I have disassembled my qtek S200. I managed to assemble everything except this small elastic part that I cannot find where it fits. I think it was close to or have a relationship with the stylus. Every answer is appreciated.
See the attached pictures. If I remember correctly, this rubbery thing is covering the element which is designated as "MIC 1" on the first picture (look at the bottom left of the photo). You can also get a goot look at it on the second picture. There the same element can be seen at the right end of the photo. On both pictures the element is uncovered.
In this topic you can find a link to the service manual for the prophet:

I have also found this direct link to the same document with Google:
http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Prophet Service Manual.pdf
There is plenty of very useful info there, even if this exact question is not answered
Thanks for the info, I am going to check soon.
Thanks for the link for the service manual as well. I had it already and from what I saw your point that this question is not answered is valid.
Thanks once more for the info. I have just checked and it seems that this is the place for this part. The component that it covers has a tiny hole(probably an oscillator?) and I suppose that it is there to protect the component from dust and other tiny particles from entering.
You may well be correct, I have not investigated thiss fully. However it is typical of HTC devices to have a rubber cover over the microphone to dampen extraneous sound and knocking. Worth checking.

I want to take my XDA IIs apart to see if it's possible to;
1) tighten up the keyboard slider mechanism.
2) make the 'stops' that hold the screen in the open position a little stronger. ie screen will not no easilly drop onto my thumbs while typing in bed.
Before I start I thought I'd open the idea up to the forum....Any advice please ?
There seem to be two sets of screws to play with, two T6? on the sides and two smaller screws on the back of the screen ( when opened ) which seem smaller. There are also three screws in the battery bay which I think are not related.
I'll take a few photos while I'm inside and post.

That would be really useful as i am thinking of doing the same, mine is starting to loosen (tho o2 are being very nice to me at the moment and offering me a new one!)
dismantled my XDA IIs
ok the phone has been dismantled. You can see a few pics at the following URL.
http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/1081010
They will load full size if you click on them a few times.
I will update the pics later with some text. Some initial observations.
1) The slider 'rail' system is spot/heat welded to the phone body - pict 2291 - does leave alot of room for adjustment.
2) The mic is actually quite large - if the mic hole in the casing was larger I think the people-ask-me-to-speak-louder problem would be improved.
3) The clip that holds the phone in the open/closed position is rubbish - pict 2295 - I would say that if this clip was stiffer the slider mechanism would function much better.
sorry. point 1 should read...
1) The slider 'rail' system is spot/heat welded to the phone body - pict 2291 - does NOT leave alot of room for adjustment.
Hi, if it's not too much trouble, could you enlarge the part where the volume slider is? Mine don't seems to have any latch where the silver button can catch onto (i.e when i fixed back the casing, the button is very loose and unable to adjust the volume no matter how much i slide it up or down). TIA!
Hi - if you click on the thumbnail you get a slightly larger version, if you then click on this you get a new browser windows which gives you the full 4 Megapixel size of 2304 x 1704 pixels which gives alot of detail. These are all the ( in focus ) pictures that I have. The phone has now been put back together.
When I click on a thumbnail I get a medium-sized image, but clicking on that does nothing. Is there another way for us to get the fullsize images?
Thanks!
Replace the screen
Now the IIs is open, have you considered replacing the screen with an ordinary II? Do the connectors look the same?
Ive been reading, and can now observe for myself that the IIs screen is more 'yellow' than the II.
Thoughts?
sorry about the delay. Download the full size pics here

They're 4.5Mb !
No plans to swap the screen. Quite happy with mine.
Kudos for your bravery! Please post your solution to tightening the slider. You will undoubtedly ascend to PPC demi-god status if you find a way.Excellent work! Keep us updated please.
Cheers!
the pics in the zipped are corrupted..... its not even 4.5mb... something is wrong with the file pls upload the files again thank you so much... after looking at the bigger pics then i will be able to see if the LCD can be replace....
wertert,
Yes, zip file is only 1.5 KB... please repost.
When you took the device apart, did you notice where the WiFi antenna was and if it could possibly be relocated? A lot of people are complaining about the WiFi reception in the Blue Angel and, chances are, it's due to the antenna design/placement/location.
Thanks!
sorry about that.....I've tried uploading again but I seem to get a problem. Even uploading the raw jpg files is failing. I think my web site allocation is full up ! Does anyone have an FTP site I could put these picture on ?

