I dropped my tablet earlier and mangled up the bottom right corner of it. Thankfully, everything still works, but I'd like to get the casing replaced.
Would anyone here happen to have a spare casing for an Iconia A500 lying around?
I'm looking to spend around $20+shipping for it.
I've made a thread in the Wanting to Buy section for it, I believe that most of the chat should be in there (according to rules, from what I saw)
Note to mods: I was unable to find anything really covering doubleposting this in the WTB and in the Acer-specific sections, if I'm violating any rules doubleposting please let me know.

This is my second attempt at this thread, as the last one was irretrievably derailed by people who were too lazy to start their own thread to discuss what they wanted to discuss and decided it would be easier to hijack mine instead.
So... if you know of a place (such as a shop) where the HD2 is available for demonstrations, accessible to members of the general public, please post here.

You have to admit that the original title was hopefully misleading, and the derailed topic was also a much more interesting one for most people.
The new (original) one is also a bit strange - which country are you interested in? Would you care if the place were in Moscow? Would I care if it were where you live? Maybe you'd want to make the thread title a bit more specific to avoid reading stuff you don't really need?
Cheers!

The content of the initial post made the intent very clear. I wouldn't have minded a certain amount of digression in the direction of testers' experiences, but it's annoying to have the thread's entire function subverted in favour of that.
So quit trying to hijack this one as well, please.

