This lens from Dealextreme.com is great. It did take a while for delivery, but it was worth the wait. Here are some pics that I took with it over the weekend. I love this thing. It's the best $10 I have ever spent!
[EVO 4G Accessories] B3RL1N:
Very nice. I especially like the one of the flower with water droplets on it!

After looking at these shots, I'm not sure how "required" this lens is though. It just seems that having this lens would make it much easier to take these macro shots.

I took these photos here with nothing but a small magnifying glass and my EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ricoo25:
Wow! Those are great too!

The thing that I do like about the lens is that it's small and it attaches magnetically.

Just got mine. It took a while to delivery, but the overall quality of the camera is increased drastically. Not just for close up shots, but overall. I took pictures with the lens and without and the difference is noticeable.

[EVO 4G Accessories] kvznko:
Just got mine from DX after waiting for about 2 weeks. It's really fun for those interested in adding some macro capabilities to your phone.

What I'm concerned now is if the strong magnets have any impact on my evo. Anyone have any idea? The lens themselves have a slightly weaker magnet, but the magnetic "washer" (ring) they include is pretty strong.
[EVO 4G Accessories] davebu:
Just got mine and tested it with a few shots, it really does work and the magnet rings that come with it (2) fit nicely around the lense. they actually provide a nice comfort between a table and the lense so there is no chance of scratching.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ricoo25:
OMG, that thing is awesome! I'm ordering one now. My phone is going be the John Holmes of smartphones. Hopefully it works. I'll report back when I get it. Thanks for the tip!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Minjin:
Too bad the Evo doesn't have an actual macro mode. I wish HTC would hire away some camera people from companies that know how to do it right like Nokia or SE.
[EVO 4G Accessories] willfck4beer:
Do the magnets just mess up the compass while a lens is attached or do they permanently magnify the metal ring around the lens and cause permanent compass distortions?

Or is this a non-issue?
[EVO 4G Accessories] willfck4beer:
I emailed brando the other day to see when they will have accessories - and they report "very soon"

I can't wait for the 6X optical telescope. I know it looks a bit janky... but those things rock! tiny, pocketable, not too much vignetting or distortion...
[EVO 4G Accessories] brennen.exe:
For those of you wanting faster shipping, [eBay sells them too].
[EVO 4G Accessories] kvznko:
I'm wondering about this as well. Furthermore, I'm scared the magnets (pretty strong) might damage the phone components.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jasongthang:
It says 8x zoom, but scrolling down it says the specs are 3x zoom.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ricoo25:
The magnet on the lens doesn't even attach to the lens on your phone very strongly. Actually you have to be pretty careful not to shake it off the phone. I wan't testing the compass while it was on there, but I haven't seen anything different since. I had it attached for several hours while on a hike. I think its a non-issue about hurting the electronics
[EVO 4G Accessories] ricoo25:
I saw that too. I almost didn't order it. It got my curiosity up though and i thought that either way would it would be interesting.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Nitro2985:
How are you folks attaching it to the camera? The lens magnet isn't strong enough to stay on mine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ricoo25:
If you're not using the whole wide angle lens, it will stay on (using just the macro lens). Just don't move around too fast. It's not perfect but it works.
[EVO 4G Accessories] krizno:
Why not for ten bucks its worth it just to make it a little better ten bucks why not?
[EVO 4G Accessories] _LeCiel_:
Do anyone thinks this lens (or any other for that matter) could work on the Touch Pro2? It obviously wouldn't stick but would it let me make macro pictures?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ricoo25:
Yeah I'm sure it will work. It comes with tiny washers that you can apply to your phone if you're willing, then it will attach nicely. Otherwise just hold or in place.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Chaebi69:
Wow, I'm jealous.

I saw this thread thanks to XDA-Portal. Unfortunately, I'm an HTC HD2 user.

Any opinions about the HD2? As far as I'm concerned, the HD2's camera is very round-square-ish, unlike Evo's round shape. Any feedback or recommended product would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[EVO 4G Accessories] daktah:
i love that site! anyone know any other good "chinese warehouse-type" sites?
[EVO 4G Accessories] timothydonohue:
just a note for the curious, i received my lens, ordered from dealextreme, a few days ago (3-4 weeks after ordering, mind you. whoever it was that said shipping was slow was absolutely correct). if you fix one of the supplied metal rings to the bit of the metal lens support on the phone's camera, the magnet on the lens holds it on just fine. pictures are okay using the macro lens, not super duper. wide photos are pretty meh.

worth the ten bucks, for sure, but i would have been disappointed if i had spent twenty or more on it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gthing:
I had the washer affixed to my phone for the last week or so. Today I had to exchange my phone at sprint and the washer came right off without a problem or leaving residue. Just wanted to let you know in case you're nervous about putting it on your phone.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Faelok:
I got the macro/wide lens for my wife's Evo 4g, but just for fun I wanted to see if it would also work on my HD2... guess what? It works great. Here's how the macro lens looks on my HD2.

