Ok, jsut got this thing off of ebay, power it all up I notice someone has been inside. eh no real biggie.. I unlock it and test the major functions.. all works. Bring up the camera and holy crap its like looking through the eyes of a lawn gnome tripping off shrooms and acid.. take a look (attached)

I rewiped.. installed Fx Camera to see if it was a setting, and also wiped the memory card (which came with the phone.. cool!) I then turn around and see that the camera lens is cracked on the battery cover, however the lens inside looks pretty good. So, I'm thinking this is a hardware problem, but Im not afraid to try to fix it if its just a few dollars. Am I screwed?
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
whoah, thats a trip!

If you deem it to be hardware, I have a spare camera from a parted G1. PM if you want details
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
I may take you up on that, however I am searching google right now to see if you can even replace the CCD
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
The camera module is on a ribbon cable that attaches to the motherboard, easily removed. So long as the component damaged is not on the mainboard itself you should be fine.
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
That's what I like to see!

You have a PM
[G1 General] Adam182:
If you plan on taking it apart yourself you need to be extremely careful, i took mine apart to replace the case when i bought it and after putting it back together everything seemed fine but after a while the touchscreen kept dying the camera never worked and my signal dropped all the time, i tried taking it apart and putting it back together several times to no avail. The phone became unuseable and i shelved it for my D600... bad times. It was only until i was going to send my G1 to a phone recycle website that i opened it up one last time, after doing nothing different and putting it back together its for some reason worked ever since. Just a word of warning hope whatever you do works out ok - Adam
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
Thanks for the warning! Someone already has been in the camera before.. I am going to assume that it was to take a peak at the camera lens :) so I am not afraid of voiding the warranty. It's no new adventure for me, I have been inside multiple phones and other small electronics, but thank you again. It never hurts to be redundant when opening any electronic device. :cool:
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
PM returned

When disassembling, I like to modify the HTC manual a bit. I remove the back plastic, and the coaxial cables (be VERY CAREFUL when reassembling, they always get pinched!). Then, remove the connectors as instructed EXCEPT the camera. Now, lift the camera portion, as well as the IMEI sticker as a whole module. They are just taped down. When lifted up fully, now you can spin the mainboard out of it's hooks and remove the entire assembly. This was the difficult connection to the camera stays intact. Makes reassembling much easier too, as it will self align.

If you haven't read/downloaded the G1 service manual, you need to!

[G1 General] h1p1n3:
Whoa! My first phone that has a manual!

[G1 General] jackslim:
My phone just started doing the same thing. I flashed the ADP image to see if it was a bug with the ROM I was using, only to find that it was still all crazy looking. Contemplating if I should try the repair or warranty exchange my phone again, ugghh
[G1 General] pardus:
mine's doing the same suddenly, according to this: http://www.fixya.com/support/t2307654-htc_g1_camera_takes_pictures_messed_up

it's called solarization but how does one turn it off without a hard reset?

I downloaded the Snap Photo app which allows turning solarization on or off but it makes no difference

Any know how to fix this?
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
starting to look less and less like hardware :confused:
[G1 General] pardus:
Anyone know how to switch this back to normal?
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
Hate to say it, but I do not see anything that would point this to software. First, if it was a setting or something software related, it would be resolved by the factory reset.. Heck, flashing the rom like JackSlim did would have reset any bad stacks or drivers.

I did find that post by fixya initially and quickly dismissed when I noticed that 1. Fixya blows... 2. there was no resolution 3. this is the same behavior that digital cameras get when the ccd or cmos goes bad..

PLEASE correct me if Im wrong, I would rather be :)
[G1 General] jackslim:
After reading the post of Fixya I went into Camera Magic and played with some of the setting and couldn't change it back to normal

Unrooted my G1 today, back to stock Donut DRC83, still the same issues, so I'm pretty sure it's not software related. Since I've had the same issue on the latest Cyanogen build, the Android Dev Phone build & the stock Donut build.

Called T-Mobile to get a warranty replacement, so I'm $9.99 and a couple days away from having another phone.

That's my fix anyways

I hope anyone not covered under a warranty is able to find a solution, my guess is you would have to replace the camera itself as Speed mentioned in one of the earlier posts, so look for a parted out phone or a aftermarket parts store and good luck with opening up the phone
[G1 General] h1p1n3:
As soon as money goes into my paypal account and I replace it I will post my results. Heck, if anyone is interested I will do a step by step for future reference. With pictures taken from a working camera, of course.
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
The only reason I am thinking software is that it seems like it is occurring to a few people all of a sudden where a week ago none of us had heard of this. I had a accelerometer problem with a G1 and I took it back to the RC29 rom and everything trying to fix it, it never would work. Sent it to HTC and they reflashed it...worked fine. They said there were no hardware issues. That makes me think there must be a bit of software that isnt getting replaced (like bios on a pc?). Perhaps what is going on is hardware..just hard to say right now.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
The camera itself may have some firmware that is corrupted. Also possible that there's a fried transistor somewhere along the line. Could even be something really simple, like a bad ribbon cable or connection.
[G1 General] MasterCATZ:
Cheers for Manual link

will greatly help when I swap over from black case to white case

( sticky keys and a mate wanted white one sooo $30 AUD for an complete white kit and hoping for sucsessfull fixed KB glitch )
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
note that you will still have black buttons for volume and camera, as well as memory card cover. That is what kept me from changing colors on mine- I went with a black replacement case so I didnt have the wrong colored buttons
[G1 General] pardus:
Still no resolution on this? My camera's useless

Is there any software that can map panel button to function similar than alt+tab on pc?

