I have an O2 XDA II for sale bought new 6 months ago. Device has always had screen protector on it since new and has been in Innopocket hardcase whenever I take it somewhere, it has no scratches or marks on screen or facia. I now use phone feature more heavily and have bought a phone also no longer need gps. All extra items are listed as well as some very good pics thanks!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5768260632&fromMakeTrack=true

Alright guy flaked out sounded like a scam wanted to ship to unconfirmed address basically so he could say he never got it. So I will be re-listing it it looks like :roll:

Hi,
My 1st MDA Pro crashed a lot, so T-Mob replaced it as it was reported within the 28 day period.
The 2nd MDA had the big metal cover bit sticking out, so it scratched me when I used it. T-Mob replaced it.
The 3rd MDA had a knackered hinge, and made big creaky-click sound on opening, so T-Mob replaced it.
The 4th MDA has a blown pixel in the camera, otherwise great, and I am sure the cycle will continue.
I am wondering if it is:
1. Quality control is not good enough in HTC
2. MDA Pro's are not QC'd well
3. The couriers use them as footballs
Anyone else had big problems like this?
Joe
My first MDA Pro was faulty as well. In my case the "a" key when depressed didn't always show - faulty hardware issue.
I went back to the shop who replaced it with a brand new one still boxed and sealed and I have had no problems since. Be careful with refurbs that is my advice.
J
they told me specifically that they didn't send out refurbs.
i couldn't see any evidence of previous activity on them, but now i got an xda exec, and have copied my t-mob ext rom over to it.
i did the jan 06 99 pound offer on data 5, making total outlay 210 quid.
i will get a vario from t-mob since they don't want to give me a decent mda pro and perhaps flog one of them.

:roll: They certainly send out "refurbs" cos I've had some...
External speaker (back of screen earpiece) stopped working. Sent phone back to t-mobile. After 2 weeks I got my phone back apparently repaired and tested... was it hell! Still had same fault!
Send phone back again. Another 2 weeks pass and I get a "new" phone (it had a different IMEI so I presume it was a replacement)... guess what? Same bloody fault!
They then try and tell me that I have to send the phone back for repair again! I politely point out that they've had 2 chances with no effect and in the end they relent and say they'll send out a "new" phone and take my current one away... presumably someone's gonna get landed with it after they "fix" it!
The "new" phone came without any packing and although it worked I was far from impressed by the fact that the hinge was really loose, it was scratched, and it had a 2 inch long crack next to the screen! FFS....
After another few phone calls they swapped the knackered phone for a sealed boxed replacement. So far this one's fine...
in fairness, all my t-mob replacements were fully boxed and sealed.
didn't make them good devices tho; each has been dodgy.
im comparison, the 1st xda exec is fine and i like the blue backlight. i also like the price ;-)
im gonna get a vario from t-mob or something as they are not capable of sending me a decent mda pro. if they insist on the replacement cycle more i will ebay it boxed up and sealed.
I have dropped my XDA exec (very lightly) and the damn screen has broke. I am surprised at how delicate the damn thing is, when i had my XDA2s i threw that about and nothing!!
The part that is damaged is the LCD section
Anybody got any numbers for repair centres? I have rang o2 but they want £185.00 on 01603269927
Try HTC, but I remeber it being cheaper to buy a C500 (sim free) than get it repaired!

