[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno_Be:
Hi,

thank you for reading this post

I'm in trouble with my htc desire.

I've serached around the forum and web for a solution, without success

I have a HTC desire rooted phone. I've been using reduc for a while now.

I updated to the latest redux 1.2 with tom mangager (as usual)

I don't know what went wronf but I'm stuck on the boot white HTC screen

I've tried recovery and it didn't work (I've tried to rename redux 1.1 into update.zip etc) I still get the red triangle error scren

At this moment I have no phone and no solution...

What can I do,

is it "bricked"?

Thank you for helping me out

Regards

Bruno
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokku:
I had the same problem earlier, when 1.2 was released. It really messed up my phone. I had to use my backup to get to older Redux. I was really afraid to update it again, but after a couple of weeks I tried again and it worked just fine. It was strange.

So if you have any backups, revert. If you don't have any, try to wipe cache and data and flash the Redux Rom again.

If that fails too, download a new ROM with your PC, move it to your phone and flash that. I hope you get your phone to work!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno_Be:
Hi

I always do a backup with rom manager before flashing.

Problem : the backup is a 6 x *.img files folder

And how do I recover it?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruno_Be:
Hi

I found the solution

I just had to acess the clockworkmodrecovery by presssing volup + power once into HBOOT (accessed with vol down power) before

Once in the good recovery the update.zip file was working and i recovered my backup made before flashing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokku:
Yep, that's the way. Good thing you got it figured out. I haven't used ROM Manager, I always flash new ROM's through recovery. You should try to download Redux 1.2 directly from Ihaldes' homepage, check the MD5 and then flash it through recovery. Maybe that works better than the ROM Manager?

[General Questions and Answers] threebody:
hello everyone

I am working on a project requiring me to produce IR images from a cell phone camera. I understand that in most cell phone cameras, the IR light is filtered out to produce better pictures in the visible light. Does anyone know if this is done by putting a physical filter in of the optical path, or it is removed as an image process?

Also, I managed to open one cell phone I have and it looks to me the camera is a single CCD chip with a glass housing on top of it. Does anyone know if there is any online tutorial to show me how to dissemble the camera if a hardware modification is needed?

a third question, what are the companies that produced these CCDs for cell phones? I am particularly interested in the ones supply for iphone or newer android smartphones.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
I've yet to come across a phone camera which filters out IR.

They're very handy for checking if car plips/TV remotes are working.
[General Questions and Answers] dquille:
I've seen howto's on removing the ir filter on USB webcams. Some are simple "remove this and a little ir filter sheet will fall out" and some require grinding away at the lens and then repolishing. Good luck on your camera project, hope you find out good news like xaccers suggests.
[General Questions and Answers] Hamsn:
The camera on smartphone is just a single unit with sensor and lens together, disassembling is quite a task or does it even contain the filter?

Try using a TV remote or any other infrared device in front of the smartphone camera.
[General Questions and Answers] tolis626:
No,there is no IR filter on smartphone's cameras pal.

Look at this video and see that there is a second light on that Desire HD at the place of the proximity sensor,which emits IR I think.Plain proof that there is no filter. :)
[General Questions and Answers] NuclearEMP:
im am sorry to say that you are all wrong. all digit cameras including cell phone cameras have IR filters.

they are there to reduce IR light not block it. this is why you are able to see flashing IR leds on remotes. by removing the filter though the leds would be far brighter.

IR light washes out images on ccd and cmos sensors the the filters are in place to reduce this effect.

but as once mentioned it will be quite difficult to remove from a mobile sensor as the lenses sit within the autofocus chamber and would probably be damaged during removal.
[General Questions and Answers] r3dm4il:
yup totally correct.. the ir filter is with in the lense/autofocous chamber and will most likely ruin the sensor if you try to remove it. i tried it on the s7. had to buy replacement camera. in older smartphone cameras the ir filter was easier to remove.. lates phone cameras the ir filter is sandwich between lenses chamber an sensor.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumpingsheep5:
I just bought a class 10 16GB for my Nook Color. I'm running CM7.0.2 on EMMC right now and I'm interested in running HC on the SD card. Is it possible to use the newest SDK build by Divine_Madcat of the SD card? If not, what should I download? Do I need a 16GB image for my microSD card?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Is it also possible to use the rest of the space on the SD card after installing HC on it for data?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MS3FGX:
DM's build of Honeycomb doesn't currently have an official SD version, but racks11479 has prepared a version (for RC1/RC2 at least, don't think he has updated with RC3) which can be installed to SD:

Once you have that up and running, you should theoretically be able to expand the SDcard partition on the card with software like EASUS Partition Manager.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peurocs4:
So, can I use ROM "MIUI I9000 v1.5.6" on my captivate "SpeedMod i879 500hz"???

I know MIUI for Captivate is already out on the site, but MIUI upgrades for captivate isn't fast as I9000's upgrades...

I want to make sure it is oriented correct way, so I don't have to turn MY head in order to read my phone...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No you will need to use a different kernel for it. You will also need to update your bootloader as the MIUI is 2.3.3 based so make sure to back up!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Come to the thread, ask away. You can flash the i9000 updates but it us a bit more involved because of some sensors that have to be changed out. I flash the i9000 updates all the time

sigh...

