Does anyone know how to make Video Call over cellular network on the Desire. I do not see a second camera for dual screen video call.

Next, does anyone know how to install Garmin Modile XT on the Desire?

I would appreciate all leads and pointers. Thank you.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
The Desire does not have a front camera. Android doesn't support front camera's; not for the moment anyway.
[Desire Themes and Apps] fakeuser456:
How is this related to Desire Android Development?
[Desire Themes and Apps] cyberdroxxx:
Is there any software or files that we port to make use of the front camera instead?

I am very sorry if this is the wrong thread. Moderators can move this to the appropriate thread then.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
So, which part of The Desire does not have a front camera did you not actually understand?
[Desire Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Yes! Sell the Desire and buy a Windows Mobile phone or a Blackberry, because Garmin don't have an Android version! ;)

[Desire Themes and Apps] patasenko:
Damn, some people are offensive in here.

It is not possible to do 2way video call but i think it will be possible to receive video call. Same thing was with my SE M600, did not have front camera, or back for that matter, but had the ability to receive video call over 3g.

Regarding Garmin, no not yet. You should contact Garmin on that as they are producers, but they do not do Android yet, but may in the future.

Edit: The only Android phone so far is Evo 4g which is gonna hit the states this summer, has the front camera and will be capable of video calling both ways. For the rest of the world it will take some time.
[Desire Themes and Apps] SGTDavePwnage:
Id hardly call any of the posts offensive. The fact is that post has NOTHING to do with development, and to make things even worse the OP clearly ignored responses from others about the device not even having a second camera.

If anything the thread needs to be moved/deleted and people need to stop trying to answer the OP's questions as the OP is just ignoring people.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cyberdroxxx:
Sorry for the confusion. I mean using the main camera so that the other caller can see me during video call, if that is possible. Is there any software development for such thing over here?

Take it easy guys. Don't be too hard on me. I'm a noob with Android, shifting from WinMo.
[Desire Themes and Apps] str4vag:
I dont see why you need Garmin XT as there are other alternatives for Android.

1. Use google maps (require a data plan)

2. CoPilot and a few others for offline navigation option.

for option 2, you need to buy the correct map version and you're set.
[Desire Themes and Apps] _Dejan_:
Because for some countries is Garmin best navigation which is possible to get...

Example for Slovenia iGo, TomTom, Sygic... have terible maps. In our town our street which is old more than 30 years do not have house nr coverage...

Google maps is not navigation.

hi,

my touch diamond 2's touch screen stop working randomly ( i think that i applied too much pressure on 1 spot for too long). I can see the touch screen dots on the area. I am just wondering if I were to repair this, would i be replacing the DIGITIZER or the TOUCH SCREEN.

Thank you soo much :D:D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonngu1991:
I have decided to fix the part myself since I do not wish to ship the part to their location in the US. Any idea if its the digitizer or the LCD screen that i should be replacing?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Search the Wiki, there are dismantle instructions.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyb:
I had the same on my display, and was able to move the dark spot to the edges where it disappeared.

I moved it with scratching it with my nail very gently applying some pressure.

In Europe HTC offers a pickup and return warranty, is that different in the US? If it is the same I would send it in to HTC for replacement, since it might happen again pretty soon....

I already have 3 screens replaced :-(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercurialcc:
jason, did u manage to fix this? i have the exact same problem and pushing the "bubbles" towards the edge of the screen didn't help. my screen is still unresponsive..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Try applying duct tape to it repeatedly until you get it back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2Fresh:
Yes, both

I recently replaced the Touch Screen on my Diamond 2. Same problem; spots that "stick" in the middle. I used to solve this by running both my thumbs down the sides of the screen to "puff up" the low areas in the middle.

The part you want is actually called a "Digitizer Touch Screen" on eBay, cheap too. Prepare to spend about 2 hours fiddling with very tiny screws, connections and glue to tackle the job.

