So today, I was just walking and looking at my phone and I saw a tiny scratch on my HD2 screen, and I ran my finger through it, its really tiny but my nail got caught a bit into it....so...do you think that's an actual scratch or it'll go away...?
[HD2 General] tidus18:
If you can feel the ridge, then its a scratch. I know ppl say its scratch proof etc on youtube all, but when the device is that expensive with almost 50% of surface with screen, you would wanna put screen protector to prevent further scratches.
[HD2 General] maverick_endit81:

[HD2 General] telegraph0000:
if it looks like a scratch, and if it feels like a scratch...
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
my screen has some scratches too. little tiny hairline scratches that are barely noticeable, but still... scratch-proof my ass.
[HD2 General] Garrylufc:
Be glad your not a Desire owner.

My mate went out with new jeans on and his Desire must of scrached everytime he took it out and put it in to his pocket.

It looks like he has a spiders web in the top right corner.

You can even see it when the screens on lol.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Lemme put your HD2 under a microscope and get the verdict for you..
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
when did htc ever claim to have invented the "scratch proof" screen?....
[HD2 General] ribcage:
Exactly! HTC didn't make that claim.

If we were happy enough to let a low-res independant YouTube video convince us not to spend a few bucks on a screen protector rather than listen to the prevailing advice on these forums, we may be paying the price now with a scratched up screen.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Hi Guys

Just wanted to post my frustration regarding their service center. Its already been a week and the "good" folks there can't get their act together.

Dropped off my phone 7 days ago(Monday) at HTC as it had the much reported faulty power button.As my phone had a few scratches on it, I also asked for a quotation to have the casing replaced.

This is where it gets crazy..

I received an email from HTC 3 days later(wednesday) telling me my phone has been assessed and the quotion is as follows. Except there was no price listed on the email.

As I was out of the country I did not call up the service center for clarification.

Received an identical email from HTC the following day(Thursday) with no price on it as well. I only got back late Thursday night and hence called HTC first thing Friday morning for clarification.

Turns out, HTC records show that I had rejected their quotation when i hadn't even spoken to them!

Anyway, as I had an unlocked boot loader, I was aware that I would be hit with repair fees. However, HTC wanted to change my mainboard because I have a Third Party ROM which I quote, "is illegal!" The thing is, My phone has been rolled back to stock. Complete stock! Which means even the recovery is stock! I kept insisting that my phone is not running on any 3rd party ROM but they sent me a picture of the unlocked padlock saying that that shows I have a "3rd Party ROM installed and it is illegal".

I had an important meeting to attend to so I had run out. The next day(sat) I called HTC to further understand why they need to replace my motherboard and that i have no third party ROM. I also only require them to fix my power button. Turns out the service support guy said I had already accepted the charges to repair yesterday!!!

I told him I have not and would like to speak to the engineer who inspected my phone for clarification. He told me that the earliest I could speak to him is on Monday.

I have called HTC twice so far today(Monday) to have hem transfer me over to that enginnerbut despite them saying they will arrange for him to call me, I have yet to receive his call.

My take is, aside from the complete misunderstanding of an unlocked boot-loader and 3rd party ROM, does anyone know if they need to replace the motherboard just to fix the power button? (which happens to be a known problem with the earlier batches of N1)

I am utterly frustrated with HTC's support for this phone. It's enough for me to swear of HTC entirely and look at Motorola now.. :mad:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
That is just crazy. I have heard many good things about HTC service lately. And its not like the failing power button isn't a known common issue. What the hell HTC.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
That's messed up. Don't let up. Keep at it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
I have half a mind to make the trip down to the service center to get to the bottom of this. I have a strong suspicion the engineer is not going to return my call and they are simply shafting the Nexus One users..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musashiken:
Well, the dude is not from the US. The HTC service center in his country is probably f*cked up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
oh that's probably exactly the problem. how sucky...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Hey guys

Thanks for replying. Yes the call center is indeed sucky. Despite calling a local number, I get a distinct impression that I am speaking to helpdesk agents in China. (gotta love outsourcing) Anyway, fed-up with them for giving me the run around, I made the trip down to the service Center. (I saw lots of ppl holding on to desire phones waiting for their turn to have their device serviced).

Finally got to speak to the service personnel there and explained to her the entire situation.

The conversation went something like this

HTC Rep: Our records show you have a third party ROM. That will constitute a motherboard replacement.

I patently explained to her that I have an unlocked boot loader which means all i did was void the warranty. It does not require a motherboard replacement.

Her next response was, "the power button is connected to the motherboard which would require the mother board to be replaced".

I told her I was skeptical about that as there is a widespread belief on the internet that HTC's SOP is to replace the motherboard of any Nexus one that has an unlocked boot loader. Secondly, this is a known defect of the early batches of Nexus ones and I do not appreciate how my case was being handled.

