Re: The mighty n900 week 2014 (Day 7 of 7)
 

Thanks for the thread. Lately I was thinking to sell my one and only N900 and to buy xiaomi, coz the camera of the n900 stopped working. Now i have changed my mind, after reading all these posts. I wont sell it now, instead ill give it to the repair shop or nokia care for repairing. :)

btw, issue is the shutter, the sensor does not detect the movements of shutter. So after opening camera app, it says shutter is closed. Anyone has any ideas on this?

The tiny magnet that keeps in place the back stand, you lost it most likely: it is needed to allow sensing the shutter.. Or, the white spot on the inner side of the shutter window is dirty. Or it is the sensor that sees that white spot to be dirty or out of order.

Oh, thanks for the suggestion. i hv already cleaned the white spot of the sensor in the past, it didnt work. Can you post an image of d magnet? so i can look at the exact place where to put one again? coz new back cover is almost impossible to find here.

Look at the center of the area where the stand is allocated when closed. There's a tiny rectangle. That is the magnet.

I did not approach it nowhere near as scientifically. I saw a micro-USB charger and I bought it. It had never occurred to me that it might not be compatible: a micro-USB charger is a micro-USB charger, right? They are all standard (well, with the obvious exception of some companies who think they know better).

My experience shows me that it is true. Pretty much every charger I throw at my N900 is accepted fine, including the cheapest car cigarette lighter adapters.

If you really need to know, all my chargers are Samsung ETA0U10UBE. Here is a pic of the blighters for your pleasure:

It turns out I have three of them, all identical. Two from a charity shop, £1 each, and one in a box with a Samsung Android phone I tried once and put back in the box with the intention to sell it on eBay. The picture shows only the charity ones.

I checked my cover, but it has that magnet there. so due to frustration i scratched the white dot of the sensor with a screwdriver, and voila, camera started working with the back cover on. Thank you very much for your replies.

not overclocking anymore, i have installed profilesx extended profiles manager. It auto answers after a desired 6 seconds (tweakable) when editing or creating a new profile.Good fix for a slow system causing missed call. The n900 headphone with pickup button also works better than trying to touch the screen itself.
