Eurotwice repair service and WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I managed to reduce the screen-alignment problems of my TyTN using the credit card technique described in the wiki. However, it did not disappear completely.
I’m considering to send the device for repair. Repairs for Dutch customers are done by eurotwice.be
Off course like many others I upgraded my TyTN to WM6. Since the radio is also upgraded it wouldn’t make much sense downgrading the OS to WM5 because a radio-downgrade is not possible (correct me if I’m wrong here)
Furthermore: it would be a waste of time to downgrade it just for the screen (hardware!) repair, only to upgrade the OS after the hardware problem is solved.
Has anybody offered their OS (and radio) upgraded device for repair by eurotwice and –more important- did eurotwice made a problem of it?

If im thinking the same way as the service centre would, they would be more bothered about the modifications done with the credit card technique.
I sent my TyTN for repair with an updated ROM in it (and thus a newer SPL/IPL and Radio) It was a HTC ROM but not one found on thier site (there has been NO ROMS posted on thier site YET). They didnt even touch the ROM at all and fixed it no problems. Had I tried the credit card thing I think the story would be different.

I guess your correct.
The thing is: it did help to reduce the problem.
Just for the record: I didn't us use a creditcard but a piece of thin plastic. The kind which is used as cover when binding printouts
There's no 'outside' damage and no tampering with screws or anything else, but the probably notice something when they actually open the device?

I have contacted HTc about the screen alignment problem. they replied that i have to wait for the official wm6 rom upgrade which will be available from their website end july 2007. we r now end july and there is no wm6 download on their site! do any of u think that a rom upgrade to wm6 will help? or is this purely a hardware problem? i think that htc is pushing off the problem untill my waranty runs out!

WM6 upgrade is now available (as of 31/07) for all HTC eClub members.

i'd say its safe to send for repair,i dont think they will care about wm6 and the screen will have to be seperated from the chassis anyway which will obliterate ant signs of mod/repair

Help! My S100 doesn't wake up when cold?

Hello everibody,
I have an annoying problem: my Qtek sometimes prevents waking up! And only a soft reset can power it on!!!
But the crappiest thing, is that the device doesn't power on when it's cold! I have tested it!!! :shock:
PLZ HELP
It's an hardware prob? It's better to send it to repair? Thx
Oh, another thing :twisted: when the device is power off (and I can't power it on) the green led is still acting like normal, it even stops when no coverage is present. If I try to call to the S100, it rings but I can't do nothing? :?
Great forum, anyway. I have solved nearly ALL of my Qtek probs.
I will add these infos:
ROM: 1.06.04 ITA
RADIO: 1.05.00
Note: I have already tried with an Hard Reset. Nothing resolved. The device simply won't power up when it's below 20° C. And I don't know why.
Your Magician seems to be a candidate for the repair shop of for an exchange. Never heard about a problem like yours
Cheers
Uff... Nobody (except me) have this prob? Can someone try this? Before sending it to repairing, I would figure this s**t out! And maybe find a valid solution...
AND: How can I do the BigStorage trick on my ITA ROM? I know how, but with the other languages... Don't want a foreign ROM only for 20+MB...
I think upgrading the ROM can't change anything, if it's an hardware problem... I want an active device in this winter, cannot reset it all the time!
Possible Solution?
Yet nobody seems to have my prob. But before sending my S100 to the pocket pc heaven, I will explain a possible scenario. I've read that cold can reduce the battery charge dramatically. So what I am thinking:
1) The unit is absolutely normal when warm.
2) When the unit is cold, is STILL normal.
3) When I shut down the unit, the LED is STILL blinking.
4) But then -what the hell- it seems CAN'T turn it to the active status.
5) The only thing that I can do is to RESET the unit. Then when I control the battery status is ALL ok: same level as before. But there isn't the missed calls of who have called me when the unit is in this state!
I think that the low temperature affects the internal battery, reducing it to zero. When the S100 is on this effect couldn't be noticed, because the external battery constantly charges the the internal one. But the charge is not provided when in standby. And so the charge in the internal battery drains... making impossible to turn on the device! But when resetting, the external battery is give power to the internal one, and the device is now fully functional as before.
According to this mess, then I only need to replace the internal battery with anything better, and the device MUST work EVEN if cold...
Now I would like to listen to others, just to convalidate this theory...
Otherwise, the device will make a good and comfortable travel to the repairing center, hoping they will send me a completely new one ( I have accidentally scrachted it one time. And another.)
Hope that you will understand my Huff-Puff post. Hope that someone will see this post.
Cheers,
MocciJ
Yet no replies...
This damn thing has taked too time, and so I'm sending the device to the centre tomorrow...
I've tried to upgrade my old qtek rom to the 1.11 of the I-mate: nothing resolved...
Is it ok to send a device with an imate rom to a qtek centre? Lemme know...
my friend has same problem, I flash radio whit 1.13, 1.12 (rom is 1.12)
I shell open it ....
Click here to read of a similar problem
As far as sending your phone back, which judging by your signature you already have, you need an official rom to be installed if you want it covered by warranty. Not sure on Qtek's policies. Have you sent it yet? What did they say about your Jam rom?
Don't try to make the same thing I did. When try to changing to ANOTHER Rom Manufacturer to see if the problem vanish, remember (at least before sending it) to PUT THE ORIGINAL ROM IN IT!
THEY (AT REPAIRING CENTER) WILL SAY THAT THE SOFT IS CORRUPTED!
This way I avoided my warranty. Hope this info will help.
I'm deciding what to make now. Do I have to pay for this prob, or do I cover my qtek with warm clothes?
Or better find a solution?
If anyone has suggestions, I'm glad to listen. I want my pda back (it stayed out for a month, I miss it!).
Do not make hazardous moves with ur pda when it's in warranty. Or U will pay that the double it's price!

