Uninstall/Remove Camera from any HTC device - Touch GSM General

Hi,
Corporate security has become a real pain area for me.....and as a result im not allowed to carry my phone (Elfin) to work....or will be stopped soon...I cant sneak it in forever So anyone here know how to completely remove the camera? Like entirely from its casing leaving no traces behind. I've already seen the sticky on this forum on disassembling the touch...though it doesnt work for me. Would the guys at the HTC service center be of any help? I'm a die hard WM user...and dont wanna have to give it up. I've seen the Blackberry/Nokia E series and other handheld devices without cameras...and they all suck Id really appreciate any inputs on this from anyone. Alternatively, are there any good WM devices without cameras?
Thanks in advace.

Defective Unit? Pls advise

Hi Guys!
My TyTn is acting strangely. In use, the display is first pixelating, getting lines (noise pixels as well), and then fading to completely white. When so it doesn't responde to anything anymore. So a soft reset is needed.....
Also the ringtone when called, is 'out of tune', like a old record player when you push your finger on the record.. LOL
Before I send it back to have it fixed by HTC, do you guys have any idea whats wrong, and maybe even a tip to help me fix this myself?
Tried numerous soft resets, hard reset, and a reinstall of the original WM6 rom (in Dutch).
Did not install any new programs lately, or did change anything on the unit...
Don't want to miss my TyTn... so hate to send it away... as many of you I am hooked badly to my beloved digital companion

It acts like hardware incompatible.
How about flashing with WM6 English version.
I don't think it is software problem.
I agree, not likely to be software. It did not get dropped or take a knock did it?
The two issues of pixelation/white screen may, if you are lucky, just be a connector thats loose. The sound I think is unrelated but again sounds like a poor connection at the white rear speaker connector block - not uncommon.
Both of the above could be caused by a sharp knock. There have also been cases of poor battery connections causing problems.
If you have a warranty use it. If not you can follow the dismantling guides or service manual to dismantle - check connections and re-assemble. Be prepared though, that sending it in might still be required!!

Will send it in
Hi Guys, Thanks fr your replies.
I will take the unit back to the store today.
I am not aware that I bumped it, or neither it has dropped. May be a connection that was allready quite loose to begin with. Lets see what HTC and the store will tell me
Strange thing is, that without my sim in it, and not using it, it stays normal... Have put it aside, and used a very old phone instead, and it is still normal..

Mmmm... that's important information and changes things a bit. Could be a sim card contact or something about the sim. Anyway it tends to suggest that other thoughts about hardware issues may not be correct!
Hope you find the answer at the store.

To any Shift/SnapVue Experts...selling Shift with no audio...$900

I am currently trying to sell my HTC Shift...
It is a 3g/SimCard model and not an HSPDA....
It is basically mint condition and has never been taken off my computer desk...
It will come with all boxes and manuals and all included accessories...
The only problem with this Shift is I don't know how to fix the audio, I have been trying for months now to no avail...I know for a fact this is a technical problem; but I simply lack the skill to resolve it.
Snapvue remains completely black, even after trying to flash various versions of the firmware...I am likely to be doing it wrong...
I can test anything you would like before you buy it to make sure it is what you want.
I am selling for the low price of $900...I will even include a shoulder bag that fits the shift perfectly...
Thanks,
Please post any questions...
My email is [email protected]
my ebay account is: joejohn799
If you would feel more secure I could post a private auction in ebay for you, otherwise you could send me payment via paypal...I have great feedback and there would be no need to worry...
Problem solving for audio
In my experience, i do have problem with audio, and i solve it NOT by reformat vista nor winmo side
Its because the 3.5mm audio jack wont take it off the connection from earphone to speakerphone,
My solutions, i put the earphone back to audio jack, but this time i push a litlle bit hard to the left and right while i rotate the cable back and forth, and i unplug it, try this method for couple of time untill it works
For winmo side, have you do something with the rom, such as hardspl or cook without hardspl, but when i see your thread that you are not very experience, i asume that you do nothing with the rom, if you do, then the solutions is simple, just try to hard reset the snapvue side
Hope this help
Well,
I would really interested in being able to fix it, but I just can't...
and really, the truth is, that I am normally a pretty technical person and stuff like this usuallly doesnt stump me...but theres really nothing I can do...
when i try to hard reset I get no USB option just a com2 option...
when i try to flash firmware i either get (error:260) or I get a large box filled with a bunch of code or text...
If anyone thinks they can help, for reference here is two threads I posted before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410896
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424735
They include details of my problems and what I have done....
Lowering price to 750, buyer pays for shipping anywhere in the world....
So cheap, please--and I know it can be fixed, and I know it is under warranty--its just the simple issue that I can't lose it for that long as it is my only computer...

