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.

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.

Hi,
my XDA Exec has got a dead screen - took the phone apart and found that the LCD coaxial has snaped.
Now i'm looking for XDA Exec spares - coaxial cable.
Where can I get such spare parts? Should I ask it from the HTC?
Thanks!
Told you this via eBay but you obviously didn't believe me eh?...
"You won't get one of those as a spare part other than from a broken handset unless you send your device directly to an authorised service centre for repair.
If you have opened your hinge too far and trapped the wires cutting them, it is possible to work out how to reconnect the broken wires in the hinge as I have previously done it myself."
Richard
Thanks for helping out!
The cable is fully snaped (twisted), because the screen has been rotated too much - all the wires are cut!
Is it really posible to connect all those tiny wires? How?
thanks again!

I wrote an answer detailing step by step how to do it with wiring diagram then realised it was you who outbid me for it on ebay so you're on your own. Sorry. Why should I help my competition? :twisted:
Good Luck!
Richard
come on - this is ridiculous - I'm no competitor to you, I even don't make money with this.
I would never refuse to share my experience with people here, because we all have got something to share and we all sometimes need an advise!!
I'm not even form Uk... please give some advise if you can!
Thanks!

But you're buying MANY SPV / XDA faulty items from the UK site - if you're not making money then you're not very good at this eh?
You outbid me = you ARE my competitor.
You are buying faulty items and then asking for help to fix them to resell. No-one person could use all the devices you have bought recently, and you have to beg for help with basic repairs or fault finding for stuff that has not only been covered many times on this and other internet sites, but is also in some cases obvious.
I'll gladly help users with the odd problem or amateurs having a go at repairing friends / collegues devices etc etc but someone wanting my help with faulty devices they have bought has no chance.
I would rather help people who have problems with their existing devices. I do share my experiences, I have written many guides and how to's as well as answering questions, but when the question is from someone who is using my knowledge to profit in direct competition to me, hell yeah I'll keep it to myself.
You are not being honest. You say 'my XDA exec' when you received it in the post faulty 2 or 3 days ago at most.
My knowledge is from experience, I have experimented on many devices over the years breaking some of them in the process.
As for 'we all need advise' - feel free to check my posts here and on the other forums - I've NEVER asked for advice other than what colour phone to buy and even then I was joking....
What knowledge have you shared then? Today I wrote a stripdown manual for the new HTC StrTrk - it's on the internet
You are not the first with this problem, I have mentioned it several times, and if you would actually do a search rather than thinking you are so special and your issue so unique that your question demands a thread of it's own, you my find more info....
Richard
Good
Why such a hate!!!?
I'm not a liar - I have bought few phones and I'm looking only for cheap options such as buying faulty and trying to fix them - I now have sold all my phones - XV6600 can't be used in Europe, sold the old XDA 2i, bought a C500 as a present for my brother, still using the qtek 8020 and now just got the Exec...
you see - I'm not rich nor the people in my country - i can't afford to buy expensive phones in shops.
Ofcourse I'm a total beginer in this field and most of the time don't know what I'm doing, but still I have managed to find few solutions that nobody else had mentioned before - for example - you told me to get a new touchscreen for my XDA 2i due to screen align problem - but I found the old one to be good - i just made few experiments and I posted all the process in the forum...
And don't tell me you haven't asked for advice - look at your earlier posts year ago on modaco!!!
I don't know why are you so angry and full with hate - calling me competitor...
I was just considering to buy new housings for myself, for my brother and maybe in the future i would have bought some more parts from you if something would go wrong with my phones... but now - with such an attitude from you... I'm starting to reconsider it!!
Thanks for all the advices!!

They were never of the begging kind such as your questions like 'how do I do this' or 'can anyone please tell me' , they are always ' I have done this, here are pictures, how can I do it better?'
I explained my question thouroughly and then illustrated any answer I then came up with.

