Hi!
i have two poblems with my new vodafone v1640 that i bought on Ebay.
Problem 1: camera aint working
when i try to start the camera there is a pop-up warning that says
"Failed to initialize camera. 36001:100:1.
Could it be a cord or something that is loose or is it the main board, or what?
Problem 2: when i try to play any kind of sound it doesnt works, not even
the ring tones hears, i doesnt work neither with the speakers, headset or
earphones
The worst thing about this is that i dont think Vodafone V1640 is sold in Sweden at all , so i can't just call the support either.
I would be realy glad if you could help me to find a solution to these problems!
PS:
i have tried to update the rom to the latest version but i didn't help
Try to reflash your ROM and see if everything works out fine. I doubt it is a motherboard issue.
Both things makes me think about the possibility that someone have really opened that PDA, it makes sense to me.
First, it can be a program/rom problem like omega_ says, but thinking from hardware side, a loose camera connector and loose or even unconnected speaker/phone jack cables, solder joints can be also good options.
What to say, are you willing to open the device by yourself?
Do you have somebody to do it for you?
Do you know a trusty technician to make this work?
Whatever you do, do it carefully.
Bye

Stupid me!!!
I didn't have my STYLUS with me, needed to do a soft-reset of my O2 Xda IIs and it wouldn't reset, I pushed it again and again with the only thing I could find (a paperclip) and it wouldn't reset.
THEN, I realized I was pushing the WRONG HOLE!!!! I was pushing the paperclip into the with Microhone hole!!!!
Now, the microphone is ruined. Whenever I use the phone, people can't hear me very well, it sounds garbled, or like I'm far away from the phone.
QUESTION: I found someone local who said they could fix the phone, but when they opened the device, they called to say they don't have a suitable replacement microphone.
Does anyone know EXACTLY what it is I need, and whether or not there is a local place I can BUY the microphone for these guys to install???? Oterwise I am going to have to wait weeks for them to order and have one shipped form China (that's what they said).
Thanks.
C'mon guys, someone MUST know where I can get my hands on a replacement microphone... does anyone have a damaged Blue Angel that I can strip the mic from???
Did you ever find a microphone?
I have a prblem with my microphone as well and have torn my BA apart and found the microphone. It would be an easy repair if I could just find a microphone.
How do you damage your mic?
I have one from a parts phone if you want it...

I made the same mistake and am now awaiting a new microphone.
Did you get yours repaired? If so does it work well now?
Was the repair difficult?
help I have me problems with the camera of the elf!
Don't work me anymore! must I replace her it, would someone know me to say where to find her it?
And possible to replace the camera with one who has more pixelses? If him where I find her it?
excused to my English not and my fort…. Thanks to all beforetime!
What is the problem first of all?
And no, you can't put in a higher res camera.
ebay may have a replacement part.
the main problem and that the camera does not work me, and I have tried to inform to me in a center of assistance in my city (Trieste - Italy) and they have answered to me that the camera of reciprocation does not have to us and very difficult to reperire. And so me meeting without camera and this gives much annoyance to me being that drawn my Elf with much cure.
and on ebay they aren't successful to find it and for this I wondered if by chance it were possible to mount a camera of an other compatible model HTC with l Elf.?
Was it the HTC service centre that said the camera is broken? Did they mention if it was the detachable camera board, or something more?
All I can really suggest is backup, hard reset, does it work?
If not, well, then I would suggest maybe opening your device and checking how the camera board is seating into the mainboard. If it is all fine, you may need to find a new one. Either a new phone, or a new camera board from a dead elf.
Hi all,
I repaired my DHD with a new screen / middle chassis. I got it working again with the Jellytime rom, but the camera fails to start.
I subsequently bought a replacement but that didn't work either.
Could anyone give me any pointers as to what I could check for camera operation ?
i.e. I 'think' I put it back the right way round...its it poss to put it back wrongly ot would it foul?
Only just put the jellytime rom on after reassembly. Could the rom be faulty? Would a reflash work?
Its a shame as I don't want to throw any more money at fixing it...nor to I want to trash it.
Basically I want to keep it as a spare or let one of the kids have it .
thx
In my opinion, best way to go would be to install a stable ROM. Preferably the ROM that your camera still worked with. Also you could try 3rd party camera apps or barcode apps for instance, that use the camera function.
Good luck.
((( I've tried several roms not from Jellytime to IcecoldSandwich to the old Gingerbread revolution and nothing works. Also wiped the SD card too in case something from the past was causing a hiccup.
So I'm concluding this is hardware related, just wonder what could it be if I only just put a brand new lense module in.....
EDIT : i've followed this vid from start to end and can't see where I when wrong. The camera bit is after 4.40mins

I have fixed a lot of inspires and it is possible to put camera in the wrong way...not that you did but its possible-there is a small space/ 'slot' that needs to face away from speaker, it points to where the black wire threads the plastic speaker/camera cover. Another thought if you had main boards apart is they are not fully seated under the mylar now...and lastly maybe that the camera mainboard section is no good....
Nope no luck with anything here. Camera is correctlt seated and the mainboards never got separated..
Everything else worked eg Wifi , GPS , sound and camera flash torch.
Presently have it bits again.
One thought.....at the edge of the battery cover there are two contacts which mate with the top half main board. What should these contacts trigger ?
Hi there mates
I believe I have faulty speakers on my nexus as I don't hear anything from top speakers. Anyway can I confirm its not a software issue ? I got it shipped so sending back and forth will take two months via a friend to America. I am currently not in the UK to claim from Asus on global warranty. (Kazakhstan)
What can I do ?
Also suggest me a software that I can use to check it like taking control over both speakers or turn one off and on.
I am currently on Stock and not getting time to wipe datas and go in safe mod and check thoroughly due to my exams.
I even opened my nexus but could not find any wires or extra wax on chipboard. However, I didn't try changing the speakers (I forgot)
And I don't intend to open it again as I want to claim it via warranty.
Any help or advice ?

To be completely honest with you good sir. It is likely a fault speaker. You can try flashing other Roms if you are rooted, and along with trying a factory reset.

It wasnot a faulty speaker as I checked it but a faulty connection. Issue solved
Hi, I have Arc S for 8 Months and it was great until today, when i'm on the phone , people say that they can't hear me. and when i yell at them on the bottom of my phone,they can hardly hear me. i have tried the option to turn off noise suppression , my microphone still sounds quiet . i have also tried the phones hardware testing function and it still sounds the same.I have unlocked bootloader so its out of warranty.Is there anything i can do to regain my mics performance?
currently i am on Stock GB(latest).
I really need your help. Thanks
In the dialer enter:
*#*#7378423#*#*
Then appears a service menu where you can test (at least it says so) some if not all the equipment including both microphones.
I guess that if no problems shows you have to flash your rom again or test another and see if the issue its still there.
If your microphone is broken then you should take it to service $
Sorry if i cant be of more help
it seems secondary mic is ok but main mic is not. now how can i fix it?
I still have this problem and i don't know what to do! which part of the phone to replace? please help...
Obviously, if microphone fails in every method, it is the main microphone, which you have to replace.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with aftermarket parts or their prices.
