I bought the I-Mate JAM for my wife a few months ago thinking I could teach her all the cool things it can do like my PDA2K but she still doesn't like it. I was thinking about posting it on ebay, but wanted to give everyone here a chance to make me an offer before I posted it. Is anyone willing to make a reasonable trade or offer for it? She really likes the new RAZR's so I am open for a few days then its off to ebay for it.
post an offer here or email me [email protected].
I will post pics later today as it does have one or two scratches.
Here is a pic
A scratch on the display is a no-go for me. If she doesnt even want it, why couldn't she use a screen protector the time being? I have one on it and are using it.
I sent it to here while I was away and she didn't know how to put it on. The scratch isn't that big either, the flash on the camera kind of makes it look alot bigger.
$200
I'd be interested to know what you get on ebay for it.
I'll be putting mine on there at some point soon With a 1gb SD card, Spectec WiFi card and DeskDock. Not sure how much to expect though. :S
My wife has a RAZR and aside from being thin an light she is quite disappointed with it. As always no other phone can beat the user-friendlyness and features of a Nokia.
I am sure my wife will be disappointed with it also. No offense to women, but with cell phones its always what's new and small.
The cons are as follows:
- wake up alarm wont work if the phone is off.
- fonts are too small (for bad eyes).
- though one could input various numbers for one contact, when viewing, it displays each number as one individual entry.
- the phone's battery can only be charged via the supplied adapter and/or the usb cable (but only when connected to a PC). it does not work with my universal usb charger which i use for my s100 and bt800.
- assigned sms tone does not work if an international sms is received.
i wonder how the motoQ will be like in practice.
How do you manage to scratch the screen like that?! I had my phone for 4 months before my screen protectors finally came in the mail (expansys.com.au being slow, long story). I used the phone all day every day, let my girlfriend at the time use it and my dad and it doesn't have a mark on the screen!
Did she accidentally use a pen instead of stylus or something?
As I said before its not as big as it looks, the flash made it look bigger. But the scratch was from her nail when she was getting them done and tried to click on something.
Fair enough. I could imagine if you're looking straight down at it you'd barely notice. Still, unlucky!
My guess at a value would be slightly over half the standard retail price. I reckon I'd pay that. In Australia Jams sell for AU$900 roughly, I'd give you $500 but I have no money!
Ebay Australia has some in "as new" condition going for AU$600.
Hi , I will buy it for 200 USD. Agreed ?
rexxxx,
Common man Jimmy-Bish just offered me 377.191......
I was really hoping to get a trade w/some $$ becuase I will have to replace the phone as soon as I sell/trade this one.
Alfred, what's my new price (AU$900) compared to the US price? I put in that theoretical offer based on the Australian market at the moment.
(Oh, and it wasn't a rock solid offer. like I said, I have no money... sorry!).
Jimmy-Bish I was comparing it to the 500 you said, I know your not interested but that is a more reasonable offer.
ILL TAKE IT????
IF you'd sell it for AUD$400 including post ill take it it dose come with all chargers and stylus and box and wat-not dosent it?

are you still interested? sorry i haven't checked this post in a while and i never posted the jam on ebay either. i got caught up in the BlueAngel release of WM5.0 I personally have the PDA2K.
I am looking at putting my exec up for sale, but the screen has been cracked not from a fall but it just broke.
How much do you think i could get for it?
Thanks
£000,000,000.02

