Waranty on TMobile G1 bought off of eBay

Hey guys,
Basically bought a g1 off of ebay about 6 months ago, and now the screen doesn't work. It should be covered by warranty, but HTC said tmobile look after it, and tmobile said because im not a customer HTC look after it? and so no one is taking responsibility.
Any ideas or advice?

sounds like big nusiness to me, just raise hell, tell HTC how much you have loved their customer service in the past and that you would hate for them to put a black mark on their own record. i would really hate to move to another phone company but if they refused to fix the phone as it is under warranty then i would

Yeah... it sucks a bit, when i try to live on the 'cutting' edge and buy stuff before it's sold locally... I'm gonna just cause a big fuss over it...
The most annoying thing, is it's the second g1! The first one I had, had a bad trackball. I noticed it straight away and sent it back to the seller, but it got 'lost' in transit. So i lost $500 usd on that one.... I'm not preprared to lose another $500!!

Don't bother trying to go through T-mobile. If it isn't bought through them, they can not and will not help you with a warranty exchange.
Your chances of getting warranty through HTC is slim unless you can somehow prove the phone is less than a year old.

that's not too hard to do since the phone was released on October 22nd of 2008

haha, word.

haha yeah, was thinking the same thing.. it's been out for less then a year...
I just got off the phone with HTC USA and they told me the same thing again, I have to go through tmobile. I was like No, I can't. I don't have an account with them. The phone was purchased 'out-right'. They said well in that case, the only other thing i can think of is if you go to Reapirs and they gave me their number. Said their only open like 8:30 - 5. So i'll have to call back in the morning...
Like why is everyone passing it around for? I mean, im sure tmobile don't actually repair the phone, they just ship it down to HTC for repairs.. whats the big deal?

What? omg where did it go?

bye bye HTC HD2!

It's time to say good buy to my HTC HD2
But and here's the big but when i had to do my upgrade for the new phone i went for the HTC HD2 and was very happy but when i came to download my photos i came across some pictures i had not taken at all, They were of the phone shop where i got it from so got back in touch with them and they said it was a ex demo i kicked of big time so they said they could not do any thing at all.
So i got in touch with the customer serivce and kicked of at them told the they had broken the law by given me a ex demo as new.
well told the i wanted a new HTC HD2 they said they did not do that phone any more so i asked that they replace it with the new HTC Desire HD they said no but after going on they came round to say yes
i have still got the same contract For
£15 a month with 300min and 300 txt and unliamted internet and a bolt on that i can change every 30 days and have to paid only £30 for the phone
now that's what i call customer serivce
well done T-mobile

well done

Desire HD
I dont blame you, thats an AWESOME phone!

nice one!
I bought HTC Touch HD when it was new, I had that allcare insurance, then my HD got stolen in crowd in a bus.
Then I requested new phone because of the insurance, they said they dont have anymore HD so they will get an HD2!
even that guy from insurance company who I spoke with was kind of happy for me he was like "nice, you get all new phone with only lost of old data and little effort. Ill send this HD2 to you as soon as possible!"
But yea desire HD will be something very cool, even cooler if you were in for android roms.

If you ever want a HD2 back I will be more than happy to swap you for your desire HD. Might even get the cr card out really want one

I'm convinced that the Desire HD is the best phone in the world right now. But the HD2+Android is as close as I can get to it so I'm happy.

I get free stuff out of T-mobile all the time and money off my bill. They make plenty of my money and yours. Good work man.

[Q] Best place to sell the Vega for parts?

Hi all,
Recently I dropped my Vega and broke the glass and digitizer.
Curry's have told me that it wouldn't be economical to repair & charged me £20 for the pleasure.
I have also gotten various different quotes from other quite frankly dubious companies online all above £180.
So I have come to the decision that it would be a lot more risk free to just buy another one.
I'd like to know if anyone knows a good place to sell my broken Vega for parts? Everything else is tested and working fine on it. I would stick it on eBay but I'm not really sure what a fair price would be.
If anyone could offer advice I would greatly appreciate it if I can reclaim any of my money back.
Thanks very much
Simon

Where do you plan on purchasing a replacement mate?
I've been desperately trying to get a hold of a new one for two weeks now!
Everywhere is out of stock. I've tried every Currys and PC World in the North East and online, they're all gone.
Any ideas?
I'd like to steer clear of eBay as nobody will guarantee a 100% scratch free screen.

Could try gumtree I got one two months old with receipt and case for 160 pound. Seen one go for 90 pound. They don't seem to sell very well second hand so even month old listings and they still have it forsale and drop the price.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, just thought I'd ask as you mentioned that you were going to get a new one.

[21 Dec] [Q] Selling my Beloved HD2. Head start here :)

Hello Guys
I am a very very happy owner of this amazing device, the allmighty HD2. As one of the early adopters I really know the true value of this beast, ahem, baby
Recently i've decided to sell this device as I need the cash for upgrading to a samsung nexus. I thought I would have enough cash to upgrade without sacrificing this device (i even had plans for putting it in a glass showcase and keep it in my living room ) bcoz i've taken care of it as if it was a part of me
It really looks like new after 2something years...
Anyways, I thought that I wanted to give you guys a shot before i put it on ebay, if someone is interested to buy this phone because i believe that only people in this community can really appreciate this device and its specs, history and future.
I intend to put it on ebay after xmas if nobody is interested here but because i have love thing for this device i would prefer to know it falls into good hands and not some kiddo that cant afford an idevice
The screen is new without a single mark, spotless and i have a ton of accessories to give to its new owner...
I will provide tons of pics later on if there is some interest about this.
If you got any questions just shoot!

How much are you planning in selling it for
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

Hi!
I'm interested! My own was recently lost/stolen and I think no other device will be good enough for me
I can asure your beloved HD2 will be in good hands Can you show some pics? How much will it cost including shipping costs? (I'm from Portugal)
Thanks!

