Cingular 8525 DEAD- 1/29/07 to 2/20/07 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

WSOD.
It happened a couple of times yesterday...screen went white. Then today it just went. Won't come back. No matter what I do. So I'm callin Cingy.
It's a sad day people.
If you are getting the WSOD...take care of it before your HTC device goes to the ever after.

what finally did it? you know what you did to make it start WSODin?

I don't know. It has happened about 3 times since I got it. Then yesterday it did it like twice. Then today it did it once earlier and the second time it just did'n't come back.
It hasn't been dropped or dunked. I even had someone take pictures and send it to my phone but I can't get to the photo. I had just done a hard reset and it was booting up and the screen was white with streaks of colour. Then when I used the stylus it went all white and stayed white.
I've taken the battery out, put it back in, taken it out put it back in....
Clearly there is an issue with the LCD. I'm not happy cuz I didn't want one of their refubared warranty exchanges.

sorry to hear it dude
my 8525s dead too, from early january til about 2 weeks ago
LCD problem too, but mines a little more serious and it wont b covered by warranty via Cingular =(

Nope, mine ain't broke. IT is for sure a major issue with the lcd. What's funny is when it does come up about 3mm of the graphics from the bottom show @ the top.
Watching the not so slow demise was pretty fun. Being without a phone for a day is not. I gotta dig up my 8125.
Hey I just noticed you have a camera hole on yours. How'd you swin that. PM me with the jdetails....Ms. X

Useless thread...see ya!
too bad it didn't work out for you. but we're happy here so maybe it's not your destiny to enjoy this awesome phone
?????
Maaaaan BS i bricked this phone so many times and put it back to normal FACTORY settings and it still runs silky smooth, and it's the same US T-Mobile HTC HD2
Still on my first HD2, which is running fine, and just the way I like it.
I don't think it's 'dead' at all. Someone come and sat next to me with the new iPhone yesterday, trying to show off. I got mine out (phone lol) and felt instantly better equipped than he did, with his little screen and locked down software.

Power Button Crack and Vol. Button Crack - Both over night!

Hmmm, so last night, I left my phone sitting on my desk in perfect condition, got up this morning, put it in my over-coat pocket and went to school. When I got home to use it, there was the famous power button crack, which I know wasn't there yesterday because I cleaned my whole phone really well (eww, germs), and then I found the much worse crack by the volume button. I never even took my over-coat off today, and my phone has never been dropped. ;( What POS.
Do you think the hardware warranty will cover this? I'm sure my AMEX card warranty will, but I'll have to wait until June of next year before I can use it.
I'm worried that the piece by the vol. button is going to snap off randomly. It also seems like the plastic just does this at random, from my personal experience, and others have said the same thing.
Here are some photos, if you haven't seen the vol. button crack before...

Sorry about your misfortune my friend. Seems that the otterbox cases have taken to long to come out for some...
Damn, just saw your headline and looked down at my phone to find that I have a crack as well at the same place by the volume button. It's not coming off, but thats not to say that it won't in the future.
Unfortunately a few weeks ago I dropped my phone, and there's a scuff mark on the top. I'm sure if the crack worsens that they'll claim it was from abuse and won't cover it.
Got the two same cracks. I am not too worried about it.
I'm just worried about other cracks showing up randomly...I don't think this phone is built for more than a year of easy usage. I don't use a case, burt I'm not throwing my phone around it dropping it either.

I just got my phone replaced for the powerline crack
The sprint employees said they did it as a "courtesy" because it's not a known defect. When I told them it's all over the web, they said HTC has to issue it as a known problem.
"courtesy" my ass, I pay for TEP every month and I haven't even used it yet!
This its old news, lol, op should have serched, and yes I have this to, iv had them sense the phone came out, and no further damage has happend.

My wife dropped it from her lap while getting out of our SUV. It landed face down and looks like it hit the corner first. We have a connection at T-mo so it is getting replaced today, no worries there.
My question is what to do with the busted phone. The LCD is fine and it even accepts input just fine so the digitizer is good. I found several threads on replacing the glass but it seems more of a project than I want to take on. Should I try to get it repaired? Just sell it for parts?
Thank you for reading.

If you can get the phone fixed for less than a hundred you might as well have it done. You could keep it as a spare or sell it for 200 bucks...
That was my though. Any suggestions for getting it fixed in the Seattle area? Or is HTC support a good economical way to go?
You can buy any part you need on ebay, and i just sold my hd2 for 315... so it's def worth it.
I heard HTC is super expensive. Then again it's only hearsay. I say just fix it yourself. If you can't oh well it's a spare.
@cris, what are HD2's going for locally? My brother can't even get rid of a perfectly working HD2 for $200 here in deep south texas.

They are going anywhere from 200 to 250ish here in the nati on craigslist... People are selling them with Android on them which I think is a little sketchy since there are so many builds that aren't perfect. Seems like a lot to me too.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

It is really weird.
After a night with my friends at a bar, I remarked the second day that this had happened to my phone. I DO have a case, it did NOT fall and there's no screen protector on. Seems like it's an bubble under the screen! Also, there's no crack on the phone which is really weird.
PS: Being dark outside, I can'T even tell when this happened during the night.

that is strange, did you leave in the sun by any chance before hand? looks like a defected problem on the external surface of the phone are you still under warranty?
Device defect, take it back.
Yeah still under warranty and I didn't leave it under the sun except one time in July! It was in my car and it said phone cannot charge too hot or something like that! But this was a long time ago and I don't think it could be related!

Ah I know exactly what happened.. It's got a skin disease.
I just received this from them today. Don't know what it should mean. Covered by the waranty or not? They're not too clear about it. Anyone?

I would think it would be covered by the warranty, but what does it say about cosmetic stuff? I would make sure to tell them something else is wrong with it that's covered by warranty so you get a new one.
did you hear anything back about this?
I have the same problem and I took it to an AT&T store and the guy there said he had seen it multiple times. He also couldnt give me a new phone then and there.
What did you do to get it fixed/replaced?
I am still under warranty.
To be honest, I didn't try anything yet. Everything involved sending the phone and waiting which I didn't have time to do. Also, they didn't specify nothing about the cost. Everything was going to be determined there. So I'm just going to wait till my finals are over and I'll go directly to the service center and see there. My cell phone company couldn't exchange it for me neither.
PS can you post a pic of your screen? How did it happen in your case?

Service center in Montréal repaired it for free. Just in case someone else has this problem

Nexus10 Screen replacement

Hi Chaps
I'm from the U.K and my little 3 year old just dropped our nexus 10 and cracked its screen.
Google and Samsung are driving me mad, each claiming that its the other's responsibility to fix the screen.
I have decided to replace the screen myself.
Q1) Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement screen within the U.K at a sensible price?
Q2) Does anyone have a damaged nexus 10 (not screen damage) that they are willing to give away or sell?
Regards
Nas

Mine looks exactly the same as the one above. I've hunted high & low, online, to get this fixed. I've waited for the imaginary nexus 10 2 to come out, hoping that a digitizer would soon be available after that. Short of buying a new one, I have no idea how I'm going to get this sorted
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :good:

Hi, I'm from the Philippines, is it possible to have my Nexus' screen replaced by you? N10 is not commercially available in the Philippines so I couldn't get it serviced here by Samsung. Please do let me know if it's possible and how. Would really appreciate your response. Thank you so much.