Personally I'm interested in places in London, England; but I imagine other people reading this thread will be interested in demos in other places, and I see no reason why they shouldn't be catered for too; that was certainly my original intention.
Yes, please remember that XDA is a global resource.
Please post the city and country in any replies.
I suggest a format something like:
Australia, Sydney, Parramatta, <Shop Name & address if relevent>
Right, come on everybody, I want to get a demo of an HD2 and find out whether or not I can type on its keyboard! I've never been able to type with any accuracy on a touch-screen phone keyboard so far, but there's got to be a first time!
So, where in London can I get a working demo?
I Never Knew I Needed One - Tottenham Court Road - Open 'til 9pm tonight.
I've bought from them many times in the past...
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/
I pre-ordered mine from there (Inkino) and they called me this afternoon to say the stock should arrive about now (@6.30ish)
When I ordered it the price was £499.95. I have just had another look on their site and the price has changed to £534.95....
Well, I was in Inkino (which is actually on Great Russell Street, not Tottenham Court Road) at around 6.30pm but their delivery guy was stuck in traffic and I had to head home before he got there. Hmph.
I'll maybe head back in a couple of days.
I had a quick play with the dummy version; provisional conclusion is that it's much too thin - makes it impossible to hold it comfortably, especially one-handed, and the narrow bezel makes things worse - you can't grip it without your fingers touching the edges of the screen. Assuming the dummy was an authentic weight (which the guy in the shop said it was) it feels noticeably lighter than my TP2, especially in the pocket - it's not just less weight, but it's so much larger that the weight is spread over a much wider area.
Went back to Inkino today (the Great Russell Street branch). They do now have an HD2 available for demonstrations. On the whole I found it impressive - fast, and the screen is very nice. The thing I was mostly interested in was whether or not I could type accurately on the touch-screen keyboard. I found I couldn't - pressing the backspace key, for example, resulted in a flurry of key-presses being detected not only of the backspace key but of all the keys around it in all directions. I mentioned this to the guy in the shop (who, incidentally, was very helpful and not at all pushy - I recommend that place!) and he said the reason why they'd put one aside for demos is that they'd been unable to align the screen on it properly, and that consequently other HD2's probably wouldn't suffer from the same problem; but that largely invalidated the demo from my perspective.
Okay, so this whole thread is meant to be for the dislikes of the N1, any problem you guys have with it, post it here.
I've looked at some threads already posted here and apparently everybody loves the N1, but I know there are people out there that has a problem or two with it.
I hope this thread will be able to help people interested in buying the N1 know what are some of the negatives they will be getting if they buy the phone.
I dislike Engadget & BGR dishing this phone
Dude, there's already a N1 Issues List thread...
Why do so many people think they are somehow special enough to warrant their own thread about something that's already being discussed?
The softkeys. What I would give for hardware keys.
The softkeys:
1) Do not work when I try to use them. Hard to hit them just right on the upper half.
2) Consistently go off when I don't intend to hit them
3) Extend the screen so far and wide on the phone that I'm almost always in contact with it, resulting in taps and swipes that don't work on the main part of the phone screen.
So annoying. Makes me want an HTC Bravo or HD2
Hey forum folks, I'm selling my HD2
]
Sadly, I dropped my HD2 and the screen went *smash!* although, it all still worked. Anyway, this blighted me so I tried to replace the screen with a brand new digitizer/screen replacement combo but I have failed. Despite very carefully taking it all apart and putting it all back together (as per the HTC guides on youtube) I've failed to do a good enough job and the screen now believes I am pressing it when I am not. Anyway, I believe this can be fixed but I don't have the know how or the funds to do it as I am going travelling in a fortnight.
I have therefore taken the v.diff decision to flog my phone so that someone can fix it or use it for spares. As far as I can tell everything is working except for the volume buttons. I think the problem with the volume buttons is that the orange sticker thing might have fallen off and I don't know where to get these replaced?
Anyway, the screen is BRAND NEW; as is the digitizer. The GPS module, battery and camera all work fine so it's an ace little phone that could be easily stripped for spares. I'm giving you guys the chance to get in on the bidding and if you've got any questions I'll answer them right here! So get bidding - oh and the auction opens at 0.99p!!!
I should also add that I don't think this contravenes the forum rules but if it does I beg and plead and grovel in a very humble manner - I only mention it because I know how important these rules are and I know how upset the moderators get with idiots and I am scared I may have stumbled into that category with this posting.
I think you're ok, just post this in the Marketplace next time, maybe a mod can move it for you.
Hi Guys and Gals,
Sorry to bother you all, but just wanted to say that I have been forced to relist my old HD2 after the last auction was won by a massive timewaster who didn't pay up and who wouldn't respond to questions as to the delay.
Anyway, I've relisted the device on e-bay, and you can find it at e-bay.co.uk and the item is ******. I hope that this time someone who actually wants it might win!
Cheers
We have a Marketplace for selling things. And we don't alllow ebay links, as per the forum RULES.
Today, i write these tips to help people who are no ideas in dealing with the matter of i9000 digitizer lost sensitivity. Now i just list some ways according to my cell phone repair experience.
I f you guys faced with this problem, you can do as what i said here:
First of all, you should check if there has a protector on your phone screen. If so, please tear off the protector, and you can touch you digitizer to check, if the phone has sensitivity, it means the protector has a bad effect on i9000 digitizer.
Secondly, check whether the contact has drifting problem or not. You can click one icon in phone display, if no sensitivity, but the other screen places where surround this icon have sensitivity, it means your phone contact faces with the drifting problem, and you should recalibrate the i9000 digitizer screen.
Thirdly, If the digitizer were broken. You can replace it by yourself just according to the i9000 take apart videos on youtube or a proffessional guidance site, it can save a lot of money if you do it.
Finally, the worst way is send you phone to cell phone hospital. I do not agree with you guys do so, because many repair shop just ask the very expensive price to fix the borken phone, and indeed, we can replace our broken phone parts easily.

But you can't blame Google Translate for posting in wrong forum thread??

i didn't use google translate, i think you just play joke with my poor English, i don't know why you say so.
i wrote these tips just aims to help people, no other purpose.
My humble apologies for mistake about translation.
Wrong forum is still wrong forum.
This forum is i9000.
Really very sorry for my mistake on wrong phone model, so i had modified it.
Apology for my mistake. and i will try my best to offer fans helpful information in this forum.

You aren't paying us, we help when we feel like it.
Turn off the phone, hold the volume down rocker and boot the phone, what shows up?
P.S: You broke two rules of xda (if not more):
1- Your title is not descriptive at all.
2- You did not search before posting.
Next time, be more careful please
I agree with Marv here. The title is demanding and uninformative and not having read the rules is a ludicrous justification for breaking them. I don't see how him informing you that you've broken rules is in any way wrong and maybe he put it a bit bluntly but its ultimately all correct. Just adding on that swearing is also not allowed on XDA since its an unrestricted forum.
As for your actual issue, have you checked that the battery pins aren't bent and the battery is actually making contact with the pins when you put it in?