Moderators, why the sticky thread disappear? The problem isn't solved, I know people having 64x with the problem .... also take a look here http://www.solopalmari.com/smf/index.php/topic,11129.msg49739.html#msg49739 is in italian but icons speaks and disallineamento means misalignment and 642 is 642 in any language ...
The sticky was useful to have a pulse of the problem, I know, may be isn't loved from HTC but what they love or not isn't our problem I believe!

Obviously I do not speak for the Moderators, but I think as a stick thread it had really served its purpose. We gained a good knowledge of how extensive the problem is and that you either have it or not and you either try the physical solutions or send it back.
Of course if there is anything new to add the thread is still available
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277861&highlight=alignment
and by adding to it, it goes top of the list. I suppose, for many of us it's just a boring topic now and the solutions (good or bad) are well known.
Personally I would not object if it returned to being sticky but will it really benefit us?
I guess others will post their views.

It has been sticky for two months (23 sept to 23 nov). If you or someone adds a comment to it it will be bumped to the top again, but I believe the problem has been discussed widely enough and doesn't need to be sticky anymore.
There is also a wiki page about the SA issue:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=How to fix the Screen Aligment issue
I know, it has been up for long time but SA is STILL unresolved!
I discover isn't sticky anymore because I would like to add the 640xxx problems!
The wiki state no Hermes Screen Alignment (SA) problems since 638... Also all new users (and many old) avoid scrolling down for more than 1-2 pages and the Device forum IMO is something useful for both, new and old user.
The SA thread is useful for new users, to find solutions, to avoid "risky" conditions, some pants and some pockets (HERMES isn't a truly POCKET device, it stops working if you keep it inside a pocket )to the company to develop a FIX and not a PATCH like they have done until now.
The old userse can add knowledge, having all knowledge together in the same thread
Thanks to SA we learned about Hermes Hardware, HTC service, HTC national service problems and SA thread is the most viewed hermes thread.
IMO un-stick it when the problem is solved, a couple of months, not only a week later.
I'll be monitoring it and re-stick it if I see there's activity.

Didn't meant that... but the SA issue has been widely discussed, and there's nothing new to be added.
- New Hermes owners buy new devices that don't have the issue. They don't care about S.A.
- Old Hermes owners have already read all the possible solutions about S.A. and probably taken action if they had S.A. on their device. They have solved the issue in one or other way (replacement, fix, etc...) So they don't care anymore about S.A.
- If someone has S.A. now, the thread is still here, the info is on the wiki and he can ask about it, but the thread doesn't need to be sticky for this.
- We all know HTC support is crap, otherwise we'll not be here trying to fix our issues, we don't need an sticky thread just for that
This is my point of view. Two months sticky was enough. If you feel the thread must be sticky again is just a matter of 2 clicks, i don't really care about it....
Anyone else wants the thread to be sticky? Any reason for it?
uh oh, even the new ones are having issues?! Doh! I'm awaiting a brand new one (twill be my 3rd TyTn)!
If this one plays up again, i'm getting a different handset! Its good, but i cant cope with hardly seeing it, as its in repairs all the time!
Now that i brought many of you since you thought it exists that was my question. I really want to but roms and games on my ppc but im sorta afraid of over pushing the buttons and eventually wearing them down significantly.
Has any ever tryed this before? Or know where these may be sold?
what a waste of space....
Austinsync - is it really necessary for you to be a prick all the time?
If you have nothing useful to say, ignore the thread and keep your short-tempered, obnoxious opinions to your self - I am sick of reading posts by you that are either unhelpful or downright vitriolic. It's unnecessary and does nothing to improve the either the quality of poeple's posts or make them read anything.
And to answer the OP's question, there is a bluetooth games controller - never tried it with a hermes and would be interested to hear from someone who has.
Have a look here
Cheers,
Smiffy.
here here lordsmiff ......
n00b bashin is not a sport.
as Said above if you don't like the thread don't post !
yea its called a flamer, people like this on a gaming forum i am a member of are banned and locked. i wish that would have to assholes here also.
thank you for the bluetooth controller link, ill for sure check it out.
I agree with some of the posters here that Austinsync's comment is un-called for. I know you do not tolerate some kinds of questions well Austinsync, but this particular Hermes board has remained fairly flaming/sarcasm free (by comparison to the upgading board for example).
So
Do not reply to a post if you cannot do one of the following:
Reply with the knowledge you undoubtedly have
Reply with guidance on how to use the forum if it's a new poster
Report the the post if you think it is "unworthy" of the forum
Obnoxious, rude, overly sarcastic comments and flaming will be met with a ban in future (of varying length) for any user who ignores this guidance and site rules.

