I was curious if anybody had tried to use the camera module from an Audiovox 6600 in a Siemens SX66.
From what I can tell the Siemens SX66 has all of the connectors already but it just has a piece of plastic in place of the camera module.
Anybody out there who has successfully plugged a camera module in a Siemens SX66?
I did it! I've got a XDAIII from German, It's like Siemens because It lacks camera, so I bought both camera and back plastic cover from an ebay seller, I disassembled my XDAIII and I put the camera on it. It works great!!

I have spent hours searching all over the net/ebay and cannot find anything about adding a camera to an XDAIII. Did you buy this camera from someone that has many of them or was it the only one for sale. I would like to do this if it's possible.
What i found was an auction for the back plastic cover of SPV M2000, the same seller out the ebay network sold me the camera and other parts too.

Will do.
Honestly, I wouldnt bother with it. The blueangel camera is pretty bad. Indoor shots dont even bother unless you have super lighting...
BA Camera Mod Ebay info
All i did was search for the Audiovox PPC-6600 or vx6600
PPC-6600 is from Sprint
vx6600 is from verizon
my total cost on the unit was $54 including fedex it will be here next week.
My EBay Supplier is EBay Store "Sundaysseconds"
They have lots of the vx6600's
and in bulk they have 50 ppc-6600's for about $1500 they have individual listings as well. They like paypal, but my stupid bank is a bunch of jackoffs and wont do the paypal verification process, so i had to call my order in.

The seller sold me the camera part, so if you want it, u have just to ask!
for only 5gbp I can replace my used keyboard too (it's attached to blueangel with glue :shock: ok but if u'r patient u can do it! ) (U must do it also if you wanna change the sliding part of your blue angel ... the one that every blue angel owner hate!)
write me for any question.
Bye
Camera Update
Its kewl.
Ok My Verizon XV6600 came in yesterday so i was prompt and impatient and tore it apart , It is the same form factor but it is not a BlueAngel, its a Harrier mainly the difference between the GSM and CDMA model i think.
The Blue Angel Models did not come with a flash, the Harrier did, so if i want that to work im going to have to think of something incredibly intelligent to mod it to work, since where the power connector for the Harrier is on the Blue Angel its ascrew hole that apparently needs the screw in or it wont boot up, or something.
Ok the Camera Module Slid in perfectly to the connector and the Antannae plate from the Harrier works fine. I had to use an exacto and cut open the sim card port from the Harrier backplate to fit on the BlueAngel but it worked fine.
I will take pictures of the 2 units side by side and let you know how it works and the differences.

'Fuzzy_bunny' :shock: :roll: :lol: ?
I don't have any new rear covers at the moment, but do have the camera modules for £20 plus shipping ( £2 UK, £5 ROW) and I'll include a used rear plastic cover with the hole in it for free.
Richard.
Ok, I received the camera and back today. Installed both. Curretly I am running 1.40.125 precooked ROM from the SX66 standardization project. Is it possible to get the camera working with this ROM? If not what options do I have.
If you add the camera files to the 1.40.125 extrom and modify config.txt accordingly, it should work. You could probably figure it out by comparing the SX66 project ROM to a similar PDA2K version from the FTP site.
SX66 Camera
I just had to boot it up after i installed the camera, it installed on its own...

