I was trying to remove the camera on my N1 today and I broke off two small chips near the screen connector. These seem to control the red and green on the screen as I can only see blue and black on the screen right now. I was wondering:

1) If this could be what causes some people to have to much blue or red on their screens, and bad chip in my opinion could cause this.

2) If anyone knows a parts supplier who would be able to sell me these chips?

Thank you all.

labeled as red and green marked chips next to the screen connector
[Nexus One General] _Dennis_:
Just wanted to add. Everything else works well and the phone seems fine just only blue shows up. So I will continue to use the phone and apply the blue render effect from cyanogen mod to hopefully not cause issues with the screen.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Those appear to just be resistors to me, but you wouldn't be able to change them out with a normal soldering iron.

I'd suggest you look around for someone with some tools and SMD soldering experience. Although how you managed to break off some resister packs is beyond me. Or why one would try to manually remove a camera, also beyond me..
[Nexus One General] _Dennis_:
The soldering iron won't be a problem. I work in a shop that does repairs on circuit cards. I was removing the camera since I work in a area that has classified material and so am not allowed to have camera phones.

I also thought resistor packs but did not have time to meter them so I said IC because more people may be able to understand.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Good, hopefully someone can help you fix it, or you can fix it.. Hopefully no pads were lifted or damaged. PCB repair is always fun to do, although not terribly hard unless the connection goes down into another layer. I used to do it a few years back, wish I still had the equipment available every so often.

I'd definitely verify exactly what the IC's are, but from the appearance I'll bet they are RP's, but they are making inductors in packs these days too IIRC, and really they could be anything. Markings on them should be fairly easy to look up.
[Nexus One General] _Dennis_:
Aye, I'm buying a $60 water damaged N1 from eBay and wi will try to canabilize the parts I need from there....the post said screen works perfectly. The solder work won't be difficult, different then the resistors and DIPS I usually repair but not outside what I was trained in. I will attempt to look up any numbers I see under the microscope but I had it under earlier and did not notice any numbers, but I was not looking for numbers, just assessing damage which for one maybe repairable but the other is broken in 2 pieces. Thanks for the encouragement though.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
I believe these might be 0-ohm resistor packs. Use a magnifier glass and try to read any markings they have, google them - you'll probably get the component datasheet in the results.
[Nexus One General] _Dennis_:
Well after further experimentation I have red and blue working. Though I get strange artifacts on the screen.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ernestyung:
Thanks for all replies...

In fact, I read the forum for the whole day and what I have found so far is that all touch pro 2 android 2.2 ROM did not fix all problem yet. Therefore, I am asking for any ROM that works for all function even 2.1 ROM.

As far as I know, HD2 has launched the 2.2. ROM with all function working, don't know if that ROM can be applied on Touch Pro 2?

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
The ROM itself has no impact on hardware functions working, and those are all kernel issues. It doesn't matter if you put the same 2.2 HD2 ROM on your phone (which is easy to do) the TP2 kernel is more advanced than the HD2, and therefore further behind.

I have android running on my TP2 (verizon). Its nice to have both OS's on 1 phone, but its still very unstable, no sound, gps, cam, bluetooth, screen goes black 1 out of 3 times, phone still Lags. Im pretty sure these guys will get it right in a near future, so big ups for them!

Thank you Reefermattness~!!What I read all is just install in my memory card and that is....However, what I read from HD2 thread is that they need to hardSPL the handset before install the android ROM...That's why I worry so much....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Well a quick tip is don't read the HD2 forum for a TP2. ;)

There are people that use this with stock ROM/Radio just fine.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahi58:
Hi everyone.

HTC Desire is being found in my country better than other android phones, but I have a serious problem with its bad video recording framerate (15). I tried to download a video sample, and it was really bad as I thought (no offense to the fans :D).

My phone's video recording ability is important for me, so please don't give answers like: this is a phone, go get a camcorder, ...

Some people say that it will have HD 720P support in future firmware updates, but I wanna know is there a plan to improve the framerate as well?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
As the phone records direct to the SD card I would suggest trying a faster class of card and see if that affects things at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
the desire already has 720p recording, but keep in mind its limited by its hardware, 1 ghz isnt alot to encode HD and i know the iphone has better HD recording but i think that has somthing to do with its improved gpu, recording at lower resolution is flawless so why not do that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawoa:
Galaxy S and iPhone 4 are the first phones that are likely to have the processing power to record 720p with decent framerates. Desire just isn't as powerful, no matter how it's optimized it won't be perfect, ever.

However, even those two phones (probably) don't benefit much in terms of real video quality by just upping the recorded resolution. Trying to fit even a BAD 720p-capable sensor in a phone form factor isn't going to be a reality for a couple years or so, I'd estimate. Right now you get lots of extra pixels but the picture doesn't actually look any better since the sensor is too small to properly capture such high resolution.

