Anyone in Sussex (UK) own a Touch HD please? Help! - Touch HD General

My HD has packed in. I think it could be a battery problem and I'd like to try a different battery to check. I don't want to send the HD off to HTC for a month if I can solve the problem myself more easily.
Carphone Warehouse don't have a single HD in stock in the country so they're no help. Is there anybody near me in Sussex with an HD who'd be prepared to meet up so I could quickly try their battery please? It'd take 2 mins to discover whether that brings my HD back to life.
I'm between Worthing and Horsham.
Thanks in advance.

Hehe Nah - There'll be no mugging going on. I'm not going to mug you and there'd be no benefit in mugging me, unless you want a broken phone

Could you not try an Orange shop?

That's a fall-back option but it'd a bit cheeky to turn up looking for help with a non-branded phone on an O2 contract. I've just left Orange in disgust after finishing my contract early so the less contact I have with them the better. We'll see.

If it doesn't power on, how're they going to know?
Plus, they've clearly messed you around, so I'd say they owed you

no logo on the back plate?

Perhaps I'm too honest.
Riceburner, are we meeting up tonight? Did you get my PM?
Typically, I've just tried turning the phone on and it's working again. (The last time it worked was Thursday.) The unpredictable nature of the problem is half the reason why I don't want to send it away to HTC without doing a bit of research myself. They'll look at it and wonder why it's been sent to them. It needs to be used for the problem to appear. :banghead:

UPDATE
Update
Thank you to riceburner, who agreed to let me come and stand like a mong in his kitchen and try his battery in my device. That short test revealed that the problem wasn't the battery but the HD itself.
I bit the bullet and phoned HTC support directly, who very easily and professionally agreed to send UPS to collect my HD from my home the following day and investigate the problem.
It's just been returned to me about a week later, all fixed. The enclosed job sheet reveals a new main board was installed and sure enough the Wi-Fi MAC address has changed so it looks as though they're not kidding.
Thank you riceburner for your time, and a big thank you to HTC for the excellent way in which they've taken care of the problem for me. This was very good service indeed and exceeded my expectations.
No thanks to the original source of my phone, mobiles.co.uk, who referred me to Carphone Warehouse who didn't have any HDs in stock and therefore couldn't offer an exchange. But then you pays your money, you takes your chances...
I have my HD in my sweaty paws again and it's like having it for the first time again

Glad you got it sorted.

Car vs Trinity - Car wins

Yes, it's true. My precious was run over by a car last night. I left it on the roof of my car
It was pretty well destroyed but the battery, SIM, mem card and stylus are all still ok. The stylus and mem card were still in it after being run over twice! HAH.
Spilt milk - new phone time. I can't justify getting a black one because of the ongoing coating issue. They are still shipping junk. HTC recently replaced my bezel and the new one peeled within 2 weeks. Question: white Trinity or alternative? Can anyone suggest a better device? I don't need GPS, BT or Wifi. HSDPA is a must and I won't buy Eten.
Any info would be great to get me started on my search. Also, I am in Chicago for business but I have a couple of afternoons to kill. Does anyone stock phones there?
Get the white one!
It's still the best PDA-phone around (if no H/W keyboard needed)
Anyone have any stories where their trinity beats the car? Heard of a legend once of an unbreakable pre-production trinity where the dude ran it over and it still worked flawlessly. Anyway sorry to hear about your trinity guess it isn't the chosen one.

Why your'e not in the Paris Hilton blog instead of a savvy, polite and technically interesting forum as this one?
Never mind, I already know the answer... no signature, no references... closed thread.

Anyway Baxter, it's really a shame to hear about your phone. When you get back home you've got to take pictures and post them if you still have the phone and have not thrown it away yet. (Yes Looking Glass, that's what the picture was implying, to post pictures. Stop being such a negitive Nancy, a man just ran over his 500 dollar phone.)
Don't know about the trinity but I ran over my mio A701 (fell out of my pocket outside mates house and I didn't realize). Smashed the screen and put a few kinks in the casing but it still rang ( mates neighbour picked it up after I'd been ringing it for 10 mins or so). Replaced lcd and its working fine but will be changing to a trinity or a eten x800 end of July when contract expires.