ps - I can also email them over. Can you get an address to me ?

thanks for opening up the PDA2K for us...
1) So how did you finally fixed the loose keyboard????
2) Also, can it be that people that got their keyboard too loosed
used a PDA2K case such as the PEIL FRAMA one?
That case has a large and rather thick plastic that covers the
keyboad and goes between the keyboard and the body, it seems like it may case the keyboard to be loosed after sometime.
Thanks
Re: dismantled my XDA IIs

Did you make any modifications to the phone to improve the ability of the mic to pick up your voice?
Krusell case loosened keyb in 1.5 months
Yes sorci's right! The gap increased since I got my i-mate into such a case with a thick plastic cover over the keys. Everyday i notice it incresing. Loox like paranoia Well, what to do with the problem? Living in Russia I got no hopes for friendly product support. Have to solve it by means of a screwdriver and a hammer. Wish me luck, colleagues.

After a 4 month ordeal with a warranty repair, I finally got my Jasjar back. Although, it had a loose screen swivel mount. When I tore it apart (using the pdf service manual on this site ... thank you), I realized the warranty center (TOPP Solutions) had left out THREE of the five screws that hold the swivel mounts on !!! I have been searching everywhere I can think of for these very small specialized screws and have been unsuccessful. Has anyone found a place to purchase these? By the way, I've already checked with PDASmart, PocketPCTechs, Digi-Key and i-mate tech support. I've also attached the relevant images from the service manual to help identify what I'm referring to. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
...try any hardware shop. They've got 1000s of different types...
I truly wish it was that easy
These are so small that even the electronic shops I’ve stopped at look at me and laugh. At 1.6mm they are about the size of the screws on eyeglasses and about 1/2 the size of the small torx screws that hold the back on. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
...try this one
Electronic Products - Enclosure Assembly, Mechanical / Electro-Mechanical, Mechanical, Hardware, 1, Fastener - Screw - Sheet Metal Screw, M1.6 x 2.8mm, Type B, Philips, ... - www.electronicproducts.com/whatsins...
a little more help please?
Thank you very much for the source, although, I haven't been able to find it on the site. I've registered in electronicproducts.com and spent about an hour searching the site, but I must be dense since I can't find it.
Could you be so kind as to post the complete link, since the other link got cut off (www.electronicproducts.com/whatsins...)
The site looks like it has access to tonnes of components. Thanks again.

Hi,
Not really sure where to post this, Tried in the universal forum but with no success. Please move if its in the wrong place!
Does anyone know where i can get some of the conductive fabric that is used inside most of the HTC phones. I'm trying to repair a universal but have misplaced the fabric. I made a makeshift version with electrical tape and spare bits that i butchered of another phone but it just isn't the same - Screen is pretty messed up! I'm guessing its used as some kind of screen or ground thats common to a few components.
Found a supplier in Hong Kong but they only sell it in massive sheets (50m2 or something) and i don't need nearly that much
I've attached a picture so you can all see what i'm talking about.
Any help is much appreciated.
c'mon, no one?
Is there other camera software. My camera is barley passable. There is way too long of a delay till it actually snaps a picture by the time it does the subject has moved and most of the time just comes out blurry. With video if you pan even slowly its also blurry. Is this a hardware issue in which case were stuck or is it software in whcih case is there an alternate. Ive searched and found none. I read the posts about the plastic piece and was thiking of removing it because there is an improvement but what about dust getting into other plastic part on the lens which seems harder to clean. Thanks for any help.