I tried to get my Exec repaired by HTC Europe. Sent it to them as well. They sent it back saying they could not as it was different from the Orange and T-Mo versions.
See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38822
How about SBE? They do Jasjar repairs, not sure about other models though.
SBE 0871 2000 995
Thanks so far. it costs £379 for a new XDA exec from o2, im going to give ema call and see what the other comapnies say.
i have noticed that there is a BIG void in PDA repairs, maybe a new business venture
My screen cracked also when dropped from only 18 inches onto a soft linolium floor. I couldn't believe it. I have never seen a screen that was so fragile.
I bought a junk JASJAR from Ebay and swapped screens myself. I am a pretty good technican. It works fine now.
I have a broken JASJAR for sale for $200 US. It has a broken screen and a bad motherboard. Everything looks physically good though.
I cracked my wizard two weeks ago or something like that, i have had alot of pda phones but haven't cracked a display yet on them and they have been with me on alot of wierd partys.... So said that you can't use warranty on that, we should do something about this
If i crack my Qtek 9000 im gonna start crying
This is scary. I'm thinking maybe I should superglue mine to my hand. I've grown pretty attached to it anyway. :wink:
HTC Europe 0871 223 0217- all you get is a damn answering machine - crap
SBE 0871 2000 995 - they said that they do not touch o2 PDAs for some odd reason!!
any suggestions or will i have to fork out £185.00 HELP!!!
I have know some other people who have had the PDA screens damaged on exec, i dropped my old XDA2s on the road at least 3 times, no screen damage, and i drop the damn EXEC on my CAR HANDBRAKE - lightly, and the screen damages
:roll:
luck of the draw
i think it is just luck whether you get a good one or not. when I bought mine the screen broke after one day. it cracked round the corners when i turned the screen. i knew how dodgy the hinges and lcds were as well so i was being extra gentle with it as well. since having it replaced the new one has taken a bit of a beating and is still ok. touch wood. i think my hinge will go though, or at least something other than the screen just to rub it in.
where did u get yours fixed from? and how much?
Ahh sack it, paid £265.00 for a new xda mini S
Hi,
Today I've just noticed that somehow i have cracked the screen on my XDA Exec I have no idea how this has happened, the phone has been in its Leather pouch, in clamshell mode with the screen inwards, in my pocket all day :?:
Just wondering what the warrenty would be like for a thing like this?? Im very pissed off as nothing of major force has touched it, i havent knocked on anything :?: And surely the whole idea of the clamshell & leather pouch is to protect it from things like this?? There are no marks on anything, im very puzzled as to how its happened
Anybody got any info about the warrenty please let me know
Thanks
Matty
many many people have this problem. I myself had it 2 months ago. I was always very careful with my device, but some day I took it out of my pocket and the screen was broken.
I had to pay to T-mobile NL in order to receive a new one, 130 euro, and was forced to extend my contract with another year.
Good luck!

Hi
Search as there are various posts about o2 and their replacement under warranty. Here's one thread I contributed to for starters
Broken screen
:wink:
I too had it happen to mine. The screen is too flexible and all it takes is sitting down wrong with it in your front pocket. Mine was even in a Piel frama leather reinforced case. Nice case but doesnt really do much to protect the unit.
I had mine repaired by pocketpctechs for $259.
I have since gotten the aluminum case and had no prblems since. I have even dropped my MDA on concrete and the road about 3 times with no effects tahnks to the aluminum case.

Do you get the option to purchase insurance for the phone in the UK through your carrier? I pay an additional $6 to t-mobile but it covers accidental damage etc...
Hi,
many people have this problem. Seems more and more like a production problem
good luck

I bought the phone off eBay, as my contract is on Orange and i was bored of my last handset! As such i cant get the insurance to get me a new phone!
Im currently trying to get in touch with the person i got the phone from on eBay to send me down a receipt in the chance of getting an O2 shop to send it away for me!
Same problem here! Feck!!!
I claimed under my house insurance and i got it Yippy. Now which is the best place to get it repaired?? noticed a few topics saying different places. But is any better than the other etc..
Thanks

