Hello,
I am looking to purchase a glass top for my HTC Himalaya (XDAII). Does anyone know where I can get it from?
Thanks you.
abohsali,
Do you mean a new touch-screen?
Codenix.
Hello,
No, only the glass top on top of the digitizer. the digitizer is intact.
Thanks
hhmmmm maybe i'm way off but as i understand it then
the xda is lcd and then a plastic layer which is the touch-screen
mine sure dont have glass over the touch-screen of cause i have a xda1
All pdas have an LCD touch screen but there is a glass top of the LCD. When you use the stylus and tap on the screen it is on the glass top that you are tapping.
the touch part is not a part of the lcd screen itself
it's a semi soft layer on top of the lcd and can be changed without
changing the lcd
there is no glass on top of it and this is why people spend coins on
screenprotecters to put on top of the touchscreen
i have a link to a online store which sell both lcd's and touchscreens for xda1 but i dont think they work on xda2's
i`m also looking for a digitizer for an xdaII. not found once yet, xda digitixers are for sale for about $60, which is a bargain in my opinion, but when you look at the xdaII there is only one ribbon cable for the screen which incorporates the lcd and digitizer so a repair appears to be very tricky. I`ll keep looking though
Hello-I need help finding a place that in the USA can repair my xdaII. I just dropped it on my marble floor -- OOPS! I thought you may have heard of a place for me to send it?? I believe I've broken the lcd & glass...it functions fine but has major cracks/shatter marks thoughout the screen...Let me know if you can help & thank you
Hi, I have managed to brake the Touch Screen (not the LCD Display, but the Toch Pad Layer) of my XDA 2. I am looking replacement parts. If any one can advise me on cost and located preferably in UK (for sending off for repair).
I have found these sites:
http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphonexdaii.htm
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...rs-Full+Service+Repairs~action~updateunit.htm
they are selling Touchscreen Replacement for US$125 (by Post)
Thanks..

looks like your digitizer is broken.
however in the link that Dharkaron had posted (http://www.cellulardr.com/products.php?cat=513), there is replacement screen for around $180, it should contain digitizer in it, but i would check before purchase.
if thats a digitizer only, it should not spread, but you are in risk of damaging your lcd display. (not really relevant if you cant get digitizer by itself though)
Sorry but it looks more like your protection sheet is broken try to take that of maybe it will help ;-)
screen protector u mean? no its not tht I checked tht already how can the protector break its not solid ...so digitizer for $180 that expensive I rather wait for some time and get a new one
well, its the whole screen for 180, but it does not say that it does come with digitizer, so it actually maybe wiyhout one, that is why i would check, digitizer for my old sony was around 100 and it was only digitizer, without lcd, so i would wait and see if you can find digitizer by itself (as long as it is actually separate part and not integrated somehow with lcd...) good luck on your hunt.
@WvaanWaas
screeen protector, as like piece of elastic transparent film broken that way? very unlikely my friend.

There is no way to tell how long it will work. Could work for a day, could work for a year. Chances of further cracks? There is always a chance a crack will get bigger as it's subjected to day to day use. Also, please don't bump your own post, especially after less than a day of waiting. We have lives and don't sit here just to answer people's questions.
This link is just the digitizer, like i said prices seem high to me.

Just saw this, might be all you need if the touchscreen still works on your phone.

ok i am confused..the broken screen of my g1 is it digitizer or the faceplate? my touch screen is perfect like before even on the cracked part it works like it used to do...i cant feel the crack probably because of the screen protector..if thts the faceplate then its gud

it is digitizer also known as touch screen, faceplate thats whats around (black frame) digitizer/touchscreen is not there, and that is what failed in yours. digitizer/touch screen.
this will not fix the problem: http://www.cellulardr.com/G1FaceplateBlk.htm
this will work: http://www.cellulardr.com/G1FaceplateDigitizerBlk.htm
I think I will continue to use it and wait for some time till I can find cheap digitizer

It's pretty clear according to the description on Cellulardr that the LCD and the Touch screen digitizer are separate products. The digitizer is about 190$.