HTC won't repair XDA devices only orange and t-mob branded units - if you read liverpool's previous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40201&highlight=
I've already suggested a few routes :-(
Richard
Fluffcat; It is boxed everything there, 2 extra protective cases one of which is a hard case not a leather one and also screen protector.
I have already rang htc europe and they were no help. But i dont understand how the screen cracked it was in its leather case and didnt fall, took it out of my pocket and it was cracked.
But if anyone wants to make an offer ill think about it.
50$
i think $50 is a bit little. :lol:
Have you tried PPCTechs for a screen replacement? they seem to do it for 249 dollars
You could try sending it to a mate via royal mail, insure it for whatever value it will cost to replace, if the screen breaks on route it will be covered. Oh, sorry, just reread your post, didn't realise it was already broke :wink:
Regards
what would you sell it for? I'm looking at keeping it as a spare parts reserve for my universal
Cheers,
San
So I'm one of the North American users who got the devices attached to the gay leather pouches that are attached with screws.. Ive removed the 3 screws and the leather case because it's anoying...
I currently have 3 Sharp metal screws protruding (the 3 screws removed drilled into these)
I found out the Part numbers for the proper screws and the rubber feet to cover them.
76H01969-00M X 1
76H01968-00M X 1
76H02025-00M X 1
72H01821-00M X 3
Now I've contacted HTC numerous times over e-mail. Asking where to order... half the time they wont respond, the other times they say you cannot purchase parts, and I have to send my device in to be repaired...
I don't want it repaired, I just want these 3 screws, and the proper rubber feet...
Does anyone know where I can buy these HTC parts listed above? I'd be indebt!
I remember a postiing here about someone who had perfected his "gay" shift without having to send it a correctional facillity
Just did a minute search but couldn't find the posting, it should be around though.
Anyone with better search qualities ? It's about someone who crafted a solution himself.
lol,
I refuse to use that leather case, and the screw mounts are just scraping the crap out of my desk because they come out further than the case... haha
Only reason why I leave them on is because I drag this thing around and don't want it falling apart on me when I'm out.
Ordering parts not possible!
I recently had the vent on my device broken, I honestly do not have a clue how it got broken but it got to a point that I just want to fix it. I called HTC hoping it will be done under warranty, I was wrong! Firstly I was charged £250 to fix a simple wire gauze on the vent at the back of the device, I refused and told them to pack my device and send it back...except that it will cost me about £50 for the luxury of their diagnosis of a cosmetic issue.
I was appaled and requested for my device anyway, I had to log on to their repair website to pay to have it back, this time, I saw that the price has gone down to £135 to replace the tiny gauze or half that just to get the item back...I paid.
I was asked for me feedback, I advised them they're better off without asking me!
I'm shocked that HTC handles things in this kind of fashion...
I used to have an HP iPaq HW6955... I used that phone forever, no issues for years...
Finally towards the end, small things kept breaking... HP had a website where you could order parts... And to my surprise they were cheap as hell too...
Did probably 5-7 repair jobs myself until one day some random idiot shoulder checked me into a cement wall and the phone was at the end of its days (on my hip between me and the wall) RIP! hahha
Still, I can't beleive HTC doesn't provide these types of services.
The solution on this forum is what you need

The solution I remember the guy talking about was that he sanded off or polished something... no pun intended here.
Anyway, he found a way to order some screws that would fit his holes,from his device that is, and he was a happy gaymer afterwards.
I tried "digging deeper", but couln't find that posting. Damn, I know it will be a solution for you. Try yourself too.
Hello Guys
I am a very very happy owner of this amazing device, the allmighty HD2. As one of the early adopters I really know the true value of this beast, ahem, baby
Recently i've decided to sell this device as I need the cash for upgrading to a samsung nexus. I thought I would have enough cash to upgrade without sacrificing this device (i even had plans for putting it in a glass showcase and keep it in my living room ) bcoz i've taken care of it as if it was a part of me
It really looks like new after 2something years...
Anyways, I thought that I wanted to give you guys a shot before i put it on ebay, if someone is interested to buy this phone because i believe that only people in this community can really appreciate this device and its specs, history and future.
I intend to put it on ebay after xmas if nobody is interested here but because i have love thing for this device i would prefer to know it falls into good hands and not some kiddo that cant afford an idevice
The screen is new without a single mark, spotless and i have a ton of accessories to give to its new owner...
I will provide tons of pics later on if there is some interest about this.
If you got any questions just shoot!
How much are you planning in selling it for
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Hi!
I'm interested! My own was recently lost/stolen and I think no other device will be good enough for me
I can asure your beloved HD2 will be in good hands Can you show some pics? How much will it cost including shipping costs? (I'm from Portugal)
Thanks!
I hope your talking about a galaxy nexus... lol just saying and I think there's a section here for this kind of thing
Hi guys, thanks for the interest.
The phone in ebay ranges from £100ish up to £200+ for perfect condition.
Mine comes with accessories though. 2 extra batteries, one genuine htc and another extended battery plus the one that's on the phone
Desk dock for the phone that charges a second battery, 3 silicone gel cases in various colours, a wall charger for the spare battery, it also has a vinyl skin applied to it. Plus its box and accessories that came with it the only thing I've lost is its original pouch.
I think for all the above a price of €200 / £165 is a fair price.
I will post pics of everything as soon as I get home coz I'm at work now...
One requirement only : the transaction will happen through ebay and paypal so we can both have a peace of mind. Upon agreement here, I will post it on ebay with a ridiculous price and then you can make an offer which I will accept of course
Also will post fully recorded / insured around Europe for €10
Sent from my HD2 using Tapatalk
So, we're talking about 210€ including shipping costs, right? Won't you make it 200€? Or maybe could you sell it without accessories for a lower price? The one thing that I would really appreciate is the pouch, because that's the only thing that was lost/stolen with my HD2... Either way, if the device is in good condition I'm interested, please tell me what you are willing to do and show some pics!
Also: I'm supposing we're talking about an european device (given that you have a flag from Greece).
Oh, another thing I remembered: does it come with an SD card?