I hope your talking about a galaxy nexus... lol just saying and I think there's a section here for this kind of thing

Hi guys, thanks for the interest.
The phone in ebay ranges from £100ish up to £200+ for perfect condition.
Mine comes with accessories though. 2 extra batteries, one genuine htc and another extended battery plus the one that's on the phone
Desk dock for the phone that charges a second battery, 3 silicone gel cases in various colours, a wall charger for the spare battery, it also has a vinyl skin applied to it. Plus its box and accessories that came with it the only thing I've lost is its original pouch.
I think for all the above a price of €200 / £165 is a fair price.
I will post pics of everything as soon as I get home coz I'm at work now...
One requirement only : the transaction will happen through ebay and paypal so we can both have a peace of mind. Upon agreement here, I will post it on ebay with a ridiculous price and then you can make an offer which I will accept of course
Also will post fully recorded / insured around Europe for €10

So, we're talking about 210€ including shipping costs, right? Won't you make it 200€? Or maybe could you sell it without accessories for a lower price? The one thing that I would really appreciate is the pouch, because that's the only thing that was lost/stolen with my HD2... Either way, if the device is in good condition I'm interested, please tell me what you are willing to do and show some pics!
Also: I'm supposing we're talking about an european device (given that you have a flag from Greece).
Oh, another thing I remembered: does it come with an SD card?

Its the European Edition bought originally from UK. Bought it sim-free so it was completely unlocked and unbranded (not that it matters now in android world, just saying )
I will provide an 8gig class 4 microsd which is already in the device and if i remember it right, there should be another one 2gig which came with the phone, which should still be in its box, but i will let you know for sure later tonight with the pics.
I will gather all accessories and make some pics tonight from home, its my lunch break now so not enough time for this

sorry for the late update, its a really busy period at work these days...
i managed to get some pics of the accessories which you can find in this picasa album here: htc hd2
please note that the desk dock supports 2nd battery charging and it also has a 3.5mm plug so you can use the phone for playing back music in a pair of desk speakers with 3.5mm input, for example pc speakers. i didnt like that so i opened the dock (just 4 ordinary screws) and pulled this 3.5mm inwards in the casing. of course if you like it its very easy to pull it back out again. The headphones which can be seen in their case there have been opened and used twice, because i have another pair from my desire that i use daily and at some point i thought i lost it, opened this one, two days later found the desire one and its been in its case since then. whoever gets he phone will confirm this, the headphones do look unused.
pics of the actual device will be uploaded first thing in the morning in the same folder (with the same link) and i will update my post here as well

As promised, multiple pics of the device can now be found on the same picasa folder i linked above...
same link here if you are too lazy to look above Da Album Link

Trust me i know what this phone is capable of... believe me its a very hard decision to sell it. If i had enough money i would never sell it
even if development dies in a couple of years still its one of the most historic devices ever created, if not THE most historic...

Allright, the device seems to be in good condition. Just 2 questions:
- It's got a screen protector applied to it, right? Is it easy to remove? Not that I don't recognize that it's important, but I might not like to see it live
- The skin in the background: is it easy to remove (leaving no bits or glue)? Once again, I might not like to see it live like that
Also tell me your thoughts about selling the device by itself only.

The screen protector is very easy to remove, i have changed many protectors and same quality as this one (the phone has never been without screen protector).
The vinyl in the back should be removed without leaving residues of any kind. Its the first i have applied and i havent removed one yet to know for sure, but its advertised as "easily removed without leaving any glue residues". Its made by Gelaskins.
Finally i dont want to sell the phone by itself as the rest of accessories have no use for me afterwards and i selling them by themselves one by one have no real value in ebay...
so its sold with everything pictured

Ok, I think everything's clear and fine concerning the device. Concerning the rest, that's what I was thinking, but it didn't harm to ask
So, what's next?

Goodmorning and Merry Xmas
I believe that the safest way for both of us, is ebay, especially for you with the buyer protection act. So i will post it there with a ridiculus price of buy it now something like £500 and i will leave the "make offer" option open. I will PM you the link of my listing and you can go there and make me an offer of 200€ which of course i will accept
I will backup my stuff and take it out of the device as i'm still using it, factory reset it and pack it so it will be ready for the post office as soon as the ebay transaction is cleared.
PS: right now I'm with Hyperdroid's CM7 rom with dorimatrix kernel do you need another rom flashed or should i just reset to factory defaults and leave the rest to you?

Good morning, Merry Christmas!!!
OK, I'll be checking my inbox for the link. As for the ROM, you can leave it like that, I like to flash and try new ROMs anyways

[Q] hd2 screen needed

OK, I know its a long shot, but does anyone have a hd2 screen they would like to sell, maybe one from a bricked phone? I dont have a lot of cash which is the reason I'm not buying a new one. I will happily pay postage and a little something for you or a donation to a charity of your choice - I was thinking around the £25 mark (its all I can afford really ).
I'm trying to get another 12 months from my hd2 before I upgrade to a One-X (depending on reviews )

I would buy it new so I know that the digitizer will work... just to be on the safe side... there's a good chance digitizer and/lcd screen will break during removal process unless you have experience removing digitizer then go for it.

I just can't bring myself to spend almost £100 for a new one - I'm quite confident I could do the job.
Maybe I should just go for one of the new quad core phones and say goodbye to the hd2, but I wanted to keep it as a second phone, I like the hd2 so much I have been using it with a badly cracked screen for almost a year and have the scars on my thumb to prove it

Instead of repairing and risking the damage... why not buy a used one and sell that one as part... I'm sure you'll make some money back to cover for the new one... its just options that I'm giving you...
