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.

I have found a bunch of Sprint and Verizon PPC-6600/6601 xv6600
on ebay that have the camera but a damages screen or whatever for around $40 - $60 depending on the model plus shipping. Im going to be tearing mine apart at somepoint then i might not be craving a Universal anymore or an EXEC

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?
About a week ago I dropped my Blue Angel (also known as XDA III, Qtek 9090, etc) smartphone http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-blue-angel-en.shtml in the toilet. The water in the toilet covered it completely.
I pulled it out of the toilet, removed the battery, SD card and GSM SIM card, washed it a bit with cold water, and then dried it as well as I could using a hair dryer.
It didn't work.
But then, I let it dry for a couple of days. Now it works! I have tested all the functions, and it works.
The problem is, I don't want to use it anymore because it was in the toilet - damn. I'm not sure what to do with it.
Anyway, the fact that it works after this is remarkable. HTC (the company that makes the XDA, Qtek, i-mate, etc - the same devices under different brands) has done an excellent job.
This is in sharp contrast with HP. I had a HP PDA phone which simply stopped working, and another HP which I dropped and the screen broke.
My XDA III has dropped several times, been even in the toilet, and still works.
Well a thought would be to donate it to one of the guys that are building the BA Wm5 roms.
I am sure they would love to have a device that they can test as well as a device that they could use for themselves. As we all know they are doing all this work for free and for us as a comunity.
Its a thought else ebay
nice shXt.. oops sorry: my foul mouth!
Could always find ot how much it takes to break the Blue Angel?
Nah, bad suggestion. If you can strip the fone down and rebuild it... Get an Anti-Static mat and some IsoPropanol Alcohol and clean the fone! Then you can continue using the BA.[/quote]
Take it apart, clean (REALLY well) the outter layer and any layer that is of your concern, (mean while, slightly clean the electronics) and put it back. As long as the parts that are touching is 100% clean, it should be alright.
Or.. sell it to some un suspecting victim?
Obviously not the BOG standard blueangle then must be the Harpic model :lol: :lol: :lol:
i think d best way is for u to dismantle d phone completely den clean it as they said. but as an addition, provide us with pictures on how to do it. =) step by step procedure wud be really helpful for the community!
YIKES!
Boy, that's disgusting!! ... thank god there's no such thing as "Smello-phone" ... yet
sell it on ebay....if you want to make some money :idea:
give it to your boss or some other person you dislike as a gift

You have got one rare habbit of dropping phones in toilets
I recommend you start a website with reviews of phones/Pda's after they have been dropped in toilet.
p.s: Next time you drop a set in toilet, dont forgt to take a picture.

There is the possibility in kodi (fonts.xml) to make fonts bigger, also a selectable option the GUI, so why it's not get used by devs?
I have read it often here in forums, but devs don't care, why?
Please take in consideration that not every guy out there had perfect eyesight, and also time is not with us (we are getting older ðŸ˜)
Would love to finally see am stock skin with the best kodi team power in it and am option for Bigger Fonts.

Hi madjid,
Do you have any pics of the XDA Orbit in a white and in a black case ???
I seem to think it will look OK in a black case but am interested in what it looks like in white..
Cheers
Gaz
Yes I'd also like to know if it will be a perfect fit for the O2 XDA Orbit as it is a different shape to the Artemis and it's varients.
Really want one but need to make sure it will fit well!!!!
hi as per email n ebay
i need to see the black case both frotn and back with the phone inside or not...
also the pic you showed is that the white one or the grey one???
More Pictures and what it looks like in the orbit hope this helps
Hi to all , as requested I did put the pictures for you in the site , more of them for the orbit as a lot of you want to know if it fit it normal,to me I have both orbit and mda compact 3,its the same fitting since the button are the same,but again the choice is yours you decide.
here is the link for the pictures
http://www.sidiplus.co.uk/ipaq.htm
and this one when you happy to go ahead
http://www.sidiplus.co.uk/Hot Deal Bargains.htm
Also they very good if you use a car windscreen holder (cheap one under £10 they are magnetic holders from ebay),I personally use one and I put the metal bit under the case, you dont even have to stick it to your phone and its firm.
Its better than buying the original one and taking the silicone off each time you plug it in.
Any questions just ask.
Thanks to all
Hi Madjid, both links are the same mate. No pictures.

Thanks. I'll try the black then with the orbit. What about the holder that shows in the pictures. I couldn't find any on the site.
As for the magnetic bit...and the metal bit, I really didn't understand anything.
Nevermind about the picture of the holder, I did find the other post about it.

