My screen piece isn't right. Is it possible to remove it without damaging the screen?
Also, There is a piece that I cannot figure out where to stick. It was on the sheet with the screen, immediately below it. The part of the device that corresponds to this location does not have enough surface area to be covered by a piece this shape. It seems that the piece will cover part of the buttons (on hook/off hook) as well, if applied.
Thanks!
You have the same problem that I faced! I was sent a set for HERM100/HERM300 (Cingular, i-Mate, O2, Orange, Dopod 838, T-Mobile), and not for HERM200 (TyTN, Vodafone, Dopod 9000, Softbank). They are differ by buttons layout (see Wiki).
Unfortunately, ShieldZone service is awful and does not reply to my mails.
ooh. that's not good. I think i'm going to fight it w. my CC then. How long ago did you email them?
A week ago already. I can't call them because it is hard for me to understand English by phone.
Hi, has anyone removed their screen shield yet?, mine had a line in it, but I kept it on because I needed some type of screen protection, and didn't have another brand handy at the time, I'm concerned about screen damage upon removal cause this stuff sticks fairly well, and left behind residue, I had a full kit, and just peeled most of it off because it was trash, but I left the battery cover, and screen shields on.
Shieldzone is awful. I bought a screen protector back when the Cingular 8125 came out. It was hard to put on and it had small dots all over the screen which I found very annoying. So I call them up and they told me to send it back. I shipped it back via USPS First Class with delivery confirmation. According to USPS it got to the destination but Shieldzone claimed they never received it. They never response to my emails and when I call them up they hang up on me.
Well, now I can say they are not awful, probably just stupid...
Having still nothing back from them via e-mail, I just have received a new shield set from them! The funny thing is that, although it is marked "HTC TyTN" (just like the first one), it is the same cut for HERM100, not for HERM200 once again!
So, there is a good guy there who had read my complain and decided to send me a replacement, but there is no a person smart enough to check whether they make them all similar (=wrong) or not.
Also looks like most of their people are unable to read. They couldn't read my mail describing their fault, but also they couldn't read internal instructions. On a paper inside the envelope it was a printed instruction to send this order via UPS. The instruction was even painted over by a green marker. But the person who actually was sending it had sent it via USPS, just like the original order...
OK, now I have enough pieces to cut the full shield from. But I have no an intention neither to write them once again, nor to deal with them in the future. I don't like gambling.
To add some fairness...
The replacement order is dated the same day that I e-mailed them. That's fast reaction! If they were thinking before doing it would be great! I'd be satisfied by immediate appologies and a change on their web site (if they just can't make it for TyTN actually), but they prefer to waste their money and loose reputation instead...
I guess I got lucky. Mine said just HTC TyTN and it was correct for the Cingular 8525,
I will say it took me and my wife about an hour to figure out how to put it on though... 7 years of college went to waste it looks like
A lot of people do not like the screen, but I love it. I have a slightly jittery hand and the "stick" helps keep me from selcting the wrong thing.
Granted because I have the Cingular 8525 there are some places that are not covered (because the HTC TyTn has the video conference button and eye.) But all and all I feel much better protected because of it.
Good luck...
I (my 1.5 year old daughter) managed to crack the LCD display on my new TyTN(!!!). I tried transplanting in it an old HTC Wizard display that I had, which turns on as blank white and therefore doesn't help me... I have been looking on ebay and found a company from HK that sells new displays. They have generation 1 or 2 types. see here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Full-LCD-Screen...hZ015QQcategoryZ41343QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I assume this is probably the problem I have (??) I guess the display generations are different.
Does anybody have any insight into this? Has anybody replaced an LCD display in their TyTN?
I'll be happy to provide a detailed step-by-step on how to do the replacement if anybody is in the same #$%@y situation I am in...
I'd greatly appreciate any information... I need my phone back...
I deleted your duplicate post in the Upgrading forum btw.
T-mobile Vario II
Hi I have a Tytn from T-mobile (the Vario II). I've been searching here in the uk for a LCD screen also and cannot find one for this anywhere! If you figure it out please let me know, I would be extremely grateful. Taking it to a place called Carphone warhouse tomorrow hopefully they can repair it. Will let you know thanks.
Don't know if it will help you or not, but here it is the part number of HTC TyTN screen, I got it on the description sheet after service center fixed screen alignment issue on mine:
Code: HTC60H00037-01M
Description: TFT-LCD MODULE, TD028STEB1, NEW SUNPLUS, TOPPOLY, TYTN
It was an HTC TyTN with S/N HTC628.
Also try to google this.

