Hi,

The day when I got my HD2, the camera hasnt been that good.

Sometimes it takex excellent pictures, but many a times it doesnt.

I upgraded to the stock ROM 2.XX and now running the latest Elegancia ROM.

Sometimes the camera just tries to focus and then just takes what is possible.

But yesterday i compared mine with another HD2 (also with the stock ROM) and the other phone takes amazing pictures.

Could it be a Hardware problem?

One more thing that I have noticed.

usually i do not like to set the Image preview on. But many at times, I hear the click and as I decide that the image is taken, the picture appears to be stuck and later refreshes. Turning the Image Preview On resolves this problem.

Its like as if the camera has become faster and more responsive.

Any clues for the image quality? or the Auto Focus ?

I havent tried the registry tweaks etc,

I tried setting ISO to 100 ,

Flicker to Auto,

Image quality to Normal.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
Elgancia rom has camera issues I had a problem where they came out really blurry or the flash and the camera would make everything white. If I was you I would flash it back to t-mobile stock rom and check if it makes a difference if not maybe its your phone.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
You more than likely have original release HD2 hardware. What color is your reset button? If it's red then you do indeed have first revision hardware, and the camera not working properly is a known hardware fault, and most of the time T-Mobile will replace your device free of charge because it's a known problem.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
You think thats what it is ? I got mine the first day it launch and works fine and then flash it to elegancia rom and came out crappy. I will look for some samples photos of stock and the custom. The reception issue I still have it as well my battery last around 8 hr annoying.
[HD2 General] softmessager:
Reply and analysis.

Thank you everyone

yes its red

Aahh :( now there is a catch. I am in india, my brother bought this for me from ebay USA. So i guess i will have to live with it. Thank you for this clarification.

Others, please check your phone camera quality. as the other HD2 I have checked has good quality. Otherwise its an amazing phone. It has been the best buy so far.

I dont know that, But I dont think either. My camera issue has been from day one. Elegantia ROM has made my phone faster and more elegant I would say.

But I assure you, I would check back the Stock ROM later and let you know :)

Meanshile, i would also ask steve about the same.

Or.

Maybe if someone else had this issue and got it fixed ?

Wonder if there is any fix that i can try.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-HD2-T85...273194?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d9bac2a you can replace the camera if you wanna get down and dirty.
[Venue Pro General] abw1987:
Perhaps this is a silly question, as I would probably already know the answer if there was any info...

Will there ever be a CDMA version of this device? This would be the perfect phone, if I could use it on Verizon.

I'm assuming no, since all of Dell's phones (Streak, Aero) so far seem to be GSM-only.

Doubt it.;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Cyanogen once mentioned that flashing over and over can cause some bad blocks in the NAND, and I think he or someone said that can cause boot to be slower.

The actual ROM booting screen (CM or other) doesn't seem any slower, but the initial HTC white splash screen seems to be taking longer and longer as the weeks go on.

Anyone else noticing this? I do occasionally notice what kernel I am running can have an effect, so it seems like it isn't JUST a hardware problem, but it is certainly taking longer across the board.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campchi:
I haven't notice anything like that. I've flash numerous times, I guess I must be lucky.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cypher79:
So I'm really fed up with my xperia mini right now, had no problems at all with internet and gps before the update, since updating i cant get either of them working......also my SatNav program has disappeared from my menu since even though when i plug the phone in to my laptop i can see the SatNav software in there.....

anyone got any solutions?

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robsaw:
Is your phone branded or unbranded?

Is your GPS and SatNav problems with app's you installed or built-in app's with the update?

Are your internet settings downloadable from your service provider or do you need to manually set them up?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cypher79:
Phone is unbranded. The GPS was already on the phone, the Satnav i installed. You manually set up the internet. I have put all the correct codes in but it just wont connect anymore. Didnt have any problems before the update.

I've done some reading and it seems im not the only one who cant get internet and gps since the update.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
Try the official RomfFor your region/carrier - it sometimes helps.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Hi All,

This may have been discussed before so sorry if it was.

Why doesn't the X10 support Arabic? How hard is it to do so? All other SE phones do. There are 400 MILLION Arabic speaking people in the world and another 1.1 BILLION who can read/write Arabic because of their religion/culture.

So why is it taking so long? I hope someone has an answer!

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJ_QaT:
Basically because Google does not support it, the problem is not from Sony Ericsson, as all the android devices currently don't support Arabic as well.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrs2610:
I guess Android doesn't understand Arabic ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
hehehe. Maybe we can teach it? :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown13x:
wait just a little bit longer, if my info is correct, the next big update in January should support Arabic and many other language natively without rooting required :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
I hope so! I will be a very satisfied Sony Ericsson customer if they do! :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
As mentioned before, it's not SE's fault. It doesn't support thai either.

