I believe my camera is broken - black screen. I'm not sure but I think it's happened after I upgraded to wm6.
Does anyone had the same problem and was able to fix it or the hardware is ****ed up and there's nothing to do?
Thanks
no....
honestly I don't believe that an upgrade to wm6 can "break" your camera...
... and then there is a simple test that you can try: come back to the original shipped i-mate rom (ftp://ftp.clubimate.com) and you see what happens.
but.... why don't you give us some more infos?
like: is a G3/G4 locked or unloked, IPL/SPL version...
hi
tommy
well, I did that. I restore the original rom and the camera still didn't work.
My phone is G3 locked and I installed on top wm6 from faria (a nice one!).
Of course it could just be that my camera gave up. Since I was not using it regularly and at some point after the upgrade to wm6 I saw the problem it was one of the link.
Can the hardware of the camera be affected by the overclocking?
hey~
i think i may have a similar problem (but the explination doesn't go in to deep detail)
when i try to snap a picture, about half the time it will snap....half the time it just goes black (the screen) and no matter what....it WILL NOT SAVE the photo.
i've tried changing where it saves the photos (main memory or sd card) as well as changed all the settings one by one (megapixels, fine:super fine, snapping type [full press etc] etc. etc. etc. i also tried changing settings via the advance config tool often mention onthe forums)
i haven't updated the rom (stock at&t rom is installed....i'm savy but not savy enuf to change the rom lol) nor have i updated windows (it always gives me an error...says it cant connect to the server or something, oh well i don't much care for micro$ucks anyways lol)
it's running windows 6.1 professional...i have plenty of memory free and hadn't installed anything new or tweaked any settings the day it stoped working....
any ideas?
~j
ps.
oh yeah, oddly...the video record function still works....
Camera might be out of the connecting socket - open your device and make sure it's connected. Failing that - the replacement cameras can be purchased fairly cheaply.
thanks i'll give that a try and let ya know if it works!
i appreciate the very fast reply it's nice to know im not the only insomniac out there lol
~j
Moved since problem is not ROM related.

Haha, I am 18 hours or so ahead of you.
thank you and sorry i placed my question in the wrong area....where has it been moved to though? :s (while ive been a member her for a while, i am still new to posting...ill admit i usually read...but i hope to change that )
~j
No worries. Let us know when you get it fixed and how.
hey all~
enigma....now i see it's enigmaNZ so new zeeland i assume is where you are....so maybe im a lone insomniac lol
jwzg....thanks again
all....as to the suggestion of opening the phone case....well with my nerve disease i'm going to have to have a friend do that since my hands are often no where near steady...ill let ya all know if that works.
mean time i may also look for maybe some other camera software....like i said, it will snap the photo but it refuses to SAVE the photo....so maybe the software is corrupt who knows....ill try it all
~j
hey all~
so i dove into my system registry tonite....i tweaked some things, changed the localtion of where stuff gets saved, changed some 1's to 0's an vice versa an it now seems to work....hope it remains working!
~j
Must have been a bad camera package.
jwzg~
yeah who knows, i'm just happy it's working again

Hello - I've been searching these forums and the wiki and Google too looking for a solution to this but so far, can't find a solution so hope members here can help:
I recently got another XDA Exec and a week ago, the phone mic stopped working. I know its not a hardware problem as the phone can record my voice for notes.
I've done a few hard resets and each time, nothing changes, so am truly baffled.
I'd be very grateful for any answers to this, and apologise in advance if I have missed an answer that has already been posted - I have tried searching, honest!
Cheers,
JB

Try another ROM...perhaps?
I could do, but before I attempt anything like that - something I've not done before - I wanted to figure out how to remedy it with the existing ROM, which is the O2 one installed without all of O2's own stuff.
It was working perfectly well with this ROM before....in fact the only thing I can think of that might somehow have caused this was me pairing the XDA with a bluetooth handsfree set the same day. It might just be coincidence, it might not - I can't tell.
I suppose what I'm hoping for is some guidance re any settings on the device that I don't know about that have caused this, or the necessary registry edit to remedy the problem. Its odd that the phone mic worked before then stopped working, despite hard resets with the same ROM. Forgive my naivety, but I thought ordinary user-level tweaks didn't affect the core settings of the ROM....or am I wrong?
Cheers,
JB
PS - Lower Hutt! I remember seeing it through the mist one day after catching the ferry from the South Island before heading off to Cuba Street for a boozy afternoon...
Yup, got exactly the same problem before buying my HD.
I thinked that my micro was dead and didn't try to fix it before.
Just now i got here to search another rom to test and i saw this thread highlighted
The rom on my universal is TOMAL 8.0 or more i don't exactly remember the version, what's yours ?
I will download another version to check if the micro will be alright and give some feedback