Is there any way you can take it to another repair shop? If I had your problem, ie turning it in with a wrong ROM and being rejected, I would just reflash and drive to another city to have it fixed. They would never know the difference.
If that isn't an option in your country, I guess you will have to pay for the repair, even though it is very unfair, because a 'wrong' ROM can't be the cause of this problem
Thx for this suggestion. Currently I have an Qtek rom perfectly working. But they delivered my Qtek to French for repairing (and I am from Italy), guessing that I haven't that option.
The only thing that I can do to riesumate my warranty is to declare that that rom is OK, downloaded from an official site. The cause is that when the Qtek hasn't made upgraded roms, the imate did. In case, I will say that the problem was there EVEN before the upgrade (it did).
There is currently NO SOLUTION to this problem (it's an hardware problem, and should be repaired by the repairing center -of course-)
-----
I will report what the World Startel Communication (the repairing center) has said (transcribed from italian to english):
1)The product is in delivering phase.
2)The product resulted to be irreparable. It will delivered back.
3)The repairing service has resulted to be out of warranty. We are waiting the consumer to pay the reparation (They said they sent me the price. Currently they seemed to haven't sent nothing).
4)The product has come to our labs.
5)The requested reparation is inserted in our knowledge system.
And that is. The Qtek has delivered, considered irreparable, and when out of warranty is ok for repairing? That's something odd... Considering that I've retrieved how to reach the tracking service only by calling the operator... Now that the S100 is in their labs, they say that the prob is in their knowledge system, which I ignore what it means. Now I suppose that the product reached French before checking the warranty, and this would be to pay something around 10-20€, IF I decide to not repairing the unit...
Ok, that's all. Hoping that this winter isn't getting cold.
Cheers,
MocciJ
Ok, the S100 is in repairing again. They will send me repaired with a price of 50€.
Hope that they will explain me what happened. Otherwise, sending it seems to be the only solution avaible.
They will raise up my warranty, almost that's what I've heard.
So this can be the end of the topic...
Cheers,
MocciJ
They are sending it back, but non-repaired. No cost, but nor warranty at all. They SIMPLY deleted my warranty taking it for 2 months.
Now, what's the real mess with the warranty? Oh yes, the ROM was changed from Qtek to an Imate one, official. They find out that there's a mix between these 2 software, and that they CAN'T upgrade or downgrade it at well: is this possible? Incredible!
They "sincerely" said that changing ROM required a new motherboard, which cost the godness of 200+€... Exactly half the original S100 cost!
QTEK CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS! LONG TIME WAITING! NONE REGARDING OF THE CUSTOMER!
Now that my S100 is out from it's warranty, we'll return on how to resolve this TINY, LITTLE prob...
Do we have to cover our Magician with warm clothes? Just let me know your ideas...
Best Regards,
MocciJ

JASJAR firmware update - due next week

Dear All
I just spoke to imate and they confirmed that a full firmware update is due for the JASJAR next week. It will fix all acknowledged bugs and will also include Fax software
Regards
John
The key words being "acknowledged" bugs. It's the unacknowledged ones I'm worried about
RE
It would be better to include a backup/restore software for restoring existing non-WM5 contacts/appointments to the JJ otherwise you would have to re-key in all the contacts/appointments
surlly activesync will just regrab them from outlook if restoring data is actually required, new memory layout is meant to prevent these kind of issues.
on my old BA i upped to wm5 back to wm2003 back to wm5 and all my info and progs was still installed.
we can only hope