Without lens. (only magnetic ring attached)

The only downside is that the magnetic metal ring that sticks on the camera does not come in contact with much of the camera surface. I've noticed the same problem on the Evo4g. I'm currently working on a modification for the attachment on my HD2 to make it more permanent (the magnet not the lens). I'm happy to report though that the macro shots look incredible (on both our phones).

Help finding the right attachment

Hi there,

I was wanting to get a camera lens attachmnt for my mother, but her EVO has the mid sized battery extender pack which makes the back a little uneven. Does anyone know of any lenses that will work ith an uneven back?

Thank you so much for your help.

[EVO 4G General] phobos512:
First off, I have NOT made ANY attempt to use the phone as a WiFi hotspot, and I do NOT live in a 4G area, so don't tell me that's my problem and send me on my way :)

About 11am PDT today my phone started giving me Error Code 67 (Data Call Failure) whenever I try to access the internet or data services from my office (my office has an 850 MHz repeater so I roam in the office). When I am outside or not in my office and the phone picks up a Sprint signal, everything is fine. As soon as I come back inside and my phone switches to roaming, Error Code 67. I've had two calls with Sprint so far...They're updating the provisioning servers or some such thing at the moment and are going to call me back when that's completed.

Has anyone else experienced this today or recently and if so did you find a resolution? I can't easily take the phone back to where I bought it and have them fiddle with it in person as that's 100 mi away.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] th3taman:
I've had the same issue too. See it mostly when traveling and the signal strength changes. Not to much when I'm in one spot.

It's quite annoying. I turn the display off and on hoping to pick the signal back up. Makes me think it is a Sprint network problem especially since I've now confirmed someone else has the problem too.

[EVO 4G General] phobos512:
Well, they've got me fixed up again. Also while I was on the phone the gentleman helping me out received an interoffice message stating a server responsible for doing profile updates (Device Configuration message) on the EVO had gone down, so they're failing right now.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I have been getting it as well. I thought it was the roaming hack but I don't believe that is the case. Think it's just something on Sprints network.
[EVO 4G General] djboo4you:
I have gotten it too on both of my EVO's....I guess it's not just me
[EVO 4G General] phobos512:
Yeah I read through that whole thread and it seems a fair amount of people have had this happen today. And as I wrote in that thread some service at Sprint related to sending out new PRLs and profiles to our phones went down as well.
[EVO 4G General] alex2792:
I had the same problem yesterday my 3g suddenly went out with the 67 error but 4g still worked. I called sprint and they reset something on their end and after programming itself it w.ent away and my 3g data speed saw a nice speedbump
[EVO 4G General] blakejohnson86:
I've had this issue a few times with my Evo. Every time it has happened to me, I've had little or no signal.

What I think is happening is that the phone begins to authenticate itself with the data servers but then I lose reception, which causes the authentication to fail, hence the error message.

I _think_ I've had this happen on my Hero too.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
yeah, (don't quote me on this, i may be wrong) i think error 67 is in regards to no data hookup, and if your phone is set to not get data during roaming, or to dilly dally about it (maybe roam guard?) (check settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks), it'll give you that error
[EVO 4G General] Tilton53:
I too had this issue for a while today. It was annoying the crap out of me.
[EVO 4G General] cloudyphiz:
same thing happened to me today, for some reason i wasn't able to get anything but a weak roaming signal at work all day. i called sprint, they wiped my phone and i still wasn't able to do the profile/prl update. i was able to do it once i left the building, of course i had to start with a blank slate on the phone. i'm hoping that after the updates i get a better signal in the building, otherwise i can't keep the phone and will have to return it for a (gag) iphone. after 3 days with a vastly superior OS that would be a tough thing to do.
[EVO 4G General] djboo4you:
Mine is def. not the Roam settings... That's the first thing I do is turn off Roam guard, call guard, special roam ring...etc. due to me having almost no signal at work.
[EVO 4G General] Midnigh7:
I had this issue when I changed to the Alltel PRL. I rebooted, then ran the PRL update. It took a while to do, but once it got the Sprint PRL everything was fine.

-Midnigh7-
[EVO 4G General] tmidle8575:
I had the same issue yesterday around the same time as the OP. Seems that maybe Sprint was having issues. Anyway, phone is back working and roaming today and even roaming 3G in the DC metro which is Verizon and was never Alltel AFAIK, so that's cool. Actually, some stations have Sprint in them, but others are Verizon and I had 3G Roaming in them today, so I was pleasently surprised, hope it sticks.
[Desire General] freaksey:
Hi there guys,

Since today the speaker on the back of the Desire seems to be broken.

