So i'm in saudi arabia now for the holidays and i'm going to trade my K-Jam (Wizard) in for a jasjam. Today i stopped by the Axiom service center, which is one of the most popular warranty providers here, and i asked them about the screen alignment issue and the guy told me he's had no problems with the JasJam.. is that right? I've looked in the wiki and didn't notice anything about the JasJam so i just wanted to make sure.
My other quetions pertain to rom's and programs but i guess i could figure all that out when i get the baby in my hands. But is there anything else i should be aware of before hand?
Thanks in advance and i look forward to moving over to the Hermes thread!

Well as regards the Screen Alignment problem I believe this is far less of an issue than it was. I do still see the odd comment though, that someone with a newer device has a problem.
You are obviously not new to the forum and I guess you've looked around the Hermes posts but maybe this one is relevant?

Might also want to search a bit on video playback issues regarding the likes of Coreplayer (TCPMP) where there have been issues. Also some issues with bluetooth might be worth searching. Wifi range maybe an issue 10-15metres ok but weak over this distance. One or two with slack/loose sliding keyboards - check if possible for firm clicks on open and closed when buying. Less of an issue now but some keyboards have slightly unresponsive keys - work but need very firm or firmer press again check on purchasing if possible.
Just some thoughts, despite any niggles a great device.

Thanks for your reply. As for software issues, i've read posts about them and figured thats something i'd deal with when i get the device, i'm mainly concerned about hardware issues. Wifi is pretty useless to me on a daily basis because i have the unlimitted data package, which i abuse to the MAX! that brings another question, hows the batter with a data connection always on? because the nokia N80 doesn't last through the day with its UMTS bands on.
The sliding mechanism, even if i knew nothing about the device, thats something i'd automaticly check, the sliding integrity. Also i remember about 2 months ago reading about issues with the sticky/hard keys, i'll check that out as well, but pretty sure most stores won't let me put the battery in it till i pay and after that i have to deal with the company that the device's warranty is under.j
i'm gonna do some more snooping around in the hermes thread but what bluetooth issues are you talking about specifically? i don't use a bt headset, but i might buy a stereo one if the battery can handle about 4 hours of music playback a day. Also that fossil/sony ericsson BT watch looks pretty neat, might grab one of those as well, but i just treated myself to a Concord Saratoga with the chronographs 3 days ago so don't need another watch
Thank you mike for your input and i'm really excited to get this device! i'm supposed to attend 2 christmas parties tonight, pretty sure i'm either going to be in the corner playing with my JasJam or at my parents place watching it charge!
Happy playing with new toy!
The bluetooth thing is more software than hardware, the following will give you some idea:

Thanks for your replies, i skipped my best friends X-Mas dinner to go buy my Hermes... haha, its ok he's a tech freak as well and he'll understand. Just plugged in my baby into the charger and my girlfiends jealous already so can't touch it for 8 hours... so my girlfriend will keep me occupied till then
Now i've got to figure out which is the best rom and and whats the best case for me... i don't want to put a scratch on this thing, unlike my K-Jam which looked like it went through a war!!
Thanks again, heading over to the upgrading and accessories thread to bug some people there

