Need a Screen Replacement

Yes, I got the dreaded cracked screen after I dropped my device. Can someone tell me where I can buy another screen or a replacement one. I have been on EBay and that did not have any luck.

screen
if its any of the xda's 1,2 or S, u can buy it from www.pdasmart.com . Efficent service and the cheapest ones as well.. but mate if its executive or jasjar..then u r screwed..cause i broke mine few days back..n i got a replacement from imate at a cost of $180.

Screen replacement
It is a JasJar... You said you got a replacement screen from IMate? who did you contact? do you still have the link or contact information?

ok today was a great day I found a place in US that will fix JasJars broken/cracked lLCD Screens. $250 = new screen and they install it.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com
At top of home page you have a option to select your device
of course this works for all versions of the HTC Universal which JasJar is one of.

250 sounds a lot. how much is a new jasjar over there?

I am not sure how much they are selling for, I am not even sure any of the couriers (Cigualar, Tmobile, Sprint) even have them on their radar to start selling them. I was one of the lucky ones at a Microsoft PDC and bought mine for $150. I can tell you after I broke my lcd I worked with IMATE for a repair and they wanted $200 for a new LCD, but they could not tell me what the labor charge would be and I would have to pay for shipping to and from United Arab Emerates which from the TNT shipping company looked to be $80 each way. So I saw $200 + Labor charge $50 to $100 + 80 + 80 = $410 or $460 and did not feel the device was worth that.
I did put in a "Want it now" search in EBay and everyone wanted $200 or more just for the LCD panel
My thought was I was having a heck of a time 3 weeks to even find anyone who would sell a LCD or fix the device themselves. I tried many places in UK and Canada with no luck. This place was in USA (so i could bug them easier on what was happen) and seems to have a good reputation on the web.

you'll be lucky! even with the wm2005 upgrade they are nowhere near as good as a universal. And HP sell refurb ones on ebay for about £200....

You've been trying to sell this for the last for months it seems - stick it in the m.e.n or the loot! Or stick it on ebay - asking the same things in different threads won't necessarily get you different answers....perhaps if you posted a price that you wanted rather than asking for offers. As I guide I sold a mint one on ebay last week for £300. The sooner you sell it, the more it'll sell for - the price of new technology goes down, not up, with age.

Mine is worth more than a refurb one because I have:
iPaq HX4700 (as new boxed) With WM5 installed
Original cradle, instructions, cables, disks and box etc
3 stylus including 1 with built in pen
Spare Battery 2000mAh x 2
Spare Battery 3600mAh x 1
External standalone charger for spare batteries
Additional power/sync cable
HP emergency charger (works off 9v battery)
Clip-on Thumbpad (part no 375265-001)
GPS - Rikaline X6 High Sensitivity CF Receiver (brand new still in box unused except for testing)

I agree , E-bay is crap ! I have just tried to sell my Exec and ended up in a tricky situation with a buyer with no feedback trying to get me to send to and unverified address - Paypal state that I'll only be covered by the seller protection policy if I send to a verified address , But I mailed e-bay about the matter and they suggested I go ahead and sell to the guy anyway ! talk about contradiction !
This is the third succesive time I have tried to sell an item on ebay and had the auction end with some idiot trying to rip me off
E-bay only seem to be interested in collecting their fee
Fortunately , I found a buyer oustside of ebay , and should I be looking to sell anything in the future , I'll be doing the same
Ebay just seems to be a big headache where higher value items are concerned these days :?

Hp's have *warranty* as well, and the 'refurb' classification is a generalisation, I have it on good authority the ebay items are brand new end of line with a full 2 yr warranty. They're even selling them from hp's www.ipaqchoice.co.uk site for £250! All the accesories are cheap too....
Richard

I can't help myself...
Ipaq choice are not cheap for accessories. If you purchase the accessories from Ipaq Choice you would pay £519.48 The following prices are cut and paste directly from the Ipaq Choice website
(they exclude VAT),
Screen Protectors Covertec £9.36
Battery 1,800 mAh (hx4700 series) HP £48.51
Extended Battery 3,600mAh (hx4700) HP £82.55
iPAQ 9-Volt Emergency Power Adapter HP-Belkin £8.51
USB Power Sync Travel Kit Belkin £29.78
Stylus 3-Pack Replacement Kit HP £11.91
Thumb Keyboard HP £27.23
SD Card (512MB) HP £62.12
GPS Receiver G-Space £110.63
HP iPAQ hx4700 Pocket PC HP £295.74
You are welcome to think that the HX4700 is nowhere near as good as a HTC Universal, however I personally think both PDAs have pros and cons. The biggest con for the HX4700 is the lack of built in phone and 3G (although it wasn't orginally purchased as that type of device). While the HTC Universal is relatively big and heavy, and as good as the screen is, it's still not as good or big as the HX4700. Not everyone wants their phone built in to a PDA.
I've made a choice that I need my phone built into my PDA, and I need 3G speed so I have a HTC Universal, however it took me many months to finally accept that I could not keep using 2 PDAs. I've lived with both devices for a long time and it's not as clear cut as "the HX4700 is nowhere near as good as a universal".