The hardest part for me was actually getting the Touch Screen to work; it seemed to be calibrated in mirror-image AND turned 90 degrees sideways, which made getting to the calibration functionality an extremely frustrating experience. I spend another 3 hours on that, but now I've got a perfect phone again, since I ordered a new case as well. No use taking the entire phone apart and then rebuilding with a molested outer shell...

Working Solution Till Now

Hello Friends,

I have TD2 mobile and today I had same issue. I was thinking it was because of the weather or some.

I remember it did happend several time before, but when I restart the device several time it does work. So I was ignoring.... But today it did not work.. looks like going toward end... So I did soft and hard reset without and that did not helped me.

So I switched off the mobile, "heated" the touch screen gently with my hand for 1 min and started the mobile again and it worked for me .

Not sure if this is a solution, but will work.

May be I will contact Service Center here in Hyderbad and see what is wrong here?

Hope this will help you all...

Thanks.

Solution

Okay, I've just had this problem with an HTC Touch, and I think this works with any HTC that has a "digitizer" rather than an all-in-one touchscreen (I think newer phones have digitisers).

I'm not sure if this will always work, but I've just done it - sometimes the inactive touch screen is "broken" because the layers are stuck together (so the phone can't tell where the touch is, hence unresponsive). With mine, I looked at the screen side on and could see a kind of "oily" patch in the light.

The solution is to get masking/gaffa tape - the very sticky brown one. Stick it down on the screen/digitizer and then keep pulling it off - this pulls the layers from each other. I kept repeating this lots before it worked - and in the end I pulled the top layer completely off (I think you should pull from the top of the phone, as the layers need to be attached at the bottom of the screen/digitizer). Once it pulled away, I gently lay it back down (after panicking!!) and hey presto it started working again.

Good luck!

Digitizer replaced but still not working

The touch screen on my Touch Diamond2 stopped responding to my touch (or the stylus) and I tried everything including removing and replacing the digitizer bus just in case the connection was the issue. But all to no avail. Finally I decided to replace the digitizer (touch screen)

The problem for me is that it made no difference. The new digitizer doesn't respond to my touch either. The problem is apparently somewhere else.

If anyone has encountered this problem and has a solution I would be grateful to know what it is.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoofty:
Replace the Touch Diamond2 Digitizer touch screen.

I recently replaced the digitizer (touch screen) on my HTC Touch Diamond2. Since I found on the net, no instructions for replacing the actual digitizer, I thought I might include some here.

It was relatively easy to fit. The only difficulty I encountered was a lack of information about how to actually remove the old one. The various instruction sets found on the web all stop once the screen is removed. But the digitizer is not covered by these instructions. The digitizer is bonded to a thin glass immediately under your screen protector (if you have one fitted) and after the screen is removed following instructions you will find on the net, the digitizer and the thin glass sheet that it is bonded to must be prized off from the front of the housing. The digitizer separates from the glass easily, but the glass is securely bonded to the housing with a silicon glue. It must be prized off by gently lifting a corner and applying a little upward pressure allowing the glue to slowly and gently let go. Don't be surprised if the glass breaks during the process. Once off it is a simple matter to press the new one in place. Just remember to start by slipping the connector bus (cable) through the narrow slot between the metal outer housing and the inner components. I used a set of tweezers to poke it through. DO IT FIRST before pressing the digitizer into place.

Okay, as I said the process was easy and took about 15 minutes all up.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosya:
i tried this and worked for me .

i removed the screen protector and switched off the mobile and heated the screen with my thumb and it worked again

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neocyke:
Thanks for the heads up on the glass part mate. Just replaced my TD2 digitizer too. Kinda freaked out at first when the glass split.. haha

Anyway, just wanna 1 more info. When removing the old digitizer, it'll be easier if the front housing was heated first (with a hairdryer on full or a heatgun) to soften the glue. It'll be easier to remove afterwards.

