man, leave the guy alone. he did not refer to you in a bad manner rather thanked you for pointing out his imperfections. He never said he knew everything and if you are too ignorant to realize that, then that is your problem not his.

It looks like its a vendor vs. vendor situation here, But only you are the one trying to make him look inferior to everyone else while you are just making yourself look like...for lack of better words... an ass.

Yeah I have plenty of those PM me and we'll get you squared away.

@rydr1

Thanks for coming to my defense but lets please keep this thread as clean as possible. No need to fight, lets just continue to help our fellow board members.
[HTC Excalibur] Mysterious Stranger:
I'm not trying to push or sell anything, just correcting mis-information. my original post was to find out what he was offering with his 'help', yet when questioned it seems he isn't actually that experienced with HTC repairs, or phone repairs in general.

Read his other posts fully - he accuses me of lying when I said I could repair lifted pads on a circuitboard as it was 'impossible' so he said and asks for video proof from me I have done it - yet others also say they can do it too and suddenly it becomes possible yet he'd never thought of it before?!?!?!?....

Also, he doesn't know that the G4 wizard and Hermes share the 60H00037 LCD and states *as fact* that they are not compatible when in some cases they are!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=403809

Wrong info is so much worse than no info as it mis-directs people. I'm merely correcting mis-information and being accused of 'lying' for doing so. If he knew what he was talking about and didn't write stuff that was cr@p I wouldn't post correcting him....

Other people may know something as well, so saying something isn't possible when he merely isn't capable or knowledgable of it is the issue.

A little humilty on his part rather than 'I know everything so ask me and I'll help' type posts would go a long way here. Imagine how pi$$ed you'd be if you followed his 'advice' , bought a replacement screen part 'X' as he said the screen part 'Y' you had wouldn't work - and it was B.S all along....

Cradle/charger

I kept having issues when syncing my phone via usb. Its seems if i even looked at it wrong it would lose connection (which makes flashing roms a bit difficult). Tried a new cable and still did it, so i assume its something with the port. Anyways I decided to buy one of these cradles and life is all better. While the phone is docked I can shake the thing and it wont lose connection. Even came with a stock battery. Just thought i'd post in case anyone else has the same issue. :D
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh good post man, hope this is helpful to many who have the same issue. :)
[HTC Excalibur] GJSmith3rd:
Gixxum - Yep that cradle looks just like the one I have, and for around the same price. It's a nice add-on for the Dash. I wish you could remove the USB cable because I use Bluetooth for PAN and Sync. Are you running Vista and if so are you using MS Sideshow with your Dash and cradle?

Also, I've cracked a lot of screens on various devices and I've heard about how easy it is to crack the Dash. Most of the time I've cracked them from pressure in a pocket while bending, sitting or stooping, and the device was either bare or in a soft case. You can also easily crack devices by throwing them in a bag with other stuff or on the side pocket of a bag.

One of the first things I did was buy one of those aircraft grade aluminum cases with the plastic screen cover and the neoprene lining. This helps to keep pressure off the glass if needed.

I've dropped my Dash a couple of times in the case and once it even fell down a few steps, but so far so good. :cool:
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
on this cradle you can remove the usb cable.

and yes the phone seems to be fragile for a lot of people...but i have a habit of putting it in my back pocket when im walking around...and i sit on it atleast 3 times a day and i have yet to crack it....but im sure its gonna happen now that i said that.
[HTC Excalibur] GJSmith3rd:
Wow - on your cradle you can remove the USB signal cable and the USB power cable?

I can't see how you carry your Dash in your back pocket. You must be a light sitter - LOL. :cool:
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
i carry mines on my nexk but thats not the important thing :D thats a good post but i dont be havin that problem with the usb cable and all that.. i jus dont touch it wen its on the comp

Hi all

I just bought an Excalibur for my wife and I want to know your recommendations about cases to protect it, is there anything like rubber ones?

Any help is welcome

Cheers!
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
I love this case

You wont regret it
[HTC Excalibur] pfunkside:

I bought this one free shipping but it is pretty much what I wanted; not as nice looking as the one mikey found.

The one I have is silicone

Have you guys seen any rubber skin cases (like Mikey's) that are made for Dashes/Excaliburs with extended battery doors? I'd love a rubber skin, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the "juice"! lol
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Lol no I have not seen any of those but I have one of those cases that Mikey has too. It is a really nice case for sure.
[HTC Excalibur] e_dogg:
I have one of these: http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-t-mobile-dash_2355.htm

It looks like it would fit over an extended battery door. It's got a lot of stretch to it.

Yah I believe those will fit over an extended battery cover.

Dash turns off randomly

Hello,

I've had my T-mobile (USA) Dash since March '07 (originally WM5). I did the Tmo official upgrade to WM6 and this past April '08 put Kavana's WM6.1 on.

A couple weeks ago I started having severe problems with it staying on. I could be talking on the phone, texting, browsing the web, etc and the phone would suddenly turn off. This would happen even though the battery was showing a good charge (> 65%). I would then attempt to turn it on again and it would show the battery was dead or close to dead (<20%). I'd manually turn it off (or sometimes it would power off from being dead) and then turn it on again and it would show the battery back up to charged (>65%) mark.

