Pictures of the insides of an XDA II

Long overdue, here's the pictures of the insides of an XDAII we took a while ago. If you click the images, you get the original version. The originals can be up to 1.5 MB a piece.

Any tips on opening up one of these beasts, I have to do a motherboard transplant and dont wish to destry 2 machines in the process, any advice greatly appreciated.

Any tips on re-connecting that ribbon cable for the LCD screen? I tried everything to get those little spring loaded pokey things under the retainer clip but couldn't. Ended up breaking the retainer. So I just stuck a piece of film negative in there to hold it down. Not really professional, but that connector is a *****. What were they thinking?!?!

A while ago, I published a graphical step-by-step procedure to fix the a speaker problem on MDA2, i-Mates, Qtek2020, etc, etc...
I created a spanish and an english version, but somehow I forgot where I published the english version... :roll:
But you can check the spanish version here...
It's very straightforward since the pictures have illustrations so I'm sure you will get the idea just by looking at the pictures... :wink:
Good luck!

the 14th pad of my XDA2 is miss.
I wanna solder 14th pad of connector with test pad.
Can you help me to measure the test pad for pin 14 ?

thanks for the links . it was my first post here and you replied so quick. keep it up

Hi gays!...

Please note that you can't change parts between XDA II and MDA II.
The PCB and screen are different between those models.
Note that the screen on the MDA II is different than XDA II. MDA II screen's back light is much darker than of the XDA II.

Mda pro / Jasjar - the differnces please !

I am about to buy the JJ.
However i'd like to know the exac differences between 'em.
cpu? performance? apps? interface?
I juz wanna know once N for all !!
10x guys !!
:wink:

One has some text on the lid saying: "JasJar"
The otherone has some text saying "MDA Pro"
That's all there is!
There are differences in the shipped ROM, but this can be flashed.
THERE ARE NO HARDWARE DIFFERENCES!
Both devices are HTC Universal, branded by different companies..

On the outer side of the housing one says: i-mate,
the other one says: t-mobile.
;-)

oh, yes.. I forgot!
That's the most important difference! :lol:

don't forget the color difference 8)
O2 Exec = Black
MDA Pro = Light Silver
i-mate JasJar = Dark Silver

I see...
well then..
a huge gap indeed...
you just made me even more baffled
now that we cleared that one up.....
i gotto go find the cheapest.
any idea's? lowest so far = 1000$ Us.
10x !

Re: Jasjar your best bet in my opinion!!

woahhh! Hold up there, we're not done yet. :lol:
Biggest difference is in the support! Both are lousy in customer service relations, but i-mate do release ROM updates much more frequently than all of the others, and that in my opinion counts for alot! Whilst you can flash any of these devices with another devices ROM, you effectively invalidate any warranty for the said device, unless it's an i-mate product. As they frequently (in comparison to others ) release updates, you can take a chance on someone else's ROM (if or when they become available) or swith back to the i-mate ROM as and when you please.
Big + in my books!

I need to know which type of lcd screen is in HTC Herald.
I was looking for it but I found nothing

At the moment only HTC can fix that device. Check on website in support section, or try and find a number for the UK location where the international warranty is still valid.

I do not want to start a new thread because it seems like what I have to say is related to the thread. I have a total of two T-Mobile Wings and I got both phones at different times. I got my first Wing about 2 months ago and I just got my 2nd one about a week ago. I flashed both phones to Tran's 4.5 PointUI with similar settings. However, I realize in comparison that the week old Wing has a much dimmer backlight compared to my 2 month old Wing with the same exact backlight settings. I thought it might have been the battery so I swap the batteries and still my older Wing has a much brighter backlight. Is it a quality difference or is my Wing defective? I'll take a couple of snap shots if possible later. I just got my Wing about a week so I assume I can get an exchange in their 30-day policy by T-Mobile?

my Mda Vario2

Hello All,
I have just recieved my shiny new vario 2 today but confused. I thought it came with a 300mhz samsung processor. my device seems to have a SC32442-400MHZ processor???. have i recieved something different? I am worried i might brick my device if i try to flash with a vario 2 rom. Also if someone can reccomend a really good rom to upgrade to as the standard t-mob isnt that good.
thanks

IIRC only some pre production models were 300mhz. As mentioned above - the wiki (whilst not some amazing oracle) does cover most things.

Swop Universal for my Hermes?

How do all. just wondered if anyone would like to swop there universal for my Hermes? the hermes is in very good condition and is branded under the T-Mobile Vario II and is unlocked to any network. I really like this PPC but would just like a new toy really. The universal would have to be unlocked and in good condition. PM me if anyone is intrested and i will send you more info and pics etc.

i have ended up setting up a swop for my kaiser and 150 quid. am very happy

kaiser..
isnt the kaiser worth more than the uni?..

Are you in the US

The Kaiser is worth a lot more thats why hes also gave me 150 quid. i sent the phone today so i should be getting mine later in the week. i cant wait!

aah!, i mustve read it wrong lol.. wonderes when o2 will sell the xda star in uk.. =(.. they sell the kaiser tho..

That may change now that HTC has announced that they are planning to solve multimedia performance problems only in future devices and no fix is planned for the Kaiser...
I traded my TyTN II for an i-mate JASJAR, just a one-for-one swap with no cash in between. And I don't regret that for a second! I hated the TyTN II and was ready to use it as a skeet shooting target!
Then I traded the JASJAR for a JASJAM (Hermes) with a miminal amount of cash. This is something I am beginning to regret. Although the JASJAM is faster and has a slightly better camera, the lack of VGA display and bigger keyboard is starting to bug me!

so u basically swapped a kaiser for a hermes and a bit of cash, aint that like a big downgrade?...

No. What's the difference between the Hermes and the Kaiser? The Kaiser has a tilting keyboard and built-in GPS. What else do you get with the Kaiser? How about poor multimedia usability? Stuttering videos and touchscreen that needs a few extra taps to notice you. Not to mention the sluggish camera that's totally unusable indoors.

I just got the Universal today. i really do like it Ialso really did like the Kaiser mind. The only reason why i didnt use it as much was because it was locked to t-mobile and i now have a sim card for my mates work sim(free internet,free calls, free texts etc) Thats why i used the hermes and am really pleased i still got it. The hermes is by far the best pocket pc device out there. Its had more people cooking roms then the kaiser so we know how to play with it and get more out of it etc. its not bad sized(althought many people do take the mick out of me for having a brick as a phone. wait till they see the universal!) and also the hermes is just such a good alround brilliant phone. i am getting a artemis up and running soon mind so will have a good play with that and find out if i like WM devies without keyboards any good. will keep you posted!

What lower spec? If you take away the built-in GPS and the tilting keyboard, what else is still better on the Kaiser?