Which version of the Rhodium have you got?
I have a European GSM version, and the back cover has a hole in it and there's no extra clear plastic piece. Dust does sometimes get in, but nothing that a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth doesn't solve.
I have the US sprint cdma version.
Does that have the plastic on the back battery cover? I think the T-Mobile version had, but not sure about the Sprint one.
Anyway if there is a plastic piece on the battery cover, then removing might give you a bit of a better picture.
Also you can try the advice here:
http://mobilitydigest.com/decrease-the-blur-of-your-camera-really/
It works for some other HTC models (Fuze and Touch HD) and the brightness tweak seemed to work on my Touch Pro 2.
Finally, I don't know of any alternative camera apps. I've flashed a custom ROM on my phone which has an updated HTC camera app. The response is fine, although pictures can be a bit grainy (which is a kind of pay-off).
thanks for the reply. im not sure about taking off the plastic altough i knoow it would help. im nervous about dust getting stuff getting in. Ill have to read about what others said about that. I read the link you sent and it seems to have really helped. Im not sure about one thing though:
To enable the frames per second on your
camera just make this tweak (click for original posting): HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/
Common and change EnableFrameRateInfo to
1
What does he mean and how do i do that?
Thanks again
Steve
Wow my first post...anyway, both BSB Tweeks and Advance Config let you adjust your camera settings without having to do any registry changes. Hope that helps, I love my camera now

It means change a registry key, but registry editing can be messy if you're not sure what you're doing, so always back-up if you do make changes. As cgonzgo says there are apps that can do the changes behind the scenes for you.
The thread on xda-developers for the Advanced Configuration Tool is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
As to the specific key for displaying the frame rate information, this can be useful but not strictly necessary. As the article stated, just waving your hand in front of the camera to check for blurriness can be a quick-and-dirty way of seeing the difference.
thanks. I downloaded advanced configuration and made the changes and there is an improvment.
No problem. I'm glad it worked out for you.
I know people run into this all the time with other phones, but I'm not sure how to fix it with this particular phone. I keep it in my pocket all the time and the little hole right beside the camera lens must be letting in pocket dust. The quality of the camera pictures are much lower and the camera has a hard time gauging light now.
Any one have any idea how to clean it out? I've tried blowing compressed air at various angles into the hole but it doesn't really help. Maybe disassembling the phone is the only way, but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
EDIT:
So fixing the problem was relatively easy, although it may void your warranty. You simply need to remove the two small T3 screws on the bottom of the phone and open the phone by pulling the phone open. There is a video demonstrating the disassembly (just search youtube or google for "Amazon Fire Phone Teardown Review" by iFixit Video). [remove spaces below for direct link, i'm a newbie so can't post links yet]
www . you tube . com / watch ? v = d5k-AWEeWqo
As you open it, there will be a small sticker that gets detached that proves to Amazon that you opened it and will likely void your warranty. If you are ok with that, you simply clean out the clear lens cover and reassemble by snapping the phone back together, starting with the top of the phone.
I have got the exact same problem. I don't know what to do. Picture quality is much lower, they are now a little bit overexposed and washed out.
I was thinking to send it back to warranty, but I don't know if it qualifies for warranty.
If you can open yours and clean your camera, please post instructions here.
Thanks
Edit:
I have just seen a Youtube video and it appears you only have to unscrew the two little bottom screws to remove the back cover.
I'm in the same boat after just a little over a month of usage.
Solved, see original post
Just did it. Worked perfectly. Make sure you take the SIM card out!!! I almost cracked the case trying to open it with the SIM card in. Cleaned the lens cover with a swab. Pictures are clear again. Yea!!
any permanent solution?
Cleaning the lens will be a temporary solution.
The dust will continue to enter inside when you keep your phone in your pocket..
Please let me know about a permanent solution for the same.
I m unable to use the fire phone's camera since then.
Any rubber piece to seal the entrance of the dust over the camera?? ???
