Thank You for the insight.Seriously. I rarely post on forums (thats obvious in a few different ways!lol-btw ,should i not use lol anymore!?)and just thoughtn that CAPS helped highlight the main points...etc. I have helped a few people with unsolved issues over the few months here at XDA but always via PM, never really did many forum posts. Looking back on my previous posts i see the similarities and how-if thats considered 'yelling,irratating..etc', i can see how alot of people were turned off by my original post-for which i had apologized,but still flamed.

Anyway,in all the experiments ive done, the only thing ive managed was to get the torch partially working again, and piss a couple of people of for really minor reasons! Im going to check the 'tear down' guides to see how involved the N1 is to look inside and see if loose connector. Ive replaced 10+ iphone screens over the last few years, and deal w tolerances of .005" at work almost on a daily basis, so im comfortable w hands on procedures and have a *huge* (scared to type huge in caps!:( ) assortment of precision instruments.Well, moving onto google for some tear-down-guide hunting.
[Nexus One General] mikroN1:
Do the smart thing and call HTC. Send it in for repair. If they do it for free, voila your phone works. If they want to charge you ask them to send the phone back and try to fix it yourself.
[Nexus One General] Andrewtst:
Dear milton007,

Did you ever knew using capital letter means you are not happy, shouting and rude? My boss will kill me if I written a return email with full of caps.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may highlight your important sentence underline, italic or bold (normally I use bold for title only) if neccessary by a sentence not wording.

Your highlight wording is not neccessary, it only make difficulities on reading.

Make your long story with break, separate it with paragraph. This make easier reading.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And you are posting in wrong section as well. This shall be in General not here.

** Your camera probably is malfunction. Please send over to HTC for checking.
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
@milton007... my analysis pretty much re-iterates what several other have already said... it really looks like u have a hardware problem... someone reported a similar issue earlier somewhere on the forum... but I don't believe there was a followup... from what I've read, u've done restore, tried several ROMs, gone back to stock, tried camera mods, but no luck, so it looks like this being a software problem is pretty much eliminated... Contact Google customer service and try to get the phone serviced...
[Nexus One General] izmar:
try taking a small video clip and see if you can hear audio when you play it back. If you can then itll ensure that its a hardware issue.

PS. I LOVE CAPS, so **** the haters
[Nexus One General] mattisdada:
For future reference milton, to emphasis a point use the bold tool or even the

underline

tool. And use it wisely....

And using the [enter] key every now and then to block points is an easy and dirty way to improve readability (paragraphs).

Your problem seems to be hardware. Contact Google, be 100% honest, and they will direct you to HTC for a more than likely free repair. Remember to use etiquette when contacting consumer support for these sort of issues, a rude customer will always get the rotten end of the stick.

Also, do not try and fix the issue yourself. Only after you have contacted Google and they say you must pay for the repair, and you really dont want to pay the fee. More than likely the CMOS sensor is broken, (i only skimmed over your issue though, it was honestly to hard to read) in which case you wont be fixing it manually, you would need a new sensor.
[Nexus One General] slyydrr:
Just read it the way I read it!

I translate:

As:

TORCH ONE TURN ON CAMERA, HOME HOME... BACK ARROW TORCH SOMETHING ODD--SYSTEM STOCK FLASHES... LED TORCH NEVER

And then I dismiss it as I don't speak that language... Sorry not trying to be a jackass but seriously. After multiple requests against using caps in the posts, the OP (note: proper usage! hooray acronyms!) continued.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
Just a heads up for those who are interested.

There is a Tattoo build for the Vogue which works well also on the Kaiser. I've added Kaiser Wifi and Full Market (see page 10 in the thread).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625079

It's not maintained but it's surprisingly stable and fast.

Short instructions....

- hw3d.version should be set to 0 like with Myn's Warm Donut. (It's not Eclair)

- Install androidinstall.tar, then install my androidupdate.tar and fix permissions. Then boot it up for the first time.

- If you want Sense launcher and widgets it is added later. Make a backup of your data first as all the Sense stuff is stored there and with a backup you can easily bail out of Sense if you change your mind.

- Runs very nice and fast when installed in NAND. Propably a lot slower if installed on SD-card.

Must admit, the Facebook app for the HTC HD2 is pants. Before I had the HTC, I was on Blackberry Storm, and loved the Facebook app, as it used to download my alerts in real time.

But with the HTC HD2 I have to log in each time on the app, and have to refresh the facebook app. Complete rubbish I think.

Anyone know is the Facebook app on the HTC HD2 is going to get any better?
[HD2 General] skycamefalling:
You have an Opera browser and a big screen -make use of it!