Nice choice.
I'm using my Torq P120 (Eten M600) for now. Maybe they have improved the build quality but their customer service is non-existent. I posted my experience on Eten Users forum last year. People are contacting me to figure out how I was able to get service from them. Evidently just getting a response is difficult now.
I think it's time for a white Trinity. Anyone know what ROM is shipping now? When they service my black one, they shipped it back with the original ROM. Is there a particular brand to look for in the US? My last one was HTC branded.
Heh. Had some time to revive my trinity. It works! Well, a little. It booted and I was able to sync & browse via PC. I couldn't get the phone to work. Atleast I can get all of my data & backup one last time.
Screen is toast
Camera glass is broken
Phone doesn't work
Probably not worth the repair even though it would make a good backup device.
Finally remembered...

It makes a nice charger for my backup battery!!

I just paid for my new HTC Touch HD I got on eBay

I just paid for my new HTC Touch HD I got on eBay last night and it should be shipped out from down under pretty soon. So, I guess that means HTC can now announce all of their cool next generation phones. At least that's how it usually works when I buy something high tech. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting it and going through the process of installing all the software onto it.
congrats mate!!!
im sure ul enjoy it , i do mine
the only thing i feel im missing out on is the app store for the iphone
but that said i still wouldnt swap mine if the chance arose
also give spb mobile shell 3 a look for something a bit different
congratulations! don't worry since you can have fun with the HD for months before anything new comes out, is tested well, and stable!
there has already been a few new phones announced from htc like 1-2months ago, think there's alredy 1 maybe 2 of them already out or due out shortly.
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/o2-htc-touch-diamond2.html
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-touch-pro2.html
there's a topic on here somewhere thats lists the ones that where announced, too late now for me to go digging for it.
hellow, i need your help mates
Where can i buy HD for about 450-500 usd, and where the visa virtuon card is accepted, and is guaranteed that they will ship the pda to me in europe?
I would say eBay as well and then someone who accepts PayPal. Maybe this could also help (sry for bad google translation) you.

Hi materijalmen,
Seeing your flag, I suggest to try:
http://www.pdashop.nl/product/59805/htc-touch-hd-nl.html
You can also do a direct bank transfer with these guys, and they gave me good service in the past. I know it's a bit more than you mentioned, but that's the going rate, unless you want to try marktplaats?

Yes. I've flashed Dutty's rom on it and I've downloaded some other programs I plan to add. I'm learning things as I go but so far I like everything except:
1 The screen goes black during a call. How do I get the screen back up? What if I have to "press one for English"? There's no keypad.
2 Whle trying to delete calls from teh call history I've accidently called people a few times.
3 While trying to install the ROM, which took about an hour, my wife was trying to call me to pick her up fom the metrorail station. She had to wait an hour since I don't have any other phone. Boy was she pissed.

Press the arrow button and the screen should come back on, then their's an option to display the keypad.

I lost the backplate to my HD2 whilst getting very drunk last night :(

Anyone know where i can get a replacement backplate? I have googled forever today and came up with sqat. I sent an email to the HTC website hopefully they may get back to me soon.
Aha I did that last week and have totally bashed up the corners of the device dropping it on to concrete.
OMG, sorry to hear about your loss buddy, hope you get it sorted.
yer hurts to hear
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/pp/HTC_Accessories/HTC_HD2/HTC_HD2_EXTENDED_LIFE_BATTERY.html
cheap just to get you by for now....
If anyone has a bricked HD2 i would quite happily buy the backplate from them?
HTC replied to look at their website - duh, i already did that as explained to them. My O2 said they cannot find anything in stock lol
Madness
I am actually amazed that neither O2 or HTC are willing to supply me with a replacement backplate - HTC saying that they do not have them on their website, O2 denying all responsibility.
Wondering what my options are??
I'm actualy amazed that people are so rich to take their high-end mobile phones to party and waste themselves (with the phone). How about having old nokia pub phone? Or being more careful? I guess you should check ebay and other auction to find some destroyed HD2 for these parts.
Btw, how did you managed to lose the backplate? I cant even take it out most of the time (have to really try hard).