480 for the phone + 83 border charges = 1 week of a cool phone that slipped out of my hand :( Dell does have an out of warranty service for 250 bucks, not sure if i should use it.
[Venue Pro General] Paradoxxx:
Wow, sad story:-\
[Venue Pro General] raremage:
Wow, what happened? Just a straight soft drop, or did you sort of wave your arm and it slipped out for an extended flight? Onto what surface?

I've dropped mine in the house a couple of times (mostly onto carpet, but at least once onto tile) with no damage, thankfully.

I have not heard of anyone doing screen replacements on the DVP yet.

I'd probably pay the $250. You certainly can't use it as is, and you're going to be hard pressed to buy another smartphone for that. Or, you could always check eBay I suppose.
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
I walked up to my car, went to take my coat off so i grabbed the dvp out of my pocket and as i did it slipped out of my hand hit the plastic body kit just below the door frame and then hit the ground. from the kit to the ground is 6 inches. I didn't throw it, or intentionally drop it, it literally just slipped out of my hand.

And looking in to this I've been doing a little research on gorilla glass. Check these out. Ohh and btw we should all note that Gorilla glass is made by Corning, not some two bit company.

[Venue Pro General] NeverSummer07:
Square Trade's warranty is better and cheaper. If your new device is within 90 days of purchase, they'll cover it. They usually have 20-30% off coupon flowing around.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
so much for the gorilla glass
[Venue Pro General] Bongo2k:
I'd say that was a defective unit, gorilla glass wouldn't do that from such a short distance.

I've seen a video on youtube where a guy tests the gorilla glass on the Galaxy S and it took a drop from his shoulder ~6 feet to do that.

I'm fully aware the construction is different but the damage shouldn't have been that severe.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Gorilla glass is good at not being scratched too easily, but it isn't designed to withstand lots of sudden impact like dropping. This is why you see iPhones (which I'm sure has it) shattered to hell regularly.
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
This is the video I was trying to share and at 1:08 into the video they show gorilla glass bouncing (literally) though it does land flat and not on a corner, so not sure how much that makes a difference.

Corning - Gorilla Glass Werbespot

Plus today i was at work and had a few minutes to kill so with the plastic butt of a exacto blade i tapped a chunk of glass that wasn't broken and it shattered with a lot less force than some of the things they do in the video.

SO i'm not exactly 100% convinced it is gorilla glass on the DVP.
[Venue Pro General] Bongo2k:
The video I saw says otherwise...
[Venue Pro General] raremage:
Actually the iPhone does not have Gorilla Glass. It's a reinforced and (supposedely) stronger material, but it is not the Corning product.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Doesn't really matter now does it. Slights phone is shattered. Mine too shattered from a fall from about mid thigh.

Dell would not replace it. TMO insurance would not cover it...well it would but only if I got a HD7 in return. So...broken is broken...regardless of what the video shows....

Lets say I am now incredibly careful when moving my phone...more than ever before.....
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
@alodar1

Do you still have pictures of the phone when it shattered? I've contacted Corning (ask for the gorilla glass group) and i've sent them the information and pictures of my phone and the story of what happened. If you want to contact them and do the same i'm asked them to investigate dell for falsely admitting to using a product that is possibly not what they say it is. If you can contact them today your complaint will go in with mine.

Here's my pic.....not sure I want to follow up...its been months. But feel free to use my pic if you wish, and if contacted I will tell the story.
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
Ohh i thought it was recently cause you only have 30 days i think. eitherway. If you could i'd still suggest sending them the photo, maybe the glass isn't. But if you can afford a replacement out of dell and get it under warrant I also got a ottercase out of them for making me wait during paperwork and shipping process.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I ordered my Dell in November, recieved it on Dec 21. It broke on Jan 4th. I ordered a new one on the 4th and recieved it at 8am on the 5th.

I then contacted Dell with pictures and stories by both phone and email. I recieved from them a screenshot of the post on the community site about replcing the Streak display...which basically said.....sorry... After 2 more phone calls...I gave up...it was a lost cause. Since I could afford the new phone, I didn't worry about it.

But...like it said...that was 4+ months ago. Any communication I do with either will be shut down because of time and the story will be lost. The value now is in hte historical evidence of the glass. Feel free to use the pic if it helps.
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
I'm so mad at DELL. This happened on the 7th and now almost a month later and they still can't figure out how to get a phone to me. It's so patherit it's almost laughable.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
If it weren't on the Dell Venue Pro you could bet Corning would have sued for an injunction a long time ago...

But that is pointless... The Dell Venue Pro is listed as having official Gorilla Glass by Corning themselves on Corning's website.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#featured-products

The point is still the same. Gorilla Glass is stronger than regular glass, but it is glass! Meaning it can withstand scratches better and some types of impact, but it can and will break like glass will under certain conditions...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
hi all,

I have backed up via recovery and titanium and wondering how to format/partition -

Should i do it thru recovery or use windoze?

Do I need ext partition?

Do i just copy everything from old card to new, I'd rather start off nice and new?

Are there any folders that i need to create or will the phone do so itself?

What about the internal SD - can/should i delete everything in there - I've noticed that with all the roms I've flashed and playing around I've done:) there is stuff from previous apps that I thought I got rid of but are still in the internal.

Does a factory reset not delete anything in here and if not, is it a safe place to store a backup taking into consideration space limitations?

TIA

You can use both google accounts in just about everything (incl. the Market), but it doesn't have any way to handle separate users in other apps.
