I have three faulty hermes devices that I thought some of the people here might like to pick up for cheap, to fix or use for parts etc. Follow the link for details, I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
may you sell just one?
I had a problem in one component, and have to change the motherboard
No, sorry, I do not want to break them into seperate auctions and I have already received bids from people who want to buy all three

Hi,
my XDA Exec has got a dead screen - took the phone apart and found that the LCD coaxial has snaped.
Now i'm looking for XDA Exec spares - coaxial cable.
Where can I get such spare parts? Should I ask it from the HTC?
Thanks!
Told you this via eBay but you obviously didn't believe me eh?...
"You won't get one of those as a spare part other than from a broken handset unless you send your device directly to an authorised service centre for repair.
If you have opened your hinge too far and trapped the wires cutting them, it is possible to work out how to reconnect the broken wires in the hinge as I have previously done it myself."

Thanks for helping out!
The cable is fully snaped (twisted), because the screen has been rotated too much - all the wires are cut!
Is it really posible to connect all those tiny wires? How?
thanks again!

I wrote an answer detailing step by step how to do it with wiring diagram then realised it was you who outbid me for it on ebay so you're on your own. Sorry. Why should I help my competition? :twisted:
Good Luck!

come on - this is ridiculous - I'm no competitor to you, I even don't make money with this.
I would never refuse to share my experience with people here, because we all have got something to share and we all sometimes need an advise!!
I'm not even form Uk... please give some advise if you can!
Thanks!

But you're buying MANY SPV / XDA faulty items from the UK site - if you're not making money then you're not very good at this eh?
You outbid me = you ARE my competitor.
You are buying faulty items and then asking for help to fix them to resell. No-one person could use all the devices you have bought recently, and you have to beg for help with basic repairs or fault finding for stuff that has not only been covered many times on this and other internet sites, but is also in some cases obvious.
I'll gladly help users with the odd problem or amateurs having a go at repairing friends / collegues devices etc etc but someone wanting my help with faulty devices they have bought has no chance.
I would rather help people who have problems with their existing devices. I do share my experiences, I have written many guides and how to's as well as answering questions, but when the question is from someone who is using my knowledge to profit in direct competition to me, hell yeah I'll keep it to myself.
You are not being honest. You say 'my XDA exec' when you received it in the post faulty 2 or 3 days ago at most.
My knowledge is from experience, I have experimented on many devices over the years breaking some of them in the process.
As for 'we all need advise' - feel free to check my posts here and on the other forums - I've NEVER asked for advice other than what colour phone to buy and even then I was joking....
What knowledge have you shared then? Today I wrote a stripdown manual for the new HTC StrTrk - it's on the internet
You are not the first with this problem, I have mentioned it several times, and if you would actually do a search rather than thinking you are so special and your issue so unique that your question demands a thread of it's own, you my find more info....
Richard
Good
Why such a hate!!!?
I'm not a liar - I have bought few phones and I'm looking only for cheap options such as buying faulty and trying to fix them - I now have sold all my phones - XV6600 can't be used in Europe, sold the old XDA 2i, bought a C500 as a present for my brother, still using the qtek 8020 and now just got the Exec...
you see - I'm not rich nor the people in my country - i can't afford to buy expensive phones in shops.
Ofcourse I'm a total beginer in this field and most of the time don't know what I'm doing, but still I have managed to find few solutions that nobody else had mentioned before - for example - you told me to get a new touchscreen for my XDA 2i due to screen align problem - but I found the old one to be good - i just made few experiments and I posted all the process in the forum...
And don't tell me you haven't asked for advice - look at your earlier posts year ago on modaco!!!
I don't know why are you so angry and full with hate - calling me competitor...
I was just considering to buy new housings for myself, for my brother and maybe in the future i would have bought some more parts from you if something would go wrong with my phones... but now - with such an attitude from you... I'm starting to reconsider it!!
Thanks for all the advices!!

Because you outbid me and have no idea how to repair the items you won so they are wasted on you.