im looking for someone to direct me to a place where i can get parts for my Wizard..
I dropped my phone the other day, and the power button seems to have broken off the circuit board, this has happened before as well i just resoldered itmyself, but it has come to the point where the leads are about to fall off the switch..
And recently i also ended up breaking the rocker switch thats required to adjust volume on the phone and the speaker.
I need a place to get those 2 switches.. anyone have any idea where to look!!
thought about a new phone, but i just cant live without a touch screen and keyboard now i want my wizard back up and working
Thanks
First...help save my phone is the LAST thing you want to type if you want help. We will post simply to tell you to read the damned stickies. I am assuming then, that your phone was not insured. If it was in fact insured, it probably can be replaced using insurance, or I'd suggest ebay or craig's list. Good luck finding parts.
whoa sorry man.. i was just having a little fun.. didn't mean to be demanding there or anything..
I did have a look in some of the stickies, and faqs infact i posted in the buy sell trade broken thread too.. i thought id just ask again if anyone has had any luck buying parts from other sources..
Yes it is not insured..
and HTC america doesnt seem to have the parts.
that's all no need to get angry.. i apologize for my topic
I apologize...I was not angry, I simply was trying to say that we get so many "help..." threads, that often they get passed over, or looked at simply for us to say RTF stickies. I think you will get a better chance of help for parts if you topic'd it as such.
I still think that barring the busted wiz thread, ebay or craig's list would be your best bet. Also, you may check HoFo...they used to have a thread for folks selling busted devices.
oh ok... sorry about that then
yeah ive ben making the nightly rounds on hofo, craigs rfd, ebay not much luck the ones people are selling are working condition lol and a good chunk of change. I guess ill keep scouring.. if i find nothing i might just head over to a few small electronic shops and se if i can find a different switch to replace it with..
honeslty i was checking out a few other phones, and for those on a budget, feature wise you just cant beat the wizard. i dont think i could ever go back to a non touch screen phone.
Anyone know where i can get a replacement backplate? I have googled forever today and came up with sqat. I sent an email to the HTC website hopefully they may get back to me soon.
Aha I did that last week and have totally bashed up the corners of the device dropping it on to concrete.
OMG, sorry to hear about your loss buddy, hope you get it sorted.
yer hurts to hear
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/HTC_Accessories/HTC_HD2/HTC_HD2_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html
cheap just to get you by for now....
If anyone has a bricked HD2 i would quite happily buy the backplate from them?
HTC replied to look at their website - duh, i already did that as explained to them. My O2 said they cannot find anything in stock lol
Madness
I am actually amazed that neither O2 or HTC are willing to supply me with a replacement backplate - HTC saying that they do not have them on their website, O2 denying all responsibility.
Wondering what my options are??
I'm actualy amazed that people are so rich to take their high-end mobile phones to party and waste themselves (with the phone). How about having old nokia pub phone? Or being more careful? I guess you should check ebay and other auction to find some destroyed HD2 for these parts.
Btw, how did you managed to lose the backplate? I cant even take it out most of the time (have to really try hard).

Agreed, I contacted HTC 3 times and each time they completely didn't even acknowledge the backplate question and just talked about my other points (sms etc). I have to say their customer service has so far been terrible.
I should hopefully be getting a replacement HD2 from vodafone in the next few days if I didn't have to give my old one back I might have been able to send you the backplate, though it was loose on one corner anyway... You might have to make do with the extended battery one for now till the backplate replacements come (surely they will come eventually?)
I think you are probably right about having to get the extended back cover/battery - which does not ship until march (its laughable)
Sorry mate but I couldn't keep the cover for you, the bloke checked it over this morning when he collected it, so extended battery (when it comes out) might be the way to go, or by then they might have the normal versions out?
I have a spare !!
Strangely enough, I actually have a spare backplate, for the HD2. I recently had to send back my HD2 for repair and had to remove battery and backplate before sending, when it was returned (within days 30thDec till 5th Jan, very impressed), it appeared with another.
Although it's always useful to have a spare, I would love to help out, I always come to these forums to find fixes and such, and not clever enough to normally help anybody out, however as luck would have it, this might be my opportunity
Let me know if I can help ........
not so much a problem, friends of mine found themselves married after parties!

If anyone else has a decent backplate spare then I would be willing to buy it off them.

