[Captivate Accessories] YellowGTO:
Hey guys in my quest to find a decent case to hold my Captivate, I wanted to see how much bigger it was then my touch pro 2 and... it fits in TP2 case :-). I found this for like a dollar or something close its made by Caseko.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] mirchichamu:
Today I found that my camera is not present in the programs. I did some power saving tweaks. I am not sure whether that has caused my camera to disappear or un installed or something unknown has caused it un installed.

How can I re install. Please help.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] karthiksk:
The "Camera" exe file should be there in the Windows Folder. copy that, paste a shortcut in the start menu in the Windows folder itself. that should fix things. (if things havent gone too wrong).
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] mirchichamu:
Thanks karthiksk for reply.

I found two files. One HTC_camera and other Camera. Both I copied to start menu BUT still my camera not working. The icons are now present in programs menu but when I click on them nothing happens.

Further help will be appreciated.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Shreyas Jani:
Here have this file downloaded on ur opal.

http://www.mediafire.com/?xfj3971uvy4pr8p

OR better reflash ur current ROM.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] mirchichamu:
Thanks shreyas18.

I installed the file but it didn't work.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Shreyas Jani:
Sorry.

Try reflashing the rom...cant help much then.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Lsagara:
I know this is gonna sound a little weird, but it happened to me, and this is how u can solve it, the problem its on the hardware of the phone not the software, so reflashing the rom wont do anything, since the problem is inside, firste turn off the phone, then remove the back lit, then lightly press with both of your finger the area surrounding the camera, (like trying to push on the opposite direction of the camera) then turn on your phone and go directly to the photo tab, on the touch flo, and that should do it
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] karthiksk:
no offence Lsagara, but i doubt its a hardware issue, even if it were a hardware issue there is no reason for the files to disappear

@mirchichamu:

1)What happens when you run the "Camera" file from the windows folder itself?

2)You could use M2DC to customize your softkey to access camera. What happens when you do that?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] marcopolo:
Same problem - File deleted

Hello,

The file you have provided above has been deleted from the Mediafire.

Were you able to locate any solution? Even I am facing the same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soraxd:
im trying to root for 2.2, but for some reason im getting this error?

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(Device or resource busy)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

Installation aborted.

ive placed it on my internal SD card, its 790kb in size. anyone have any ideas?

also, i think i may have heard you need to flash 2.2 as MODEM, i flashed it as PDA, but its working fine with the exception of rejecting root, could this be an issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BackfireNL:
OMG! please leave this forum if you don't know how to use the search button! There is a whole deticated topic!

You have to flash it as the PDA or else it wouldnt work! and fail to flash!

[Android Software Development] LivinOne:
I have a few pages designed to work mainly with the iPhone IU. They use tables to contain the element and work on Android they do not autoscale like they do on the iPhone?

I use the following to scale on the iPhone...

<meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0; user-scalable=0;" />

I tried several options with the Android but none work. Like this...

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0; user-scalable=0;">

If I set the initial-scale to 1.5 it will scale, but it does not autoscale like the iPhone does when the iPhone is rotated... any help is appreciated!

After looking an another page which uses DIV, and also scales properly, I think the issue may be that Android does not properly autoscale tables?

Can anyone lend some experience and advice? Thx
[Hero CDMA General] FussyQBert:
So, I'm sure most of you have noticed that the phone charges MUCH more slowly via USB port than wall outlet. I was investigating this on Google, and ran across this page:

http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/help/power-and-battery

Under "How long should it take to charge my battery?", it says that when your charge through USB port it is using the "Trickle Charge Fuction". Any idea what this is? If its necessary? Or if it can be disabled?

If its not needed and can be disabled that would really help out because I'm usually charging from my computer at work.

Discuss
[Hero CDMA General] c00ller:
I don't think it can be changed as the current output of a USB 2.0 port is limited to 500mA (I think). If you look at the ac adapter that came with the phone, you'll see that it's current output is 1100mA. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Hero CDMA General] FussyQBert:
Yes, that sounds correct c00ller.

