Pink Spot after htc hotfix

@borgqueenx

If you cannot see the pinkish color, by taking a picture of a white document, on your laptop screen, I recommend you, to have your eyes check by an ophthalmologist . :D

All those patches that we are getting to fix the must important issues are just an easy way around from HTC to take there responsibility, in a serious way.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Guys I want to send my pink pictures to HTC, to which email should I send it to ?
[HD2 General] htc12345:
http://www.htc.com --> Support --> Customer Service --> Support via e-Mail

and fill in the form + add attachment.

They reply in one or two days via email.

Attach pictures at the bottom ;)
[HD2 General] planty:
I get the pink hue as well even after applying the hotfix, especially evident today against the snowy background!

Have sent an example to HTC, let's see if I get a reply.
[HD2 General] [★]:
I didnt send a picture with mine as theres plenty all ready, but I have lots in storage ready lol.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Thanksssss :)
[HD2 General] [★]:
No worries, lets try and get this sorted once and for all!
[HD2 General] planty:
Got a reply back from HTC today (not bad response time!!)

Thank you for your enquiry. The pink photo issue is currently still being worked on, and there will be a further update in the near future. The current update mitigates the problem to a certain degree, but does not solve it completely. Please keep checking the HTC website support page for further updates. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us either by phone or email.

Not a solution yet, but at least they're accepting it still exists and are working on it.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Wayyyy better than Nokia's replies ... Man the experiences I had during my N97, which is the reason I left Nokia and tried out the HTC, and I must say, really happy I made that change !
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Nokia quality control is 10 times better than HTC if you know what I mean... They test the devices before releasing it. The N97 was shipped with buggy applications rather than ROM and a ROM update was released which solved the incompatibly issue fyi; you must understand that Nokia has 100 times more customer to support than HTC but anyway Im not defending Nokia as much as mad at HTC...I have flashed to 1.61 and I have a horrible pink hue issue in the center of the pictures. I cannot install the hotfix because as mentioned it was integrated in the new ROM. Any suggestion please ?
[HD2 General] [★]:
Well atleast they're replying to you. I havent had anything back, its been a good week or so I think now lol.

Lets hope they fix it soon
[HD2 General] BumAround:
If this is hardware-related, I don't think any hotfix or patch or whatever will do it, don't you guys think?
[HD2 General] [★]:
I dont think it is a hardware problem. Even if it is I doubt htc would admit it because then they would have to have all current hd2 sent back and replaced lol
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Fyi, all my phones were nokia until I got the N97, my old N95 was 10x better than it.

The update released by Nokia for the N97 did not fix all the problems, my phone still hanged and had a rate of ( 1 format/week) ..

Check out nokia's forums, read all the N97 complains, they did not even reply..They dont listen :)

Anyway this is going off topic.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
Of course its hardware related, just check the Nexus one photo's, they have the same pink blob http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613654, as do a number of other 5MP phones.

For most people the hotfix made the blob disappear, dont see it on my pics, but they do need to improve the overall white balance
[HD2 General] htc12345:
The camera sensor may be attracted to pink, :o:p or the lens is made out of pink plastic :rolleyes:

IMO the whitebalance correction is somewhat over-applied.

The hotfix didn't fix the pinkishness on my HD2 either.

Whitebalance is not hardware related so they should 'hotfix'-it again.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I'm sorry for bumping this old thread, yet, since I do not shoot a lot of pics with this phone, but sure as hell was planning to put my coolpix aside after this 500 euro expense... and I surely thought that using a 2.* custom rom the issue was far gone, I got this surprise after uploading a pic via peep: http://i48.tinypic.com/140dssh.jpg
[HD2 General] fuuunkdat:
any conclusion????

Has there been any fix for this since this thread started?? Altough this is an old thread, I thought id try my luck and see if anyone had sorted it :cool: Or any other responses from the emals sent?
[HD2 General] hicks12:
I have had the same problem, i contacted HTC support but they are bloody useless to be honest.

I raised a ticket a week after i recieved the phone (end of jan/early feb), first response was the general steps but was a useful one along with being within 24hours, was toild to update the rom to the 1.63 or what ever, did that still no fix then after i replied the support person informed me of a "work around" by reducing saturation, i can still notice the tinge so i didnt accept this response, its a fault and shouldnt be happening.

I dont care if the fault is caused by the lense manufactorer it shouldnt happen :P. A month later someone replied saying if the issue had been solved, when they clearly didnt read my response because i said it hadnt fixed it and need another alternative solution. I replied again and once AGAIN A WHOLE FKING MONTH LATER, a similar reply by a support staff asking if it has been solved and can close the ticket.

I replied again, i really hope they reply back to me this time. Just seemed like they couldnt be arsed with me.

Btw it is a hardware fault, it affects many brands such as samsung i believe. Its a tolarence level somewhere in the camera design, so basically its pot luck if you get this issue or not. HTC should really replace these phones :(.
[HD2 General] fruchtfliege:
of course it's a hardware fault. had the same issue on a lot of phones - especially samsungs like e700 and u700. i still have the pink spot issue after applying the patch - espacially at pictures made without flash!

hopefully i'm wrong and htc will bring up another patch...
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
I died laughing after having read this title.