I want to believe this, as I have a dead JasJar and have been waiting for over a week for the rom dist.
The problem is, they (the chat support people) have been telling me it would be available in 2 days everytime I asked them (one of them even told me to check back in a few hours, and that was 3 days ago).
I hope your source is better.
Another week of looking at my poor dead JasJar.

it's not really a quality of the source question
when a program get a list of bugs and have to fix them
when he's don he send the software to the Q&A department
they test it and send it back to the programmer if the bugs are
still there or if other bugs are found
so nobody in the universal knows when a piece of software
pass the Q&A
all everybody can guess untill the testing is finished

MDA Vario Rom Update ??

I've had my T-Mobile MDA Vario for around 5 months now, and its OK, but it does crash about once or twice a week (needing a soft reset), which makes it unreliable (I can't receive calls until I reset, and I don't know its crashed till I try to use it).
I also have a problem after soft resets with the alarm.
It is also a bit slow when I have a few apps running, such as Pocket Streets and Word Mobile.
Due to the crashing, it's time for a Rom update, but I'd like to stick with T Mobile for warranty reasons if I can.
Des anyone know if T-Mobile are planning on releasing an updated improved Rom for download ?
If not, what is the best Rom download recommended ?
Best Regards,
Andrew
When you say it crashes, what exactly does it do? I've had mine from T-Mobile for about the same time, a little longer maybe, and the only trouble I have is sometimes after the sync it becomes very slow, I soft reset, then it's fine, but that's it. If you're experiencing something more serious and regulalry, I'd say try to get it replaced on warranty. Maybe you're running low on memory? (if that's th case you can move a lot of stuff onto a memory card rather than keeping it on the main ram).
Regarding a ROM update, contacted them a couple of months ago and I was told that this would be announced if and when... so no set date yet it seems

It just freezes (normally it is off in standby at the time, and refuses to restart or do anything - occasionally the screen is on and freezes).
When I try and use it, nothing happens (the green phone light continues to flash, but no calls are actually received).
I got the phone unlocked through T Mobile, so I don't want a replacement (from the Carphone Warehouse), as this won't be unlocked, and I'll have all sorts of problems trying to convince T mobile to unlock it.

Vario ROM Upgrade
This will make some laugh...
I receently emailed T-Mobile customer support asking where their latest ROM upgrade for the Vairo was located..
The answer I got was "I have read your manual ... and ROM upgrades are not possible".... what a lot of use they are !
Just have to keep my eyes peeled in here...

Screen alignment problem with t-mobile

hi everyone today i have noticed screen alignment problem with my t-mob mda vario 2 , it has serial number HT632xxxxxxxxxxx . it has been almost a week since i ve got it and this is the first time i have noticed it. The only difference since last night is 2 app i have installed. one is ae button plus and other one is pocket music. now i have removed them and tsting it again. will post further.
is there any one having smilar issues?
welcome to the club....
I Just hard reset mine, did not load EXT ROMs and I'm on my 3rd day now...
I justr have my pims...
let us know your experience....
since ihave removed aebutton plus it seems fine but you know once you have seen such thing you get bit suspicious about everything.
I have also emiled developer of aeb but not sure if he will reply.
and I have also asked tmobile what would be the solution. they don't recognize screen alignmet issue as a fault yet and advised me not to belive everything on the net :S
they also won't replace device but refer me to htc. I don't know if another support guy would tell different but since I ve still got some time until free to cancel period over, if I get same problem again I will cancel my contract and stick with old wizard some time
change it.
i go back to my seller (before 15 days) dans i change it, now ht630xxx and no probleme
i have cancelled my contract with t-mobile. gprs connection was crap here

That is illegal under the 2000 amendment to the Sales of Goods and Services Act 1982. Anything that fails within the first six months after sale will be deemed to have failed at the point of sale and you have the choice of repair, replacement or refund.
but problem is, fault is very hard to demostrate. it reminded me my sony digital camera, power button wasn't responding time to time and randomly, i have sent it to sony explained whats happening. after a week i ve got reply. they were explaining how to operate cameras power button!!!
another example is today before i have cancelled my contract i was asking customer care why its almost pain to connect to internet in my area . after sendin trace and ping results via email response i ve got was:
I have received your e-mail as re your issues I have looked in to this as the software is not supported by t-mobile you would need to contact Microsoft for further support
Thanks

I think that if you look in the warranty you will find that this is incorrect. If you speak to HTC and give them the IMEI, they will be able to assist you further.
I just loaded everything on my unit... and it's back to once a day misalignmnet ...!!
It could be the digitizer driver is being allocated to unstable segment of the memory. A dopod HK technician tried to replaced the digitizer and it's no use. He is waiting for the official ROM release for HK dopod 838Pro. It is still on hold here in HK.
He even mentioned that replacing the digitizer with a less responsive one (cheaper as he said) FIXES this issue. But it would be also costly for Dopod to replaced the hundreds released in Singapore. But waiting for a fix from HTC also costing them !!!
Well, it's purely marketing !!!