The glass of the digitizer is broken my friend. Your screen protector should be intact. The LCD should most likely be intact but there no way of telling it 100% by looking at those pictures even though they were good. It doesn't look that bad but it will most likely get worse. Just use gently contact and do not press the screen. You may notice that the digitizer may not respond exactly like before but pretty good. Now there's a bigger risk your LCD will get broke as well if it is subject to heavy pressure.

No the faceplate is just the plastic frame around/above the digitizer. You need the digitizer. Unfortunately CellularDR doesn't sell the digitizer itself but instead they have package of the faceplate+digitizer. That part including many others are out of stock looking at their site.
r4yd3n -> I don't know where you live but if you live in the US or Canada you should be able to order repair parts however if I were you I would send it in. Remember, Cellulardr have strict rules of not shipping outside USA and Canada (Confirmed in email) except probably if you're an american/canadian working overseas.
well the touch screen is still working like before I am surprised ...no effect of broken digitizer on the touch screen
meh
I broke my screen christmas eve
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/members/dzknockout/albums/mine/1605-phone.jpg
(Still fully funtional)
I say leave it till its necessary to get a new one. And rather than buy replacement parts for an arm and a leg, you can send it back to t-mobile for like $110 (provided you have insurance. But honestly, a broken screen isn't that big a deal if it's fully funtional. And my screen is way more f*cked up than yours
ohh yea urz is way too much cracked then my screen ...ok so I will continue to use it and wait for something better.
Good News Google G1 Digitizer Only Now available
Good news guys I just noticed that www.cellulardr.com now sells the Tmobile Google G1 Window Lens with Digitizer only at a lower price: http://www.cellulardr.com/G1Digitizer.htm
They don't have a picture yet so just to be sure I called them and confirmed that this is the correct part. Basically this is the Window Lens Glass with the Touch Screen Digitizer and has the Flex Cable attached to it. It does not include the LCD but I understand that most people that have broken their phone, have only damaged this part.
Hope this helps you guys.
P.S. They told me that they have a limited quantity in stock so if you really need it, jump on it.
Hi, does anyone have dust under touch screen and LCD close to volume up button. When you look on the sun or strong light.
Theres gap between LCD and top glass and bad sealing around. Have never had any spec of dust in TD1.
Hope its not gonna cover whole display soon... ((
Sent it to the service center, they gonna exchange display with top touch screen. Thats HTC display defect...
They just blowed away the dust between LCD and Touch screen (not perfectly), I think that glued LCD with touch surface is much more better, this is not very good solution on TD2. Im disappoited with HTC Company.
WELL, MAYBE IM TOO PERFECTIONIST...
After several disassembly of my TD2 (testing) found the place where the dust comes in... Will describe it with pics later on...
Nope. Just a spec of dust that got under my screen protector
I've got a spec of dust close to the speaker side of the screen
oh, 2bad :/
this is indeed frustrating.
i'm on the lucky side...for now.

Yes I have exactly that. Very annoying!!! I too hope it doesn't get any worse.
I have also noticed dust between the two layers of the touchscreen in bright sun light. IMO it's a severe design flaw!
I had dust under the screen yesterday and today. Right now it seems to have migrated away.
The Diamond 1's LCD disply and Digitizer were pressed and seald together as one unit I beleive. The D2 isn't and has a Gap between the glass and LCD. I much prefer the LCD up against the glass with no gap. looks sharper, brighter, and better.
I think they skimped out a little on the D2 quality to keep cost down and also economize a little. Look at the packaging. I really don't mind it because the quality is still good and HTC probably saved some bucks and will thrive and give us even better phones when the economy strengthens.

you're right.
I got a diamond last year.everything were perfect.
in 6 days ago, I got a Diamond2
the box..........so cheap..
well , that doesn't a matter.
BUT, when I check ....
1.the backplate is very shining ...............
What,.... when they were painting, they DID NOT check the dust on the
backplate.......
so , I change a new phone
2.the ups said that Diamond1 the display and that screen we touch or tap is a
same unit is really correct. In Taiwan, if your panel got any problems, you have to change the whole part.
at the final, to me , that isn't a problem ..
Because, the new Diamon2 I got , got a same problem
(dust in screen, and now , I can not find it lol.
but I have to say,
In taiwan , we really hope, HTC have got better and better..
with a bset quality.
hey diecorroder
so is TD2 good??
i dont know what to buy.... the HTC thouch HD or the TD2....

