I have both phones.
The T Mobile is in much better shape (in additional to the extra mem) and I was wondering how hard it would be to swap just the cell transmitter / receiver.
thx in advance
Arent most SoCs have everything soldered down on the motherboard? The only things that are not soldered down are stuff like camera and screen, since those are connected through ribbons. If you somehow are able to pull it off, I'd be dumbfounded lol.
I was hoping that the 'Receiver P/N 36H00838-00M' was different on each phone.
I went ahead and pulled and swapped.
I was a little lucky - neither was bricked - but no joy.
The T Mobile tried to maintain a E connection (failed) and the 9193 didn't do anything.
I swapped the Receivers back so I'm where I started.
Except for data speed I truly like the T Mobile a lot more. I feel like the display is better (and the extra mem is really great!!)

blimey, skills. nice one. Wanna come swap out my cracked screen for me? my hands shake farrr to much. hehe
Presumably when you swapped the receivers you also updated the radios appropriately? I recently got a 8585 and was pondering purchasing a receiver to try what you describe here.
Are you going to sell your T9193? I may be in need of the motherboard from it to repair mine and have been trying to find someone with one they'd sell cheap. Does your T9193 work just fine?
Thanks

Ndarkstar, if you try this would you let me know of the results? Like my last post said my T9193 motherboard is going and it would be way cheaper if I could just switch out the receiver to get 3G with ATT than to buy another phone from Australia. I plan on also PMing you with this Ndark, just in case you dont see this post. Thanks

I actually want to try the same thing. Did anyone have any success? I have a T9193 with a bad digitizer and a working T8585. Also, I wonder if I can swap the entire mainboard from the T9193 into the T8585? I know the LCD and Digitizer in the T8585 are slightly different but will all the connectors fit? Any input would be appreciated.

May want to look here first... http://www.phonegg.com/compare/12/HTC-Touch-vs-HTC-P3450.html
Your P3050 from Telus is the Vogue(CDMA) while the P3450 is known as the ELF(GSM)
Where the digitizer may be concerned they may be the same, but the phones are completely different while a search on EBay for "P3050 digitizer" came up with 12 hits for the item your seeking
basically, if you have to ask "do you think it will work?" you probably are better off not trying and getting the hardware that fits rather than spending cash on something that may or may not work unable to get a refund and having to spend more to get the right item to start with...
Im assuming your asking this as you already attempted to go to the Telus location near you and dealing with them and or your insurance ( you DO have insurance on delicate electronic equipment that has a high degree of gravimetric interface issues (aka gets dropped and broke easy) LOL

No it won't work... They both use different D-pads
the one you would want would be here

That's a very good price. Jump on it if you need it. When I was looking for them a couple of months ago I couldn't find one for less than $50. Of course, that price included a case that I didn't need...
About that ebay link
Ironically, I JUST bought that same digitizer from that same ebay seller this week, and installed it last night. I have an HTC Touch from Sprint, but this new digitizer worked perfectly. Right fit, easy to connect. Took 4 days to get the item from the time I bought it. Couldn't recommend them more.

I don't know what Telus' warranty is, but I suggest getting a replacement.
Do any of you know where to get "spare" parts for these devices? I recently came across an HD2 with a broken USB connector and I need to get a new circuit board and hardware buttons... just wondering if any of you knew of any sources?
Same problem here. Broken usb and answer and return buttom broken. Htc charges to much for repairing..... Bought a desire hd instead.... Good luck searching.

just to add on this. type "faulty" or "damaged" for mobile phones and you'll come up with a host of devices that're being sold cheap. you can then further filter it down to htc and you should get a few. saw one the other day with the volume keys malfunctioning.
Any of you guys still got your old, broken HD2 lying around?
I damaged the one of the pins on my wifi module after replacing the touch-screen digitizer, now I'm only getting 10-20% signal strength over wifi.
I can't find the part anywhere and wondered if anyone would be up for selling theirs, either the module or whole broken phone?

