Okay, so my G1's camera colors are all weird.

I bought this phone and it had older cyanogenmod in it, and camera worked all fine.

Then i updated to newer, still worked and suddenly now the colors are very weird.

Does this seem like a software or physical error?

And, any suggestions?

(also, i dont have any effects on when taking pics, tried to reinstall cyanogen, and do factory data reset. Ive also tried with a expiremental cyanogen and stable one.)
[G1 General] Cebalrai:
I have the same problem with my G1, also running Cyanogen (currently experimental). Flashing back to original 1.5 didn't fix the problem either.
[G1 General] DOHCtor:
dun dun dun!
[G1 General] khoaitaychienvn:
nice, you dont know how much I want my G1's cam acting weird like that =)
[G1 General] Freedomcaller:
this happened to my friend i phone one. but it fixed itslef on the next camera use....
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Whoa, that's trippy :P

Have you tried going to settings in the camera app, then "reset to defaults"?
[G1 General] msff:
Yes, ive tried that, and from application info>camera>clear data too.

Not helping.. :(
[G1 General] turboyo:
what happens if you try one of the camera apps in the market??
[G1 General] SRT102JZ:
i have the same f*ing problem. tried replacing the actual physical camera itself with a older spare one i had laying around and it actually would just force close on me before it could bring up an image. (maybe the spare camera i had was just broke)

i also tried flashing back to the old DREAIMG.nbh to get rid of root and everything else and the camera is still showing wierd colors (after i changed back to original camera hardware)
[G1 General] msff:
Sadly it doesent seem to help.

Wow! Interesting, i guess theres not much else to do?
[G1 General] deanna619:
same thing happening to me too... everything was fine and then all of a sudden the camera is taking funky a$$ pictures with funky a$$ colors. lol my phone was perfect until i discovered this.... =[ anyone know how to fix it?

to the people who also have this problem, did any of you take your phone apart and put it back together? i did this once but not sure if it was taking it apart that ruined the camera or if it was flashing my phone that messed it up. cause i did both of these in the same day within an hour of each other so i have no idea whether it was the flash or the taking apart.

any insight would help... thanks!
[G1 General] SRT102JZ:
hmm you may be onto something there...i took my phone apart as well to replace the housing a few days before i noticed the colors.

the little black screw that goes right near the camera got stuck to the camera 2 or 3 times because its magnetic. maybe this had something to do with it?
[G1 General] deanna619:
i bought another g1 today and tried replacing the camera but that wasnt the problem....

what i did was remove the whole lower part of the hardware (the green plate where the camera and keyboard thing connects... i dont know all the names for the parts lol) and switched it with the other phone. this worked for me.... so it was something that happened to that part of the phone i guess

now i have to root my phone again and start all over but at least my camera works! lol
[G1 General] c2tmdsn:
I changed the housing on my iphone and messed up the camera like that
[G1 General] Cebalrai:
Just bumping this thread, to see if anyone has come up with a solution to this. I really do miss my camera.. :(

I will send it on warranty sometime next week, see if they can/will fix it.
[G1 General] cougar_34:
the same thing happened to my G1 camera!

I usually leave my phone in my pocket when I take showers and I think that the moisture inside the room somehow messed up my camera.

When it first happened, I turned off my phone and turned it back on. The camera was back to normal for a few days. After that, it went back to blurrs of blue and orange and its really annoying because the phone is fairly expensive and the camera messed up so easily.

I really don't know what to do about it except to take it to a t mobile store. Most likely I might have to get a new phone if other features mess up aswell.
[G1 General] b0ricuaguerrero:
bumping an old thread. anyone have a solution to this problem same thing happened to me
[G1 General] Macrophage001:
its a hardware problem It happened to me too. the lens is ****ed up. might need to replace.
[G1 General] maligantx:
just hot my hands on G1. had to take it apart, but i put it back together with the magnetic screw, and have the same weird color issue.. but over time, like a day, the camera wont even open. it says it has unexpectedly closed. i dont have any answers, but im gonna have to take it apart again and see if thats possibly the issue.
[G1 General] thelistening:
i got the same thing! pretty much it points to hardware problems. well, according to what ive been looking at. i tried fix_permission, i pushed a new camera apk & cleared data and im getting convinced its hardware
[G1 General] bobabc:
I had the same problem on my iphone. It's a problem with the camera contacts. On the Iphone I had to replace the module and clean the contacts. My phone started malfunctioning when I took it in the pool though.
[G1 General] terrorbytezz2007:
Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead.

