hi, all dear hd2 users,

In that 'Weird camera colour balance?' thread, some guys are still not convinced that their cameras have the pink problem. For me, I had also thought I am the lucky one who don't have the defect until today.

first thing to remember, do not use flash, because the strong light could make all the pics very white without pink spots;

2, take a clean white paper;

3, take several pictures of a clean white paper;

4, put them in a folder in your pc;

5, then display them in thumbnails.

you will see how obvious the pink spots in the centre are!

don't use the pictures of colourful scenes to do this experiment because they could cover the pink and easily cheat our naked eyes!

attached are some of my pics with pink spot, the bluish one is even with flash.

and one very important thing, don't forget to reply this post to tell me the results!

Cheers!
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
I dont have the time to do the pictures but you're definitely right, I didnt think I got it but I actually do.

Hope they get this and all the other problems fixed soon.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Its a hardware fault, you need to send your phone back, software will never fix it.
[HD2 General] mallman:
no it isnt, that has been discussed, there is a long thread abtou this already. t was determined 100% to be software. I would post the existing thread but i dont feel like going to search for it :) Trust me, its there
[HD2 General] JayceOoi:
Hopefully it is really software issue.
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
I don`t think i have the issue, but god lets hope its not.
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
i didn`t think too, i tryied that and i have something... but it is not so bad... so i`m okay
[HD2 General] Archer:
I posted on the previous thread that I do not have the problem. I've used the camera a lot of times and never seen this pink blobby-blur thing in the middle of the picture.

On the other hand, I do not spend hours taking pictures of pieces of white paper, or white walls, so I'm not fussed. As it states in the main post of this thread, "don't use the pictures of colourful scenes to do this experiment because they could cover the pink and easily cheat our naked eyes!"

That to me says you don't see this problem unless you go looking for it. Okay, the colour may be slightly off if your phone IS displaying this fault, but if you can't see it with a colour picture, who the hell cares?
[HD2 General] omneity:
^^^ THIS ^^^

I did the above experiment and can see the pink hue when taking pictures of a white piece of paper, but as johncmolyneux says it's not really an issue in normal use. Any camera with a small fixed lens is not going to give the best pictures and is no substitute for a dedicated digital camera with a much larger optical focus lens, especially when taking pictures close-up of a high contrast object. If HTC had fitted a larger lens with optical zoom then this camera would be a far chunkier device and not not to carry around in your pocket as a great all-round communication system.

I never intended the HD2 to replace my compact digital camera anyway, so for, me this isn't a real problem.
[HD2 General] bobbyball:
I think we will find that the pink tinge problem is hardware related, some digital cameras can suffer from what is called a hot spot. The problem usually only shows up when trying to take an IR photo as its something to do with too much IR light getting through to the sensor. Its possible that the lense on the HTC has a coating problem thats letting too much IR light through to the sensor. If this is the case only replacing the lense will fix it.
[HD2 General] TheRealBnold:
Well, its a big problem for me. A phone at that price, and compared to other phones, really should have a better/satisfying camera. I find it unacceptable that my old Diamond takes better pictures!

And yes, its the hardware...i just hope they will return my phone fast or simply give me a new one.
[HD2 General] pedmond:
There already is a thread about this.

I suggest the two be merged if possible.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
HTC originally said it was a hardware issue. Then they changed their minds and said it was a rare software issue. Then they changed their minds again and said it was a common software issue and that they are working on a hotfix.

I'm not convinced, to be honest: my suspicion is that it really is a hardware issue that HTC intends to try to compensate for in software, and that they're lying about it.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I beg to differ: it's very obvious in normal use. It's MORE obvious when you take a picture of a white piece of paper, sure; but that's just a convenient way to test quickly for what is a universal problem.
[HD2 General] kinnyfaifai:
It's noticeable if you look for it, I personally didn't notice it till I read about the problem. I'm more inclined to believe it's a software fault as using flash when taking pictures I don't get the pink hue in the middle of the pics so it sounds like something to do with the light balancing algorithm as mentioned in the other thread.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
Know that for sure do you, Know more than the people who made the phone? NO didnt think so
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
What HTC knows and what HTC publically says aren't necessarily the same thing. Initially they said it was a hardware issue, then they changed their minds. Why? Was it because it is actually a software issue, but HTC tech support gets no information from HTC head office, had to guess, guessed wrong, and was belatedly corrected? Or was it because it's really a hardware issue, tech support knew this and announced it, and head office then suppressed the information in order to protect HTC's reputation and avoid a recall, and is now telling lies? There's no way to tell, but at least one of HTC's statements must be either a mistake or a lie.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Go to the older thread :cool:
[HD2 General] omneity:
Whatever the politics or reasons, I doubt very much that this issue would warrant a recall as it does not render the device unfit for purpose.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
IMO, it does.

