Volume of people with Broken Connectors

[Matt Ryan]

Is it me or is this part simply a peice of poor design and manufacturing?

How is it that hundreds of people and thousands of threads could have been produced by a "fit for purpose" bit of kit.

Is there nothing we as users can do to insist that the manufacturers recall and replcae these obviously fragile connectors.

O2 shop told me it was my fault and the damage was caused by "rough handling" but surely we can all of done this "rough handling" bit??

Are there any legal bods out there who can check this out???

i know its the XDA2's design because.......

how many posts have you seen......

XDA 1 connector fell off or spv connector damaged, spv e200 connector fell off......

well i can say ive seen none what so ever.


i just got my xda 2 back from my mate who had a go at putting it back on he done a good job but it doesnt charge with the house charger no more but does with the car charger so no worries i even put superglue all around the conenctor to make sure its not comming off again

there must be something we can do to get them sorted because its deffently a design fault

Actually it happens fairly often with XDA1s too. I've seen it happen a lot more frequently with XDA1s than with XDA2s but that could be because the XDA1 has been out a lot longer :)

Broken connector happened to my first I-Mate, for the record. Bad design I think.

I agree about the connector issue. My XDA I needed 'repairing' several times, before I just bought a new motherboard to replace it!

So far, my XDA II hasn't suffered the same fate, but I have learned to be VERY careful with that connector.
