Dear fellow xda-devs,
After some discussion with mikechannon in our diagnosis thread, we came to a conclusion that my Hermes camera is actually broken. I can't live without it on my phone as I'm a guy who loves spontaneous photography. I can shoot on practically anything, anytime. A standalone camera is too expensive for me. I'm just a student and my Hermes practically used up my savings.
So here I am, appealing to all Hermes users who have a bricked/faulty/extra/spare/not-in-use to donate/spare/sell me their Hermes camera at a bargain.
Thanks in advance.
P.S - I live in Malaysia

Hi
As it happens I have one I could donate, BUT the postage costs might be expensive from UK to Malaysia.
Perhaps wait to see if someone closer has one for you.

Hi again,
wow. You're my true hero. Like daylight batman. lol. We'll wait and see...
Any kind souls?
Puhleease?
Hmm, maybe cause this thread is in the Hermes accessories section. Not enough exposure. Lol
..
Check at lelong.com.my u might get sumtin from there..
maybe buy this just posted one for spare parts...

good luck
hey there.
nah, ive checked lelong. every other day i'll browse lelong n ebay to kill time. thanks for your response.
hey hey,
yeah i saw that post too. there are tons of faulty devices out the that i can make use of, but money has always been the culprit stopping me from doing so..
lol
btw mike, i was wondering how much will the shipping be from Uk to Malaysia for small packets? Cause last week, i bought a pair of stylus and the shipping is only a couple of pounds. I was thinking that if you were to donate, i think it is only fair that i cover your shipping cost
mike might not see this post, so u may want to PM him

I just happen to have got some kind of problem with my camera, and taking it out has fixed the battery drain issues and stuff, I live in the Uk and if you don't send it off to abubakar, would you be willing to let me knows? I would like to fix my phone too but unsure where to get the part for it.
Cheers

Seems the LG BLUETOOTH STYLE-i can only be bought in America. Shame really. The shipping costs are more than what the product is worth. I want one!
yeah, id like one too, but for 35 quid, i dont know...
and will probably take ages to come and Confucious said his might be fake... so its a toss up..
Rory
Isn't there anyone on this forum who knows a safer way to acquire a LG BLUETOOTH STYLE-i ?
Some work others don't they were only sold in the US. I got mine off eBay and it's one of the ones that keeps losing the BT connection which is why Pawel sugested it could be a fake.

The case is NEW !! the screen is NEW !!
and the LCDs inside are damaged in the corner!!
The buggers...
I will try calling the Dell CC.
Till then, is it safe to use the Streak like that!
YOu all think they will replace it??
I have seen mixed responses here at forum..
I am here in Bangalore, India.

I add to the bandwagon who are asked,
" How do you drop a $400 phone ? " !!!

Awww Mann!
care,
Sony.
Dude, did you not get some kind of cover ? I am so paranoid, I didn't use my phone till I got my Otterbox Commuter.
SOrry for your loss.
Did you buy it here in India (with warranty) or bought it from US (like I did)
Ya.. Dooms here!
Ya, I bought it from US only
Scream: Noooooooooo !!
You are right in being Paranoid..
I am really to be damned!
I called up dell, and they say they cant help as its from US !!!
and that International warranty does not apply in India!!!
I dont know, but, Since, I am in Bangalore, I will try to have a visit to the Service Centre.
But, I do not hope much from that!
Can anyone help?
ahh,
Care,
Sony.
Some kind soul!
Some kind soul,

Ahhh, I am hurt, and so is my Streak,

Thanks for that..
But, again.
If any warranty solution is available. I would want it to work, before I am compelled to !
so, I guess.. There is no one here in Dell.
(Or anyone from India.. who has done it?)
Care,
Sony.
You can exchange it with Dell for a Refurbished for $250.00 if you are the registered owner or replace the lcd yourself for around $100.00.
Those are your options. Calling Dell other than to do an out of warranty exchange for 250.00 would be a waste of time since this would not be covered under the normal warranty.
My Otterbox Defender should be here today to protect my newly replaced screen.. .
May I can make you a little better...
Just take a look at the picture...

Like I said,
I am in India, and I dont think I will be making any US trip soon!
So, the exchange / replacement at $250 is not in scope currently!
I am serious about the 100 bucks replacement screen, but, again,
Like I said, It will be like 200 bucks here in India.
That's the problem!
Thanks for your input.
Keep your Streak Safe!

Hey mate,!
I looked at the pic.
that does not make me feel better!!
I am even more sad, that you have a Smashed-up Streak too!!
I agree my damage is not as bad as yours.
I mean I can still operate the phone and all.
(I dont know if its safe to use it like that?!!, Is it?)
Two questions:
Are you from India (Or any country which does not have good Dell support!)?
What did you do about the damaged screen?
Edit: I was trying to check for the replacement screen from ebay, but, the 100 bucks screen does not ship to India!!!
If any of them does.. Puhleeez, let me know!
Care,
Sony.
@All: Please take care of your streak! , Use it like it is your laptop.!
So I'm a computer engineer, Brazilian, living in UK.
That phone belong to my friend fat ass 150 kilos, he few weeks ago brake the glass in 3 parts while play futebol, 5 days ago he come to me almost crying, he just sit on the phone, he said when felt the phone he lift but 150 kilos huge fat ass you can imagine.
I see on ebay for £80 glass, screen and tools, I'm thinking about buy and change by myself.
On that link http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Dell-Streak-Teardown/3512/1 you can see how to open easy, and a quick look on the web can found videos where show what to do.
I think if you can see the screen, still working why not keep using the phone whyle you can ?
That is some funny ****.....fat ass....lol
Call the shop that I have listed in my guide. Maybe they can ship it. I even think they may be from India or email them.

Sony.
The more I see of these cracked screen reports the more I wonder how long before a class action lawsuit is filed against Dell for this problem. Gorilla Glass be damned.
About what I see already the original case is so week, first problem the streak was droped on the floor from about 1 metre, that was enough to made a smal crack on the glass, so week unfortunately
If anyone wants the email for the shop in the Philly that carries the LCD, please PM me and I will get it for you.

China Scam...
I'm half suspicious you are the scammer responsible for that page, and you've only posted to get more hits, since I can't believe anyone with even an iota of critical thinking would need to actually ask that question.
If you do pull the trigger on that one, then I know this nigerian guy who will be keen to be in touch with you, could be quite a lucrative opportunity.
if it looks to good to be true.......chance is this is like many sites in china......con, I used to get loads of ads of these kinds of companies with stuff mega cheap, just google them and see, other chance is that it is a cheap copy.

Yeah, I know you are desperate to have the phone like the rest of us. You're not the only one here to have rational thought overtaken by gadget-lust, you should see the number of guys here who purchased 32GB microSD cards for "amazing prices", only to receive fakes.
When you're buying electronics you should really only ever stick to reputable sellers - anything online that looks too good to be true is a sham.
Thinking of getting the Mrs one

You tell us. Go to a shop and ask. Send a mail to wherever sells phones. Whatever.
I think they may have a better idea than anyone here.
The price will drop a little bit , it costs now ~500$ for SIM free S2 and i guess it will stay between 500$ to 450$ for the rest of the year

Seriously ? As someone wise on here said in another thread about 5 minutes ago (or words to that effect) "Think about it logically".
Of course the price is going to drop in many places. New model coming, telcos flogging the phone on plans in particular will be wanting to get rid of them; I.E. Used to be on say $39 a mth +$5 per mth for handset plan now available for $29 per mth +$0.
Not exactly rocket surgery.
