[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihailow:
Hi Guys, just bought an HD7 and because i don't have much money i took it second hand , its full pack and it looks like new but of course there is something that went wrong - the camera isnt working , when launching the app it closes automatically without giving any message , i looked and found similar topic but i need help for some other things so i wrote this post

1. Is there any way to check when was my phone made? (year/month) i have IMEI and every other codes , found an imei decoder but it does not give any information about the production date , any help somebody?

2. The bigger problem the camera isnt working , i restarted the phone in 2 different ways - the standart and the second method with the hard keys (power off , on , and vol. up and down) nothing changed , im hoping the problem is software

I was thinking about installing different version , or rom , connected the phone , sync was ok , but the system was up to date so now i cant think of anything how to fix the camera...

The status of the system is:

HTC HD7 T9292

Software: Windows phone 7.5

OS version: 7.10.8107.79

Firmware revision number:2250.21.51101.401

Hardware revision number:0002

Bootloader version : 5.11.2250.0(134578)

Chip SOC version:2.2.5.0

If the camera will work with the stock original windows phone 7.0 rom can i go back to 7.0 , and this version of 7.5 installed in the moment is it official?

Also the level of brightness of the screen is very strange in windows phone 7.5 - only 3 levels , low medium and high , i want to put it in the level between low and medium to save battery , is there any app for that stuff

Thanks in advance guys

i don't have a definitive answer for your questions... but if you want to try a different Shipped ROM you'll need to downgrade your Bootloader below 5.xx. see the xspl tutorial in my signature. again, you only need to downgrade Bootloader in order to flash/try other Europe Shipped ROMs.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofeng80:
You could go to www.htc.com/support/online_chat/online_service.html ,input your IMEI and SN code to find out the production date of your phone.

Your camera: personally I suggest you flash any rom provided by this forum to see whether it can works well.

I had a similar problem my camera didnt work it did exactly what your did , i just pushed the camera module into the phone a bit hard and felt it go a bit down restarted the phone and now it works very good its a comon problem in the hd7! try it!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newabv:
What you mean to push the camera modul hard?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruyzalim:
I mean put your thumb in the camera in the back of the phone and push it down until you feel it goes a bit down , than it should conect, restart your phone then.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laofeng80:
Do you mean the camera is not properly installed?

What are the purposes of your smaetphone, what do you use it MOST for, don't list all the apps you have, just why for you have a smartphone, and why do you have it over other phones??

I use my P500 the most on:

- surfing (fast network, it makes me homework sometimes...)

- music (I just love that Android can let you listen to music while doing absolutely ANYTHING! Except games and videos of course

- games!!! 99% of the apps are free, and the others have demos, then alternative markets;) so why not use the market???

- I also love that most apps are a better alternative to desktop website, which are too complex on PC... simplified UI on Android;)

So, what do YOU use your smartphone for??

14.2 has the gpu OC'd to 250mhz while 15.1 has stock gpu speed of 200mhz. That's why 14.2 can have a noticable speed increase over 15.1 (and 1.0).

Currently on Devil 14.2 LED VC... no random reboot so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JesCed:
I've been on Team ICSSGS RC 4.1 since launch, and have tested performance on a few kernels so far. After the stock kernel, I flashed the Devil 1.0 BFS VC, then one of Paul's test kernels and am now using the famous Devil 14.2 LED VC.

So far, I have found the stock kernel stable, but laggy. Devil 1.0 is pretty fast, but gave me some occasional scroll lags, force closes and random reboots. Test kernel was fast, stable and responsive, but had a larger battery drain. Devil 14.2 has given me, by far, the fastest and most responsive experience, with no random reboots nor force closes. I've been on it only for around 12 hours, so I have no reliable info on battery drain.

In terms of user experience, my opinion on these kernels is:

Devil 14.2 > Test kernel > stock > Devil 1.0

The last two are pretty close, but I personally prefer laggy over unstable.