If we're going brand new, full price, then a Universal / jasjar is £644.95 :shock:

I didn't say the accesories were cheap from ipaqchoice, I said ipaqchoice sell the refurb units, and that the accesories were cheap - the batteries are on ebay.

I've still got them both, and I've also run the wm2005 update for the hx4700 ( did you? It's only just out - the official version I mean :wink: )
and do not rate it in comparison for the Universal. There is a lag opening menus despite the fast processor, and the display on the ipaq doesn't compare with my toshiba e800 or the jasjar in VGA.
Richard

I obvioulsy misunderstood about your mention of cheap accessories :wink:
There are some good registry tweaks for getting the HX4700 running smoothly, they are different to the HTC Universal ones. In my opinion I got the HX4700 running faster. I use a USA ROM and yes I've only had it installed for 3 weeks but that was long enough to get to know the performance.
My wife has my old Toshiba e800 and again in my opinion the screen is not as good as the iPaq. I'm sorry if you don't like me having a different opinion to you.
I have already said how good I think the HTC Universal is - I already own one!
I respect your opinions and I also like other PDA's!
Be happy

all the fuss about htc touch diamond

Hi, i have been reading alot about the htc touch diamond which released few days ago. i have seen 1 on ebay and the guy who is selling it, has very honestly stated in the phone description that it doesn't have GPS antena so u need a external receiver to use it as a sat nav. is that true cos if it is then i definitely won't be buying it...

I dont know why this is in the Sony Xperia forum for a start...it should be in the Diamond part of the forum.
As for it not having a GPS in it??...of course it does...if his hasnt got one then its obviously not a Diamond is it??. Every Diamond has a built in GPS chip simple as that.

thnax 4 clearing this up
hi, Thanks for ur reply, don't know why that guy on ebay was saying it then, don't think anyone will be buying his touch diamond after reading that..

No problems, if your going to buy a Diamond then buy it from a place in the UK...wouldnt touch ebay for phones unless they are dirt cheap plus the ones on there at the moment are all grey imports ie not official uk spec models.
Tommorrow most online mobile places like mobilefun.co.uk, play.com, powerupmobile.com etc etc will all have proper uk stock so your better off and safer to buy one off them. Play.com are selling them at £430 with free delivery and mobilefun, where i just ordered one today are doing them for £435 with del included.

cheers for that
thanks i will definitely not be buying it from ebay. do u know if sat nav navigation software will be included in the box or you will have to buy that separately? i bet it will cost you over £500 including car charger and cradle and navigation software? i bought xda orbit 2 for £330 two months ago if i knew diamond was coming out i would have waited a bit now orbit 2 is gone cheap, so gota sell this n then get.......

All i know is that it has GPS integrated but no sat nav software unless you buy it from O2 or tmobile, who may bundle it in etc. Otherwise it probably wont come with any.

well i got mine from ebay (hong kong) from this guy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-HTC-Touch...oryZ3312QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
service was very good, got the phone in 2 days, much cheaper than UK sellers and have had no probs with it, + the guy gives you a 12 month warranty and some nice free gifts (including a car charger for me and second screen protector, nice) i would recommend this. who cares if its a grey import, your UK warranty counts for squat once you have edited the ROM etc lol so just get it cheap, that guy is good enjoy
Also you dont get sat nav software out of the box (unless you buy it form like T-Mobile or summin), you do get google maps tho (which i got), and that uses GPS, and is pretty cool

Yes. So do you want me to set it up at Ebay?

[Q] Is this price possible?

I am really big fan of HTC HD2, but I still get tired with my old Omnia i900. Yesterday searching the Internet I found HD2 in very strange price - 567 PLN (about 185 USD). And my question is: should I try and buy this one or look for any more expensive? Should I trust this seller?

As device is 4yrs old that price is possible for old stock, I buy them around 90USD for 100% working clean examples with void stickers still present ...

Hm... I forgot to write it's completely new. So it is really, really strange.

I can buy new old stock for about same here in Thailand, seems about right to me. At HD2s age you get no HTC warranty & it is old hat hardware by today's standard, they need clear them & HD2 demand is not so high these days so prices have fallen.

So do you think I should buy this one?

No idea as not seen the retailers details, if has some form of buyer protection & return policy then might be worth it as buying used HD2's is only good if can be hands on with device prior to purchase as eBay etc are full of the sh1te used devices.
I sure would not want spend more on a new old stock 4yr old handset with known digitiser & bga failings.

I am not recommended you to buy this. Because i think it also old. You did not get same version from old version...

You'll try to buy an used item on ebay.. it's an old funny phone.. but I bought a Nexus 4 for that price!

great post

i am wondering anybody is still using this device today

I have still 2 HTC HD2 at home.
At the one the screen is broken and in the other the mainboard seems to have a problem.
Actually i wanted to join them. But since i have a Moto G, the HD2 is nearly completly out of my Head.
But i had really nice 4 years with this device.
Do you really want to spend this much money on such a old device?
I don't know. I would really recommend you not to do that.
If you are a dev, then it is maybe ok, but as a simple user...?
I think the times are nearly over or not? But if your money is falling out of your pocket
As i said did not follow HD2 since 5 months. I would reccomend you to buy a Brand new Moto G.
Google converted middel class Hardware phones to low class price phones. Excellent!

looks like a used phone to me.