Besides, there aren't 1.4 billion people who know arabic. Most countries that utilize the language has a high rate of illiteracy, speaking does not mean they can read/write it. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be supported, but nowhere near 1.4 billion people can read/write it. =P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Well, there are still at least 400 million people whose first language is Arabic! So I think it should be supported ASAP! :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roanmy:
THAT I can agree with ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavriel18:
Because one of googles founders is Jewish?

Im just kidding and its obviously not the case because hebrew is not supported either.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
hehehe :D Hebrew and Arabic are closely related to each other as they are both semitic languages.They are both written/read from right-to-left. So supporting one, makes it easier to support the other. Also, a lot of third party applications support both languages because of the fact that they are related. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavriel18:
Thats the joke lol. But im surprised no one made an app like israel pack. Ill try to mod it for arabic but i cant test it since i only know hebrew. Gimme a couple weeks to work on it...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Cool. Hit me up when you do :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osabor:
Goooooooood news. Now it does .. X10 update has Arabic support now

I updated my X10 yesterday and got the Arabic.

Nice fonts and keyboard.

So if you are looking for Arabic support, just update using PC companion.

Good lock.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
To start off I got my EVO on the day it came out and have done all the OTAs since then. Stats below

Hardware version - 0002

Android version 2.2

software version 3.29.651.5

PRI 1.77_003

PRL 60671

I have been reading a bunch on how to root my EVO cause I would like to start flashing custom roms. This is my first android phone and I have never rooted or flashed anything before.

1. What is the correct and best method for me to root my phone?

2. Once my phone is rooted does that mean I can start flashing custom roms?

3. What apps can I use or benifit my once I am rooted?

I know that answers to all my questions are probably out in the forums but I have read so many different posts and dont know which ones would apply to me.

Any help would be great! Sorry for the noobish questions, I know they have been asked a million times, but if someone could just point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated. I am excited to get this rolling and look forward to all the great roms that the devs have put together. Please help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:

Terrel_B is clearly a better person than I am. Not only are you already aware the answers are in the forums but when no one jumps to respond you bump the thread with a douche-bag remark. I wouldn't of bothered.

Then when I seen how many people viewed my thread and no responses I got frusterated. Again I apologize! Half the time I dont know what I would do without this site! I guess I just figured that more people would want to help and when the responses werent coming in...

Sorry for the "douche bag" remarks!

Hold down what key? All you do is holds down on a text box and select input method.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Hey guys I'd just like to make a request for a theme made up of contrast colors like mirrors edge or the movie hard candy. I'm a huge fan of the colors this phone can produce with the vibrancy of screen, and that being said I can't stand all of these themes that dull the colors down, remove them, or just use straight black.

It doesn't make sense to me, I bought this phone for the Super AMOLED Display why waste it with just a rich black color?

Anyone up to the task? I'd be willing to donate, test, etc.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: So it appears I'm a moron and I actually didn't mean to ask for "CONTRAST" colors because that's pretty vague and well quite honestly I was looking for a different word, I think it may have been Primary. However I guess the colors I would be looking for in this theme would be maybe something along these lines.

White status bar with red icons like signal wifi etc. as well as blue, green, and yellow accents here and there, white and red being the main colors though.

Examples of the color scheme can be found here: http://www.videogamegirlsdb.com/Images/Mirror's_Edge/Faith/Faith_ME_02.jpg here: http://www.pcdoctors.co.za/e107_fil...17_FT0_games_mirrors_edge_parkour_013696_.jpg and here: http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/900/900446/mirrors-edge-20080820034731113_640w.jpg
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
Are there any themes that another phone that is close to what you have in mind, or some graphics the show what you have in mind? I posted a new idea here. I might be up to the challenge :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Updated the main post with more/correct information ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Throwing this back up to see if there's any takers. A theme like this would be greatly appreciated, and I'd be more then happy to donate.

I know Avalon was just ported but it's lacking the colors I desire.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spodg:
I absolutely agree with author. Stop making black and white themes that lack of color. Human eye can see colors. Fascinate's screen can show those colors. I want to just glance on battery icon and based on just color of it figure how much charge left. I don't want to recognize the shade of gray. Colors are very important in human/computer interaction.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Ha ha thanks for the support ;) hopefully someone will answer my prayers soon ;)

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
ya know its not exactly easy to port a theme...let alone freaking make one....stop telling people who work on these things what they should/shouldnt do

learn to do stuff on your own and put together the exact thing you want
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Before I say anything, I respect you and your work nitsuj17, you put a lot of hard work into porting and making themes for our phones and have increased the enjoyment I have with my device...