Thinking this was a battery problem, I just purchased and installed a new battery and I'm having the same problem.

Last night I installed Ricky's WM6.1 thinking something might have gotten corrupted in the OS and still no luck, it's still happening.

Any ideas of what might be causing this and more importantly, how to fix it?

Thank you in advance (and thanks for the great resource of information!),

--Aaron
[HTC Excalibur] Mkris87:
I'm no expert ,but from what you've stated it doesn't sound like the battery nor software related. All I can say is it sounds like a hardware issue and the only thing I could suggest is to take it to a local cellphone repair place and tell them the situation. There are a few on here that are good with hardware so maybe search the forums and send them a PM or wait for them to respond, but it certainly sounds like hardware . I wish you luck!

pic request excalibure with extended battery

So I love everything about my phone right now except for the short ass battery life. My phone is about a year and a half old and I basically have to charge it every night. I use it for music on the bus every day, a few txt messages and maybe an hour or two of talk time. Anyway I am not sure if I am using it more, the new rom but my phone is usually dead by the time i make it home :( I am going to have to buy an new battery anyway but I really like the slim factor of my phone. Can anybody post up some pics of the extended battery please. just tryin to figure out what im gettin myself into
[HTC Excalibur] dg1904:
i purchased my dash around the same time, and i've been having the same problem for a couple of weeks now. multiple flashed with all kinds of roms did not solve it. pls keep let me know if you've been able to fix it.

Bringing this back from the dead.. Has anyone else been able to successfully do both of these "fixes"?

Also, I understand what the first fix does, but why the need for the second one? I'm not getting what it's actually adding that will really help save battery.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I tried this, and it causes crashes... I would suggest on not doing this because it will make the phone unstable especially when you try to connect it to the computer to sync or transfer files
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Thanks for the info man...I guess I'll just live with the slight decrease in battery life like most of you all do. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
But you can always get an extended battery fairly cheap... From ebay... An extended battery will give you more power and longer battery life because of course it is a little bigger.
[HTC Excalibur] Ryanmo5:
Hey have you seen or heard of these being sold anywhere else besides ebay?

[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
no i have not
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh they are amazing, I would recommend getting one. Mine lasts such a long time. I got this one from EBAY

And it works amazing, it normally lasts me about 2 days running edge, wifi, and playing games. You will love it plus its only like 22 dollars which is not bad at all especially for a 2200mAH battery.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Here this is the same one I have. Its only like 22 dollars which is not bad at all especially for a battery that lasts like 2 days or even more. I would recommend getting this one. Here is the link its on ebay. GO HERE 2200mAH EXTENDED BATTERY
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Extended Battery Cheap

This is for anyone looking to buy a cheap extended battery. I did research and this is the cheapest place to buy an extended battery. Read on to learn more. :)

I just bought an extended battery not to long ago off ebay, and the seller I bought it from was wonderful (100 positive feedback) and fast shipping as well. I would recommend getting this extended battery in order to provide you with more "juice" to go days on it. Here is the link for anyone that would like to purchase one. Its only 21.95 and like 5.99 for shipping. This is the best deal I have seen for a 2200mAH battery because these batteries normally retail for about 50 dollars. I did some research and this is the cheapest place I found to get one of these batteries. So get on it before they run out.

HERE YOU GO

Looks like somebody suggested this same registry fix for the Juno.. I made the cab for that phone and it should also work for the this phone as they are both Smart phones and share many similarities.

case

anyone know of a really cool case sporty horizontal. How about the Incipio. anyone seen it. it looks nice. I hope it is not cheap? It is inexpensive so that is why I ask.

I mean there are nice brands out there like Vaja, Krusell, Fortte but I want something casual and fun. and I want to expose the phone when I take it out. don't want anymore cabriolet types like i had for my bb 8700

I think the stitching showing makes this one sporty

Then I was looking at these, they look sporty sure,...but too funky. Or have you seen it and it they are ok? which one?

I bought the 2400mAh battery from ETEN

http://shop.eten.hu/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Dash&osCsid=2dfe72834b2db1d13770feab97d8f692

The battery life isn't that great for the first few charge/discharge cycles, but it gets progressively better... more than double the lifespan of the normal battery for me. With my normal usage it lasts for over 4 days, when previously I couldn't make it to 2 days very easily (I use it a lot).

In short, it's a great deal if you have the extra money to spend. One downside however is the normal belt clip case doesn't work for it. I have to use the one from the T-Mobile MDA now That one fits it perfectly. I miss the magnet in the Dash's case... much easier to snap together than the MDA's

[HTC Excalibur] Bugs74:
I have it, and it works great. I didn't buy one of the net, but ordered one at a local battery-repair-shop, which guarantees its quality. The store-owner told me never to order batteries on the internet, because there's lots of rubbish out there. I paid €25,- for it, and have a years warranty...