Where's the point in using a stupid app for things that are way easier directly in the browser?
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
I find the app quicker, and more convenient! Well it was on the Blackberry Storm anyway...
[HD2 General] 96edwy:
hey dude, i know how you feel... i was a bit dissapointed with the facebook app at first but then i waited for a while, i tryed looking for a alternative third party app but nothing was any good, then i found a CAB on here for the new facebook for resistive screen phones, someone had made it work with HD2 and it works great, much better than the old one

i did a review of it on my youtube channel, you should check it out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7dDxLrP2GI
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Actually the constant need to log in is a bug. Everytime I flash a ROM, one of the first thing I do is to run the Facebook app, and tick the save login option. After that it never asks for login again....but you'll still have to refresh manually. I'm guessing it's more of a conflict with another installed apps or just general winmo weirdness. :D

Otherwise, yeah, the apps is pretty pathetic.
[HD2 General] s32bauer:
FB

Does anyone else have the problem that it saves the pics from Facebook into an album on the device memory, and then when you go into your albums you have tons and tons of albums because each pic is saved as an album?
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
I have the option "save details" ticked, but I have to type in my details everytime. Hence why I get frustrated!

Im using m.facebook.com for the time being, until HTC sort the facebook app out.
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
Yes I have that Facebook app installed on the HTC. But still ain't happy with it! lol
[HD2 General] Bonzo:
First; there are other people who also have the problem with FB not "saving" the login info.

Do a quick search and see if they've found a solution.

Second; http://touch.facebook.com might be more to your liking..

m.facebook.com is fine for Nokias, but the touch.facebook.com page is made for "iPhone-like" devices like our HD2.
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
That ain't half bad. Thanks!
[HD2 General] Tunay:
Umm, HTC has fixed this. Hotfix was relased months back!
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
That's why...it works only if you do it before installing too many other apps....so if u ever reflash a ROM, make sure logging into facebook and saving details is one of the first things u do. :)
[HD2 General] ribcage:
Wow! touch.facebook.com works perfectly for me, thanks for that! All Facebook apps have been made redundant.
[HD2 General] Rutster:
Hi s32bauer,

Yeah, i have the same problem. :confused:

Does my head in. :mad:
[HD2 General] Darcnes2604:
i use it and it works fine, always logged in, just have to refresh to see ppls updates...
[HD2 General] Darcnes2604:
Can you tell me where to find this fix, i found the one that requires using the registry editor but there are at least 60 folders with anywhere from 1 to 4 photos in each.

they are only little thumbnails as well

they way i read the registry tweak, it says to input each individual folder in...
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
The HTC Facebook ALbum hotfix (just installed) does not stop it downloading tiny pics from FB of all your contacts.

As from the HTC site:

restores the ability to view your friends’ photo albums

This suggests its related to privacy settings, and the app's ability to now process that correctly.

(i.e. able to view them online, but app wouldn't allow you to)

Can you point me in the direction of the registry fix for it?
[HD2 General] slim007:
Hi, my available device memory is down to 18mb, and I haven't really stored much there. Could it be due to the Facebook app, which keeps storing the pics in Device Memory? In that case, how do I free up this space?
[HD2 General] hagba:
In HD2 General go to Hints page and do what is sudgested in No:64 than install an App called ClearTemp in the Menu click sellect all and and clean once a day at least.it will take just a few seconds.

Edit::looks on the hint page is not cleare enough".

Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored

Add a new string: Name – Facebook Cache,

Value – \temp\imagecache
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
That should be \fbimagecache

and it worked.

Thanks for that.
[HD2 General] sean_swanson:
Facebook Contacts

I used to have a motorola cliq and the one thing i liked about the phone is your facebook contacts would sync with your contacts.

Anyway to get that going on the HD2?
[HD2 General] hagba:
No \fbimagecache here,mine is\imagecache.
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
Ah, mines fbimagecache

which makes sense, as its for fb.

perhaps something to do with the version of FB app.
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
sometimes HD2 finds matching contacts with existing ones in your contacts...but most of the time you have to go add them all separately by editing and finding the right friend :)
[HD2 General] namwollem:
New Facebook CAB available

Hi!

A bit of searching on the forums revealed this thread, dealing with a new version of the Facebook app.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627072

I have tried it, and after a few niggles, it works much better than the app that comes with the stock ROM!
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
That's the version I got on my HD2, but ain't keen on it in the slightest.
[HD2 General] namwollem:
Admittedly it doesn't come close to the iPhone or Android apps, but much better than the cr@p version I had on my HD2!! :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] danny01327:
Hi. I am a dev who is fairly new to the Android platform. I recently acquired a droid eris running 2.1 leak v3. I am interested in upgrading to root. I was wondering if anyone had achieved root in any of the leaks? If not, is anyone working on it? If so I may be able to help.

Thanks in advance and I apologize if any of these questions had already been answered. I have searched all over this forum and other forums and could not find a recent answer to these questions.