Agreed, I contacted HTC 3 times and each time they completely didn't even acknowledge the backplate question and just talked about my other points (sms etc). I have to say their customer service has so far been terrible.
I should hopefully be getting a replacement HD2 from vodafone in the next few days if I didn't have to give my old one back I might have been able to send you the backplate, though it was loose on one corner anyway... You might have to make do with the extended battery one for now till the backplate replacements come (surely they will come eventually?)
I think you are probably right about having to get the extended back cover/battery - which does not ship until march (its laughable)
Sorry mate but I couldn't keep the cover for you, the bloke checked it over this morning when he collected it, so extended battery (when it comes out) might be the way to go, or by then they might have the normal versions out?
I have a spare !!
Strangely enough, I actually have a spare backplate, for the HD2. I recently had to send back my HD2 for repair and had to remove battery and backplate before sending, when it was returned (within days 30thDec till 5th Jan, very impressed), it appeared with another.
Although it's always useful to have a spare, I would love to help out, I always come to these forums to find fixes and such, and not clever enough to normally help anybody out, however as luck would have it, this might be my opportunity
Let me know if I can help ........
not so much a problem, friends of mine found themselves married after parties!

Firstly... Top bloke, i have only been a member of this forum a few month but instances like this make it what it is
Secondly thanks to all those who posted links to buy them, i have been thinking of having my name engraved on the back of my HD2 "looks cool" but i would still like a spare just in case it goes wrong,

Share your most unforgettable story between you and your beloved HTC HD2...

Guys let's give ourselves a break! Everyday we try to make our phones work better and faster. Searching for ROMS, RADIOs, Themes, ICONs, APPs and everything that is available out there and trying them out one by one. "Even soldiers at war know when to sleep.." This time let's share some interesting, funny, scary or any story that you can share. Let's talk about our stories with our HTC HD2s!
Let's try to have some fun while reading different stories between you and your beloved HTC HD2. Let's share not only good things that happened but also the bad stuffs, and maybe someone out there can learn something from your story.
So what are you waiting for? Start sharing your stories here!
I'm currently staying here in Riyadh because of work. Every once in awhile, me and my friends went out. We went to Khobar that day, it was weekend here so we have no work. About 4-5 hours travel by car just to get there, so we have a few stop overs just to go to the cr, buy some drinks and get some gas. On the mid-way of you trip, we have this stop over on a gasoline station, i went to the other car to check for our other friends there. Then we continued our trip. After more or less 20 mins, i started to noticed that i can't find my phone anywhere. I didn't let my friends know it at first because i thought i just put somewhere in my bag. But after 10 mins of looking, my heart starts to beat fast. At that time i only have my phone for 2 months i think, so i was so nervous but i didn't let my friends see it through me. Then i asked one of them to please call my number so that we would know if the phone was on the car or not. Then he said that it was ringing but we are not hearing anything inside the car. Then he said that a saudi guy answered the phone, at this point i don't know what to do and i was so scared. Then i told him that if he's just only joking it was not funny. Then he handed over to me his phone and when i said "hello.." someone replied from the other side. I was so scared that the guy who found my phone will not return it to me anymore. Then he told us that he found my phone on a gasoline station. Then he said that we will meet on the next bridge. After reaching the next bridge at a speed of 180km/hr, we called the guy again. He said that he was waiting there for 10 mins and he left already. He said that we will meet on the next bridge again. At this point im completely losing hope of seeing my phone again.
When we reached the said bridge, we called the my phone again and the guy said that he was waiting there for quite sometime and that he was on his way to Dammam. We told him to wait for us at the road going to Dammam, then he told us that he was going to a wedding and he was on a hurry. Then he said that in the evening that day he will be in Khobar for the wedding and he will return my phone there.
I didnt enjoy the rest of our trip because im still worried about my phone. Then as soon as it get's dark, we called the guy again. And he said that he was in Khobar that time and we will meet. I'm still nervous at that point, but my friends told me that the guy will return my phone.. blah blah blah.. Then the guy told us to hurry up because he will be leaving soon. So we asked him to give us 3 more mins and we will be there.
Then when we arrived at the said place, we saw the guy on a Lexus Black 2008 edition i think. The guy handed the phone to us with out any questions.
I was so thankful that my phone was returned. And imagine, i dropped the phone in a gasoline station but then when it was returned to me there are no scratches or anything, thanks to my Piel Frama leather case!
Since that day, i never let even a split second that i can't see my phone. I promised myself to take care of it very well. I treated my phone as if i was taking care of a cute puppy.
As of today im still waiting for my Otterbox Defender Case to be shipped. And im willing to give my very best for my phone!
That's all...
Thanks,
Pongskie
Great story, glad to hear you got it back. I'd be panicking loads if I thought I'd lost my hd2 and someone had taken it.