HA HA, in Taiwan that is a really really old conversation.
at the final, the point is
1.do you really need a 3.5 phonejack?
2.do you care about the size of you phone?
3.and the performance, it's same. Just like custom rom from Diamond2 can work on HD, so .. perfermance is not the point when you have to choose from the two phone.
to me, the HTC earphone I have is a really old model, but it got a gool quality,so I don't need a 3.5, and it's too big to put into my pocket
so I choose DIAMOND2
by the way , original rom in Diamond2 is really good..
(it is not my first HTC pda phone, I have got CHT9000,9100,9110,Elfin,Diamond..., but truely, it's first time I did not so hurry to find a custom Rom)
hey
well TD2 is new here in europe hehe..
3.5mm jack is stupid.read this.
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6885
The htc touch HD is 3.8 inch and TD2 is 3.2 inch its not that much of a difrance.
and the touch screen is better on the TD2.
so i will go for the TD2
one more thing, it says that TD2 supports WMV, ASF, MP4, 3GP, 3G2, M4V, AVI formats. Dose that means that i dont need coreplayer??
I have experienced the same problem of dust accumulating beneath the screen in the top left corner.....only had the device a week!.
I sent it back for exchange and have now received another new device. Ive noticed the screen on the new device flexes a little when you press it.
I guess time will tell, whether this will be as bad!
me too
My TD2 isn't even one week old and I have the exact same problem in the same position!
...really pisses me off. how can something like this happen to such an experienced class leading company?
this is just cheap!
Dust under the display

i think i will wait for diamond 3

I think if HTC members that there are problems with the dust, they (hopefully) will search for a solution
This is not a good advert for HTC

if the TD2 display really glass ? I thought it was plastic

It's beleive it is glass. I don't know exactly. Some people on here have complained that it is cheap flexible plastic but it is not the same as the Elfin. That was plastic for sure and I ave already replaced the digitizer on the Elfin.
We all know that there are 2 layers to the screen and I beleive it is what makes it more sensitive and accurate than other resistive screens. (among other things)
My Tought
There is a plastic membrane, if you take the stylus and look across the plane of the screen while pressing it you will see it flex. This flex is limited though due to there being glass. Tap and poke at it and you can hear/feel it. This is also proven by the fact that you can press with fairly great pressure and never come in contact with the LCD. You never get and color mixtures or whatever that's called. So the digitizer is 2 layers. A plastic to highten risitiveness of the screen and glass to protect the lcd and limit the memrane travel.
Pleas note that this is just what I have observed and noticed about the device and beleive it to be correct. Do not take it as 100% truth but please do observe the flexing and how you can press fairly hard without even touching the actual LCD.
Touch Freak, I belive you are right, makes total sense...
No other with the dust problem???
I want to migrate from TP to TD2... but if the dust problem persist I probably desist...
later
Tyrone
I don't have any dust problem with my TD2...
I think we'll need to start some poll thread...
Hi. Anybody here have disassembled their HTC HD?
I need to change my 'Housing' of the HD as it is badly damaged. specially the frame around the touch screen. But the touch screen is in pristine condition.
So i want to only replace the Frame of the HD.
i found a frame on ebay at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=310141968580
But i cannot find instructions how to remove the touch screen and LCD from the unit. the Service Manual doesn't show how to.
Anybody here knows how to? at least whether its possible??
Package content:
1x Housing Cover ( Same as photo)
1x T5 Screw
1x T10 (+) screw
1x Plastic Opening Tool
What do you think those are for?

I don't thinnk you will manage to get the lcd and digitizer seperated from the bezel without destroying it. See my thread about this:

thanks for the reply. that looks scary isn't it..
i wonder why these people sell the frame and the lcd screens and digitizer separate. pointless eh?
What 'badly damaged' means? cracked? scratched??
If only paint chipping and scratches then painting carefully (after applying protective tape over the entire screen) is a more feasible & less dangerous option.
