I dropeed my XDA 2 and it now has a big chunk of case missing near the on/off button. luckily (i think) its on the black plastic bit which seems to be fairly easy to get off,
but can anyone help me find spares?
I've been to the o2 site for help but that site is as much use as an ashtray on a moterbike if you ask me :x
Any help would be appreciated
Elmo
Check on e-bay to see if anyones is selling a dummy XDA 2 and change the casing over, short of that go to the O2 shop and see if they can put you in touch with anybody who can get the parts for you.
try http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm
see this for comments http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4070&highlight=screen+replacement
also search this site, I've seen many people who had their XDAs broken
Thanks for the ideas
I keep checking ebay for cases, broken units and such like but havent found anything so far..
I hadn't thought about the dummy unit...Funny thing is... I did see a dummy unit for sale just before i bought the real thing and it went for about a tenner :roll: . I think thats called 'sods law'
Also checked a few other sites using the link above and emailed some companys cheers for that.
I reckon there a market here for parts..... I mean as if they wont get dropped at some stage? You can get replacement pc/laptop cases and you dont walk round with them in your pocket do ya??
just need to find the company thats selling them and buy a shed load of them.
Maybe these will be of benefit to some people, a sort of dropping preventative:
https://www.egrips.com/catalog/prod...d=290&osCsid=31fe81c28fe1d8b6445ce6da229a745b
Failing that, super glue your device to your hand.
had the exact same thing happen to me - plastic above the on/off button. I tried poking some black electrical tape down there and it looked pretty good at a glance, until the tape's stickiness wore off.
Same thing here!
I managed to chip one small piece off the black antenna cover very close to the on/off button. But I used a small amount of my daughter's Play-Doh (molding clay) and carefully filled the small hole with that, then when it hardened, I painted it black with a permanent marker :wink:
It worked just fine.
However, I want to replace it as soon as the parts become available...
Best regards,
Rayan
Cool site this - 'BlueTack' wasn't mentioned once!

Hi all,
I think I've searched all sites I know of but am still unable any that offer faceplates or complete housings for our Touch HD (yes, I'm one of those who have the issue with the coating of the faceplate)
Does anyone have a good reliable source which could have them yet?
Thanks in advance.
www.pda-parts.nl
Thanks, but that's one of the sources I know. They don't seem to have what I need.
Or maybe my Dutch is so bad that I cannot search efficiently?
for anyone reading this.. i think he means.. replacement housing for the phone.. the actual pieces from the phone.. NOT extra phone cases or covers..
Of course, I need a replacement faceplate. I thought it was clear enough
i know its .....
probably not what you'll want to hear, but your probably not going to find anywhere other than htc for replacement housing, they'll keep those moulds well under raps.
then your faced with the warranty validity if you manage to source some parts. who's ur service provider, and i'm sure you'll get a warranty replacement due to your devices freezing up / locking all the time. contact them and moan!
i'm sure someone, somewhere will be able to replace due to its software faults!

Hi, I have just cracked the digitizer and screen on my beloved Tmobile touch pro 2, anyone know of a place that supplies HTC parts for this model phone? I've replaced my HTC Wizard's screen a few times during it's service to me for 4 years so I would be entirely comfortable with performing this job myself.
your best bet is ebay but becafeful i hear there is a difference in the digitizers for different models
Saw the digitizer at www.cnn.cn. Good luck!
Digitizer
I found a lot of Digitizers but none of them are T mobile. Can any one find one for t mobile.

Try a search. There are several threads about this subject.
As for t-mobile housing I will suggest to get upper housing from http://eyworkshops.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=6780499 (someone try it out, i haven't order from them before.)
then http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT for the middle housing.
Hope it helps
I don't recommend Eyworkshops, finally got a refund after a month waiting for my Tmobile Touch Pro 2 digitizer.
Still looking for a reputable dealer that has one with the top housing.
I sent mine into HTC. They replaced my digitizer for $113. I know it's a lot, but it's impossible to find them, so at least I have a working phone now!
A bit expensive but I might have to do that.
I found these but they cost $23 each with a minimum of 3. I need one if we can find 2 more people we can get em. Ship[ping will be free so if anyone is into it PM me and lets get these things.