Having the same problem after flashing to Cyanogen 6. Went to previous to another ROM and that didn't fix it :( I've only opened the back cover to take battery out about 2 or 3 times. Really frustrating as I got this phone brand new 3 weeks ago and can't even use the camera. Anyone maybe fix this problem?

Thanks :)

I can't get a satellite lock on my HTC Snap.

I have enable "use GPS" in google maps. google maps will search for satellites and after sometime come back saying weak signal & some recomendations to look for clear view of the sky.

Garmin XT also can't search GPS satellites. I install GPS Test, it seems that there's a GPS hardware but somehow the signal reception is super weak.

I have sent my Snaps to HTC service center and the best thing they can do is change the mainboard. This also show no result.

Anybody, please help. i'm starting to get frustrated with this GPS issue...
[Dash 3G, Snap General] debacle:
Bing GPS

I use the Bing app and have similar issues establishing GPS signal. This is my first GPS device so I'm not sure if this is normal, or if the phone is crap for GPS, or if I'm doing it wrong. I try to keep the QuickGPS updated, but that doesn't seem to help. I thought AGPS was supposed to be fast, but faster compared to what? Maybe this is 'fast' for GPS. I have seen friend's full on GPS devices and they seem to pickup pretty quick. So... who knows?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] djh816:
One thing to definitely try is make sure quickgps is up to date and automatically downloading. garmin could NOT find my location without that up to date and it would show one red bar signal strength. once i loaded up quickgps, updated it, and ran garmin again, full green signal.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] rhavasy:
It's The GPS Hardware ...

I've tried it all with my Dash 3G -- and concluded that it's the GPS in the phone that is garbage.:mad: I've since switched back to my trusty OnCourse Bluetooth GPS and I get a lock in Google Maps in less than 30 seconds and in Garmin XT in less than 10. IMHO, the GPS is certainly a weakness on this phone.

It finally sunk in for me when I lost signal 9 times while walking a few miles down Beacon Street in Boston. Holding the phone in my hand it kept dropping the signal over and over again. So I gave up. Built in GPS is handy in a pinch (when you have 30 minutes to wait for it to find a signal) but for serious navigating I use my Bluetooth GPS exclusively now.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] drewcam888:
No true at all. the gps in the Ozone is amazingly fast.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] djh816:
I completely agree. Simply because something is not working like it should for these others does not mean that the GPS is not good. I use garmin xt with my ozone and its is extremely fast at updating my position as i'm driving along.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] billy_tantri:
Problem solved:)

Let say that i'm in a really bad luck. this is my first GPS device and its not working. After the 2nd time come out from the service center (2nd concecutive mainboard), then the GPS is functioning, normaly....

my maple can get lock on GPS signal quite fast. with AGPS updated, it can get signal lock within seconds (given you have a clear sky view). i found that it could takes some time for Garmin XT to get GPS signal, so I use GPS Test to speed up the process then start the Garmin XT.

so for those who can't get GPS signal. it's definitely your hardware. I also found that the online customer service officer at HTC is just a mere lips service / useless. they keep telling me to be patient and patient without real action.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] paulpambudi:
There's a free GPS testing tool for Windows Mobile called GPS Test. Once that set up, you can find out which serial port is used by the GPS receiver in your Windows Mobile, and set Google Maps GPS setting accordingly. Once it's set up, Google Maps can easily find multiple satellites if you're on open space. Once it's using GPS, your location on Google Maps will be a pin point, rather than a large circle denoting your approximate location.

PS: Found out with GPS Test that my GPS receiver in my Snap is using COM4 port at 9600 bps

Sincerely,

Paul Pambudi

WIND Mobile HTC Maple users not getting GPS working PLEASE READ!

I went through four HTC Maples (two accounts each 1st phone was a warranty exchange for another non-related problem). Each of the four Maples could not lock in single GPS satellite. WIND tech support had no clue after many calls and tests run at their tech support offices in Toronto. WIND recommended that I get in contact with HTC directly to see if they might have a solution.

