Below is my support reply from htc :

Me: My HTC Desire HD sim card cover broken. It is so fragile, it made of soft plastic. It is my first day using it. How I suppose to get a new cover?

HTC : Thank you for contacting HTC.

With reference to your query, we would suggest you to back up all your data first and bring your phone with the receipt to our care center in Singapore for servicing. Our engineer will help you to check and fix your phone.

Me : I go to singapore care centre and ask for help. They say comestic issues is not cover by htc. The charges for replace a small plastic cover is 100 sin dollar, which is 12% of a new phone cost. That is ridiculous. And worst case more they need to hold my phone for three to five days just to replace a user replaceable part. I feel so frustrated with this kind of service. I like htc product so much but this had failed me.

HTC : We are really sorry to hear that. Hope you can get your phone fix asap.

Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

We look forward to be of service to you again.

Me :That is the only replied you can give? That is not helpful at all!!!

It is too expensive for a small plastic cover!! And this had been know issues for many users. And other country users get the free replacement. How come Singapore users cannot get free replacement for that?

http://www.htcforums.com/desire-hd/6672-htc-desire-hd-*-replacement-sim-card-cover-*.html

HTC : Please understand that we are not trying to make profits by raising the price of the parts. All we will earn is the labor charge to pay the engineer. And due to the cause of the damage is not covered by our company's warranty statement (actually any mobile phone company will consider this situation as out of warranty case, I should say), it will be really difficult for us to provide any discount to you without a proper reason. We really hope that we can help to repair your phone and make it to be of service to you again, but still we have to take our budget into consideration.

We are quite sorry for any inconvenience it may cause and thank you for your consideration!

Me : I cannot understand. You mean labor charge for put on the cover??? You gonna be kidding??

HTC UK website is selling it at 32 Singapore Dollar and willing to ship to customer.

It is just a cover that anyone, even child know how to put back!

I got a replacement phone this from my provider as my screen developed a fault.

Before the courier arrived I took the battery and sim cover off the old one as I knew they wouldn't notice. New phone arrived. Now I have a spare sim and battery cover.

If anyone is desperate pm me and we can sort something out.

Is it just me or that cover doesn't seem to have the antenna pins on it?
[Desire HD Accessories] jonkwek:
The same thing happened to me on the first day i brought this phone.

The plastic is too soft. Now, the cover doesn't flush with the back of the phone.

I spoken to HTC Singapore, the customer service told me that it will cost me S$50 - $60 exclude labour and GSTax.....need 5 days to do it.

Well, we are paying for HTC's design fault. I don't expect this type of Taiwanese maker to be as customer orientated as Motorola and Nokia. Even the Korean are better. I had an iPHONE that warmed up about charging, they changed the whole phone without looking at it. i also had this Nokia N97 that has a slight clicking sound when the keypad slides out, they change it when i showed them.

Just take a look at this HTC SENSE.COM. I brought the phone majorly because it has this remote assess control via website...something like the iPHONE...but look at it, beside the fXXking ring back, nothing works. And this is since NOV/DEC 2010. Worse is, they are still adservistising on there website and papers...even TV commercials. They know they have an issue with this remote web...but they just don't care...still continue to deceive the consumer.

Well what to do.....:mad:
[Desire HD Accessories] casci:
On same european HTC Accessory Stores is available the antenna cover, before the expected time.

I had ordered a 2 pack a week ago and send them to me tomorrow.

I don't look at the price.

For me is important have them.
[Desire HD Accessories] madindehead:
They have actually said that HTCSense.com is still in development. As for the ring back when the phone is on silent etc, have you tried with a hard reset of the phone? This fixed some issues with mine. I know it is annoying, but it some ways it is the best way to test a service like that.

As for the cover not sitting flush, it is possible to fix that, I had an issue with mine too, and a post on these forums helped me fix it. It's all to do with how you apply pressure when you put the cover on.

As for the price of the cover, that really is ridiculous! An antenna cover is £18.99 from the UK accessory store. Is there anyway you can have it shipped? It's around 40 Singapore Dollars if I'm correct.

I hope you manage to find something mate. And I hope you decide you keep your Desire HD, it really is a damn fine phone. No phone is perfect sadly :( It they were, companies would never sell their next product :p
[Desire HD Accessories] jonkwek:
Hi mate,

Thanks.

The phone is good, but the service sucks. For SIM cover is warped, no way to flush it...i did see some Youtube video on sliding the cover.

For the sense website, only the ringback works. I have everything..from wiping out all the data to factory reset, sad.....still nothing works.

Hi guys my progress:

"Hi,

My names karl,

I recently purchased a DHD (Desire HD) from 3 uk.

after already getting a replacement handset due to hardware issue with the previous unit the replacement handset i have received has developed a issue already, i contacted three and they advised i contact you.

The sim/sdcard cover has split in the centre whilst trying to acsess my sd card ( that coincidently stopped working ) The split seems to go directly through the "antennae" and is affecting my signal.

There are many other DHD owners with the exact same issue, and many have Not received a replacement, Any reason as to why?

I have attached some images for you to look at, if possible may i have a replacement cover please as the unit is brand new and still under warranty.?"

"Santa

(UK - Ireland Support

(Tech))

Thank you for contacting us. In order to help you I require some more information from you. Please test your SD card with another mobile device and your mobile device with another SD card. Please come back to me with your results and your address in order to send SIM card cover replacement. I trust that the above resolves your situation. If however you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

In regards to the "Other peoples/Owners" handsets Its at our discretion as if to issue a replacement, But they should issue there complain/Issues via: http://www.htc.com/uk/about_htc_bymail.aspx and issue a complaint report with photographic proof.

