Hi,
I am planning on buying the HTC HD7 on contract through buymobilephones.net. I have a few questions about it before I buy it.
1. Can I get the phone unlocked straight away from o2? As its on contract.
2. Do O2 sell their screen protectors in the shops or is it just online?
3. Everyone enjoy their HTC HD7s? The screen and battery life okay?

1. Believe its normally 12 months if you are a new customer
2. yes, they are in o2 shops and cases.
I would expect to charge mine every night if you are going to give it some fairly heavy use.
The Battery is Much better than the HTC Desire for sure.
Hmmm... Is there no option to unlock the phone as soon as I get it?
Can somebody please tell me what the german O2 HD7 comes with? Leather pouch, Screen protector... Things like this?
Regards,
insi

See I'd have to disagree with you, I'd only charge my Desire once a day I charge the HD7 twice, the screen just eats the battery

Are you serious? The screen isn't that bigger and I doubt it would effect power consumption that much.
I've listened to music on the HD7 for about 4 hours and been able to make it to the end of the day without it dying. On the Desire I'd get about an hours worth of music playback anything more than that and I'd be in danger of my phone dying by the end of the day.

Hello,
I think HTC Kaiser's screen is too delicate. Mine got cracked yesterday very easily. I've had many PDA phones and it never happened to me.
Does anyone know where can I get a replacement screen?
Thanks,
Mario.
How did it crack, you pushed too hard when trying to use TouchFlo? it fell. Cause there has to be a reason that gives you the impression the screen is too delicate
ha ha, that sucks
Well, depending on how long you've had it, maybe it's covered under the 30 day warranty for return? I can't imagine how someone could break it, so it sounds like manufacturing defect to me??
Sound good to you??
Give it a try....
Let us know how it happened and if you get it fixed!
Good luck!
And to Doug2873... Don't make the guy feel worse than I'm sure he already does!!

I have replacement LCD screens for the Kaiser / TYTN II.

do you have any other parts?
When I read certain posts in these forums, I wonder: So annoying online.... what it would be like to meet these people in real life? Although I guess everybody has one of these in their office...

Thank you all for your replies...I live in Mexico City and currently I'm in the US and there's no way of getting a replacement screen. HTC asked me to ship them the unit and they would charge between $170 and $350 USD for fixing it.
njbridges: I sent you a PM with my contact info.
I think we need a hard case for this device. Has anyone seen one?
Mine cracked because someone pushed me and I fell on it.
Thanks!
Regards,
MN
I think if SOMEONE fell on any PDA out there, the screen cracks is no wonmder. i think...
I read a Post where someone have cracked his PDA (i think mda3) because it feld off off the front window on his car and down to the gearbrick(?).. and it cracks the screen 2times.
I don´t have the feeling that the screen is more sensible as other screens...
Sorry for the engl. i´m from germany.

I too cracked my screen pretty traumatized about it, superiorgadgets is looking into it, but I will pm njbridges as well as a backup.
I'm unable to get the cracked screen out of the device, I have all the screwdrivers but I can't find a way of opening the Kaiser.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337102
Mine just cracked today, for no reason. It has never been dropped or abused, it's in new condition, not a nick or scratch on it, I'm extremely careful. It was on the counter charging and I went to take it off the charger and saw the screen was cracked. I called ATT and they told me I'm SOL, it would be $498 to repair.
yeah if u are comfortable best bet do it yourself and save $300-$400
I found the part for about $100 from another member here. I'm tempted to just replace it and sell this phone. While I loved the 8525, I haven't been particularly happy with the 8925. Maybe it would be better with newer firmware, but I won't know now unless I replace the screen. I wonder what it's worth for parts......
Mine has never been dropped, but after reading how easy is to break it I'm really concerned...
I have dropped my old 8125 like 10 times and it's still working like the first day...
I just ordered the replacement screen from njbridges today. I'll post after I've received the parts and add my 2 cents. If anybody is going to break something in this replacement process, it will be me. I'm completely inept at using tools. I can barely even change the batteries in my kids' toys.
well i bought a screen for my Kaiser off eBay, but it wont get here for another 2 weeks; great, it was supposed to be here today. if anyone has a new Tilt/8925/Kaiser screen they'd be willing to sell (pref in USA for shipping reasons) let me know; i need one in less than a week as im going overseas; the data on my phone and having my phone there is CRITICAL, my only backup phone is not compatible with european networks.
im willing to pay for overnight shipping and send payment overnight as well. please email me at [email protected] ASAP!
thanks,
Slade
hey, take a look at this, it seems like this tilt had the infamous red light of death happen to it, so he's selling it cheap,

Hello all,
My friend has an HTC Vivid with ATT and she dropped it this morning and basically shattered the screen. Phone still works just doesn't look pretty. I've never cracked a screen on a smartphone.
If anyone has experience with getting this type of thing fixed what are the next steps? Go to ATT? Go to HTC? Find a local?
Thanks!

I guess that it depends on when she bought the phone, and more importantly, did she buy the insurance plan.
I fixed mine myself it wasn't that hard but there are a few points that may give you some issue. Amazon was selling the digitizer screen for about $30.00 a couple of days ago.

As esloan said pretty easy to fix yourself there are videos on how to do it on youtube or usually there is a link attached to the purchase of the digitizer. I got my girls fixed at a local (Australia) for $150
Hi Mates,
I had some issues with my htc salsa's battery so I bought a new one from local vendor (As it was not available at HTC service center).
But that battery also didn't work for long and starts bulging so I remove it from my phone and now again I have to buy a new battery.
Can anyone guide me from where to buy it?
Thanks in advance

Buy a new HTC Battery either from Amazon or eBay and don't buy cheap copy's, buy HTC ones only. they are around u gotta look for them though.
Hi all.
It seems that my HTC One M8 battery gave up on me. It became swollen causing the screen to pop out. I want to change it asap to prevent any other problems. Any suggestions on trustworthy online sellers for OEM batteries? Preferably shipping from within European Union.
Thanks!!

You will save yourself headache and possibly broken phone by contacting
HTC online and arranging for battery replacement. Not easily done yourself.
Cost is competitive with choice of finding part and successfully getting battery removed and replaced.
Last time I did this, they sent me what looked like a new phone instead of the one I mailed in.
Can you guys please tell us how much you payed for the battery replacement?
Cheers
get an OE replacement. the headache to take it apart isnt worth cheaping out over when the generic craps out 6mo in.
hi friends, anyone has tried a m8's battery compatible for m8?
i need a new battery, and i find a 2900mah m8 battery, any suggestion? the price is the same... i have fear for compatibility
thank in advance
(sorry for my bad english)

What was the cost of that service?
Was $100 at that time
I've changed mine. It costed 1 hour and 20 USD.
For a battery changing and improvement, i suggest you to install an m9's battery. You Will have a bit longer lasting one. Itt fits exactly as the original m8's one. Yo Will get half an hour more screen time. The best non oem brand could be Patona. It have great scores from users in photo cameras.
You Can try do It by yourself ,not very difficult. Try search in YouTube about tutorials.
Has anyone actually done this to guarantee it fits properly?
