Any1 have a Tilt for parts???

I broke the charger inlet/mini USB plug!
To make a long story short, i was trying to put the stylus in it.
I was hoping someone has a spare Tilt i could try to re-solder another one in place.
lmk! ty!

not the most fun solution, but there are chargers for the tilt battery standalone.
I ordered one from seidioonline.com.donotlinkmeautomaticallyxda but it was broken. Waiting 3 weeks for a replacement.

buying a spare battery and stand alone charger is a great idea! thanks!

replacement mini usb
for $15 you can get one from ebay.

I can't check the ebay link here, but I'd still consider both solutions. I can charge the battery in my phone, but I still bought a separate charger and battery. I'm going to be using the USB charger to charge from my car computer ;-)

you can have it all. the device is fully functional with no major problems or scratches. what´s your offer?

Why to destroy a fully funtional device for making another to looks better? I tought your device is broken or it have major problems ...I'm searching for a device with crashed display, motherboard broken or something like that.

the device actually ha a problem on the mainboard. it only works in 3g mode. if you switch to gsm you are unable to make or receive calls. this is the reason why we are discussing this subject. still interested?

Is your phone a TILT, or a TyTN II? If it is a TyTN II, I am very interested in it. Heck, if it is TILT (from AT&T), I would be interested still I guess.
What are you looking for, for it?

any1 having back cover?? mine broken

Donate My Crushed G1

Please be kind to me as this is my first post on XDA although I have been reading and utilizing these forums for quite some time. If this question has already been addressed, please let me know. I have already searched the forum and was unable to find anything on the subject but perhaps I wasn't as diligent as I could have been.
I left my G1 on the roof of my car and it fell off and was run over by a car. I already ordered a new one which will arrive in two days (I do nightly nandroid backups so all is well in that department). I would, however, like to donate the crushed G1 to one of the developers on this site so that they can salvage it for parts. Believe it or not, I was actually able to boot to the recovery screen and do a wipe (Alt-W). Obviously I could not see this as the screen is crushed but it rebooted after I hit Back+Home so I am pretty certain that there are some valuable working parts for someone who knows what they are doing.
I have taken advantage of the ROMs on this forum for awhile (Kavana's WinMo 6.1) as well as How-To posts (Apps2SD, Rooting G1, Nandroid, MAM, etc.) and countless other posts to keep my phone in perfect working order, and would like to give at least a little back to the hard working developers here. I would like a moderator to assist me in getting the phone into the hands of the right developer. I am sure it has some value to someone. I am pretty certain that the motherboard is in working condition as well as the keyboard and various other parts (it still vibrates on boot). I don't know much about hardware as I am largely a developer and a user. I don't want to take it apart only to find out that I have ruined what was once a good part. Ebay was an option but I figure that I will actually get more value out of donating it since XDA is literally my lifeline and smartphones would just plain suck without this site.
Please reference the attached photos. Sorry they are not so great. They were taken on my Dash because I was too lazy to take out my good camera.
Post replies here and we can go from there.
Thanks,
Aaron

Cool I'm sure someone will find this useful. You might want to save the battery so you have two

heres a solution

I believe you should donate it to one of the members working on finding the jtag pins so the people who were effected by the spl brick might have a second chance

Amazon sells them as well for about $7 + $3 for shipping.. OEM, safe..never had issues..

I am keeping the battery which still works. Now I have three! The battery door is crushed too. My goal is for the phone to better not just one person in need of parts but the community in general. If a developer can use this to help out the rest of us it will have been worth it. Like I have stated, I am not sure what use it will be but I am sure that someone out there can utilize it for the benefit of the rest of us.

Can you, or someone else, point me in the direction of one of these developers? This sounds like a worthy cause.

A battery from HTC directly (after they first tried to deny my warranty status) is 37, shipping included.
As for a crushed device, I should try to find one in that condition since emulator will not run on my laptop. More or less the process goes make a program or update, open my sd card, load it, try it, improve it on the computer, delete the sd card copy, move the new one... very agravating.
Not to mention if you plug the device into the computer right, you can load your device AS the emulator (but I don't really want to do that to my "daily driver")

I would like to suggest a moment of silence to honor your G1.

dust

Is there any way to remove the dust from the screen? I can't exchange mine because I'm rooted and the bl is unlocked so.... ya.

