screen type

hello, does any body know if there is a way of telling what type of lcd screen the xda2 and xda2i have without opening the phone? i have purchased a phone with a good screen bad broken connector but the screen connector is different to the two broken xda2 xda2i that i already have. i am thinking of trying to find a xda2 with a broken screen but i need the one with the ribbon type connector not the plug in type. does any body know? or does any body have a xda2 with the ribbon type connector that has a broken screen they want to sell me? all i need is the board nothing else, someone may have one lying around as i have two boards but of the plug in type connector.
thanks very much

XDA II , XDA IIi screens
Hi the XDA II uses a Sony LCD Module P/N ACX502AKN-7. this is hard to find right now. I do not know of any availible
The XDA IIi and MDA IIi use a TD part. I have these in stock.
BTW: watch out for Chinese resellers from SHENZHEN China via hotmail accounts. They mostly scams, require payment to a Hong Kong personal accounts, and there is no recourse, warrantee, or reputation.

Repair / Replacement help

I have an xda exec, which i have had for over a year now and i have been very happy with it... until a couple of weeks ago the mini usb port detached itself from the mainboard :-( Ive read about it happening before on here... but i have no warranty now so im looking for anyone who can help. The mini USB port is also now damaged. I looked at re-soldering it back on but im not good enough to do that... I guess ideally im after another universal with a broken screen or something so as i can make one good one from 2 bad... and then save up a little more towards an athena...
Pocketpctechs will repaire it for $60(including parts &larbor)

Thanks for the link - really useful... im contacting them to see if they can supply a replacement mainboard to the UK as that is where im based, if not i can look at posting it over i guess... Many Thanks - Dave
i brought a stand alone charger that you pop your battery in! pain in the ass but if you have two batterys its all good then use bluetooth to sync and install your apps and files im in the UK too
Yeah, thats exactly what i have done in the short term... but after upgrading my old XDA IIs yesterday to Windows Mobile 6 i fancy seeing what sort of improvements are available for my Universal.
On a side question can you sync over wifi?
you used to be able to but there was security concerns so they removed it from activesync if you have an old copy of active syncc then yes...

USB Device not recognized

I just bought used Hima through, because I broke LCD screen on mine. And I got it with some old German ROM on it, it's working fine, but I would like something newer and in English. The thing is, that when I put phone in USB craddle, it only charges the device and says that USB Device Not Recognized. I cannot upgrade ROM nor anything else, just charge it. On my previous broken Hima, I had no such problem... Does anyone has clue what is wrong and what is the solution?
Thank you in advance...
I just found out that when I want to sync, I can do it, but have to pull cell phone toward me while it's in craddle. But doesn't work when I want to flash ROM. So I guess it's pins problem. I looked them and don't see anything bad, anyone has clue what to do?
OK, I finally managed to install ROM, I had to stick something to push forward my Hima in cradle. Does anyone know what can I do to fix that problem? It's the pins connection problem...
first of all..i don't understand why you started a new topic on this problem because THERE IS ANOTHER TOPIC WITH THIS PROBLEM JUST 3 LINES DOWN AFTER YOUR TOPIC...if you had read but didn't......about the conectivity problem with the pins cradle usb cable and advanced functionality of the usb-pc function..and thath it works just for the charge and for standard conectivity is says device mailfunction...
Because I had german windows 2003 that had no advanced functionality of the usb-pc connection! And also I didn't see too many similarities with those posts which aren't three lines down after my topic.
I changed 2 craddles and also had same problems. But I managed to access PPC when I gave some pressure on cell phone while in cradle...
I have another broken Hima (LCD screen broken), and wondered if I could take his connector?!

Technichally innovative Idea to have Wifi on GENE - Need support from Experts!

hi people!
I am using Gene since last one year and one thing I miss a lot with this phone is the WIFI.... I see registry entries for WIFI but no UI for Settings.
I got 2 thoughts about it:
1. The WIFI hardware is present but the device driver is not installed: so if this is the case, can i get the device driver on internet ?
2. Before GENE i used IMATE KJam. and its dumped and not working now. i was thinking if it is at all possible to de-solder the WIFI devide from IMATE KJAM and solder it on GENE motherboard. If that is possible, can I have the steps with snapshots plssssssssss.
Think people, i have a feeling that this is possible! coz I saw that nothing is impossible for you guys on this forum! so lets make this possible!

About soldering stuff i dont know and i wont recommend, unless you have some spare money for another phone.
About Wifi hardware: No the hardware is not there. the registry entries represent the Windows Mobile's internal support for Wifi. You can get wifi using an external SDIO card. These cards come with their own drivers in form of cab files and these drivers automatically provide the required UI. For example, in my case, drivers of the card i use add a new tab in Network Adapters applet in settings.
@krazy_about_technology
Since u said u r using the card....could you tell me some details like manufacturer and price !! I jus can't seem to find the card anywhere...

Hi Any luck with this?
Working!!!
I am still working on this budddy
I don't think it is possible to remove the wifi part of another phone and solder it to GENE motherboard, or to that matter to any other phone.
This will require the redesigning of the motherboard.

+1 for that. I also don't think thats possible, unless the gene Mobo has some future upgrade options. But looking at Mobile Cos, I sincerely doubt that they have ever heard of upgradability
hi I happened to read your post .. the card is called Spectec sdw 821..availaible on amazon for 40 usd
1 simple solution is replace the mobile with sm wifi enabled phone!! dat wont screw ur gene too!!