She said she will have an engineer come out an explain it to me.

So i waited, while she went into the backroom. After several minutes, she emerged unaccompanied and told me that they had waved the charges to repair my power button!

Secondly, she gave me the quotation to replace the scratched casing and asked if I agreed to it. Of which i readily agreed! :D (I had asked for that in the first place)

Lesson learned is to keep pressing HTC to see the engineer who assessed the phone. I have a feeling the engineers are not interested in facing the customer and will fix the power button, should it come to that :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] time_shock:
The Singapore HTC Service Center always messes things up. I hated my experiences there.

When I came into the service center at Keppel Towers there was no proper signage or instructions on how to get a queue number and I had to figure it out after 5 minutes of roaming around in the room during my first time there.

I specifically told the CSO that I wanted the courier guy to call me before delivering the items and he never did. Twice he appeared at my office without calling me.

Btw, how much were you quoted for the casing change?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Cost me SGD $224.70 (inclusive of GST) It's definitely steep. But if you went the DIY route (voiding the warranty and possibly breaking the phone) a replacement casing will set you back USD$90.

You can buy it here.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fubaya:
Wow, I'm in the US and had a great experience. My power button went out so I called them on a Saturday and talked to a very nice lady who simply asked if I wanted it repaired of replaced. I opted for repair.

I sent it via Fed-Ex Monday afternoon and got it back Thursday morning. It was rooted and running the leaked Froyo but came back locked on stock 2.1 with a different IMEI number. I assumed they just switched phones instead of repairing it, but now I'm not so sure, maybe the motherboard thing is true or maybe they do replace them if they're rooted. Dunno why, I had it rooted and running Cyan an hour after getting it back, but I would be interested in knowing if I have the same phone with a different motherboard or a different phone.

But they didn't give me any hassles with the rooting or custom rom. I got an email saying it had arrived and they were assessing it's condition, and one the next day saying it was ready and would be delivered the next day, and that was the end of our interaction.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Guess the N1 users in Singapore arn't so fortunate. Anyway, I should get my phone by tomorrow...After which i'll try the alternate root approach (where I dont have to unlock the bootloader) cos I probably wont be so lucky the next time around
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0adki111:
Mine is sent in for dust under the screen for the 2nd time already. I called the other day to check the status since it's been over 14 days and I have not received it back.

I was told that every time your phone is sent in for repair that they change the imei number, and in order to do that they have to swap out the motherboard. Now this may not be correct but this is what I was told.

Also I was informed that they are in the process of relocating their repair facility to another location and my phone will be another week or so. I am now going on 3 weeks without it.

When i sent it in the first time for dust the screen was not loose, when I got it back and pulled it out of the box it was loose.

I know that this is not the power button issue but I was just throwing in my experience and what I was told about the imei/motherboard deal.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Guys

Just got my phone back! Power button is working now but guess what...My bootloader is stillUNLOCKED. They did not replace the motherboard. My phone was still on the FRF83 ROM and the moment I powered it up, i got the OTA update for FRF91.

After all that drama where HTC tried to shove down my throat that I needed to change my motherboard, they did not need to do it.

I am happy I finally got my phone back but I am really, really furious about this whole thing cos that just proved that they were trying to rip me off..

HTC has lost one customer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_tytnii:
I have a totally different experience

I got the button broken, expected to be charged and sent to the service center.

Ended up not charging me, and they replaced the motherboard, the button, and the track ball.

Everything done without charge, *OUT OF WARRANTY* :D

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the12env:
There is a dilemma that I am having. I currently have the Tmobile MyTouch Slide, great phone so far, no problems at all. On the other hand, I'm looking for a bigger phone. I was thinking about the HTC HD2. Can anyone throw me any suggestions on the 2? Heard from the grapevine that the HD2 might be able to have Android put on it soon? Thank you!

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiderboyy:
Had Both

I owned the HD2, and currently have a Slide. I hated the HD2, not because of its hardware (which was absolutely gorgeous) but because of Windows Mobile. I was coming from a G1 with a cracked screen (friend sat on it -__-) and Windows Mobile was bad enough that it made me switch back to the G1 and wait for the Slide. I got my Slide the day it came out and I couldn't be happier. While the HD2 port of Android is well underway, it will be a while before it is totally usable and everything works. Stick with the Slide, or go with the Samsung Vibrant when it comes out, althought I wouldn't suggest buying a Samsung phone with their history of customer support

Hope that helps!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevev:
Agreed. This guy knows what he is talking about. I have 2x HD2s sitting in their boxes waiting for android. The wait is torture. I have 2x Slides and am very happy. The Vibrant should be an awsome phone as long as Samsung doesn't mess up on the hardware.

