We're a contractor that works frequently in a shipyard that builds aircraft carriers and submarines, so cameras simply aren't allowed anywhere on site.

This is the source of the rumors:

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/28/cam...ming-for-those-ultra-secret-enterprise-users/

It's been reposted on many blogs.

I did get in contact with Motorola and they have no information, not that Verizon would let them disclose it anyway.

If they really want to target RIM with this phone they need to produce a cameraless version. Pretty much all of the blackberries are available sans camera, and plenty of people in the defense industry use them.

I thought about just removing the camera modules, but wouldn't that leave a hole in the back of the phone? Or is there a lens protector on the battery cover?
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
Yes there is a lens cover that is placed on the battery cover / door. I have rarely seen a blackberry without a camera that wasn't custom produced for an environment like the one you mentioned. Even blackberries from 3 years ago have cameras.

Although this phone is near perfect, physical keyboard, touch screen and an Android OS, the battery life is pretty weak unless you're using the extended battery and cover that can be purchased from Verizon stores.
[Droid Pro General] patrickoneal:
From what I understand Blackberry phones are easily available without cameras. Look at Verizon's site, and select Blackberry smartphones. The 9650 is available without a camera and can be on your doorstep tomorrow. Sprint also sells a cameraless 9650, and it can be ordered right now. If Motorola doesn't step up, I'll probably just order one of those.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
I don't see one being released any time soon. I doubt Motorola is in a position to start producing phones without a camera as they attempt to capture as much market share as they can.

A smart phone without a camera is not on the minds of average consumers.
[Droid Pro General] patrickoneal:
I looked up the extended battery and cover, and it looks like there is just a hole for the camera, and no clear plastic lens cover built into the battery door. Can anyone confirm an actual clear lens cover on battery door, extended or otherwise? I'll have to stop by a store and check it out in person. If there's a clear lens cover, I could get these, disassemble them, remove the camera module and paint over the back of the lens cover.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
Yes there is a plastic back to the battery cover. Here's a photo of the front and back of the phone. As you can see there is a plastic lens cover on the back plastic snap-in.
[Droid Pro General] patrickoneal:
Do you actually own one of these or are you just speculating? From all the pics I've seen, the camera/lens cover is part of the camera, or the back of the phone itself. I believe the battery door only has a big hole in it for that to poke through.
[Droid Pro General] A_Flying_Fox:
I remember reading it on engadget.

Apparenty, their was a screenshot of inventory stating a cameraless droid pro for business users.

I haven't read anything else on it after lol

I do know BB makes cameraless phones. They're all over the tmo and sprint stores. Don't know about verizon since I'm never near a verizon store for some reason lol
[Droid Pro General] abw1987:
I recall having seen cameraless Blackberrys on the VZW website before.

I also remember hearing about some website where you can mail in your iPhone and they will remove the camera for you. I wonder if a similar service exists for other phones.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
Yes I do own one of these. The entire back comes off...
[Droid Pro General] kjjb0204:
The battery door does not have a lens that covers the camera. It's just a hole. Same on the extended door from vzw. No lens, just a hole.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Is it possible to get the standard android answer screen for answering a call as personally i really dislike the HTC one, all i know is its in the HTCDialer.apk

If i delete this apk then i get the standard answer screen which is ace but the phone button on the homescreen doesn't work anymore :( which i would quite like to keep...

Any suggestions much appreciated :) as im in over my depth here and not really sure what else to try...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
You would need to use an alternative launcher. The phone button on the HTC Dock will be linked to the .apk you are deleting.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
:( buggar was hoping the file could be tweaked :(

Quite like sense was hoping to keep that...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:

I'm running bcnice's rooted GB rom and was curious if using the Native WiFi Teather in GB's settings will cause an extra charge on my bill. I'm thinking no but I do want to be sure just in case I would incur a charge i dont really want/can't afford

[General Questions and Answers] DT3CH:
Sorry for this thread, Ive managed to get it working now :)
[General Questions and Answers] DT3CH:
Ok actually Im still having a problem with this, so heres the story

Figured I'd try here for some help here, I have a Bell SGS Vibrant, got tired of waiting for Froyo so I tried a stable build (think its stable :)) anyways everything is great overall except now I cant use my external SD card, it says that its write protected, I know that sometimes cards can do that, but I had an idea and was wondering if anyone here could tell me if I was on the right path

I noticed I had a LOST.DIR and .android_secure folders now on my external SD card, from what Ive read its for Mac I believe.... anyways, I noticed the extensions and was wondering if that was the problem, for example looking at my internal SD card its in /mnt/internal_sd/sd directory, so now looking at my external SD its /mnt/internal_sd/external_sd, is that how it should be layed out? I was wondering if I was having problems due to the external SD card being in the internal SD card directory

Model number GT-I9000

Version 2.2

Baseband version I9000XXJP2

Kernel version 2.6.32.9 root@sep-52 #1

Build number GT-I9000-eng 2.2 MASTER 332 test-keys.332

Just noticed something new when I try to connect the phone in mass storage mode it still says write protected, but when I have it in Kies mode, Windows has it show up as a phone and I can add or delete files that way :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] GH057257:
From what I know the Lost.dir folder is for files that get corrupted during transfer. At least on the broken flash I have all incomplete transfers go there.