Even if you disagree, it wouldn't require a formal recall to be extremely damaging to HTC's sales; a lot of people returning their HD's and a lot of others not buying it because of a known hardware issue would be bad enough. HTC has plenty of incentive to lie.

hi all

i am new too this forum, but i'm really happy that i find some thing that i need a lot.

as far as i know, Sim cards has a memory that stores phone numbers and SMSs! (i know a lot! :D)

so it is possible to store any kind of data in it! even programs! am i right?

as i had heard, there are programs that sits in Sim card and does lots of things!

now here is the question:

is there any programs that we can manage Sim card data? or even let us see all the data in Sim card.

how can we install programs in Sim card?

how can we write programs for it?

i hope i can find some information here

thnx all
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hayate13:
:D If our Sim Card can store program then it must have a memory as big as USB . And all SD will be unable ...

sim card editing

try simemulator @http://www.sorobangeeks.com/software

i heard on the net that mobilEdit can do much better though i haven't tried it.

before using simemulator, read all the FAQs first!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bal1971:
sim card editing

sorry to threadjack my own post above.

here's another one i found for sim editing. but again i haven't tried it yet.

Dekart SIM Manager 2.5
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
look different!

thnx all, but let me explain some more

i am not looking for normal programs, as i am not going to do normal tasks like copying contacts!

Sim card has a memory, so we may be able to store any kind of data in it! so we may be able to store a light program in it! so we can do a lot!

as i had heard, there are programs that can be stored on Sim card make your phone a portable microphone, but not for you:D it sends all the voices to some where that the program wants!!

no matter what i told may be some how wrong, but i think it is possible to work on it

it is simple! we want to store data in Sim card, but this data is acceptable for mobile operators to do some thing we want!:D

if i want to tell in another way, i should say, how can i write a program and store it in Sim?!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rtomakov:
Do you know how "much" memoy has usual, world-wide-used SIM card?

Most of them has 32-128 KB (kilobytes)! Now, compare that to usual phone memory + storage cards memory that almost any device have.

Most of (usual) SIM cards can store up to 250 contacts entries and some sms messages. That is all what can be stored on max. 128 KB of memory.

Just a small reminder: 128 KB of RAM was "much" when I bought my first computer. It was ZX Spectrum II and the year was 1986 (or 1988, I cant remember).Only then 128 KB seemed to be impossible to fill with program code ( wonderfull assembler and disassembler days). Today, even phones have more than 128 MB of memory (1.000 X more then 128 KB).

Now, correct me if I´am wrong, but I am speaking about those SIM cards I know about. Maybe there is some new sort of it with extended memory capacity (but I didnt heard for it).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
as you said, 128KB is enough to run an OS! or at least it is possible to run a program with it.

so why it isn't possible to store a small program on Sim card?

if we expect every upcodes and operands 2 Bytes, it is still enough memory to run a program that sends all the voices to a specified phone number.

again let me ask in another way:

is there any standard language that mobile operators understand?

when we turn on our mobile, some thing must be initialized, what are those? how can we edit those settings?

we may need to edit the part that is initialized every time

i think it is possible, but still don't know what to do!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
nothing else?!!

:confused::confused::confused:

can't anyone help?!

i though i can find many useful ideas! i have lots of other questions.:rolleyes:

i will be glad if someone can help me, even share ideas like this. i have similar ideas.

you can call me here!

afydriver@yahoo.com

again thnx all
[Windows Mobile Software Development] neato4u:
why don't you give us an example of a program that YOU would like to store on the sim. Tell me what you can get with 128KB? Even Pocket RAR is 326KB, a simple screencapture program is 170KB, what do you expect to do with only 128KB (if you even have one). And is it worth it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] GldRush98:
Why would you even want to **** around with your sim card?

You screw it up and you have to pay for a new one from your provider.

