First sorry for my bad english,ill try to keep it good.
So , i have bought today an second-hand HTC Charmer (Tmob mda compact II) which has a broken touch or forescreen , i dont know how to call it, im a bit newbie to PDAs.I can control it from my pc with SOTI Pocket Controller via activesync but its a bit useless with touch ability . And here comes my idea! I know that Compact I and COmpactII is different in hw but! i have an fully working MDA Compact I too , and that has no problems! is it possible, to disassemble the Compact I and put his screen (or just his touch thing(soz as i know(and as here is also visible)that not the screen is recognizing the touch,but a paper like thing on the screen))into my charmer? If yes, than i would take help ^^ thanx for your help! !Screens about the charmer attached(packed into zip)!
I hope i was understandable!
Almost a week and no answer
why dont you try it. they are very easy to open. if i remember wright me old mda1 had same screen connector
The screens are the same so it will work if you change them over, you also need to change the button part as well,for some strange reason the mda 11 one dont work with the mda 1 screen,hope this helps.

So my wizard has been acting up (see the annoying white screen post ) i was wondering first of all if i am allowed to send in my MDA to get it replaced with a Wing for free, since they no longer make MDAs and my MDA is not working properly. Second is the Wing better than the MDA, because i heard that it only has 1 speaker, and no IR (i dont really use IR but its nice to have it). So i was wondering if the speaker is really different than the MDAs or are they both about the same in loudness and quality level.?
BTW: I live in the US so it would be T-Mobile US.

Nobody, except Tmobile can answer your question about getting the Wing as a free replacement for MDA
For MDA vs Wing, I can share my experience with you. I recently got the Wing to play around with and still have my MDA. There are some areas of improvements on the Wing but there are also some downside. But IMHO the improvement is out weight the cons. Missing IR is a disadvantage, but most pp don't use the IR connection nowaday, Bluetooth is over taking the IR.
For speakers, hard to tell with one is better. I think the MDA is a little louder, but the Wing seems to have the clearer sound. Hard to say which is better.
I called T-Mobile about getting a Wing and what would happen if I had an issue with my mda and needed a replacement and T-Mobile still has MDAs to send out to people that need replacements. So I`d doubt they`ll send you a wing instead.
I don't have any proof of this but I have heard that T-mobile is sending wings out to people who have a defective MDA. You'd have to call T-mobile to be sure, of course. There is probably a finite supply of MDA's left in their inventory as it is, so eventually you will probably only be able to get a wing as a replacement. When that will be, I have no idea...
My husband has the wing and I have the mda. I like having the IR because there is a program that will let you use your device as a universal remote. Comes in very handy when you're in a place where you'd like to change the TV channel but don't have the remote (hospital rooms, hotels, etc).
I haven't really listened closely to my husband's wing but the speaker quality seems to be decent. When his phone rings I can't tell whether it is mine or his. I've been flashing my rom a lot lately so there hasnt been any use in changing the ringer all the time.
One thing I am jealous about with hubby's Wing is that the screen pops out from the keyboard instead of sliding the way the MDA does. So you don't get the problem of the screen hanging halfway off of the keyboard if you don't close it all the way.
Also the stylus doesn't just fall out of the Wing like it does with the MDA.
If you get a Wing you will not be able to use your Mini SD card since the Wing uses Micro SD.
The Wing's Comm Manager button is on the keyboard instead of the side of the case. Unless there's a trick we haven't noticed yet, you can't just hold down a button on the side of the case to switch between speaker and vibrate. You actually have to do something on-screen or pop out the keyboard.
WM6 on the MDA works great for me (using X-plore), and it is faster than the old WM5. With that in mind, I'm not noticing a huge increase in speed or performance with the Wing. I haven't really looked much into it but hubby tells me the two devices use the same cpu.
The Wing has the 2 MP camera whereas the MDA has 1 MP. Image quality is about the same except of course the Wing can store larger images. If you want, pm me and I can take 2 pictures of the same object using the Wing and the MDA and let you compare them... I don't know how important that is to you.
The Wing is somewhat lighter than the MDA, but hubby and I both find this weight difference to be barely noticeable. Wing is slightly thinner. Again, its a minimal difference.
The Wing is, as far as I know, the Herald, so you might also want to check the herald forums to see what people think and feel about theirs.
Personally, I'm satisfied with my MDA and I wouldn't want to trade it in unless it was suffering from a major disfunction.
Wow, thanks that was a lot of info. Ill talk to T-mobile about replacing my MDA because it is defective, my screen keeps turning completely white for no reason and to remove the whiteness i have to slide out the keyboard just so the first row of keys show. But anyway thanks for the information, it has saved me a ton of time looking for reviews and comparisons.
Can Aim be any slower!
hey Im a happy MDA user but I have never been happy with the extreme slowness of the aim. Thats the only problem i have with my MDA, the msn messenger goes really quick i dont understand why the aim is soo slow.Is there any way i can make it faster!? ive tried numerous things since september of 06 lol. and does anybody know if the aim on the wing goes quicker? because Ive been eyeing the wing. help !
my opinion
so I got my wing yesterday, first impression it feels nice since I had WM6 on my MDA there was not much to explore the first thing I checked was MEMORY and that did not look pretty here is what I had:
Storage Programs
total:39.44 Total: 43.87
in use: 13.87 in use: 28 something
Free: 25 MB or so Free: 15 something
compared to what I have on my MDA with the awsome wm6 X-plore 2.0n and after installing over 10 apps and all kinds of tweaks this wing is a real WIMP on memory, so I decided to do a hard reset and did soft reset before the Tmobile customization started I wanted to get rid of all T-mobile crap but that did not work it did get rid of some apps and I ganed about 7MB of storage memory but did not help the program memory I gues some of the T-Movbile stuff is part of the Rom and that sucks. when I did the first soft reset I kept looking for the hole on th right side of the phone but it was on the left, since I am right handed that to me is an inconvenience, the siding action on the keyboard is nice, typing on it is not bad at all, what I did not like about it is that it's slides open the opposite way the MDA does again I think that is another inconvenience for a right handed person since most people use their thumb to push the keyboard open, I thought to myself maybe they had a right handed and left handed version...lol.. beacause this is annoying for a right handed person, then again maybe its just me. I like the new "ok" and "windows" buttons the front keys are nice and easy to use I am not sure I like the side buttons lay out I liked them better on the MDA. Before I got this wing thing I wondered how the sound would be with one speaker well, I found out the sound on the MDA is louder when playing mp3 files and when the phone rings quality wise it's close but overall I like the MDA stereo speakers better, the camera on the wing is better quality of course it should be since it's 2.0 MP vs the 1.3 mp on the MDA.
Overall it's an ok device I think I have to give it a couple of weeks see how me and IT get along, but my number one wish is TO FLASH IT and get all that wasted memory back, and that will happen I just dont wanna falsh now because there is no ship rom to go back to in case I brick it.
anyway that was my opinion so far and I will post more as time goes.

