Everything you need to know - about flashing the HD2 - * HERE * (to the Mods, andchange this vauable info can be made a sticky in the ROM section?)
[Desire General] hamhacker:
Hi. Sorry to hear you having trouble, I'm not too sure. But sounds to me like its a display issue? You may have a Desire with the new cheaper display, not a amoled.screen? Think I remember reading in the forums blank screens and issues with roms. (please check other treads)

The good news is I think its recoverable. Sorry. I can't be of mote help.
[Desire General] AndroidRulez:
Thanks for the reply,

I had a better search around and found showthread.php?t=747393 which describes apparently the same problem, although I haven't messed with bootloaders. It was fixed by installing the OTA update blind by pressing buttons in the right order.

It is indeed possible I have a different screen type, or perhaps a different model of AMOLED, does anyone know how to tell the difference? I do notice the screen is more reflective than my G1, which I think is associated with AMOLEDs, but that might just be down to 2 yrs of wear and tear.

Anyway, I will try it now let you know how I get on!

Thanks!
[Desire General] dickenz:
As above you have a Desire with an SLCD screen.

You will have a HBOOT of 0.83 or 0.92 - You need a rooting and/or debranding guide for those HBOOTs. The current guides only work for HBOOT 0.80 and lower.

Here is your fix for your current problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748498&highlight=brick+fix+SLCD
[Desire General] AndroidRulez:
I couldn't get the pressing buttons blindly method to work, but method 2 from dickenz's link worked a treat.

It gave me WWE Android 2.1, and I immediately got the OTA update to Froyo, WOOHOO!

Can I suggest we create a section in the pinned ROM topic listing RRUs and OTAs compatible with the new screens? That'll make it more obvious to new visitors.

Thanks for your help both of you, I'll stay around the forums!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waebi:
been thinking of that for some time now, would LOVE that. But I read somewhere that it may be a problem to use the USB port as host...

http://www.gphoto.org/ ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleity:
i recently found out that it is possible to do this with a nintendo ds but it requires some DIY work or paying someone to do this for you, surprisingly even in germany there seem to be some people building these.

my uncle bought one of these cables/modules for his canon 5dmk2 a few weeks ago. since i got my hands on it I thought about how awesome such a feature would be (preferably wireless) on an a phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeusalmighty:
I would love something like that! An android phone would make the holy grail of dSLR remote controls. Time intervals, exposure settings, super-smooth HDRI with bracketing of multiple photos, live view, hell even motion activated shooting (figure out a way to detect motion from image through the live view and trigger a shutter release every time that happens).

Anyone up for this?! I'll be getting both my SGS and 5DMKII in about a month, super willing to beta-test ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minus30:
I'd love this too for Nikon Devices!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaus27:
It is possible. Only drawback is that a laptop is needed like with the iphone app.

So a possible setup would be like this:

Camera <-> USB cable <-> Laptop running Linux <-> WLAN/Edge/3G <-> Android

The only big dislike is the laptop in that chain :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeusalmighty:
It's the same setup used for the iPhone, it's basically a remote control setup and I can't really see how it helps that much, it feels like more of a gimmick rather than something helpful since you still need to carry a laptop with you.

Now, if the camera could be directly connected to the phone, that'd be awesome, since you pretty much carry a phone with you at all times.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaus27:
That's the point. It is not possible... well, everything is, but the effort cannot be worth the outcome.

It is more likely to do it with an Arduino board with Wlan chip and USB host.

But then again, you have to reverse engineer the Nikon and Canon protocols or use the linux library.... Should be possible, but you need to buy some hardware anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaus27:
Check this:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...h/gphoto/remote.html&cd=1&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de

Cheap plug-computers like sheevaplug or this one: http://www.ionicsplug.com/cumulus.html would make it kind of easy as they run linux, have USB connector(s) and have WLAN (sheevaplug needs USB WLAN stick).

Cross-compiling gphoto library, writing a software which talks through gphoto to the cam and report the capabilities back to the connected Android / Iphone.

Only (major) drawback is that those plug computers need a power supply. I have seen someone running sheevaplug with solar panel :).