Also its normal that when viewing the contents of your phone through a file explorer on your device that the external SD is in the /sdcard/external_sd/ folder

Now to your problem...have you tried formatting your card?
[General Questions and Answers] DT3CH:
Ok so I was on the wrong track then, thanks for the info I appreciate it

Ya I only brought up the LOST.DIR cuz I hadnt seen it before in the file system

I have tried formatting it but Win7 is a POS when it comes to formatting it always fails (plus dunno if a FAT format will work properly with Android?), perhaps Ill try it on my Ubuntu laptop and see if I can do it that way, I dont think its a card issue as I have tried another card with the same result, then again its not like 2 cards cant be corrupted

Ill post back here after trying that
[General Questions and Answers] DT3CH:
Tried formatting it didnt solve the problem, also tried another card that I know isnt corrupted since it works on my wifes BlackBerry, its the same thing, so this is an OS issue

Done lots of Googling but have come up empty

Anyone have any ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrxyz:
I just got a Desire HD with those software specs:

Firmware Version 1.72.405.3, Android 2.2.1 kernel 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaff (htc-kernel and18-2 #1).

I would like to remove all Ads by editing the hosts file (or using AdFree-App). However, I need root access for that and I didn't manage to get it using Visionary+.

I searched the forums and read something about Visionary not (yet) working for that kind of system, so I wonder if there is another way to do it.

I do not want to change my ROM! I just want temproot and rw access to change the hosts file and then I will not need root anymore.

Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi,

At present HTC fixed the exploit that Visionary+ used to root the DHD. There is no way back unless your DHD had Radio S-OFF prior to the update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrxyz:
hm, no i dont think it had that...well seems that i have to wait for another version of visionary (or any other tool...) =(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CYNiCAL2KX:
Any chance

Wondering if anybody knows if it will eventually be possible to root this version anytime soon?? If not how do I downgrade?? Can anyone link me somewhere I can find out :) Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
I am not 100% sure but I think to downgrade you needed to have Radio S-OFF applied prior to the update.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
There are several key differences between the two devices, which makes me lean towards the Desire Z instead of the G2. One such difference is that the Desire have an FM radio tuner enabled while the g2 does not. Secondly, I read somewhere that the camera for the Desire Z features face recognition while the G2 does not.

The keyboard is also different. The G2 has 3 custom keys while the Desire Z has 2. Is that true? If so, then what is the third button on the Desire Z?

The screen type is also different on both device. Desire Z: Super LCD, G2: TFT LCD

Which screen type is better?

Does the Desire Z have a permanant root? I know the G2 does.

Flashing the G2 with a Desire Z sense rom might give it the fm radio, but does it also enable face recognition for the camera? And what would happen to the third custom key on the G2 where the Desire Z only has two to begin with?

Lastly, does the Desire Z work in the US, preferably T-Mobile?

btw, are there any difference, physical appearence wise?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catachresistant:
Yes, there are many differences in software, but you can install a custom rom to erase the software differences.

Both devices have S-LCD screens as far as I know.

Both devices have permanant root, the same way, although the latest Desire Z firmware has yet to be rooted.

Flashing the G2 with the DesireZ rom will give you facial recognition, yes. As for the custom key, I don't know, I don't use em...

The only real difference between the two devices is the antenna - and here, if you're in the US, you might be better off with the G2, else risk getting stuck with EDGE speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
Thanks for replying. I think it be easier for me to get the G2 in the US anyways, haha. Still want to know what happens to the custom key if I flash the G2 though.

BTW, the mytouch 4g has a copy and paste feature similar to that of an iphone. does the Desire Z also have that feature? Is it a Sense UI thing or is just a myTouch thing?

Edit 2: If I flash the G2 with the latest Desire Z firmware would that unroot my G2? Or can I not flash it with lastest Desire Z firmware, or any Desire Z firmware for that matter, but instead a custom firmware?