Take a look here...think there are some tips: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613115

well I already peaked at this thread and didn't really find a remedy for dust already being there so...idk if taking the phone apart is my only alternative. do you think compressed air will make a difference?

i got mine replaced and the bootloader was unlocked. dust is a manufacturing defect, not something an unlocked bootloader can cause. you should check out the thread that has already been made for this issue.

No fix for dust under the screen, aside from disassembling the phone, cleaning it out, and reassembling it. Some people have had luck getting HTC to replace the handset under warranty even with an unlocked bootloader... can't hurt to call them and try.

oh wow I never realized that. I'll give them a call tomorrow. if this works I'll lose my engraving right? I really don't wanna lose that because I like it so much

But really, do think it's really worth it for me (or anybody) to go with a replacement even if it's not even that much dust. I don't know the specific device has really grown on me and i don't know if a couple specs of dust are worth replacement. Also i could also be receiving a unit with a defective screen, dead pixel, bad camera sensor, ghost like screen, a purple hue screen, you name it idk

Well I got mine replace just this week. It took them only like a day to ship it to me, and all I had to do was ship mine back. Everything went smooth. My phone's bootloader was unlocked, and I bricked it by pulling the battery while it was updating the radio. I was $-530 in my bank acct for about 3 days lol, glad that's over with.

dock with spare battery port...

i saw this in the google videos that came out some months ago, but i have recently come into a spare battery and i want an easier way to charge it. anyone know if this dock has hit production or if a company has maybe taken it upon themselves to offer it? thank you.

This might not be the answer your looking for but i'll give it a shot anyway. There is this that charges your N1 and your spare battery.

Well its half of what google is charging for their dock (obviously). I have read a ton of reviews on both devices and you can't go wrong with either one. One pro is that it has a much bigger lip to hold your phone in. One con is that you can't hook it up to a speaker system like the google one can, at least thats what i've been told. I'm ordering the google dock later this week but if I was in your situation, i'd probably go with the one on ebay. I hope this helps.

ya man because i have two batteries. the google dock doesnt have a separate port for a spare battery right?
and im not looking to really connect this to a stereo i just need a method of charging two batteries at once.

Yeah the google dock only charges the battery in your phone. Judging by your second statement, the non-google charger is the way to go. Let us know how it works out for you, i've heard nothing but good things about it.

Is this phone worth saving, or trash it.

Oh and sorry to all the princesses on here who cant even wait for a person to sleep through the night before bring out the lynch mob and pitch forks.
Next time I will PM each one of you individually so you will get minute by minute updates of my life.
ANYWAY
Is this have any value for me to keep in parts.
It powers on but the LED screen does not come up, about all that seems usefull to me is the back and battery. Is there anything else worth saving?

No insurance on the phone? I was going to say get a replacement screen on ebay but I just checked the prices and my god its not worth it.

Would probably be worth keeping it. Parts prices will fall in the next few months and could replace the screen pretty cheaply if you hold on to it.

Why did you not ask this question in the other thread you started?

I'll buy it off of you. pm me

You could use the HDMI out and use it as a Linux PC.

I do have insurance, but at the time it was still on the road so I claimed it lost, it was still there when I came back home so I picked it up.

Fair enough. I did not notice it was locked. Good luck!

save it for a rainy day. spare battery or whatever isnt damaged. i dont see the need to start a thread to help make a decision about something that does not help anyone else on XDA.
If anything we now know, not to leave our expensive device on a car and drive away. Thank you for the insight.

you only post a broken galaxy s3 pic + "booo" word.
just boooo word.
it just like you somehow
make a statement that galaxy s3 is a bad and so fragile device.
which is not,
it got ran by a truck,
of course it's broke.
anyway..
just wait for the parts price down,
it's still rare and pricy for now.

I get that, but I posted late at night and got up the next morning to a lynch mob, its not like I abandoned the thread. I would have never thought anyone would intentionally damage such an expensive thread so it was rather pathetic to see that was the direction of the thread before I had a chance to respond.

I claimed it as lost, It fell off on a very busy road and I wasnt to keen on trying to stop traffic to get it. On the way home it had worked its way closer to the side of the road and traffic was a lot lighter so I decided to venture out (mainly just to see if my SD made it). I had already made the claim though as lost, since I didnt plan on trying to retrieve the phone.