Sheevaplug is around 75€, so quite affordable.

I need to connect my 5DM2 and check whether things like touch-focus, live preview and stuff would be possible...

What do you think about the power plug issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeusalmighty:
Hehe, I like how you assumed that I can understand these things ;) I dont :(

At work atm but will try to read through the article, but as I understand so far, this guy uses a small linux computer that can communicate through a WLAN adapter so you basically have a wifi remote control. Looks pretty darn cool, especially for the money, and using a solar panel would be awesome!

Only thing is that it doesn't have that much to do with android as far as I can tell, if it's a web interface then you can use it with any device, right?

What I was thinking was more in the likes of a replacement for the $100+ timer triggers with your phone. I think it should be possible but maybe people wouldn't invest in it (though I think they should).

BTW, I just remembered that you can also trigger the camera through the headphone jack, as with those diy remote releases. Do you think there could be a way to use the SGS headphone jack to cause shutter releases? You wouldn't get any control of the settings from the phone, but you could still program time intervals or bulb shots! Hey, even motion sensing shots, provided you dock your phone some place. And you have to admit it doesn't sound too difficult, right?

See the diy thing here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Rem...or-Canon-Cameras/step2/Cut-off-the-ear-peice/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrigham:
If/when someone does make something like this, I would think a small netbook would be sufficiently portable, compared to a 15" or 17" laptop, to use as the "host" device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaus27:
I see. The thing is there are ready to use solutions out there which do exactly what you are requesting.

My approach was a different one. I wanted to be able to mount the camera somewhere, connect sheevaplug, then go somewhere and remotely control the camera in every aspect. Imaging you have to shoot a marriage. You could place the camera somewhere, take a seat somewhere and see exactly the live-view image from the camera, can point somewhere on the touchscreen to focus on that point, control exposure settings and hit the button to take the shot.

That was my approach. If I would be able to achieve this just with a sheevaplug computer for 75€, that would be great. But there still is the issue with the power necessary to run the computer.

Another problem would be to gain the time needed to write the app. I am able to do that, but time is rare...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeusalmighty:
I can understand the appeal, as I said it would be awesome to have such a setup, just not for me so far. I'll try to understand how the shutter release works through the remote and report here, i think the headphone jack would be really nice considering that no amount of extra equipment would be necessary, apart from the cable.

Just a quick question, why would you require any coding on the phone, why not use a VNC-like application and install the official canon application on windows?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaus27:
have you ever tried to watch a movie through a VNC connection?

Sheevaplug is driven by a Marvell ARM CPU, no x86 which would be needed by Windows. So only possible way would be to install linux with virtualization, setup windows XP in a container, install EOS software and a VNC server, then use a crappy VNC client on Android to control my camera? Sounds like a crappy setup to me :)

Having a small, slick and performant native UI would be muuuuuuch better.

I personally don't think that you will succeed with this headphone jack thingie. But I wish you good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeusalmighty:
Hehe, thanks ;)

Good luck with ur project.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchizoDuckie:
Lookie what I just found...

Googling aroud on more general terms for this topic, i found someone pointing to libgPhoto, a multi platform camera control lib: *crap, cannot post links, wtf*

*edit* google for libGphoto, it also has a remote.

Looking a bit further, i came across this:

google for : gitorious agphoto2 commits / master

Now i haven't found any more info on the project yet, but this looks like a project that some of us here on XDA could maybe join in on.. The only problem that then remains is the usb-usb cable There's an actual start on porting an existing lib available!

Currently waiting for cable delivery. Should have it this week, then I can finally start trying to get it to properly work.

Third cable, pray this one works, lol. Some concern I have is that the only host device I currently have is 2.3.3, and it may be possible it requires 2.3.4+ or 3.0+ for it. Not sure yet though. Else there will be some more waiting... :)

But as a (really amateur) photographer, sooner or later I will get this working ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
And there's progress :)

Not a lot of it, but at least I'm talking to the cam. Note that with Android 3.2 this will actually be pretty easy to do, but I hope to get this working on 2.3.4 :) (might require root on 2.3.4 though!)