So, technically I'm dead.

Later. :p
[HD2 General] ephestione:
huh, no big point in talking to the dead, anyway for what it may be worth, even if I can live with it, even using a 1.72 EU rom doesn't fix the problem, I can even notice the pink area while composing the picture, in the live preview, when aiming at a white wall...

Hi All,

I am new to rooting / flashing ROMs.

I bought a HTC Hero from India. Following are the details of my firmware / software

Firmware Version: 1.5

Baseband: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

Kernal: 2.6.27.8dd6deee

Build: 2.73.720.5

Software version: 1.0.0.A6288

I would like to try the Android 2.1 ROM on my HTC Hero.

I have been following a procedure which requires a RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.XXX.XX_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver ROM file which will downgrade the HTC Hero for flashing.

I have tried all possible RUU files and the procedure fails with a 131 error, Which probably means that I am using a wrong RUU file.

Can someone please help me locate the right RUU file for downgrading.

OR

Alternately suggest another procedure to flash the 2.1 ROM.

Thanks in advance.

Use the Gold Card method and downgrade, then you can do whatever you want.

2.73.710.61

Hey all,

I'm stuck on 2.73.710.61. I'm in Oz and have had plenty of experience with WINMOB and my G1. Orignally downgraded my G1 using the gold card method.

My gold card for Hero was created successfully and gets to bootloader than fails the downgrade.

I have not seen any mentions of the 2.73.710.61 firmware or the firmware stated by the original poster...

Are we missing anything or does the gold card have to be kingston??? From memory my G1 goldcard was a kingston...

Also the phone is not locked to any carrier, it is straight out of the box with the genuine HTC only firmware...

Please no flamming with use search idiot because there is no direct link or search for the firmware i am mentiong.

TIA

and

Respect...

I'm new to the modded android ROM scene, but do have a technical background and have had experience in modding PSPs.

I am having great difficulty downgrading my HTC Hero from 2.73.710.61

I am from OZ like the previous poster, have an unlocked genuine Hero bought from Harvey Norman.

I have tried many methods without luck, hitting the worst case scenario for each 'How To' guide, which in turn pointed me to the next guide. Which failed...

If anyone could please give me some help it would be greatly appreciated. My initial problem was that I could not find the 'RUU_Hero_HTC..' ROM to downgrade with, all versions i tried came up with the 'Wrong Client' error.

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] XyukiAU:
.....so six hours later and I have made much progress.. HOORAY! I can confirm the Goldcard method

DOES

work for the HTC Hero 2.73.710.61 and I believe this is the ONLY method that will enable you to proceed with UN-ROOTING, ROOTING, DOWNGRADING etc...

Steps to create the Goldcard that didnt work, eventually ended up working, after much troubleshooting.. long story. Now im on my way to installing EzHero V5.0.1 custom ROM :D :D :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rophaq:
for all those having problems with flashing,downgrading,gold card...etc...

please , there is Btdag's thread, read it and read again, follow every single step stated in the guide. if you get stuck, start all over again.

Btdag made it so detailed even you have never seen a computer before, i'm sure you can do it. goodluck.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] essbee1958:
Just use flashrec to save your recovery and then flash Amon-Ra recovery. I had the same phone and flashrec worked straight away.

I have also flashed the India OTA for 2.1 and got back a custom recovery through flashing the 2.73.420.5 ROM using a goldcard - just search and you'll find the threads.

Bubble Breaker came as standard on my TD2...running WM 6.5. Apologies if I sound stupid but have you checked All Programs?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cmstackar:
Not all ROMs come with the games installed. Some chefs don't include them to save space. Actually, the one time I cooked a ROM I didn't include it. My current Topaz ROM doesn't have it either
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] oltp:
Try this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3162574&postcount=184 It works on my TP2 with WM6.5.3
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Baldrick1:
I have a stock/standard ROM from HTC (came with the phone) so as I understand it is part of standard WM 6.5. Even had it on my Axim v51 which had standard WM 5.

:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] cmstackar:
Yes it is part of Winmo and has been before wm5, but you can leave it out if you are cooking a custom ROM, not stock. Nothing depends on it, it is completely optional
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] rikee:
found this on another forum... it is working perfectly on TD2 and I believe that it would work on other WVGA devices such as HD, HD2

[HD2 General] borgqueenx:
i have heard on youtube reviews it is not possible...thats why i am wondering.

the iphone browsing experience is great, and is full screen.

On the Leo it is not full screen, even when you zoom out.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
what about ticking auto full screen in the settings menu?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm a little confused by this. Do you mean Opera 10? I only ask because the default Opera (9.7) that comes installed on the device is always in full screen, except when you use the menus.
[HD2 General] derScheich:
same for opera 10.. always in fullscreen except when using the menus
[HD2 General] borgqueenx:
maby i said it wrong...with fullscreen i ment viewing the whole page. only able to scroll down, not sideways.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Opera always goes to fullscreen mode automatically.