The case is NEW !! the screen is NEW !!

The buggers...
I will try calling the Dell CC.
Till then, is it safe to use the Streak like that!
YOu all think they will replace it??
I have seen mixed responses here at forum..
I am here in Bangalore, India.

I add to the bandwagon who are asked,
" How do you drop a $400 phone ? " !!!

Awww Mann!

Sony.
Dude, did you not get some kind of cover ? I am so paranoid, I didn't use my phone till I got my Otterbox Commuter.
SOrry for your loss.
Did you buy it here in India (with warranty) or bought it from US (like I did)
Ya.. Dooms here!
Ya, I bought it from US only
Scream: Noooooooooo !!
You are right in being Paranoid..
I am really to be damned!
I called up dell, and they say they cant help as its from US !!!
and that International warranty does not apply in India!!!
I dont know, but, Since, I am in Bangalore, I will try to have a visit to the Service Centre.
But, I do not hope much from that!
Can anyone help?
ahh,
Care,

Some kind soul!

But, again.
If any warranty solution is available. I would want it to work, before I am compelled to !
so, I guess.. There is no one here in Dell.
(Or anyone from India.. who has done it?)
Care,
Sony.
You can exchange it with Dell for a Refurbished for $250.00 if you are the registered owner or replace the lcd yourself for around $100.00.
Those are your options. Calling Dell other than to do an out of warranty exchange for 250.00 would be a waste of time since this would not be covered under the normal warranty.
My Otterbox Defender should be here today to protect my newly replaced screen.. .
May I can make you a little better...
Just take a look at the picture...

Like I said,
I am in India, and I dont think I will be making any US trip soon!
So, the exchange / replacement at $250 is not in scope currently!
I am serious about the 100 bucks replacement screen, but, again,
Like I said, It will be like 200 bucks here in India.
That's the problem!
Thanks for your input.

Hey mate,!
I looked at the pic.
that does not make me feel better!!
I am even more sad, that you have a Smashed-up Streak too!!
I agree my damage is not as bad as yours.
I mean I can still operate the phone and all.
(I dont know if its safe to use it like that?!!, Is it?)
Two questions:
Are you from India (Or any country which does not have good Dell support!)?
What did you do about the damaged screen?
Edit: I was trying to check for the replacement screen from ebay, but, the 100 bucks screen does not ship to India!!!
If any of them does.. Puhleeez, let me know!
Care,
Sony.
@All: Please take care of your streak! , Use it like it is your laptop.!
So I'm a computer engineer, Brazilian, living in UK.
That phone belong to my friend fat ass 150 kilos, he few weeks ago brake the glass in 3 parts while play futebol, 5 days ago he come to me almost crying, he just sit on the phone, he said when felt the phone he lift but 150 kilos huge fat ass you can imagine.
I see on ebay for £80 glass, screen and tools, I'm thinking about buy and change by myself.
On that link http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1 you can see how to open easy, and a quick look on the web can found videos where show what to do.
I think if you can see the screen, still working why not keep using the phone whyle you can ?
That is some funny ****.....fat ass....lol
Call the shop that I have listed in my guide. Maybe they can ship it. I even think they may be from India or email them.