I dont know what to do with mine! I've gone back to my old phone now (Orange C600), i'm thinking just get the XDA fixed when i have the cash, as it is a cracking PDA. Besides, im going to loose LOADS of money on it if i sell it as it is
Will give the games developers some time to make some decent games for WM5 i suppose :lol:
mine cracked just few days ago.
rang O2 today and they are sending a replacement which will arrive tomorrow. £5 a month for insurance... cant be bad
My six-month old Cingular 8525 now has the loose stylus problem so I phoned AT&T for a replacement. (I know this sounds kind of anal but I also know a lot of perple who hang out on xda-developers are particular about their devices...)
To make a long story short, the refurb looks like crap! The black stripe between the screen and keyboard has scrapes on it, the seam between the back grey plastic casing and the black stripe has obvious screwdriver damage where the casing has been pried apart, and the back side of the screen has lots of scrapes from sliding open and closed.
The only good things I can say about the refurb are the LCD overlay looks new and it is AT&T branded. I have not even bothered to install a battery and turn it on.
The phone I take such good care of looks worlds better than this one. I took it to my local store and they agree with me and have noted the account so when I call the warranty department they will hopefully send me a better one (why not just send a new one and get it over with )
Is my experience typical? When I was with Sprint I remember getting a couple of refurbs and they looked brand-new.
EDIT: My local AT&T store has been great to work with, making calls to the warranty department, etc. but have not offered to replace the phone (yet?)
No your experience is NOT typical.. I have a Refurb 8525 and it looks BRAND new.. nothing at all is wrong with it.. what you CAN do is call them and tell them something is wrong with the one they sent you and they will send you another one.

Yes and if memory serves me right, there are standards in the official HTC Service Manual for refurb devices. I seem to remember reading very precise criteria on what is acceeptable in terms of blemishes and what is not.
The service manual is available for download at my web link below.

I have gotten my 8125 replace last year and it look brand new. I just recently got my 8525 replace and it also looked new too.
I returned my 3 month old Cingular 8525 because the Micro SD card slot wouldn't work anymore (physically not holding the cards in). I received what appeared to be a brand new AT&T branded 8525, no problems with it. It even had the new ROM flashed to it, which had only been officially released for a week or two at that point.
No problems with my refurb either - looks and responds like brand new.
I wouldn't say it was intentional they shipped out a very much used machine - but I would definitely question their QC that one that badly used slipped back into the consumer base. Contact a manager and if no help, keep climbing the ladder until you reach someone who WILL help.
Good luck!
A local store manager looked at the phone and noted the account. I called the warranty folks again and after being transferred several times they are sending me a new phone, which I should get tomorrow. I wonder what OS will be on it?
EDIT: I just booted a brand-new 8525 and it came with WM5 and the 1.40 radio. Time to flash away...

We can still buy accessories like batteries and docks.
No case/pouch though unfortunately
I lost mine. Anyone know where to buy one of those?

If you find yours, see if mine is with it. I swear I took it out of the box, put the Nexus in one once, took it back out, and put it in the box.
Except it's not in there anymore..
these things needed to be bright android green imo, lost mine several times now.
Have you tried calling HTC customer support? They have been known to give pouches for the N1
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
awesome, just bought car dock
I saw the Nexus one pouch going for like $5 on ebay.
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=neoprene+oem&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Some are even cheaper than that. Though nothing beats free from HTC I suppose.
i found my pouch after 2 months lol just dont know why it was under my xbox
I don't see any batteries. Do they sell them to Canada online also?
I went to buy a car dock and it looks like they are back ordered.
When I lost my original case and couldn't find it anywhere in the house, I got one from Hong Kong off eBay. It was only £2.50 including postage, and when it arrived it was clear that it was a second (stitching a bit off) but it did the job.
Then last week when visiting the mother-in-law she looked at my phone and said, "ooh I've got one of those upstairs". Turned out I had left it there and never realised.
I ordered mine off ebay from hong kong as well... found mine in my car the day it arrived (a week later)
$60 for the desktop dock now? They must be off their damn rockers!!
It's worth maybe half that to me. How do they expect to sell those things for double what people are willing to pay for it?! Completely insane. Thanks Google and HTC for the royal screwing on accessories.