Its the European Edition bought originally from UK. Bought it sim-free so it was completely unlocked and unbranded (not that it matters now in android world, just saying )
I will provide an 8gig class 4 microsd which is already in the device and if i remember it right, there should be another one 2gig which came with the phone, which should still be in its box, but i will let you know for sure later tonight with the pics.
I will gather all accessories and make some pics tonight from home, its my lunch break now so not enough time for this
sorry for the late update, its a really busy period at work these days...
i managed to get some pics of the accessories which you can find in this picasa album here: htc hd2
please note that the desk dock supports 2nd battery charging and it also has a 3.5mm plug so you can use the phone for playing back music in a pair of desk speakers with 3.5mm input, for example pc speakers. i didnt like that so i opened the dock (just 4 ordinary screws) and pulled this 3.5mm inwards in the casing. of course if you like it its very easy to pull it back out again. The headphones which can be seen in their case there have been opened and used twice, because i have another pair from my desire that i use daily and at some point i thought i lost it, opened this one, two days later found the desire one and its been in its case since then. whoever gets he phone will confirm this, the headphones do look unused.
pics of the actual device will be uploaded first thing in the morning in the same folder (with the same link) and i will update my post here as well
As promised, multiple pics of the device can now be found on the same picasa folder i linked above...
same link here if you are too lazy to look above Da Album Link
htc hd2 is a beast.i heard some of my friends regrets of selling their phone because its capability of flashing any os available .but time wait for no man.technology will leave us behind .cheers

