Wow. Any sysadmin here care to share the process name(s) used to remotely turn on the webcam of a corporate laptop?
[Off-topic] 85gallon:
I don't think out of the box they are capable but most corporate computers have remote administration programs installed on them. It is the remote admin programs that are capable.
[Off-topic] xaccers:
Most if not all remote admin programs are more concerned with being able to log on remotely and see what's installed along with being able to install software and updates remotely.

No remote admin program I've used I the past 15 years has had the ability to turn on the webcam or microphone remotely.

[HD2 General] Tsury:
Hi you guys.

I opened my phone to repair the LCD screen and now the volume rocker isn't working.

I attached images of my phone, if you need other images I can take them.

I just don't know what to check... Should I just try to put a new volume ribbon? Would that be enough?

Any help will be most appreciated.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
can you feel the rocker button click ?

are the small pop caps still located on the volume switch points ! as they do fall off easily & are incredibly small.

volume is part of main flex board so lets hope it not damaged.
[HD2 General] Tsury:
Yes, I can feel the rocker click (I think so), but I'm not sure what you mean by the pop caps. What are these? Should I add am image of my rocker (the plastic button)?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
the little plastic domes that sit on the volume board with just a spot of tack glue holding them in place.

If all present & button feels correct & both up/down dead then possible you damaged flex ...
[HD2 General] Outlaw78a:
what can we do if were missing pop caps, can i somehow trigger that function with a screwdriver for example, how exactly do "pop caps work ?"
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Just a small conductive graphite pad in center that bridges 2 contacts on the button board when cap pressed down.
[HD2 General] tigger-gg:
On the picture you can see the little black dot, so they are still located.

:good: Oh yes, you are so right.

@ Tsury,

be sure that the main flex cable is connected to the main board.
[HD2 General] Tsury:
How do I check it? What other capability is the flex cable providing? The device is working, I can eliminate it in some other way probably.

You can use this guide to direct me: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-HTC-HD2-PB81120-Logic-Board/5919/1

Thanks a lot!
[HD2 General] tigger-gg:
If the main flex cable is not connected to the main board, loudspeaker sound and vibration do not work.

You could buy new ones, e.g.:

or

[HD2 General] Tsury:
I guess I should buy a new flex first?
[HD2 General] tigger-gg:
Open your HD2 again and connect the main flex cable on the main board. And dont forgett to unlock the tastatur flex cabel. I have forgotten it twice :crying: it tears very easily.

Have you edit your last post? First you have written that the sound and vibration also do not work.
[HD2 General] Tsury:
Yes, I edited it and forgot to re-add it!

My vibration and speaker indeed doesn't work.
[HD2 General] Tsury:
What is the minimum I need to tear down in order to check it?

There are too many steps in this guide (remove vibrator/gps/bluetooth/camera).
[HD2 General] tigger-gg:
You have to do all steps (1-22) of this giude http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-HTC-HD2-PB81120-Logic-Board/5919/1
[HD2 General] Tsury:
What do I do with the big battery sticker in step 17? Just throw it away?
[HD2 General] tigger-gg:
No, dont throw it away. You have to put it back when you assemble your device.

Maybe this will help you too:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sag365:
It seems Best Buy's online site has taken down the Prime. Chapagne version says "Coming Soon" and Gray says "In Store Only." However, I have checked nearly every store in Florida and they all say "Unavailable" for the Gray version.

Thought it had been discussed that Asus would continue to make the Prime even when the Infinity launched?

Also, has Best Buy decided to return all of its Prime stock in aticipation of the Infinity's arrival? Strange becuase I thought the plan was to price reduce the Prime $100 or so. Weird.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartyHulskemper:
I think they just said that to keep up the illusion that the Prime was a viable and technically sound machine (for why would you retire it otherwise?). It was rumored months ago that the 32 GB Infinity would start shipping as soon as stocks of Primes ran out. If they would continue selling the Prime, that criterion would never have been satisfied, now, would it? ;)

At the price the TF700 is currently selling, no one is his/her right mind would take the plunge with a Prime and run the risk of WiFi issues, in addition to the well-known dysfunctional GPS.

But that might just be me. And my $0.02. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
Maybe there waiting to sell it with Jelly Bean right out of the box. That would appeal to a lot of people.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KilerG:
I'm hoping to pick mine up at Best Buy...