Any help...please
carlos
Noboby´s home?
it doesnt protect any vital chip, i would have seen that as i have totally dismantled mine before.
i think it was something to do with voulme slider but its been over a year since i took my prophet apart lol so i cant remember.
if it works and nothings different then is it a problem? its always a bummer when you have a "screw or bolt" left over isnt it
Hi.thank you for your response.In reality,is all working so i dont go on dismantling the phone to put the pieçe in plaçe sinçe this isnt as easy to deasemble as a nokia.Deasembling this phone is a tricky job and i may end with a broken phone.
wish you well to you all.

Touchscreen related problems

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ7csMbeQDA
The device screen doesn't react on pressings after running for some time, mostly running some more demanding application, in my case as seen in the video clip, a 3d game. The center-left part of the screen just won't answer to my touches, to get it more clear I've made a clip.
P.S.
The phone was bought in Romania (Eastern Europe), had been in service one time, seems all they've done is to resoft the phone.
Are you having a leather case or something that wraps over the side and front of the Leo? I can't see clearly but it seems so.

Have you tried hard resetting the phone? backup all your data and hard reset.

I did that (even in my video if you watch it); Updated to the latest firmware available on htc, same stuff.
P.S.
this issue appears mostly when I press the reject (power) button, so it's smth. with lower right corner...
I don't see why there's a discussion or even a post about this. The phone is obviously faulty. You say yourself that it's not a software issue so you need to take it up with your supplier. If they've already had it once and sent it back in the same state then you need to tell them that, not us!
They got to replace it. It's unusable in that state and no amount of software or tweaking will make the screen suddenly work for you.
i think the easies way is to send it for repair,
if i were you, i would do my best to identify the problem cause and be able to reproduce it whenever i want so i can go there to HTC and prove it.

Thank you for your reply, too bad the servicemen don't share this opinion, and the thing is more complicated due to the fact that I live in other country and have to ask some ppl to get the device delivered, and due to the random nature of the problem, it is really complicated;
the meaning of this thread was to identify, maybe someone has met such things, and knows what exactly causes the fault, so I don't receive the device the second time with "resoft" written on the service ticket...

that's exactly what I'm trying here - to identify the problem and get some proof, I can't go there by myself, we don't have an official HTC service - the nearest one is in Romania

[Q] Recover Defy (access without touch)

Hi, guys
Please be aware that I am scandinavian and therefore english is not my natural language.
I´m also a noob compared to most guys here, but at least I am curious and want to learn more about android in general.
My case: A Motorola Defy
I had it for some years, repaired the Gorilla Glass and speaker.
But now the entire front is smashed !
When I start the device its just som bright colors in the splittered display
And I want to access some of it contents if possible.
What can i Do ?
- Some kind of recovery operation?
I hope its possible without the touch and /or insert of a PIN code.
(now the simcard is in my new phone anyway) I consider the phone as lost and therefore
it could be a great challenge to learn hacking or a way to carve the data out of it ... amateur forensic.
I would like to get the "tasks" thats was on my phone.
storage on internal card, etc. What else do you recommend ?
I have maybe forgot lots of things, what is on my phone (obvious I haven't missed it yet)
And whats the general steps to take in this case? before migrating and throw it to the trashes i.e ....
What about my old motoblur account, should i remove it?
Greetings
