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.

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
I almost never use the camera mode on my Trion, but last night I wanted to take some shots at a party. When I tried to turn on the flash the icon was gone from the screen. I tried the function list it has flash on/off but when I hit "on" nothing happens. Like I said I almost never use the camera, but I know it use to work. The only thing I did recently was add Hermes Tweek from fit4cat. I have tried soft reset, but I realy don't want to hard reset just for a stupid flash. I'm not the most tech savey guy, so I live in fear of bricking my phone every time I rom update. I like the way its set up now, so if it has no flash so be it.... But the pictures I could have had of last night.....Well, photo ops like that don't happen every day!!!

You probably know this but in case not - as you don't use camera often, the flah icon will vanish if the camera has slipped off straight picture mode into the mode where it takes a series of pictures. i.e if you look top left corner you should see a logo of a camera not three symbols of pictures lying on top of one another. I find mine constantly slips off straightforward picture mode because the jog wheel gets moved without noticing. The jog wheel cycles through all the different camera and video modes.

Nope its in single shot normal camera mode, but thanks for the tip on the scroll weel I did not know that. I think one reason I don't use the camera more is I hate using the styles when I'm taking a picture, so if you have anymore hardware button tricks you want to share.

Don't need stylus for camera. Start camera with button on side of case.
Take pictures with the Dpad button ie one in centre between the two phone buttons.
Accept the piture by pressing it again and your ready for the next picture.
Exit camera by pressing OK hard key button.
Mike
You are ok how ur now mate.....the flash is useless if not u want to use it for torch....even pictures taken from 5-6 feet away dont get any diffrence with flash on and off at night....though 1-2 feet picture will give you a lot of change...all white washed brighten up dude!!!!! i did took atlist 200+ picture with my tytn but i cant remember a picture which were benifited from the using of flash....
anyone any comment??
Night photos
Yup, Sajib, you're right - day photos pretty good, night photos rubbish. Flash 80% useless except for certain angles when taking night photos in macro. I have nothing I would need to photograph in macro in the dark but there maybe many who have!?
Mike
Well I guess I will just have to find my keys with the light of the screen, as that seems to be the only thing it good for. Thanks for the tips. Who knows mabey the flash will come back when I get up the guts to flash the Cingular rom.

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.

camera issues
hi
switch from super fine to fine quality.......then soft reset....let us know..
bye
hey batmar333
i switched from super fine to fine and it seems like its working....hows the camera picture quality difference between the 2? i see most fine quality pictures are about 300kb while superfine reaches double that.
Hi all,
I've had my HD2 since around Christmas time and I love the device, but I've always had a problem with it's camera. This is not the usual "Pink cast" problem which I know is well documented, but rather a problem with the autofocus. Sometimes when I'm just playing with the camera it works fine, but most of the time (usually when I really want or need to photograph something) the camera cannot focus. It TRIES to focus, I can hear the lens moving and the image on the screen goes from very blurry, past the point of focus, back to blurry again and then the camera takes the photo blurry. It seems to be able to focus on my hand or anything else I hold very close to the lens, but anything else and 9 times out of 10 it will not focus properly. I've found that usually if I reboot the phone it will work for a while but then I've missed what I was trying to photograph in the first place. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem with their HD2?
Here's a few points I think are worth mentioning:
The handset's ROM is the standard one that came installed when it was new, I have never upgraded it or patched it (I know there was a patch for the camera but as far as I was aware this was to try to fix the pink cast problem, correct me if I'm wrong).
The problem occurs in all lighting conditions.
Touch focus is enabled but touching the screen results in the same problem, it tries to focus but fails. I feel that this is very likely to be a hardware problem but then on the other hand, why would restarting the phone make it better if it's a hardware fault?
Any help, input or shared experiences will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hey i have the same problem! i wanted to send my HD2 in to get it replaced but they said it was a software problem i dont really think so tho.
It would be really nice to see someone dev an app or a new rom that fixes this problem.
If i hear anything i will post what i know.
Hi,
excuse my poor english.....
I had the same problem with original italian ROM (1.66) until this summer.
On my device I have two applications that can increase the picture sharpness (BsB Tweaks, XTHackBeta2).
In these apps I enabled the "increase picture quality" but my pictures were always blurred, especially when there was plenty of sunlight.
I tryed to contact HTC Costumer service, they told me to have an hard reset but it did not solve the problem, also without no one applications installed on device.
It might seem stupid but, after that, I cleaned kindly but strongly the camera glass and I set the resolution camera to 1 Mb, making pictures and check how autofocus was working, then, step by step, I set to 5 Mb on camera configuration with Super fine quality pictures.
And I disabled any increasing picture quality on every apps (BsB, XT Hack)
It could be a miracle but I had never had the problem of autofocussing and pictures became very detailed and brighted
Same problem for me. Have a german 1.72 t-mob ROM.
Reducing the picture quality is not a solution for me.
In my case the problem occurs every time I try to make photos of any documents inside rooms, but with good light conditions. I need about 5-10 trials to make one well focussed photo. It's equal if I use autofocus or not.
If I go outside I can make very good photos from some natural objects, even when they are very close.
I enabled camera Superfine in BsB Tweaks.
I am trying to get my focus to utilize the shop savvy app, but it doesn't take as good of close ups as my TP2, is there a setting or anything I need to change. Thanks in advanced.
When you fire up the camera, go into settings. Click "AF Mode", and choose "Macro". That should do the trick.
The other thing is to experiment with the flash off, or shoot at a slight angle to minimize glare.
Unfortunately, as you probably know, the camera settings always revert back to the defaults every time you exit the camera. That's one of the common complaints we're all hoping will be fixed by a software update.
Brad.
thanks I will try that, trying at work no luck as of yet. Have you tried the app shopsavvy yet?
Shop Savvy and BarCode pics
I'm using it, and it usually takes a couple of tries before I get a good picture that's recognizable. Have not tried the Macro setting, but I have noticed that the focus beep must sound before I snap for the picture or else I get gobblygook.
Microsoft Tag app is garbage.. I tired for an hour to scan in 10 diffrent tags. Changing camera settings for AF mode, lighting, etc. etc. Even they admit they need to make it use the video mode to line up the tag to scan. Until they fix it, it's a mediocre app at best
Hold the camera button half way down - picture will focus on bar code - then depress and you should have proper result.

This along with turning the flash off works like a charm. I have been going around the house snapping all my bar code labels. It works surprisingly well. Thanks
I have scanned a few barcodes and it worked for me. The main things is to turn off the Flash, and use the half press on the camera to focus properly. Then once it beeps snap the picture. I never switch to Macro mode and the half press takes perfect closeups.
