and try looking if there is a file called camera.exe in windows\

I just started having this exact same problem when I flashed to jwright's ROM (which is really quite nice). Given the amount of time it takes for the camera to load up, I'm betting this is a permissions problem in the registry and it might be solved by the copy, rename, copy back solution that seems to work for the other things. Anybody know what registry folders have to do with the camera?
Hmmm, now that I think about it. I dropped my camera a few weeks ago and I don't know that I ever checked the camera afterwards. I'm wondering if I wrecked the camera. I just finished putting it back together and the camera looks fine physically but that means nothing really.
Time to poll the board for a new camera part.
Hello,
I don't use the camera on my Cingular 8525 that much. Not until recently did i realize the "Camera" application in "Programs" is gone. I realized it b/c at one time i accidentally hit the camera button and "Photos and Videos" showed up instead of the camera capture screen.
\Device\Windows\Camera.exe exists when viewing with File Explorer. However, launching it doesn't do anything.
I tried doing a Hard Reset but it didn't help. After the initialization, there is still no "Camera" in "Programs". I don't remember whehter i did any ROM upgrade on this phone, it's shown as:
Windows Mobile Version 5.0
OS 5.1.15 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
Can anybody tell me if this is the original ROM before HTC released the AT&T ROM?
Does anybody know what's going on?? If my camera is broken, there should still be a "Camera" applicaiton after a hard reset, right?? How can the "Camera" app disappear all of a sudden??
Thanks!
Did you figured it out?
I have the same problem. I tried a hard reset and still nothing. The camera is gone.
I haven't found a solution yet. I think i will take it to a Cingular store for repair since i bought it like 2 months ago. The tech support rep on the phone said they would send a replacement unit for me for free. I will find out the detail in the store.
BTW, daxman, may i ask whether you did any tist/hack/unlock to your 8525?
Well it seems this is an old problem and not Hermes / 8525 specific:

My experience
Last week I walked my roommates dog during a heavy rain with my Hermes in my raincoat pocket. After about 10 minutes, I realized that my raincoat was not waterproof! I had a good deal of water in my Hermes and dumped some out. My hangup button didn't work and my keyboard letters were are mixed up. I decided to take it apart and put a box fan (window fan) on it for about 2 hours. I put it back together and the keys were still mixed up. I put the fan on for another 2 hours and put it back together. My Hermes was fine!!! Boy did I have a close one. Everyone: Don't bring your Hermes in the rain!

Give it a couple weeks. It won't last long. Water damage can never be fixed for good. I hope I'm wrong, but your phone's probably toast.
I hope i've cheered you up a little!
I bought an ATT 8525 a month ago. Suddenly the camera stopped working.
I got the message "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the device".
I looked for this in the web and could not find much help... seems that Cingular may exchange the unit as solution...
Some said it may be a problem with the SD card (2gb from sandisk).
I tried soft reset, hard reset, re-installing ROM (the one from cingular USA) and nothing seemed to work.
I almost gave up when I found this
I followed the steps and not only got the camera to work but I got a very fast , stable and spanish!! version of windows mobile 6. And with a lot of available memory !
Thanks so much to Schap !
hope this would be useful for those having the camera issue!
fabian
ROM Version: Schap's 3.30c
ROM Date: 05/15/07
Radio: 1.41.00.10
Protocol: 32.74.7020.18H
False alarm.
The camera worked for an hour or two... then I started getting the same error.
I did not install anything during that time or change any configuration...
I guess it must be a hardware problem...
any ideas?
Good news!!... (again)
I just downloadedthis cab that says it corrects SC bad management.
After installing the cab... turning off/on the phone... the camera works!!
(I don't know for how long it will work... but at least it is alive! )
Good luck and please share your experience with this cab !!
fabian
doesnt matter since our cameras suck anyways
Im just mad cause I parted with my K800i lol
F****'n camera!
I was trying almost everything.... It's still not working at all. Camera just stoped working..soft reset..nothing...hard reset...nothing...I did what Fabian is writing in his posts...nothing...one thing has changed, phone found camera and I have icon of camera in Programs menu, but it still don't work. It don't give me any error raports or something, when I tap on the camera icon it's just don't do nothing so....mayby I should go to church and pray for a miracle because I don't have any other options.
Someone knows any program to find problem? To diagnose or something...
I am sure that problem is in software. I didn't drop phone or damaged him...
I have Sandisk mSD, mayby that is the source of the problem?
Hi,
I know it sounds weird, but I got the camera to work for 2 or 3 days by removing the battery for 5 minutes.
I really don't know which is the trigger that makes the camera stop working, but it seems that removing the battery "cleans" or releases something somewhere.
It's really annoying but at least I found a systematic way to make the camera return to life everytime it dies...
Try this... maybe works for you too...
fabian
...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Yo Fabian
That thing with taking off battery don't work on my 8525.
I was trying few combinations of that solution (without mSD cart, with cart in the phone). Life is hard. Nothing helps.
I just looking for software that can tell me what is wrong, but i can't find nothing. Something to check my hardware or something...
Mayby you have any idea how to get any info what to f*** is going on?

Hi
I really tried everything I could...
I've been looking for that tool you mention ... no luck..
Could not find a windows mobile event viewer neither...
I'm thinking on messing around with the c# sdk to debug the camera application ...
I can tell you now after a few days that removing the battery does not always work
My advise... if you're one of those lucky guys that can claim for the warranty... go for it and replace this f... phone!
fabian
Hi Fabian!
I don't have warranty for my phone, I bought it on eBay in USA, I had 7 days to turn it back if there were something wrong with that....camera stoped working after 9 days. Worst thing is that now I am in Poland and I even can't find any place where someone could repair that phone for me.
Thanks for wasting your time for me!
I'll not surrender and I will try to find solution!
Someone must know what to f**** is going on!
Few guys telling that problem could be with Sandisk mSD. And that could be true, because I remember that after I bought that card camera stoped working.
When I will have some more time I will hard reset PDA or something with taking off mSD from PDA before doing that. Mayby that is the solution. We will see...
Thanks one more time Fabian
C U at the next post!

Hey Folks
Thought i would share this with u ( sorry if mentioned before did do a search ).
On friday morning X1 was working sweet as per usual. Got to about lunch time (finished work early in the pub lol) and my X1 started playing up.
Was using my X1 as normal and received a txt flipped out the keyboard then all of a sudden my screen cut out. Put it back to portrait mode and pushed the power button twice and the screen came back. Tried again in landscape and the same thing happened screen just went.
So i thought i have got a couple of rom images on my sd card i will try flashing with a different rom. Anyway tried that same thing happened. Put the phone back in to bootloader and tested again same thing happened again so i knew then this was a hardware problem.
Anyway took it back to O2 store saturday morning and they sent it off for repair ( lets hope it comes back ok).
Just thought i would share my dissapointment.
Scott
P.S. this was 1 of the very 1st X1's that came out i got it in november....
Well just got my X1 back but my old 1 was non repairable so they gave me a brand new handset
What a bonus lol
Just thought i would share..
hey i just experienced the same problem....i have a question for you...i have flashed itje's touch-it 7 rom...should reflash the stock rom to take it for repair so that the guarantee is valid or just take it to the shop as it is??
Definately put the official ROM and Hard-SPL back on.
crabby
how can i do that?can you plz give me a link or sthg..
i'd say your problem was not software but hardware, maybe opening the keyboard unplugged somehow the wire that connects the screen to the phone. repair center should just have had to change that wire to fix the problem.
lucky you.
Just to let you all know i gave my phone back to o2 with a winmo 6.5 rom on it and nothing was said....
