Camera Problem

Well I just got my JasJar and when I press the camera the app comes up and then nothing but a black screen. Is there any software update out there? The camera that is on the screen works but not the one on the back.
Jr...

I believe that you able to do an exchange...most probably your camera hardware is faulty.

having the same problem with camera. Screeen is black but video cam still works
.. any suggestions?

dont point it to the ground? ensure you are in a vary bright place! make sure you dont have the cover over it!!! adjust the settings by clicking on the tools on the bottom right and adjust ambience and settings, really get creative and perform your own manual adjustments. switch the flash on?
the camera is **** and dark, so dont expect miracles.
alternatively, send it back. it should work.

Do what Simon suggested but if that doesn't help, change the settings in Camera to Auto incase its on something else. You mentioned that video cam works but camera mode doesn't. What about the other modes like Burst, Sport etc etc?
If nothing helps, try a soft-reset. If that doesn't help, try a hard-reset. If that too doesn't help, then a ROM re-install is in order. Now, if that too doesn't help, then i'm sorry but you will need to send it to the service centre.

Camera Problem

I have a problem with my IMate JASJAM. The camera app sometime behave weird and shows scrambled. After several reboots, it goes to normal. This has happened several times. I have tried hard reseting but so far no luck. The issues remains.
I am using the latest ROM version for IMATE JASJAM.
Any suggestions?

I have the T-Mobile varioII for only a few days.
The camera screen is displaying a line in the same position of the line just above the battery icon in the today screen. This seems to affect the use of the ok icon and button, in that it won't consistently save the settings. The line does disappear, but as soon as I use any buttons, it comes back.
Soft reset sometimes removes it until it reappears.
Do you have anything similar to this, or anyone comment please?

sorry, can't help there but here's my own camera problem:
After having to send back 3 tytns with screen alignment issues my 4th handset's screen works perfectly however on all 4 units the camera is crashing frequently, or sometimes just taking a blank, grey picture. I obviously want my camera set to best quality: 2m, superfine. When i take a pic where the light is good (mainly outside on a nice day) the tytn just switches to the today screen. If i try to access the camera app I get a "camera in use" error message, if i go to the running apps screen the camera app is not there to close, only solution is a soft reset, take a pic and it happens again.
The only workaround I have found is to set the camera to L, fine quality but i'm not happy with this - why have a 2mp camera that only works when it is dumbed down?
Surely i'm not the only one with this problem as all 4 sets had the same issue.
I'm loathe to send this one back in case the 5th set has the screen issue.

I faced the issue that my camera screen show scramble. And when I take the picture, the phone returns to the today screen, and when I tried to start the camera again, it gives me an error that the camera is already in use.

My problem of the camera having a line on the screen may not be the screen.
The line is appearing in the captured image. I didn't realise this until I rotated the image. So, it may be the camera/lens at fault.

I had the identical camera fault as described in the original post. Soft resets cleared the screen but the fault re-appeared after activating the camera. I had to pester the network into replacing my 1 mth old voda version. I have to admint the fault only started after I dropped the handset though.

lol well might as well add mine, my zoom doesnt work! Just will not shift from 1x

Schooleydoo, you know there is no zoom at 2 mp. It only works at lower resolutions and in increasing amounts the lower you set it..

Any solutions??
Hi,
Has any of you found the solution to the original problem? My phone's camera shows scrambled screen continuously and doesn't get back to normal.
Any ideas??
Regards,
Saurabh

I have a scrambled screen too. It started when i was too low with memory, after 3rd warning phone turned off itself 3 times - it never happened before, some of the programms crashed for good, and camera shows camera menu but picture that camera sees is scrambled, so are the pictures taken. When I tried to take a video it showed that I am missing some codecs. After Flashing I can record videos and make pictures, but I get only this results...
:/ .... anybody have an idea?
I don't know what exactly happened... I flashed phone with the same WM6 and installed Webcamera plus v1.051, and TCPMP v 0.72 RC and camera still wasn't working, then suddenly it started to work a day after .. i don't know if it will help anybody, but.... i think that some codecs from those programs in some way overwrited phone codecs...but I am a new, so I may be wrong

Sounds like you may have a connection problem or may need a hard reset. There is a known issue with some where you get a blank image on the highest setting of 2mega pixels superfine. If you set yours to a lower setting and still have problems then we can rule that issue out.
You can also try downloading some of the Ateksoft coolcamera software to test the camera using alternative software.