The brand I bought is Cameron Sino Technology, model no.: CS-DC700SL, Part No.: 35H00080-00M
[HTC Excalibur] GADGTGUY:
My battery life has been suffering greatly since upgrading to WM6....

I didn't think the move from the standard 960mah to the 1050mah would be that much of an "upgrade"

I did however go for the 2400mah one that is made for the phone and even comes with a replacement back battery cover to accomodate the slightly larger battery.

With 2400mah I don't think I will have any more end of the day power failures like I am getting now.

[HTC Excalibur] surfing10:
Gadgtguy, where did you bought this one? How much?
[HTC Excalibur] GADGTGUY:
This was the only place I could find it:

http://shop.eten.hu/mugen-power-s62...ttery-2400-with-black-battery-door-p-142.html

It was a bit pricey but if you add up the cost of a bunch of smaller ones it is a good deal.

[HTC Excalibur] vivid22:
Well from my experience with that batteries, i can tell you of a battery i bought when i lived in Hong Kong for my PSP.

It was sold by a big company that sells many PSP accessories...well the original PSP battery has about 1800mAh (at least mine has), the one i bought is about 2600mAh.

Works fine as well, the battery life seems to be larger in the first place. But, it just stays long at a high level and then drops down quite rapid, so the life would be just comparable.

And be honest, what is the 'mind-blowing' difference between 960mAh and 1050?..sth like 90mAh??? :D

Not really that much now is it (considering what i said about it, and that was a difference of 800mAh..)

Afterall, the 2400mAh seems reasonable..but well, your decision, whether you like the 'moby ****'-excalibur afterwards or not;) Plus, i dont really have problems with the battery life, just sync it every 2 or 3 days, and the battery will be just fine !

I think my dash is dead :(

Hello, I have a quick question and I am sure someone here can give me a better answer than the Tmobile help desk.

MY dash is acting really akward. My led on the dash is turning red then suddenly die. If I charge it all night, i can use it for maybe 20 minutes to an Hour Max. When I charge it, the led is orange then turns green after its charge but it wont last. You guys think its the battery? If its not then, I dont want to waste money on buying a new battery if thats the case. If someone has over came thing problem or have any ideas to resolve this issue, I will appreciate any help you show. Thank you
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
I'm new to this phone, but I'd probably monitor the battery meter in your settings... see if it's running out of juice really fast...

if it's showing a full charge and dying, no idea...

No overclocking software is being used i'm assuming?
[HTC Excalibur] jumran:
It sounds to me like the battery is failing to hold a charge and the phone is automatically shutting down when the battery level gets critical. Check you battery level when the red light starts flashing, if your battery level is less then 10%, you most likely need a new battery. You can also try to use a battery from another dash or a cheap one from eBay to see if it fixes the problem.
[HTC Excalibur] real ace 360:
Well, it doesnt warn or anything i dont think. I make a call or something, then stick the phn in my pocket, then few minutes later ill check and it be dead. I guess I will buy a new battery from ebay n see if that fixes the problem. Thank God I kep my wizard, instead of selling it on ebay. :) If anyone else know any other reason why its dieing, please share. Thank you

I'm on the Internet without the charger,and phone goes black(shuts off)

When I turn back on,what had about 90% power, would be down to 50%

I cleared storage,but still get same problem, and I am also on WM6

there is another metal/aluminum case, which is more popular based on the number of sites that sell it, but it's not as near as finished as this one ( i speak from experience as I own the other one too) the other case is sometimes referred as black/silver monaco aluminum case. the one in the line above is the best metal case ( if metal cases are your thing) you may be able to find this cheaper on ebay or other sites. i'm just using this site as a reference for what it looks like. the specific name of the case in reference is called "innopocket metal ( or aluminum ) case for excalibur".

[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
So far so good, active sync seems to be working just perfect and the battery is much better. Normally I would be around 60 percent by now; however I am at 72 currently... I been on wifi, internet through edge and listening to music and I am still rolling on juice right now. I would recommend you try it out... Works like a charm...

I have a S621 WM6 upgraded from HTC offical rom . Sometimes it happens that all of a sudden the phone turns off by itself I am not sure what is causing it.

any help would be appreciated. !!

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Um that is weird, so do you have any third party programs installed on your phone? Also, did it do that before you upgraded to the new Rom. Also, if anything you might need to either reflash the phone and see if the problem persists if not its either a defective battery or a defective phone.

Got my new case and charger

Got my new hard plastic rubberized case from accstation (ebay seller). Came with a car charger and only cost about 6.50 USD shipped. Thing is really well built. Only have two complaints though, the car charger cord is only about a foot long, which i guess is the same as the charger I got OEM for my former Samsung T329.. so I suppose that's not their fault and thus is a satisfactory piece.. the other has to do with the size of my thumb and that the plastic covers the portion above the directional pad below the screen and that it's sometimes hard to press because I have fat thumbs.

Additionally it should be noted that you will need to provide your own screen protector as this does not.

Great value for the money though!!
