First off, great forum. Been a reader and fan for some time now.
Little question for you all. Looking at the inclosed jpegs, did anyone had this problem with their Polaris camera? I'm wondering if I broke mine, or maybe this is due to flashing a cooked ROM?
Hope you all can shed some light on my problem.
Look at the eClub
Hey Jeat!
Look at the htc eClub, there is a fix for the camera.
I hope that this could fix ur prob.

Thanks for the tip. Tried it, but that did'nt fix it.
I don't think it had anything to do with the quality of the pictures, but more with a constant overlighting.
No one else had this before?
Take a look at the brightness settings, and the advanced settings -- if you're not clear on how to access these settings, it's in the manual -- maybe you've accidentally changed something in there...
I got exactly the same problem here.
From one day to another suddenly my camera is like that...and i already checked every setting if it might have any influence on the pictures...I couldn't fix it.
Now I'm thinking of sending my orbit 2 back to o2... :/
I had this problem too. All of my pictures were like the one you mentioned. I have tried everything to solve this big problem, without success. After a couple of weeks the camera doesn't work anymore, because of the "Cannot initialize" error. This error is caused by a hardware fault, therefor I have to send the phone back to the factory.
I got exactly the same problem!
Have it with the original ROM and with the udK Diamond ROM, so I really think it's the camera itself.
Too bad we have to send the phone back
Does anybody fix the problem?
if you say its overlighting.. how is it in dark? or how is it in daylight?
Have you tried the finger over the lens and switch off trick to see if it makes any difference?
There are various fixes mentioned but they dont seem to do much. If a hard reset or a radio flash doesnt sort it then its got to be a hardware issue in which case its back to the factory.
Looks like I'm struck with the same problem...
Gonna contact HTC...
(yes I know, this is an old topic.. but problem does still excist)
same problem here..
does anyone know if it is hardware or software issue? i have changed the rom and radio so many times with results. still getting "camera load error", but.. the secondary camera stills works, but with that overlight effect.
im starting to hate my cruise. my old Elfin worked without any problem at all, and i sold it so i could by this crap.
this sucks!
try update your radio to a higher one that may help

I am currently having a problem with my Uni, it doesn`t appear straight away (after flashing new ROM etc) but instead only appears after i load certain software.
Whats happening...
I am constantly having to re-align the screen, the digitiser can change from one moment to the next, something as simple as changing the orientation of the screen can throw it out of position, its driving me mad
The Programs....
Tomtom 6, Noviiremote deluxe and the new HTC audio manager, these seem to be the cause as far as i can tell.
Is this because they are a different/Greater resolution than the rest of the software (True VGA?), something the uni isn`t designed to accept. Is there a fix/patch that i am missing, or, lastly, is my Uni on tis way out
I am currently using Laurentius26 WM6 Bus Pro RV5 ROM.
Your thoughts would be more than welcome.
NoviiRemote ot of the question, I have it, I use it, I have no problems with it(on WM5, though...).
Of the othe two, I can make no comments...
If you use programs on WM5 you can't compare it with WM6.
You can trie to install one program at the time to see wich program causes the problem.
It's also handy to report your problem to the builder of the rom you're using.
I know that Laurentius always replies on questions and problems with his ROM.
sounds like a hardware problem
i had the exact same thing happen with my HP iPAQ a couple years back.. they replaced the screen under warranty.
try rubbing the screen down with your thumb as if you're trying to align it.. see if that makes any difference.
it did with the iPAQ, but then again the display composition may be different on those two..

With-out any of the above programs installed, the fault isn`t present so far (insert smillie of guy frantically crossing fingers) which leads me to believe that the fault isn`t hardware related.

