We are looking to purchase a number of SPV M2000 and C500 phones from Orange.
Due to the nature of our business we can not take camera phones on Customer's sites.
Orange are not being very helpful on this so I am investigating how we can disable the camera function on these phones.
I have already considered supergluing something over the lens or even a drop of superglue on the lens.
Any other suggestions ?
The blue angel is also sold with a non camera version.
T-mobile has it that I know. As for orange, no idea.
If anybody from your company got one of those hacked phones and like you found this site they would most likely also be able to fix what ever fix that made on the software or hardware to prevent them from using the camera.
I was thinking about even deleting the phone software off them ?
Hum, like I said, you found this site so why should the others not?
Its on our FTP site even with the new Album version (camrea software that is).
BTW May be deleting the phone software is not such a good idea just in case you want to use it as a phone (since you want to stop others from using it as a camera). But I think I got what you meant (grin)
wanna trade ?
I have a Siemens SX66 (blue angel) without a camera
(just kidding - its my only mobile and I have no idea who you are )
Yeah, the Siemens SX66 from Cingular here in the USA does not have the camera. Many of us are disappointed in its absence. You could find a way to get the Siemens units from the US.
Why in the world buy a Blue Angel to disable the Camera and THE phone?????
The Qwerty and Wifi can't be that much worth.
Anyway, like MDAIIIUser says, no matter what you disable or no matter what lock you put on it, it's quite simple to undo and get a fully working BA, well except for the glue on the lens that is :wink:
Hello to All
I have seen many people search for the answer to the question I have, does our MDA CIII have WLAN or not?
There is an extensive thread on that topic, with no real conclusion, so i thought i open a new one, and throw some new ideas and questions into the room.
First of all:
I own a Arte110 i was one of the first ones to get it in Austria, i bought it right when it hit T-mobile stores on the 02.11, back then the Austrian webpage advertised it has WLAN, the German webpage never claimed that, so when i was standing in the store i asked once more, and the guy said no WLAN, in that moment i didnt think much, since the device was very nice, and there was no alternative for me, since my other phones was stollen a couple of days before, and i was in a hurry to get a new mobile.
Well now i do miss WLAN, and i am trying everything to get to it
I checked the dutch page yesterday, it still says WLAN, can it be that T-mobile doesnt supply some of its biggest markets (German, Austria) without WLAN, but it does so in the Dutch market. It doesnt even make sense to buy two different pieces of HArdware when they order in masses.
SO how come we dont get WLAN and they do! And seemingly some dutch friends have confirmed their devices have WLAN. I am planing to confront T-mobile Austria on that and see what they say, did any one do that already?
Further i tried talking up HTC, but they didnt help much, told me to go talk to t-mobile.
Now a question to the technical guys around, being an Electronic Engineer myself, i am very interested in playing around to get this WLAN mystery solved, so i am in the search of following things:
a. Any one take one of these things appart?
b. Any way to get our hands on infromation concearing wireing, chipsets, and the inside of the device? I found this italian website which had a block diagram of the new HTC 4000-something model, it would be nice to have something like that for our MDA, would solve many questions.
c. What type of USB does our device have, is it client only or does it also support host? if so we would work out an external solution! That would be great if it would support host function, specialy for all other kind of applications.
d. Any idea where we could get such info from
Thanks to all
And dont give up until we have a prove that the Hardware for WLAN is missing in our devices!
The extensive thread you refer to has most of the answers to your questions, I think, on the penultimate page. The outfit who unlocked the phone said it wasn't an Artemis model (the United Kingdom MDAIII enquired about and similar to the German/Austrian I believe) but a Hero and it didn't have wireless lan.
They also said the Artemis and Hero looked cosmetically identical but were different inside...
I must admit that I find it strange that the Dutch went for the Artemis model and the others the Hero. You would have thought that the entire European operation would have made a bulk purchase.
well i have still no information on the USB?

Hehe, hello
I'm from austria too and did already much research but gave it up. There is some kind of proof that wifi is not built in. Great to see some support from austria . I suggest you ment that thread didn't you?
greets from vienna
Hi
Nice to see your replies. But i still havent seen any answer to my most important question:
IS THE USB ON THE MDAC III a full USB OR ONLY CLIENT? i have not seen an answer in any of the forums, thanks

Afaik it's client only... though I'm not completely sure.
We should really find out, cuz if its a full functioning USB, one could try getting a WLAN to work on it externally.
I must say i still have hopes of having the hardware inside...these dutch people, why do they get WLAN? i dont understand. They should help us out with a ROM...it would be redicoulus if T-mobile only supplied them with WLAN (no offense i like holland, but still this gets me mad)
I will contact T-mobile tomorrow and have a word with them!
If the USB is only a client, how is hte antenna recognized via USB?
I don't think, that the antenna has to be recognized as a "Device"... It is just a cable, that is connected to the right Pins in the USB Connector. A normal FM Radio surely does not recognize the Antenna as a device, almost any cable can do the job if connected to the Antenne Input of the Radio....At least i'd say
ok explanation taken...i was hoping for a bit more hightec...but that goes too...(and is absolutly right).
So no one around her believes that the USB could also be a host?
The Omap850 can handle usb on-the-go. See here: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...lateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679

