Not FFC (front facing camera), NFC from SDCard (Near Field Communications; i.e. QuickPass, pass phone near terminal at store for payment).

Ah... thank you for the clarification! I was trying to imagine how that would work...

IIRC, the FM Tuner IS in the CDMA phones, but the HSPL or whatever has 0 trace of its init... (as per the last INFORMED post int he "official" thread for it -and nue's input)

also, heres why not just get an evo or epic... $10 a month more.. that simple.. I have to use an Airave and WiFi as it is for Voice/Data at home/work/school, screw off if im going to give you $10 more a month for something I already cant use...

bite my fat ass

I tried to place the HD2 camera in the Touch Pro2 and it fits. The only problem is enabling the camera to work in the TP2.

Ding!! It would be cool if someone with the mental horsepower could figure that out though!!

forget the homo comment im about to make, but, i felt a tingle when i read your name "JAmerican", even had a small trip down memory lane with my UX50, which would have been such a disappointment if not your work on the little bugger...

anyway, back to the topic, JAmerican: proving people wrong by going as far as possible since the beginning of time (aka camera fits fine, but needs HSPL/Radio/Whatever fix to activate and utilize it)

BRB, thanks hunting your posts

Kane, how's it going man. This is the same JAmerican from 1src lol. The UX was definitely before its time. I was quite disappointed that I couldn't make it last the whole day still. My battery mod eventually stopped working lol. I really like the Touch Pro 2 with its tilt-able screen. Unfortunately, the processor is weak and the camera is just okay.

If someone with some programming experience or with a HD2 could provide the exact driver to the camera, maybe I could get it to work by swapping the driver. The TP2 camera driver is called CIF.dll. If I could get the HD2's camera DLL, I could swap them out.

JAmerican, I got an HD2, but im running NANDroid on it :P its WM6.5 or Android, iOS is bleh, and WP7 is BLEEEEEHHHH...

Ill ask in the HD2 WM thread tho, but why the HD2 driver? they are totally different phones? what makes the HD2's driver the desired one? thought the GSM TP2 that already has the front facing camera would be the one you would want... color me confused!

I placed the HD2 camera in the Touch Pro2. The only way to get the camera to work (in my limited understanding) is the HD2 camera driver, since the camera is from the HD2. I doubt this is the only thing needed to get this to work but it is worth a try. When I disabled the Touch Pro2's camera driver while the Touch Pro2 camera was in the device, I got the same error message as the HD2 camera.

Understood?
