizer and the lcd screen then you can go from 295 to 300.

I'll see if I can contact the seller and see if I can replace it. If not then I'll just sell the one I've got and buy a 295 version.
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
The couple of "handles" as you named it are in fact a optical difference. But not a difference in functionality so far.

Maybe you can also go trough the ebay ratings and have a look, who has bought a x300 screen. And then just contact several buyers - maybe there is one who has had originally a 295 and replaced it with a 300. Ask if it works.

Yesterday I have contacted a buyer, but he has had the 295 and replaced it with a 295.

To stay with the same type of component (same P/N) could be basically a good idea. But maybe we find someone, who has successfully exchanged a 295 to a 300.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
It is not a problem to interchange the 2 versions as far it is a combo, it should work for sure!
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
Bib*oops

Have you tried it by yourselfe or do you know somebody who did it well?
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
I assisted for a couple of times a tech guy who did this...
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
One clear message from a "tech-guy" here in germany is, to replace only screen (even bundle) by same p/n.

But another question:

Why is it so damn interesting to use the 300 instead of the 295? Is the 300 better? I dont think so...
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Some people says it is, better quality they claim, but I can't guarantee you that!
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
I'm able to answer my own question by myself now:

first of all: bib*oops - you're right! Therefore, it is not only possible to replace the 295-version by a 300-version - it is also strong recommended! The old 295 has some problems with the digitizer, the new 300-version has no problems so far. It is the newer and better version.

To get more in detail, you can have a look at a assembling-manual, which was originally posted here: Post from Michael Perlitschke

Michael Perlitschke is a professional hardware-specialist and has a very well knowledge of the whole hardware of our HD2.

Please find here his detailed manual of (dis)assembling the HD2. It is all in german language - but the google-translater should help ;-)

Get directly to his homepage
[HD2 General] Perlitschke:
I replace a long time the old crappy 295 Combos ( these Combos are for the Trashcan and a Masterpain in the A"xx" ) and use only the better Version 2 300er Touchscreens ( i build together the Digitizer with LCD Modules manually, so i don´t use ready to use Ready to Build in Combos ). Both ( the 300er Touch/Digitizer and 300/415 LCDs ) fits and work perfect inside the EU-HD2 Modells...

You´re right. The 300 Version 2 Types are better. But the Digitizer can also ****ed up during the Years. But, this isn´t a big Problem. The 300er Digitizer is fast to remove and a brandnew one is Build in if you have 15 Minutes free Time. No Soldering & fast to Remove from the LCD and the new one is easy to build in. All new 300er Digitizer (Manufacting 2011 ) i build in ( i guess i fixed till today 20 to 30 the last year 2011) are still wiorking quite well. The question is: Why the old 300er ( from 2010 ) ****ed up during the time ?!

I find out this is maybe a pure Quality-Problem, because i have here 10 "T-Mobile" brandet 300er Digitizer with temp. Touchproblems. Brandnew ! So, you only have to find ( i know, hard work ) a Reseller with very good Product-Quality. And don´t forget to use the 2 Spacer between the Touch/Digitizer and the LCD. These tiny little Rubber-Bumper ( 3*3mm ) are important !!!!

The Masterproblem is: The People don´t know what they do. And after that they get problems. Good for us, so....we can help out then ;-)

Happy Touching,

Micha
[HD2 General] creativeevent:
I see, after two years of HD2, this topic become more any more important.

Thx for your infos so far, Micha!

You told me via mail, to avoid amazon reseller... can u give us a few good sources where we can get good quality parts?
[HD2 General] Perlitschke:
Use a German Reseller you personal trust. They send fast inside Germany ( 1-2 WorkDays ) and if someting is not ok you can send all Products easy Back ( German: Fernabgabegesetz / Widerrufsrecht ! ). If the Product cost more than 40 Euro ( e.g. Touch/LCD Combos cost a lot more ) the Reseller have to Pay the Retour-Costs too and resend you the paid Money.

Not a good Idea is your Amazon USA Way and this Chinese Reseller. You have to wait till 4 Weeks; you have to pay TAX ( e.g. 54 Euro = 11 Euro Import-TAX ) and if the Product have a technical Problems, you have to send this Back and wait again 4-6 Weeks for another one...

Easy going here in Germany. Saves a lot time and money...

Best Regards and good Luck,

Micha

P.S. Ohhh....i know a lot Germans read here, too. If the Product-Quality from this Combo is very good, give the other people a Hint. I ordered from PHF GmbH the cheap 30 Euro T-Mobile Touchscreen/Digitizer last week and get a used not working one ( Horror-Buy !!!! ). Was only a CheckUp Buy and my Magic Glass-Marble told me before i ordered "Michael, leave your stinke "Fingers away....". This Product was to cheap and 95% Crappy **** and i got crappy **** that another User had before...ok, was only a Test-Buy, because the T-Online Digitizer was Cheap. I know now, it was to cheap (!) for a NEW Working Digitizer. Sure, that i got ( Delivery Time 2 Days !!! ) Trash ! I know from a lot other People PHF Sells Touch/Digitizer for 10 Euro more ( ca. 38-39 Euro ) and they work perfect. Same with your Combo...

You do not have to disassemble the whole phone as described in some instructions....

I never tought, that there is a that big difference between 295 and 300 touchscreen. Its great!!