MicroSDHC cards are retarded cheap. Why run the risk.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
Maybe he wants to hide his programs inside SIM card. But its true that the SIM card has no enough amount of memory to store even small app. Besides, if you could write this program to SIM, who may be able to run it? Only your program again, because standard GSM-driver does not run any program from SIM card.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
thanks for answers.

i am not going to write a program with a graphical interface witch can handle many tasks!

i want to have something like virus!! or a Trojan horse that can copy calls to another phone line too!

this is only an example,

i am not going to install regular programs on my sim, i want some thing much more strange! :eek:

we know that when we turn our phone on, something must be initialized, what are those? the default things that our operator wants, like show our number too every one, enable call waiting and ....

and it must be stored in sim memory, which is not the same as contact or sms memory. am i right?

so, first we can change those settings, i think we can find some extra feathers that is disable in many Sim cards.

then it may be possible to have a extra segment that we can store our program there.

the program should not be written in c# or java because we don't have the framework for them, or even C++.

maybe it has an operating system in it and we need too change some constants! or anything else.

first we need some low lvl information from Sim cards. then we can find what should we do.

i have a friend that can help a little,

i will send an example soon to see Simcard programing can be good
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
Forget it. You have to understand, that even if you write your "program" to SIM card, nobody then can execute it. Because nothing is executed from SIM card while it is initialized.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Pyres:
AND If I got it right, the use your planning is not legit. Since I sincerely doubt you're going to spy on yourself, you maybe want it to spy on someone? Don't know in the US (but I can easily imagine), here in Italy it would be considered a severe violation of a person's privacy, and you would be jailed for that... so, just trust more people around you and live your life peacefully :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
i am not going to spy anyone, as any changes to those settings must be visible for mobile operators. and as you said, "you would be jailed for that"

but if government ask to do some thing like this, no one can do anything!

i had heard that England government had reached to something like that!!:eek::eek:

you receive an SMS and when you read it, something is installed on your Sim and all the voices will be send somewhere else too!

i just want to know what is happening in my sim card! the first thing i asked was how can i see every thing in my sim card?!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
the program should be written in GSM language! or some thing that every mobile phone or mobile operator understand.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
You are too credulous, dont believe in those fairy-tales. It is really impossible. As we say in Russia: "It can not happen, because it can never happen!" ("Этого не может быть, потому что этого не может быть никогда!")
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
i would be glad if it can not true.

but i think it is possible, and its too easy!

do you agree that settings like enabling call waiting, diverting, SMS service number, and ... should be saved in Sim memory?

all the data must be send somewhere

data can be send to 2 service centers

or to a service center that copies data to somewhere

or any other ways.

it is possible!

which part is wrong?

if it had not been happened yet, it can be done soon!!

i think it is good to search a little on it, there must be something interesting

at least we can be sure it is not possible!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
Again, you should differ stored data and programs. Data is never executed, it is read and written by the external programs (such as GSM driver). Program which can be executed, is situated

outside

SIM card, otherwise it will not execute, because

nothing

executes programs from SIM. I think such kind of programs does not exist at all.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
GOOD!

thnx a lot.

can you please explain some more about GSM driver?

i think at least we can change data on Sim card and make the GSM driver work different. am i right?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
GSM module with SIM card are single one. In WM we can not insert ourselves between them. GSM driver is a software that communicates with GSM module: catch events, such as arriving of SMS or incoming call, and sending the commands to issue outgoing calls etc.

We can change data on SIM card, but there is fixed set of parameters stored on SIM card (phone book, SMS messages...). Changing this will not lead to another behaviour of GSM module, just another parameters will play. Thats all :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
i am not trying to use the part that phone book and sms messages in saved as my program memory!

i am searching and try to understand what ever you said, maybe try to insert myself between GSM module and sim card!:D

and had found some one that had worked on these things!

thnx for the information, and waiting for any other thing that can help!

how is possible to see data transferred between GSM and sim?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
To insert ourself between SIM card and GSM module you must reverse hardware, because as I've said GSM and SIM are single one. GSM retrieves info directly through SIM card controller. Software injection is impossible without that. I dont understand why do you need this for, and I suppose, that English government has done those things in another way, that you've explained.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
if i knew what should i do, i had done it! then you only saw a software package here!:D

the first thing i need is to ensure my sim card is not the spy!!

the second is to reach some thing new and change the way i had used them for years

and finally to learn some thing new. maybe i can use it in many ways

so what is the answer?!

how is it possible to change sim card to send voices some where else!

what they had reached is much more strange!

the phone works as microphone!!!!!!!! (i know that it can not be true! because of battery life! )

if we can completely cover sim card potentials, at least we can use all of its capacity.

maybe you can use it in your security program:p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
I've tired to explain to you, that SIM card is just a storage for parameters and phone book+SMS. All the work is performed by GSM hardware under GSM driver control. My security program interacts with GSM via standard driver.