They were never of the begging kind such as your questions like 'how do I do this' or 'can anyone please tell me' , they are always ' I have done this, here are pictures, how can I do it better?'
I explained my question thouroughly and then illustrated any answer I then came up with.

so what happens if i lose my wizard and i didnt have IIWPO on it. i have my IMEI. is there any way of tracking it down or not???
What is IIWPO?
Unless you set your owner information to show up on resume, setup some tracking service, or affixed your information to the housing of the device, no. There isn't a tracking system built into the HTC Wizard (or any phone to my knowledge).
Unless someone uses one of those previously mentioned methods to contact you your phone is lost. You could, of course, backtrace your steps to find it, but these are commonsense things you should be trying anyways.
Nothing anyone here can do to help you, cept maybe sell you another.
Not really, you need (AFAIK) operator level equipment to track a phone by IMEI. And frankly, given that the IMEI changer is available on this site for free, it probably won't have the same IMEI for long. Just report to your operator and buy a new one.
Sorry for the loss tho!

is there a thread used for buying and selling phones? i am looking into the Hermes now so i am in need of buying 1 of these 2 phones very soon. do i just post in the main phone topic areas because i dont see a for sale/wanted area...
thanks anyway
mine is for sale
hey I hope the admins don't get mad at me for posting this here but I cannot find a buy/sell section either.
Here is my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1065022&postcount=3
and my ebay listing:http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296...site=0&ver=LCA080805&item=200053332070&lk=URL
I have a question about an HTC Magic for sale on ebay.
Does this look genuine? The fact that it is coming from China has me a bit concerned as well as it seems to be selling cheaper than the others, but maybe you guys can tell me if you think its genuine or not?
The person said they are OEM phones. Sorry I can't include a link, but as a new user I am not allowed to just yet.
You have given pretty much zero information that somebody would need to help you. No link (you can't post hotlinks, but there are ways to obscure links), what the auction says, not even the sellers name.
Can't help you.
Hi all,
Living in The Netherlands, I can get a phone for free with a 2 years subscription (I suppose this applies to most countries). The DHD is not out yet, but the subscription prices are already being published (on vodafone netherlands anyway), and I find them quite expensive.
Being new at that sort of things, I wonder if someone could tell me if phone companies have special deals around Christmas, new year, etc., etc., etc.
Thank you for your answer.

Please accept my apologies. When I type my question, the site indicated that there were indeed threads that treated the subject and suggested earlier questions. I looked at these threads but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I will look carefully

Hey forum folks, I'm selling my HD2
]
Sadly, I dropped my HD2 and the screen went *smash!* although, it all still worked. Anyway, this blighted me so I tried to replace the screen with a brand new digitizer/screen replacement combo but I have failed. Despite very carefully taking it all apart and putting it all back together (as per the HTC guides on youtube) I've failed to do a good enough job and the screen now believes I am pressing it when I am not. Anyway, I believe this can be fixed but I don't have the know how or the funds to do it as I am going travelling in a fortnight.
I have therefore taken the v.diff decision to flog my phone so that someone can fix it or use it for spares. As far as I can tell everything is working except for the volume buttons. I think the problem with the volume buttons is that the orange sticker thing might have fallen off and I don't know where to get these replaced?
Anyway, the screen is BRAND NEW; as is the digitizer. The GPS module, battery and camera all work fine so it's an ace little phone that could be easily stripped for spares. I'm giving you guys the chance to get in on the bidding and if you've got any questions I'll answer them right here! So get bidding - oh and the auction opens at 0.99p!!!
I should also add that I don't think this contravenes the forum rules but if it does I beg and plead and grovel in a very humble manner - I only mention it because I know how important these rules are and I know how upset the moderators get with idiots and I am scared I may have stumbled into that category with this posting.
I think you're ok, just post this in the Marketplace next time, maybe a mod can move it for you.
Hi Guys and Gals,
Sorry to bother you all, but just wanted to say that I have been forced to relist my old HD2 after the last auction was won by a massive timewaster who didn't pay up and who wouldn't respond to questions as to the delay.
Anyway, I've relisted the device on e-bay, and you can find it at e-bay.co.uk and the item is ******. I hope that this time someone who actually wants it might win!
Cheers
We have a Marketplace for selling things. And we don't alllow ebay links, as per the forum RULES.
