I have heard somebody had found a place that you can order basically just about any HTC part, but after hours of searching I cant find anything. I think the post addressed where to get HTC replacement stylus, but the link provided in the post went to a website that offeres all kinds of differnet parts for the Wizard. Does anybody know of this post or where I might go for HTC parts?
Thanks!
I would like to know as well as I want to get an english only keyboard
i need this too!
i need a mainboard and battery cover.
oh and stylus. dont think the ones i got on ebay will be right. [don't have them yet.] stupid ebay.

I called HTC America and they are NOT willing to sell parts....I needed a replacement power switch for my 8125 (broke it putting it back together after replacing screen).
I saw a different thread here with some part numbers for Digi-Key and it turned out to be the switch that is used for the Camera/comm/voice buttons. (Digi-Key part #P12280SCT-ND--I have 4, let me know if you need one) In the end,I ended up buying one from Pocket PC Techs $15.00 for the power switch. After comparing it to what I have found on Digi-Key, I have narrowed it down to part #P10849SCT-ND. Now (hopefully) you won't have to pay Pocket PC for your switch like I did!!!
Riding home today, I had my loved Legend in my jacket pocket and the zipper failed, letting the phone come out and skip down the road at 70+mph. Luckily, my parents were following me on four wheels and noticed. By the time they got my attention and we made it back, we couldn't find the phone at all. Using my Mom's phone I jumped on mylookout and made it scream. After finding it, the results literally almost made me cry.
After only two weeks of owning the most perfect fitting phone I've ever had, I now have this:
(56k/mobile warning)

Any one have any ideas as to where I can get it repaired? I obviously get calling HTC but I wanted to see if there were any other recommended options available.
I don't want to be pessimistic but I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of a new screen+chassis+labor is more than the cost of a replacement.
I had a very similar problem with my Legend. HTC will repair it for 270 euros..

As of today, that'd be 341.22 USD. Purchase price was more around 500 through myworldphone so l have some figuring out to do. Guess it's time to start posting some stuff up on craigslist.. I *MUST* have this phone back, new or repaired.
I will say about the quality of the phone that it still operates just fine as the music unpaused when I hit the optical and I've been hearing notification/alarm sounds, if I could only find a way to control it through PC. I've tried screencast but can't get the phone to be recognized through USB (I'm assuming doubletwist is autoenabling the USB drive mode, not allowing the phone to switch to "sync" and I sure as hell can't do it)
Any ideas there?
I find it quite amusing that the phone is still in one piece. It is truly a sturdy build, 99% of all phones on the market would probably be separated into a zillion small, small pieces after taking that kind of hit.
Still i shame though. The picture made me shiver at first glance.
OMG...i feel freakin sorry for you dude will try and help you...google...here i go!
ok, i could find you the digitizer...

or here...
http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Screen-Gl...ccessories&hash=item3a5b46a6e6#ht_1977wt_1168
will try to find the chassis and the buttons.
I feel sorry too man, I love the phone because its one of the best build phones I cant get a scratch on the screen!

I ended up ordering another off of Amazon after taking mine apart to analyze the damage. Previous posters were correct, it would cost just as must to order a new so friend took care of me and got me another.
Interesting part is that (I'm assuming this) the first phone (also from Amazon) seemed to be from Europe, as the default language was UK English or whatever. It also came with a black A/C adapter plug.
The second phone came in with "CN Thai" as the default language, ultimately causing me to just give up changing it and root the phone. Anyway, that phone came with a *white* A/C adapter, no english defaults, Java and one other app starting with a P that was *not* on the first phone.
I wonder just how many out-of-the-box ROMs there are for "unbranded" phones...
Check your ROM version,and post it here.that is an asian version for sure...
Just root your phone and flash the wwe rooted rom.

