Vertical lines from Camera - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

My Kaisers Camera image has 3 blue vertical lines in it. I just got this phone a few weeks ago, and I didn't see them when I got it. I got it off Ebay, so it is used. Otherwise, phones in great condition.
Is there a way to fix this, or I gotta get the camera replaced? I don't see anyone selling the Camera replacement part. Will T-Mobile or HTC fix it for free?

try changing the cooked roms
mine also had te same problem with shifu rom
now its good with other roms

I also had shifu rom and thought what you said. I switched over to the AthineOS, but it didn't go away. I didn't flash back to the original rom first on my phone. Could it be that I need to flash back to the original T-Mobile rom first and then to AthineOS?
Also, what rom are you using?

I installed the HTC orignal firmware, and then flashed TPCElite. I didn't fix it.
So, does this mean it's hardware?

I have a similar problem but with one red vertical line. I have A TPC v11 ROM loaded. I flashed to the stock rom but it still had the same problem. Any ideas?

Does anyone know where to purchase a rear camera assembly?

I noticed that with the T.i.R. v20 K rom, my Camera produces a strange horizontal fuzy line across my picture. It's not a thin line like the vertical ones, but a thick and white fuzzy bar going across the image. Problem is, it only appears when you look at the image after you're done using the camera.
Oddly, I switch over to a different radio rom 1.65.16.25, and now it doesn't happen. Instead I got one of my vertical lines to appear again. I had a 4th one appear a few months ago, but it had vanished. Now that I installed the 1.65.16.25 rom, it came back again.
By installing the 1.70.18.02 rom, the lines even changed color. Went from blue to red now. Some of the lines are broken, like parts are normal. Plus a 5th line is now added.
I'm nearly convinced that my camera isn't broken, but instead there's a problem with mixing the Radio+Roms. Especially since this is a T-mobile model, which isn't very popular here on the forums. I think by trying Android and using the camera will tell me if the Camera is physically broken.
Who else has this problem and has a T-Mobile Kaiser?

As was previously suggested it definitely sounds like you need to keep testing different radio versions for your phone if you are getting these lines etc. About 99% of the time it's just due to that. I've had a similar problem before and I fixed it by going through about 15 different radios. It took a while but got there in the end. Perseverance is the key. Luckily it doesn't take long to flash the radio each time. Failing that, maybe try a new rom? Good luck.

lol i got the same problem too, eventhough using original rom. I had vertical and horisontal line

Have the same problem with Tir 20K. used to have TPC V11 without problems (Same radio on both) will tr to change ROM/Radio and let you know.

Changed to JJBlaster3 Build 23518 ROM and the lines went away. Same when I had TPC V11. The problem was with the TIR Rom (or the Radio combination with it)

Yes I think JJ applied some sort of camera fix months ago in his roms. But maybe it wasn't for this exact problem.

I haven't tried that rom yet. I'll let you know if it fixed it for me.

Hi dukenukemx, is your TyTN II already fixed? Cos mine has the same problem. I've tried flashing around 5 cooked ROMs (always flashing stock ROM in between), and around 12+ radios. By the way I didn't notice if the lines were already there before I started flashing cooked ROMs. The first time I noticed it, there were 5 lines. Now I can see 7 lines. So looks like this can be software rather than hardware related. Hope someone can help me solve this problem.
Thanks everyone... Cheers...

hello need everyone help..
hello guys..
firt i wanna ask about camera also..i got kaiser 130,htc tytn 11 also but not sure what model at&t or tmobile or else..but my phone got front camera.

HardSPL?
Could be possible that HardSPL 3.28 to be linked with the vertical lines camera issue?
Coincidentally or not, my TyTN II started to suffer this s**t just after upgrade to 3.28.
For the records, I already tried many cooked ROMs, radios and the issue did not disappear.
Thanks.