However, checking USB power levels through device manager shows the phone asking for ~250mA while the USB port says its capable of outputting 500mA. To see this, go into device manager, expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers, and go through the properties on each "USB Root Hub" until you find the one that must be your phone. For example, I had a few different hubs, 1 with my mouse, 1 with my keyboard, and 1 for my phone. In the properties, go under the "Power" tab to see the Total Power Available for the hub and how much power each device in that hub is taking.

Maybe it would be possible to change something in the phone to accept 500mA for maximum USB charging speed.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I'm getting the same kind of thing. I took a screenshot and attached it.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Decad3nce was looking at messing with the drvier a few days ago to see if he could get a little more juice out of it. Not sure how it went.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
my phone wont turn on after applied the leaked OTA. does that mean my phone is gone?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
yep
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattbbx:
Wont turn on as-in when you press the power button absolutely nothing happens?

Take the battery out and press power a few times, then put the battery back in and try again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
no, not even vol down + power. i will bring it to a verizon store and see.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Did you apply the OTA twice, if you did naughty naughty. You have a brick.

Also have you tried a battery pull?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
no i didnt apply it twice. and yes i tried the pull. after applied the ota it ask me to hit power button to reboot and after that nothing happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattbbx:
As far as I know, bricking a radio update would atleast still allow you to turn the phone on, it would just be stuck at initializing the bootloader, correct me if I'm wrong anyone--

Also I would not bring it into a verizon store. Wait until the official OTA is released, then say you had a problem with that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
thats a great idea. should i suspend my service or let it run for a month?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattbbx:
Just let your service continue as normal.

Also, silly question, I know, but have you tried variations of plugging it in/unplugging with/without battery?

And when you plug the phone in, does the charge light come on?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
yea i did that, no light come on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htc_woe_is_me:
The update should be here in less than a month. Didn't you get the insurance? Just claim it lost/stolen. If you have a moral dilemma in doing that then just toss it in a dumpster or a lake. Then claim it lost/stolen.

Sent from my Rooted Incredible w/Froyo
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Can you hold power + optical button to boot to bootloader and recovery? If so you could possible get it fixed of you follow this guide:

http://androidforums.com/all-things...16-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html

If your phone doesnt function at all you could attempt the following.

You could just say this at a Verizon store.

I charged my phone last night, when I woke up this morning the back of the phone was extremely hot almost to hot to hold and when I tried to turn the phone on or whatever you want to say pressed the power key, etc it would not turn on or you could say your screen came on for a second and then went out and the phone powered down and would not come back on.

Or

if you have insurance just say it was stolen, lost, dropped in a lake, etc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattbbx:
Strange--i'm not sure if a bricked radio would cause that, but it could perhaps indicate another issue. Does the radio's firmware also control the phones power/charging system?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
i didnt bought the insurance. i guess i will use the 2.2 OTA reason. i hope its August 6th!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TNS201:
Dont forget to take out your SD card first, and battery :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
yes and yes it could. the radio contains the big bad bootloaders. if it stopped mid update, its gone. you might try connecting usb to pc. and see if you get a device id.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
nope totally die. now i dont even have a backup phone to use...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattbbx:
I guess if that gets nuked the only way to recover it would be a manual hot-air removal and a manual reflash of the chip itself (good luck finding the papers for it), and then reflowing the chip back to the board (also assuming here it's one NAND). You'd think with the way these things work they would have a fail-over chip or something, phone falls off desk during OTA, battery goes flying. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shadowmite:
explain exactly what you did, and what it did. as much detail as possible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
1. i downloaded PB31IMG from the leaked 2.2 thread last night. (old pb31img). installed and got it running. he said install official OTA but none pushed to me.

so i downloaded the new PB31IMG and installed over. BUT after installed, the phone reboot and running great.