I saw that there are forums added for some WP7 devices. I was wondering why there's no forum created for the HTC Trophy 7. (I get one this thursday and I really need some roms etc .. no, the official reason for asking is, I believe the Trophy 7 is one of the only devices HTC is going to launch in Europe, so I think a forum would be very appreciated.
I was about to ask about this.
I get mine Trophy 7 deliverd tomorrow, but it's vodafone branded.
It should work with my KPN sim, at least thats what the shop said, but I want to get rid of the vodafone branding in the software.
There also wont be any logo's on the phone itself, just the software.
I'm sure i can flash an official HTC rom on it.... but i'll need some help.
I do have some experience with flashing. been flashing my Touch Pro since the first month i got it (been 2 years already )
so please make an Trophy 7 related section for us guys from Holland
HTC 7 Trophy
Hello all togeteher,
I was going to ask exactly the same question. I think there are already a few people who would like to see a Forum which can be used for discussions etc. about the HTC 7 Trophy.
I too would also like to see this trophy section created. This and the HD7 (I believe) are the only wp7 devices available from htc that are unlocked so these should get the most attention imho.
Trophy forum coming soon! Today we added a couple more WP7 forums.
today i was the proud receiver of a HTC Trophy
Been playin with it for a couple of hours now, but it incredibly smooth.
I'm happy with it

Did you receive the Vodafone's branding device? Is there any logo on the device? How about the software? Is it about a vodafone theme that you can change or something permanent?
thanks in advance for the answer

your making me super excited!!!! i get mine on monday!!! monday morning, few hours from now. feel like a little kid before Christmas, havent had this feeling for a long time.
hopefully htc and MS fixed this whole xbox xtras app that crashes on htc phone tommorrow. wanna shake my phone and make my avatar fall down....ooooh its raining hailstones!!
sorry for the late reply..
it's indeed the vodafone branded one.
The guy from the shop called me about it. and i asked the guy if there was any branding on the phone itself and he confirmed that there is no branding on the phone.
So when i received it, i was quite anxious about it, but there is only a bootscreen with the vodafone logo, a tile with vodafone (wich i deleted right away) a vodafone app (also deleted) and the manual setup of my APN settings (just had to fill in portalmmm.nl for my Hi account ) and thats it.
Ow and the tiles where red, but adjustable to your prefered setting (mine is blue right now)
@levi3man: xbox live and avatar are working fine, but i replaces my regular live account with an WP7 exclusive one because my contacts from my regular acount is a mess, and there are some people in there my girlfriend wouldn't be to happy about .
So i made an new account with no avatar at the moment.
g'day there.
just wondering if you can tell me if you can swap out the microsd card in the Trophy? this has been rumoured on a few sites.
cheers,
milka
I got mine from vodafone NZ and it has absolutely no branding at all, not even the common vodafone start up screen. Perhaps they didn't have enough time to flash it given NZ was the first place in the world to release a wp7 device?
Hey guys just wondering if someone could let use know what the screen is like under direct sunlight? Although it is not that important I would still like to know what I am getting myself into.
I currently have a desire and it's quite poor in direct sunlight - just for reference.

It's usable under direct sunlight, a lot better than my nexus ones amoled display. Perhaps comparable to my old 3gs and maybe a bit less than samsung's super amoled displays.
The SD-card is not in a separate slot below the battery or something so you can't remove it.
I haven't had any issues under sun-light, it's readable and clear enough.
the only thing that bugs me now is that the notes app does't work after the HTC update... Not that i'm using it but still
still playing with the phone, and as i go along, i'm discovering new features.
With windows phone 7 attached to your winlows live profile, you can do some neat things, at least i think their neat
You can map your phone, and it shows on a map the location of the phone, and in my case it was spot on.
You can ring your phone, wich lets your phone ring, so you can find it if you lost it in your room.
You can lock your phone, where the app asks for an 4 digit code to unlock the phone, and an optional message. With this app you can lock your phone from a distance and on wake (power button press) the phone shows an message that the phone is locked or your optional message. and after an reboot the phone still stays in locked state. The only way to unlock it is to enter the 4 digit code. It's still possible to make emergency calls with it.
And the final thing you can do is erase your phone, revert it to factory settings i guess, because i didn't test this part