Issue with erratic scroll wheel behavior

Hello all,
I'm just now debating on whether or not I need to exchange my new Tilt in for another one, or if this is just normal break-in behavior.
The scroll wheel is very erratic, sometimes when scrolling down it will go up instead and reversing the scrolling motion will cause it to freak out (go down once then scroll up like crazy). Also pressing the scroll wheel in to select/click on something often doesn't work forcing me to try several times to "click" on what I have selected.
The scrolling action is nowhere near as smooth as my Hermes, is anyone else having these issues?
******* separate but related issue *******
If it is indeed a hardware issue, does anyone know of a way to restore the bootloader back to AT&T's ... I flashed HardSPL and think I should probably put it back to stock.
Thanks,
Dave
same problem
i am having the same issue, wondering if i should go back to that nasty blue slut of a rom
FEATURES
SuperCID / Security Level=0
Does not check NBH signatures
Based on 1.50 MFG bootloader, rtask enabled

Model ID check only 4 chars
SPL overwrite DISABLED (to bypass, use SSPL-KAIS.exe)
I guess using the SSPL-KAIS.EXE and then flashing an AT&T om would solve that.

I was having the same problem with the AT&T ROM, but admittedly was not running it for very long before pof released HardSPL.
That's what makes me think it's hardware related.

Thanks Cactus,
I haven't checked the SSPL thread today, I saw that pof closed it last night because it was bricking a lot of phones. Thought he mentioned that he was going to try to get a working one out soon.
Thanks again for the reply.

SSPL v1 is just fine to flash an SPL or a splash screen, it will not work if you flash a full NBH containing OS becuase the NBH buffer is smaller on 0.92.
thanks pof!
Erratic scroll wheel persists across ROMs
Well I flashed back to AT&T ROM this morning and have been playing with it all day, and the erratic behavior is still there.
Given that only one other person complained here, I think it might be my device. Gonna go see my AT&T guy about an exchange.
Thanks for bearing with me.
sirsycho,
Let me know if you got a new device and it is better, please. I am having issues with having to click the scroll wheel really hard to get it to register at times. On another note, unlike all the other keys on my Tilt keyboard, the 's' key barely goes down when you press it and it doesn't click like all the otthers. This causes me to instinctively hit it multiple timessss so I get a lot of Ss in a row. Anyone else?
I have the same problem. It sometimes works and sometimes it dont.

My new device is on the FedEx truck for delivery today... I'm going to try it out with the standard AT&T ROM for a bit to get a good baseline and then flash to HTC's... I'll try to post an update tonight.
Thanks.

Not you're device. I had this issue prior to unlocking, then with the htc rom and again now with the att rom. To me, it looks either hardware issue, or something lower level is the OS that is common to all current roms. PErhaps the sensitivity of the wheel needs tweaking somehow.
I had issues with my scroll wheel as well. Coming from an 8525 I was like WTF did they do to this wheel? Sometimes the click wasn't registering, but either it's broken in, or I've adjusted my habits because it seems OK now, though not as solid feeling as the 8525 was. I'm sitting here with both the 8525 and Tilt in my hands and the wheel on the 8525 is definitely better.
I'm experiencing the same problem. The wheel feels scratchy when rotated, unlike my Hermes which was smooth. Usually wheels of this type are metal contacts against a circuit board, which use a binary gray code to register direction. I'm thinking its been designed poorly. Perhaps the Hermes unit was $.02 more money.
I wonder if we can replace it with a Hermes unit?
thanks sirsycho.. Update us once you get your new one.
Update with new Tilt and ATT ROM
ok... I'm still running the ATT ROM and still having the scroll wheel issues. Exactly the same things mentioned by others here... scrolling doesn't always register and when pressing in on the wheel I have to do it a couple times before it actually works.
On a side note, it seemed to be getting better on the older device before I switched, but as was mentioned above, that might just be me getting used to the substandard hardware (both of my Hermes work sooo much better).
I'll probably try this out through tomorrow before I flash the HTC ROM... I'll post again if anything improves.
Same scroll wheel problems for me (I have a Tilt). It sounds like maybe it improves as you break it in, so I'll give it a few more days before returning. Grrr....
Same problem here with my first Tilt. I returned the next day because this thread hadn't popped up yet so I thought it was just me and one defective unit. I subsequently got one that (knock on wood) has performed much better. Still notice a few jutters here and there, but the wheel doesn't feel as "scratchy" as mentioned before.
When I had my first Tilt, I noticed it much more when moving the wheel slowly. Here's hoping the problem doesn't start again because so far so good with my new one.
hello i'm using htc Tytn II
rom version : 1.81.707.0 WWE
rom date : 09/05/07
Radio version : 1.27.12.11
Protocol version : 22.45.88.07H

