Atom touchscreen problems - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General

My Atom screen is broken! I try to look everywhere to get it fixed or replaced, but no solution. I've contacted www.pocketpctechs.com :evil: and they told me that they dont have any screen replacement on the Atom. Does any1 know where could i get my Atom fixed?

Contact O2. They will have an Authorised Service Centre somewhere near you.
Good luck,
Kevin

The thing is that I live in the US, they don't have any service center here. I don't think my Hong Kong warranty card will cover the touchscreen though . By the way, how to call to Hong Kong from the US? Thank you so much for the reply Kevin.

Buying XDA" from abroad Singapore

Can i get an XDA2 cheap from Far East (singapore) will it work in Uk on vodafone?
Anyone tried to do this?
If not what is the cheapest way to buy one for use on Vodafone?
Hi. XDA2 is a tri-band phone so it should work in UK. I live in SG and bought a new XDA2 just last weekend. If you want to know more about prices and where to buy etc let me know. Good Luck
I might be also interested in Singapore prices ....
please let me know
regards, monika
Warranty may be an issue if you buy it over here in Singapore. My XDA II warranty card specifies as warrantied only by O2 Asia. So if i were to go Australia, who also has an O2 service center, i believe i cannot do any warranty claiming on my unit unless its an international warranty.
my rough guess is ....
that vast majority of equipment these days has both local and international warranty, say IBM Netvista computers, IBM laptops ... etc etc
but I might be mistaken as in my country then sell XDA clone with no guarantee at all (sic !)
regards,
monika

Wizard Availability in Hong Kong

Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a Wizard when I go to Hong Kong this January.
--
I was wondering if the Wizard is available in stores already [i.e. like WAN CHAI COMP CENTER or FORTRESS]
--
I need a device in English [so the keyboard will be in QWERTY]
--
If it is not available in stores yet then maybe I'll order off Expansys HK and just claim it when I'm there...
--
Any HK peeps out here? Your input will be welcome and appreciated...
In hk, the dopod838(htc wizard) is your only choice.
you dont need to worry too much.
Eng and chi version are both available in market.
You can get one from any store.
Because most people target on Dopod818 pro and o2 Atom.
Anyway, the market place is around $6100 hk dollar.
Do u need any other information?
Maybe i can get you a hand.
Wow HKD 6100! At Expansys HK the Qtek 9100 is listed at HKD 5580 that is around HKD 520 difference.
Would you happen to know where the cheapest English dopod 838 is being sold? TIA

well if the hk local warranty is not a concern, i'll suggest u get 9100 or kjam instead. ( for me they came with much better outlook than dopod )

HK warranty is not really an issue for me. My main concern would be ROM updates I've been to the dopod website and it's all in Chinese, it leaves me wondering how frequent the English OS devices will get their updates.

since dopod is focus on chinese market, do u think it's better to just get qtek or imate ?
yeah. that and the fact that the qtek would be HKD 500 cheaper is really a plus factor
Just placed my order at expansys hk and they did not accept my credit card [maybe because I am from Manila, Philippines] anyway I would like to ask our Hong Kong brothers and sisters... is the Qtek 9100 available in retail outlets? i.e. Fortress or Wan Chai computer center etc? I do not like the dopod 838's look... has anyone spotted a Qtek 9100 in retail stores? Please reply asap so I know if I will get from expansys hk or just buy in a store. Thanks in advance. I will be in hong kong on January 1 thru 6 so any replies before this days will be appreciated! Also store info would be really helpful

bad news for you, there are no retail shop in HK are selling either 9100 or kjam. Btw, why don't send an email to Expansys and ask why they are not accepting your credit card ? ( they seems accept cheque or maybe bank transfer ? )
cheers :lol:
thanks for the info! so only the dopod 838 is available in HK retail stores then this is really sad news for me. i've been trying to call them the whole afternoon their line is busy anyway the reason they don't accept credit card from the Philippines is because there is widespread credit card fraud here. This was also my problem last year when I got my imate JAM from expansys hk I asked a friend to deposit for me, before they shipped my order, i thought since i was a returning customer they would accept my card but this is not the case apparently. i asked if i could deposit the money on january 2 and get my order on jan 3 but they have not replied yet. they are a bit slow aren't they!
Not always the best place to buy from but Ebay!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/I-Mate-K-Jam-...ryZ38331QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
425.00 GBP = 5,662.81 HKD
And i know this one is 2nd hand. but always an option
Hi!
@bnycastro: My post has not to do with your problem at all. Did you have the chance to take a look at the dopod 838 "live"? I promise it looks much better than on any picture. I know this since vodafone is selling exactly the same unit here. I found the pictures awful. But as soon as I had my unit in hands I fell in love... So give it a try...
Greetings from Germany

