Just received my replacement nexus and I'm pleased to report no dead pixels, no image pretension and at the moment no screen lift! I'm from the UK and both units (8GB) shipped from a company called `Computer2000'and both units had been very carefully re-sealed with custom made black stickers over the top of the originals that have been cut. The serial number stickers have also been very accurately re applied, but you can still faintly see the original underneath. Just wondering if anyone Noticed this on there nexus? Is it secondary QC or maybe just to put a UK plug adaptor in? Cheers

as anyone got a damaged M1000 with good screen , I know there are two types of screen fitted ,mine is the one with the small plug ,NOT plain ribbon, can get new unit from china for around £75.00 but thought someone may have a damaged unit with good screen contact [email protected]
Does anyone know where i can get a hold of one? My earpiece died so i took my device apart and noticed the cable is damaged. It got caught on something from opening and closing the keyboard.
It is not clear, what hv u damaged..in either case of strip connector broken, u hv to change mother board...no other option..
The EXACT same thing happened to me on a 9100. Earpiece died. Took it apart and saw that the ribbon cable snagged on something and tore. I was hoping I could just find a replacement cable, but havent tried looking anywhere yet though.
I think 888-482-8725 is htc's parts line. I got a replacement battery cover for an 8125 from them. Or you could try calling t-mobile and see who they patch you through for htc service and try to buy one from them.
hdubli, thats not an image of the damaged part, i didn't take a picture of my broken one. That is the picture from the disassembly manual. And no the mother board doesn't need to be replaced.
guttrhead, did yours get snagged on the small plastic rectangle thats supposed to cause less friction(its glued to a rectangular felt) as you slide your device open? Anyway i emailed pocket pc techs over the weekend and they replied with their phone number and told me to call and speak to a technician. Which i did and i got a hold of one and he notified me that they don't carry that part and he doesn't know where to get it from. Tomorrow i'll give the number you posted a call as well as head over to mda and ask them what they do with damaged MDA's.
I don't know what it snagged on. I didn't take it apart entirely, just enough to see what was wrong. I'll see if I can get a picture of it up sometime later today.
so no one knows where to get parts for the wizard?
i've called ppc techs, htc usa, and Top Solutions in miami. NOTHING....
I just posted it for sale on craigslist.org with a free BT headset because i can't use it anymore without the earpiece working if i don't find this part, it'll be on ebay at the end of the week... think i'll go for a Prophet after i sell it.
I forgot about this topic. I'm surprised that none of those places would sell the piece. The t-mobile one is the same and I know htc usa supports that. Maybe they just need a little convincing to sell the part.
Heres some pictures of what I was talking about. Crappy, cause I took them with another wizard. You can see that that ribbon cable is torn. I guess it was due to the little black rectangle thats underneath the cable. You can see it best in the bottom picture. The only thing I've noticed is that the main speaker doesn't work.
I do not speak english, but, my problem is equal, see photos below:

How to fix?
Yep, exact same thing that happened to me.
I fixed mine by purchasing a damaged wizard on ebay and swapping the parts out. I also noticed the damaged one i bought, which is a t-mobile mda, doesn't have that rectangular plastic piece. So there really is a difference between the Imate K-Jam and the MDA.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I no longer have the mainboard from the damaged MDA i bought off ebay so please don't PM me asking for it.
you maybe able to cut out the damaged bits and solder in some insulated wrapping wire, looks like thread but it is copper wire and most often blue insulation, then remove the offending black rectangle or try rerouting the cable a bit to stay outta the way...
bhang
ps
its worth a try or you could risk a handset exchange from tmob if yiou are a customer, they take your and referb it and send you somebody elses refurb, it can be a gamble...
hey,
There might be already another thread but, the only one i found was one about fake htc diamond not diamond 2.
So, My question how can you examine it before buying like, is the inside different, and outer shape? I have decided on buying one, but I'm scared of fakes "clones".
u can buy it from a trusted place
yeah the thing is i'm buying it used from a local person, and i want to know how to identify if its real before buying it.
btw-the dude is selling it to for $315 canadian

Most of the fakes do not have a 5mp camera.
Another thing I have noticed on the fakes: The zoombar either does not work, or controls volume, so if you can see the volume symbols instead of the magnifying glass with a + or -, then it is fake
I read someone's else thread and he was trying to update to offical windows mobile 6.5 and it wouldn't work, and then he realized his was a fake.
He says fake fake fake don't bother guys, i just realised that the phone I got is a fine fake after diamond 2.... sorry for the trouble and people who want to buy diamond2, be very carefull.... it looks identical, windows is the same etc