OK, so I first tried to place a display from a dead HTC-Wizard in my TyTN - which does not work. It fits perfectly, but all I get is a white screen and somehow it is draining the battery in 1/2 a day. They must have changed something in the display. For now I am only using my phone via voice command to place and receive calls :-(
I ordered a new display from http://stores.ebay.com/hitechhk
They claim as I mentioned to have TyTN displays with generation 1 or 2 although the image says they are displays for O2 mini. I sent a query asking what generation would I need based on photos of my broken display (which looked different than both!). I got a reply that their tech was looking at the pictures to determine which display I need and then got a response that the item shipped - that's communicating across the globe for you... Anyway, my new display is on the way and hopefully it works. I have no idea what they shipped.
I looked at some of the links posted by mikechannon and pof above and these sites seem more B2B (no place to place an order).
Anyway, I'll let you know as soon as it arrives (it shipped 2 days ago) if I'm lucky or not. If so - it's a pretty easy solution. If not...
OK, I am very confused now...
I got my display yesterday from hightechhk - it is not compatible.
Quite frankly, it is identical to my old HTC wizard display and only produces a blank white screen on the TyTN.
Note that this is part number TD028STEB1 and despite the previous mentions that this is TyTN compatible - it is not in my case...
I am back to square one - trying to get an exchange / refund from hightechhk.
Otherwise, my only route will be repair by HTC America (if they take it...).

I just wonder if there is something else wrong and the replacement screen is fine - possibly digitizer. Have you tried a hard reset?
I just decided to start my contingency plan - repair by HTC.
This ordeal started by calling HTC America, who forwarded me to HTC UK.
I need apparently to send my phone to the UK for repair...
Anyway, to your question - I dare not try a hard reset yet until I am officially ready to send my phone for repair to HTC. The reason is that I am using the phone via voice command (the display is dead - so no dialing there...). If I hard reset - I can really only answer incoming calls...
Anyway - I'll give it a try before I ship it, although I doubt it will work.
I have been around many places in the UK...
and can only find two places which will repair it, both costing £150!!! ygeller
do you have the number for HTC in the UK thank you very much hope you get the screen fixed.
I got these numbers: +44 (0) 8458900079 HTC UK
+44 (0) 1202714530
After talking to someone on the first number I was told to call the repair center:
+44 1 908556464 repair center
The repair center hardly answers - you leave a message and they call you back.
I then went to http://support.htceurope.com and created my own repair request. I got a price estimate which was more like 100 GPB including shipping to the US and 5 days typical turnaround. The website generated the RMA process and claimed to have sent me an email with the return instructions - so far, I have not received the email... unbelievable...
Yes. The price sucks. Then again having paid so much for the phone and not being able to use it sucks more...
Yep that ties up with this site:
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/cs_by_phone.html
Mike
For reference, I now finally see that the part number I am missing is:
60H00056-00M
the part I got from HK (fits the HTC Wizard) is 60H00037-00M
Hence the mismatch.
Searching the "37" part on google yeilds all sorts of results.
Searching for the "56" part yields nothing... to new? :-(
ygeller Thanks!
Thank you very much ygeller, you have saved me at least £50 and the turnaround is a lot shorter than the 4 weeks I was quoted somewhere else. The internet is a wonderful place most of the time seriously thanks again! Hope all goes well with yours once you get it back.
Problem
Hi!
I have similar problem.
While the charge of battery is over 95% touch screen response me, but later no, rest of device continues working perfectly.
Ygeller, what generation of lcd purchase you?
Ì'm sure that the 1st is not for my device (vodafone v1605 HERM200) but i'm not sure if 2nd will be correct for me.
And if somebody has passed him similar problem and has a solution estaria him very thanked for if me it explained it.
Excuse my bad english.
It was neither gen1 or gen2.
The display they sent me was simply incompatible. It was a Wizard screen - not TyTN.
I couldn't find anywhere on the web a replacement part for TyTN, so I sent it for repair by HTC.
Tytn LCD Module
Just read through thread - trying to pick up on LCD module suppliers.
It seems there is some confusion as to the type of LCD the HTC Tytn and its various "brother" PDA use. Here is what I found out after some extensive correspondence with a supplier in China:
There are a number of incompatible LCD modules each of which is fitted with its own video controller. The marking (usually) with a big sticker on the ribbon like connector states which type is used.
These are the descriptors to look for and order by:
Samsung - LTP280QV-E01
Toppoly - TD025STEB1
Hitachi - TX0704APAA1
The other codes mentioned in the thread are equivalent:
Hitachi - 60H00056-00m
etc...
In any case if anyone knows where to find the Hitachi I would be very happy!
I just got finished replacing the screen on my 8525. I got it from e-bay (gold electronics) had good service and got the exact screen for my phone. around 79 + shipping.
Which screen did you replace?
Info on Tytn LCD Types
Hope this sorts the "White Screen" business out...
These screens differ in the controller they need.
HTC has diversified its use of LCD modules probably to cut prices... but it is a pain to fix!

Hello i have a Cingular 8125, the problem is that the Q key doesnt work anymore, i had recieved it like that when i bought it a week ago off of ebay, i was wondering if there was a way to fix this? i was reading the service manuals, i was wondering are all the HTC wizzards the same on the inside because maybe i could get a replacement keyboard and put it in myself?