First I thought it was something like a driver bug or whatever because I flashed my Desire to Froyo (DeFrost 0.7) yesterday evening, but even after reseting and flash back to the stock ROM, it still isnt working.

Could this be a software error in ANY way or is the speaker just broken and I have to send it to HTC?
[Desire General] freaksey:
lol.. allright guys. The Desire seems to be made of pretty cheap plastic.. i removed the battery cover and pressed on the speaker a few times.. suddenly the music began to play. Looks like "kicking against stuff to make it work" works with the desire :)

You will have much better luck getting your questioned answered in Cookies Thread.
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
This happened to me randomly after installing an older version of WKtasks. If that's the case, search for the wktasks optimized for the HD2 thread. Or better still, I switched to xTasks, which is much more versatile.

if you don't have wktasks, then sorry, can't help you here. I suggest you uninstall your programs backwards, and see if the problem recurs.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] will_990:
Hi.

Unfortunately, the signal strength of our service provider has deteriorated quite rapidly causing much crackling and connection losses in the last couple of weeks.

Therefor I'm in need of an external antenna (indoor) to boost the signal strength; finding an antenna is not the problem, finding a suitable connector cable to connect the antenna to my X7500 however is a problem.

Can anyone provide me with a link to an adaptor cable / connector cable (Europe preferred) to connect an external antenna to my X7500? I'm not sure if a GPS connector cable would also work for this, so any help is appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Can someone please point me to a light weight CDMA ROM for the Touch Pro 2, Verizon...

I have tried researching and haven't had any luck. I just want somethign stable right now too, I am havign text message issues with sending old messages...

Try looking in the forum I've posted below. It caters much more to the CDMA technology. This one leans toward GSM. That being said, I think Clueless makes a light ROM, for Verizon, and you absolutely can't go wrong with MightyROM or Mr X ROMs.

[Touch HD General] 5fifty5:
I have been using cooked roms on my blackstone for a while now. However, my concern from the beginning has been that these are battery drainer.

I bought it second hand and it had call time of around 60 Hours both IN and OUT.

On 6.1, I used internet very little, but I used to call a lot and listen to music as well for about 2-3 hours a day. In that OS, it used to go up to 3 days.

Then I came into the world of xda-developers and things changed :P. The battery didn't last for more than a day and a half with the usage I mentioned above. That prompted me to buy new battery.

Since then, On cooked ROM's, I leave my email check for every 15 minutes and weather to an hour. With this usage it hardly last for 2 days on the new battery and I hardly make a call!!

If I make calls, use Opera, it would die in literally half a day.

Can people share their experiences about battery life and cooked roms etc???

I really dont want to go back to 6.1 and I want to keep using 6.5 but the battery issues are really annoying now.

I have used pretty much all the ROM's (Energy, PQD, XannyTech, KWBR, blackStonehenge) with same usage and all of them have yielded same results so it's not ROM based...

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] marksm:
I'm using the last ROM that Dutty made for us. With 6 email accounts checking every 15 minutes and an Outlook push account, blue tooth enabled and sometimes an hour of phone use. My phone can't go more than 4 hours on a charge.
[Touch HD General] bravo2zero:
Thanks for the heads up. In a few hours I´m getting my own Blackstone with a stock OS. I was already set to change the ROM but with this post will have to delay it a bit until a fix can be found.
[Touch HD General] marksm:
Oh, it wasn't that bad at first, it could go a full day. It's just as you add programs and then remove them things get progressively worse. I really need to flash it again to clean it up but I hate having to set everything up again. I'm not a habitual flasher :)
[Touch HD General] 5fifty5:
Luckily, I have found one.

All you need to do is stop using your mobile on 3G.

I have tested it on Energy ROM. With 3G switched on, it lost around 25% of charge in a day on email check for every 15 min and weather for half hour. without any calls.

With 3G switched off and the rest of settings, the charge had only gone down by 12% and that included a couple of calls.

To be honest, I dont think you really need 3G unless you are using internet a lot. Even then, you may switch it on and switch it back off.

I will be trying the new MaxSense UI as well to see whether that helps the battery or not!!

[EVO 4G General] catpunt:
Just wanted to throw this out there because it's something I've been thinking about...

Seeing how easy it is to take apart the Evo, and seeing the market for HD2 LCD replacements on Ebay and other web shops, I don't think it's too farfetched that perhaps we might eventually see an Evo LCD upgrade? Some worthy improvements:

1. AMOLED (I know this is an arguable point)

2. Pixel density

3. Touch screen digitizer response

4. Improved power consumption

I personally would pay $100 for an LCD+glass drop-in replacement unit that I could install myself to make my Evo even more pimp. I don't think this is an unreasonable idea. Thoughts?