[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I'm new and reading up on rooting, etc. There seems to many links around for ADB and Fastboot but some of the tutorials I have read mention that they "may" install CWR and Superuser also. I might have this wrong though. If I'm correct, does anyone have a link that includes them all? Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Attackid1:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411193

please look before posting
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
That's exactly why I'm posting, because I have looked. That's one of the links I have. A link>link>link, etc. A final link to Fastboot + ADB.zip download here doesn't work, in fact, neither does the one for CWR here but the second two links to elsewhere, work.
[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
DONT BE RUDE!

Easy:

First, you sould root your s7. = Superuser.

Then flash CWM via Adb

Easy too:

Flash a Custom Room with Root = Superuser so you have everything.

Theres no package with all in it, or?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
That's one thing that's confusing! Do you have to root first before CWR? I've read so many How To's that my head is spinning as each one links to another and another and another. I don't want to brick my S7 either.

There a How To somewhere that sort-of states that if "whatever" isn't installed automatically, you'll have to download and install. After reading all these How To's and a few videos also with each not exactly the same, this doesn't seem real easy. Of course, I'm a sissy!:D
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yes, you need to root before installing CWR, otherwise its useless.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
From my Streak 7 right now, otherwise I'd provide a link that states to install CWR first.

Why do you say that it's useless otherwise?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You dont need to root before installing CWM, in fact CWM is plenty useful even if you never root.

All you need is fastboot to install CWM.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
But dont' you need the SU binaries installed to do such things as install custom ROMS?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
SU can only be invoked while android is loaded. It requires android to be fully/nearly fully functional to work.

CWM bypasses anything on storage and directly reads/writes to it. It only requires that the NAND structure be correct (as in the partitions are in the right place and the bootloader is intact)

NVflash completely bypasses everything and only requires the device to be physically intact, it can load on a system with a completly blank/scrambled NAND.

There's a great deal of overlap between flash_image (which requires root) and CWM, but it's like popping in a rescue disk vs safe mode on windows, they do a lot of the same things but have different dependencies.

This is true for unprotected bootloaders like the S7 though. If your device has a protected bootloader/S-ON you do in fact need to be rooted to flash CWM.

On unprotected devices you can directly flash via fastboot and ignore any security in android proper.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
TheManii:

Do you have any issues with the procedure provided in this link? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411193
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
It's essentially correct
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Looking closely at the procedure, Drivers.zip isn't a file but a folder.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I've heard that some people have driver issues with the ones included in Fastboot+ADB.zip, but they're the stock ones from dell.

I'm not sure how directly installing the dell sync software would fix it as they're the same drivers. BUT I havnt had any issues with the ones in Fastboot+ADB.

Nor have I had anyone able to confirm it in a useful way that they dont work.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I first started to get an S7 directly from Dell to get the v3.2 HC but since their ETA was over a month away, I opted to get it elsewhere. It came with v2.2 and I OTA'd it to v3.2 on day one.

I "think" I installed some drivers to to use Dell Suite sync software but it would try to open but always with an error that closed it, so I gave up!

I have McAfee Security Suite, will that be a problem? Don't think it has a disable switch.
[Dell Streak 7] EwanG:
On my streak there was literally a file called "Drivers.Zip" which is the file I'm referring to. This is NOT the same as the drivers folders in the Fastboot+ADB file. Most importantly it includes 64-bit versions of the drivers. My understanding is that any Streak that ships with Honeycomb has this file. If you got an OTA update or installed a Custom ROM, you would need to get the file elsewhere. I'd be happy to post the version I have, but wasn't sure what the redistribution license is for those...

[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
First, post in general for something like that ;)

Root your device with Gingerbreak ;)

Gingerbreak

And if youre asking because its for gingerbread, do it. It will work if you have froyo on your s7.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
My Drivers.zip folder contains: readme.txt, setup.exe, setup.msi and tetherxp.inf. All compressed files. What was in your driver.zip file?
[Dell Streak 7] s14evil:
Gingerbreak doesn't work with honeycomb... I've truest and noting happens....
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Using the File Expert app, I just noticed that it shows Drivers.zip as file and not a folder. Using FE other option, I C/P the file in my PC where it's shown as a file now. The files compared to the ones in the folder have the same byte, date and time stamp.
[Dell Streak 7] Nuke67:
superuser problem solved

The user Ameisenmann published a solution in a German forum (android hilfe) referring to another post at cesgeekbook. Because I am a new user here I am not allowed to post the links.

The new superuser.zip generates an error message too, but it worked. Only busybox must be installed from the market.

Hi guys,

I'm usually ordering a lot of things online especially newer devices which launch in certain countries first. Always good to know which sites are tried and tested.

For me I'd say the following:

www.brando.com (Decent rates. Good customer service)

www.clove.co.uk (Excellent rates. Excellent customer service. Excellent delivery times)

I would have included expansys but their customer service is horrible in my opinion.

Which ones do you use?

This is my first post, after reading this forum and following fantastic guides found here, and fortunately is not to ask for help or for information i didn't easily find in posts :)

This is how my X8 looks like, i'm using sslauncher and minimalistic text, gingerdx v20, and white ics rings for lockscreen and incoming calls i found in a thread around here about ics complete look or something like that.

Must say that, after 6 months of using launcher pro, sslauncher feels fresh and fast:)

Can't remember where i got the wallpaper...google searched it i think :-?

on second thought, i'm gonna just make a timeline with all the homescreens my x8 got since it got rid of stock enclair :D