I agree. This whole XDA Dev forum is being spoilt by lack of tolerance by some . All of us were new at this once and although there may well be some real offenders (who fail to take even basic advice from the stickies) I think we should leave it to the moderators to 'address' these people.
Mike (Channon) is there no way of you moderators classifying each post so that the 'less helpful ones' are normally not shown when main stream browsers view the posts? This may be a Forum capability that the server software lacks but it would be very useful especially in some of the rather long posts where getting to the detail can take so very long because of poor posts by some.
A filter to take out the 'less than helpful' would be really good - if used carefully.
Good luck....

Hi Tony
There is no automatic facility for this. There can be filters for certain words but they don't work very well and posters can avoid them by deliberate mis-spellings etc. The odd swear word may be ok in the eyes of some provided it is not used as a means to abuse fellow members.
As far as avoiding the general membership seeing useless or abusive posts goes, there is no immediate way of doing this. Only when a Mod or Admin spots something or it is reported does it get moderated. The prevailing feeling in Mod/Admin circles is to try to hit a balance of freedom of expression against perfect manners and etiquette. So, of course, we will never keep everyone happy or even most members happy. Both those that hate noob posts and those that like gentle politeness will not be satisfied as we hover around the middle between the two extremes. Despite this, I feel it is the correct approach. So as above when we get a post that falls the wrong side of the line, I tend to leave it for all to see but also post the condemnation of it as well. Other moderators may delete the post. This can cause problems as the following posts from members can tend look odd as they appear to be replying to something that no longer exists. (I may obscure flagrant swearing however).
On the whole this particular Hermes board has been friendly. Bigger problems come in upgrading when you have the inevitable conflict between Noobs trying to upgrade and Gurus trying to develop ROMs- the clash of the Tytns as I like to think of it The true Gurus tend to keep out of this as they are the ones that originally made it possible to cook the ROMs and their task was over a long time ago. They are waiting to get their teeth into newly released devices and kick off another round of development. The cycle will always end though, at the stage where Noobs conflict with ROM Gurus - and that is where we are at now, made worse of course by the doubling in members on-line at any one time since last year.

This is a pretty nice place overall. Nicely run, too.
Anyway, the bluetooth controller listed above looks pretty darn cool. Too bad it's so expensive.
Is there any way to get a normal usb controller, coupled with a usb adaptor to run on the hermes? I mean... i have NO idea about how drivers work on the hermes... So this whole idea could be rediculous... but if it gets the gears in the head spinning... why not?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that would require USB-host functionality, which HTC has been studiously ignoring for quite a while now.

I've ordered one to try so ill drop back and let you know how it goes (if it does).. but it may take a few days/weeks to arrive as its shipping form Australia to the UK. I only found very few places selling them and the Aus one worked out cheaper than one that looked to be in the UK (but wasnt very clear at all)
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.
So Heres The Story: My brother had the htc hd2 and he rooted it and such and such and he gave it to this girl and she was having problems such as drop calls that's it and she gave it back cause he agreed to fix it but she got a new phone so he gave it to me and now I face a problem where the phone won't boot up only a black screen is it bricked? also he says that I need to install something he said its fine and he won't help me so that's Wjy I'm Here Please Help Me ASAP :crying:
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?
