As it been reported HD2 can accept 12mp camera on-board but for some reason HTC decided to use 5mp cam.

Is it possible to find 12mp camera for HD2 in market?

And if yes is there driver installation have to be done,

or some soft installation maybe?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russpattaya:
That would be Samsung Omnia HD2 i8920 not HTC

Samsung's Kies update software which was used to distribute Froyo for Telus Fascinate devices has been added to the Verizon Fascinate's download support page today.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SCH-I500RKAVZW

Follow the link and click software.

Perhaps 2.2 has been held up by problems with the OTA infrastructure? Hopefully this means Froyo will soon be available for manual update while they get the OTA situation figured out.

Edit2: Got enough posts to add the link.
[Fascinate General] 4GivenByChrist:
Won't speculate on what update it COULD be, but I had two Verizon CsR tell me today that a maintenance ota was starting to roll out tonight at between 12 and 1am EST... No one in tech support new anything though. Maybe dj05 but learned from the forums to not believe it till I see update available on my phone....

good day.
[Fascinate General] Crashspeeder:
You could be right or it could mean nothing. My money is on jt getting us froyo working before an official release though.

Sent from my Dirrk overclocked/lagfixed SCH-i500
[Fascinate General] voghan:
I agree, we'll get s leak before an official one.
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
OTA or leak, I will wait until it is rooted and posted on xda.

[Fascinate General] Lodingi:
Does Kies get installed on the pc or phone?
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
It doesn't seem to work with the Fascinate. I just tried to sync and it said "Please turn your phone to Kies mode" which the Fascinate does not have. If anything, they're prepping for a software update to enable it to be recognized.

I've also done some digging and saw that this has popped up before with the Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] cam815:
It gets installed on your PC.

I installed it, the v1.3.550.0 driver, and connected my Fascinate to my PC but nada. It just says "Please connect your mobile phone"

:confused: *shrug* :confused:
[Fascinate General] jabberjaw:
Yes in theory it would be downloaded and installed on your computer...

Just for fun i downloaded the Kies file from samsung to try it out...

and so far it does not work...

so I am guessing if you have rooted your phone Kies will not recognize your phone...

oh well... more interested in getting 2.2 on my phone than Kies

So unless i want to unroot my phone... i will be waiting for a while

That's right... when Europe got their 2.2 update I looked for the Kies mode on my phone.... and never found it...
[Fascinate General] cam815:
Just fyi, my phone is not rooted and also not recognized. I'm thinking it's this "Kies mode" that we don't seem to have on the SCH-i500.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
The Verizon fascinate does not have a kies mode.
[Fascinate General] mattstakilla:
thanks for that, didnt see it above
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Kies is not meant for CDMA devices, and flashing anything with it will almost certain result in a Fascinating new paperweight...
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Actually, thats what I used to install the drivers for the galaxy tab for VZW. So if nothing else, its got the drivers on it.
[Fascinate General] cyress8:
Kind of wierd that the samsung showcase has a kies setting. I downloaded the kies mini program and it recognizes my phone. It however says my phone is an unregistered device.
[Fascinate General] netmommy:
The link says "SAMSUNG Kies mini,

PC Sync

(Software) (ver.1.0)".

Wouldn't that just be the software to sync your phone with PC for things like contacts, calendar, pictures etc? My Eris had HTC software that did that.

Just sayin', from the link title, I don't think it would do anymore than that.
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
Kies was providing downloadable Froyo updates for Telus customers in Canada.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
If I could post something that would detonate, I would.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Well, apparently the link is no longer thre, so it was probably another random mistake like them recently putting 2.2 on the Fascinate's page for the Android version. Maybe they're just trying to mess with people who refresh these types of pages too often...
[Fascinate General] renf:
Are you sure you're on the right page? I still see it.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
Yeah its still there ... not saying it means anything .. but given their tweets yesterday, and this today ... I'd like to hope its a work in progress for them.
[Fascinate General] johnnyplaid:
I had previously read somewhere that another carrier used a OTA before the official 2.2 update with KIES.

Also read Samsung provided assistance in backing up contacts and such before update.
[Fascinate General] calebm:
I don't have any insider information, just my experiences with several Android devices on Verizon's network. With other phones, Verizon would allow maintenance updates, but they either really pushed for or even required full blown OS upgrades to be downloaded over WiFi. I always found it interesting that the Fascinate did not allow for updates over WiFi, so when the patch notes were leaked for DJ05 and it mentioned WiFi updating being added, it gave me hope that 2.2 would be around the corner. So far though a maintenance release has not become official, and until WiFi updating is enabled, I don't see Verizon pushing out 2.2 over their network. Knowing Samsung this whole Kies thing is probably just a mistake, but I guess I can keep my fingers crossed, and hope they have temporarily given up on the maintenance release, and will try to roll out 2.2 to customers directly.