Looks like the "back" button on my vogue stopped working over the weekend, this make's it pretty much unusable for Android.. :/

Has anyone else had this problem and had any success fixing it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mirth18:
I went and bought a Torx set to open up my vogue today. The back button still makes contact with the motherboard button and makes the "clicky" noise when the external button is pressed.

I am stumped.. looks like it is time to get on ebay for a new vogue.. :/

Same problem here, on Kaiser

Well, I have the same problem on kaiser, just that apart from the back button, the menu, call and hang-up buttons stopped working as well. Seems to be a hardware problem, look for the service manual for Voque and you may be able to find a way to get it to work ...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mprinkey:
Probably a cold solder joint. I had the same problem. Just try applying heat (no solder) to the leads going from the microswitch to the PCB while applying a little pressure to the top of the microswitch (with a stick...don't burn yourself). I was able to reflow mine and make the back button work again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mirth18:
I went ahead and got another vogue off ebay.. can't live without Android.. and don't want to give up on my cheap sprint plan!

The original vogue started acting really funny.. the end button would activate even though I hadn't pressed anything. This would make the phone pretty much unusable.. hang up on calls.. etc. I opened it up once more and just made sure everything was connected but it still happened. A few days later it seemed to stop happening.. but by then my new vogue was on it's way.

Not sure what exactly is wrong with it.. some sort of flaky connection or something. not a big deal now that I have the new vogue.. :)

Hi Guys

After I tested VaniljEclair_RLS7b and VaniljFroyo_RLS2 version on my Pola100, I find the battery was over charge (i.e. display showed 100% charge, but the temperature still warm).

it's temperature higher than winmo os in same device. Also winmo has parameter to set/unset charge after usb connected.

Is any charge program can fix this problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I'm noticing that one quite prominent set of Unicode characters missing from the built in Droid Sans font is the International Phonetic Alphabet. For example look at the article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urumqi

and look at the IPA for the English pronunciation: /uːˈruːmtʃi/

On my N1 and Milestone, the symbol between : and r is a box, and the symbol between t and i is also a box. I have a linguistics background so these symbols actually have meaning to me and I'd like to be able to read them on the go.

You'll see that there are some other symbols on that same page which appear as boxes. The same page viewed on my iPod Touch displays *all* of the Unicode characters. In particular the Arabic-derived symbols in the Uyghur language look awful on Android.

Is there anything I can do my rooted N1 to get full Unicode in IPA and all imaginable languages? Has anyone had any success with this?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] illogic6:
AFAIK it's mostly useless because toast already reverse engineered us a 29 kernel. This is what we were begging for when we didn't have camera on 2.1... Now if we could get a 32 kernel source... :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SONIC589:
damn just noticed that...I was assuming it was the 32 kernel source :mad:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Is there an official .32 kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] akijikan:
nope and there won't be for hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
Yeah, we're gonna have to build the 32 kernel, probably from a my touch source when it comes, although darch or toast (if he's working with hero any more) may be able to compile one before hand.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tejasrichard:
Darch said last night that this kernel is much cleaner than what we are using, so it might be a bit better than mostly useless...but I don't think that it's gonna turn our heros into evos, either. I'm hoping that it will lead to smoother operation an less lag. Time for me to finally build that linux box and learn to compile.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
1. My understanding is that you need the source code to get cameras working in Froyo...at least that's what I was told.

2. Darchstar already has a .34 kernel.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Hero will never see 32 or higher kernel source from HTC. The device is dead to them.

Darch has a semi working camera in the froyo build of his. Just have to use a 3rd party camera app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mrinehart93:
Yes it's semi working, but I tried FxCamera (3rd party camera app), and the preview still lagged incredibly/didn't work.

Thank you for this application.

Do you think it would be possible to make the UI a little bit more sexy ;)

Maybe black would be nice.

Even on HTC Diamond, internal storage (named "Internal Storage") is not recognized. Nevertheless, thanks for the application - I believe you will be able to add that feature!

BTW, you can add some general folder selection UI so that all users could just select the storage according to their needs.

Big thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eried:
I will look if the name of the storage card is stored somewhere. Thanks for your feedback. Please wait for the next minor update.

If it is now defined somewhere I just need to make a hardcoded list for every language rom and device or let the user select the output folder manually.

I think, that shaking sesibility shoud be more sense. It will be cool if you implement some regulation of G-Sensor sensibility on this app.

For example Shake and save app needs less shaking to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eried:
Is not a shake, it is a "whipping" movement. It is as I read somewhere in a coment: "Got to love the whip" .

It can be gentle, quick and precise (the previous version is it a bit slow, but you can see what I mean):

[YOUTUBE]esEzf0KvuTg[/YOUTUBE]

But surely it's a nice request for a future version (sensitive mode on/off), I just like the more "precise" movement detection to prevent undesired screenshots like in a car drive.