Trust me i know what this phone is capable of... believe me its a very hard decision to sell it. If i had enough money i would never sell it
even if development dies in a couple of years still its one of the most historic devices ever created, if not THE most historic...
Allright, the device seems to be in good condition. Just 2 questions:
- It's got a screen protector applied to it, right? Is it easy to remove? Not that I don't recognize that it's important, but I might not like to see it live
- The skin in the background: is it easy to remove (leaving no bits or glue)? Once again, I might not like to see it live like that
Also tell me your thoughts about selling the device by itself only.
The screen protector is very easy to remove, i have changed many protectors and same quality as this one (the phone has never been without screen protector).
The vinyl in the back should be removed without leaving residues of any kind. Its the first i have applied and i havent removed one yet to know for sure, but its advertised as "easily removed without leaving any glue residues". Its made by Gelaskins.
Finally i dont want to sell the phone by itself as the rest of accessories have no use for me afterwards and i selling them by themselves one by one have no real value in ebay...
so its sold with everything pictured
Ok, I think everything's clear and fine concerning the device. Concerning the rest, that's what I was thinking, but it didn't harm to ask
So, what's next?
Goodmorning and Merry Xmas
I believe that the safest way for both of us, is ebay, especially for you with the buyer protection act. So i will post it there with a ridiculus price of buy it now something like £500 and i will leave the "make offer" option open. I will PM you the link of my listing and you can go there and make me an offer of 200€ which of course i will accept
I will backup my stuff and take it out of the device as i'm still using it, factory reset it and pack it so it will be ready for the post office as soon as the ebay transaction is cleared.
PS: right now I'm with Hyperdroid's CM7 rom with dorimatrix kernel do you need another rom flashed or should i just reset to factory defaults and leave the rest to you?
Good morning, Merry Christmas!!!
OK, I'll be checking my inbox for the link. As for the ROM, you can leave it like that, I like to flash and try new ROMs anyways
Well, my screen broke after 5 days, and the digitizer is completely unresponsive. It was barely a 2 foot drop! Here are a few pictures: one, two, three.
Anyways, with the sad story aside, I have looked into my repair options, and I have decided the most economical thing to do would be to order a replacement front assembly and do it myself. In another thread, I found this link. The drop resulted in a few scratches on the metallic frame, so I want to make sure that's also included in my replacement. Now, that link looks very promising, but I'm trying to save as much money as possible. I have browsed though Ebay, and found similar items that cost about $30-40 cheaper (after shipping) coming from China, but I'm a little skeptical about it. $100+ is expensive for a repair, so I want to make sure I'm getting quality parts. A couple examples are here and here. Are these parts directly from LG, and if so, how do they become available for sale through third parties? It's the quality of the parts that concern me the most. All said and done, I want the phone to look and feel as if it were brand new out of the box.
On another note, I'll be buying this as soon as it's available. I had one of those on my Nexus One back in the day, so I know my N4 will be well protected, even though it's going to effectively turn it into a cinder block. Such a shame that I gotta cover up such a beautiful device, but apparently it's too risky to leave the phone naked...
So basically, I just want some opinions about the cheaper Ebay options, or if anyone has a better recommendation. I've ruled out sending the phone to LG's third-party repair center due to the costs. I'm comfortable doing the repair myself, so I'm happy saving a few bucks in the process.
Why not send it it for a new device instead?

The Chinese make a dead on imitation of the N4. The only way to be sure you have a real N4 is to call Google and ask if your IMEI is legit. I'm guessing what you're looking at are screens for the copies. If you're worried, what's another few dollars for the real thing? I can see if they were half the price, but they aren't.
Also, why not get a bumper or a Ringke case? They still show of the phone.

I bought it from my carrier, and declined a $7/month replacement plan... I could get in touch with them, but I'm pretty sure they're just going to tell me it's my own fault and nothing they can do about it.

Mine is real. I didn't buy a Chinese fake. I was just wondering if the replacement front from those Ebay listings were real or not. I know it's hard to tell, but I want to make sure I'm getting original LG parts.

I was originally considering the official bumper, but I'm not sure if it will really be enough. I don't want to go through the same thing again.
I don't like the design of the Ringke case, either. I know Seidio's cases are great quality, but at the same time, they make the phone huge.

You misunderstood. I wasn't questioning whether or not your phone was real. I was telling you that the fakes are really good. Those are probably REALLY good fake screens. Understand?
Hi guys,
I have the same problem on my Nexus 4 which is now completely useless. Funny enough, the phone is still on but the touch screen doesn't work anymore... Let me tell you how annoying it is when the alarm rings at 7am on a Saturday morning and you can't turn it off...
Anyway, I hope I'm in the right topic and not posting something that has been answered already (I did a research...) but can you let me know if you managed to change your screen Bloodflame? If so, was it easy with the replacement kit that usually comes with the screen you buy. I don't want to go to a dodgy shop that will take me £20 for just a simple screen change... I'm sure I can do it myself.
I recently found one on eBay for £85, which is pretty much the best deal I saw so far (I can't send you a link as I'm a new member, sorry).
Thanks in advance for your help and apologies if the English isn't perfect (I'm not a native).

OK, I see what you mean. Just when you mentioned verifying my IMEI with Google made it sound like you thought mine was a fake. I understand the Chinese knockoff's could be hard to tell apart, and I understand that those replacement parts on Ebay may be fake. That's what I was skeptical about. They might be real, but maybe it's not worth the risk...
At first glance, the price appears similar, but the one from EtradeSupply comes to about $152 after shipping, whereas the Ebay ones are about $115 shipping included. I was just hoping I could save a little cash - that's all.