Sometimes when i have lots of apps open in background it would be nice to quickly switch with few taps of a button.

HTC task manager is ok for closing apps, but not for quickly switching because its sometimes taking ages for menu to appear.

Enjoy
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] XDAPPCgeeks:
cool, thanks. Just so you know, the lined paper CAB installs the sky background (sky installs sky too), so you may want to reupload that one.... that's the one i wanted too lol.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] doobe66:
Thank you for you sharing... now i can change the pic i want !!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
ok i fixed the lined paper cab and updated the link in the first post, please try and let me know if its working ok now.

thanks for the info.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] HooliganBG:
can u upload it in another place ?

;(
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] bugsykoosh:
neat implementation. Any idea how to make it work on the email/SMS slector page? I see it works to create a background if you open an individual email/text but it doesn't impact the page that shows all texts/emails. Any thoughts on that? Thanks - an great work so far.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Is there a reason your using three times the same backdrop, instead of pointing to only one graphic in the html and CSS?

The Compose SMS htm was missing a few lines that made it incompatible with 6.1, you can test if it works in yours.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] celarbi:
it support 6.1 or 6.5 please:D or just in original rom?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
im using it on wm6.1. on the official SE r3 rom (uk), works fine. about your first question, these are base on ahem white brick wall background and he made the html & css file. Also if u decide to make your own u can make the 3 backgrounds different i think (have never tested it).
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
works on my official r3 rom (6.1), have not tested on a 6.5 device.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Noonski:
I'll gather the other Mail.htm Templates to later.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
could u un-tick the system files box in the properties as i always have problems getting system files to show on my laptop.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Noonski:

I made it so it should only use one Graphic.

Hopefully their of use to you.

For some reason copying them manually breaks stuff, but making and installing a cab works :confused:

Great work man!

Could you possibly Skin this image into a cab?

My PC is crapped out :(

I this pic would be awesome SMS background.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ethermind:
May be it just for me.. but...

Seems that it is cutted 320x240 area and stretched to 800x480... :confused:

Can you confirm you see all area of SMS-background?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
the images are all 480x800 but when i made picture of a girl it seemed to cut the image (maybe where the sms screen does not use the whole screen) thats why i only used textures in my cabs. what cab are u using? or are u using your own pic?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
ok, i will make a cab but as i answered on the post above it may not come out properly, thats why i only use texture like pics.

ps. i have made the cab, but the pic u gave me was very low res. give it a try and tell me how it comes. if u can fine a higher res pic it would look better.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
oooops...

Thanks man...

I just realized how low res it was...my bad...

let me get the original...

thanks so much
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:

how bout this one :)
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
the problem with this pic is that its dark and there is black in it which will make it hard to see the text u are reading/writing.

nevertheless i have made the cab for u to test. merry xmas
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ethermind:
Can anybody please make screenshot ?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Ganondolf:
what res is the shown part. i will make u a version with the whole picture that res. thats what i was talking about earlier on your question. on threaded u can scroll so it makes sence to have the bigger pic but if dont use threaded i can make u a version that fits the whole screen.

ps. tell me which one (sky, water etc) u want.

EDIT

Try this bud

checked the cab its the same as all the other cabs, the only difference being the background pic. if the others install fine, this should too.

if u have any of the other backgrounds, try un-installing them first or if u do not try installing one of them and then installing the cab over it.

Hi guys,

This is my first post so please forgive my ignorance. I have just received a brand new HTC Hero from Orange UK as a replacement for my previous Hero that went faulty.

Anyway, I really want to install the Hero 2.1 ROM. However I have only ever messed around with OS changes when I used to install leaked updates to my BlackBerry.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a comprehensive guide to doing everything I need to do to install Hero 2.1 ROM or explain it to me?

Thank you all for any help that you can offer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/297764/the-how-to-guide/

keep in mind that the 2.1 roms available are not fully functional yet. if you want something stable with everything working as intended go for mcr3.0, but that shouldn't stop you from testing new roms! just a note.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] byakkotai:
Thanks for the link. I'm a pretty big idiot when it comes to this stuff but I'm always willing to give it a shot.

Is there much difference between MoDaCo 3.0 and the 2.1 ROM? I'm just looking for something that is a bit faster or more up to date than a 1.5 Orange UK OS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
For faster than stock, I would suggest modaco 3.0, since 2.1 will be on the way in the new year, and it isn't quite ready for everyday use yet.

But its up to you. Just don't go installing any rru updates if you want to root or install a custom ROM in future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inkredi:
check out changelog of each of their final releases..and u'll wats added to them ..and wats still not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] byakkotai:
RRU updates?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
if you make that a question you might get an answer.

if you want speed go for modaco. the 2.1 roms tend to lag here and there, and as i said are not suitable for daily use. they work great for an early preview, but that's it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] byakkotai:
Ahh OK sorry to keep on asking what are probably inane questions. I'm guessing since nobody has mentioned RRUs with MoCaDo, that they aren't involved.

I'll see how that ROM goes, hoping it uses HTC Sense UI as I really like the look of it but it's not essential.

I think I have to update the Radio for the MoCaDo update.

I'll probably post again if the change doesn't go well or I can't do it LOL

Thanks again guys.

Hi,

Can anyone help me finding an application that is able to track and show multiple mobile phones?

The reason why im asking is that we(my company) are switching from normal nokia 6300 phones to (probably) HTC Snap phone to be use with our incident management system.

Can someone please help me with this?

Any notifications for the alarm clock need to be placed in /system/media/audio/alerts/, I believe. There may be an alarm app in the market that has better music support, but I don't mind using the default alarms.