Hi everyone!
I got some questions but first off I'll go ahead and give the background story of everything.
I bought my HD2 about 2 years ago, now when it finally got payed of (20/01 -12) of course I dropped it for the first time ever and the lcd screen totaly 'died'. I have always loved this phone, but to send it to an repair-store is not an option as it costs 1789 SEK (Swedish 'krona') -is something like 269,03 USD. Not much maybe but for an 2 years old phone, thats too much. /Money I rather spend on a new phone..
Tomorrow I will most likely go and buy the Galaxy Nexus, but still think the HD2 is worth saving, what im thinking of is to order an LCD and try it myself. If I make it worse well, then It wont matter.
My questions:
* After searching for LCD's they say "..for model T8585"
- I guess all HD2 (exept T-mobile maybe?) has this model-nr..? On my box anyway its say T8585.
* Some stores that also say "for model T8585" also say "only US"
- Well, I guess they dont mean "only shipping in US" as its the same store/site that sells other not saying "only US". Is this model-restrictions and how will I know the screens will 'fit' my Leo?
* Is there anything else I should look for exept the model number (T8585) to be certain that it will work/fit ?
Also I will attach a picture of how the screen looks like turned on so you maybe can tell me if I need to replace more than the LCD (Digitalizer/touch screen)
I saw another, old, topic about this but the picture was gone and I guess he could see and then thereby use his cellphone to test if the touch-screen/digitalizer worked wich I cannot.
Might be hard to tell, I dunno..
-If anybody know an reliable store/site that ships to Sweden that sells screens or right screen you would make my day if you could provide me with link.
-Also if they dont/or if you dont know -ship to Sweden; please provide link.
Another question that doesnt have anything with this topic (other than I would have needed this 3 weeks ago ) if there is somewhere to find an Otterbox case for HD2? I know they dont support Leo no longer but I will purchase it for the Galaxy Nexus also so would be nice if it could be found for HD2 also.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: And yes, I have searched the forum. All I find is dead links, non-helpful etc etc.
Oh thats not so good
I dropped mine a while back and cracked the screen big time. Decided id repolace the digitizer but it was only when i got it all apart that i found i needed more expert knowledge than i possess to put it back together. Which all meant another £50 to buy a digitiser/lcd combo. Theres plenty on ebay, such as http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110758732279?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
You could always ask the question about whether this is the right model for you. They should be able to help.
Its a bit of a faff to fit the new screen, but if your in the middle of a contract and cant do an early upgrade it is possibly an option. Or just get another one if you can upgrade....

You should buy whole combo(LCD+touchscreen) in order to do a fine job(it will be much easier for you this way, with good quality in the end). Doing like this it doesn't matter what version/type would be (US or whatever), 'cause they are interchangeable: some rumours indicate US version to be better by quality.
Ebay could be a source for you...
Good luck!

Thanks alot bib*oops, that was of great help!
I was actually thinking of buying a combo, lcd&touchscreen, as Im not 100% sure that my touchscreen still works as it should.
-Didnt know the rest (about the screens) so thanks, oh hundreds of thanks to you!
How can one choose combo assembly?
There is one for T-Mobile HD2 and one for European HD2.
This one says that its for T8585
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120745779165?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Is T8585 only european? Or are they both(T-Mobile and European) marked as T8585?
Is this one compatible with european?

Yea I had the same question but then saw something somewhere saying that T-Mobiles version of HD2 is slightly larger (longer or wider -dont know exactly wich -or both) and therefore I will go for one that is stated for EU-model and would suggest you to do the same, depending on what type of HD2 you've got.
Hello!
Dropped my phone the other day and the screen is unusable.
There are glass, but also touch screen.
I have picked apart the entire mobile now.
But I will not further how I can remove the glass or access the touch screen.
Come this far .. (haha sorry for all the dust)

Find 5's impossible to buy at oppo anymore: (
Grateful for answers.
Wow, that looks like an almost impossible task
what do you mean by Find 5 being impossible to buy at Oppo, I bought mine 2 weeks ago from oppostyle.com (webshop europe), it is even for sale (probably because the release of the Find 7 in the near future)
maybe this thread at oppoforums can be of some assistance ?:

When i wrote, it was "out of stock", when i look nog "in stock"..
But i will try to get my find 5 to work, then i maby buy Find 7 or the Oneplus +..
my thread in oppo forum. http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/screen-replecement.8538/
I changed the display in Bangkok headquarter. Really hard to find and expensive. Cost 4000 THB which is around 130 dollar.
Really hard to find the headquarter but otherwise it will need up to 2 weeks to change it.
Also tried some mobile stores but no luck with that, found only one guy who was able to do it but also wanted the same price.
Btw now my earphone plug isn't working anymore :/
So im gonna attach my question here.
My Find5 Screen is shattered, but the content is displayed all right. So i just need a new digitizer like that, or am i wrong?
Hey guys.
I have changed my display twice using this guide.
@ BL4CK_92: I would get a complete screen with both a touchscreen and a digitizer since it is almost impossible to separate the two without breaking them.
You can find it quite cheap on ebay now.
edit.
I can't post links yet it seems.
Just make a search on youtube for "oppo find 5 screen replacement" and you will find it. The guide is made by a guy named Omar Ali.
It worked well for me.
