[HD2 General] quailstorm:
I'm back!

I haven't had the time or money, also, the dare to purchase online. But, now I have paypal, and ebay account verified and set up.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261397732831&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

This is the target product. But the seller doesn't answer for two days now... Just some basic questions about shipping.

And I fixed the broken GPS antenna too.

Previously, I posted some pictures with color issues on the screen. The flex slips out of the connector, that's the issue. I think some adhesive will keep it fixed until I assemble the phone.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Is the locking tab broken on the mainboard hence why flex slips out easily.

locking tab broken &/or flex socket cracked can cause lots of issues & be hard to cure unless lucky :-S If you think you can secure the ribon another way do try but do test screen & digi function fully before final build up.
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
Yep, the locking tab is damaged. It doesn't keep the flex in fix position anymore. Though it still keeps more than nothing, it needs some help.

In an Samsung D900i I had this issue too. But it was factory planned. So they put a kapton on top, and a thick adhesive tape to the bottom of the flex. So it was easy to figure out what to do. And keep in mind that it is a slider phone. It worked for months, I don't what's up with it now, but my friend mentioned that something gone wrong. Maybe it slipped out.

Anyway, if I put the motherboard of the HD2 on my desk, and plug in the screen, I can turn it like a book for infinite time. But if I pull it a bit, the flex slips out. And originally, I haven't disassembled the phone, so I forced the flex through the small gap beetween the frame and the connector. That's why I had those color issues, it wasn't fully in.

Here's a quick drawing. I hope you will understand.

Do you think this would be good enough?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
originally from factory the HD2 has a yellow tinted kapton tape on the flex cables too.

Kapton tape & perhaps a bit of double sided tape on underside should hold it in position fine.

Main issue with clamp broken is that sometimes it does not contact on all flex pins in socket & screen or digitizer has issues (normally digitizer). If yours functioning fine then no worries hopefully ...
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
I investigated the connector, and the result was it's good enough to be worth to purchase a digitizer. The tab is not broken, but doens't keep the flex like a crocodile jaw. I don't think there is any connectivity issue.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Sounds like a plan then :)

Did see digitizer on eBay very cheap (7.99USD), link is in HD2 Wiki

Prices have come down loads due to declining demand & large stocks needing shifting, even locally for me stock is very cheap ...
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
I already ordered the digitizer+LCD combo, which I linked previously. I don't want to assemble the original LCD with a digitizer. Maybe someday, I will keep it.

The only thing I need now is 3M tape (I will search locally) and the package to be delivered.

Also, if the repair process succeeds my friend pays all costs for his phone. And my plan is to buy a Galaxy S i9000. But that's a month away from me in time.
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
The digitizer+LCD combo has arrived. I was surprised how well packaged it was, but I am really sad now...

The freakin' digitizer won't work at all... The screen is good at least.

The digitizer is the flex cable version, no soldering, and I ordered fo t8585, what could go wrong?

The original bad digitizer worked for some swipes for the last one ehen I disassembled the phone...

Now the phone is on my desk, only camera, vibrate, earphones, keyboard, screen, and battery are connected, no case. Please help!
[HD2 General] Mister B:
You could have a bad digitizer assembly I suppose !

I suspect problem with the mainboard connector though ! why!!?, well had a similar scenario on a badly dismantled device I tried repair for a friend. I got a digitizer But in pre assembly testing with just lcd/digi, mainboard & keyboard ribbon I could not get digi to work one bit, the flex socket on mainboard for lcd flex had broken latch & slight crack in top plastic, all effort of trying to improve contact by adding tape to back of flex tail & bending a slight v (across width) in flex tail made no improvement to digi, digi tested fine on a spare HD2 board I had :-/

Hope yours is digi, do try adding bit of tape to back of flex or adding little bit of pressure to see if can get some digi function.

Not going to plan this one is it :-/ good luck ...
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
I will try it. I hope it's not the MoBo connector, that would be a tragedy...

I investigated it with a magnifier and a torchlight today, and it's seems to be intact... Even this new flex cable sits in there better, it's not easy to pull it out.

What is necessary to be connected to the phone when testing? Pigtails, GPS, speaker? 'cause I saw some awful thing with the onboard camera on a SEW705... it's connected with the top edge of the flex cable.

My plans are alcohol cleaning, and trying some tape. I will see if that helps. I wonder if I could test the screen elsewhere...
[HD2 General] Mister B:
For testing all I use is mainbord with digi & LCD plus a spare button board to power it up etc & of course a battery held against mainboard pins .
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
I've received a refund from the seller. So basically, I can freely play with the screen.

I have a new idea, what about putting the new digitizer in to the old screen?

My plan is to buy a new cheap digitizer, to see whether it works or not. If works I'm happy, if not, I'll sell all of these crap remains of the phone.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Here's an eBay link for digi,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161264215376

have 2 of these & they are exactly same as others being sold at twice the price.

if old lcd is socket type you would be able test on original lcd & with new cheap digi on lcd/digi set.