2. next, i download the leaked OTA and rename it to update *zip file*

3. i boot into recovery and start the update. after that it said something like, hit power button/reboot to continue the process. so i did. after that a green circle with arrow point counter-clockwise showed up and after a moment it turned off and on *same green icon* and off again. after that nothing happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruoh:
He didn't follow directions. They are quite simple with the exception of making sure the SD card has been formatted correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
format fat32 thats what i use, double checked
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruoh:
IIRC, the phone goes through three "cycles" of the green update arrows. Did you pull your battery or SD card during one of those cycles, thinking that it wasn't doing anything?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
after the 3rd cycles, it went black for a while. so i press power to see if it turn on, but nothing happen, then i pulled battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Did you follow this step (before flashing the Froyo update):
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GMK83:
Bingo.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
damn FML.....

i cant get a new one because its back order and im pretty broken :/
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
How long is 'a while'? A minute, 5 minutes.. 10 minutes? Just curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heavensblade23:
Sorry about your luck. Pulling the battery when the phone is flashing something is a bad idea. I'd wait 2 hours before I'd attempt a battery pull if I thought it could potentially be flashing something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
it went black for a min. so i decided to press the power button, but nothing happen. so i went and pulled the battery......damn
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
zeke, after reading your saga, I truly am sorry for you. Good luck...

I hope anyone thinking about getting too anxious while performing a flash reads this and thinks twice before yanking a battery out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heavensblade23:
You waited a minute and then pulled the battery? Impatience has cost you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Waiting a minute is too short. Sorry :(

Same here, that's why you're advised to do these types of things with a fully charged battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elborak:
And conscience...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heffe2001:
Just take the phone in as it is now, say it died, and you'll get a FRU unit at the very least (my phone was only 2 days old when it bricked, went into a boot loop, before I took it in, I did the double-load of the leaked OTA, had the same symptoms as you did). They'll replace it, just don't mention rooted, ota's, or any of that, it just died. Had my replacement in about 3 days (not including the weekend that fell between them tho, lol).

As much as we pay Verizon for our fees, etc, I don't feel bad at ALL about getting mine replaced...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
It should be noted in the OP for flashing that it has to go through 3 steps when flashing the radio. Not to confuse people and cause bricks. I thought mine was in an endless loop until I noticed the third reboot was shorter then the first two.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chris61292:
just do the what someone else posted... the battery got hot and phone died when i turned it on
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gummehbear:
I also bricked my phone in this exact manner. There was a long pause after the 2nd loop (~1min) and pressing the power button did nothing, i also pulled the battery. Very pissed, but i definitely wont do that again. I have a replacement on the way, should be here 8/3, in the mean time im using my gf's old blackberry pearl, boy does it feel ancient after using the DINC. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bubbleywine:
same exact thing now im oin the damnlg envy touch thank god for insuarnce .........so any one want to buy a $500 ****y paper weight
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gummehbear:
don't you mean an excellent paper weight? considering that's all it has to do it should work just fine. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bubbleywine:
it would probably be to light:D:D:D:D but on a better note is there anything we can do with the phone part out wise
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
if i call VZN and told them my phone suddenly turned off and cant turn it back on. will they give me or sell me a cheap refurbish phone?

thanks, i will try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
on the phone with tech support. they are sending me a replacement overnight to me and sending the old one back. for free.

reason: just die and wont turn it back on.

will they find out about my brick/root and charge me?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilinfinityil:
if it's bricked on our end, there's a very small chance they can recover it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Captchunk:
That's a tough break man, but at least you are getting a quick replacement and hopefully it'll help other people from having the same issue. Thanks for posting your problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pozer69:
wow, this is happening to a few people...add me to the list, my replacement is on its way also. My story goes like this, I started the update at work, got busy talking to people, I wasn't paying attention to the reboot cycles and after a couple of minutes of a black screen, I pulled my battery...bricked :eek:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilinfinityil:
so basically the moral of the story is to not be impatient or else you'll brick your phone.

that should be the idea everyone in the community keeps in mind anyways.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bansheestealth:
For the record, it is four cycles with the green "update" icon. Three without a status bar, and one short look at the icon with a status bar at the end.

I don't know why the updates took so long for the rest of you, combined it was less than five minutes on my phone. Might be advisable to make sure the SD card is empty with only the required file on each pass through Recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kulaa:
What is that old infomercial saying " Just set it and forget it". When booted, play.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
I got my replacement!! rooted!

is there a way to find out its an AMOLED or TFT screen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CaptainTaco:
Cover the lens, take a photo, view the photo in full screen in a pitch black room, if the screen produces light, TFT, no light, AMOLED. (if your stupid menu, back, home, search buttons are shining with furry, try to cover them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
tried to cover those 4 keys, but still little light shining out. any way, i think i got a AMOLED! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
I thought the Incredible wasn't switching to the Sony LCDs anyway? At least... HTC only confirmed it for the Nexus One and the Desire.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pozer69:
Thats what she said!