Not going to hold my breath, though.
[Fascinate General] obededom:
I don't doubt what your saying but why does our /etc have a folder named "KIES" with the xml's for Calender, Contacts, Device, Memo, Message and Phonebook?

is that for a carrier provided ota update?
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
All other Android devices were FOTA, which can be downloaded over 3G or WiFi, it was not required, but recommended for a smoother process.

All Blackberry's with 4.7 and later could do FOTA or as recommended, BB Desktop Manager.

Windows Mobile phones were always sideloaded, they had no working mechanism for FOTA updates
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I have no idea why it is there, but I haven't seen anything that shows Kies was meant for use with our phones. It can be made to work, but there is nothing out there that I've seen yet that we could use Kies for. It could be for what another user mentioned where it's being added to the next 2.1 release as a means for updating to 2.2 so that all of a users data can be backed up and then restored after the update to 2.2. Whether or not that is the case is unknown, but until there is a leak or ota release, I'm not getting my hopes up. Odds are we'll have the update weeks before it actually starts getting rolled out anyway.
[Fascinate General] johnnyplaid:
Verizon forum and AndroidCentral have 2 different people posting update is coming tomorrow. Supposedly came from Verizon employees. We'll see...
[Fascinate General] Droiddude24:
yeah it's starting to spred all over the net just waiting for all the blogs to jump on...
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
It doesn't look like what is posted to Samsung's site is the full version of Kies, at least based on the file name. Maybe it's a slimmed down version meant only for updating rather than the full functionality that the program provides for other devices/carriers.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I think Samsung is just messing with us...
[Fascinate General] kuronosan:
I'll believe it when the update hits.
[Fascinate General] jselden:
Well according to a screen shot posted we should see some update on 1/10/2011.

http://www.androidcentral.com/froyo...ampaign=Feed:+androidcentral+(Android+Central)

Again i will not get my hopes up until i see it!
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I'm going to say if it does happen its not going to be Froyo.

It says MR2 which I'm guessing means maintenance release aka DL09...
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
It may be Froyo...

Who cares... I'm a little bit tired of it all. I'm kinda banking on jt and birdman bringing it home FTW.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Yeah, this is probably true. For some reason the Android Central guy seems to think that DL09 wasn't going to be released, but I think he's confusing it with DJ05.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
DL09 didn't really fix many (any) of the issues with DJ05 though. It could be that the release is just a few days ahead of DL09 and they got more bugs fixed though.

[Fascinate General] calebm:
I could have sworn one of the Droid Eris updates required WiFi, but it's been so long I am sure I could be wrong. Still, every Android on Verizon I have seen strongly encourages the user to use WiFi to install OS updates. The Fascinate does not have this capability at all. The fact that the maintenance release had this listed as a fix/feature, still makes me think that Verizon won't release 2.2 until they have added at least the capability to update over WiFi, like every other release for Android they have done.

along with the kies download there is an updated user manual that shows "Samsung Kies" as an option for usb settings although it says its not supported in the US.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokuman56:
Hello,

Is there an app similiar to lumos for windows mobile on android. Lumos is a custom brightness setting app which uses the light sensor. Lets say it is dark or I turn the lights off. I can set a custom brightness level such as 1 percent battery backlight. I really hate the default setting for auto brightness and was just wondering if there was an app similiar to lumos that uses the light sensor. I already know there are widgets that u can press but is there a way to make it usr the sensor so it can do this automatically? thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTNiggle:
There was a bounty thread a while back on this. We just ended up setting up Tasker to do it. It works really well, and tasker is a great app to play with.

Also, CM6 has the ability to adjust auto brightness setting built in :-)

Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

I kill all apps...and let it charge...it takes hours!!!

Am I missing something...or is this the norm?

WinMo Rom charges very quick.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norwoodr2001:

I'm having a problem with my rooted Evo. It will not load my apps from my SD card, but the funny thing is, is that I can still play my downloaded music and view my downloaded pictures and sometimes when I reboot the the phone then my apps will be loaded. I connected my phone to the computer via disk drive and nothing. I don't think its the phone because I put an old SD card of mine in my Evo and it worked, took the 8GB SD card from my Evo and put it in an old phone and nothing. Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem may be? Please help!

[Touch CDMA Android Development] DtD-Software:
I have an old HTC Touch (Sprint) from a friend that has a broken LCD and I was thinking since there are all these Android ports I could turn it into a nice device for testing my game I am developing (Bluetooth P2P multiplayer and small screen testing specifically.) However, it would not really make sense to spend money on a service plan for a device that will be used so little. So, basically, will I be able to install and run Android OK with no cell service? I have always been on GSM carriers (T-Mobile and now AT&T with the Captivate) and none with Windows Mobile Pro so I don't have any experience with how these phones react to no/invalid tower registration.