[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
So I just got another new case.

I got it from eBay seller augustonline for $3.89 w/ free shipping.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Rubber-Ha...000-GALAXY-S-/150475142893?pt=PDA_Accessories

This is similar to the mesh snap-on case that others have posted about. It's a single piece that snaps on to the back of the phone. The material is hard plastic but it has a bit of a rubberized feel which provides just a little grip.

The fit is perfect. And, unlike the mesh case, it does not have the awkward cutout for the TV antenna that the Korean cases have.

As others have pointed out with this type of case, it does not provide full protection for all sides. I was also concerned about this, but found that it wraps around the edges just enough to protect the face of the phone. So, if you place it face-down the phone doesn't touch. Also, the corners are protected but the top and bottom are exposed.

It's a solid color with no branding so if you really like the Galaxy S logo, you won't be able to see it with this case.

All in all, this is a nice case and if you like this type of case, I would definitely recommend it. It fits well, has a nice clean look to it, and is less than $5. I think this will be my daily driver for a while (or until some positive reviews of the SGP Slider case start coming in).
[Vibrant Accessories] oswade:
Sweet as :) I was wondering whether the fit would be good or not, so thats good news :)

Can't wait for my orange one to get here!
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
Cool good to know it fits perfectly :) i ordered a green one of these almost two weeks ago i should be receiving it any day now
[Vibrant Accessories] newstoneage:
The case isn't bad for $4 (or the $8 I paid from a US seller), but don't expect it to hold up for very long. The rubberized texture is wearing off after less than a week.
[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
I was just thinking about updating this post when I saw your reply. I noticed this morning that the rubberized coating is coming off on the corners of the case. It's not very noticeable at the moment, but I imagine it will start to peel off everywhere in the not so distant future.

For me the case is temporary until SGP gets their stuff together, but I don't think I would recommend this case to anyone that is looking for long-term protection.
[Vibrant Accessories] iamtimmah:
that looks pretty gnarly. I have the snap on two piece case from T-Mobile. With the chrome bezel and rubbery back. Once I get bored of it I'll have to try that one.
[Vibrant Accessories] Goog1e Phone:
Love this case so far. Especially with my custom logo! =D

There is no player on the warriors with the number 89. That's just the number I like personally.
[Vibrant Accessories] salman.a:
I don't think this can be compared to mesh case. The quality of the korean mesh case is awesome. That is why it is like 20 bucks.

Please, somebody tell me there's hope. 2 really annoying & disappointing things are happening. My bluetooth keeps randomly disconnecting, and to make matters worse the status bar icon still shows it is connected, but it's not. Second, I am dropping calls almost daily, and I'm mostly in places where 2 seconds before the drop I had 4 bars!!! I went to a store today & got a replacement SIM (50.01 vs. 39.01 markings) hoping that might solve it, not happening. And the signal strength almost never shows less than -105 dBm, sometimes -97. I NEVER had a dropped call or any bluetotth issues with either my old trusty G1 or the MT3G I just came from. I'm really trying to love the phone, it has so many positives. But the fact that it's a "phone" and it's basic function is skewered is pissing me off big time. Please, someone tell me I ain't the only one experiencing these issues, and, that either the OTA FroYo or Cyan's first ROM is gonna fix 'em? Better yet, any known fixes now? Are these issues in any way related to the data issues, possibly? When I called Tech Support last night they said to try a hard reset, but I really don't want to do so, unless I can flash one of the stock/de-TW'ed "stock" ROM's written about in the Dev. threads. Anyone have any concrete suggestions or explanations? Thanks...

Ok so I don't know if this has been mentioned before and if it has I apologize. I searched and didn't find anything. So I am running CM6 and as you guys know it comes with ADW. So if you press and hold the launcher icon and swipe up and hides the tab along with the phone and broswer to the left and right. Then I dragged some icons down and to my surprise they stayed. To get the launcher icon back all you do is swipe down in te area and it pops back up. Thought it was kinda cool. You can also add more apps then what the screen width allows you too and they are scrollable. Here is what my screen look like right now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jkcpsal:
