im in the same boat

i was working on a coworkers phone both his sprint hero and mine were previously on stock rom and i wiped everything before going to damagecontrol and i updated my radio to the eris dump and not my co-workers so what is strange is when i was ready to go back to stock rom i wiped everything again and it flashed the RUU just fine but on my co-workers we had all sorts of issues first it was getting driver to show up properly when you want to get to adb the driver needs to show up as My HTC as well as installing with RUU and when you need access to fastboot it should say Android Composite ADB Interface but this phone my coworker has will probably have to go back to sprint cuz the only thing that works is fastboot oem boot and no i'm not going to write anything to the /system/app folder :-) but I would like some continued assistance if anyone has any ideas i've followed every post on this thread to no success i get every single error from the RUU to flashing the radio update.zip the rom.zip from RUU and no luck on bootloader either i also don't know what happend to hboot

here is output when loading rom.zip

Anyone of you here experience such problem?

peeling off metal coating on keypad after 3 month usage.

Please attached photo of the keypad. We need HTC Taiwan to rectify the issue ASAP and of course a valid warranty claim to all tattoo user here.
[Click General] shazarul:
yes im having the same problem too....my back key is the same as yours....
[Click General] tircinc:
i just send an email to HTC HQ for their clarification of the poor material surfaces on tattoo keypad.

I'm waiting for their replies regarding the warranty claim as local SiS distributor can't make any decision regarding the keypad issue. They charge MYR150.00 for the stupid keypad. I'm not going to pay for this low quality keypad.
[Click General] svprm:
I'm also having the same pro.
[Click General] ragzy:
Wow, that's really poor quality, I was kind of expecting more from HTC.

This cartainly makes me think twice about buying this device.

I might as well ad that this is not the first time i read about this issue, the pics made this problem so much clearer though. It's also sad to see that this issue actually seem to be so common=/

Too bad that the shell is the only affordable spare part.

Even if the warranty covers this, the buttons has been "worn out" far too fast. So the new ones would be worn out just as fast if they don't do something about the quality. Which I highly doubt that they will, HTC seems to have forsaken this phone a long time ago.

Still, this will be an interesting thread to follow. And after all, the tattoo is still the only android phone that I'd be interested in owning.
[Click General] tircinc:
Please attached picture of the peeling off metal coating on the keypad. We need HTC Taiwan to rectify the issue.

[Click General] fluffboy:
but its not the cover of the phone! its a part of the phone >:l
[Click General] tircinc:
this will be my 2nd and last android phone from HTC. I rather get motorola.
[Click General] ragzy:
Sucks that HTC doesn't care.=/ Too bad the new covers doesn't come with new keys like in the good old days.

Keys that wear out in less than a couple of months kind of ruins the point with changeable covers.

There wouldn't be much point in repairing the keyboard either, since the quality is this bad, it'd just look the same in a couple of months.

I have never had a phone with that bad quality on the button, HTC must have been aware of this from the start, I mean, they must test the product before releasing it...

I wonder is there is something you can "coat" the keys with to strengthen them? That way so that other users could prevent this.

A good idea is to tell everyone with this problem to contact HTC with pictures of the issue. If enough people complain perhaps they will do something..
[Click General] tircinc:
htc desire would be next suffer same fate as us. Their button also using metal coating.
[Click General] greenfriedrice:
does anyone know if I can replace the keys by myself? and if I can, where can I buy them from??

[Click General] bhalla.sumant:
Oh god! Its the same case with me. Exactly same way Return key has peeled off. I am using phone since Decemeber and HTC has been calling me up again and again because feedback I gave was very dissatisfied. But they are not going to replace the Keypad. I found one at Ebay but it comes with the complete housing and is expensive some USD46. I am not able to find the same at any other place. What to do? Where to go? They simply say its cosmetic fault and is mishandling. WTH!!!

I dont use protector and i also have pockets that i use. :)

I must have droped this phone like 20 times,and it doesnt have one scratch on it.

You are lucky! I dropped it one time on some stone steps and it has scratches around the edge.

I stay in Dubai. Have ben trying to get a silicon or resin case for HD2 with no luck. Does any body know where they are sold in Dubai.

Alternatively I am visiting India shortly and if any body can let me know where in Delhi HD2 cases can be bought
[HD2 Accessories] imtiyazee:
Check at Ghaffar Market @ New Delhi.:)
[HD2 Accessories] droidzer:
I dunno nuttin bout places in Dubai nor India, but usually I buy my phone protection via PDair or ebay or i used to shop at seidio before I got completely enough with their poor quality cases, after endless sending the item back and forth and never get the first shipment correct.

all in all, i would however show you this, well, free shipping, i always recommend this luxury silicone that they sell, better protection than the ordinary ones you get from the market.