You can also try the lcd/digi digitizer on old lcd (if old LCD is socket) as could be LCD ribbon issue or LCD digi socket & not mainboard socket.

at least being refunded means you will not be out of pocket & the parts will sell easily as your location will be much preferred for european buyers ;)
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
Thanks for the digi, will purchase it, and it will be my last try. I have tried the new digi on old screen today, and will do it tomorrow. I don't know if today was succesfull, because I haven't dismantled the digi+LCD just connected them, an it always slip out, it's hard to handle with both screens on. Tomorrow I'll have friends on location.

Both LCD screens still work well.
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
I've tried out the new digitizer with old screen, and no success, so I ordered from your link. Will write about the conclusion.
[HD2 General] Neo:

Good Afternoon everyone.

This is a friendly reminder to click/tap thanks to the helpful post, rather than creating a separate post to say thanks :) Although your thanks is greatly appreciated, it will help to keep the threads clean.

Thanks!

[HD2 General] quailstorm:
Digitizer has arrived. I plugged it into the original screen, aaand it WORKS! So finally, I can assemble the phone. Thanks for all the help.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Good result :) was the digitizer just htc branded with no other branding & appear same construction as other non working one, ones I had were & good price ... Hope rest of rebuild goes to plan ...
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
The one I have received has T-mobile logo and HTC logo too.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Mine had only HTC logo but did ask seller before buying & added note to payment too, suppose depends on what stocked & bit of luck too perhaps.

Can't complain at price though for working digitizer & you have a spare LCD that could be sold to cover all outlay really :)

What do you think about cutting the power button like this? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40751374&postcount=74

I would like to assemble the phone today.
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
Never mind. It's soft. Like a sticker. I don't think it would solve anything if I cut it out...
[HD2 General] Mister B:
only thing I do is raise the button board on 3 layers of 3m tape, this helps give fraction mor clearance between button & digitizer flex tail plus resolves loose rattly button plastic strip in heavily used HD2's ... Have a good rebuild day ...
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
It's not a good day... the new digi is not working at all. With both LCD-s... I don't get it. When it arrived, I haven't fixed it at all. It just worked. And now it doesn't :crying:

Man, I don't believe it how unlucky I am...

I had dinner, then went back. I plugged in the charger because the battery was low. I charged it in disassembled state fot 10 minutes some weeks ago.

Now:

phone does not boots

no screen

light up

vibra constantly on

CPU is HOT

WTF is going on? I just plugged in the same charger...

I think I will have to give up. It's a piece of crap now.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Sounds like board bad, expect a power surge from charging may be too blame !
[HD2 General] quailstorm:
But it's an original Nokia charger and it still works, I'am charging my N900 with it. And the HD2 was charged with it several times, before the digitizer fault and after too...

I don't get it, really.

Is it forbidden to plug in a charger to the mainboard without the battery connected, or without the big flex without the peripherials? Once it worked, and I think I also started with the battery out. And I never seen any phone being broken from such thing. Siemenses, Nokias, Sony Ericssons, some even work without battery!

But it's all over. :crying:

Micro USB port broken on HD2

Hello there, The Micro USB port on my HD2 has broken so it doesn't charge with wire now nor can I connect it to computer for sync. Is there a suggestion what can be done to fix it or does it need to go to official HTC service center for replacement, please suggest?

I saved the images & converted text in a word.doc for download for easy reference.

Repair work on the micro usb port is intricate soldering but can be done.

port need good strong resin glue added around it after repair to reduce chances of stress fractures on the repair.

If unable do it yourself you may be able give the mainboard to a repair shop who can do the work ...

Hello

I am new here, so i'd like to apologize if these were already answered.

Now to start. I dropped my phone, and since then i only get mostly yellow colours on my display and touch isn't working properly, like when i try to type a massage it types random letter and pushes rendom "buttons" on screen.

What do you think it's broken and how much would repair cost me?

I have rooted phone to win7 (the first oe with this modern blocky look) i think, a year ago approximately and now I am using samsung young, but would really like to fix my faithfull HD2 .( now i cannot get in the os cause i formated my sd card for use in samsung)

And can u tell me, if I get t working again, what OS should I put on it. ( link some guides) Something that would work great but isn't to old or to simple.

What should i look for and is it even worth repairing? Which parts should i buy, and are all HD2 the same or is there any difference in parts, if not how do I know what model is mine?

Thank you in advance, and again I am sorry if this has already been answered.

Buy a new lcd & digitizer complete which should be around 22USD, have parts links in hd2 wiki.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caponer:
Get a dedicated phone number and set a callertune. Whenever you want to put someone on hold transfer him/her to that number. Set a backtransfer to your number so that call gets returned after no answer typically 30secs and loop it for longer delays

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

During the call u can always start music player in background or maybe write an app that doesn't actually put the call on hold but instead silences the mike and streams audio to it from a file.

