Hi there,
Maybe someone can explain me, where is the hermes's slide indicator (or.. I don't the correct term, sorry for my bad English). My friend gave me his phone, after he was trying to change phone's cover to original htc tytn cover (of course, top part of the case did not fit on that hermes, but bottom case fit's ok). And after he assembled all parts - phone did not recognize when you are sliding the keyboard, and the screen is not turning to landscape position.
And now I want to fix it for myself, ant had tried to search where is that indicator, which 'sees' when you slide the phone. And when I disassembled - I just cant identify that thing. Only one place in my inexperienced eye is suspicious - http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/8708/dscf7321.jpg this place, in other side of LCD, where the hinges(?) is placed. But I can't understand, how its working (I have other HTC TYTN, but it's under warranty, so I cant dissasembly it to try use other parts, o smth..).
So, I would be grateful if someone could lead me to the right road' to fix this problem... if it's possible.
Thanks,
Laimis.
Yes your friend forgot to move the screen orientation magnet from the old case to the new one!! New cases do not have the magnet attached you have to move it from the old case.

.... so let's hope he didn't throw away the old case!!

Thank you, Mike!
you were right there is no magnet on the new case, so now I will wait until my friend will send me an old case.
God luck!
... good luck to you

Hi There,
Im in the process of changing the LCD screen on my jam, and during the removal of the housing, a little black thing fell out. I have no idea what it is and where it needs to go.
I have attached a photo of it hoping someone knows what it is and where it needs to go.
Thanks.
Does it look like something that broke off? Eg. With sharp egdes. If thats the case, chances that you won't be able to fix it back in.
Anyway, it looks too small to be an individual 'component'.
I thought it was normal to end up with more bits when you put something back together.... :$
No, Its a whole part, nothing broke while I was dismantling it. It looks like it's used with a switch or something. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it in the "Jam Housing" thread. I was really careful when opening the unit, and it fell out easily when I tipped the unit over.
Damn, looks like ill be ordering new housing too
I think it should go somewhere near the sliding volume control..
fixator
it looks like fixation of stilus inside the set in the place of stilus`s recess ,but my mda compact has it white color
Hello, that piece both covers holes that there are near the Sd card. I think that the function is that not between the dust in the machine, by the holes where the cord puts to hang. Moan my badly English, is a translation of google. Greetings
It covers these holes. Greetings
I also had the same problem when I opened my magician. From my experience, that part could be the hinge/lock that holds down the screen on one of it's side.
I could be wrong though.
Got it!!!!!!!

Dokoto, YOU GOT IT!!! Thanks heaps, now I can put it back together without worrying.
I'm surprised this isnt a common problem, it falls out so easily. Maybe once everything is back in place, something will hold it in.
Anyway, I've attached a pic to show everyone where it lives, incase someone else has the same problem.
Thanks again Dokoto!!
My screen has gone completely white.... I bought the phone online from an "authorized dealer" who won't reply to me now. I live in the US and O2 does not appear to have any US contact info... Am i screwed on this expensive phone i bought 6 months ago?
Anyone had experience with this?

I guess you already tried hard reset?.
Can you get to bootloader mode?.
Tried hard resets, and getting to bootloader mode, i think this is a malfunction with the actual device, I just need to find out how to get in touch with o2 support internationally, i was wondering if someone on here may have had this problem too.
Thanks.
white screen - connector loose?
I too have this problem - but if I twist the screen away from the keyboard I get the display back. I suspect there's a connector loose inside but haven't looked inside.
Anyone on the forum any experience of getting inside and reseating connectors?

Hello there,
I had to get inside my xda to replace the screen that one of my dear rug rats broke. it is quite easy to do, and you only need to get into the screen side of it to get at the conectors. spin the screen half way round and look at the bottom and you will see 6 small screws. take out the two furthest out and two in the middle nearest the screen side. if you take them all out the whole thing becomes hard to handle. the front cover should GENTLY leaver off, and the cables to it exposed. even if they look in place lift the catch holding them in place and take them out and wipe the contacts with a cloth. just be very carefull with the cable strips as they tear very easy. . any problems then PM me
TTFN

thanks for this posting - worked perfectly once i had worked out that atually you need to remove the screws further away from the screen in the middle. but otherwise I have successfully resurected a brick into a working universal! thanks!

Hello people... I'm a unlucky guy who bought a alignment trouble hermes... 200...
So... I've fixed the alignment problem, first, putting a little piece of card (the sim card rest), after oppening it, and putting some doubled-face ribbon, as shown in other thread here.
After it, I had to buy one new screen, because I've [email protected]$%$%$#@#ed the botton connection on the screen, whit the fu#$%#%@%#ing piece of card. . Its life. Some wins, some losts...
I'll try to fix the blank screen now, and I believe I'll have some success, but... Until now, I've done a lot of things, and my housing is completely broked.
Do you guys know what king of housing can I put in this hermes? I've found a lot of housings, but they seams to be diferents. My Hermes is like the one in the first page of this forum (this one). It could be a little idiot, but I'd like to find it black too.
They seams to be diferent of this one.
Can I use any? The d-pad seams to be diferent.
Thanks,
hey i dont know if you still need this info, but the differances ie. D-pad buttons ect all should be cosmetic should not matter at all you can make any Hermes housing work the only exception would be a housing/phone that is a at&t 8525 cingular/at&t left the vga cammera off so that housing would not have the hole for the camera on the front and that phone would not need the hole from another housing
Hi I have recently let my niki fall while the sliding sreen was opened. Since then I have noticed that the screen part of the phone move a little when the phone is closed. It's really unpleasant when you hold it closed in your hand because it's always moving and doesn't give you the initial sensation of rigidity...
I think I have bend the rail that the screen part usually follow and I wonder if there is an easy way to dismantle the two parts of the phone to rebend the rail properly.
We can see two cross-shaped screw behind the screen when the phone is opened I don't know what it holds so I'm asking for a handyman who have already dismantle his phone or had this kind of trouble and can tell me if the sliding rail is easily reachable and not too difficult to put the two part together again
(I have a bad experience in dismantleling electronic device and I know that it's often easy to dismantle but when you put it together again It's worth than before...)
Thank you for your help
why not send it to HTC assistance? the device is probably in its warranty and you don't need to worry about it
I have bought it on ebay, and althought it was said to be warranted, the warranty seal was tapped...
That's why I'm asking for your help :S
ow :s that's a problem :| sorry, I have no idea on how to help you
...
It's very easy to disassemble the NIKI the Display Part and the Other.
I will try to make a Video for u to do that, in the next Days.
thanks a lot do you think my sliding problem is solvable because if you think it's not I'm not going to dissasemble it for pleasure
super danke valvarian !!
would be great if you can make a video of how to dismantle a nike. just ordered new housing from cnn.cn.
thanks in advance !

Ok so I have two problems. Hopefully one of the geniuses here at xda might be able to help me
1st problem:
I was completely changing the harness / case for my herald and when everything was done all seemed fine, but... When I open my wing it does not rotate anymore, is there a switch or something that I forgot to align with the case once closing? Any help would be appreciated
2nd problem:
I'm using google maps through gprs(Data plan) and for some reason the gps finds me, but is like 200-2000 meters away from the location that I'm actually at. Is there a way to get it spot on? I know other phones have it dead on(For ex, my brother's iphone)
My phone: Herald 4351
Thank you!!!!!!!!
There is a little magnet that you must have forgotten to put into your new case. It's located on the bottom of the inside of the LCD compartment.
I did attach it, but what is the second piece that is supposed to slide by the magnet?
Hmm, i just recently replaced my wing with the black housing and all I did was put the magnet there and it worked, I don't know what else could be missing??