Thank you for contacting HTC."

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Cinkers:
Hello,

I would like to ask, is there any possibility to change the key functions in Motorola Milestone?

I would like to change the camera button into a power button. I don't like the idea of pushing power button to turn on the display when the phone is locked. I would like to do it with camera button. It would be much easier. I know apps like Screen Mode Widget but they only allow to instantly unlock the phone with camera button and I would like only to turn the display on and than to unlock the phone by myself with sliders on the screen.

Can anyone help me?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Hi Cinkers!

Basically yes.

Basically not possible, see my reply here:

[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Waoh, zero interest on the subject !
[Galaxy Tab General] NickTheCreator:
Well, i dont have one, but i can defiantly see where using it as a phone could lead to some problems, even if it does fit in you back pocket. It is interesting that you attempted it though, but pulling it out at meetings...thats priceless :)
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I think the irony is that most of us in Europe wouldn't consider using the Tab as primary phone even though it is a fully functional phone, whereas in the US it's the other way around.

In the UK, we don't have the ability to have multiple SIMs with the same phone number either, but it is far less of an issue compared to the US because we have an extremely competitive market for data.

For example, on T-Mobile in the UK, for £20 (around $32) I can get 6 months worth of mobile internet with 1GB FUP which is ideal for a Tab which doesn't go out and about too often - and there's no overages, just an understanding that they may restrict service if you regularly go over your FUP allowance.

For £10 ($16) a month, I can get truly unlimited internet (excludes tethering) on Giffgaff which is ideal for the more mobile Tab.

When it comes to contracts, I have a mobile broadband contract on 3 that gives me 15GB a month for £15, which allows tethering etc.

I'm planning on heading over to Florida for 6 or 7 weeks early next year, and I'm probably going to get a MiFi of some sort with a T-Mobile Web Connect SIM, but it's going to be a hell of a lot more expensive than something comparable in the UK.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
The thing is since not so many people know what it is, it attracts attention... So it's not very discrete, while a small phone you can type your personal messages during meetings people don't really pay attention (Or think you're sending professional messages)
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Well... I am European... :) (Although I live in NY)

US carriers suck for data plans. I lived in japan and HK before where for half the price I got much better service... Definitely for £10 a month I wouldn't even bother thinking about using my phone SIM card in my Tab to take advantage of my unlimited data plan (Which by the way in the SU looks more and more like it will be limited by throttling down once you reach a threshold.............)
[Galaxy Tab General] silversubie:
Why would you need 2 plans with AT&T tab? I guess you didn't want to flash her.

Your other points are completely valid. It is just a matter of personal opinion/wanting to replace the phone with tab enough. Thanks for sharing!
[Galaxy Tab General] PLinga:
Here are some workarounds you could investigate:

Try a bluetooth stereo headset with a display.

Use the Sony LiveView and wear as a watch.

Type with a tiny bluetooth keyboard.

Get a separate smartphone with a VNC client. Turn on the mobile hotspot, on your Galaxy Tab, and then control it with the smaller smartphone.

How is the Galaxy Tab's battery life as a phone, by the way?
[Galaxy Tab General] heru:
Thanks for the post. I've been thinking to get the tab to replace my I9000 as the main phone, but after I read your post, I think I'll hold it for a while .....
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
I thought about these options... Still not satisfying

Battery life ? I dont phone much but definitely much better than my Touch pro 2 (And I use activesync, bluetooth, etc...)
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
I have trawled through and still do not have a definitive answer on this.

I plug my DHD into the PC at work or my laptop at home, set it to "Charge Only" and my SD Card Unmounts.

Having seen "other" posts about this I uninstalled Double Twist and Winamp (never use either of them as I use PowerAmp).

BUT, I still get the same problem, it is really pissing me off now has anyone found a way around this?

And can anyone tell me the path too USB Debugging, I'm going a bit mad trying to find it :mad:
[Desire HD General] groovebiscuit:
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Thank you...
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
If you made a good search you'll found out at least two threads about this problem...

Probabaly you a have a corrupt sdcard...

Try perform a chkdsk /f and if still happens, chkdsk /f /r

I was getting this and only with /f /r to find out that the sdcard had bad clusters...
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Okay point taken I didn't see those issues, but I ran chkdsk as you indicated and nothing, then I copied all the files/folders to another drive formatted the SD Card, copied the files/folders back and Bingo - still doesn't work. :(
[Desire HD General] chriss66:
U coud buy "dual mount" from the marked, and set it to automount, then your SD card don't mount out. Not a solution, more of a trick to keep your SD card mounted if you use it wile your phone is charging throug pc/usb.
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Yep that has done the job :D

I think it will overwrite ROOT. Root is superuser.apk and su. If you flash new system.img then those files are gone.

So here is the situation. before i use wifi tethering, I can connect to my bome network. After i run the wifi router app, and turn it off, I can no longer connect to my home network. It finds the network fine. tried disabling router password too. It just continues to try to connect but never does. Only fix I can find for this is to perform a hard reset. I hate doing that.

Ok i had the same problem wifi already finds the network but cannot make connection and how much you trying its getting worse. I don't have my own network and hard reset didn't work.

But you do not need to go through a hard-reset. If you trigger wifi manually, everything will work again without problems (settings, more, connections, wlan). If you don not want to go this way, just start your phone again (soft reset) and everything will be fine too.