Hi I I have a small problem with my Vario II with Ebay I have bought at an auction has exchanged with the Seller because he meant the touchscreen is broken, well, besides, I imagined nothing one can still use it, However, now I wanted this gets put back this everything goes though, however, as Windows me asks the touchscreen to aim I can make nothing the touchscreen is broken is there any alternative?
MY einglisch is not so good
YES but ive found a new Touchscreen,but it takes time after the paket will be here i want also se the MDA
Mike, I think Dracon775 means "use"...
You need to find a program called Remote Screen Alignment (you can find it if you google it - its freeware). It can fix this BUT you will also need a friend who has the same phone to get the alignment settings as this program stores them on he pc.
It was intended for people who can't, for medical reasons, hit the 5 alignment points so they can have these great devices also.
Cheers...

Noboby´s home?
it doesnt protect any vital chip, i would have seen that as i have totally dismantled mine before.
i think it was something to do with voulme slider but its been over a year since i took my prophet apart lol so i cant remember.
if it works and nothings different then is it a problem? its always a bummer when you have a "screw or bolt" left over isnt it
Hi.thank you for your response.In reality,is all working so i dont go on dismantling the phone to put the pieçe in plaçe sinçe this isnt as easy to deasemble as a nokia.Deasembling this phone is a tricky job and i may end with a broken phone.
wish you well to you all.
Hello guys,
At first, sorry for my average english
So, there is my problem:
I've got a HTC TyTN / MDA Vario II / HTC Hermes 300, and my touch screen digitaliser (or simply "touch screen foil") is broken, so I want to replace it. I've got a service manual, and all the tools, but I don't know if it's possible to replace this part from HTC TyTN II / MDA Vario 3 to my MDA Vario II.
Why I am asking this? Because it's impossible to find on shops on internet the right touch screen foil / digitaliser for HTC Hermes 300 / MDA Vario II.
I hope you can help me.
Very thanks, Pavol
solved
problem solved by buing a new htc original branded touch screen digitaliser.

Did you replace the touch screen only without the LCD?!! You were very brave - I'd normally recommend getting the digitizer/LCD combined.
Pleased you got it fixed
Mike
yes, I did it, but the problem was:
My MDA Vario 2 uses a touch foil (cca 0.5mm thick), and I use a "touch panel" or how to say it, so the thickness growth +1,5mm, so it was hard to put it on without risk of any damage, because it was impossible for me to find and buy the touch foil. But it fully works, altought it takes me about one day to dismount it, to remove the parts of broken old foil (I used a knife to do it, because it was a strong "glue?" on it so it was a problem to remove), then mounting the new one and difficulties with "finding the right contact" in the motherboard... but it's done and functionable
