AT&T tilt camera fix?

Whats the lastest way to fix the camera and video camera on this phone. The picture is like very choppy and unclear. I saw another tilt camera and it does the same thing. Any solutions.
Bonus Question Whats a ROM?
Don't laugh too hard. I'm just a freshman at this.

what ROM are you using? I have no problems at all with my camera on my Tilt.

I guess the Att rom. i havn't really changed that much on my phone just added some apps.

Read sticky threads at the top about flashing HardSPL to your device, then you can choose a ROM to reflash.
ROM is like... mmm like package: OS + lots of different software.
I'd recommend Dutty's v4 ROM for Tilt.
ALso, make sure that you understand the risks of flashing. This may void your warranty with AT&T (not like they really give one, though..) or even brick your device (make it totaly useless) it you're not doing it right.
Read, read, read. It's fun stuff, really.

Do i lose my info on my phone and all my apps and settings when I flash?
Got a link for Dutty's v4 ROM

Go read some more stuff on flashing as well as the camera (drivers, etc)
You seem to be seeking basic knowledge which is available around here by just searching.

Previous poster is right - go read up on it. It's a commitment you want to be ready for. Or you gonna flash Dutty's v4, see "TV static" screen, freak out and pass out. Or something.
But yes, you will lose everything. So sync up with outlook and make backups (hint: use PIM backup (google it)).
Software-wise - you can get everything here. If you have software you paid for, then save install packages someone in safe place (NOT ON PHONE) along with serial #s. You can reinstall after reflash.

very first hit on Google
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory
Read-only memory (usually known by its acronym, ROM) is a class of storage media used in computers and other electronic devices. Because data stored in ROM cannot be modified (at least not very quickly or easily), it is mainly used to distribute firmware (software that is very closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely to require frequent updates).
Google is very powerful tool, just need to use it often.....

Just a note (and a plug), Best Buy's service plan will cover you bricking your phone
Note: I work for Best Buy Mobile (Partnership of Best Buy & Carphone Warehouse), and my statement might be biased.. however, AT&T doesn't insure it, and I wouldn't trust them on manufacturer warranties for the tilt. However, I know there are other options available for protecting your device

Never actually had to use my warranty service, but square trade guarantees 5 day turnaround or they pay you your purchase price and warrant is I think 10% of your purchase price. I believe that it includes user stupidity; but, I can't be sure on that one.
Please hook up the camera fix. I tested out the nokia 5800 expressmusic vid at night in a parking lot in my car and man it was like a damn camcorder. Hook it up mah friend.
know of a good rom for my mom? Something simple? User friendly...? pm me ok.

This thread still poses NO solution to tilt camera problem
There are several things out there that I have tried and both of them caused me to not see anything before a picture was taken. In other words the viewer was black until I took a picture and it actually took the picture but I could not see anything in the viewer before pushing the button. Neither of the cab files I found solved this problem. After removing the programs, my camera was back to the sorry state it was in when it came out of the box. It's hard to believe that a PDA with as much going for it as the Tilt, has such a crumby camera. SOMEBODY FIND A WAY TO FIX THIS PLEASE

WIFI hardware problem

Hello!
I've got a problem with my xperias wifi. when i turn on the wifi my phone crashes, not all time,but most of them. (about 70-80%) Only the battery replacement helps.
I tried many different roms,but nothing helped.
Is somebody have any idea what to do?

hi
just guessing as I'm no technician, but as you tried it with different roms I suspect you answered yourself: might be a hardware issue
if it also didn't work on stock rom it might be a good idea to contact SE service, hope you are still in warrranty period...

shame wifi monster would have been easier...
I would expect the following: first year warranty provided by (responsibility of) reseller (provider), second year by producer

I managed to brake my phone :((( help

I installed the odin one click from the CAPTIVATE .... and now the phone only flashes AT&T LOGO the usb is not working any more, not charging not doing anything, and i can't get it by any means in download mode or other mode again. The only thing it will do is flash AT&T logo.... can i get it fixed. or i will have to put it for sale as parts ? thanks hope someone can give me a good advice and help me repair it ...

It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.

Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.

reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

phone is from Orange France and i have tried flashing it with several firmware, and nothing has solved the problem, i opened the phone and there no is water/moisture or anything
wondering what could be wrong, any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated

Hi,
your answer is here!. Seems to be a hardware short circuit.
maybe putting your open device close to a warm source to dry it will give you 15.031969% to save it...
Else, I fear you need Samsung service..

I don't mean to be rude but why did you open a thread here on XDA about this?
This site is for mobile phone/tablet development.
You have bought a faulty device, it happens.
You need to take it back for a replacement, simple.
I hope you get it sorted! It's never nice buying something and it not working properly.

i believe it got something to do with calibration or something related to software
as phone was flashed earlier and it might be something to do with flashing
i was thinking of writing NV calibration data from another phone to see if that may help, but thought of getting more ideas first.
WBR

Oh right, fair enough then. I thought it was brand new and you'd just taken it out of the box.

as good as new, only a few days used, sending it back would be costly
so i thought to get some ideas if it could be calibration data or something, as i have already flashed it but it didn't yield any result..

wipe data/factory... later on, the os freezes and require reset

I got a note7000 offer at a bargain price; half the price of the original... the idea is that the guy is selling it as fault emmc bug. He told me that wiping the data - factory reset caused the problem.
The phone works from times to times he said, is still partially functional, thus he still asks for the price of SII for it, which he wants to replace with.
My question is:
Is the emmc bug permanent? I want to buy it cause is such a awesome screen\phone and i cant afford one from retails at full price. My plan is to downgrade from ics to gb with safe kernels and hope it wont brick with odin as unsafe as it is already.

