Is the camera of the XDAII fixed to its current capability? Can it be replaced or upgraded - through hardware or software upgrade so that it becomes a 2Megapixel camera?
Thanks in advance.
it could be upgraded if you could find a cam with the same connectors
and that dident take up more space then the old one
and it would require working drivers and a new cam application to work
basicly it would most likely be troublesome if possible and it could cost more then buying a new pda with a better cam
Hi, does anybody know NOKMOTE?
if not watch this link
http://dailymotion.alice.it/video/x3f4o8_nokmote_tech
to the devs.
i want to know if its possible to use it with the hermes.
the nokmote software uses the acceleration sensor of the camera to switch to landscape mode
no, it won't work because the Hermes doesn't have a built in Gyrometer, the Nokia N95 does. By the way, I think that Nokmote stands for Nokia-Remote. So my guess is that it's fully adapted to the N95.
If you want a similar program, you'll first have to modify your Hermes or buy one of those adapters (though I don't know if it will work on the port of the Hermes). After you've managed to mod you hermes, you'll need to write a program based on the gyrometer.

I have a 8525 and just replaced the casing for a Dopod unit.
I have the little hole now that is empty for the VGA camera located on the front.
Anyone know where I can buy or locate this camera so I can put it in?
sorry u can t buy a cam for ur 8525...
it is bult in or not ...
tytn is a version of the hermes with the cam
8525 is a version with out cam
sorry but there's no other way to say it ariaguest you are absolutely wrong... ;-)
you can actually buy the camera if you can manage to find it again on ebay.
after you buy it just open your case fit it in the correct place and now you should have a front working camera.
the only limitation if my memory serves me correct is that it might not work for video calls, but you can still use it for other purposes through a 3rd party app, at the moment i also forget what that is (busy flashing and trying out other roms on my little hermes)

