Looks like a moisture issue. Was it ever came contact with water? If so, the same might get corrected automatically, if you keep it aside, say for 10 days or so (depends). Otherwise will have to take it to the service center, and if it is under warrenty, they will get your touch screen replaced for free, but they will make sure that there was no water contact (there is a mechanism inside the device, by which they can know whether water went inside or not). Otherwise, you will have to pay...

That's really good to know .
Best of luck.

My screen have a similar problem, but only on upper left corner. A small fade. I think i'll have to change my screen soon too.
@Jyot: I found one screen on ebay at 17,99 USD. Very cheap. In my city (here in Brazil) it cost 131,00 USD. 1/3 of Gene's price.

I guess these YouKnowWhats have made a standard pricing throughout the world (So that people go for a new device than repair one). Ha Ha I need to get a battery and casing for my Vox (can't use ebay) and I am scared to death

Really is a s**t these companies who overprice repair parts of yours products to force people buy a new device. It's really a shame.
@Addicted: Some sellers on ebay ships worldwide. If you have a paypal account is easy to buy there. In some cases is the only solution to buy for a decent price.

Unfortunately I don't have a credit card and nor am I eligible for one

thankyou sir...now lemme send it for repairs and then demand awesome roms...

For those who want to change your screen yourselves I have an advice. Before buy a new lcd, keep in mind that lcd for old gene is diferent from lcd of new gene. So take care before buy a replacement.

thnx for the advice

Reviving the topic ...
As my gene is no longer under warranty I decided to change the screen. It worked very well. Much cheaper than sending in for repair. I spent only 17.99. Looks like I have a new device.
To disassemble your gene just follow this link.

You could always sell it via eBay or some other popular auction site. I recently purchased a brand new HD2 from eBay for £275.00 in total. I have not modded it yet but will do in time. Im currently planning to sell my HD to make some money back but if you are going to sell your HD, the sonner the better, especially because the value of the HD is dropping rapidly

[Q] Shall I buy this one, someone PLEASE advice

Hello guys and SENIORS, I am planning to buy a HTC HD2, but there are allot of things & models are available on ebay, can someone please have a look at this one and recommend if it is a good device/deal, as it's seems like they are giving away a Huge amount of EXTRAS.

sure looks...enticing !!go ahead...

buyers feedback looks ok but I would email & ask reason for selling & confirm that the phone is 100% genuine, purchased by him new, 100% working & has it ever had repair work.
Failure to clarify these points could leave you with a £260 headache ...
Due to some HD2s suffering from some problems & dismantling being more technially challanging a lot of problems handsets are out there so buyer must be smart ...

Thanks Johnerz for the advice, but on what basis you are saying that the accessories he/she is offering don't even worth £50, I have searched a bit for just 3 items and they are costing EXACTLY £83.29, as follows:
1. TomTom West EU map £44.95
2. Battery £19.99 (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-ba-s400-battery-1230-mah-p21962.htm)
3. Cradle / charger £18.35 (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-dual-charging-cradle-p22978.htm)
I haven't even searched for Leather pouches yet.
Thanks anyway for your advice
Kind regards

Personally I would recommend the T-Mob US model as the 1GB memory makes it a far more usable device compared to EU 512MB ...
Buy the best you possibly can, close to new as possible & with no dubious issues or fuzzy replies to questions.

Thanks for the advice Mister B, seller replied as follows:
Hi This phone is an original HTC HD2 not any third party/un-known China make, phone is factory sealed never been opened or repaired, only 4 month old (by the time of putting on sale here)(Bought on Ebay sealed). Selling it because got a new HTC Sensation on upgrade, Return is accepted but obviously I will note IMEI & all the device's information through the ParcelForce service before sending to secure my self as well as buyer, look at my 100% feedback, I am not here to scam anyone, never did.

Mmm checked his buying history, no history of buying an HD2 but he has recently just purchased an HD2 box !
Seller also buys quite a few HTC devices, on 5th of July purchased Desire HD ...
Personally I would not buy it.
My rules on buying phones via eBay are never to buy items previously purchased via eBay & item history with any dubious credibility, For starters your getting device in non original box & what else in non original & questionable !
Second issue is price, £260 is a lot for a questionable 4 month+ device.
I would recommend looking at a T-Mob HD2 as some good bargains & brand new devices are available.

I say buy a new one with a warranty. I bought an HD2 from ebay and I'm regretting it now. You NEVER know what phone you're really getting.
HD2 is cheap enough now to buy on amazon. You'll want to thank me if and when you need it repaired, and can do it under warranty

if you cant sell it, its afine... just give it to me for free ..please am in need of a spare dz and am poor to buy it too :crying:

there is nothing free in the wild , boy.

The parts are available on ebay for rather cheap. Especially when there are guides available (Google is your friend).

Yup, you can get the digitizer for like 10 buck w/ shipping (kinda crapy one, got one myself, but it works ) and the ribbon cable will run you another 10-15 bucks, shipping included. I would advise in picking up the fresh adhesive (lcdfix on ebay sells them for 3-4 bucks). Disassembly and reassembly is a bit annoying, but there is a certain satisfaction when you re-animate your phone .

[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.
