Is that I lose the warranty and that I do not care anymore in my life I bought some phones from Sony and since I have my nokia n900, I want to experiment with and since sony has a 1GB processor, I imitate samsung galaxy tab, the one idea of the components I need I am willing to do welding on the X10i.

Still some problems left...
1) hardware
2) software
3) 32fps lock on a tab???
4) housing? (cover)

These were my thoughts exactly. I would think you'd have to use a similar spec screen and if not, you'd have to know how to make the software on the phone recognize the screen. As far as the housing goes, you could always try and gut one of those cheapo chinese knock off tablets. You'd still be hard pressed to find a compatible screen too since most of those knockoffs use resistive screens and the x10 uses a capacitive screen. You could still probably get away with a resistive screen, but who would want that anyway.

I played with nexus s

I went to best buy and actually played with a nexus s for a while. All I need to say is wow. Its a really incredible phone if anyone has any questions ask I can tell u anytthing concerning the phone.

Is the GUI really responsive as Google claims to be?

What are missed call/message/etc alert like without the tackball?

Is scrolling in the browser accelerated? Any choppiness at all like froyo browser at this forum?

That's all fine and good, but there is no way I can get excited when i'm reading things like this:
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-officially-announces-tegra-2-dual-core-optimus-2x
I'm not upgrading with dual core literally right around the corner. The only way I'll pry Nexus One out of my hand is with a true upgrade.

I tend to agree with you, but I'm still going to Best Buy tomorrow to play with the Nexus S and see how Gingerbread performs. The stores near me have around 35 in stock each. I hope it doesn't perform really well, it might cause my credit card to slip out of my wallet accidentally.

Was the curve screen prominent? What difference did you see in the touchscreen?

I wonder if the Nexus One will still get updates after Gingerbread is released now that the Nexus S is on the scene.

True

I think it will. Nexus One specs are still meeting or exceeding Android phones today. Plus not every new phone in 2011 will be dual core.
Now will it run every app? That remains to be seen. Already we're not going to get the full Google Maps experience.

This and is it curved only in one direction or it's totally caved in? Coz I suppose putting on a screen protector might not be easy with a caved in screen. You can't use a flat screen protector in that case unless they make the protector curved as well.

It's only curved lengthwise: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4059/nexus-s-and-android-23-review-gingerbread-for-the-holidays

How durable does the screen feel. I read somewhere Gorilla Glass couldn't make a cover that would work on it. Better yet if someone could key the crap out of a demo and report back that'd be awsome too.

The glass is flat and smooth and actually felt like it was scratch resistent

you sure? i cannot believe that bootup will take 5 sec after installing some apps. hell i can't even believe it'll take 5 seconds without any 3rd party app...
and my definition if bootup is: homescreen is setup and ready to go. because aufter seing the homescreen it'll still load a lot of stuff in the backgroud, therefore it's important to count in the time until you can really use the device.

HTC = garbage!!! 3rd HTC phone with digitizer problems!

1st HTC Touch2, the digitizer failed completely.
2nd Google Nexus one, working digitizer but horribly unresponsive.
...and now my practically new, 2 month old HTC G2/Vision's lower part of the screen/digitizer has completely failed. I mean just above the capacitive button, about 1/2" of the screen has failed and is unresponsive, the rest of the screen works completely fine. So this means I can't tap on the phone/app drawer/browser icons unless the phone is in landscape mode.
They make such beautiful phones but such crappy quality.
Hope the warranty it otherwise I'm throwing this brick thru their headquarter's front window.

I think it's you, because all the HTC Phones I had (Magic, Legend, Nexus, G2) none of theme ever had any problems. And one of the points HTC has above all other manufacturers is quality.

Sounds like you have been incredibly unlucky. I've owned about 8 or 9 HTC devices. Currently use 3 (G2, HD2 & HD7) and haven't had any issues with any of them. I do remember people having issues with the digitizer on the Blackstone (HD)
Your warranty should cover you though

Do you live in a dry area where static electricity can build up easily? I ask because once I killed a phone digitizer by zapping it....

