i removed the camera

my friend has a mytouch and i messed around inside and the camera fore closes now. so i had bricked a different one and decided to take it apart and see what the camera entailed. it is super easy. in short, remove the 3 screws holding the camera circuit board in, use a fingernail to unclip the seated black rectangular bar (bottom left of circuit board) and the circuit board will flip up giving you access to the camera clip. undo the tape and use a fingernail to unclip the camera from the board.

i am going to try and remember to make a video when i take hers out. i'll post a link here if i do.

I have a hTC Pure that is currently not connected to any wireless provider but it is from at&t and I would like to mess around with it. I know next to nothing about mobile phones and am really confused about flashing roms, customizing the phones to make winmo work for me

so is there a good indepth guide explaining windows mobile or editinng mobile phones and benefit of it?
[Captivate General] fsrkewd:
hello guys,

i am planning to order the captivate through the premier website

when i check out, i didn't have to add data plan to my account, but if i add the iphone, i have to add the data plan.

does this mean at&t will not add the data plan even after i activate my phone?

anyone ordered through premier and able to use it without at&t forcing a data plan into your account?
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
no, eventually you'll get a text saying they've added a data plan so you can avoid large charges.

their system got smart, if they have you imei, they know what model phone you have and they can dole things out accordingly
[Captivate General] fsrkewd:
i switched from touch pro to pure last year in november( not upgrade, got it somewhere else), and i didn't get any text nor any data plan even though they recognize my phone in the system
[Captivate General] S4NDM4NN:
It was just made mandatory sometime in November or December of 2009. I believe people that had smart phones before then are still allowed to stay on the pay per use(.02 per kb). Although when they upgrade their phone they will be forced into a data plan.
[Captivate General] rexian:
Did you order from Premier without data plan? I am in the same boat and would like to know about this as well. I am eligible for an upgrade in Sep and would like to get a Captivate (or any other Smartphone) to replace my Fuze (no data plan currently). Thanks.
[Captivate General] S4NDM4NN:
As I said in the post before you, the data plan is added for you automatically. I went round and round with at&t when they added it to one of my lines(in december). I was even able to get the data plan turned off, just to be enabled again only an hour later. Moral of the story is if you want the phone you have to have data (with at&t atleast). Even if you have a phone that currently does not have data and you upgrade. The primary account holder will receive an email addressing this once a smart phone is detected.
[Captivate General] rexian:
I think they can override it if they want to. I lost my SIM during an overseas travel and got a new one for the same old number last month from AT&T.

After I put that in my Fuze and activated it, I got a text saying an "appropriate" data plan has been added for this smartphone.

I didn't contact them, just waited to see what happens in the bill, it still came just for the voice. No data plan. So it might be possible if one can convince them. $15 plan is not a biggie but I work from home so even that would be a waste.
[Captivate General] specularius:
Does anyone know if you have the $30 data and text plan, will that be changed if I order through the premeir website? I tried to upgrade at a corporate store and was told since my phone of record was a Samsung Eternity, I did not have a smartphone plan and would therefore have to upgrade to the new data plans. I refused the upgrade. When I first got the Eternity, I had a $35 data plan. A couple of months before the change to the data plans, I changed the data plan to the $30 a month smartphone plan, saving $5 a month. Does anyone know how this would go? Thanks.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Your Eternity is not a smartphone. And smartphone data plan does not include any texting. $30/m is for data only. Texting is extra.

So, whatever your current plan is, it won't carry over to a smartphone. And since you don't have any unlimited smartphone data plan, you will only get the 2GB data plan if you buy a smartphone now.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i have the medianet unlimited data for $10 (with family txting), and i bought my captivate from ebay..is ATT gonna figure out that i need to change data plans?
[Captivate General] uberamd:
Yes it is highly likely. I called AT&T a while back when I got my Nexus and told them I got a "new generic phone" and that I wanted Media Net. They asked me for the IMEI and said "Thats a Nexus One, thats not a generic phone!" and forced me to get the $30/mo plan. Basically they have the IMEI ranges for nearly every device out there and if its a smartphone they will charge you for the smartphone data package.
[Captivate General] Sirfearoth:
I would say yes, because it is a ATT branded phone. I had G1 and used their $10 data package without a problem. I did have a pantech matrix when I got the data package though, just didn't tell them about the G1.

[Captivate General] emuneee:
You guys are all asking the same exact question. No one, but AT&T knows.

I have had a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 on my AT&T account with the $30 unlimited data/txt package from Nov 2008 - January 2010. I wasn't switched over at all. But this was an unbranded unlocked smartphone.

Then I had a AT&T branded Motorola Q9h smartphone on the same $30 plan from January until I got my Captivate on the 18th. I wasn't switched over at all while using the Q9h even though, the online account manager recognized by phone.

It's going to be hit or miss. Just use your phone and if you aren't caught, well congrats. If you are, just pay or switch carriers.
[Captivate General] pantsmessiah:
I put my old tilt on my wife's line and she used it for about 5 months without a data plan. AT&T says in their ToS they have the right to add a data plan to your line if they find you are using a smartphone without one, but they never added it to her account.