[Solved] HTC HD2 Touchscreen not working, not responding, frozen, malfunctioning

The Problem: My HTC HD2 touchscreen has progressively gotten worst over 2 months. At first, the keyboard was typing up wrong alphabets, then major function keys begun to malfunction, and later the whole screen. From XDA reviews, I found that changing Radio, WM, or Android ROM do not help.
Solution:
This instruction may apply to Tmobile USA users. In my search for a Do-It-Yourself fix, I searched internet for several days to no avail. Amazon.com sells Touchscreen and Digitizer but their results were inconsistent; the replacement also required time, skills & instruments that I do not have.
Tmobile: Tmobile (800 number) asked me to restore OS, but it did not work. They asked me to take it in the Tmobile store. The store associate looked at the phone, but they did not want to do anything with the phone as I did not buy my phone from Tmobile - they directed me to HTC or a local repair shop. Local repair shop was going to charge $100 for a repair and turn around time of 15 days.
HTC : I called HTC (888 356 2375). As the phone was still under warranty, they offered to take a look at it & repair it. HTC also mentioned that if the warranty is void for any reason, they would charge $39.00 for a triage fee and call me to confirm the repairing cost (in addition to triage fee). HTC mentioned that any illegal softwares found on the device would void the warranty.
Restore to OEM:
I had to restore my softwares to OEM as I installed a newer radio, HSPL, MAGLDR, and a custom windows ROM. To do so, following ROM was flashed :
RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship
Flashing above ROM restored ORIGINAL OEM radio, SPL, and Windows ROM. It also removed MAGLDR.
After restoring softwares to OEM, I sent the phone in. The repair was done by HTC without any charge. After sending the phone in, I had my phone back in 1 week - fairly quick service compared to all the other options I had at hand.
In the process, HTC kept me informed via email regularly. I talked to several HTC reps and they were very accommodating and courteous. I mentioned to HTC that my battery drains very easily. Promptly (in 2 days), HTC sent me a replacement battery for free. They mentioned that as long as the phone is under warranty, they will replace accessories ONCE for free. I will buy HTC again despite the touchscreen problem.
Immediately after receiving the phone, I installed newest Radio, HSPL, MAGDLR & my first Android NAND [HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.4_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024_TOUS]. The android ROM is rocking even harder straight out of box.
Enjoy.
Had the same, perfect service from HTC.
Got it back in a box that said "im back" .. Took 4 weeks though.
This made my decision to stay with HTC in the future.
Same problem, possible not yet solved
My UK T-Mobile HD2 started this in December 2010, I found that 3 or 4 hard resets got it going, but the next day it did it again so sent to T-Mobile repair center, they stripped it put it back together. No Fault Found. Updated the firmware (well re-installed it as there was no newer version avaialble at the time and sent it back to me.
It worked a treat for 5 weeks then the problem was back. Sent away again, Firmware update. No Fault Found (T-Mobile had now released the 3.14 ROM) so I did get an update this time, again came back working. Even better this time as the new radio version allowed me to run an SD Android Build.
You know where this is going, lasted 3 or 4 weeks, same again, Back to T-Mobile Store, this time I did not try a hard reset prior to taking it in, so they could see the fault, I did one reset in store and the fault persisted as it always did after the first two or three, and then off to the repair centre again.
Its due back in the next day or two, No Fault Found!!! Firmware updated
I guess it will be going back again a 3 to 5 weeks.
Perhaps I should drop an e-mail to HTC to see if they can help.
Do you know what they did to yours, did they replace anything?
Cheers Bashy...
My display was soo broken that an firmware upgrade didnt help, not even for a second.
On the repair note (0eu) it said that my screen was replaced.
I had the same problems as in the OP.
Running beter then ever now.

