Siemens SX66 with Camera

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 think I have found someone that can get these sx66 cameras and the backplate with the hole. I have one of each ordered (45$ with shipping from UK.) Once I have tried it out I will post the info so others can buy them.

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.

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?

Replacement screws, lcd, speakers, covers, KB, buttons, LINK

First I am not associated with this seller, so I have no pony in this fight.
But I have seen a great number of request on the board for the screws, speakers, etc. I found this old link from my Yorch cooked rom days with SX-56 and extra ram upgrades, I can't vouch for them so YMMV.
They also seem to have a replacement for the touchscreen for $149

Does anyone know of a place that I can find a BLACK bezel (cover)? I see them in Europe, but all I have over here in the USA is the dorky-boring Sprint silver.
Thanks!

Price of BA with broken screen?

I have a Blue Angel about 1 and a half years old but the screen broke.
I want to sell it on ebay.
What can I ask for it?
It has 2 original (Qtek) batteries, desktop cradle, car holder, usb cable (for charging) and 3 new original (Qtek) stylus.

Lio,
The replacement screen costs currently around €250 in Holland and I didn't find much cheaper repairs. There are Qtek 9090 going on sale everywhere at €300 or more.
Check for yourself what you could be asking.
Let me know what you think.

To be honest, I dont have a clue to which price I should ask. Therefore I put it on ebay and the highest bideer gets it. The bidding starts at €20,00.

What's the going rate for 2nd user BA in UK

After finally moving from BA to Charmer Can anyone tell me what you can expect for a 2nd hand (excellent condition) BA in the UK. With extra battery & leather case. Just needing a ballpark figure. So that i don't undersell. Thanks JD76

I just paid £125 for a used BA with extra battery and 3 stylii
Got it in Ebay and it works fine

Thanks Realyweely much appreciated. Thought no one would ever answer. The forums are getting rather large and respondents are getting thinner on the ground. Thanks again. JD76.

I paid a few months ago $175 (US) to get a imate PDA2k with the Piel Fremel case and an extended battery.

touchscreen XDAIIs and XDAIII - the same ? what about this ebay offer ?

hello,
there is a cheap offer for XDAIIs touchscreens on ebay.
i have a XDAIII - not a XDAIIs - i have a PB20B1 (board id 5) - not a PH20B.
does somebody know, if this touchscreen would work on my device ?
thank you!

xda 3 and 2s are the same model.
it´s just the provider name.
(the "real" name is HTC BlueAngel)
in germany its called xda 3 and in usa and england it is called 2s.
but thera are 2 different display types for the Blueangel !
watch the wiki

hello,
i readed the wiki: ok IIs and III should both be board ID 5 - and so they should both have the sony display.
but: the seller says for IIs and for PDA2K ! pda2K would be board ID 6 - so it's not the sony display ?
i don't get it ? does he not know, what he's talking about - or are the displays different - but the touchscreen the same ?
do you know ?
thank you very much.

that should help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD

hello,
actually the wiki does not really answer my question.
i only want to buy the touchscreen-digitizer (only the glass and the digitizer-foil) - not the whole LCD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201516276
Since the sellers at ebay can't tell me, if their touchscreen is for the toppology-LCD (i assume, cause i think in USA might me more toppologys than sonys ??) or for sony-LCD i want to make sure to buy the right thing.
so, there are 2 different LCDs - but do they maybe have the same touchscreen-digitizer (glass and foil) ? if so, i can buy it without doubt.
thank you!

are you german ?
(because you have a xda 3 that is only sell in germany)

hello,
i bought the XDAIII used - from a german guy.

Both touch screens are the same, the difference is in the connector to the back of the lcd, one has wide spacings , the other thinner, the one posted in your ebay link is the thinner one. the only way to tell what screen you need is to look inside. Also the thinner screen has two holes either side the tracks, the wider spaced tracked one has one hole in the centre of the tracks.

Gary

hello,
sorry for the late reply:
i already looked inside my ba - a while ago. i also looked at the wiki. so i'm pretty sure i have the sony LCD.
so, does this touchscreen from ebay fit ?
thank you very much.

I've the same question...

I got lcd with 'wide' tape and just bought a replacement digitizer with 'thin' tape.
I think I'll manage to solder them together.
Question is..
Will it work? If I've done it properly, will it work? (i'm kinda smart with soldering iron xd)