Tilt Camera issue: one full row of pixels (horizontal) stuck!

Hello,
I just noticed that I have a row of pixel stuck (alway yellow/orange) on my Tilt's camera. I didn't notice it at first (I got the phone since December last year).
Does anyone have the same problem?
Is there any way to fix it (it's little annoying). I guess it's hardware related...
Best regards,
eluth.
Yes I had it, I had a full orange horizontal line and a vertical grey line to go along with it, had to go for warranty since new roms, spls or radios couldn't fix it. they ended up giving me a new kaiser.
just remember that if you do plan to send it for warranty, to install original rom and radio, and most important, SPL, since they check

2 issues with Tilt keypad

I bought an ATT tilt quite a while ago. It is out of warranty now, and wouldn't you know it, something went wrong.
I'm currently using Dutty's Diamond ROM (with the keyboard fix installed), but the same happened before with the official ROM. While I text some keys don't work. I'll be typing away, just to look at the screen and see that I am missing a bunch of letters, rendering the message unreadable. I then have to go back and fill in all the blanks, and even then sometimes it takes several tries to get it to go. The same happens with the backspace key; sometimes it just doesn't work, other times it does (oddly enough, when it doesn't work normally, it usually lets me hit "function" and use it as the delete key).
My other concern is that there is a ton of lag while typing. It takes a while for letters to show up. Is that normal (for the Tilt, at least. I'm still wishing I had bought a BlackBerry)?
Yeah, I had similar troubles. I just upgraded my SPL and hopefully will be testing it further testing.
what SPL are you running?
I'm not entirely sure, it was a while ago that I flashed the ROM. How do I find out what it is? I tried Device Information, but it wasn't there.
you have to put it in Bootloader mode.
hold power and camera button while resetting with the stylus, then you'll come to the tricolor screen which will give you the SPL info.

I am having the same exact problem, 1 out of 5 times it works corectly so im thinking it has to be somekind of software, my problem started when I started using ROMeOS's rom's and I have tried different SPL's virsions.
I've heard that the keyboard/membrane may be the problem. Is that likely? If so, is there anywhere to buy them?

But they only have the outer keypad (the one right below the screen). Well, I hope this can be fixed with software, because the only place I saw that listed them showed them at $39.99 and they were out of stock.

I got the same SPL he has, I did a hard reset afterwards then downgraded back to 1.0 because I saw no improvement.