Another question. The Desire Z offers additional features such as the when phone is ringing you can lift or flip it over to lower the volume or put it on silent, respectively. Does the G2 offer that? Or is it a HTC Sense thing? If it is a HTC sense thing, will the G2 have the feature if i flash it with Desire Z firmware?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
If you get the g2 and download cm6 custom rom then you will get an fm radio tuner and all you need to make that work is a set of headphones.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
Yeah, but does that enable the face recognition for the camera and other features such as the ones I mention above?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
Not that I know of. It might work if there is a desire z rom out there. I swear I've seen one out there that you can load on the g2, but it could have been my imagination.

Virtuous? :p

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837042
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
The Virtuous ROM is basically from the Desire Z, just made to work on the G2 as a custom ROM. Everything works - WiFi Tether, BT, FM Radio, face recognition in the camera, the whole shebang. I've had it on my G2 since I got the phone and everything works.

As to the shortcut keys, those are planned to be fixed in a future update of Virtuous - it's a simple keymapping situation, nothing too crazy. Currently, I believe they lose their memory of whatever you mapped them to if you reboot. I don't really use them much, so it's not a big issue. All the other buttons on the keyboard works as if it was the Desire Z's keyboard.

The latest Virtuous is re-based off the latest Desire Z ROM (I believe, some Egyptian one) and works fine. The devs are super responsive and do an awesome job.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacaronyMax:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wayde187:
I just used my camera for the first time after loading CM6.1.1 and noticed a lot of upgrades to it. It might actually have face recog. Not sure though. Zoom gets bumped up from the stock 2x to 5x.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
Does the Desire Z also have stock zoom of 2x?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacaronyMax:
There are no numbers for zoom in the htc camera (The one the Z has) just a slider :D I think it's similar if not more than 2x zoom :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
So what are the advantages of Virtuous over the CM6, or vice versa? Does CM6 offer the features of Virtuous such as flipping the phone to make it silent?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Virtuous is straight-up HTC Sense. CM6 is straight-up stock Android, with a few tweaks here and there.

Honestly, dude, you can compare them on paper all day long, but until you try them, you won't know. It takes all of 15 minutes, 20 TOPS to flash a new ROM. Flash one, give it a week, then do a nandroid and flash the other one. If you hate the second, restore the nandroid and go about your day. If you love the second, keep it, and delete the nandroid. Done and done.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
Will do. I'll test Virtuous first then CM6. Unless CM6 offers the Sense features I will most likely stay with Virtuous. Thank you.

EDIT:

"Connectivity:

Desire Z is offering 3G network with HSDPA at 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, and microUSB v2.0. And, T-Mobile G2 has 3G network with HSDPA at 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA at 2 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and microUSB v2.0. It is obvious that both phones are shared for connectivity features, but Desire Z has a faster HSUPA network with 5.76 Mbps, while G2 only offers HSUPA at 2 Mbps."

Is this a hardware thing or software thing?
[General Questions and Answers] newtporter:
I figured it out!

I'm having trouble getting my computer to recognize my phone as an ADB device. I have an HTC EVO, running cyanogen 6.1. I've downloaded the android SDK, as well as several of the SDK components (Google-usb-driver, platform-tools, and several APIs).

When I plug in my phone, my computer would not recognize it as an ADB device, so i removed the drivers from my computer and tried again. I attempted to manually install the drivers from the file (C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) with no luck. I tried going into the amd64 file (I'm running windows 7, 64bit), but my computer would not recognize the drivers.

I'm new to all of this (this is my first post)- any and all help would be greatly appreciated :D

[G Tablet General] PolyPiano:
Are you getting the Update to start at all? Stopping in the middle and failing to complete the download? If so, make sure that your display's backlight is set to Never Go Off, as this tends to stop the download and disrupt any progress..... That's what I had to do.

i got my tablet for christmas.. i liked it ok.. the factory tnt was tolerable. then a few days later it went into a boot loop, had to shoot it in the head or take it back.

so i installed clockwork to get root, then installed vegan and i couldnt be happier!

the stock tnt is bad.. especially if your used to android. its some ugly variation, ugly menus, just hard on the eyes i think..

but vegan looks like id expect an android device to look, and its screamin fast.. especially with launcher pro!

dont even worry about updating tnt.. man up and put vegan on it and youll be blown away! it changed everything for me, i didnt really like the tab before.

for fun i flashed back to tnt and it lasted about 5 min.. i couldnt get it off fast enough!

I noticed the ROM you have your moment.. so shot to the thread and saw a JIT version and nonJIT version.. which would you recommend?

also which kernel should i install on the moment? i saw you have ixanes so maybe i will roll with that...

I know this is a EVO forum and trust she wishes she would have just waited and got the EVO.. which i did and am so happy.. But anything to keep her from yelling at me about how much she hates her phone and that i should have never touched her phone and blah blah blah...
