Greetings.
Anyone knows where I can find a coaxial cable for the wifi for the HD2?
It's not only nicotine u use, is it. Wat the hell do you mean
If you're thinking of hooking up an external antenna to your HD2, as far as I know you'd have to open up the HD2 and wire on a coax port to the right part of the board, and I've got no idea how to get that working!
If you do manage to do this, let us know how!
Sorry if I've misunderstood your rather strange question!
Did you lose it when disassembling your HD2 or something?
I believe it's just a standard coax cable with u.fl connectors, the problem would be finding one with correct length. eBay has plenty, but they're anywhere from 20 to 50cm - don't really want to try fitting that in a phone...
you can find them at mouser com
i need also one and did some search work
you need i W.FL-2LP-04N2-A-(60) u.fl is a lit bigger.
2lp means two sides connector 04n ticknes 0.83mm, 2 color, (60= lenght)mm.
see also data sheet in table on the side. looks, they sel also just one.
i not alowed to place the link. becourse i am new here.
onlly did not fnd out or the have also female connectors

Yup! Correct!
Thank you all for your replies. I did find one on ebay, from a broken one.
I hope he will sent me the right one. If not I'll try ur suggestion Tristan_1. Thx
I was on same situatio with wifi cable. Searched over net and nothing. Looked to here recommended shop too. Price for shpping to europe is 10 times bigger than cable itself.
But i finded on ebay cables to Touch Daimond. On pics they looks same like on hd2. I asked here on touch forum lengts for both cables. They are SAME with hd2 cables. Only difference is that hd2 uses for gps white one' touch black. I opened more 10 hd2 (all from europe). Abot t-mobile i cant say anything.
On ebay i finded many sellers with possible search string: OEM AERIAL ANTENNA WIRE RECEPTION FOR HTC TOUCH DIAMOND
Usually after two week i can finally confirm are these touch diamond cables right ones for hd2 too.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk
Tristan, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I have been scouring the internet looking for this part and had no idea what to look for so thank you so much for your post. I purchased that part and hopefully I can report back that my phone works again!
.d2onderdelen .nl
i find out, that they have them also. and they sel them in pares. also other part of the hd2
Finally i can CONFIRM that YES wifi/bluetooth antenna coaxial cable is same what used on HTC HD2 (can confirm only EU model). About T-Mobile i cant say.
But GPS cable wich one sell with wifi/bluetooth cable dont fit. Its littlebit longer but short for using on GPS.
This one wich i bought dont had so quality on connectors side (not for many many times connect/disconnect) like original. Yes it was cheap too. But i tested work and signal and there was no loss.
Hope helped now many users who cant find replacment for wifi / bluetooth coaxial cable.
Just try on ebay string OEM AERIAL ANTENNA WIRE RECEPTION FOR HTC TOUCH DIAMOND or just try find spare parts for Touch Diamond. I itself used seller named gsm4world.

Thanks but hard to explore site if its only on one lang and you dont know it.
It true that it is a bit hard to read dutch, but easy to find the right phone, and were you have to look for (onderdelen) that are the inner part of the phone
I find out that the coaxial cable are out of the store on the moment. i can not find them Anny more.
TRY HERE
For Coaxial try also parts4repair.com and search for bluetooth antenna and not for wifi (which are the same anyway).
For me the solution of using coaxial from Diamond did'nt work.
Hope this will...
Cheers

I require a car charger with 2 mini USB connectors to charge both my GPS and Hermes. Can anyone suggest a supplier please?
Do a ebay search for "car splitter" when i do i get about 31 results as im in australia.

Just watch out not to play bendies with the cord as mine is now playing up cause i bent it too far but otherwise it works great.
I've not seen a Y-Cable as such..
You can get a cigarette lighter adapter with 2 USB sockets coming out of it, that would do what you want as well.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dual-Port-USB...ryZ14968QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks to Nick for ur reply but i'm trying to keep the amount of accessories I carry with me down to a minimum so that isn't what I am after.
Thanks sam for ur suggestion, i had spotted one of those before making the post but it wasn't exactly what i was looking for.
Finally thanks very much butpatbut for that link. It meant i actually took the time to read the listing rather than just eliminating it but looking at the picture like I had been doing while trawling ebay before posting the question. It turns out that is exactly what i am after, problem solved.
Thanks again ppl.

