Incase it hasnt been mentioned, once you get to the part of raising the body and sliding it forward to come off i realized how the speaker buttons work so you dont damage them.

First you need to remove the long sticker that has the phone model number on etc, this runs the length of the battery slot in. You will see a wire band curl over to the speaker buttons. With a small knife or w/e leverage under this and the speaker contact lifts up and out of the way. You can now raise the body and take off.

When putting back together tuck the speaker contacts out of the way, put the body on and then push the speaker contact buttons back into place. This avoids all damage.

I just found a disassembly guide video!!!! weren't we waiting for this!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk&feature=related
[Desire HD General] Jag_Mackan:
Ive followed the really great guide and now Im stuck at the end.. The guide is not complete and Im one of those who wants to change the glass+digitizer. Right now Im stuck and i have a tear-downed phone in front of me.

Where do I go from here? Dont really feel like throwing the phone into the owen..
[Desire HD General] Jag_Mackan:
I do have some pict from the dissasemling if anyone have a place to upload them i gladely share them

Now lets se if someone can help with the last part.. How to switch the broken glass+digitizer with the new one..
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
Now that would be a nice addition to the phone :)

I believe that is the standard method of getting the phone into recovery mode ;)

Lifting up the digitizer went fine, but when i tried to lift up the lcd screen i cracked the whole thing even though i was very carefull.. Got a big bulb on my lcd screen right now and Im not to happy... good example of "dont try this at home"
[Desire HD General] desireDH:
Any further information what is in the desire HD? Especially what AudioChip is in it?
[Desire HD General] vicedens2002:
The chip is Texas instruments dsp3254.
[Desire HD General] desireDH:
Oh yeah thank you. How do you know that? because I should verify this for my work at university and I'm very interested in how you figure that out.
[Desire HD General] vicedens2002:
Actually I was figuring out the different dsp modes for creating good sound effects, it had snd3254 so I thought why it can't be a dsp processor. A quick search in Google revealed me it was in fact a Texas instruments processor. This processor has SRS built in but don't know where dolby came from. By the way what are you studying?

What should go in a video?

I'm going to be taking apart and replacing a screen and housing in about a month's time (what I'm assuming it will take for parts to arrive). I would be happy to record the whole process.

I'll keep reading and viewing as much as I can in the mean time to know the phone inside out, but what would be good as well is a list of keep-in-minds. When I record the video I will make sure I mention every one of them and show it on the actual phone.

I also plan to do a 'scratch test' to show how durable the screen is. I've already scratched it with a paperclip tip, a Stanley blade and a letter opener. The latter two left marks, but no grooves.

Let me know what should be in this list.

By the way, which/where is the cheapest place to get a new LCD display and housing? I've found screens for about $30 - $35 and housings around the same amount. Note that these are for housings excluding flash cover, battery cover and antenna/bottom cover.

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
I bought housing from ebay uk buy it now for £8 delivered. Now it's £10. Check it out.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=130498980262&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=15122799995

When removing the cover be careful not to pull off the volume mylar under the volume button on the housing.

How's your battery status after the last facebook update?

From what I'm seeing facebook is holding a partial wakelock for the whole time :(

Is this happening in any situation?

Removing the facebook account from the phone fixes the problem... but would like to keep it in...

now I'm trying with the notifications disabled...
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
FB has the highest partial wakelock use on mine, but it's not massive, it's bar is about 1/5 full.
[Nexus One General] evcz:
but the timing is embarassing compared to other apps :/

to me it looked that the android system wakelock were very high too...

i'm trying to see if the notifications disabled it lowers down...
[Nexus One General] HereAsWell:
How can I check this?
[Nexus One General] evcz:
*#*#4636#*#*

then select "battery history"
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Or use Anycut to create a shortcut to the 'Testing' app.
[Nexus One General] jbrinkley:
same here.. uninstalled.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
No problems here.

41 seconds total.