Hit thanks if I have helped :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KirkH420:
Sorry to Necro an old thread, however I am still interested in a function such as this because Android's HOLD and Merge Call functions have become far more useable. What I would like to be able to do is; I initiate a call to my bank who puts me in a call block with a 20 minute wait time. I would like to start another phone call and instead of Merging the calls (3 way call) I would like to record a mp3 or my voice saying "Please Hold. The customer who has called you will return to speak with you within One minute. Thank you for holding." Or perhapse we could find a way to put a feature which does this; "Hello, the customer who is trying to reach you is on the other line. Please press 1 on your keypad and the customer will be signaled that you are ready to talk."

If something like this were possible, an android user could be more productive because they could either A) set the phone down and be signaled when they have reached the front of the line within the Call Block. Thus never needing to actually sit on the phone listening to terrible HOLD music. or B) the android user could be on another call and would be signaled when it is time to Flash over or even Merge the 2 calls.

[Nook Touch General] andrewed:
I just started a wiki here

USB Host mode

I am hoping that you who actually know how to do it would help develop a set of instructions that are simple enough for a literate, adventurous non-tech (like me) to follow.

UPDATE: The wiki now has a complete list of installation instructions. You'll have to hunt through verygreen's thread below for operating instructions till they organized on the wiki.

The wiki and this thread (where noobs like me can post) are based on verygreen's

[WIP] USB Host support (working)

I asked verygreen and ros87 to do the USB Host mode for the Nook Simple Touch. Verygreen announced success within 48 hours. The hack has gotten whipped into shape there with the amazing help of ros87, Renate NST, mali100, and other superb xda people.

The project started at mobileread.com:

Project: E-Paper Tablet (touch-typable!)

Thanks to fellow mobilereaders for support, especially Kumabjorn, poliorcetes, and nealsharmon for donating money for devices.

The wiki is super rough. It assumes a new device in the box and a non-tech user. I started the instructions to show how simple they need to be. I will continue helping with that because it does seem difficult for techs to believe just how lost we can be with this stuff. My goal is to bridge the gap between techs and literate users so that non-programmers who want to type on the NST can. If you are an expert writer of users manuals, maybe you would help, too.

Honestly, I don't know the first thing to do now that my NST is on and registered. For example, I don't even know if I need to:

root the NST first

install adb (which I also don't know about)

or what. I have studied the thread, so I will be familiar with the terms. But I'm completely clueless about actually doing the hack. I managed to unbox my refurbished NST, update its software to 1.1.2 and install a microSD card. The issue is, what exactly should be done now? Please leave your answers in the wiki! Thank you!
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
I would say the best way to start is from eded333's Minimal Touch http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 . That gives you a nice system with market and a launcher to install and start your texteditor or writing apps.

If I find some time i will create a small update-package that installs all the necessary things for the usb-host mode.
[Nook Touch General] andrewed:
Cool. Will the 1.1.2 NST software update screw any of this up? I have it installed now because it fixed wifi connection issues that affected me.
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
1.1.2 is fine. You can still use eded333's MinimalTouch to root it and get a launcher.
[Nook Touch General] andrewed:
Awesome. Will dive in, then!
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
As promised I created a small update package, to install all the necessary files and tools.

It is installable via Clockwork Recovery in the same way as eded333's MinimalTouch, which should be installed first, to get root, a launcher and a working Market.

Requirements:

Software version 1.1 or 1.1.2 (1.1.2 is recommended, as it fixes WLAN issues)

root, a launcher and working market (I recommend using eded333's MinimalTouch)

What it does:

changes the kernel to NST-kernel v0.1 with USB-Host and multitouch support

changes the uRamdisk to a uRamdisk with fixed init (needed for USB Input devices) and adb-usb

installs the busybox and sqlite binaries

adds the permission node for multitouch to /etc/permissions/required_hardware.xml

installs the app UsbMode-1.2 and the NullKbd-1.1 by Renate NST

adds the permission to enable the NullKbd

changes the qwerty.kl and qwerty.kcm.bin to the remapped one by Renate NST

installs the NookColorTools, so you can switch to the NullKbd

DISCLAMER and WARNING:

I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, lost data, fried USB-Devices. Make a backup before you try anything described here!

USB-Host support is still WIP (work in progress), the battery drain is noticeable higher.

this is the first release and only tested by myself, so don't expect it to be bulletproof.

Credits go to:

verygreen, ros87 and everybody who helped with the USB-Host mode,

Renate NST, for all the effort making USB-Host support userfriendly (USB-Mode app, NullKbd, key remapping, testing),

wheilitjohnny and arkusuma for the Multitouch support,

eded333, for his great MinimalTouch,