Could be a range of reasons, from some program install or addition to the software set to files going missing. Trying a new ROM or reflashing with the original (but believe me, once you try new WM6.1 You'll probably never go back) might be one of the solutions. Flashing of ROM is a piece of cake, however, I recommend reading as much as possible on the procedure and ways to remedy the unexpected situations before you begin. Everything you may possibly need and answers to all your questions is contained in a Wiki - have a look and ask questions if you cannot find answers and are completely stuck.
Heh, Lower Hutt is on the opposite side of the harbour, coming from SI.
I reflashed with TOMAL 8.9 and micro works very well now
i readed too fast yesterday and didn't see that you're using the original rom, like enigma1nz suggest you, i suggest you too to try a 6.1 rom, it's really great and improve a lot the speed/touch felling/etc for the universal.
Plus it's really easy to flash a rom, it's not necessery to read a lot of documentation,
you just need to connect your universal to pc with activesync (4.5)
and launch the exe file from the rom
hi to every one,
my problem is simply, my interna gps doesn't work!!!
After that my diamond goe in assistance, the gps stopped to work or it seems so. I' tried to flash all the radio rom fro 1.00.25xx to 1.17.xx but nothing matters. With htc gps tool, only with the 1.17.xx radio it has a sign of life, shows the numbers of satellites but doesn't fix anyone.
Can any one help me???
Thanks
Do a search on GPS problems, there is a simple fix already posted in several places.
Did you find a solution?
I'm loosing the patience!!! there's no solution for my problem!!!
Is it possible... there's no one that has the same problem and has found a solution?!?
Foil fix V.2
I saw it was an old thread but i found a simple solution for it.....there is an old fix taping some foil on the backside but as that DIDN`T work for me really i did another thing with it so send me a PM if you still have your phone and the problem
Hello!,
After trying a numerous NAND roms for my HD2, on every of them the accelerometer is not working. But flashing back to winmo everything is OK and accelerometer works.
Problems having : No screen rotation, no games work which need accelerometer, no bubble meters and so on.
I saw lots of threads here, but none of them were answered. Also some fixes out there from january, but its is said that new kernels include that fix.. Being really desperate about the accelerometer to start working tryed everything , all those fixes - none of them worked.
I really would appreciate if somebody would say a 100% answer if they had same problem and is it for EVERYONE that you are chilling around without accelerometer with NAND roms?
Or, a nicely explained , or some new fixes around there, to fix that..?
I have European HD2, Bought in Estonia. 2.15 radio, and RAFDroid build atm 4.02
Before teyed all cyagenmod build from MDJ, imilka builds, Coredroid, etc.
Waiting for a adequate anwer!, and Thank you in advance!
Daniil.
No pb for me with each Nand i tested. (prj Clean Desire, typhoon, Hyperdroid)
i had this to on my sd build i used to have but when i went to NAND everything was fixed
maybe you can try to recalibrate it in android?

Usually d G-Sensor/Accelerometer has been pre-calibrated while cooking d android build...I've never had such a problem on SD, NAND or RAM builds....Perform a Task 29 on ur device and try flashing the build contained in my signature....CMY's work has always been great...
Done task29, done recalibration in android, everything... same. There is numerous people having the same prob , as i have seen from questions subforum.

Hmmm...Since it works on WinMo, try recalibrating it there and then run an android sd build (i just tried "Desire_DL" series and all was ok....on d other hand, have u tried d NAND build in my sig?
I have tryed everything, including your builds in the signature.... Nothing helps
Help!
Try the post that is in my sig, there is alot of info in there that might be of use to you. What definitely controls the G-Sensor is the bma150_usr file. If nothing in my post helps you at all, then I am unable to help you further since I dont have a Eu HD2. But I still believe that there might have been a revision which might explain your troubles as well as some other people.
Tryed that also, no help at all.

Hmm, dats quite a dilemma....I tk it u can't return n request for another device seeing as u got it 4rom Estonia...or can u?
Android is not supposed to run on HD2 anyways, so why should i have an opportunity to return my device for another one?

True it wasn't but IT IS...I and several others are proof it works beautifully on the HD2, even better than some native android devices...I offered a suggestion n its ur call 2 tk it or leave it...I on d other hand, love my current android build on my HD2.
Have u tried this workaround?
P.S. Oh yeah, and my accelerometer/g-sensor works perfectly in apps n games.
I mean, yeah it is working, but... not working for my device. And the point was that i can't take it to my local shop for a return, as the g-sensor works for the WinMo, and they will say that its your fault that it isn't working in android. Yeah i know that accelerometer works on androids on the Tmobile HD2-s
And yeah, i have tryed
Different type of g-sensor
I understand that some newer builds of the HD2 have a different type of g-sensor. I have x4 HD2's. 3 are working perfectly with HyperDroid CM7 cheerful cheetah. The forth is used by my company co-director which I recently tried to move over to the HyperDroid CM7 cheerful cheetah from WM6.5. This is when I came across the problem. Very annoying. The fact is that this device went back to HTC to repair/replace a cracked screen (I dropped the device last June). I suspect they gave me a reconditioned or replacement unit with the "updated" sensor.
Please advise me if there are any new developments. I can confirm that the HD2 (with the working g-sensor) has incredible battery life and is only my no.2 device because of the 8mp camera on the DesireHD.
Regards,
Jay