Were you using the standard Cingular ROM that came with the phone?
I bought my Orbit 2 a couple of months ago and very happy with it , but just the other day the rubber ring on the scroll wheel disappeared, obviously it fell off somehow, the glue not strong enough i guess.
Rather than have to send my XDA back for repair and wait 10 days, i'd prefer to get the rubber ring and stick it on myself. The wheel still works, but not so effective without the friction of the rubber. Does anyone know where i may be able to get the part from?
thanks
Rob
Mines gone as well. Is it possible to get spares anywhere? Did you get yours sorted Rob?
I had a longlong chat with the support. They told me that I have to sent my phone in for repair (what takes rather long since I am living in Austria and now have to send it to Germany). I could kill HTC for this. All I need is that rubber.
you could check if there exists an "O-ring" seal that fit in the whell,
at least this is what I would do...
Ste
the same has happened to mine. I found mine on the floor ,didnt know what it was and binned it. a week later I noticed it was missing ion my orbit2 lol. o2 has told me you cannot buy spares ,and also even thought my orbit2 was only a month old,external parts not covered in the warranty .basically 60quid and a long wait if I want it repaired . I ain't happy .
Same has happened to mine and having previously owned an original Orbit. I prefer the originals ball roller compared to the ring & button on the Orbit 2.
Step back me thinks...
I bought 225 pieces of Rubber O-rings off ebay and some super glue and it is sorted for me. But then I sold the phone and bought my self a brand new one with the original ring. Any one needs link for the O-rings please let me know.
Same problem for me too... do you have that link for the o rings or has anyone managed to source the actual part?
Thanks,
Tom
My scroll wheel has fallen off.
Does anybody have any info/links for replacements?
Anybody successfully replaced their scroll wheel?
the same sh*t happend to me -> I called to to O2 authority, and they rejected my claims as it is external part. Then I came to one of the O2 stores in Saturn and withdrew the ring from the exhibition phone Ok, maybe its not that fair, but I see no other way
the overall build quality of the orbit 2 is poor in comparison to the origonal i find the whole thing verry plastiky i have also just got off the phone to O2 and have explaned that the rubber on the touch weel has come off and they wanted to send me a new phone lol i advised them a repair would be sufficant and they are sending me a returns bag to have the item fixed. i didnt even have to get angry just explaind the problem and that i have researched it on the net and found many otheres have had the same issue and the wonderfull lady just said sorry ill get this sorted for you. i couldnt beleve it all god customer service for me it seems lol
update they replaced the phone for me as i hadnt herd back from them regards return and i seem to have a spare unit as they sent the new one but it wasnt to be dispatched till they receaved the old one oops lol now how to fix that dam wheel ?????? lol
Well mark this up as a idiot move. I drove the wifes car yesterday and she left a mug of coffee in it. Well not thinking I threw the phone in the cup holder like I do in my truck, well 15 minutes later I get home and grab the phone a coffee comes pouring out I was pissed, I have finally got it the way I want and I ruin it. I opened it up and let it dry out and remarkabley it turned on. Some discoloration in the screen which would be no big deal I could by another, but the phone just keeps searching. It wont pick up a signal. Guess I fired something.
Now I am debating on what to do, buy another dash, or another HTC Phone. I need one that will accept the T-mobile Sim card. I dont really like the wing, any suggestions? New phone or Dash?
Oh, and I just cancelled the insurance 2 months ago...
Did it have sugar in it? Sugar really destroys electronics..
What I would do is completely disassemble the phone and wash the main board and components (not the screen) in mild soapy water in a bowl..
Rinse it all with clean water, the rinse with alcohol (99% if you can find it).
Leave dry in the sun.
I know people may find this process odd, however I have worked in electronics manufacturing for years, and that is actually how they clean the boards.
A big dishwasher, and a dryer.
Of course in manufacturing they use de-ionized water and a different soap, but this method will work.
Make sure you use Palmolive. Soften your hands while doing it.
I had to. lol
You may also want to use a canned air duster or compressed air after rinsing to get under some electrical components and ic's etc.
It's done dude. ebay a new one, they're like $150. Keep that one for spare parts.
I feel for ya, been there...
nobody answered his question... i would definatly get another dash, after finding all the upgrades and apps in this forum, the dash can rival any phone even the iPone with the right apps, definitly get another dash
and sorry for your loss... i know i'd die right along with my phone if it passed away

I would also agree. I would get another Dash if you dont fix the one you have.
New phones will start trickling in and 3g is just starting with Tmobile, so I would wait for new models to hit the market.
that sucks man.
get another phone. you already know what a dash feels like. go with another WM phone.
Actually I think all I need to replace is the screen, I might be lucky. I'm going to buy one someone is selling for parts on ebay. I can use my shell and their insides and screen. $50. And Im also buying a tilt. I think the wife will get the dash, she wants a new phone. Most of the fun for me is getting it set up and now that I know what to do to get it set up I want another toy. SO I ordered a tilt and will sim unlock it sat. Maybe Ill use both and just switch out the sim every once in a while.
Im about to get the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 and if you all have seen it the back is awful, At least in my opinion looks like an old phone look,
I was wondering if you all thought the Battery Cover Door for the EU one will be exact fit as the T-Mobile one,
I want the Silver back then the Mocha i think it is back.
I reviewed it in real life then compared it to videos they look exact to me i wouldnt imagine them changing the actual phone.
If anyone knows that'll be great if they're exact fit before i pay $25 for it.
Silver one:

T-Mobile One:
http://images.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/htc-touch-pro2-t-mobile-wing-ii-4.jpg
The mute button looks the same, The usb curve on the bottom though you cant see it is the same,
I dont think the T-Mobile one has 2 mics but thats just a hole, Thanks sorry if been asked.
Gotta go to work thanks for the replies if any knows.
for the life of me, i simply can't figure out why telcos always go and mess around with the handset's default design. in almost every instance they make it worse.
the device looks really cheap an the T3D is an earlier version than the default device
yea I'd like to know this too..for when I buy the device on AT&T. I want it to look as much like the euro version as possible.
anyone know if the euro battery cover would fit on the US-branded units?
Personally I like the backs of the default generic/Euro version and the Verizon versioin (I like the world map they included in the back, what can I say)
And the front I like the most is the Telux one. Unfortunately there's no chance of changing the front I'm guessing
I am not sure where you buy that phone, but the Dutch (The Netherlands) T-Mobile branded HTC TP2 has the original silver cover.
I see the picture you linked, and I agree it is ugly!
(The original TP did not have the nice black diamond back and no LED Flash, but the TP2 seems to be identical besides the T-Mobile logo's and the ROM as the real HTC-TP2)
Just to let yall know ill be ordering the back on Wednesday when i get the Phone, Ill post if it fits or not its only 20 dollars,
I'll personally when i get paid change the front outer border, also they sell the chromish or whatever front faceplate for i think 20 dollars might have to check a few times.
The T-mobile back is just so blah and the square speaker isnt nearly as cool as the round one going all the way down.
Like I said ill post if it fits or not i went to review it at my T-mobile store and i watched video from my G1 and it looks identical on the actual fit of the phone,
Lets hope right? I have seen the Sprint World Map one thats amazing looking but that back wont be out forever.

I like that several US carriers went without chrome (Verizon's rim looks a little like black chrome). I don't really want shiny happy people to relate to me.
But generally speaking, you're right. Carrier's designfu is weaker than HTC's.
Unfortunately the world cover one won't fit on the normal gsm versions. At least I don't think it will as it must make more space for he 3.5mm jack.
The Sprint one looks weird... the brown is just ugly, but the back is an interesting design...
interesting good or interesting bad I haven't decided yet
Yea i forgot i about that, It looks the Exact same on the EU and T-Mobile one but the sprint is differnt from pictures that has been posted,
Reason why im waiting to order the back till wendesday is so i can do a detailed comparasion at home instead of at the malls T-mobile haha
Iv also seen custom Battery Back Covers floating around if any one is interested i think i seen them all on ebay/
Title says all. I was goofing around and had my phone in my pocket and landed on it cracking the screen in the corner. Digitizer still works but where can I find a real honest to god OEM replacement screen?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-LCD-DISPLAY-SCREEN-REPLACEMENT-HTC-G2-DESIRE-Z-/350485715231?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item519a93991f
I don't want to get a cheap ripoff replacement but this looks legit (I guess) Anyone care to give an expert input on if I should get this or not?
Much thanks in advance. (Back to my Moto RAZR V3 til then)
are you sure you broke the digitizer, the lcd screen, or both?
the digitizer should cost you around $20
what you posted is the actualy lcd screen
I would buy from a US seller just avoid any complications.
check the feedback rating on the ebay seller you are buying from
chances are, they have sold the exact prduct before. See what other buyers have to say about their purchase
The digitizer is fine. I checked the function using droid explorer screencast. I cracked the LCD.
I just don't want to replace the screen with some knockoff poor quality LCD.
Thanks for the reply.
Then buying any lcd screen on ebay should be fine. You should understand that generally people on ebay aren't trying to sell you fake or non quality products, unless its blatantly a scam or too good to be true. Buy from a US seller just in case something goes, its easier to deal with. China and other overseas sellers may be able to get you the same product for less, but transit times can take a while. And paypal only has a 45 day grace period for opening disputes to get your money back, in case things go terribly wrong.

And there's many teardown guides on youtube to get you going. Easy peasy, as long as you're gently and can handle things carefully
By the way, Use the thanks button. A lot better than saying thanks in a post
Gotcha.. I whacked that button for you.
Tearing into the phone won't be an issue. The seller I have linked above is stateside so I will go ahead and purchase that and hopefully be tossing the V3 into backup phone status.