That being said there's no need to be a jerk off, no one here is telling any themer what they have to do. I made a request and said my opinion, an opinion in which we are ALL entitled too. If you don't want to port a them or create one don't even bother going into a request thread just to spite those interested and be a smug asshole. I wouldn't ask for someone else to do the work if I knew how, I can't use photoshop for crap and by the time I learn to be decent enough with it to make my own theme I'll have moved way beyond the fascinate. I also offered to make a donation and sure $20 dollars probably isn't much but it's probably more in one single donation then you'll get for that purple theme you made.

This is a community where people go to, to learn, ask for help, socialize, and share their work. I didn't ask you specifically for anything so why you feel the need to come into this thread and tell us to do the work ourselves is beyond me. I'm sorry if anything I said made you dislike me, but that kind of behavior over a mere request and someones opinion is unnecessary.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jspidah:
Uh, did you even read smodg's post? He was being a ****. Nitsuj didn't explicitly respond to you, and I think you owe him an apology.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Smodg's post was his own personal opinion which he is also entitled too. He didn't demand anything from anyone therefore not offending anyone.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
I don't mean to offend anyone, I feel that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I respect Nitsuj17 and he does phenomenal work I won't argue against that. I just feel it was uncalled for to respond so poorly in a thread that wasn't directly calling him out or anyone for that matter. You also do awesome work jspidah and I'm sorry if you feel I'm out of line...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
Also nice port of the JAMT theme, can't wait for white to be up and running, I'm using Avalon but the DJ05 version still has work to be done.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jspidah:
Telling us what to do.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
In theory, yes. However not really... either way both of them were out of line. As well was I for jumping to assumptions and not thinking my response through more clearly. As well as as not knowing he specifically meant that one particular line of text from smodgs post...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] spodg:
Please treat my line just like a friendly advice, not a direct command. And if you perceived it wrong, or I sounded rude and you thought I was telling you guys what to do with your life and how to do things, well... my sincere apologies. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. :D

Oh yea... and my nickname is not smodg.

I've been looking for an AT&T Nexus One for weeks now. Is there anywhere to buy them brand new in box other than ebay?
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
craigslist
[Nexus One General] th0r615:
Ebay and Craigslist... good luck
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
Google discontinued the at&t model nexus one, the only place to officially purchase it was through the Google web store which was taken down at the same time. Because of this the at&t nexus one is going to be extremely difficult to get, let alone brand new as there are no official channels for it.
[Nexus One General] jhealy:
So there are no places that any of you know of that will have any left in stock?
[Nexus One General] mlinz:
I think it was mentioned above, but no other place stocked them other than Google itself. Since you can't get it from them anymore the only place you might get one that is unopened is if someone bought a bunch of them and is selling them on Ebay or Craigslist. However, you can get a used one in pretty much pristine condition for around 325 dollars now days.

Do what I did, But a Tmobile Nexus, Call HTC, say youre switching to ATT and would like to switch phones. You send them the TMO nexus, and they will send you an ATT nexus. And my tmo nexus was all mesed up to, lots of nicks and blemishes, and i got a PRISTINE condition ATT nexus.

You can visit this page http://developer.android.com/index.html, register as a dev developer and pay the fee, then you can buy a new one from google directly...I think it cost about US$530

tmobile version only iirc.

Got mine on ebay for a steal, it wasnt new but i received it and its in mint condition. Even came with the official desktop dock, all for $375!
[Nexus One General] j.bruha:
Phone itself is $530 and there's a $30 registration fee if you're not already a developer. That, and you're almost sure to get a Nexus with an SLCD screen instead of AMOLED, unfortunately.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
You are correct, plus its only the tmo version anyway.
[Nexus One General] Rhatfield25:
Call them up, tell them it wont read sim cards or something, and that you would like to do a switch. they send you a new nexus, and you send them youre old one. Bam, you just got a brand new nexus for $220
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
I have a used but in excellent condition Nexus One unlocked for Tmobile and ATT. I might be interested in selling.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
You mean one for T-Mobile, and a different one for AT&T?
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
I have one phone that is unlocked for both carriers.
[Nexus One General] EpiphanyMachine:
The have different hardware. The 3G connection will only work on one or the other. If you want an EDGE connection all versions of the nexus one will work.

Has anyone thought about the Vodafone UK version. I think it is the same band as ATT. I use an ATT nexus (bought from Google) in the UK with 3G.
[Nexus One General] cybik:
I'm not sure about Vodafone UK, but i'd like to know. Maybe also check Vodafone Italia, as it -seems- they share bands with AT&T.