You can find a mini-USB power Y cable here:
http://pc-mobile.net/dcadapter.htm
While it will work with Holux, it will not work with Tytn unless you add the mini-USB intelligent power adapter.
Does anybody know if this solution is going to work:
http://www.buygpsnow.com/universal-...dell-x51v-etc-charging-tip-available-856.aspx
They have an optional mini USB tip (p/n DC-S100) that can be attached to the non-usb lead of power supply. Thus we are going to have a dual power adapter with 2 mini usb leads. The only question: is this going to work with TyTn?
Hi All,

But, most probably you can't get a new main board from ebay. I doubt even HTC has them. Changing a new main board is essentially like changing the whole phone, no?
Hello if your mainboard has gone wrong send it to HTC. The mainboard on my HD packed up I got in touch with HTC UK http://www.htc.com/uk/ (go to support and phone them up) they picked the phone up a week ago Tuesday tested the phone/fitted a new mainboard and sent it back, got it back last Wednesday. Fixed for free, very polite and very helpful
Jez
the problem is that my device felt to the ground after 2 months :S Then i got my screen repaired but not by htc since it is not warranty. The device still resets every now and then, so i try to fix it myself... that's why i need these spare parts... so suggestions still welcome!
nobody?
The only possible place to get a new mainboard will be htc.com. Also why a gps cable when the touch has built in gps. jez

am looking for the same part a friend found this.. ebay item 190342978567 am gonnd try it out soon!
Has anyone come across a cigarette lighter mount for the GSM TP2 that will also charge the device? It has to be for the GSM version as the CDMA ones have their usb port mounted slightly to the left of center where the GSM versions are mounted.
I found two different ones so far. One is a universal one made by Arkon and seems to be less sturdy than it should be. It has a pass-through 12v port to plug in a charger to it. It only concerns me that the way it is made, it seems to not be sturdy enough based on the reviews.
The other one is made by iGrip and is pretty nice. It is made for the TP2, but it has no power option at all. If this would have a charging port on it, it would be perfect.
Anyone else seen any other options?
here in the netherlands you can buy them and they support paypal if im correct

I use this: http://www.bracketron.com/products/universal-usb-power-dock
I got it from Radio Shack with a 1 year warranty just in case. I did have it break on me but that's because I wasn't using it right. I was within the 30 day return period so i returned it an got a new one. If you do get it make sure you press the red button when adjusting the angle. I would still recommend ti since it has everything I was looking for. I doubt you'll be able to have the keyboard open, but why would you need it open while driving?

I'm still searching for something similar. I like that one, I'm just worried about having the charging cable hanging out of it. The plug only needs to be a standard USB plug. I would imagine there would be another phone or device that would require something of this sort. Also, I don't need the keyboard open while using this.

Yea that's what I initially wanted when I set out my search but ended up settling for this. My apologizes on accusing you of wanting to use the keyboard while driving. After re-reading your op I didn't see that mentioned like I thought I did before. For charging my phone I use one of these pretty good quality and it comes with a micro usb adapter which i liked since a lot of newer phones are using this. Best wishes on your search!!

Hmmmm..... That combined with the universal mount you posted might actually work nicely. I was concerned about my current HTC car charger as it has a rather long cord. This would likely eliminate that mess. I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
Anyone know where I could find a short miniUSB to USB cable. Something like 2" or so would be fine. This might be able to complete the homebrew mount I'm working on.
Short USB Cable
Amazon.com has a 1ft cable (can't post links yet) and 3 ft cables, although I haven't seen any 2ft cables. If you need 2ft you could pick up a gender changer (also available on amazon) and link two 1ft cables together.

That's a 2" (inch) cable I am looking for. Thanks anyway, though. I'm hoping I won't have to make one. Making USB cables is not fun.
Please help, I miss my tablet.I had the common problem with the power thingy inside the tablet going out so i opened it to solder but did not fix.So i ordered the charging dock and waited for a month and a half.I get it today and was so excited to only plug it it and got power and charging everything is perfect,i go to swipe over on my arrow to unlock the screen and nothing!I have no touch controls on screen what so ever.But the soft keys work,they do not do me any good but they work.The home key takes me to my home page and mag glass goes to the internet.Does any body have any ideas of what could have happened or what i can do to fix this,please????

First, check for disconnected or loose cables inside the gTab.
Next, if it isn't a HW fault like loose cables, then connect the USB cable to the gTab and run this ADB command (you will have to install and set up ADB if you haven't already done so):
Code:
C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell "echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch/calibration"[/B]

I assume since you didn't send in under warranty for the power connector that it's no longer under warrantly!
Exactly where is the break? Close to (or at) one of the connectors? Which end (motherboard end or digitizer end) of the cable? Obviously closness to the connector makes it more difficult. I have seen a post where another use had the break pretty close to the connector & fixed it though.