Hi Jay, I've got a similar problem.
Actually, I've got (or had) an EU model, and my screen cracked, so it has been out for repair. So both descriptions in this post (yours and Auralol's) fit my problem. I have been looking for a fix for a while now, did you find anything?
I would love it to work, it really is the only thing that doesn't. If this is fixed, my HD2 would be perfect and irreplaceable.
If you find anything that helps, keep me posted?
Kind regards,
Bas
Hey Bas,
I contacted vfuk & simply said that there was a problem with the g-sensor on my HD2... The helpful telephone attendant asked me to remove the battery, memory and sim cards and a replacement device would be with me the next day. The following day the courier took the troubled HD2 and handed me a new Desire HD albeit without the antenna and battery covers. I have a spare battery and ordered the covers from expansys.
I did explain to vfuk what happened - they said I wasn't to worry.
At the time of writing I now have x4 dhd's and a working HD2 with HyperDroid which I am going to give to a pal to lure him away from Nokia...
I now have no way of helping you further. Sorry bout that.
Best,
Jay

Heyy Jay,
Thanks for the reply. So, you kind of worked around the issue Sounds like great customer service. Too bad my provider does not work like that.
Just being curious if you had the same problem as I am facing now, did you try to retrieve / read data from the sensor (i.e. with "sensor debug")? I tried yesterday, didn't get any data at all. Probably means Android doesn't see the sensor, or it is indeed a different sensor and therefore needs other drivers.
I just downloaded some e-books about android and java, just to see how it works with hardware. Maybe it is possible to implement my 'own' drivers in a ROM to make sure the sensor can be detected at least. I guess it is going to be my pet project to find a solution, and when I do, I'll probably try to get it posted on xda. But then again, my programming skills are minimal at this point (just some Basic, html and Step 7), so it might take me a while...
Anyway, thanks for the reply. Too bad your solution does not work for me (I would not mind that either).
Kind regards,
Bas

Hi,
I'm having the same issue as you and was wondering if you had made any progress or if there is anything I could help you with although my programming knowledge is probably more limited than yours. Anyway this issue seriously needs to be looked at! :'(
Still no fix?
Hello, I know it is old thread, but I see there are more people than only me having this issue. Same thing happens to me. Accelerometer isnt working on Android, but it works great on WinMo. I tried a lot of ROMs, "fixes", but nothing helped at all. I used apps like Sensor debug, and sensor list, seems that they dont see my g sensor at all, like someone said before. As I know, g sensor is connected with bma150_usr file, but I used my Root Explorer to search for that file and there is no such a file at all. Shouldnt it come to my device with other ROM files? Yes, I tried to put it where it should be, but the same s**t again... Is there anyone who solved this thing? Because I dont see any solutions mentioned in the whole xda forum.
Looking forward for answers which REALLY helps.
Hi,
I have this same problem, My g-sensor didin't work on AMeriCan Android.
I was reading a topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902129, and my question for this: How I can delete files
Before installing the file above, go to System/Bin and delete the bma150_usr, then navigate to Data/Misc, and delete the following files:
AK8973Prms.txt
AK8973.Prms.txt.tmp (If there)
bma150_usr.txt (If there)
After navigate to the above file and add it to System/BIN and then your calibrating will function correctly and adjust the values properly.

Hello all,
hope somebody could explain me how to get rid of strange screen acting - flickering/not responding in several areas/becoming unresponsible...
It happens in average every second day and i can easily get it to normal by just blocking/unblocking it.
I thing it is more like software issue not hardware, right ?
Pls see everything in this minivideo attached and archived (can't attach it normally and can't post the link since im new user).
Big thanx in advance !
Have you considered updating touch firmware from hidden menu? Search around and you'll find it
If that doesn't help, I suggest you either try upgrading/downgrading your software. If that doesn't help either it might be a loose connection.

Hi,
thanx for answer. I just tried to update touch firmware, when i press on it, it freezes a bit but nothing happens.
I will try to google how to downgrade my system, Can you tell me what did you think by saying loose connection ? Do you think it might be hardware ? As you see in the video, screen doesnot flicker in all areas as many people have, but just in certain areas and when i slide down menu window, you see it was not flickering.