EDIT: Strange, I'm looking at it on the Best Buy website and it says the store closest to me (where I'm staying for vacation) doesn't have any. Yet, I was there yesterday and played with one. They did have a sign up that said "New Tablet Coming soon." I was wondering what would be there...but they had the Prime and the 300 there, so I'm not sure if they would display the Infinity or the Nexus 7 in that spot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnjr08:
I called my local Best Buy, and they said they won't have the Infinity until the end of the month. She acknowledged that it is being released tomorrow, but they still won't have any until the end of the month.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] KilerG:
I'm going to call the Best Buy here too, see what I can dig up. Where do you live?

EDIT: Just called. The lady had no idea. I don't think she knew what I was asking about...she was looking it up on their website I think. I'll have to wait until monday probably.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnjr08:
I live in the south Chicago suburbs. She told me that "The computer manager told her they won't be in until the end of the month."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mr_skot:
Might I suggest you check out CowBoom which is Best Buys refurbished site. It's where I bought my Prime. Even registered it with Asus and got the GPS accessory.

I took a look and they had quite a few in stock for $299. You can also check online for coupons to use.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] k8500:
I am currently trying to make working core patches for XXLD2. By core patch, I mean a PFS file that swaps out all libraries in OSP and SHP with alternatives from a different (new) FW. There's a number of problems with that (Bada security, different RBM files, Social Hub Premium compatibility...) which I already solved.

Now, my patches consist of one RC1 file (basically unchanged from the new FW) and one PFS file (containing all SO files from the new FW). If I just flash it like that everything works fine, but calls are not working.

If I additionally flash amss.bin from the new FW, calls are working again, but all connection profiles are gone, meaning no app can connect to the internet via packet data anymore. Duh :-/. None of the two (flashing amss.bin or not) is an alternative.

If you want to take a look, you may download my current release of core patches from here. ANLD1, BOLE1, XELF1 patches included.

Does anyone have an idea how to get this to work properly? Keep in mind that the whole idea is upgrading without dataloss, so doing preconfig or master reset after flashing is not really an option.

Honestly there isn't a better one than the OEM battery without going to an oversized battery.

So my old gnex got exposed to minor water (vzw version). Neither of the tabs got exposed but the charging port was a little rusty. It no longer charged.

So I spend 700, put insurance on, and I have a new one. Two months later it won't charge. I bend up the little tab in the USB port and now its better. (Should have been manufactured a little tighter I guess). So now I go to the old rusty one, bend it up, now charges fine. I'm the proud owner of two nexii. Guess once I get elf_begin.c to stop throwing an error on the jb source I'll have a flashing device. Lesson? If it won't charge bend the tab. Mine will probably break with my luck soon.

I although I can afford to spend the 700.00 for a new phone..it makes no sense to do so with so many great deals out there. You just have to look and be patient. I equate this to my previous cars...I have only purchased one new vehicle, right after college. That was a mistake that I won't make again. There's nothing wrong with getting a vehicle with 30k miles on it. Good luck with your gnex.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donniestarko:
Can someone be a little more specific with the bending procedure? Sorry for the dumb question I just don't want to damage the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phydo:
If you look in the USB port, there's a little flat thing. If that thing gets pushed too far towards the bottom, it doesn't make proper contact with the charger.

I just stuck a knife in there and bent it up a bit. Not a lot . If you push it up too far the connector won't go in. If you're really paranoid, take the battery out of the phone so you don't short anything. And just slowly push it up. It only took a little bit for me to fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klone96:
I got the Nexus i9250 (white/Unlocked) for $664.59 a couple weeks after release but i also been having problems with the prong.. some times it charges sometimes it doesn't but the annoying thing is this, i would have the lightning bolt inside the battery showing it was charging and it would say charging/battery level on the lock screen even when it wasnt plugged in ! now after bending it it goes and comes but when its not charging and i turn the screen off it turns it self on as if i connected the charger.. i was thinking i can do the following..

1, take it to Sprint/verizon and ask if they can replace the usb port i and pay out of pocket, but if they charge over $75 i might as well call the insurence company and have a replacement for that price..

2, buy a landscape charging dock but then i cant sync the phone to computer..

i cleaned inside incase it had dirt or anything was bent but nothing.. ANY IDEA WHAT I SHOULD DO ?? tia

Thanks for the tip, this worked for me. I've had my Galaxy Nexus for close to two years now and have just recently started having trouble with charging.