Mine is a bit lame, but over the past 2 weeks myself and my wife have been in hospital with our 3 week premature little girl in nursery care, during that time the HD2 was my saving grace, being able to stay on keep in touch with friends on facebook and general web browsing, take regular photos of our girl to update my wife while she was recovering from the surgery (c-section) and bub was in nursery, post online and send to family, uploading video to youtube etc. Everything is in this phone, there is not one limitation and thats what I love about it.

No understanding.
When I put the kids to bed obviously I have my HD2 just in case I need to check something.... My eldest daughter has now put a sign up outside her room "no telefon" she's only 6 still learning to spell.
Obviously my wife loved that and was thinking of getting one for the bedroom.
On a sad note my HD2 has been away getting fixed for 3 weeks (been using the old touch diamond which is still good) how they all laughed when I told them it had broke. Getting it back tomorrow hopefully.
p.s.
That's not my real name, if anybody saw this thread apart from HD2 owners we're F****ed. They wouldn't understand.
On a recent camping trip to the English Lake district,the torch came in really useful
for picking my way through the guy lines to find the toilet late at night.
Also was able to take photos and upload them straight to Facebook

as well to run my laptop from a field awesome....

I know this feeling and this problem!
I think HTC and XDA must place a warning
warning:
Using a HTC device and be active on xda can created some damage between you and your partner!
LOL

Is this phone worth saving, or trash it.

Oh and sorry to all the princesses on here who cant even wait for a person to sleep through the night before bring out the lynch mob and pitch forks.
Next time I will PM each one of you individually so you will get minute by minute updates of my life.
ANYWAY
Is this have any value for me to keep in parts.
It powers on but the LED screen does not come up, about all that seems usefull to me is the back and battery. Is there anything else worth saving?
No insurance on the phone? I was going to say get a replacement screen on ebay but I just checked the prices and my god its not worth it.
Would probably be worth keeping it. Parts prices will fall in the next few months and could replace the screen pretty cheaply if you hold on to it.
Why did you not ask this question in the other thread you started?
I'll buy it off of you. pm me
You could use the HDMI out and use it as a Linux PC.
*shruggs*
holy crap what did you do to it

I need the actual LED display also, not just the glass.
I do have insurance, but at the time it was still on the road so I claimed it lost, it was still there when I came back home so I picked it up.

Fair enough. I did not notice it was locked. Good luck!
save it for a rainy day. spare battery or whatever isnt damaged. i dont see the need to start a thread to help make a decision about something that does not help anyone else on XDA.
If anything we now know, not to leave our expensive device on a car and drive away. Thank you for the insight.

people are mad.. because..
you only post a broken galaxy s3 pic + "booo" word.
just boooo word.
it just like you somehow
make a statement that galaxy s3 is a bad and so fragile device.
which is not,
it got ran by a truck,
of course it's broke.
anyway..
just wait for the parts price down,
it's still rare and pricy for now.

Didn't you say you had insurance and were getting it replaced?
Don't you have to send it back?

I get that, but I posted late at night and got up the next morning to a lynch mob, its not like I abandoned the thread. I would have never thought anyone would intentionally damage such an expensive thread so it was rather pathetic to see that was the direction of the thread before I had a chance to respond.

I claimed it as lost, It fell off on a very busy road and I wasnt to keen on trying to stop traffic to get it. On the way home it had worked its way closer to the side of the road and traffic was a lot lighter so I decided to venture out (mainly just to see if my SD made it). I had already made the claim though as lost, since I didnt plan on trying to retrieve the phone.