My screen stopped responding a few days ago. Pretty sure its a HW problem since I've flashed to different working ROMs and it doesn't respond to anything. I'm still debating if I should invest in fixing it or a new phone. If the price is right, I'd be willing to sell it. PM me
Makes a HD2 be a T9193 and not a T8585????
The reason I'm asking is because I disemboweled my T9193 and I cannot find another one at a decent price, but I might be able to buy a T8585 for a reasonable price and if the key part it still in one piece may be a repair shop can swap them around.
Or that does not makes any sense?
Thanks,
Should be the mainboard and possibly the lcd and outer housing. The 8585 is the 1024 Mb TMOUS right?
If so, then definitely the board would be different, and I think the Euro HD2's have a different lcd display than the TMOUS's.
What piece do you need to replace anyway?
I don't really know to be honest...
It started with the usb port problem but after several disasembling combined with my lack of experience and use of wrong tools I don't know how far the damage is, especially because after I screwed a couple of things up I kind of gave for granted that the phone was not salvagable and started "peeling" things off just to see. That's why I thought of using this one as a donor but I'm not sure it would work if there are several pieces needed.
It was after that when I started looking for a new one that I realised that there are none T9193's on the market any more (not even in Australia where these were used mostly by Telstra)
The thing is that I need a phone with wi fi hotspot to use in February in a job out where I need to connect to internet on my laptop but I'm not sure what to buy. I wanted to give a try to the HTC Edge once it came out but if I spend $500+ now on a phone I won't be able to buy the Edge in few more months.
At the moment the only candidates I see are either the galaxy S2 Skyrocket or the HTC vivid.
And to be honest even though the Galaxy seems to be a better option I'm a HTC fan and after having the HD2 for almost 2 years I'm not sure I'll like Android.
Yes, I know it sounds stupid but I got used to WM 6.5 my girlfried has an Android phone an I played with it a bit but I'm totally lost with it.
So I either find a cheap unlocked 3G (with AT&T bands) and wifi hotspot to last until the Edge comes out, or ditch out now for either the Galaxy or vivid and forget about the Edge later
YABD - Yet Another Broken Digitiser.
A couple of months ago my hd2 decided it didn't like me anymore and wouldn't respond to touch input. I gave up on it, but I'm really missing it and have been looking to get it fixed.
I've been looking at digitizers on ebay (non-soldering type)
Could someone who's done this please help me and point out if either one of this is the right kind?

I have the T-Mobile HD2 but am in the UK. From what I've read the T-Mobile version has the "plug-in type" so it should be what I need.
well, just try searching tmous lcd
but the thing is that our device is quite old and there might not be anything left

I've been a few months without my HD2 and got an Infuse to tide me over. My HD2 had the same problem and HTC said repairs would be as high as $160. I bought the glass for $26 thinking that I have replaced one on an Aria, iphone4 and repaired someone else's work on an iPhone4, so this should be cake. I watched every video I could find, got all my tools out and with a few undisturbed hours and a well-lit office, set to work... and totally BORKED my phone. The digitizer ended up separating into a deck of mylar-like cards and reintroduced me to its version of 52 card pickup. Disassembling to the point of the touchscreen/digitizer is easy enough, but that touchscreen/digitizer is a b****! I then ordered another glass & digitizer (not already sealed together) and set about putting those in, and... I am back where I started - with a non-responsive touchscreen. I ended up findin an HD2 on craigslist for $100- in winmo only, the touchscreen is sometimes nonresponsive, but haven't had this issue show up in AmericanAndroid, SD version (yet). If you try to do it yourself, watch every video and get this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HTC-HD2...005?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b0ad776d for the TMoUS version.
do NOT use the ones in your ebay links as getting the glass separated from the digitizer is FAR more difficult (yes I used plenty of heat) than anyone lets on.
Well, I had attempted a repair on my hd2 (the international one); which I messed up big time.
After reading that comment, I guess I'll just sell for parts.
Problem is, I'm now in the UK, and getting it from the US means having to pay heavy customs charges on top of buying the phone.
I fixed my girl friend up an hd2. Had enough spare parts to make another. Well all I'm missing is the main flex ribbon which connects the camera, volume buttons, and wifi to the mother bored. My question is if the t8585 is compatible with my T-Mobile USA hd2. They seem to be identical but I don't wanna risk having to pay 45$ and it not working. As you can tell those functions are important to actually enjoy the hd2. Any help would be appreciated.

There's no problem to replace main flex ribbon with no matter what version: EU/Intl. version with US/TMo version.