I only made this post last night, so no, I haven't fixed my phone yet. I haven't even placed the order for my replacement parts yet. But I can update this thread later on with my progress. Heck, I can even post pictures of the repair process and make note of any details pertaining to how easy/hard it is, a specific step that might be a little more difficult (ribbon cables come to mind), or anything like that.
FYI, you can disable your alarm from ADB as long as you have USB debugging enabled. It's a bit of a pain, but I was able to get a few things done using ADB. For instance, I was able to turn off mobile data, enable wifi, and make a full backup of my internal storage among a few other minor things, just in case.
Code:
adb shell
svc data disable
svc wifi enable
input touchscreen tap [x] [y]
input keyevent [#]
Google those commands for more details.

OK I see. No problem then, I ordered the screen yesterday and will also give updates when I'll change it. Hopefully, I'll receive it and change it before you and will therefore give you a few tips (if needed). I'm sure it's not that difficult but we'll probably need to be very cautious. There's probably a few videos showing how to do it. If I find a good one, I'll post the link here.

I didn't know this tip, thanks for the help! It finally went out of battery, so nothing to worry about anymore )
Just a general heads up:
I recently had the exact same problem, wanted to keep my nexus naked but it cracked after about a month. So I ordered a replacement last sunday of eBay for about $135 with shipping, it was not from China, from California. I received the screen yesterday, and successfully replaced it by my own, it was pretty simple and took me about an hour. I have never before disassembled a phone. The screen works fine and seems just as good as the one before. I could have sent it in to LG but they said they would remove all data from the phone for some security reason and I didn't want to do that. But if you have any more questions just ask me, I will be glad to help you.

Sounds great! Yeah, I've already briefly looked up a couple videos and guides (see this one on ifixit) and it doesn't looks terribly difficult. Also, I recall reading about someone who successfully replaced their screen, but ended up cracking the back glass in the process. Might be worthwhile to take a little extra care to make sure that doesn't happen to you. You've been warned

Yeah, I could understand why you'd want to leave the N4 naked - it's certainly a beautiful device! But on the other hand, stuff like this happens and it becomes an expensive mistake, as we've learned.
So just tell me, was there any one or two specific disassembly/assembly steps that were more difficult? If so, did you figure out any tricks to overcome the difficulty a bit? I understand working with small parts and flimsy ribbon cables can be a bit of a pain. I've taken a couple phones apart before, but never had too much difficulty as long as I was being careful and patient. I suppose the same is true here but I don't intend to take my N4 apart until I have my new screen and I'm ready to get to work. Payday is a week away, so it's just a waiting game for me at this point.
The most hard part I've encountered was taking the back cover away, that by it self took me about 15 minutes, if you looked at any videos you will know what I mean. Also when you take out the battery make sure to use a hairdryer to loosen up the strong glue below it, also be very careful taking it out, I found out it bends a little its basically made out of strong tinfoil, but if you do bend it a little don't worry it will still work

$120 ain't too bad, hell the deductible for at&ts insurance is $125. I'll have to keep that in mind should the unthinkable happen.
Google could make everyone's life easier and just offer 2 year replacement plans for a flat cost. No you should never drop it, but we're all human, it's bound to happen at some point. Thing is I want a flat replacement plan like what you would get from a retail store on consumer electronics, not scam insurance. Whats irritating is if you buy a tablet, you can get a replacement plan from square trade, but since the nexus 4 has a radio, it's $10 a month, $99 deductible. Ridiculous!

I had the same problem, first i tried to send the phone to a tech guy to try to remove the digitizer but he couldnt make it, then i bought a screen assembly and installed it myself. I live in Argentina so finding the replacement was not easy. The problem came afterwards when the screen touch was a bit floppy, i tried a Pointer Location app and i discovered that now the screen can read up to 2 fingers and it works really bad (it used to read up to 5 fingers). Is it possible that it is one of the chinese imitations? I didnt know there were copied parts for the N4 up to now
The only visual difference i spotted is that the original screen had little integrated circuits in the screen forming tiny nearly-invisible squares inside the front glass, and the replacement one has no such things.