It doesn't feel plastic at all. The glossy finish gives it a sort of "industrial design" look. Also, the coating on the back gives it a very sturdy grip.
All in all I like the minimalistic design of this phone. It's one of the best designs I've ever seen from HTC. But of course that's a matter of taste.
No scratching of the lens/flash. The lens/flash/speaker compartment is a bit raised, so when it is laying on the table it doesn't lay completely flat. The angle is just enough to prevent scratching.
bootup logo
I've got my Trophy with a boot up logo from Vodafone. Is there any way to get rid of that bootup screen?
Thanx in advance
well i was in a law suite with HTC for the issues i was having with my HTC Desire issues so i received a new desire hd for all the issues i went through even though HTC took a year to settle lol
so do you guys like your Desire HD
Congrats on getting the HD. Your going to love it. Im delighted with my one.
I got mine on 2 days back. I am loving it with Gingerbread sense.
Sent from my Desire HD
congratz.. now go to DHD dev and flash the gingerbread rom on it..
+1, then you never look back on your desire anymore
lol that statement is so true i cant put this phone down, lol as well i have not touched my iphone in days my buddy has a iphone 4 as well and he was blown away by the htc Desire HD i know the GPU is not all that but what i use it for it is amazing he just fell in love now he wants one
I must be the only person who doesn't love this phone, its not that I dont like it, its just that there seems to be a lot of issues.
I got mine on Saturday, it was a Vodafone UK upgrade, and coming to this from the orginal Desire has been a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
The one thing I noticed as soonas I took it out of the box was the seemingly sharp edges around the screen area, the phone itself is sluggish and the screen can be very non-responsive, I cant for the love of all thats almighty get the HTCSense to work - in fact cant even create an account, cant download Locations, the GPS wont work because it says it cant find the satellites even when I'm outside, and the list just goes on.
I loved my original Desire and chose it over the iPhone 4 and thought this would be the next step up buy boy was I wrong. Chances are Ive just got a bad one, but its hasnt half dented my confidence in what I originally thought was a great brand.
As I said, I had the phone as an Vodafone upgrade through Phones4U in the UK. Are they likely to give me a new phone or will they make me have this one repaired? To be honest, I dont want it repaired I just want a new one.
Suggestions please
It sounds like you got a bad one. You could try a factory reset and see if that speeds it back up to normal. If not I would suggest they change it for you. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing the normal (non-sluggish) speed. If your one doesn't match - ask them why it is so slow.
My 2 cents.
I would suggest the same as Grant Barker, sounds like you've got some kind of issuse!
Factory reset is always an good idea! ;-)

IANAL but distance selling reg's should cover this, you are entitled to reject the phone within seven days, personally I would speak with Phones4U as i have found them very helpfull in the past if no joy there try speaking to vodafone aswell.
But it does sound like you've recieved a lemon, even if I did find SENSE slowed the phone down over vanilla android.
1st thing I tried was a factory reset and to be honest, I think its made a blind bit of difference.
Thanks for the heads up people, I'll let you know how this progresses.
you will have to contact the company and explain to them u have a DOA

HI hi hi
I'm just on to leav HTC at all.
I've order DHD from ....dialaphone.com(phone4u)
Second day I just ask to cancel my order for poor quality of finish AL-housing and plastic sim cover was just realy beadly made!!!
After canceling it I've order HD7 from dialaphone.com(phone4u)
Same sh.t realy same sh.t.
Baterry cover, plastic frame with scratches and in the middle of screen big looks like somone try to pull it off.You can see parts inside!!!
Was canceled !!!
No HTC in near future! Nono!
Is this fault of HTC TW? or Phone4u UK is selling some sort of 2nd quality ****?
Welcome from the owners of SHD.
Sense is really nice, I think.
With other Nosense Rom's i took less pleasure to use my phone.
In addition, drivers included in HTC sense, allow the phone to be much less energy.
Otherwise, you must hack the kernel.

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!

I was actually thinking of buying a combo, lcd&touchscreen, as Im not 100% sure that my touchscreen still works as it should.

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.
