hey MikeChannon i have this camera problem too..unable to start camera unable to initialize camera.but before i got this warnings my camera took pics like black and white stripes.then went off.i did what you did in pics but nothing changed.help me please
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
The problem with giving advice on this is that without testing it, it's difficult to be sure where the problem lies.

I would take out the camera module again. Thoroughly clean the contacts - perhaps even with a mildly abrasive emery paper. (afterall it's not working anyway so not much to lose).

If that fails then I suspect the camera module needs replacing, BUT it might be a fault on the board it plugs into. For this reason it's probably more cost efficient to buy a camera module fro a Hermes that's being parted out for spares rather than buying a new camera.

Excellent posts! Do you know if the 8125 camera will work in the 8525?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Sorry, I don't know. I have my doubts that it would work and the two cameras have different specs. I think. You could check the Service Manuals for each to compare.

Thanks for the timely reply. I don't have access to the service manuals but I did look at the 8500 replacement parts lists and the camera was not listed. What is the going rate for a used 8500 unit for parts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I imagine the prices vary quite a lot. Why not ask this guy:

I was just informed that there was an 8500 which was an 8525 without a camera? Does the camera have any supporting motherboard hardware on this phone? Can I just drop in an 8525 camera unit?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Don't know, but if you use the 8525 manual to dismantle the 8500 (nothing major just back cover removal and scroll wheel board), then you will have your answer. Under the scroll wheel board should be a push in multi-connector for the camera. See pics above.

You would also need the camera software - but that's floating around here.

Wouldn't I need both 8500 and 8525 motherboards to compare?

pyraxiate

Thanks for the offer but I just picked up an 8500 with charger and headset for $15. Fair value is a descending line with the current economy and rate of obsolescence. I'll pm an offer and hope you don't get insulted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
You'd need to look under the Scroll wheel board on the 8500 to see if the multi-connector socket is present but unused. You can predict what it looks like by looking at the camera connector on page one of this thread. I think there is a good possibilitythat it is there because I have heard that in models with no front camera, the board does have the socket and a camera can be installed. Of course the problem is that you'd need a new rear cover.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
There are camera tweaks - I'd have to do searches on "camera fix" etc to find them. Have a look around, but remember, the Hermes camera is one that really only works well in good sunlight.

Hi i have also had the same problem with the hermes camera, drained the battery in no time! Dismantled removed the camera module three or four times as Mike suggested still no success. So i decided to remove the camera completely as i hardly used it anyway. Battery life is back up and it doesn't seem to have any adverse side effects. Hope this helps keep your Hermes alive
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travis23832:
Hello. I need some help with my dad's phone. He's had it for about a year and it suddenly rebooted and is now going to the Setup Wizard as if this phone is brand new. He tried entering his email and password numerous times but cannot get beyond the setup. We are sure he was entering it correctly because I went over to help and we can login to his Gmail just fine on the computer. He called Verizon and they said "there is something wrong with the phone" and sent him a new one.

We have to return the old phone, but before he does so he wants to know if I can recover photos that are on the phone. When I connect the phone to my computer I see a folder called SM-G928V but it is empty.

Is there any way to help him get his photos off the phone? No, they were not backed up online. I just set that up on his new phone.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffieux:
Hello,

I recently bought a Huawei Mate 8 phone and I am in principle very happy with it. There is however this calendar bug which, as a business user, drives me crazy:

My phone is synchronized with my professional Google Apps account and all synchronizaton works fine in principle. However, from time to time it just randomly cancels appointments and the invitees receive proper cancellation messages. At the time of the cancellation not other computer or phone was accessing the Google Calender and sometimes the calendar app on the Huawei phone was not even open!! Google Apps support clearly could identify the Huawei device issuing the cancellation.

Huawei support is not really very responsive so far, so I was hoping that some of you already made the same experience and even better could fix it :)

Thanks a lot

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] neminem_:
So, I'm obviously not remotely an expert when it comes to Android mods, but I'm finally fed up with being stuck on Android 4.1 - since it doesn't appear we'll ever get any upgraded qwerty phones ever again, I figured I'd try diy'ing it.

I have successfully flashed TWRP, rooted the phone, and installed what I believe(?) to have been the most recent version of CM11 (I figured it'd be cleanest to keep the phone closer to what it was designed for - I've seen tons of apps require 4.4 at minimum, not too many that require 5+): cm-11-20150626-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO1L8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip. Was the most recent version I could find, anyway?

I booted it up and for the most part, everything seemed to be working. Everything except Chrome, which crashes reliably and immediately. I tried clearing all the caches (the app's cache + data, and the phone's, from recovery), uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome, I tried the beta version (crashes), I tried a fork, Brave (crashes). Other browsers are working fine, but I like Chrome.

One weird thing I did notice: I was thinking it might be a gapps issue, but weirdly, the Play store, gmail, maps, everything else just installed and seem to work out of the box before I did anything with gapps? I did also try flashing the most recent base 4.4.4 gapps zip from what I could tell (gapps-444-base-20170209-1-signed.zip), but I'm not sure how to tell if it actually did anything? It said it flashed successfully, but (other than having to wait for all my apps to recalculate because I cleared all the caches), nothing noticeably seemed to change on the front-end as a result, and yes, Chrome still crashes. Should I be using a different gapps install than that for the Photon Q? Or anything else I should check/try? Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] neminem_:
Yay! Answered my own question, with sufficient digging! :D

Answer seems to be basically: the newest version of Chrome (v55) exposed some sort of weird incompatibility with CM, so the easy fix is just not to use it, at least for now. I sideloaded Chrome v54, and it stopped crashing, yay! Source: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70762641&postcount=198
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Just FYI, the latest version available for this device is CM13.

