Camera / wifi not working

Hello!
I have an Imate Jamin - it is quite an early model - it has black send/receive keys (bought it on February 2006).
The fact is that the camera and the Wifi do not work. When I start the camera application I see the clock icon for a second and then nothing happens (I remain at the exact screen). The wifi on the othe rhand seems to try to detect networks but never finds anything.
So.. the big question is whether this is software related (I have currently hard resetted and use S200's latest firmware) or hardware related. In other words two could happen:.
a. Either my model uses some older camera / wifi and thus the new firmware does not have proper drivers (has anyone else upgraded his eaelry jamin?)
or
b. Due to the many falls something has broken in my jamin (is this expected).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me with this - I cannot find any solution.. I tried downgrading to see if its firmware related but I got an error message.. (Invalid Command at 95%)
Thanks in advance

Which ROM did you install?
AKU 2.2, 2.3, or 3.2?

You have to download using an official ruu rom upgrade (downgrade), there are better people to tell you which one rather than me, I am quite new to this group. One of the upgrades does break wifi/camera so it is not just your phone, a download will cure it, you have not broken it.

Please Help - Wifi Disabled

I jsut dicovered my new G4's wifi has been disabled by operator. Can anyone help to activate it? There is a red cross over the comm manager on today screen. Please help!!

Do I feel silly or what.
I got rid of the icon (and the whole tray) so I didn't remember, but the cross just means your WiFi is off (not flight mode as I said earlier), which is the default state. Open the comm manager (you can use the button on the left side of the phone) and tap the antenna icon. this will turn WiFi on.
Just in case I am wrong (phone operators don't like devices with WiFi because it reduces data usage by customers) hard reset your phone and quickly soft reset before customization is installed (there should be a 3 second countdown).

What the above poster said.
Or perhaps flash your phone with a new/clean ROM from e.g. qtek. (here)
But flashing the device is not really everyone their thing, so you need to figure out whether you wanna do that at all. Giving it a hardreset without installing the extra apps almost gives the same result.
But don't forget to use the 'ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe ' when you try to update, else you get an error. But that's all in the topic there. And don't forget to fully charge battery before update
(hey, this is the upgrading part of website no bad to lead people to the dark side eh? )

wifi
I have tried so many romes and none of them will turn on my wifi is there some trick I need to know about? did you fix your wifi?

Well, when using a different rom I guess the operater doesn't have that much to do with it anymore.
Just when you go into the com-manager you see an icon that looks like an antenna thingy with a little cross next to it. Just press it and there you have wifi (should become yellow without the cross).
That should be working standard with a 'normal' rom like the new qtek one. Connecting is another story though once the wifi is enabled (connecting with wifi is a bit tricky at times).

I flashed the qtek rom on my Dopod 830 (bought in China) successfully. However, the wifi on the comm manager still failed to activate. So the assumption (conclusion) is China Telecom simply removed the the wifi chip.

I think you may just have a faulty device.
To my knowledge, no phone company actually has the facility, or would bother with the enormous cost of modifying devices in such a way.
Could you be more specific as to what happens? I have a feeling there is a big misunderstanding here somewhere.
You press the button on the side, the comm manager comes up, you click the icon with an antenna and...
a) noting happens.
b) error message pops up.
c) wait cursor (circle with 4 colors) appears, but the button remains with the x.
d) non of the above.
I think you may have rushed a bit with flashing different ROMs. Try putting the original ROM back, without the extended ROM and see what happens.

Thanks levenum! My problem is (c), there is a waiting sign and the icon remained x. The original rom is in simplified chinese CHS and now I am having the 2.20.7.34 wwe with everything running fine except wifi. Will try to flash back to a CHS rom and see what is happening.

Well that does sound like a hardware / driver problem, but it is more likely a fault than intentional deactivation.
Is the phone under warranty by chance?
If so, once you have the original ROM you might try getting it repaired in the lab.
Also check the phone details on the site of your phone company. Do they state this model has WiFi or do they 'conveniently' omit it.

I checked with China Telecom and Dopod, they said the wifi chip has been removed. I am not sure how they can remove the chip but many phones selling in China have got wifi removed. How can I know the wifi is physically removed or is jsut deactivated?

I have exactly the same problem with you, as I searched the forum, some poster tell that Dopod from China mobile, the wifi chip is factory removed.
Does anyone have the schematic of the full-function prophet, so i could locate the wifi chip position, so i can upgrade my Dopod 830 by hardware way
thanks

Qtek 2020/Himalaya No Service problem

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Qtek 2020/Himalaya/PH10B displaying no service and not gaining any signal what so ever. I flashed it with Ather's Windows Mobile 6.1 Dark Edition. The signal still didn't work even then! I updated the radio from 1.14 to 1.17 and still the same problem, stuck another working sim in my current phone and still nothing! used different working network sims and still nothing. it's a clean install meaning no apps apart from what came with the Operating System.
another note, radio is enabled but the signal bar at the top right shows an Explanation mark where the level of signal should be
Please can anyone help me with this issue?
< Info >
ROM date: 06/29/2008
ROM Version : 6.1.0.00SA
Radio: 1.17.0
Protocol: 1337.24

Thanks

sounds like a hardware malfunction with the sim slot in the phone

Thanks for the reply Rudegar,
It ask for the sim's pin number upon startup, i'm able to browse my sim's contact's? so it can't be the sim slot that's the problem?

bump
please guys? does someone know a solution? i've searched google and the forums and i've yet to find an answer to my problem

That idiot probably killed your phone by replacing GSM module that doesn't work. Your phone is dead, sorry .
One more question. Was the phone working before you sent it to him second time for that "hardware change"? By "hardware change" he probably meant robbing you from good hardware.

[Q] Nubia Z5s, WiFi Issue, Hardware or SoftWare?

Hi!
I have posted this message on another thread, but it's important so I create a special thread for it.
Indeed I received my Z5s yesterday and I have 1 week to find out if my WIFI issue is hardware or software. In the case of hardware, I need to send back my phone to china .
I received the phone rooted, so if I want to install the last update from nubia (1.30) I have different manipulation to do. Howevver, I am afraid that if I touch the rom, the seller can tell me "you changed the rom, before it was working so it's your fault. we don't give you back the money!".
So I am waiting he allows me to put back the official rom 1.30. By the way if anybody has a good tutorial (in english) about unroot and changing ROM, I would be very grateful
There is the description of my WIFI issue:
First (yesterday) I couldn't find any WIFI and then after a factory reset, I could find some wifi but not everything. By example in my laboratory, the general WIFI of the school appears (and is working) but not the wifi of my lab... Anyway I found out than others WIFI were missing too. (Maybe 15 were alright on 20).
Now (today), in my lab, I can't even find 1 WiFi! I have tried the factory reset and it still doesn't work. In the description of the last update (1.30), I found "6. 修复wifi小概率无法打开的问题 = Small probability can not open wifi fix problems".
It looks like my problem fix except that in my case it is not a small probability but it (almost) always happen...
So I need your expert opinion, do you think it is more probably hardware issue or software issue? Does any Z5s owner have this problem (sometimes or alway)? I've bought the phone in Eternal Team on Aliexpress, I don't know what is their custom ROM, did anyone buy the phone there and know what is the ROM ?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