kjam availability
i am from the philippines too. i was able to buy a second hand kjam from greenhills... you should try looking around in that area... you might just find what you are looking for. good luck
how much did you get your unit for? I was hoping to get a brand new one and figured it might be cheaper in hkg. if i'm not to get a cheap one in hk i will probably get from gh as well... may i ask where you bought it? not in the 'tiangge' [bazaar] i hope?

Yep, friend of mine recently bought Dopod 838 Eng, ~$5800HKD. Interestingly they had to open THREE 838's before it worked. the first two failed to boot up.
Make sure you try before you buy!

They already baked Chinese ROM but you can change it to English ROM

Where?Cheap hermes in hong kong

Hi friends..A friend of mine is going to hong kong. Can you tell me where i can get cheap or even second hand hermes there?I want to buy one.He could buy one for me there..Thanks for your help
Can someone help me?I am willing to pay up to 3250 hong kong dollars.
Cingular sells refurbished 8525's .. 199 bucks.
Is it in hong kong? But cingular is based only in u.s.Isn't it? The friend is going only to hong kong
around $3100-3300 HKD at mongkok to have a Softbank X01HT(HERM200)
wan chai would would be a good place to go too....sham shui po would also be a nice place.. shop 188 would be another place too..
So buy one from Cingular and just Unlock it..
Will the softbank x01 ht already be unlocked or do i have to unlock it? How much to unlock? And where to unlock?
unlocking is free with programs from here..
He'd need an AT&T/Cingular account to buy an 8525 direct.

you can buy softbank x01ht at "sincere podium" in mong kok. it's a place famous for selling mobile phones at cheap prices. it's within 5 minute's walk from mong kok mtr station.
the price for an unlocked unit is about HK$3,180. If you can unlock it yourself, the price can be cheaper (about HK$2,800).
details here: http://www.topwebdesignltd.com/shopping/plaza-1/kmksin.htm
hope this helps
Why is it so cheap?Is it because the products are fake?I hope i will not be getting any problem when the friend returns back..I think i'll take the unlocked unit. Any other suggestions? Are there any risk of developing the screen alignment problem?
Does anyone know where to buy unlocked Softbank x01ht in Tokyo? How much?
Currently, I’m in Tokyo for several days. I plan to give this Softbank for my girlfriend. Thanks you in advance.
Hi friends.The friend postponed his trip to next month..So, can anybody tel me where i can get the imate or htc version of the hermes cheaply in hong kong?(less or equal to 3250 hong kong dollars). The friend told me that i may end up loosing my money if the softbank breaks. Imate or htc may cover me through warranty.. Cheers!
Can someone tell me?

Even as a Hong Kong people I hesitate to suggest ppl to get one in HK now.
Bad shop sells even lower than $3,200, but there's problem like IMEI not matching, ROM v1.14 issue (You could see a lot of those post around).
If you think it is okay, go to those shop within Computer Arcade - it charges around $3,300 - $3,400, but not like those shark shops.
I forgot to mention that i need an unlocked version. Is there a probability that it will relock itself when my friend returns back?
Any reply?

Service for international variant in the US?

Hi all,
I cracked my screen and need to replace it, however Samsung US doesn't want to do it and told me to contact Samsung from the country of origin for repair. I have an Iraqi variant but can't get Samsung Iraq on the phone. I contacted local repair shops and was quoted $399 for a screen replacement but without guaranty that the phone will still be waterproof.
Has any one successfully had their GS7E serviced in the US and if so, how?
Thanks!