One call to HTC started the ball rolling and setup a trouble ticket. Within 3 days and about seven call backs to trouble shoot, HTC had the solution and both of our Maples now have fully functioning GPS with Google Maps.

The problem was in the ROMs that had an old version of Google Maps (both their WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 HTC Maple ROM for WIND accounts).

Solution: using the Maple's browser go to m.google.com/maps and install the latest version. Problem solved! :)

HTC customer service in North America ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Will I buy another HTC product? HELL YA!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] arpitp:
Here's a gem!

My Snap used to take 30-40 seconds on a cold start to get a location lock (with aGPS turned on).

I installed the attached CAB (which just adds some registry keys, also found here: Here), which makes the phone use Google's aGPS server, and got a cold start GPS lock in 7 seconds... indoors!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] AquiEsta!:
The thread you listed for registry key changes doesn't appear to work. :(

[Dash 3G, Snap General] AquiEsta!:
Thanks for updating the link.

I have tried both of the CABs for the non Nokia and both make no difference if you

can't get a GPS lock. AGPS simply does not work using the latest Google maps CAB

available.

The "FF Ultimate aGPS Tweak_supl.google_Generic.cab" actually makes Google Maps

take forever to just start up after being installed and still no location is updated

indoors. Also, the phone will not snyc now with the desktop and this is after three

soft resets.

Even worse is the fact the phone now runs slow as hell. Everything takes forever

to open and is VERY sluggish.

Installed the other CAB "FF Google aGPS Settings Generic.cab" and still the same

problems. What could be the problem?

Finally got fed up with the POS CAB and uninstalled it. So far I've notice that the

phone has recovered its speed opening items and the right ones not like before

with that POS CAB which would cause all kinds of problems. Snyc now works

and so this looks like I'm back in business minus the fact I still can't get the aGPS

to work.

Oh well, you can't win them all...

RSS Reader Widget

For those using WM 6.5 (or above) I am developing an RSS Reader Widget. Anyone willing to test it out and give me feedback would be appreciated.

Note : this is a widget not a CAB, so you have to do this to get the widget installed :

In order to get your widget to install by clicking on it, you need to create this association by modifying the registry on the device to include the following values:

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Best advice I can offer you is just to get used to your device. Get the feel of it and play with it. Once you have done this, then read the wiki so you understand more.

If after all of this you feel you want to change anything, do a search for it first, read up on it and then try it out.

There are plenty of apps/software/games/themes available for you to install on your HD. Apps/software & games which work on the HD can also be found in the wiki as well as in the software forum.

You can also change roms (operating system), but you will need to do some research on this first. Guide to flashing roms can be found here.

The most important thing of all is to research & read before trying anything. If your unsure of anything on any particular topic, ask your question within that relevant thread

And the next one will be another track by another artist ( random ) - one thing I do miss on the iPhone is the Album art represents an album, and when you tap it it flips over to show you all the tracks on that album. Anyway of getting the Hero to behave like this?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dommo:
Hi folks, I've been using abusalza's Ulitmate-X roms for a good few months now, and recently I decided to update to his WM6.5 beta version, after doing that whenever the phone needs a soft reset, it will boot and say 'preparing your device for first use', and format everything on the phone and then boot up.

So I decided to flash his Ultimate-X2 V11 rom, same issue, and now I've gone back to his Ultimate-X V9, which I'm pretty sure is the same ROM I've been using for some months now (never had any issues before), and whenever it requires a soft reset it will do the 'preparing device for first use' thing, it will do the customization install, then the connection setup, then reboot itself and just sit there on the PDA Corner Ultimate screen until I reset it, soft resets just keep hanging on the PDA Corner Ultimate screen, and unless I hard reset it (soft keys and press the reset button, that's a hard reset isn't it?) it won't get passed that point. I've just this minute had to hard reset it and it's booted, but it takes a good 5-10 minutes each time which gets annoying.

Has something packed up in my Kaiser to make it do this? Seems out of 3 ROM's I've tried they all now have the same issue, including a ROM I'm pretty sure I used to use with no issues.

Sorry if this is a common problem and easy to cure, I did search for 'preparing your device for first use' and something came up from months ago, but a totally different issue.

Thanks for any advice, Dom.
