[Q] NFC with screen off - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've bought a c5302 and quite interested in using nfc
Does anyone know how to use nfc when screen off ?

You need a modded NFC apk to get that to work
No one has done it yet but you can expect someone to do that in some days or weeks

[Q] Near Field Communication?

Hello,
I'm about to buy SGN but as i read , there in no NFC in EU models (its like an "option")
So..., I live in EU (Poland), using GSM/etc systems.
Is there ANY option to buy anywhere SGN that will work in my country with working NFC??
Eg. Does AT&T ones will work here? (i know its LTE, but its only data transfer?)
Or should I serach anywhere else?
Greest ! Thx for any answer
No there is no easy solution to get NFC on the note. And no, the ATT version wont be very useable in poland.
Errr.. damn it =/
I'ts verry sad info...
Naither any other world version? =]
Why do you need NFC? it's not like it is prevalent in Poland?

[Q] Question about Front Facing Camera Replacement

Hello everyone, so my Droid 3 Front Facing Camera fails to start, it gives me Unable to Initialize error and crashes instantly. So i decided to replace it (Noting im not living inside the USA, nor do i have my waranty documents) well... Anyhow, i showed my phone to Phone Repair guys here at Lithuania, and they told me that my phone have VGA front facing camera, its cheap and easy to replace, and blah blah, they can do it.... But my question is... WILl IT WORK ? Since Roms use Camera drivers, shouldnt camera be from manufacter, or it will fail to work ? Couse, like i said, Roms use camera drivers and i think they are specific for camera models and stuff? What do you guys think ? I'm afraid they will put cheap chinese camera into my phone, and my poor droid 3, wont support it...
Itll work, phone parts can be replaced lol. Including cameras

Yeah, but arent drivers in kernel or ROM are coded specially for specific type and model of cameras? Like Drivers in kernel for camera that was manufactered by Samsung and if i replace the same specs camera from LG phone, i dont think it will work, couse they have different schemes architecture, or am i mistaken ? To sorten this out, CAMERA DRIVER FOR SAMSUNG PHONE CAMERA, Wont handle LG's phone camera. Am i right ?
Yea your right, thats why you gotta order the part for your phone. You cant order any old camera ofcourse.

I doubt the conector of any other camera fits on the D3 motherboard. Normally these phones have hardware designed specially for them, sharing hardware with only a few others.
Rocking with my M3 and XDA app
It wont. the people repairing will order the correct one, or you cans imply google droid3 front camera replacement, you will find a fixya tutorial and places to order online.

nfc is on but unresponsive

As the title says nfc is on but dont seem to work? I have tried another phone to check to see if it was my ONE and the pair passed data fine.
Please if any one has an idea on what im doing wrong im willing to listen?
Reading the reviews linked here i see a lot of bias against this handset/ shame really as most of them either havent used a ONE or are talking out their arse.
The phone experience with the exception of this issue has had only one other issue the back button does not respond i have read about it here and wait to see what happens?
The overall experience has been very positive in my opinion?
No problems here. Nfc is around camera lens. So this is the area you have to bring closer to other phones Nfc or Nfc tag or ...

Yes. Also, the NFC works only when the device is on and unlocked.

Tried everything, thanks for the responses, but seems like after a factory reset all is well?
Mine doesn't work either. When I turn on my NFC, I don't even see that "N" logo on my menu bar like in this pic
Mine don't show that icon either but the NFC works now?
I have found that the NFC on the HTC one is not as responsive as other phones, (probably due to metal back).
I have found that this causes issues with certain NFC devices do not work.
so far it have found it works ok when using nfc to use android beam to another device BUT it is unable to read certain NFC devices, in Hong Kong we have Octopus nfc cards for public transport,they even released an app so you can check the balance on the card. I have tested and Xperia Z and Nexus 4 can read my card ok, but the HTC One cannot read the card, i can feel the small vibrations on the htc which shows it starts to detect the card but never manages to properly read it.

Replacing the camera on the i9000 possible ?

Hi,
I was thinking of replacing the camera on my Galaxy S i9000 because it is ... lets say just bad . Is it maybe possible to replace the original camera from the i9000 with any other smartephone camera, maybe the one from the S2 or something similar ? Would this work from a software side ? Are the connecters interchangable ? Somebody with experience can tell me if this would work remotely in any way ?

Could you tell me why ? software or hardware wise?
There just isn't another camera that has the same connections to be an easy swap, then there's camera firmware, and getting the phone to speak to a camera not made for it.
It would be possible for the kind of guy who actually designs the electronics of these phones, not a job for you or I.
Basically, if you want a better camera then you have to buy a better phone. A shame I know because the i9000 is a great little phone.

I9000 compatible with I9001?
Hi. I have a different question. I want to replace my mother's I9001 camera lens with a new one because it's not working properly.
But searching the web I found that the I9000 camera replace is cheaper and more common than the I9001's. So, will the I9000 camera be compatible with my I9001? For the pictures I saw they are slightly different, but some sites sell them as for i9000/i9001.
No :thumbdown:
I bought 9000 camera in phone service and replaced my self, when you turn phone on and open camera app it writes

In my hunt for a better camera I just replaced my camera lens with a new one from ebay ( about 5 €) and I'm very happy with the results.
I think it's clear wich picture is from before and which one from after the swap

[Q] Motorola Atrix HD Camera failed to initialize

I have looked and looked on this forum for a potential solution to this problem but to no avail, The only thing i found was for the Atrix 4G so i thought i would start my own thread.
The problem is my Atrix HD MB886 rear camera will not initilize, whenever i click on on the camera app, it stays black for a little while the says Camera failed to initialize.
I was a little curios so i have installed a L.E.D app and a ''Mirror'' app on the phone, the L.E.D works just fine and my front facing camera works just fine, however the rear one still has this problem, i bought the phone second hand from ebay and it had this problem, when i first got the phone it was not rooted, bootloader locks stock ROM etc, i have since rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader and currently running AOSB 4.4 Kitkat custom ROM.
If anyone can shed some light on this situation or try to help that would be great....
Many thanks!
PHONE SPECS
MODEL NUMBER - MB886
ANDROID VERSION - 4.4.2
BASEBAND VERSION - MB886_BP_100740.071.65.04P
If you need any more information please ask
Have you done a full wipe or format of everything, manually fastbooted back to stock (not using RSD; doesn't matter what stock), and tried it then? If yes, then you might be crap outta luck and have a bad camera module. If it makes you feel any better, my headphone jack went out about a week after I unlocked my bootloader.....but that's what a Defy is for .
You're not misssing that much, the camera quality ranges from medicore to suck....maybe good with perfect lighting and nothing moving all that much....it does the job, but barley good enough.
Yeah I have done all that, when I bought the phone it was completely as if you had bought it direct from a store brand new no modifications etc, since then I have done the formats and wipes etc etc, what I'm now wondering is how easy it would be to change the camera module, is it soldered at all? Or just unclick the ribbons and swap it out, the main reason for the camera is I just moved to the USA and like to take pictures to send back to my family in England, it would be great if I could get this working some how

Not to worry too much however I have installed camera MX and that allows me to take photographs from my front camera quality ain't a big issue it would be nice to get the rear camera working though

Never paid attention to the camera when looking at teardowns. IIRC, it can be done, just might be a pita.