give it a couple of weeks without installing the software to be sure.
Not sure i can wait that long, one of the main selling points/reason for not upgrading the Uni is its versatility, its ability to constantly re-invent itself, i just can`t get bored with it.
There is always some-thing new to add/change (WM6)(thanks to this forum), it just never gets old.
I love this phone.....
Been running now for a couple of days with-out any Hi-res apps, and the digitizer problems have not happened again.?????
Any-one have any idea why Hi-res apps would be causing me problems.
I`ve been doing some research on the forum and i can honestly say I`m still confused.
The closest i`ve gotten to an explanation is the difference between VGA and qVGA....
i.e
The Output/Display part of the screen for the mentioned programs is VGA and the Input/Digitizer part is qVGA.
i`m guessing at this point, but according to other threads, if you try to run VGA apps without the correct dlls for the digitizer, you get pretty much the same problem i`ve been getting, you think you are pressing on one part of the screen but the uni thinks differently.... something to do with dpi.
I had a problem with my cruise where I would need to run the screen alignment utility multiple times per day. It seems like every time I put my phone in sleep mode, then went to use it again like an hour or so later, the screen would be out of alignment. It was pissing me off very much!
So, I searched all over and came up with alot of people having that same problem -- but not on the TC. After further research, it seems as though the issue with the other device is related directly to a manufacturing flaw, so it really had nothing to do with the problems I was experiencing on the TC, as the two devices have very different screens.
I called and got an RMA and the tech told me that they haven't seen any problems with the polaris, and I should try to hard reset first and see if that would fix it -- then it would be proven to be a software issue and not hardware.
So, thats exactly what I did. I ran spb backup, made a backup, hard reset, and restored the backup...and the problem was fixed!! I cancelled the RMA.
But...anyways..enough with the long story...the point of this thread being, what I am still wondering about -- what in the hell could have caused this problem to begin with, and how would making a backup/hard reset/restoring the backup have fixed it?
If anyone that is smarter than me has any opinions or insights I would gladly appreciate them, cause even though this is fixed I would still like to have some explanation why it occured.
Thanks in advance.
A registry key could have created the problem, one that SPB backup didn't save... but could have been anything... we're talking Windows here... mobile version true, but still the same old M$ Windows... and in 98% of the SW related problems the best option is to reinstall...
Heh, I never thought of it like that, but I guess you are right..
In similar situations like that on a PC (things going wrong that just can't be explained) and when all else fails, a reinstall usually does the trick Oh well...guess there's not really much else to figure out lol..
Goin on 4 days now with no alignment
I just hope it stays fixed
As one of my friends said long time ago:
"What do you mean, it doesn't require reset button? It's running Windows!"
hello,
I know there are a few old threads about this but instead of digging up an old one I thought I would start a fresh, seeing how none have answers on.
I have a problem on my raphael, the wifi wont turn on, I click the button in comms manager and nothing happens, it thinks a while and then decides that it wont turn on.
This occured on the original HTC rom and the Energy 3.0 ROM I have on it now.
Has anyone found a fix to this?
Stuart
hard reset or reload a new rom
To be honest.. I don't think there is a solution to this problem. If it's the problem that I have, then I think it's a hardware problem. Since you've had it happen on two roms now, it might be safe to say that a hard reset won't work.
My situation is similar to yours, except mine will sometimes turn on (and turn itself off in a few minutes).
well!
mild pain, I have tried it over 2 roms 2 radios and a hard reset, so none of them fix it, I dont think it is finding the card properly.
I had the same issue, i confirmed with HTC it is a hardware issue (i don't remember the wifi ever working working, but i did not try it for the first 6 months i owned the phone......)
I actually received my replacement phone in the mail (thanks AT&T) last friday
My problem is that my phone was bought at an import phone store... So they can't really replace the phone for me (I guess they probably can't afford something like that). All they've tried was to direct me to other places to fix the phone. I'd have to send it overseas to fix it =(.
Now that's annoying, I got my phone second hand so really can't send it off for replacement
Looks like the data upgrade orange just gave me 250mb - 500 will come in handy after all!
Thanks for your responses people, I think I will add this to the list of known faults on the wiki.

Hello All,
I am new to this forum. I bought my sensation about two weeks ago. When I was getting into my car one day, the phone slipped out of my shorts and fell, with the screen hitting the concrete. The screen and everything was intact, the phone was only lightly scratched.
Recently, however, my sensation has occasionally been freezing. Its strange because it does not occur in an app. It only occurs when I am scrolling through the homepages or going through the full list of apps. It usually begins working again by itself after about a minute or so. I have done a factory reset, and this problem has reoccurred, just once. The issue only occurs maybe once every few days and isnt that big of a problem. I just have a few questions.
Is this problem most likely software related? Im not sure if it only started happening after I dropped the phone, but it seems to me like this is software related?
Is there anything I can do to fix it? Will the OTA update (if tmobile does it) fix the problem?
Finally, what I am most worried about: is there any possibility (or is it likely) that my phone's condition might worsen later on down the road???
I would like to hear any advice you guys have. Is there anything other than a reset that might be able to fix the problem?

I believe it's the software (sense 3.0) Try changing your home screen. I don't get issues like this since I've changed my homescreen. Try Launcherpro or Go Launcher
do you think that dropping my phone has anything to do with it? Also, do you think it might get worse over time?
Thanks
I dont think it has to do with ur phone dropping...
The random freezes/ force closes/ re-boots seem to be a problem.. wait for the s-off and then some solid custom roms Should fix it all..

I use to think that that's a problem with phones.. but I don't think it actually does has anything to do with the phone acting up, unless it was dropped in a pool.. but otherwise, it's just the software.. sense 3.0 seems really buggy on mines.
Hey!
The Issue: During a phone call the screen turns dark and will not reactivate...it will pop back up after the call disconnects. Hitting any of the site buttons does nothing.
I have tried flashing with the newest firmware (http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...-firmware-released-0502-version/#.UtMOWM93vVI), and although it says this issue has been resolved, it does not fix the problem for me.
I heard that custom ROM fix the solution? (Saw it on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518663).
But last time I tried one of those, the phone bricked and it took me a while to get it back working (finding stock followed by lost IMEI).
Anyone know a solution? Or possibly a good solid custom ROM that will work? I would really appreciate your help!
I am also having this same issue but with my Cubot X6. However mine just doesn't work in the dark. During daylight it responds as it should.
After a lot of googling it seems to be a problem with jellybean as it occurs on a lot of other phones. A way of solving this would be to disable the proximity sensor but I can't find any settings to do so.
Need help

Hey! Not sure if this be of any help, but for me removing the screen (plastic) cover fixed the issue. I assume the screen cover was blocking a sensor thus resulting in my issues.
Just thought I let you know what worked for me...although I doubt your issue can be solved like this.
BTW, I suggest you start a new post, as this one is old and I doubt anyone will read it! also, check out geekbuying.com blog in regards to your phone. They might have more info.