So far I have had an iPod Touch=Digitilzer fail Completely, HTC HD2=Screen is Black, HTC HD7= Camera stopped working

same here i even used a g1 w a shattered digitizer for like 4 months and my g2 has had 0 issues so far

my g1 did work flawless even with a cracked screen, best phone HTC has made to date. I have dropped that thing at least a hundred times and it just worked.
I have yet to drop the G2 (probably cuz its so heavy) but I did not expect it to have this problem.
I guess there are bad batches in all, but the thing that pisses me off, is that I called HTC and they are willing to replace the digitizer, but I have to pay for shipping! WTF?!?!

your carrier should do this for free....
unless you bought it outright. then either suck it up or live with it. or fix it yourself.
life sucks.. then you die.

another HTC customer who has yet to have a problem (that I didn't cause myself) with their products...
perhaps there is some environmental factor that is causing this problem continually for you.. why haven't you tried another brand of phone if you are unhappy with HTC? (not picking on you, just curious - it would help identify if it's an HTC problem or something else)

Not to sound like steve jobs, but you're holding it wrong. Literally.
It is a CAPACITIVE screen, that means that you need to complete an electric circuit between the metal ring around the outside of the screen and the screen itself. It also helps if your fingers aren't too DRY.
Try to touch the metal ring firmly with the same hand you are using to touch the screen.

I think you just treat your phones badly

i have a pretty new g2 and for some reason my screen is unresponsive sometimes.. i mean for like 2 minutes it wont let me use the screen at all for touch, i can still use the track ball..
then it comes back and i can use the screen again, sometimes it bugs out and clicks stuff on its own.. i have tried different roms and no help yet..
so maybe it can be a phone problem, anyone ever find a solution?

it should still be under warranty right? i got it second hand, this phone cant be more than 2 months old.. its driving me crazy, its even clicking apps and doing stuff by itself.. the screen is bugging out on me lol.. deng im upset now, hopefully ill get it all sorted out with tmobile tomorrow. it should still be under factory warranty....

My HTC's have been nothing but great to me. I am also very very careful with my stuff...I use a belt holder/screen protector and I baby it as I have all of my stuff.

[Q] Can i replace a HTC Desire Z / G2 LCD screen with a Desire S one?

As the question states can i do so?
I see both have same screen resolution, screen type and size, what am not sure of is if the bus connector is in the same position.
I can't get a Desire Z screen from my where i am right now because they arent available at the moment(and not sure when they will), what's available is that of the Desire S. I cant order from the internet either because that would mean i would have to wait till January to get it
Can someone confirm if it will work? I'm a little desperate and need the phone working as soon as possible. Please help

Not sure really look up teardowns and see if it even looks similar, I imagine the ribbon cable itself and placement location might be different. Have you tried searching here and google? I'm curious to know since I repair smart phones, but I've never used a screen from another phone like that.

I have to say, I've been delightfully impressed by HTC this time around. Not only did they make a great piece of hardware, they also didn't make it too much of a pain to customize it software size it. Between HTC Dev and not having to manually flash a boot.img through fastboot, I'm definitely pleased with my phone. The ONLY let down I have is a couple of dead pixels on my rear camera. Then again, I'm not one to take many pictures!

Here's a picture of a white bed sheet. Notice the small black dot. That is the cluster if dead pixels. It isn't too noticeable, but it drives my OCD crazy. The ONLY reason I don't return it for a replacement is that I'll most likely end up with an even more faulty device than the one I currently have.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I've had mine since launch (in the States) and I'm absolutely in love with it. In fact, this week I'm finally pulling the trigger on selling my iPhone 5 64GB - I'm now 100% sure I won't be going back (but lets not make this an Apple bashing thread lol)!
I'll also add, I've always had black phones (see my signature) and I'm incredibly pleased I did something different this time around and went with Silver/White. Such a beautiful device.

This is really strange. I've also never heard of this. Some DSLR's can have "stuck" pixels in their sensor. Most Canon's have what they call a "Manual Sensor Cleaning" in their menu options to help alleviate that issue.
I would imagine it's simply a defect in the sensor itself - thus not being able to capture that group of pixels. In all honesty, I would send it back. But that's just me, I wouldn't be able to live with that.

My device battery went faulty right in the middle of my vacation, but I don't think I will change to SG4 for any reason. This phone rocks.

Why? Why take the chance of returning it and receiving a device in worst conditions just because of a nano spec on the lens or screen? You can't even see it unless you search for it. That would be ridiculous. He's device is in great conditions besides that one spec that you cant even see.

I see your point of view and I understand. However, I guess some of us just don't want to settle for something that does have a flaw... even if it is that small.
Granted, I will admit some of these guys around here get a little carried away... like the guy that returned his device 8 times. I would have given up after 3 personally.

I paid $650 for my One. And replaced iPhone 5. For that kind of money I'd expect everything to work and be pristine. That's from my point of view.