P.S. I think you should throw off from your head this strange fear about spies. Simply do not use your phone :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
i am busy with my exams!!

so is there any other way to do some thing like this?

i mean to hear the voices send to operator, or see SMS sent to contacts?!

except checking them at the service centers.

there must be a program that can be run every where!

(after my examinations, i will do my best and find what i want!:D)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] neato4u:
well my personal advice is that you go ahead and concentrate on your exams and focus on more important things than this deploying 'programs' into SIM which will never work. I suggest that before you ask any further, it is best if you do some homework and RESEARCHES to avoid further embarrassment to yourself.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] afydriver:
thnx a lot

fortunately i had happily passed all of my exams and have lots of time to research.

i had searched a little, asked questions, and still think it is possible to do so!!

i do not know why are you stick in "programs" . it should not be a program!

it can be even some changes in normal variables that normally are not possible to change, but if we change it, it will act in some how else.

for example, if we change sms service center in our mobile phone, and the new number can handle the tasks it should do, we can have a new sms data center. (i do not know what is done in sms service centers, but of course we can change it, when we our selves create it!)

or if some how, some one enter two numbers in sms service center, sms's may be copied some where else too!

i do not know i could tell what is in my mind or not, but i think it is possible,

we can change normal uses of our sim cards, making them spys, and ...,
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MuratNL:
The only thing i can remember of that can be executed -other than phonebook / messages- is STK,SimToolKit...

When i insert my T-Mobile simcard in a Nokia, Samsung, etcetera i get a T-Mobile menu for wheaterforecast,news etc.; This is a operator-specific menu wich resides on the simcard and initialized on startup. It doesn't matter wich phone i use because when i insert a (for example) Vodafone simcard i get the Vodafone menu on the same phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukleuzN:
Hi you guys.

I finally took the step to order me an Android-based-phone, and after days with reading on the internet I decided to buy a HTC Hero. Everyone was "splurgeing" this phone up in the skies.

I hope my choice wasn't a bad one?! (Actually I think Motorola Droid is a great phone, but it wont be available in Norway tho :mad: )

As i have understood the Android 2.0 ROM will be available for HTC Hero trough HTC soon. Anyone know the date(s)? I live in Norway, but have bought the English version.

Is there any other Custom ROMs that will be interesting to try out? If yes - which one?

Im also wondering;

- Is the email function good? Does it support HTML-mail, IMAP and other email-accounts than GMail?

- Is there any equal app to MyPhone? (sync app)

- MSN messenger client?

- Is it possible to use the phone without HTC Sense? (but I think i wouldn't)

Thank you in advance,

Joachim :rolleyes:

Good afternoon everyone.

So I took a leap and tried to flash my alltel htc vogue to wm 6.5. I'll give the basics of what i did. so here we go.

1. I CID unlocked the phone using the vogue unlocker tool. the spl is currently looks like this

VOGU100

SPL-0.41.CoKe

CPLD-3.

now after that, i ran the following RUU update NagROM V3.13 Touch. Everything looks to go great and the phone will work ( aside from the internet because I don't know the number to set up the connection, and the camera doesn't seem to work but i'm ok with that ) until you unplug the usb cable from the phone. 3-5 seconds after you unplug it, it reboots and stays in a boot loop until you plug the usb cable back in. I'm pretty much at a loss here, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. if anyone feels so inclined to add me to their msn or shoot me an email, it's reb0rn5@hotmail.com. And yes i've searched all over the site for assistance before posting.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] reb0rn1:
Update: i think it has something to do with my bootloader, at least that's what i gather from other posts around the internet. how do i fix this? taking it back to the original bootloader or what?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDRules:
I'm not sure if this is the only problem, but I think you used the wrong unlocker. You need 2.31 since Nag's ROM is gps capable. See this post for more background and the correct unlocker:

well since using nag's i've tried another ROM, T2_V2.2 (based on Mega M2d Test2 and SYS 23016.updated 10.14.09), that one i really like, and i dunno if my phone supports gps or not, maybe that could be why it reboots when i unhook the usb cable? if that's the case how do i, a) reverse the bootloader change, b) go back to an original rom and start from scratch?

I've recently started a job at a university where i often need to install software on large rooms of PC's but because of the busy nature of the university, i often have to leave while lessons are taking place and return later to continue the installations

I was wondering if anybody knew of a seating plan app that i could use to help me keep track of which PC's ive updated and which i haven't.

I just need something where i can set up a temporary plan or even just a grid and then mark certain positions so i can keep track of what ive done