Verizon rep told me the same thing, droidx and incredible are NOT switching to lcd screens, but we all know how reliable those sources are.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nmyeti:
this statement alone should be enough for you to doubt your source.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TrailBlazer31:
Honestly can't believe no one thought of this.

To tell if it is amoled or tft, take your incredible outside. If you can see the screen you got tft, if not. AMOLED! Lol.

Also you may want to consider doing what I do. Buy a case for your phone that is a pain in the a$$ to take off (like a 2 piece snap case. Mine sucks so bad to take off, that I would much rather NOT have to. I will just wait it out. So when you go to pull the battery, you REALLY have to think to yourself...."do I really want to do this?".

Good luck man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bman12479:
Hi Zeke you got your replacement already??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shortbushemi:
u know verizon has to be going "why are all these incredibles not turning on all of a sudden" lol

and easy way to tell if its TFT or AMOLED... look at it. if u can't tell the difference between AMOLED or TFT, does it really matter??? and for the record I can tell the difference by looking at it. AMOLED is much more vivid and contrast

and for the record, i can see my inc out in broad daylight just fine.. and I live in florida... i guess some people with these phones must be blind.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
yup, free over night shipping! bricked yesterday morning, called last night, received it this morning haha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bman12479:
lol that is great I'm bricked too was so upset I should get new one 2morrow
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Wow there has been alot of brickage lately. Bummer!

I read this thread right before i applied the update, and if i didnt, i would probably be om the lost of bticks too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bman12479:
I always thought bricked meant wiped out but this baby is dead and buried I mean it wont even take a charge I cant believe it !!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I have to say that my dinc has been very good to me as far as durability toward bricks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Phillyrider807:
So the same thing happened to me. I do have insurance however i just filled out the asurion thing online and it placed the phone on backorder. How did yall get it back within a day? Did u do it through asurion or go to a verizon store?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
i think you are getting a brand new one.

as for me, i got a replacement. i called them and told them that my phone is die and wont turn on. then, they sent me a replacement over night for free.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] taylor310:
Ugh so I was flashing the ota radio update, it showed the green thing 2 or 3 times and now the screen is completely blank, and it's not doing anything. I haven't pulled the battery or anything.

I really hope my phone isn't bricked.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
So I got my phone on launch day, and I don't have insurance. What if I bricked my phone, can I call VRW for replacement?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crashdogy:
This work for like a charme frist try !!

:D Non Rooted Phone

1. Download dinc_ota.zip, rename it to update.zip and place it in the root of your SDCARD.

2. Now boot into recovery and apply the zip.

2a. adb reboot recovery if powered up or Power + Volume Down then select Recovery.

2b. Now hit Power + Volume Up to bring up the Recovery menu.

2c. Now select apply update.zip

3. Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Baseband version and verify that it's 2.05.00.06.11.

4. Now download and run Unrevoked 3 to root and install ClockworkMod recovery.

5. Now you can go ahead and do a Full Wipe then install the Stock Froyo rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
same as me, i pre-ordered mine and didnt bought the insurance. i just called and told them my phone is dead. cant turn it on nor even charging led. they will dispatch a replacement phone to you. the replacement phone basically a refurbish phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
i know this is an older thread, but i'm really curious as to whether or not you made it through this OK. i haven't updated the radio yet but i'm thinking about doing it tomorrow...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
i got the replacement phone and sent back the bricked one. didnt charge me or anything.

as for radio 2.0, i gave up on it. haha

i will wait until the official 2.2 release and see how does it go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] supremex3:
Pulling out Battery necessary to boot in to bootloader?

I never took out my battery when i rooted/updated OTA leak 8.1/patch/install unrevoked forever/splash screen/etc...-

whenever the instructions tells me to pull out battery then put it back in at boot menu..i just ignore that step. i don't see the point.. everything for me is all right so far (fingers cross)

is it even necessary to take out the battery when you reboot in to bootloader?