Also, I hear the OTA is right around the corner and might be the exact same as the third leak. Should I just wait until that comes out to attempt to achieve root? I do not want to spend hours of my time working on this only to have the OTA come out the next day and have done this for nothing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
if u are on the leaked 2.1 you can not root your phone ,it has been asked and asked , they are working on it ,

When I get an email in Gmail on the Xperia X10, there is a quick, "New Email" that flashes in the menu bar. After that there is nothing. Why is there no steady email icon on the menu bar? Is this a 1.6 deal? I've been using 2.1, till yesterday.

I've checked off "Notify In Status Bar When Message Arrives" in Gmail settings.

Hi...I created a ringtone and added it to a folder called Notifications. I found this out from another site. However, the ringtone fails to associate itself with emails - - it rings when I plug my phone into a USB for example. This is a normal "notification" and not what I want. I did find a notification folder under media>audio>notifications. When I moved my ringtones to that folder they showed up under my ringtone options. However, the ringtone does not trigger when I get an email. Still playing around with it. I've lost the notification for emails which is probably due to something I've done editing folders on the phone...

I spoke to Sony Ericsson tech support about this and they draw a blank. I called Rogers Wireless, which offers the phone and they don't know. Any Android phone I've ever used, and I've used several, has a Gmail icon in the notification bar when you have mail in the inbox. Not this phone.

No need to be rude.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
Funny given the fact it was my idea to open this thread in the first place... :)

By the way, I said that because it would make it easier to be able to root the device and have a chance of getting a bootloader with less restrictions, but hey, if you don't care...perfectly fine for me, I really don't care what you do think either. (yes, sorry, I know what you always say, don't feed the trolls... I just couldn't resist myself)

Back on topic, all htc phones used to have the serial port shared with the handsfree/usb plug, does anybody know where is the serial port for this phone is? I'd need a full dmesg and check what the bootloader says through serial when it starts... That's how haykuro found a hole for 32A Magic..

I know part of the main board is designed by htc, so unless SE removed it from the final design it should be there somewhere... maybe on the audio jack?

I know nothing when it comes to rooting, but I do know Android is linux, and the X10 runs kernel 2.6.29, I found an exploit for this kernel but I don't know if it's possible to use on our Android OS??

Here's the link, hope it helps in some way......

Here's one more:

sorry :) rough day
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sim-value:
Hi,

the first one will surely not work (a needed configuration option is not set) the other one looks promising.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] edude03:
I tried the code this came from myself (before seeing this) and it seems to do something, however I've yet to figure out what the code actually does.

I think since this code works on the tattoo,if someone who know what result we are trying to obtain (other than root I mean) explains it, someone (maybe even myself) could probably get it to work on the SE X10.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
Hi, that exploit had to be run inside of a while (don't ask me why, that's what it says in the original exploit @milw0rm and on the post on tattoo forum). It goes over and over, I think until it makes a buffer overflow, then dump you into a root shell.

I didn't get it to work, my theroy is SE patched it (that's why I said on my first post on this thread to notice the build date of the kernel). The real problem we're facing is kernel version 2.6.29 is one year old, and what a lot of android phones have, but the compilation date is March 2010, so they might have patched all the holes people have found until then, so the m7 won't work.

Though maybe it just needs some little modification and I'm completely wrong... wich is absolutely possible too ;)

I just bought some 3.5" 4pin jacks to see if we have a shared serial port on the audio jack... will post if I found something in there!

EDIT: be careful guys,this phone is quite delicate,first try and battery calibration went nuts.. fixed already,but thought you should know...

@net_vampire32: no worries, we all have them sometimes.. ;)

How do you compile the shoryuken.c exploit on Windows? Otherwise also on Linux? I would like to try it on my X10.

Till now I haven't got my account for Emma. So I'm still waiting....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bin4ry:
For compilig use the Android-NDK (NOT SDK!). Create an Android.mk and Application.mk

If you need an example Android.mk and Application.mk write an PN.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mimok:
This exploit cannot be used because the X10 linux kernel is patched.

I downloaded the X10 kernel sources from the SE web site and I checked the ptrace.c file in the kernel folder. Unfortunately, it is patched.

However, because SE provides the X10 kernel source code, we can easily check if an exploit can be used or not.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nbk1986:
Hmmm... I ran the m7 exploit twice in two shells. Both quits with an error like @edude03 posted before. So you got no chance to type in commands like id, ls -l , cat.... But if you have got busybox you can excute some more options. So I typed in /data/local/busybox vi /default.prop

My Bash opened it with no problems, but if I'd like to edit via vi, I get errors. On Linux sometime vi sucks also, too. In that cases it's becaus of wrong interpreting the input devices, like keyboard...

Can someone please checkout?

@ardf69

How it can be patched? The exploit works on that kernel -> Linux matthew-desktop 2.6.29-020629-generic #020629 SMP Tue Mar 24 12:03:21 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

And my X10 Kernel is from -> Linux localhost 2.6.29-rel #2 PREEMPT Wed Mar 10 16:53:36 JST 2010 armv7l GNU/Linux

Please comapre these two dates! Or am I wrong?