Thank you very much!

Oh, and on a small side note, an Elf screen should be the same as a Vogue screen, right? http://cgi.ebay.com/03-LCD-Screen-H...819497?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5c7d4fe9 <<The LCD I will probably get.

[G Tablet General] BilliamB:
Viewsonic re-released a piece of junk? The G Tablet got pulled from Staples, Sears had a high rate of returns, and things were looking bad for this tablet although it has great specs and a slightly better screen than archos 101 but continues to be a dog. Viewsonic and TapnTouch is a crazy implementation, cyanogen, tnt, vegn are saving the viewsonic tablet but overall it is still a disappointment. The screen resolution is not all that hot and all the tweaks are buggy with no real relief in sight. We need sholes or a well established developer to take the reigns and get this working - especially with CES right around the corner. Without a dedicated developer the viewsonic will die, if we dont get one soon they all might work on bigger and better tablets. Look at the archos - no hack or mod and it is dying. I dont want this to happen to the gtab.

Anybody know if sholes, or bugless, or chevy are going to take this on?
[G Tablet General] muerteman:
Ahm, I have no idea if we have any big developers coming along, but the ones that are here are great, and I don't know what you mean about mods being unstable. At this point my g-tablet is more stable then my eris which has had months more development.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
I think that to say that Roebeet, GoJimi, rothnic, bekit, clemsyn, pershoot, rcgabreal, vsc and anyone else (sorry anyone I didn't mention) devoting their time to this are not dedicated developers is selling them short. I love Pete and am currently running his Rom on my droid with a chevy kernel but that doesn't mean they have to be involved or its gonna die. The Viewsonic G Tablet is just another rebrand of several other tablets out there.

Lets not forget that the source code was just released a little over a week ago and it wasn't even the current source. The G Tab is open. Getting root is easy. Modding is easy. Viewsonic is aware of XDA and what is going here and is half ass supporting it. Don't think for an instant that Motorola is gonna release a tab that is not locked down like the x or 2. Yes there will better tablets. There will always be something better coming.

Gingerbread was released before the source for the G Tab was and there are roms that are "buggy with no real relief in site". Give these guys a chance before you just write them off. They've come a hellava long way in the last week alone.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
This thread is really a bunch of nonsense.. You come here, say that everything is junk, make it clear that people should just build stuff for you... And if they don't, oh my! The sky will fall! Do you know how to do any of what you ask? If you don't like the tablet then why not sell it, return it, run it over with a car?

Your post came across to me as everything sucks, the developers suck, and you think you are really smart....

Like they say on the football show.... Cmon man!!!!!
[G Tablet General] Peepachu:
I don't know what you are talking about. The GTablet is an overall fine piece of electronics especially when you consider the price. It can frequently be had for less than $350 when on sale at Sears.

It's a diamond in the rough and we are lucky to have great devs that are willing to make it shine for us without asking for much of anything in return.

It's true that the screen needs improvement but everything else is phenomenal and if not for the great devs on this site the tablet would have been written off as subpar but due to their efforts it is freakin' awesome!

I am running Vegan beta 5 and it literally blows me away. It is:

A. Fast

B. Stable

C. Gorgeous to look at

D. Did I mention that it is effin' fast!!

If you want something better either pay more for something to debut at CES or roll your own!
[G Tablet General] filterking:
Dog? mine is not a dog. I have a very useful time saving device, for under $400.00 bucks.

I also have an ipad and a Galaxy Tab and have tried several other tablets over the last 6 months.

Running VegaN 5.1 my ViewSonic is by far the best tablet I have used or owned. The developers here on XDA have made this an excellent tool in a short time. I have used other ROMs on my Droid phones and the VegaN is stable as any other ROM I have used.. Mine runs extremely well with none of the issues you state in your post and is a far better overall unit than the other tablets I own. Even the narrow angle of view is not really a problem for my use. I don't need any "big" developers ROM on my tablet. The ones working on it now are doing just fine. I can't think of any other tablet that is currently available that I would rather have as my gtab with vegaN. When the new tabs start to roll out in the coming months I don't think I will have any regrets about my purchase of the gtab. If I should purchase another tablet this year, it will be because I'm a gadget junkie, not because of a lack of function or usability of my gtab.

[G Tablet General] bittrix:
Nervy for a first post.

I find your tone to be disrespectful to the people who turned an unusable off-the-shelf product and made it fast, friendly and stable in mere days. Now that the source is (finally) available the quality of the core OS, in several flavors, easily equals or exceeds the better commercial releases I've seen. New core functions are appearing near-daily and I marvel at the skill and time being dedicated, for free, on our behalf.