And actually it goes to REAL fullscreen, not like on the iPhone where you still have that bar on the bottom taking away screen real estate (that's already very limited on the iPhone anyway, with that low resolution and smaller screen).

Don't know where you found that information that Opera would not do this, but it's wrong.

You can turn that off in the settings, however.

EDIT:

Ah yes, now I understand what you mean. Yes, you can do that also, by setting the "virtual screen width" higher.
[HD2 General] brandi:
if it still wont work, type about:config in your browser

and then go to user prefs and see if there are some options permanently activatet wich do not allow the browser to go into fullscreen!
[HD2 General] freyberry:
This is what you're searching for:

- type about:config

- click on 'adaptive zoom settings'

- set 'virtual screen width' to 1000 (or something great enough for all the pages you visit)

- click 'save' and restart Opera

Thanks for the question, I'll include this in my next ROM :)

I like not having to scroll sideways, but was too lazy to change it :D

yeah thats it! i was to lazy to get my phone to look it up^^

Any ideas?

The hero is as stock, no rom or radio or whatever, just stock firmware with no any other app installed like i buy it today in the shop

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help. I am looking for a program that runs on windows mobile, and connects to a server on my desktop PC and can be used as a customizable "remote-control". There is a specific program i am looking for. I had it once, a long time ago, maybe 5 or more years ago, and you could make custom interfaces and set buttons to do different things. You could even set a mouse track pad and all sorts! I was just wondering if anyone knew what this program was as I cannot remember for the life of me.

I hope this isn't something i have dreamt up and now think is real!!!

Thanks if anyone can help!

[HD2 General] Dirty Harry:
Hi folks,

for the last few hours I have been trying use AE Keyboard Mapper to adjust a Freedom Universal bluetooth keyboard (German QWERTZ-layout) to my new HTC HD2's (original German ROM) obviously English driver.

Previously, this procedure worked perfectly for the combination of my old HTC Touch Dual and the afore-mentioned keyboard. Unluckily, if I use AE Keyboard Mapper 1.3 to switch, e.g., Y and Z on the HD2 both keys end up dead.

Is there anyone who got AE Keyboard Mapper working on his HTC HD2? Is there another application out there which does the same job?

Thank you in advance!
[HD2 General] DuperMan:
You need version 1.3.

Also, HTC apparently does something with sense that breaks AEKMap, so you should try changing sip (keyboard software). mine works when I'm using the Eyron (Hebrew\English) sip, but with the HTC sip the leo ignores any press of remapped keys..

Ohg, and don't let the site confuse you - it's still freeware:)

http://ae.inc.ru/aekmapdownload.php

Nearly forgot, I only ever tested it on 1.61...
[HD2 General] Dirty Harry:
Thank you for the quick response! I'm already using version 1.3 so that shouldn't be the problem. But as you described, the HTC Leo simply ignores any remapped key.

Could you please go into more detail relating the Eyron solution? I just visited their consumer website but my Hewbrew is a little rusty... ;-)

Is there some English third-party software to achieve the same thing?
[HD2 General] DuperMan:
No ill will towards them, but their site isn't much good because they only offer a 7 or 14 week demo of the software itself. I played around with AEK in the meanwhile and it works on Topix 1.1.1 rom (based on 1.61 if I'm not mistaken) with Finger Keyboard, which in itself is one of the finest freeware I ever used.

I suspect HTC circumvented some of the input routines upon which AEKMap relies for injecting the altered keys. Try it with Finger Keyboard 2.1. If it won't work I'd suggest installing a free Arab or Hebrew Lang extender. It just has to be there to make the device "unstreamline" what HTC did.
[HD2 General] Dirty Harry:
Thank you for your support! Your hint was exactly what was needed as I installed TouchPal in the meantime and now AE Keyboard Mapper works like a charm!
[HD2 General] Aleemz:
Has anyone used AE Keyboard Mapper to get the extra/special functions of the igo stowaway keyboard to work?
[HD2 General] westfielddriver:
Hi,

I installed TouchPal and FingerKeyb, incl. the hebrew driver. Still can't get the stowaway keyboard work with AEK. Remapped keys simply are ignored. How exactly did you make it work with either TouchPal or FingerKeyboard?

If I get it working, I will try to remap the complete stowaway keyboard and publish the driver.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
which version of Think Outside Keyboard do you have, English Layout?
[HD2 General] fred1976:
Hello,

I am trying to make AEKMap work on my HD2 (installed the brand new ROM, 3.14)

I have the same problem as mentionned above: all remapped keys are ignored.

I tried to install FingerKeybore, TouchPal and even NullKeyboard, still doesn't work :(

Does someone have an other workaround? Is it because of the new ROM?

Also, as Dirty Harry mentions, the layout of the external keyboard is not the same as the HTC keyboard: AZERTY VS QWERTY !

Maybe there is a way to find the config file for the QWERTY and modify it?

Thanks in advance if you have any lead!