I guess it's really hard to tell, by the software if its fake
Genuine or Non-genuine: How to tell.
ABOUT THE BOX & ITS CONTENTS
The non-genuine packing box is approximately 1 centimeter thinner because it does not contain the User Manual. Presumably it is too expensive for the producers of counterfeit phones to produce the 232 page User Manual. (see below)
There must be a serial number sticker on the base of the box and a number of duplicate stickers within the box. These are generally omitted with counterfeit phones.
The box should but does usually not contain the following:-
The HTC Care pamphlet.
An individual Microsoft Windows 6 License number affixed to a small sheet of paper with instructions for synchronizing the phone.
The HTC multi-language Warranty Statement.
The HTC Smart Accessories Smart performance pamphlet.
Screen protector pack (2 sheets)
Spare stylus (1 or 3 pack).
Leather phone pocket or case.
Two FULL SIZED genuine HTC CDs.
A 232 page User Manual.
The Getting started booklet. For T5353 models this is normally written in English. I do not know about other models.
A genuine earphone/headset. On a genuine HTC headset, the moulding extends beyond the earplug in a short square spur. The non-genuine earphones moulding is rounded at the point where the housing joins the round earplug.
A genuine phone wall charger in two parts. The genuine charger is a long rectangular base unit designed to accept the smaller adapter supplied which has the appropriate pins for connection to the supply in the destination country. The non-genuine charger is usually a cheap one piece charger.
ON THE PHONE ITSELF:
Writing near the camera on back of the genuine phone is silver grey, but on the non-genuine phone is white.
The front camera of the non-genuine phone is set approximately 2mm lower and 1mm further to the right than on the genuine phone.
The letters hTC just to the left of the speaker is slightly larger on the non-genuine phone than on the genuine phone.
On the side of the phone to one side of the volume control are the words hTC INNOVATION. On the genuine phone these words appear in fine silver grey lettering. On the counterfeit phone the lettering is smaller and it is black.
On the top of the phone the symbol for the on/off switch is also much less clearly defined, the switch button is shorter on the counterfeit phone and as with the volume control button, it is glossy chrome rather than self coloured as on the genuine phone.
On the base of the phone, the counterfeit phone has a smaller USB symbol, a significantly larger “dot” and a larger and more blocky earphone symbol.
The symbols on control keys for the genuine phone are fine and clear. Those on the non-genuine phone are less well defined and slightly more blocky.
The "Home" symbol, below the end key is considerably more blocky and less well defined on the counterfeit phone.
The tail on the "+" sign for the image enlarger, immediately below the screen, points slightly more to the vertical on the counterfeit phone than it does on the genuine phone.
PERFORMANCE MATTERS THAT REQUIRE INITIALIZATION OF THE PHONE
Camera on the non-genuine phone is usually a low quality camera which does not take 5MP images.
The Photo Zoom area below the screen usually does not zoom images and often zooms the volume instead.
None of the phones I have tested could be hard reset.
The counterfeit phone generally cannot be upgraded to Windows 6.5 because (a) the serial number is not valid which prevents downloading of the required ROM flash from HTC and/or
(b) the phone cannot be flashed with the necessary updated ROM. This may be because the phone cannot be hard reset, a requirement for the ROM flashing process, but even in the rare event that a hard reset is possible the upgrade usually fails for other reasons.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST.
Hi there,
im not sure if this is the right chapter for this, but i have a hardware issue.
I've bought an 8inch vw android radio from aliexpress. according to the mainboard it is an DU8015-m-1v5
The problem is in the display, when it's could outside (which is around 6 degrees centigrade or lower) the display turns to white where it should be nice and black. Once the temperature gets higher the display gets quite normal again.
Now i have had this issue since day 2 (after arrival when i built in the radio) and made reclamations to the seller, which told me they would send me a new display which would fix the problem. I asked them to send me a complete new headunit, but they wouldnt. this should be an easy fix.
Now afther whining and going on about it at the seller i have received the wrong display, the original has 2 flat cables and a power connector... the seller tells me to replace it anyway.
I guess this will brick my device immediately (or at least blow some fuses) ??
here's a link to all photos of both displays https://goo.gl/photos/vs1GHJKBnjtnf6Eq5
any technicians who can help me out and tell me if i'm right or wrong ??
Just got my new Essential phone in the White color today from Amazon.
Beautiful device!
The question and concern I have has to do with the packaging.
I found it odd that there were no stickers or peel strips keeping the box closed when I got it. In other words I just pulleed the box open without any security stickers to remove, cut or peel.
The phone seems to be in perfect condition but I do not want a phone which was perhaps returned or registered to someone else who returned it.
Is this packaging normal?

Essentials OEM box has a peel strip on the back of the box along the seam. You can't open the box without pulling this strip.
Thats what I kind of thought.
Sending back to Amazon and they are to send a new one. Will use this one until the new one arrives.