Try CNNShop.
it has many parts of Hermes including LCD&Cam
i was found it on ebay about a month ago.. But i`ve tried to find it again for you but no results
sorry i was mistaken... i was absolutly wrong ha ha ha ...
I thought it was so strange that when I scanned for bluetooth devices I picked up my (pc) internet modem (which is wireless enabled) so I thought bluetooth and wifi must share a lot of the same characteristics.
I was browsing for the latest Android developments and stumbled on the following
Please take a look at this page http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679
And this one http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbugencontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12019&contentId=4635&DCMP=WTBU&HQS=Other+OT+bluetooth
This seems to mean that FM Radio and WiFi is a standard feature of OMAP 850 chips and (for the touch owners look at this page http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbugencontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12028&contentId=4636&DCMP=WTBU&HQS=Other+OT+agps)
Seems If you have Bluetooth you also have wifi and possibly fm radio built in only lacking the drivers (no special wifi antenna is used in the omap 850 solution accoriding to TI)
It would seem that all we need is the right drivers and regsettings (so no new rom or radio rom should be needed)
Who can make it a working cab?
Woooooooooo!
Good news.
great job
if some solution, make me to buy one.
by the soft solution, strange story !no idea for none cost effective option. why do HTC designers make a 2008 PDA with no WiFi Option!
wow
wow...it might be dream come ture if it happens....please some body develop a driver for pharos Fm radio n wifi.....please buit up some regsettings......
This is a good information. Hope that we could make it work on our Pharos.
Good News... I hope who will make it soon because I don't understand about ARM work.
That is an awesome find man. I hope this info is used to get a wifi working ROM.
I thought it was some kind of cost saving to not include wifi, i.e. some missing hardware. If it's just a driver, that is the so friggen stupid! Why have such a great phone and then neuter it by taking away wifi? And the price is still just as high as the Artemis when it came out. The lack of wifi is the only thing that would keep me from buying one. Otherwise, it would be a great upgrade phone for me since I don't need nor have 3G with my service and and it has the cool flush screen that I wish my Artemis had.
someone knows if the touch dual then also could have the wifi option turned on by drivers? the touch normal has wifi, so i guess it should be possible.
anyone tried the drivers from the htc wizard? it also has a ti omap 850, so driver from such a rom could be coocked into the rom of other devices.
@VOODOOS!L
The touch dual uses the Qualcomm 7200 chipset. That chipset uses the arm926tesj as a co processor but i dont think its the full OMAP 850 chiset.
but there is a project for enabling niki wifi (started out as a project ot enabkle both wifi and gps)
@shawndh
Phone manufacterors do it all the time. Look at the Kaiser story, yes they have some great graphical chip (would be too expensive to make a different chiset with another graphical chip) so they just didnt include the drivers for it.
With some other phones like the touch HTC disabled the wifi in the radio rom... maybe some techies here could try to put an artemis radio rom in the pharos... but for none techies this would probably be an instant brick (thats why i didnt try it) tom_codon maybe you could say something about this....input would be apreciated.
Come to think of it, I remember that they had a crippled GPS radio or something in the TyTn I. The only reason I could think of for disabling wifi is so people who need wifi would buy the the Artemis. To be honest, if I had a choice btwn the two, I would get the Pharos over the Artemis if they both had wifi. Even so, it should still have wifi.
This ia a good news.
I'm waiting.
you know what... im giving up.
ive tried pm ing some guys working on the wifi on nike project, asking tomcodon. no response as yet and prolly not going to get one.
And tried to get qtopia and winlizard(gizard) working.
but in the linux world up is down, left is right, and smart is stupid. those people are (in dutch: contactgestoord) communicationally challenged. you cant find anything on their sites. there is no(or very little) documentation on how stuff works ...noone explains anything... so in order to learn linux you have to know it.
thats why m$ can afford to be so sucky: their competition sucks so much more
i said to the guys at irc #linzwizard hey thnx for the build, i can boot it too (gizard aka linwizard 0.3.0) but the touchscreen driver crashes.
he then said make a support request at sourceforge which i did (btw it isnt obvious how to .. it should be very simple. but hey... thats the linux way, isnt it) response was.. and this is a shocker.. your touchscreen driver doesnt work(.... grrreeeaat) you should disable it...(no description on how)
up for the rom with wifi for the pharos!
Thanks
Not to rain on anyone parade but from the first page from TI, it looks like to get wifi support you have to have a special chip in the phone(upper left corner) thats diferent that the chip to get wifi, so unless someone knows for sure that the WiLink chips are present, I think we are without wifi
Wait and see...
The only problem is... How long does it take to finalize such a ROM?
If it takes 1 yr, for example, I think I will have already changed to at least TouchHD..
Anyway, good news!
Hello! I have a HTC Pharos for one month. Yesterday, i accidentally have wetted phone by tea, and then i disassembled it for cleaning. Cleaning was finish sucсessfully, now phone is working
During disassembly of the device I have made some pictures. I think Wlan module is in the device. Look at the photo! Motherboard have many connectors for external antennas, and Wlan connector is on the board!
http://www.flash-remont.narod.ru/pharos/pharos.jpg
thank you for the picture, its in a good resolution! but what would have made it more clear is if you would have looked for a specific Texas instruments chip with letter combinaton BRF or BL (there are 4 chips mentioned with a dual solution BL6450 BRF 6350 BRF6300 and BRF6150 last one is not good because its a bluetooth only chip) we should also be looking for TI chips with a WL designation and number 1271 1273 1251 1253
at least (BRF6300) - Bluetooth specification v2.0 + EDR single chip should be in the Pharos since we have that bluetooth spec.
in the picture i can make out the TWL3027 chip with extra designation BZQW (at least i think its that chip ... according to the ti site that would be the baseband chip but it doesnt describe on the site what the extra letters mean)http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12311&contentId=4706

hope this is readable since i have a hangover
Kostyan could you post the other pics you made of the interior of the Pharos

Maybe this iron box is Wlan module?
http://flash-remont.narod.ru/pharos/pharos2.jpg
I may open this box, if it is requires for this research
And on this picture, front side of device it is found Wlan antenna? (if overwind board, supposed Wlan module with connector correspond (matched) to on position with Wlan antenna, and it connected with module)

Hi all,
I will buy a second hand used Htc Touch HD but i want to be sure that all the hardware of the phone works. So is there a test mode to test all hardware (such as GSM, GPS, Speakers, Mic, memory card, buttons, nand-flash and etc.) ? I used e-ten before and it had a test mode to be sure that all the hardware is working

There's no "test mode" that I'm aware of, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone had written something to do what you're looking for...
I called customer service to learn if there is a test mode. They informed me older HTC models had a test mode (*#*#3424#*#*). Newer models does't have a test mode
Then you'll just have to play around with it for half an hour
I have it now