We can also see that wlan a/b/g is on chip but wth is wiLink?! or mWLAN.
greets
THIS IS great, thanks...I was looking for a block diagramm...now lets look what the chip can do...
Thanks
Ok i figured what the WiLink is, and its sounds really good for us, since it seems to be part of the MDAC III architecture:
"WiLink™ 5.0 platform is the industry's first solution that integrates mobile WLAN (mWLAN), Bluetooth® and FM stereo audio all in a space-saving platform for mobile phones."
Sounds like the functionality of our MDAC III, only that Austria/German/UK doesnt have the GOD DAMN WLAN activated (i hate you dutch guys... )
SO now following question, if the WLAN is intergrated on the OMAP, it cannot be removed by HW...but only be deactivated via firmware. The question is now, does the OMAP need some co-processor to make use of WLAN, or only an antenna, now if it needs an antenna, then it could well be that Tmobile removed this Antenna!
I will do further technical research on this
it does seem to miss integrated WLAN: "54-Mbps WLAN interface" i think when they talk of interfaces, the only mean it supports some WLAN chip to work with it...
Hmm, you can see that that WiLink/mWLAN stuff is not on chip. It's some external circuit which possibly does not exist on our mdac3. Though... proove me wrong and we are best friends

Ahm, yes... I was 2 minutes too late... I btw already installed the wifi-driver from a dutch mdac3 and it didn't work. It is still possible that i did something wrong when doing this.
We need a Dutch ROM
I wanted to join the HTC club and look at new software or original Roms for my XDA Orbit.
But the SZ number is not accepted by the system. Does anyone know why, or how I can reg. my phone with HTC?
Is there a big difference in the P3300 and the orbit?
I can Use the Original Roms right?
Thanks

Pretty much just the case I think.
Only non branded devices can be regged at HTC.
I don't think it matters. you will not find anything over there. the only thing on line is the driver for remote control.
branded devices like orbit or MDA will get their updates through their providers.
Hi,
I have lines all over my screen (no bootloader mode ) which change colour, also after a hard reset, but i can receive gsm signal, but I see nothing on my screen.
Maybe i will reflash it this evening, but I think it will be game over...
Think the internal display is broke (the glass is perfectly ok), i did nothing special and kept it in the leather cover in my pocket...
Anyone has a tip for a new htc phone, not too expensive with gps & wifi ?
I saw you have cheap second hands p3300's for only €100, but it would be my third one then, so i'd rather like another type this time.
Anyone suggests another newer HTC with GPS+WIFI+PHONE that costs -€200?
It may be a second hand also, as long as three above options are possible.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Innovator
just my opinion, some faster device with bigger ram/rom capacity than artemis, maybe second hand dimond or tytn 2, You can probably find under 200 €
I recommend the HTC Polaris
Htc hd2 leo

under 200€, I don't believe, if You find somewhere please let me know!
HD Touch Pro 2
pppppppffff just missed a htc hd touch pro 2 for only €300!!!
First I was interested in the diamond 2, but don't like the metal+black front.
going to pay something more €375 for the hd touch pro with keyboard !!!
I checked out out the videos and felt in love, cannot help it
For my first p3300 I also paid €550 back in the days, so why not this professional one.
It's not so thick if you check the comparison pictures and videos :
http://pocketnow.com/review/htc-touch-pro2
HD Touch is too big...
well, if that is the sum you are wanting to invest...I advise you to go get yourself the iphone 3gs! sells around 550€ unlocked new...
i have ditched microsoft for good...and I am seriously impressed starting from my macbook pro 13,3" to my phone...
been an alltime windows freak...but seeing how easy cumputing can be with macintosh i will never return!
greetz
if you spend a lot of money now i personally would go for the HTC HD2
As the HD2 will support windows mobile 7. The artemis thanks to xda has had a beautifull life, and i think that the HD2 with the capacitive display can serve you for just as long.
Personally i'm soon buying an omnia i900 to replace my p3300 for the simple reason that i can get it for 75 euros used, and can still sell my p3300 for nearly the same. For the money the htc diamond is really cheap as well.

Is The Polaris your talking about also know as Touch Cruise and XDA_Orbit 2 ?
Good Day,
I am a US Teacher teaching abroad in Rome and a noob to the android scene. I bought the HTC Desire on eBay from a seller in China who advertised a rooted and unbranded HTC Desire. When I received the phone it came with an Italian operating system and Windows Mobile 6.
The problem is i do not speak Italian yet and would like to root and install another rom. Being new to this i have looked up countless forum articles on this but i can't even get the phone to boot in hboot turning on phone and holding down back button does nothing nor does holding down the - volume button and power when starting phone and i can't find the usb debegging option either. I have included as much about the phone as i could find and would greatly appreciate any help with this. Trust me i have spent 2 weeks trying to find a fix on my own.
HTC DESIRE INFO:
Model No. V1.0.1-B7
Platform: Pocket PC
IMEI 850850690163042
ROM C03.021.13 ITA
ROM DATE 2010-11-19
Radio Version 4-16-2010 20:16:30
Protocol Version BASE_W09.20_P4
CPU SnapDragon QSD8250
thank you so much for your time.
You have a clone, Desire is Android not WM
A little search bought up this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619643&page=96
Where their phones have similar information may be worth a post on there.
Well you did not buy a desire but a clone. Don't think that it will ever see the light of android, nor any useful input on how to root it.

Yes, however couldn't the current rom (C03.021.13 ITA) run Windows Mobile?
Also, Thanks for the link.
How do you know it is a clone?
Your info screen should display something along the lines of this:
BRAVO PVT1 SHP 2-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

Your handset is a clone and therefore unlikely to be rooted and able to install the usual Android OS. If you weren't aware it was a clone, I'd suggest you contact Paypal ASAP for a refund.
PM me a copy of the Ebay link and I'll have a look for you to see if it is clearly listed as a clone. You can't post the link on the forum as eBay links are not allowed.
Or another workaround...NEVER EVER buy stuff from china/chinese ppl sellin stuff on eBay.
Just buy it from ppl selling in US/Canada/Britain or buy it from a retailer near you.
Or even better, skip buying electronics on eBay completely because more often than not those products have no warranty, unless the seller is from EU and has regulations which oblige them to deliver the receipt along with it. And this goes twice for China.