Don't buy it. He is selling a bricked device for half the price (I wouldn't pay that for a used but fully functional right now).
And you will always get problems with it in many different situations.

Its risky for me, but also rewarding. If you'd seen this particular phone, is almost brand new. He told me it wasn't used much and that is visible on the over all aspect. And god, i love amoled screens, even if pentile is infamous.
Could you describe what you mean by being bricked? -> the phone boots and installs stuffs, but from time to times has the flaw of getting stuck -> require reset.
Its on the way
ps. I trust that if i had this stuff happen to me, coming from a samsung product, i would be able to get it fixed somehow.

Congrats: you just bought a bricked device. I guess he used the repartition workaround which reduces available capacity.
He didn't do the only real fix: replace motherboard in Samsung Service Center.
If you read here more before buying you would understand my "do not buy". Now you will learn later.
And he didn't lie to you - he told everything about the condition.
If you want to learn now while waiting for it, start to read about bricked devices here, about hg42's repartition thread etc. You might need it

Well, wish me luck. I'm gonna follow the steps from around the topics here.
I just hope i can watch movies, and pictures, and browse the mail... then he can get stuck but just a little.
I got an ace on my sleeves though. I can test it before i buy it... any advices, maybe doesn't even have the bug, how i notice
that ?

I'm gonna try these steps on the clip from rootgalaxynote:
youtube - hDtTNDVcTF4
If it doesn't work, i'm screwed cause i do not have a replace phone atm.

Following those steps will only mean that you won't brick it again... and anyway that is really outdated... When you've had enough of constant freezes then you will probably want to try a slim rom such as Slim Bean 4.2.2

I just purchased a n7000 from a guy on eBay for $350.00. It has the Ultimate rom installed in the screenshots. This means that it should be fine, right? I should receive it this week sometime. I bricked my i9100 back when the brick bug first appeared so I'm kind of worried about this.

Thanks for replies. I dunno what to expect. It is worrying, but probably i'll return it back cause is not worth the money if you put it this way "unusable".
He said to me to add a new sd card,,, i guess here is where he was just too honest. This confirms that there is actually a permanent damage to the hardware, especially the hefty 16 GB of memory.

My friend has the bug and he did the workaround , The phone freezes when you turn on bluetooth or wifi , And also the internal memory is low , but good luck with your's btw "restarting it from time to time" seems suspicious though

Apparently that was a slight misleading. On itself doesn't restart. I got the phone right now. Is so huge even an elephant could use it.
Only freezes when i try write something thru usb cable. The ram is smaller, only 5 gb.

Really? Then it might be double-bricked and double "workarounded". Each time lossing about 3 GB...
When I close my eyes I see the grinning of this a--h-le who sold it for real money.

That sucks...
Now I want to see if is only a memory problem of the storage sd, or is as well as for the last 'bastion' of my phone, 2GB rom... cause then i can install slimbean like i've been adviced here.

First off, i'm in a bit of trouble right now. As you can guess, i can do something about it, cause beyond this is the morality of getting into a mess on someone's fault. Now that has to be decided, as long as is not mine.
This guy told me it is partially usable, add a card, try fix it yourself. At 190$ i expect to be better then a S1 or nexus s which might easly outmatch this phone. If is a matter of pride. Just keep it to yourself.
Either i give this guy a bad review as is a site as amazon, where user feedback is noted, or i return it back myself. Is not the holly grail, is just a phone.
He told me is not permanent damage.
LE: I got some good news and bad new:
I cannot add videos, it simply doesn't write. It doesn't freeze my phone anymore, this time i'm using samsung kies. Good news, i can write photos and songs.
I'm half way there in trusting this guy that with a sd card, the phone will work just okay in installing stuff.
On the other hand, i dunno if the internal storage is damaged; can i install jelly bean? or change the culprit kernel? or should i live with it as it is.

the seller has a no return policy. so ur actually screwed. you think the seller is a noob and that he didnt know about the fix. sometimes being too wise makes u feel and idiot in the end.

Even if I do not always follow qazis messages I do understand him very well - because Oxford english isn't a prerequisite here.
Members here can't help you: Why? Because you bought a brick device even when warned about it.

How was his random ranting relevant to this topic?
So what do you think... flashing a new kernel and formating the sdcard do any good?
I may have a different term for bricking: When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.
As far as i see, this device has stuff installed on it, and i can't figure how he did it.
recommend me a memory error checking app if u know, please!

Flash a safe kernel and flash a new ROM.. Try that and if all works good we´ll continue..
