FINALLY!
I have an HTC HD2 which runs windows phone 6.5
Then I have a MIUI version of android gingerbread which I run from the SD card, its really good.
I just leave android running for weeks on end but if I need to reboot my phone it starts up in Windows Phone again.
The digitizer broke
it was getting harder to get the digitizer to work, a quick double click on the power (end) key would get it working but eventually it died.
So I took it apart, followed an HTC video of how to disassemble it and I bought a new LCD screen with digitizer but the digitizer was soldered on, not with a ribbon cable that goes into a little socket, but it was cheap.
I managed to fumble-finger that one to death
So, I bought another screen with digitizer and installed it, the digitizer was dead.... so I returned that one and got another one... I was a bit tired of taking it apart and putting it back together so I left it for a week then installed the 'new' (obviously second-hand) screen and the digitizer worked yay!!! but the screen would die after being left on for a while and then the screen completely died.... so I left it for a week, then I took the original LCD screen and put the new screen's digitizer on it, assembled it and presto, all working!
I did get a partial refund for that screen so all told it has cost me about 45 uk pounds to fix.
You have to be 'in the zone' and take really good care but it is possible to completely strip down the phone and take all the components out.
The camera is a little box with pins that fits in a square socket.
You need to have the patience of an angel
Now it all works and apart from a few scratches around the edges, its perfect.
At last I can get to work fixing my buggy BTInterface
Although I do now have a Momo8 tablet, chinese, wifi is not good, but still I couldn't really get to grips with doing development on it and use it mostly to see what the screens look like.
Now I'm fixed to continue development
