[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kenhas:
I got my htc cruise about ten days ago. Camera was working fine.

But four days ago, i got the message the camera could not be initialized. I read on this forum that it sometimes helped to remove the battery for about 15 minutes. So that's what i did. And guess what, it worked :) for about 1 day :(

Then i kept getting the message the camera couldn't be initialized. Removing the battery didn't help anymore.

Then i hoped a hard-reset would do the thrick. Windows reinstalled and everything went fine. But now the camera icon is missing from "Programs". I tried to start it by going to the photo album and pressing the camera icon. Nothing happened. Then i use file explorer to go to the exe file. I found the camera.exe file, i tapped it but nothing happens.

Anybody have a solution?

Camera issue

Hello,

I got this problem 5 days ago too... Very strange! Tried most of the procedures said here in the forum and none worked. The weirdest thing is that the camera just stopped working from one day to another, i clearly remember of not installing anything during those days.

I am very pissed about this issue! My problem is bigger: I bought it at UK while travelling and currently I live in Brazil (no support center around here).

Do you guys really think that its a hardware problem? How can that be if some other people already said here in the forum that a few days or weeks later, the camera went back on?

Anyone else can help us with this issue?

Regards

Try that one, worked everytime the issue happened for me:

Thats quite strange! My Storage Card is 40% free...

My problem is bigger now... After 2 weeks of "could not initialize" issue, my camera simply doesnt start anymore... I tried to lauch the application directly from the camera.exe but it doesn´t work either...

Don´t know what else to do...

radio rom upgrade?

did you upgrade your radio rom to 1.64.08.21 ?

if your answer is "yes" you should downgrade to Murata radio rom (1.58.21.23) ..

don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade.. :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] grgomes:
No. I use the original Radio ROM (1.58.21.23).

I dont wanna try to change the ROM yet in case I need to send it to service.

I tried to install the Nadavi New HTC Camera and didn´t help in any way. But I noticed that, after uninstalling this patch, the camera exe files went back to the old versions. I tried to uninstall them (the original ones) or delete them in the File Explorer, even in safe mode, and windows mobile wouldnt let me.

Kenhas, looks like Im in the same point as you (exe is not working either). Did you happen to make yours work?

Any other soul could help us in here? (btw thanks for the help given by everybody!)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] boldbull:
have you tried to delete the /DCIM directory from your storage card and soft reset ?

if your exe is broken you probably need to hard reset.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] grgomes:
I formatted my storage card (8 gb) and soft reset... no deal :)

My exe is broken now. Do you really think the hard reset now is going to fix it? Before I had the "unable to initialize device", now I don´t have anything :)

I installed both Microsoft Portrait and Coolcamera to try the camera, they get quite the same error.. something like "failed to get camera"...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] boldbull:
I don't know if those tools share the same camera dlls, but if that is the case, a hard reset might fix things, otherwise, it means it is a hardware failure, and you will need to send your phone back to service.

FYI, when I faced camera issues, I installed the NADAVI WITH FIX cab for Kaiser , and that version only made the camera tool work again (although for me the rear camera was not working due to the storage card issue)

Maybe try installing that one first before hard resetting

Good day. I have an old HTC M8 Dual SIM. Recently acquired HTC U12 Plus. We register new IMEI expensive. About 80 dollars. How can I transfer IMEI of my old M8 to a new U12 plus?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You can't. But why do you need for register imei?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] babek78:

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] donkeykong1:
IMEI is just like your personal ID. It is against the law to register IMEI from one phone to another

Poslano sa mog HTC U12+ koristeći Tapatalk
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
May I ask from which country you are and why you need to register imported phones? And why can't you register the imei from the phone you're going to get.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] babek78:
I'm from Azerbaijan. Previously, the registration price was affordable. Now for each imei you need to pay 40 dollars, if the price of the phone is less than 1000 dollars. And if the price of the phone is more than $ 1,000, then one imei needs to pay $ 100 for registration
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Ndaoud360:
It's illegal to change imei but it is possible.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] babek78:
I think there is nothing illegal here. I have my old, already registered htc m8 dual. I want it imei rewrite the new u12 plus
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] GaetanoS.89:
All the IMEI are unique, because that are the identification number of the smartphone in itself. This means that if you will change your IMEI, at your own risk, you could not get support for your smartphone anymore from HTC. To do this you should unlock the bootloader and S-OFF the phone and these steps are voiding the warranty as well.

So basically you will get a new phone, with no support e no identity.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] docentore:
In most countries it is illegal to change IMEI. Simple.

Hello, as 6t maclaren uses new battery technology, how should i charge the phone ?

Should i completely drain battery before plug to charge or need to left some juice like %5-10 ?

