hi all
am looking for various upgrades for my BlueAngel:
brighter lcd that does not require viewing at an angle
better microphone (did read in another thread saying a nokia microphone transplant didnt do any to help)
custom designed faceplate
plastic/lighter faceplate
some may sound unrealistic and unnecessary i know..lol
but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
i think changing the microphone should be possible.
you can change the faceplate, too.
hi
thanks for the reply.
after some software/registry tweaking it seems the mic volume has improved some.
for faceplates..all i've seen are replacement ones rather than new ones with a different style...
o well

Hi cracks,
Just read somewhere in another thread that somebody was asking about the bad colors of WM6 and that it was much better under WM5.
But now it is even not possible with downgrading to WM5 to get the right settings back.
This is the same for me (S200 G4). All pictures and movies are looking bad just as you would have not enough colors anymore.
Any idea what it is or how to solve that?
Am I really the only one having this problem?
Is there perhaps a registry setting for adjusting that?
Thanks,
Boris
I would like to know the answer too
I also have the same problem. Anybody knows a solution?
My screen got fixed.
After resetting to WM5 I still had the problem. But after Hard resetting twice it's fixed. Boris03, Could you confirm this. I would like to upgrade again but not at the cost of busting my graphics, So I don't want to experiment again. Thanks
Problem back again
After a few minuts when I turned it on again, the problem was back. So I'm sorry for the wrong info, but it was fixed for a few miutes for sure.
are you guys talking about camera pictures & vidz ? if so, it's just that your device is overclocked while it shouldn't.... if not, describe your problem better so that someone can answer it... post screenshots... help yourself.
Screen shots
I am speaking of the windows screens actually. It is not noticable on all screens but ones with gradient shades show it and also where there are menu buttons. I took Lastnikita's advice and took screen shots.......... but on my PC the screens look perfect.
I'll try to explain what I see on my PPC. In terms of RGB, it looks like the blue has shifted from the rest of the colors a bit to the right. This is noticable in menu buttons where the left half looks pinkish while the blue overlaps the button boundary and sticks out the right. In gradient colors i.e. the contacts screen there is a blue column on the laft of the screen and a lot of pink around the middle. The effect looks like a low bitrate image. Maybe I can use a seperate camera to take a picture.
I have downgraded after using Touch X ROM and am now using 2.20.7.34 WWE ROM.
Thanks.
If you used a software screenshot, it would have taken an image of what was supposed to be shown. To me it sounds like a hardware fault rather than a driver related issue.
Yes. I just found this out and I was thinking the same thing. But the similarity of the problem looked strange. Maybe the problem is not the same either. Thanks.
Thanks for the advice. I just opened up my Neo and undid the ribon to the display then plugged the ribon back in. It's fixed. Thanks everybody.

Wow, very luckly, I have same problem. Can u guide in detail for me? What is the ribon? If have pics is better. Thanks!
I'd like to help. But are you willing to risk of opening up your PDA? I was desperate.
This will void your warranty.
I tried to write a description but it's too hard
The basic idea is to open up the back. 2 screws are visible under the battery cover the other two are under the Camera cover plate which is the only hard part to remove. It has catches on both sides near the bottom edges. If this is opened then you can see the other 2 screws. Once unscrewed you can take off the back panal. It also has some catches but they give in to a little pressure in the joining gap. I used my nails to liver it. The back has to be taken away carefully as the speaker is connected to this and you don't want to break the wire. Once this is open and you place the back cover beside the unit so the wire is not streached you can start working on the ribbon.
You'll see a copper ribbon just above the IR port connecting to the motherboard. It is locked with a clip. You can unlock the clip by ..................
I'm not sure you're interested anymore. . Let me know if you are.
It would be better with pictures or MSN maybe.
I don't know if this forum has a rule against giving out MSN IDs.
well, maybe I should bring my Neo to the store (still warranty more 6 months left ^-^). I only used PDA for more 1 month, so I don't know much about them. Concern to hardware maybe I can't do well as you ^-^.
Thank you very much for helping me!
I am from Vietnam, so my English is bad. I don't know the following is true or not? ^-^
God help you!
Bad colors since WM6
Hi all,
I cannot believe that this should be a cable problem. It was just since I was upgrading to WM6 and the downgrade is not solving the thing anymore.
It is just like you display a video or pictures with 16Mio Colors on a 16Color display. And before the same video and pictures looked brilliant.
On other thing is that e.g. the background pictures (theme) from Gullum are looking bad as well.
And also I can see the background colors flickering a little bit from time to time. Again this is since i upgraded the first time to WM6.
S200 G4, No overclocking.
Thanks,
Boris
The easy way to check out if its a cable problem is by taking screen shots. If they look good on the PC then chances are very high that it is a physical problem and just might be a cable problem. If they are the same on the PC as on the PPC then it obviously is not a similar problem to mine.
Thanks
I see something there, but no way to access it. Just curious if it's really there and if we might see some functionality for it in the future at some point.