Although I would LOVE to be able to turn off the Facebook push notifications. Despite having disabled everything inside the FB app, they still get pushed to my phone, which drives me ****ing crazy.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I suspect having everything turned off would be why you have a very low wakelock?
[Nexus One General] hexix:
Mine is very low. I set facebook to never check for updates since the last release added push notifications. I don't think polling for updates is necessary anymore. No clue why it even has the option still.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Facebook developers suck balls, that's why.
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Status updates aren't pushed, I'm guessing that it'd fry the servers. So if you want your synced contacts to display their status in the contact popup you have to poll them.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Somehow the iPhone and Blackberry apps are able to use push notifications properly without frying anyone's servers. Email and SMS notifications can also be sent out instantly. I'm pretty certain there is no technical reason why the Android app can't work right.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Sure there is, facebook developers suck balls.
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
The news feed updates don't get "pushed" to either of those devices. The polling frequency is for updating the news feed which you would want when using the facebook widget.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
I'm not interested in wall updates getting pushed. Notifications get pushed to those devices, and that's all I expect from the Android app.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Newbie question, what is a wake lock and how does it drain battery?
[Nexus One General] evcz:
killing the facebook app solved my problem (not only facebook where being very "active"... but also the "android system" was kept constantly awake!!)

in the usage history the system was basically never sleeping... running the whole time :/

as for now I started facebook again... and disabled the notification thing... let see what will happens...
[Nexus One General] evcz:
I can confirm that disabling the notifications "fixed" the problem... no more continuos wakelock when app is started...

dunno if push is really working... (don't appear so... will see in the next days :/)
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Yeah, probably.

The Facebook app is just atrocious. I hate it with a fiery passion. Basically the ONLY 2 reasons I have it installed are 1) Facebook/Contact picture sync and 2) Upload from gallery to FB.
[Nexus One General] HereAsWell:
Thanks :-)
[Nexus One General] goTouch:
I noticed that when you enter chat, it keeps you online all the time. Battery drains much faster.
[Nexus One General] evcz:
yeah, you need to press "offline" when ended chatting :(
[Nexus One General] ranova:
because not everyone is on 2.2 or above, required for the push
[Nexus One General] evcz:
days passed... problem still here... basically I have to kill the facebook app constantly... otherwise it keep stealing precious sleeping time to my poor phone :(
[Nexus One General] /rant/:
Get some auto task manager and let it kill FB for you.
[Nexus One General] evcz:
I would prefer having facebook working properly... like twitter...
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Kind of unrelated but does the official twitter client have push notifications? I don't think it does. Do any?
[Nexus One General] evcz:
I does not have push.

but the current facebook version is basically not working with push... or at least it's only me not getting push notifications...

meanwhile google gtalk have push and do not steal sleeping time...
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Ah, so they fixed it? I know that GTalk used to be known to chew through the battery.
[Nexus One General] evcz:
dunno... my incubus is facebook... when I kill it sleeping time appear to be decent... :/
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Don't think push works for me either (although I thought it used to), I did sign out of chat to stop the wakelock use, perhaps that is what kills push notifications? Will look into it at some point I suppose.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Nothing works for me currently. All the chats messages I've gotten since the update have show up on the website but I never received the messages on my phone.

It looks like they're on the right track at least. I'm surprised notifications are still such a problem for them when almost all the hard work has been done for them already by Google in Froyo.

LOL, a 1600mAH battery for $50, when it comes stock with 1500mAH.

Too bad, only Innocase Surface, not Innocase II Surface, probably impossible since the phone is curved. Pretty sure this is the exact same thing as the Best Buy "Platinum Series" case, since that's made by Seidio anyways.

[Nexus S Accessories] Random Select:
How are they going to make a slider case when there's a reverse chin on the Nexus S?
[Nexus S Accessories] horatiopositronic:
The 1600mAH battery is currently listed at $0.00 on seidioonline.com. It let me check out with it at that price as long as I had something else in my cart (earbud covers).

We'll see if they actually send me a battery, or just cancel the order.

[Nexus S Accessories] slowz3r:
Was talking to a rep in a Tmo store today and they said they showed a case for the NS in their system
[Nexus S Accessories] hyperfire21:
Did the rep mention which case?
[Nexus S Accessories] Random Select:
Seidio just updated some of their products with more pictures. The Surface case is exactly like the Platinum Case series that Best Buy has. No word on how the inside of the case though.

The Active X case still isn't available for shipping nor do they have any new photos of it on the website.

