hello,
my HD2 device fell on the ground and my digitizer crashed... fortunately i have screen protector, so touch and everything works. Problem is, that i have no signal since it crashed. I want to buy new one but im afraid that new digitizer won solve my signal issue. I also want to ask where is antenna located and if itş possible to fix. Sorry for my bad english
Yep the digitizer wont fix your signal issue, but when you will open up you phone, you will see loose wire. Just clip it in to its place and your done

I broke the original LCD display and the touch screen, then my Artemis has been in the desk, turned off, for a month... Then I bought a new display with touch screen on ebay and have installed it successfully. Somehow, after the replacement, the GPRS is difficult to connect, most times it is not able to connect. I've discovered also that Wifi is not working very well, it drops from time to time...
I've already upgraded the radio rom for the latest one, 3.34.90, to try to solve the problem and it looks like it did not help.
The only thing that I can suspect of being the cause of this, is the type of the display, is related to the hole in back of the display, which could mean a different type of display. The original one had a "L" shaped hole and the new one has a retangular shaped hole.
The new one is like this below:
The old one was like this below:
Any thoughts?
maybe when you disassembly the phone the contacts of wifi antenna and gsm antenna who is on the back cover didnt make good connection try to disassembly again and pull little the contacts to be sure that make good connection.
Thanks for the reply, but it seems it was coincidence.
Recently, a new operator started their services on my region and that seems to be the cause for the unstable GPRS. Regarding the Wifi signal, it was bad at that day, but now it is ok. Maybe it was really a matter of bad contacts on the antenna, and somehow it is cured now...
Originally I suspected of the type of display because there was a merchant on Ebay that stated these types were different, but sounds like bull****.
Thanks anyway.
Hiya, I've got a HD2 with a couple of problems.
My brother had it as contract upgrade from his iPhone 3G back in February, and it was fantastic for around a month. As he never needed the insurance on his iPhone, he didn't take it out on his HD2, and you know whats coming don't you? It fell from his pocket and cracked the screen pretty badly.
As he didn't want the hassle or expense of fixing it, he went back to the iPhone and left the HD2 in a drawer. I found it a couple of weeks ago and asked what he was doing with it, he said I could have it if I got it fixed. The digitiser was the only thing wrong with it, so I took it to a local phone repair shop. After a week away having the glass replaced, I picked it up today and have found a couple of problems.
1. The phone can't find any networks.
I know its locked to O2, but with my O2 SIM card in it, it won't find any networks (the signal strength icon is the phone mast with an exclamation mark). Manually or automatically searching doesn't make a difference.
2. The Volume buttons don't work
They don't seem to make any difference to sound levels when pressed, and they seem harder to press than they used to be.
Now, I think the second problem would be fixed with a simple take-apart-put-together job, but I'm more worried about the first problem. Why would the phone lose the ability to find a network? When the digitiser is replaced, does the antenna get removed? Could it be that it hasn't been reattached properly?
I'd take it back and get it fixed properly.
Found no networks: I don't know the Hardware of HTD2 explicitely in its assemling process so I can just guess:
For my Touch diamond I got the problem that the antennacable (a tiny internal coaxial cable) was unplugged. That may be the problem here, too if GSM-Antenna is softwired in HD2.
Or try a hardreset (probably reflashing)
to get to the screen you have to strip every last part of the hd2. hunt down the official assemble disassemble video.
your problems have all the hallmarks of assembly errors. an antenna cable gets tugged when you close the case, volume buttons get caught, etc etc
id take it back and have them look at it again.

I agree with that. And most likely they will do that for free as it was their fault (if its an assembly error)
Hello Guys,
I just got my HD2 from repare, had to change the screen since it became unresponsive.
After I got it back, installed both WP7 and Anrdoid on it, I found out that the phone is not detecting any wifi networks. I tried in both WP7 and Android, and both of them do not detect any wifi networks. So it looks like when they changed the screen, they messed up WIFI connectivity. I'm guessing they might have forgotten to connect one of the connectors.
I am planning to take it back to them, but I was wondering if any of you knows which connector is for the WIFI, and if its easily visible once I take the back cover off, since I already done that before.
Thanks in advance
Hi dude,
if a connection is a problem and you even going to find it don't do it yourself.
it's a pretty small and gentle stuff, so you must know what you doing and how to connect them. Obviously you will need some serious tools.
my guess if you had all that - you already been doing this and not asking here.
so advice - not touching anything, not making it worse.
Best case: the connector came loose (which is not all that uncommon). It's the connector on the black wire on the top right side of the main board.
Worst case, they broke off a contact (which is also quite common).
Either way, don't try to repair it yourself but bring it back to the repair shop. If they accidentally broke off a contact then that requires a professional repair.
Thanks guys.
After some tests, I found out that the phone does detect wifi networks, but have extremely bad reception. I have to be very close to the wifi router for it to detect the network.
Any idea what might be causing this?

Like I said, either a loose connector or a contact has broken off. That will give you about 1 bar of reception while sitting next to your router...
Hi guys,
hopefully somebody can help me with the problem I have with my beloved HD2. I've successfully replaced the digitizer within my HD2. My problem is though, that the phone only boots when it's not in its housing. When I take the mainboard out of the phone's housing, the phone boots just like it should. But as soon as I put the mainboard back in, the phone doesn't boot, it only vibrates and then shows a black screen (with the backlight turned on).
Any ideas on this? I'm kinda desparate right now . Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
propably bad used screen without scratches! happened same.. just digitizer dont working when in housing..
HD2
HD2 the best of the best
May a bad cable connection be the reason?
Or a slack joint?

hi
hi i too have the same problem i spent 3k to change its display and touch pad and now he sasys theres a problem with a strip and demanding 1k . now i feel like thrashing the phone . dies any body know the solution for this ... it boots magldr and then showsup android logo and restarts this is what it happens continuosly
So I bought a HD2 with bad touch screen. The issue was the very common one that every one knows, red button that was poking into the touch screen flex cable. I opened up the phone and fixed the issue and touch screen was working perfectly fine. In the process, unfortunately, I chipped a little edge of the front glass/digitizer. It was not a big deal as phone was still working fine. But I decided to buy a new front glass.
When my new front glass arrived, I separated the digitizer/front glass from LCD, but then half of my LCD got corrupted. So I ended up buying an LCD too!!!
Now comes the issue: when I put the phone together, touch screen doesn't work at all. I have tried all combinations of NEW / OLD digitizer and NEW / OLD lcd. Nothing works. I wonder if anyone can help me figure out why?
P.S. When testing, I happened to connect the phone to my 5w wall charger directly connecting it to power pins (without battery installed). Would that be why I lost touch? Is the touch issue now because of motherboard that was directly connected to adapter, not getting power from its designated battery?
have you tried the old lcd with old digitizer (which was working)?
tried it before replacing?
did you made some change to the software before replacing?
I currently have this problem too while trying to revive my old- almost 3 years inactive- HD2 with new touchscreen, and still trying to figure out where is the problem

Yes I had tried the old LCD, and that didn't work either.
I installed a WiFi Keyboard on it.
Did you resolve this issue?