The more I see of these cracked screen reports the more I wonder how long before a class action lawsuit is filed against Dell for this problem. Gorilla Glass be damned.
About what I see already the original case is so week, first problem the streak was droped on the floor from about 1 metre, that was enough to made a smal crack on the glass, so week unfortunately

Hello everyone,
I hate this to be my first post. I've tried to research what to do but with a combination of case by base variables and being new to the Smart Phone world I could really use some advice.
Here is the picture of the damage done. I'm with ATT and don't have phone insurance. I'm struggling with multiple facets of life and this happening to my first smart phone within a month makes a grown man want to cry.
Here is the picture of the damage done: postimage[dot]org/image/bu0b0rsyz/
Please excuse me cheating on posting a link Admins, I only have the best of Intentions.
The major hit was at the return button. From what I've gathered, the screen is actually adhesively one with the LCD. I briefly talked with a phone repair company who said it would be over 200 dollars.
I looked on ebay and found a lens/screen replacement for $20.00 - ebay[DOT]com/itm/Replacement-NEW-Glass-lens-screen-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i717-Black-TOOLS-/170922060617?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cbbfab49
Please tell me that this will suffice?
I was using a full sleeve case which needs upgrading as well. I've heard Otterbox recommended several times which I'm thinking about ordering.
Help is much appreciated, and I hope to eventually return the favor to this community once I start to catch up in knowledge.
Thanks,
Kenny

Hopefully one of the elder sages will post and point you in the right direction.. no matter the case, stuff can still happen.. hell, I busted the screen on an iPhone with an Otterbox.. granted the screen hit the corner of a table so that's not a run of the mill issue..
But definitely invest in a decent case, especially if you don't have insurance on your device..
And if you do decide to replace the screen yourself, read, read, read, read and then watch a few videos on how to do it proper.. no need for a risk of making the situation even worse..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The $200 -- LCD, digitizer, and front glass -- are replaced as a unit. Its many screws and parts, but there is a good youtube video for this procedure.
So there's no 30 dollar repair as I've seen mentioned before? It's still functional, will it get worse as I use it? Is there anything I can do to keep it from getting worse?
Please tell me an underwhelming, nondramatic few foot drop mistake isn't going to cost what I essentially make in 2 weeks, doing stressful and labor intensive work. =\
Thanks for the replies.
Three feet is a long way to fall for a $600 piece of some of the most advanced handheld electronics ever made. Pay the $200 and let a professional fix it before you make a bad problem worse and end up with 5 pieces of what used to be a smart phone.
I'm sorry about your your phone. Its happened to all of us at one point or another.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Hello all on the xda, hope you're all doing well.
Once again I prove my nooby prowess by bombarding the forums and hopefully asking a question a few others have lingering.
A local seller has a Galaxy SII for sale for £70 as it's got an IMEI bar on it.
If I were to take the S2 and put my logic board in it, would that also transfer the IMEI and my current system of ParanoidAndroid?
I know it sounds like quite a stupid question but the opportunity could be there for me to have what is essentially a brand new S2 in noble black for 70 quid as my screen has been smashed by a blundering drunkard who thought they'd try and bottle me and instead, hit my phone.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and as the weekend fast approaches, may I wish everyone on the forums a good one
Peace out
When you say logic board are you referring to the mother board?
I'm no expert, but the way I see it, if you replace the whole motherboard and all components of that phone with yours, it should work since it sunds similar to replacing a broken screen+digitizer which many have done successfully.
Maybe some of the folks here who know more can give a verdict, but IMO £70 for a brand new unlocked S2, I'd give it a shot.
Good luck! :beer:
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Of course it should work.The other way would be to use the screen off of the new one and put it on yours(depends on model colour).
I would also suspect the other phone will have more problems than hes telling you.
Thanks for the responses, I found that the phone was just locked out via a lock pattern haha! Guy sold it but will be getting another for sale soon as he works within a mobile phone industry with Orange (which I'm on) so that's alright how difficult does everyone reckon a complete reshell including screen and digitizer would be? thanks guys

that would be an expensive affair though
If you can back yourself to do it, it'd be pretty cheap. Many vids on YouTube showing you how to replace the screen and digitizer. Seems fiddly..but worth a try if you know what you're doing. Getting it done professionally would be a tad expensive.

hi, do you know where to buy a working logic board even used? Can't find on ebay
Yeah eBay.
You can try Amazon...