I think DIY is a daunting project.
I do remember that when 8125's first came out there were a lot of reports of faulty keyboards. I would certainly go back to your eBay seller if I could.
There is a parts and repair company that can probably fix this but it's not cheap: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...rs-full+service+repairs~action~updateunit.htm
Hi all
just received my new hermes - well actually my second
First one had a thing with the keyboard - often when i slid the keyboard out, it did not work, and i had to press the reset key to start the keyboard working again.
So, sent that one back and new one arrived yesterday, this one with wm6 on it
blow me if it doesn't have the same feature - or am i missing something obvious?
Sorry! I guess you'll be getting a third! They are worth it. I love this bad boy! Good luck.
While the invitation to blow you may be appealing to some, I'll pass
Anyway, did you check the IMEI number? I wonder if they did not just upgrade the software and send you the sane damn phone! That is a remarkable coincidence otherwise.
Anyway, it does sound like a hardware problem. I would take it to my local store and have them fiddle with it for me, just to make sure there isn't some odd thing, but it DEFINITELY sounds like a bum unit to me. Good luck.
I really like the Orbit 2, its a great device BUT within weeks of getting mine, the rubber wheel fell off and it went back for a replacement.
It's happened again with my second one and so it's off for replacement again - I'm only a couple of months in to my contract and already I'm getting my third device!
How's it been working out for everyone else who owns an Orbit2? Any major issues? How's everyone feel about the device?
Is anyone fed up enough with it that they are looking to change?...possibly to the Diamond (which I have been considering). I had no issues with my original Orbit which I also loved but if this one keeps playing up then I'm gonna have to look in to canceling my contract and possibly getting a HTC Diamond - has anyone any thoughts on the Diamond as an alternative to the Polaris/orbit2?
Cheers!
Edit: Just realised I've posted this in the 'upgradeing' sub-forum rather than the Polaris forum, apologies for that! maybe a mod could move it if needs be? ta!
The wheel fell off mine too.
Least they replaced it and the new one is going well
I'm hoping this doesnt happen to mine, I'm not on contract with O2 and bought the phone off steelbay. Is there no way you can re-attach it yourself with locktite ?
Nogs
i have O2 OrbitII for more than a month and no problem at all
i bought it from eBay too
nogs - there's a load of other threads about this rubber wheel problem, its quite a big issue but I think others have managed to stick it back on somehow (as long as it hasn't been lost!)
I tried superglueing one of mine and screwed up the rubber!
I'm on my fifth Orbit 2 since April. The rubber wheel fell of three of them and the data connection of the usb socket failed on the fourth.
O2 suggested another handset, but there's nothing really suitable, it's a real shame as the phone is great when it's in one piece.
That's mad! to be fair though, it's cool of O2 to keep sorting it out for you and for and it's reasuring that they offered a different handset. I see what you mean though, there's not much else to choose from at the mo when it comes to O2!
My thrid one has just arrived, so far so good I'll see how it goes. They are great phones aside from these issues.
I'm using my Orbit for over 6 weeks now and I'm very happy with it. Never had any probs with the wheel or anything else and hopefully I wont considering I've voided the warranty by unlocking the phone,installing new radio and new rom on it.
I use my Orbit heavily as an mp3 player and the only minor issue I encountered was with the mini usb connector when I plug in the wired headset or an adapter for headphones. 2 weeks ago one of the earphones on the wired headset even stopped working bc of the connector. (its the headset not the phone) I wish HTC would have integrated a TRS connector..
*And yes I want to change it bc I don't have video acceleration, accelerometer built in and VGA screen but I won't do this until HTC Android is out or if it takes ages until they'll release it I'll go for whatever will be available in spring/summer 2009. So far the device does everything I need and I'm very happy with all the other functions.
I have O2 orbit2 now 3month.. ring is no problem but camera button is too bad..
it makes feel hard to press button.. how about you?
yup, camera button is very hard to press
i thought that there's some dirt underneath, but it's not
it's just hard button ...
luckily i don't use it that often
Thought I'd update this for the hell of it. I'm now on my 4th Polaris - good times!
I'm on my fourth too, gonna be sending this one back aswell!! 3 wheels and a failure! The wheel fell off this one in 4 days!
Think I will superglue it on next time!!
On the upside I did get 3 complete box sets with all the accessories!

Me to!!!
I've a big pile of accesories and no idea what to do wit them, including 3 spare car kits and a battery I kept.
is it just me or does it seem like only the orbit jas the issue with the ring falling out? does anybody have a touch cruise that the button has fell out off?
I've got an Orbit 2 and it's just started falling apart. First the screen became separated. I think it's the digitizer as it still works, but i can see liquid in between the layers.
Then a week later the rubber ring fell off.
Not sure what to do as I bought it on eBay... Any suggestions?
I love this phone and would like to get it replaced...
Might be worth calling the manufacturer to see if it's still covered by a warranty then if it is you should be able to get it repaired or replaced. Failing that, you may have to cut your losses and put it back on EBay or pay for it to be repaired.