They are working on Lineage.

Edit - seems you found the CM13 thread already ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] neminem_:
Yep - I'm glad to see people other than (and smarter than) myself recognize the Photon Q's unique place as being the final and, sadly, best qwerty slider available for our use, and that it therefore needs to be actively maintained even if Motorola won't... I just figured it'd be better to use an OS closer to the one the device was intended to be used with. Once I'm done testing CM11 out on my old half-working phone (re-purposed to a test phone) and push it to my new fully-functional one, I will probably at some point upgrade that first phone to the latest to try it out (probably once a Lineage build comes out, so I can be on a build that's actively being maintained). For right now, though, I figured I'd stick with CM11. Any case, looks like CM13 exposed the same Chrome issue, anyway. ;)

It's not going to fast change since it's 5v and not 9v like the OEM charging block.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] egghead221:
Thanks. I mistakenly thought if it could fast charge a Pixel or 6p, it would fast charge the Mate 9. It does seem to be charging faster than a standard charger so that's good at least.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] y2k1ltd:
No, the Mate 9 uses Huawei proprietary super charging technology and he accessories today don't have it. We have to wait for more devices from Huawei to come out or companies are given the ability to use their tech.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] egghead221:
Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be able to get super charging speed, but I thought it would be able to reach fast charging or whatever the middle speed is called.

The OEM Supercharge charger is also only 5v. It runs at a higher amperage, not a higher voltage.

You are not losing your mind. It is charging slower. I thought there was a fix on this thread. I guess not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] MaXKilleR:
The latest Samsung firmware that comes with Nougat seems to charge very conservatively, based on my tests before and after with a USB Volt/Amp/Watt meter of my S7 Verizon and T-Mobile varient.

I used to see ~9v/1.6a/14w from my quick charger with the screen off or on. Now I see ~5v/1a/5w with the screen on, ~9v/1a/9w with the screen turned off and switching in and out to ~9v/1.6a/14w when keeping the screen off over time.

On Marshmellow, my phones used to get from warm to hot very often, but now it gets slightly warm at worst.

During boot I do see ~9v with the screen on until I reach the home screen.

I imagine this it to protect the lifetime of the battery and avoid Note7 fires.

I am not too happy with this because the phone can't charge fast while driving with GPS and screen on. I noticed that (when driving) if the battery is under 90%, the best any charger can do is keeping it at the same battery level. So now I aim to charge my battery fully before any drive. It is good that the battery will last longer since it cannot be replaced.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbiondo90:
Hello, friends.

I accidentally dropped my phone, causing the screen completely going black (not even the backlight is turning ong), and i think not even the touchscreen is working. When I connect it via usb, the phone shows in my computer, but nothing is in there because I'm supposed to unlock it and confirm the usb access. Unfortunately, adb access is off so I've not found any software helping me.

Do you know if there is a way for me to recover the data? Maybe a custom recovery rom that automatically mounts the storage via usb on boot?

Thanks for the help!
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SecretPotatoChip:
On 2/22/17, my turbo 2 froze and went into a bootloop. I didn't flash anything, root it, or do anything that might void the warranty. After it froze, it went into a boot loop and would not turn on. It would freeze at the motorola logo, and even during recovery mode. The phone would still show some signs of life, but it progressively got worse and worse as time went on. Now, I can't get anything out of it. Even when i plug it in, it doesn't show a battery icon.

I tried charging the phone with the original charger and off of my computer-Nothing.

I tried a wireless charger-Nothing.

I tried power+volume down-Nothing.

I tried holding the power button for a long time-Nothing.

I tried power+volume up-Nothing

I tried all 3 buttons-Nothing.

I tried plugging it in as soon as i pressed the buttons - nothing.

This never happened to me before, and I really don't know what caused it.

Well you could maybe get it working on a TouchWiz based custom ROM, possibly with some legal issues, but not on CM/LOS.

Hello there everyone, hope you guys are doing great. Well, this thread might be a bit stupid at first since many others might have posted something related to it but since I couldn't find the exact answer, I had to post a newer thread.

I have a Fire Phone which used to run great and perfect and I had been using it the other day while charging it with an Aspor Powerbank which does run great. The Fire Phone got stuck due to a few NOT FOR THE FIRE PHONE apps such as the Instagram and the rest. When stuck, I held the power button for 10-15 seconds to do a reset and it did work while it was still on charging. Now the phone wouldn't turn on without the AC power via the USB. It gets stuck in a boot-loop. Just shows the Amazon logo and restarts again. Nothing works at all, not even the recovery mode or the rest or even resets without the USB plugged in.

I did try to upgrade but was of no use at all, did try the Cynogen OS by flashing it in. It didn't work at all and the same issue persists. I have removed the battery and plugged it back in but again of no use. The battery does charge if you think it's the battery, The battery does stay there active and great. I did try changing the USB cable and the Adapter. Nothing!

One more thing, when plugged in to AC, I can go to the Recovery Mode and then remove the USB cable, the Recovery Mode does stay active on battery power for countless hours. What should I do?

Is it the USB port? Is the battery? Or is it just me?