It's something like the "megapixel war" that went on (and continues to some extent) between the major camera vendors. There's not more space to use a better sensor, they just make the sensor try to interpret the light better. Now it's phone vendors claiming they can do 720p when in reality the sensors they're using are probably capable of "real" 480i resolution at best.

But you can see the result... take two shots on the phone of your choice, one at 3mp or so and one at the maximum, then try blowing up the 3mp one to the 10mp one's dimensions and compare them side by side. The resized one looks a bit blurry? Now apply a good professional sharpening filter such as Neat Image. Voila, they're all but identical, just one has lots more garbage data in the form of grain where there was none in real life. The sensor is so tiny there's literally just not enough photons hitting it to do anything but interpolate most of the data, even in daytime outdoors.

I know you said you don't want me to say "just buy a camcorder", but honestly that's the only solution if you want an actual image quality difference. An honest camcorder can give you a million times the feature set and record decent audio too.

Maybe check out the Canon HF100... I think that's what it's called. I have the previous year's model and it's outstanding value. Record true 1080p @ 30fps, and it's so clear you can capture individual frames from it and it looks better than any cameraphone. Takes competent stills too, and I think the most recent model has 20x optical zoom. It's like... 25% larger than an empty toilet paper roll and a little more squarish.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al89nut:
So do you recommend setting to 480?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahi58:
Thank you guys.

I bought a Google-HTC nexus one today (:D). I had to buy a used cell phone because of the android phone shortage in my country, and I had to buy it today, so I wasn't able to read any of your posts; but some interesting comments have been posted:

AndroHero

You mean there is a video recording mode for desire, which records in lower resolution, but gives better framerates?

If so, desire would have been a flawless choice for me! Why isn't this mentioned anywhere?

nawoa

Very interesting ideas, thank you.

I have noticed the difference between true 720P videos and the "claimed" ones which are being recorded by cell phones, and, frankly, the difference is obvious.

But still, if you watch the video samples from desire and some competitors (from GSMArena or somewhere), you will confirm that there's a huge difference, which is not being caused by the low resolution, but by the poor framerate in desire.

Desire's video sample is disappointing...

But if it's possible to record in lower resolution and better framerate, then desire would have been a better choice than a second hand nexus one.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Affenpeter:
IPhone uses its GPU, that's why it performs so well. Guess it's a driver issue. If the desire were to utilize the GPU, the results would be far better.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
The 480p is flawless?

Come on ... It is OK-ish, but not flawless. Especially indoor, even with good lighting still mediocre.

Multimedia is one of the weakest in Android, hopefully Gingerbread will correct this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcus2388:
You could try switching to 800 ISO in settings camera mode, then switch back to camcorder mode. I noticed a considerable fps boost even in low light conditions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahi58:
Before buying nexus one, I checked out desire's specifications in its GSMArena's page, and it said:

Video:	Yes, WVGA (800x480 pixels) @ 15fps

So I thought its the only video recording mode that the phone has (I'm not experienced with modern phones). I wasn't expecting a cell phone to have different video capture modes like a digicam/camcorder.

Then, I downloaded a video sample that was being recorded in daylight, but was really disappointing, and the framerate was exactly 15.

And, in my experince, if you buy products, specially high tech products like modern phones relying on the informations that (you think) "go without saying" you're going to be serioulsly punished by your mistakes. :)

You can only rely on facts...

By the way, thanks for the experiments. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
There is some work done in the developement section to optimize HTC camera 720p framerate. A guy obtained 29fps in good lighting (not perfect) but he's still working on it. Funny part is that he blew his desire while testing it.

Check this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynB0M9NeVCE

Regarding the current state, a good sd card can help with the occasional stuttering, or if you can live with AOSP roms, you probably will get a couple fps more. Otherwise you are confined to good lighting to have something on the good side of 20fps.

some examples from my phone:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikahsan:
when you increase your ISO your picture quality gets poor.

it helps to make videos faster and smooth but with no quality.

Ive just ordered my new Micro Sd card class 10 card... let it come and i'll let you know if something good happens...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikelalala:
I'll disagree about poor quality - it just gets a little worse, even in indoor lightning, but you get an acceptable video, compared to the "very creepy slide show" in auto-ISO mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
Besides the average framerate, which is probably more due to the lens and partially to the software, isn't the stuttering problem caused by an aggressive datarate when writing to the sd ? If you compare cyanogen 720p recording to HTC, quality isn't really different, but the data-rate codec probably is, and that's why even with a class 2 you avoid stuttering in cyanogen (OD and Defrost too).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackCarv3r:
Sorry if I up this thread, I found a micro sd card A-Data class 6 with good price, this micro SD can fix the problem recording video a 720p?

Thanks to all
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycted:
At best, what it could help, would be the random stuttering. Depends on how you use it, a2sd+, number of applications, etc

I've found that going back to my class 6 transcend, which is often reported as class 4, I encounter only a few tiny stutters. Given the fact that I have a2sd+ and a ton of applications running... that's ok I guess.