No doubt, Tmobile attempts to be helpful. But, I consider HTC, as a manufacturer, to be well-prepared to deal with their own product's issues. If you have these problems repeatedly, I recommend you contact HTC directly. They may send you a new replacement instrument altogether. I had several positive surprises from HTC.
HTC No Longer Repairs HD2
I know this is an old thread, but I have an HD2 with a digitizer that quit working that I wanted fixed. I just called HTC and was told that they have not been able to find a proper way to fix the phone and that they would not be able to repair it even if I paid them. This came from the customer service manager. Both the service rep and I were left without words. He couldn't believe that this was the response as he has never heard of such a thing. HTC has taken the HD2 out of their repair database. Seems pretty sketchy to me. Obviously they know about the problem and it sounds like they should issue a recall on the product if it consistently breaks on people with normal use and they have no way of repairing it.
HD2 screen not working
They fixed mine on Feb 22, 2011 for free under a warranty. I suggest you do not give them the diagnosis of digitizer is not working. Instead, just tell them the problems you have and let them tell you what is wrong with the phone.
If is going to cost an arm and a leg to fix the phone or a 1 month of outage from cellphone, I recommend you get a new phone from Craigslist or eBay. HD2 are dirt cheap now. Good luck.
hd2 is dead

Yep - i'm not surprised. I purposely bought the HD2 to get dual boot setup. Lasted two months and then screen stopped responding when screen locked. Eventually could not unlock at all. I stripped the phone, put in new screen and digitiser and new keypad buttons and then flashed back to original rom too.
GUESS WHAT??? STILL BUSTED.
So you can try many fixes found online, but I reckon once it busted don't waste your money just bin it.

From what i've seen too, it is very difficult to actually repair the digitizer without causing new secondary problems. I paid my repair shop over 155 usd to repair an hd2 with usb and touchscreen problems and they just replaced the virtually the entire hd2 (mainboard+LCD+digitizer). And it still had problems in the end!

RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.10.531.0_Radio_Signed_15.34.50 .07U_2.08.50.08_2_Ship
Flashing above ROM restored ORIGINAL OEM radio, SPL, and Windows ROM. It also removed MAGLDR.
After restoring softwares to OEM, I sent the phone in. The repair was done by HTC without any charge. After sending the phone in, I had my phone back in 1 week - fairly quick service compared to all the other options I had at hand.
In the process, HTC kept me informed via email regularly. I talked to several HTC reps and they were very accommodating and courteous. I mentioned to HTC that my battery drains very easily. Promptly (in 2 days), HTC sent me a replacement battery for free. They mentioned that as long as the phone is under warranty, they will replace accessories ONCE for free. I will buy HTC again despite the touchscreen problem.
Immediately after receiving the phone, I installed newest Radio, HSPL, MAGDLR & my first Android NAND [HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.4_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024_TOUS]. The android ROM is rocking even harder straight out of box.
Enjoy.

I did it all from sd card and got the rom from tmoble's website..simple once i got it down... if your IMEL# doesent work on current phone use the one on the new phone and download the rom fom tmoble.com ....... you will need 1 exta sd card (do not put in phone) put it in computer and format FAT32 standard......... extract the file you downloaded move the signed ruu file and copy to desktop rename (caps important) LEOIMG.nbh and copy to sd card ance done turn off your phone pull out old sim card put in new one poweron hold volume down...... loader should start... power button to stasrt proccess (takes 10-15 mins) phone will say complete open back cover and hit the master reset..... windows will pop up donezo!!!! i just did it for warranty on my phone with tmoble hope this helps others!
Hallo!!!
I was having the same problem while i was using sd android but only with the touch
So i decided to install nand
when i set hspl3.03 form mistake and boot the windows 6.5 the touch worked perfect so i moved to install nand android with hspl 2.08 but at the end i was having the same problem
Is anyone know what to do because i am from greece and it is too expensive to send it to replace the screen

hey dood, i had nand on my US tmoble HD2 touch screen went out, i have a few posts you should follow if you are going for warranty.
i had to download the software from the tmoble website..... You will need an IMEL number for this ...... or go and try to find your stock rom on the interwebs...... have a secondary SD card (not the one in your phone) follow the SPECIFIC steps and drop your new file on the new sd card and replace it with the one in your phone then follw normal booting steps in the tri color screen.,..... i do have a post that is a quck rundown with a little bit more info........ but the main thing is.... if you send it for warranty you have to put YOUR (country/carrier specific) stock rom on or they will fully charge you....... hope this helps....... other than that its a phone issue i belive its the screen digitizers.... so if not under warranty thats what it will cost to fix
Thank you
Thank you. that helped me as well.

From what i've seen too, it is very difficult to actually repair the digitizer without causing new secondary problems. I paid my repair shop over 155 usd to repair an hd2 with usb and touchscreen problems and they just replaced the virtually the entire hd2 (mainboard LCD digitizer). And it still had problems in the end!