Most likely because she had 0 data usage. When I upgraded through At&T to the captivate I was forced to add it.
[Captivate General] Battlehymn:
AT&T only recently started adding the data plans automatically for smartphones. The system can now detect and add the service to your plan without your approval or interaction. The data service CAN be removed and blocked from ever being added to your plan again by a manager, but if you have a new phone that you bought at the subsidy price (read: with contract) then you will probably have to either pony up for the non-contract price or keep the data plan.

If you already had a data plan your service will remain unchanged if you upgrade your phone wether a data plan is required or not.

In 07-08 my wife and I both had Blackberry Pearl 8110's, hers was just the standard was AT&T locked and had been given to her by her mother, mine was purchased unlocked and unbranded. I dropped mine and the screen broke, but I kept it around. In April her phone started to act up ... so I took her phone apart and put the screen on my old unlocked BB inserted her SIM and she was back in business like nothing ever happened. 2 days later she recieved a text that an "appropriate" data plan had been added. She never wanted a dataAT&T only recently started adding the data plans automatically for smartphones. The system can now detect and add the service to your plan without your approval or interaction.

I have a Premier account with unlimited talk, text and data on my and my son's lines and unlimited talk and text on my wife and daughters lines.

When I contacted AT&T they informed me that unless the service has a block put on it by a manager that the data plan will indeed re-add itself.

EDIT: IDK WTH happened here .... it was like 3 posts in one, hopefully fixed!!!

Hey everyone! I am pretty new here to XDA, registering account-wise, i have always followed everyone's awesome knowledge from here.

Well I hope to bring some good exposure and knowledge to help contribute to the xda cause. I have been recording How To videos on things I have found from all the great work you guys have done from the forums.

I try to explain things simply to non-technical people and make it somewhat easy. These first couple of videos might be a little rough, but this is my first attempt at doing video-tutorials.

Anyways I would appreciate any feedback from you guys. I also give credit where credit is due, i have linked to the original source of the thread if I used anyone's specific method.

Would anyone like me to do a video for anything else? I have a couple more ideas such as how to put the droidx multitouch keyboard on, installing samsung kies software/drivers and also how to remove the AT&T bloatware.

take care everyone and keep up the awesome work!!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
Ok, so I'm still an ignorant newb. Now that I got that out of the way I have a couple of things to bring to the table.

First, (do you agree/disagree) if I run into a problem with the phone, which I suspect is on sprint's end, would it be a good idea to flash back to maybe a stock rooted rom, so when customer service or advanced technical sport lackies try to walk us through crap on the phone, I won't be like.... Uhhhhh. My common sense says yeah.

Ok, second stupid question. Will they (the talented devs) ever make a truly open source rom with apps too? I know that would be a lot of work, that I am certainly not qualified to even begin to do, to write replacement apps for all the proprietary ones. Has this topic ever been brought up in the past?

I know that the seasoned veterans of xda are probably wanting to stick an ice pick through their ear by now, sorry. I try my best, when I have a legitimate question, to ask it in a way that if it got an answer, it could benefit other people besides myself. I was amazed how many times people were asking the same question, in the same topic, and even on the same page! It was about flashing gapps.

I did some reading and tried to learn a little bit with the few remaining brain cells I have. I don't claim to be smarter or better than anyone else around here either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sph33r:
Answer to Question 1 is Yes, just like you guessed. Always smart to be stock when dealing with Sprint. Especially since Cyanogen is based on AOSP which has things in different places from the rom running Sense.

And #2 .. that's a HUGE job that really doesn't need to be done. Cyanogen got around it by putting the apps in a 2nd flashable zip. It really isn't a lot of work to flash that 2nd zip. I keep it on my sd card and when I flash a new rom (I tend to wipe after each nightly just to be safe), I slap the Gapps down on top and I'm golden.

I don't (yet) use Cyanogen but am following this as early on I read that it would/might allow full unrestricted HDMI out. When/if it does I will use it assuming 4G also works. Most of the other issues are not important to me.

Maybe an update to whether it includes full HDMI is buried somewhere in the voluminous posts on this and I missed, but could this be added to the list of Q & A's?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
What ROM are you using?

-------------
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbressman:
I think I'm still using the original (stock?) ROM.

I originally rooted my phone using the downloadable app from Unrevoked.

Then, I used Unrevoked3 to flash a custom recovery to my phone so that I could use Unrevoked's uptodate in order to install the OTA that was being pushed out by HTC (I installed the OTA from Unrevoked, not the one that was actually being pushed out).

So, I don't think I'm using any different ROM than the one that originally came with the phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
That's very odd if you're still on the stock ROM. If you want to try something simply to get it to work vs finding the root of the problem; I'd recommend giving this a try: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7323601&postcount=4489
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbressman:
Any chance you or someone else could help me find the root of the problem - It seems like it must be something that happened with Unrevoked's method of rooting the phone or using the OTA update, but it's hard to get in touch with them...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
i'm not sure how unrevoked3 works, but i know for the other full nand unlock & root, there was an engineering rom installed that wouldn't let you see protected apps in the market.

To see if that's the issue you could try making a nandroid backup through your custom recovery & then flashing another rom & seeing if the apps show up. Either way, you can restore the backup afterwards if you don't like the custom rom.