I totally forgot that i made a youtube video yesterday,here is the address http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFNRtDhr5EQ I have been so stressed out about getting my gtab back it slipped my mind.Oh, the broken end is what plugs under the silver area not under the brown area.

If you magnify the digitizer circuit (lower photo in the pdf) you will see the label for each of the lines in the cable. Assuming the lines run straight thru, it looks like the ones that broke are the power & ground to the circuit (VSS & GND). That would explain the touch screen not working at all.
Hard to tell from the video where the breakis, but it looks real close to the connector.
Your best bet may be looking for someone who has a broken digitizer (outer glass) or gTab and is selling it for parts. I looked in the Marketplace forum here on XDA & there is one non working gtablet someone is asking $55 for. I also saw another one up for bid on ebay ($40 latest bid). You my have to ask if the cable is good on them.
Not a whole lot of options for repair. As you've already experienced, the cable is small & fragile.
If the connector has removable pins then you could remove the pins, solder the wire to it & reinsert the pins, BUT from the picture it doesn't look like they are removeable.
You could solder the 2 wires to the pins coming out the back of the socket but they look too small to easily solder to.
The last option would be to rigg the cable to work. There are a couple of possibilites but I would rather you consider the other options before suggesting a repair of the cable itself. If you can, see if you can take a closeup, high res photo of the back fo the connector where the wire broke. PM me & I'll send you my email address to send it too.

Hi,
I recently replaced my usb flex cable, and my signal has been very weak ever since. I have tried loosening the screws and removing the small wire (aerial) and putting it back on, but my signal is still very very poor. Has anyone else had this problem after disassembly?
It may not be relevant but i'll mention it anyway. The screwdriver I used had a slight magnetic charge, just enough to pick up the screws. Could this have damaged something?
I'm on O2 UK and have tried other O2 aims, but to no avail. I have also tried my sim in other phones and signal improves greatly. I noticed it instantly after reassembling the phone so whatever has changed, happened during the course of replacing the usb flex cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing the signal to be so consistently weak? Would it be worth replacing the wire antenna?
I have taken this apart and put it back together countless times, trying to see if there was a loose connection etc, but have had no luck so far. I even put a bit of folded tinfoil between the usb flex cable and the contact under the battery to try and help the connection. I've completely run out of ideas.

I think you just disrupt the antenna. Sending it to a customer service repairs should be a good choice
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
As I bought it from Ebay IE, I have no warranty, so will have to pay to have it repaired. i was hoping to have a go myself, however there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of information out there regarding this problem. I have found a replacement antenna for £3 so I might try that, however I'm not sure that is the problem as the antenna looks in good condition and was only disconnected briefly.
Edit: Oh and thanks for the reply
send it to service center...

Thanks, but it wasn't an app that caused the change, so I am reluctant to use an app to try and work around a proper fix.
Having read awful reviews for my local repair shop, I have just purchased a replacement antenna to try and repair it myself. It cost £3.00 so I'll fit it as soon as it arrives. If that doesn't work I will HAVE to take it to be repaired :-(

I had same problem as you.
After changing USB flex PCB my network signal just vanished.
Fortunately I found solution for my problem.
Problem was in slightly different PCBs and after unsoldering one SMD element my phone is back with strong signal.
Anyway here are the pictures:

I have the same problem...
How did you remove the SMD?
Magnetic screwdriver
Just FYI, magnetic screwdrivers do not cause any damage to electronic circuits and are generally safe to use.

Top man.......
Usb port broke so replaced it and had a very weak signal. after hours of checking everything, flashing roms, taking phone apart, 3 different usb boards and a massive headache. I followed your guide and now have strong signal again. Was nearlly at a point where phone was going to be scrapped. Thankyou

You are a life saver! I was about to trash my S2. I got it used with usb and sound problems for about 130 euro. Swapped parts but had crappy signal. The signal was bad before to which I also bought new antenna. Network signal never worked properly since acquiring the phone 2 weeks ago. Swapping modems never helped.
I still have the old USB board and it looks like exactly like the one I replaced. Thinking of the same thing you just did. Now my question to you, why didn't you remove the other SMD to make the boards match? I might try removing both on the old to compare signal levels.
Your info should be stickied!
Thanks again!
Tried that Trick but now I dont have any more signal at all...nowhere!