found this in another thread!
Success! If the SPL doesn't work and I can't convince AT&T to do it, I'll order one and put it in. How do you install it?
EDIT: I just installed skyfire, and noticed that while I was putting in my email and password it was smooth and nothing was skipped. I'm almost 100% certain this is a problem with WinMo itself
I have been having the same problem as you are describing, but I have noticed that it is with heavy use keys like T, H, E, R, S and for some reason V.
I was getting the feeling that it was a hardware problem rather than a software problem because, especially with the V, I have to apply a bit of pressure to get the button to work.
Unfortunately for me I bought mine off Ebay so the warranty is already void.
Incidentally mine started happening when I had the original network providers (T-Mobile) rom on it. I have since installed an original HTC rom and it hasnt made the slightest bit of difference.
So, how easy is it to open up the back of the Tytn II and replace the keyboard unit then?
Oh my god! Thank you for posting this. I swear I have always felt like posting this but always got too lazy. I thought it was only me that had this problem. It is so annoying typing away, and then having to spend another minute to retype the letters that didn't get inputed the first time. It is so frustrating and I thought it was my fault or something, or ROM, I believe its hardware related, but I am not going to spend another dime on this POS. I'm just not so patiently awaiting t-mobile to release their android device, and I will jump ship and never look back! Thanks for the post again, it has given me piece of mind.....ironically
I'm kind of wanting T-Mobile's Android phone, but seeing as how it's made by HTC, I'll wait for the first couple of user-reviews to come out. I bought the Tilt based on website reviews, but man, I was really misled. They said the camera was great, I can only get blurry unrecognizable images. They made no mention of the fact that when you switch to landscape it takes 3 seconds for all the graphics to appear.
I'm disappointed, and I think my next phone will be a plain vanilla flip phone.
Anywho, I'm updating the SPL now, I'll post if it makes any change.
Okay, I now have HardSPL 3.56 and there does not appear to be much of a change. There was some short lag at the beginning of the text string, but afterwards it caught up. I missed no letters this time. I cannot say how much of this was the placebo effect (i.e. it just felt faster), but perhaps if everyone with the issue tries we can have a reasonable answer.
ETA: I added a poll, so if you try this, fill in the poll!
disable word suggestion under Input setting.
i don't miss any characters with it disabled.
It was already disabled for me. I know I didn't change it, I think the ROM came that way.

Help! Dead WiFi and Bluetooth.

Hi folks,
Got my Diamond just over a month ago. WiFi and Bluetooth worked just fine, but I was stuck with a bloody awful T-Mobile ROM.
A week later, I flashed it with Swift's ROM, v6 or thereabouts, and it seemed to work fine. About a fortnight ago, I noticed that WiFi refused to turn on -- I'd click on it in the Comms Manager, it'd think about it for a (long) while, then revert to the "off" position.
The same happened when I tried to do it via Settings...Connections.
Then, Bluetooth started doing exactly the same thing. I've always got 'Beam' turned on, BTW.
No matter, I thought -- I'll be updating the ROM soon, anyway.
So, last week I flashed it with Dutty's 2.3a ROM. AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!
Any ideas? Seems that it's not going to be a ROM issue -- is there any definitive way to test whether it's a hardware thing, i.e. the BT/WiFi chip (or whatever) has melted?
Next step for me is to flash a standard 1.93 ROM. Not that I don't trust you, Dutty
If it's a hardware issue, and I've got to return the phone to T-Mobile, should I flash it back to a T-Mobile UK ROM? If so, any idea where I might find one?
Thanks in advance. To be honest, I'm missing my MDA Compact III
hey yeah i got the exact same trouble...just saw your thread and thought ooh maybee its been solved lol
when you flashed the nu ROM, did you change the name of your phone back to whatever it used to be called...my mate reckons he changed his from admin back to steve and it fixed it...doesnt work with mine though...i changed it back to old name but still the same
now the answer call button is not lighting up so im gonna have to put stock rom back on and call them friendly ppl at t-mobile
Well, at least I'm not alone! Hope you get yours sorted.
I thought I did change the name back...but I might have changed it to something else later (which is probably what caused to suddenly not work). I've tried all the names I might have used, and nothing.
Anyone know what the default T-Mobile UK device name is?
Lastly, can anyone tell me where I can download a stock T-Mobile ROM? If I've got to give the damn thing back for repair, I suppose I should at least make it look untampered with!
My apologies -- somehow, I missed this when I tried searching this lunchtime.

Nah, changing to stock T-Mob ROM didn't solve it.
Took it back to the shop, and they sent it off for repair, leaving me to use my battered old Compact III for a fortnight. Got it back last week, with a whole new motherboad (and a 1.93 ROM!), and it seems to work fine. Haven't managed to get a GPS fix yet, which is somewhat worrying, but I've not had time to check through the settings properly.