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000801&products_id=26975

honestly, i hate walking around those shopping malls packed with hundreds of smaller phones shop.

I always shop online for these things.

Hope it helps my friend
[HD2 Accessories] amitambika:
Yes I know about these but problem is getting them shipped to Dubai.They donot offer any option of getting the items shipped by courier and normal post will not be very reliable.
[HD2 Accessories] droidzer:
meh.. no worries, they insure your package, once mine was lost in the post, they just simply resend till you receive it.

All in all, still no loss on my part, since it;s free shipping anyway.

:D
[HD2 Accessories] mohitsheoran:
Go to Nehru place, there you will find plenty street vendor, they have the silicon case. Rest are junkies. I searched whole South Ex, Gurgaon and Northern region including Chandigarh, but couldn't find a single case for HD2. I had to content with what i got, and it was available at Nehru Place only. So go over there and you would get something.
[HD2 Accessories] amitambika:
ok thanks will try there. Do they have branded cases like case mate,, PDAir and difernet variety

In the process of replacing my lcm, I managed to tear the button flex cable that connects to the mainboard.

I am currently looking for a the button flex replacement. What is the best way of tracking something like this down without going to HTC?

If there is no current seller/merchant available...Um...Is anyone selling an HTC HD2 for parts!?!?!?

Pics included...You can see the button strip, and the little 45 degree angle break on the flex..SUCKS!
[HD2 General] giorgos25:
I saw the break... Man, that's bad luck... :(

I hope you find a new button strip. The only other solution would be to solder fine wires from the point I highlighted on the photo. But that is

very very very

difficult... :mad: If you decide to do so until you find a new button strip I would recommend you to let an expert solder it, for example a television-technician. That shouldn't cost you more than a bier for the technician!

Wish you luck!
[HD2 General] FloatHeavy:
This just in, I have since purchased a broken hd2 and replaced the button strip. It has a light adhesive and is mounted on two small plastic posts on either end. To loosen the adhesive, just apply gentle heat (blow dryer) and GENTLY peel off. You might come across a stubborn part and want to give it a harsh tug, but you need to methodically peel it up using some sort of flat piece to get from underneath it.
[HD2 General] mietekxxx:

Weird to say it but I kind of miss evil Apple being the bad guy and trying to control all of our phones. I miss the challenge and being able to strike back with a jailbreak. I know you can be "bad" and root your N1 but its not really the same for me since Google is a great company that is totally open and customer oriented and the Nexus One fulfills all of my needs right out of the box so there is no badguy to fight against and make things fun.

The iPhone jailbreak community was really a family since everyone had the same phone and was always working together against "the man". With the android and the Nexus One there are so many android phones that the community as a whole feels some fractured since everyone is on different forums. So far XDA, Phandroid, and Nexus One Forums have been the best with community involvement but I am sure over time it will get better.

Thanks guys for being great and helping me with all my questions. Hope we can continue to stick together helping each other out.

The ONLY reason it's separated like that is because older phones aren't capable of running the latest Android version.

Can you imagine what will happen once every phone is specced like the Nexus One (or higher), and will be able to run the latest Android version?

Everyone will be hacking away with the same version (after rooting/flashing/etc), making the community infinitely stronger than any other OS.

"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member" Groucho Marx

I don't understand the thrill of jailbreaking. "Sticking it to the man" just doesn't appeal to me. Apple is free to lock their devices down but I don't want it so why give my money to them? Rooting an android isn't the same thing, google isn't going to threaten me or purposely brick my phone just because I rooted it.

Instead of jailbreaking an iphone just to make it do what I want I chose to buy an android. Getting something that is closer to what I want is a bigger thrill to me than making something that I consider much more "evil" do what I want. Apple still gets your money so why encourage their brand of intolerance?

I miss my Vic-20, now there's a challenge that wasn't evil. Try making it do nice things with under 3K of RAM.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Yeah, this. Not giving them money is the best way to "stick it to the man." Buying their products and then jailbreaking it only sticks a huge apple into your unmentionables, really.

A) Um... the G1?

B) I'll believe it when I see it. Rumors of an upgrade are nice, but I guarantee it will never actually get 2.1.

This is something I've always been interested in seeing, because on my ipod touch (jailbroken obviously, because apple is a bunch of freaking idiots) I had something that allowed fun little widgets on your lock screen.