Hi, the holder that I was talking about is like one of those
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAGNETIC-SUCT...3QQihZ002QQcategoryZ75447QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
And the metal bit is the small bit you see in the picture,you just put the metal bit between the case and the pda,so there is no need to take the selicone case each time you use it in the car mount.
Hi, I'm from Portugal and I have an O2 Orbit and I need a new housing cover, but since the O2 isn't on sale in Portugal I was wondering if it is possible to use an HTC P3300 cover instead??? Anyone tried this already???
I might be able to help.
is the cover your after for the battery.. if so pm me and i can send you one out. its an old one i had from my old uk 02 Orbit. Im not sure if the p3300 will fit. maybe some one else can help you, but I dont mind sending it out ya,it's just sat here doing nothing, its is a little worn on the silver bits but better than nothing
mavisdavis - Actually I was thinking about the whole cover, battery front and back, but in fact the worst part is the battery cover... If you say you have a battery cover that you don't use and it isn't any trouble to you to send it to me, I'll sure be thankful!!! I'll pay for the ports of course... If so PM me, ok???
Nevertheless my question remains, is it possible to use a P3300 cover in a O2 Orbit???
Thanks in advance
Hugo Costa
The answer to your question is YES, the P3300 housing does fit the xda Orbit, I had one on mine, I still have it and can sell it to you ?
Again thank you very much for your reply, Think I'll be trying one then...
Jester01 - Also thank you very much for your offer but I think the postal costs will be too high to make it worth sending the cover from UK to Portugal...
Nevertheless PM me with your offer, we never know...

Can't imagine postage to be that much, as these are very light, I would accept £30.00 gbp for it, it is in very good condition and I will include 3 stili as they are different to the orbit one's.

How can you that? XDA Orbit have a locker for the Battery cover, and the p3300 doesnt have, so the extUSB is not in the same position

Sorry to say, but it's the same mother board, so check before you post !
And I've had a p3300 oem HTC housing on my orbit for the past few months, yes you are correct with the battery lock, but that's an addition 02 have added.
does it work vise-versa too? will a xda orbit housing fit with no-hassle on a p3300??

Couldn't say for definate, but logic states it should as I said I have an Orbit, and used a p3300 housing on it, so there is no reason why it shouldn't work the other way round.
You are just using the components inside and none of the phones original plastics, i.e. you only swap the motherboard, lcd, vibration motor, front earpiece and rear speaker.
You have to also use a different stilus, as they are shaped on the end different.
Hope this helps.

As far as I see from this picture and my Artemis in my hand cases seem to be fully exchangeable... Anyone knows for sure?

Jester01: Thank You pal! Now I would buy XDA's one, 'cause I like it better ^^
I tried fitting the p3300 housing (bought from ebay) on my o2 xda and i couldn't do it, i don't know how but it just wouldn't fit and i could see the housing was bulging unnaturally in various places. I got a replacement xda housing set which fit perfectly.
the version i bought from ebay didn't have the side buttons and there are various bits in the back plate - speaker, vibrate device etc which you need to remember to take out and put in the new one.
also, i seem to be getting very poor reception now, i don't know if this is because i've changed the rom (tried oops, touch 4.02 and rolled back the radio version) or perhaps I damaged the antenna somehow by changing the housing?? - anyone with experience?
thanks.

May I ask how much did you pay for that new housing?
For your question, I "guess" that because the housing doesn't fit perfectly, the antenna parts (a metal plate that stick with the body part of the housing) are not attached well to the connector of the phone board. So the signal would be bad.
I said "guess", because I have an experience like this before with my Siemens M55
Oh, one more question which I need to know a lot. Does the front plate (not the battery cover or antenna cover - which of course I knew it's made of plastic) made of Aluminum or plastic?

Thanks, I'll open it up and take a look at the connections - maybe the screws need a bit more tightening.
They both cost around £25 and it's all made of plastic - painted plastic although the XDA case is certainly better quality than the htc design.
I still have the HTC housing which is 'as new'. I'll sell it for £20 if anyone's interested.
How to open the XDA Orbit
Hi,
I would like to change the housing of my XDA Orbit too. But I only found disassembly instructions for HTC P3300 and this instructions did not work. I cant remove the plastic part which covers the gps, gsm and wlan antenna.
Can someone give me a hint or provide disassembly instructions.
Kind regards,

I did find some instructions by googling, I think the trick is to peel off the rear part by levering the stylus in it's port.
hi guys i would like o know that from where i can buy white housing for my imate jasjar ! as i have a the default casing i.e grey and would like to upgrade it to white casing ! i have googled up for this topic but couldn found any valuable refrences so if anyone has any idea as of from where i can purchase the casing which i have illustrated in the pic below with the illustration of my default casing as well to show wat i m switching from ?
There is no white housing for the uni
In response to your question
that white covering was not housing but instead, a protective cover for the imate JJ.

so from where i can get such covering for my jasjar ?? hmmm
White housing for JasJar?
The nearest you will get is the Vodafone V1640 version of the device which is silver-coloured and looks great. You can search on ebay - I recall seeing one such housing listed. I first bought a JasJar but hated the keyboard because I could hardly read the red characters on the dark brown background. (I actually shopped for and got a silver-coloured keyboard from ebay, and got PocketPCTechs in California to replace the JasJar keyboard.)
hey man ! someone earlier mentioned that this si not a housing but a protecting covering ! so tell me man how m gonna buy the stuff over ebay as they sell the whole fone as one n not housing apart i presume as i looked for it i couldn find anything with the keyword ! so pls guide me from where u brought the housing and if its ebay ! do let me know wat keyword u searched in for! ? ? ?

I think it's a silicone cover. Although i would much prefer a crystal case, had one with my Jam and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Thats no cover. Thats a full proper housing. Even the keypad will have different LED colour just to let you know. The housing you can search on ebay or google. I think T-Mobile has white/silverish housing. Look around you may find something.