Word of warning though. Only head the housing when REMOVING the old digitizer, DO NOT use this method when applying the new one. The digitizer dies because of heat. Heat is what causes the newton rings issue.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozkarah:
Fixing TD2 touch screen

TD2 touch screen is a common problem I guess.

Symptoms are :

1- Touch screen does not respond sometimes

2- You can see a grease like layer under the touch screen

3- Sometimes if you look closer to the screen at some part you can see a a liquidized small area.

Solutions:

1- If you see the liquidized dot on the screen turn off the display and try to rub it with your finger until it disappears. turn it on again and try if it works. I guess heating with the finger as other peeople here suggest does the same thing. However this is a temporary solution. Your touchscreen will die at some date. I used my TD2 for 8-9 months using this method. But at the end touchscreen died.

2- Replace the digitzer or complete frontcover. Actually this might be easier than you think. I replaced mine in half an hour. I bought a front cover which includes the digitzer (http://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-HTC...zer_Ersatzteile_Werkzeuge&hash=item4cfe6f78dc) and openning tools from ebay. Dimanıond 2 disassemble and assemble videos on youtube were very helpful. I strongly suggest to buy the complete frontcover (inc digitzer). It makes replace process much easier and gives the device a brand new look. My old front cover was worn from the corners (which is also very commpn problem of TD2). Now it looks brand new. No strach on the display and body.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmses:
Thnks Ozkarah.

I happened to realize that, surprisingly, the touch screen of my HD2 started working if I heated it up with a hairdryer. So, I think something else is wrong beyond the touch screen, probably the connector to the main board of the mobile. It might expand once it is hot and that is why it starts working. In any case, I think that is beyond repair :(

[Droid Eris General] vash8806:
K so I've been trying to figure out how to change the annoying "verizon wireless" carrier name off my lock screen and notification bar...and heres how to do it..

as for the file

... download the zip file in post #8 and extract it to your "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\" directory.

Then open it up in notepad and edit the part that says "Verizon Wireless" to anything you want.

for those that aren't too familiar with adb:

(you must install android SDK, you'll find links to do this in the Droid Eris Android Development and Hacking section)

1. connect your phone to compter, enable usb debugging and open up command prompt. (don't mount SD card)

2. in command prompt, type "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\" then enter...(now you have moved to working within your "tools" folder, where your adb program resides...

3. Type "adb remount"

4. Any file you want to push to your phone, you must put into the "tools" folder on your computer...then use the following command...

"adb push "filename" "directory on your phone"

(example... adb push YouTube.apk /system/apps)

5. To push the edited carrier file, use the following command..

adb push eri.xml /data/

6. To finish the process, reboot by using this command...

adb reboot

Now when you pull your notification bar down, your carrier name will be changed..
[Droid Eris General] Framework43:
to do this, you need to edit eri.xml in framework-res.apk

Use google :)
[Droid Eris General] stud33:
can u do that for at&t?
[Droid Eris General] droidkevlar:
Googled and found which file to edit. When I search it in hex, I dont see Verizon Wireless in it. Am I missing something?

EDIT: I dont think this applies for the Eris but it does for the Droid. Just looking around a lil bit and a few others have said this. Anyone know the exact file for Eris?

You need motorola Q drivers and a Windows XP 32bit to work.

Step 2. Read the post of jpg001 of this link:

I am in the army and spend alot of time in the deserts of new mexico and el paso texas. This is the case that i use and swear by. It has one cover that snaps onto your phone and you slide that into the holster. It protects the screen and since it is rubberized, it keeps most of the sand out.

Any time i go out to a nasty place i keep my phone in this case inside a zip-lock bag and inside a fairly thick pouch on my body armor. If we go out for a month and my phone breaks on day two then i have to go 28 days without a phone.

Verizon doesnt ship to a sand dune in the desert.

BTW, I am going to Afghanistan in August so i'll be able to write something up on the ways to protect your phone.