As of right now, I'm going to hold onto using my G1 pouch until Otterbox releases their offerings to us Nexus S owners.
[Nexus S Accessories] egon27:
emailed seidio to ask them if the surface has the felt inside the case and the rep told me it does not have the felt lining.
[Desire General] digo21:
Hi been having such problems with my desire and I cant be bothered with it anymore. Is there any way to destroy it so that it cant be repaired and has to be replaced.

I would also prefer to do it in a way that I cant be blamed for this as I'll get a lot of greif.
[Desire General] thunder87:
simply use your car upside down and drop it from a height of approx. 20 meters (or more as you like) onto your Desire. Problem solved ;)
[Desire General] digo21:
Flushing it would be more appropriate. But I have reported all my problems to t-mobile who are thinking about swapping my phone, is there any way I can do something that I wont look like I did anything and it was a phone fault.
[Desire General] Chris_Lewis:
An idea could be to deliberately give it a bad flash. What about if you try to install your carriers RUU and unplugged the USB cable mid flash?

Please note that i do not recommend you do this and i have no idea if it would actually achieve what you wish. I know on O2 UK if you return a handset for a repair, then return again with the same fault inside 30 days it automatically becomes a replacement not a repair. Not sure if other carriers are similar.

[General Accessories] jenisiz:
Hmmm...did you make sure that the USB mode is set to debug and then the dial up mode is off. This same thing happened to me last night. Make sure that's done. Restart the phone and THEN plug the cable in. I'm guessing it keeps flipping out and there's a red pyramid in the upper left hand corner?
[General Accessories] raylvivian:
Bad Memory

I believe you got a "fake" memory. I have experience of this before. A lot of programmer will be able to re-program the card from 2G to 32G or whatever the capacity they want. just google it, there is a free program will be able test it and tell you the real capacity your card has it. if the price is incrediblely low, there will be a problem. if you got it from ebay, just dispute it and get your money back.
[General Accessories] R-D:
Look for the program h2testw, it will tell you actual capacity of your card, likely 64-512mb only.

[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
I'd say Sandisk is the best quality memory card you can buy. Class 2 and 4 Sandisk work great for WP7 or for running Android off of on a HD2. Class 2 and 4 cards generally have a better random access speed than class 6 or 10 cards. You only want higher class cards for digital cameras where you are writing a lot of file sequentially. For running operating systems where itneedsto read small amounts of data from many parts of the card quickly, a quality class 2 or 4 card works best.
[General Accessories] crawler9:
Received mine today.
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
You should test the card with CrystalDiskMark and HD Tach to get the random read and write speeds and random access time. I'm curious as to how the class 10 Lexar rates in those speeds.
[General Accessories] danw1million:
anyone know how much micro sd card class affects quadrant benchmark scores or general use ?

I am using a 16gb lexar class 6

would larger/lower class or smaller higher class be faster for general use ?
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
If you're using the card to run apps off of or OS files, and class 2 or 4 card would probably be faster and smoother than a class 6 or 10 card... but if you're just using it to store files or music, higher class may be better... at least have faster sequential write speeds.

Keep in mind that the higher class cards have higher SEQUENTIAL write speeds, but they usually sacrifice the random access speeds and random read/write speeds for higher sequential speeds. What class memory card you should get depends on what you're going to use it for.

Higher class does NOT mean that it's faster and better for everything. Class only shows the sequential write speed.
[General Accessories] Dr.FUBAR:
only a slight difference in write speeds...

[General Accessories] Samh1206:
I bought a 32GB SD from MobileFun.co.uk for £100. It is a class 2 but works fine and is pretty quick :)
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
Sandisk doesn't make class 6 32gb cards. But most of their class 2 and 4 cards have write speeds at just about class 6 speeds.

I've paid about $70US for both my Sandisk 32gb cards. You can get them at great prices and they outperform most other brands when it comes to the random read/write and access speeds... that's what matters when using it as phone memory. Class is only important when you're using them for digital cameras.
[General Accessories] Skellyyy:
Guys anybody hear of TakeMS? I've got a 8GB class 4 card off them and a Samsung 8GB class 2 and don't know which one is better. What would be the best program to test them with?
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
I use a combination of CrystalDiskMark and HD Tach to test my cards... you can get access time off one, and random read/write speeds of different data sizes with the other. And you get the sequential read/write speeds with both, but since I use my cards for my phone to run android, wp7, or apps from, the sequential speeds aren't very important to me.