My purpose is extend battery life cycle :)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 228bit:
Dude, just don't bother. It is enough not to overheat and not to overcool the smartphone. The maximum that you win with your torment is an extra month of battery life, not more.;)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] manus31:
With modern batteries,you do not do this,it is bad to completely drain the battery,instead keep it somewhere between 50 to 90,somewhere in the middle,

It is also not a good idea to fully charge device too often,maybe once a month. There is more info out there on the web,but Generally what I do is top up my phone maybe twice a day,keeping it in the middle ground of 50 to 90. As far as I know this is recommended to prolong the battery

I saw an international version of the ZIP package coming out. OTA cannot be upgraded directly.

What should I do?

thanks.

I prefer to FLASHthe Xiaomi International Edition ROM, which will retain more of Xiaomi's features.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash the global zip mentioned several times in the forum. Better with EU chinese ROM as more features than global
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] newfantasy123:
Thank you, but I saw the EU version of the ROM, can not re-lock the bootloader, do not know if there will be anything bad.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Correct. If you try and lock the bootloader on the EU Chinese ROM or Global it's good bye phone.

If you don't unlock bootloader you'll be stuck on the Chinese ROM forever.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] newfantasy123:
thank you very much.

Is there any bad things after unlocking the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] invisiblewave:
No. I've had an unlocked bootloader for about the last ten years.

Why would you want to lock the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
Well?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Well what? If they want to lock the bootloader they can lock the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
That doesn't answer why! :) if it bricks the phone it might be useful to understand the process a bit fuller. I'm buying the Chinese version myself so want to be aware of why you'd want to lock the bootloader again
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Return to stock, to sell, improve security, warranty etc

You'll only brick it if you install and lock the global ROM on a Chinese device, Chinese rom on a global device, or lock on the Chinese EU ROM
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ToneLa:
Cool. So if I get the Chinese one I'll put the EU one on.

I don't think I'd need to worry about locking the bootloader for a long time. I want this phone to last a few years and it seems reliable enough. And the processes will improve all the time.

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiFE1688:
Locking the bootloader is for certain applications and features that requires a more "secure" phone, since an unlocked bootloader is considered not "secure".

Payment Applications, Banking Applications, and DRM applications (Netflix) and such requires the phone to have a locked bootloader, or it will not work.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
Are you forgetting Magisk? I'm unlocked since surviving 72 hours of stock locked hell. All my banking apps and Google pay have worked for the past 2 months.

BTW stock Chinese or Dev or Global are garbage compared to the EU version anyways.

Didn't know Magisk can hide the unlocked status of Bootloader, sorry. I always thought it was for rooted phones only.

Hello

I didn't try many roms on the 6t yet, just Havoc and Renovate.

While Havoc is fun and with many mods, I felt it was not as speedy and smooth as stock rom, I also had trouble with wifi not connecting automatically.

Now I am using Renovate which is a cool bunch of mods for stock rom but it's missing a more solid aod (no music control, no clock movements loop).

Which rom do you recommend, that is smooth, with plenty of mods and stable enough?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] chazarss:
i always stick to stock rom.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] vegetaleb:
I am also surprised to see no oos based rom with plenty of mods like transparent app drawer ir navigation bar colors.

Renovate is a very good start but because it's a mod pack/rom that is shared over several devices, there are no specific mods for oos.

Unfortunately the only fully working aod on 6t nowadays are aosp
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] roddem:
AOSiP for me. I have tried almost all ROMs and AOSiP is the most stable with just the right amount of mods. I am very nicely settled now with a custom kernel and settings, swift themes. Got amazing battery life and super smooth performance

You won't be able to flash the OTA zip (dlgkpfile.. something) directly from the recovery of you change the flash script.

Do one thing.

1. Wait for the full firmware file to be available

2. Download and extract the zip

3. Go to meta-inf/com...something something folder and edit the updater script( find the unrooting and flashing to stock guide for exact which file to edit and what code to remove )

4. Again zip the file.

5. Boot to twrp and flash it.

6. It will flash over the current .179 firmware, without any errors.

So right now just wait for the full firmware zip to be available.

Hope it helps.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] beevme:
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S9+, International Version, that'll be use here in the US 99% of the time.

Apparently, it has a United Arab Emirate CSC. Because of this, I can only install and use the UAE version of Samsung Pay app. The UAE Samsung Pay app only accept VISA card payments. Not AmEx card, which I have one. I don't really care about Samsung Pay, because I don't use it much. I can fix the issue by flashing it to use an EU country CSC. I don't want to bother flashing my S9+ just to change the CSC, because it might erase everything on the phone which I already had set up and ready to use.

Will the UAE CSC cause any problem on the S9+ here in the US?

Should I change the CSC?