what are you talking about? if you mean the clear light in the speaker on the front, its just and lcd light i havent seen it do anything yet
1. No, it does not have a front facing camera. On some GSM models, the front facing camera is in the upper right corner. See attached pic.
2. I believe the clear plastic bit you are referring to may be the light sensor that triggers the screen to blank when you hold the phone up to your ear during a call.
The versions of this phone that were manufactured for use in the United States will not have the forward facing VGA camera.
I would assume that the reason for this is that camera is marketed as a video conferencing camera not only for taking those lovely MYSPACE self portraits (you know who you are). Since it would have to maintain a video call, I beleive this would constitute streaming which I beleive all of the carriers are dead set against us doing unless we are payng for their services to do it.
Just my opinion.
Yeah, I kind of figured it out after playing with it for a while. I had seen specs that said the VzW TP had the camera. AAMOF, I believe one of the places I looked was on the Wiki:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1547&view=1 - From the Raphael Variants specs link.
So I thought I'd ask.
Wonder if anyone could provide some insight with a wee problem.
My HD2 (hidden away in an Otterbox) may have gotten a bit of a splash - nothing major.
However the ear piece speaker (that is to say your normal daily use speaker as opposed to the loud external speaker) is now sounding particularly quiet / "tinny"
I have volume turned up full as always, and without knowing the internal layout of the HD2 at all, It feels like the speaker is only half working (if that makes sense)
Can anyone suggest any potential remedial action?
Many thanks
TFC
try srs wow hd..hope it helps
Did you let your HD2 dry? Also, the speaker may be damaged. Try getting a new one through ebay, it's not that difficult to replace if you follow HTC's leaked disassembly-video.
after a bit of time the issue remedied itself. Count myself as a spot lucky in that respect.
Humblest thanks for advice however - Always apprecaitive of the knowledge that is freely shared on here - thanks again!
Was just wondering how much modification it would take to get an XZU shoehorned into one, as it's designed to a N5 I'm guessing some mod might be required.
If you don't know what it is:

yea but nah
So it really doesnt fit at all, ive been trying to make myself a custom headset that works and fits better but i think what I really need is longer focal lens length on the lenses, the screen size is so big that your eyes have trouble merging the images that close, would be great to hear if anyone else has had more success too.
Hello if there is anyone out there who can help I recently switched out my screen on my lgv30+ ls998 and for some reason my loud speaker doesn't work. I've ordered another one off ebay and that one didn't work either. Not sure what's going on. The pins look like they are touching the correct places.
I'm not sure how relevant it is, but when putting the ZTE Axon 7 back together I put in the speaker backwards (really hard to tell) and it (obviously) didn't work. Screw around with the orientation and see if things change?
The LG v30 has a contact pin situation with almost all of the hardware components including the speakers which makes it easy to put in and out. I just can't understand y the speaker isn't working out of all things. I tried to finesse the placement of the pins a little but still nothing. I just keep getting an extremely faint crackling noise from it

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I replaced the screen and frame on my LG V30 a couple of days ago and I am having the exact same problem.
