Camera initialization error 36001.100.2

I have a xda II that gives the error, error 36001.100.2 when I start the camera app, Also the sound has gone. I can hear a hiss but no sound, so the speaker is working.
I have hard reset the xda no change. I am about to reinstall the rom. (wating on a new usb cable!)
Rom - 1.60.00wwe
Radio - 1.08.00
I did find one link that suggested taping the phone on the table!, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=7880&highlight=camera+36001) and yes I did try this... but still no luck, I would love to have a better understanding what the problem may be. I have dismantled the unit to check the spk connections which are fine.
Thanks for looking over this request for help.
Regards.
Troy

upgrade the camera module
I have reloaded the rom, still no good, however. I then removed the camera, module, I noticed some dark marks on 2 contacts.
Once I put the phone back together, the sound now works. So my guess is some water has shorted the camera out.
So my question now is, can I put a different camera from a newer phone in this one?
Hope to hear back some day?
Regards,
Troy

i doubt it they need to be compatible to work
because the protocol they communicate with need to be the same

Thanks for that Rudegar, I kind of wondered.
Do you have any idea if you can still get this kind of part still?
And if so where?
Thanks again for your comments.

sorry i know nothing of spareparts

Try to disable all programs, and try it again. Had these problems b4 and noticed some aftermarkets program crash with my XDA2 camera feature.

BIG camera problem

Hi,
I've a big camera problem with my new prophet (i-mate jamin).
This is a photo taken with the camera, you can notice the vertical line I can't kill :x
I've tried a different camera program (Coolcamera) but the result are still the same...
Do you have any suggestion before I trew it out of the window?!

up

Yikes!
It seems to me like your CMOS camera is faulty...
Time to make use of your warranty...
There seems to be not much you can do exept maybe try some other camera software just in case. (CoolCamera).
If it also displays the same line then it's a CMOS problem.
Good luck!
Rayan

Yesterday I've had a nice speaking with the i-mate online helpdesk. They made me upload the Rom, but with no result. Then they suggest me the same solution you've proposed...
I brought it back to the shop and they changed it without any problem with a new one..(strange indeed..it made me think it was not the first return they had...).
Now I've a new s200 with no camera problem. Hope the random phone freeze are solved too, but I'm not so optimistic...let's see after some deeper tests...
Thanks for answering me,

spv m3100 and Camera problems

Hallo to all!! I have a problem with the front (smaller) camera of my SPV M 3100: doesn't work!!! during a videocall I can receive the images but can't send the mine! I tried with Coolcamera to switch to the frontal camera, but the screen is "black"! I changed different ROM with no news! I think that is broken!!! is it possible that? should I change the camera? are there other driver for that? PLEASE help me!
thanks...

If it's under warranty have it checked/repaired. It may be faulty or the connector may be loose. The danger in replacing the camera yourself is that it may not be the camera but a circuit board fault. If you do not have a warranty and are technically minded I can give a link for changing out or checking connection of the front camera.
Mike

thanks Mike; can I have that link please? where can I buy a new cam?
many thanks

I don't know of a source for the camera off-hand but I'll do some checking.

I have the same problem on my HTC TyTN. Videocalls don't seem to be working anymore (they used to). I've never updated the ROM.
What's odd is that I can't use any of the 2 cameras for videocalls eventhough the main camera works when it comes to taking pictures or making videos.
(I haven't tested the sensor camera since there is no possibility to use it outside of videocalls).
I would think my problem was software related.....
Any idea to fix this?

So far as I'm aware you can only use front cam for video calls. Why you can't make video calls anymore could be troublesome to track down. I suppose a hard reset would be going too far?? (got any full backups? - should have and then these issues are easily solved)
It sounds like the main camera is working normally. The front camera can be used as a regular camera or video recorder and even a web cam. There are a few applications available from Ateksoft that can get these things working for you. The software is not free although they may still have trial versions available:
Coolcamera: http://www.ateksoft.com/
This will also let you know if there are problems with the front camera.
Mike

Thanks for the info!
I've just installed Webcamera trial version. It works with the main camera, however if I choose the front camera, nothings happens (the application seems to not be able to intialize the front camera as it will hang undefinitely...)
I guess my front camera isn't working properly... That sucks as I can't imagine being without my HTC TyTN if I was to send it for repairs (hopefully I don't make that many videocalls).

Mmm.. that's a pity. paersonally I never make video calls but I would be annoyed if I thought it would not work if and when I choose to. Have you tried a hard reset - I know that can be a big hassle if you don't keep full backups but still it would confirm (more or less!) whether it's a hardware fault or not.
Mike

like i sow in other topic this is common problem for many users (within me) , i expect it to be something else than hardware problem ...

same problem here!
Any solutions?

Any one in the same boat (Main Camera problem) ?

My Ameo,s main camera started by showing blurry and distorted image, then the camera does not start all together at time and the last issue is that when it finally started nothing was showing on the main camera as of now but the inner camera is working good... tweaked all settings, NO WAY! could this be as a result of a corrupt camera application in the extended rom or a manufacturer defect?
If it is an application problem, can someone please post the appliaction .cab file.
thanks

do you have the same problem? how do you know that?

The problem I have been having soince flashing to the newest WM6 Rom
is that ever now and then the picture taken is just a solid grey.. The Camera
app works as normal, but the resulting pic. is just all grey.. It seems to happen once every 10 or so pix, sometimes more.

I have this problem, only when I place it extremely close to the screen of my laptop to take pictures of the screen.

Mine happens at all times.. Inside, Outside, still subjects, moving subjects..
It happens at random times.. 10 pix will be good the 11th is screwed then the
next 7 work, then 1 bad.. etc.etc.

hi guys.. same here. this is my first dopod.. i've been using my old xda ii and the camera is at least quite decent.. i would have thought that with the high cpu speed, refresh rate would have at least be similar to something that a nokia phone can produce.. but in a indoor setting, the main camera is like so damn blur and in sloow motion... and the result is that if i am taking a picture of my kid, it is like an artistic picture.. i see nothing!!! haha.. but with a nokia phone, at least the picture is ok.. what is wrong!?!?!
how can we improve our picture taking or it is doom???? PLLEEAASSEE someone with any solutions, please help.. i tried to download cool camera but it does not work on the u1000.
i bought the phone also to capture my kid and post the pic online.. so i m not expecting super high quality shots.. but at least something decent.. and i mean decent like at least i can tell the features of my kid.. now i see blurness.. haha

Ok I have the same problem. Does anyone have a manual on how to open up the device. I think it isn't fitted corectly and want to see if i can fix it.

Hello,
This kind of problem ?
It's coming after WM6 french version upgrade...
Fred, waiting for a solution, and searching...

Its a bunch of different results... I have not had the prob. since upgrading to the latest HTC WWE ROM.

For the moment, my main camera does not work anymore...
2 hard reset and 2 installation of the french WM6 update, nothing better...
Is-it possible to make a copy of the WM5 and WM6
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera keys for me ?
Thanks a lot.
Fred.

Try the PK2 ROM, or the latest HTC ROM

I think like you. My 7500 will return to the store.
Fred.

I have the X7501 with the latest HTC USA ROM. I have only taken about 15 pictures and I have seen the green distorted image and one grey frame as well. My device was locked up so I soft-reset and I have not seen the problem since. I will post here if I have any more trouble. We may be onto something here.

The first problem with my device was the green distorted image. The next level was the pink noise (1 color missed), and finally my main camera did not work anymore. The softreset and hard reset did not help me.
You should be lucky!

just a quick rehash about the topic on camera quality indoors.
i have noticed that if i lower the brightness to -2, i get really smooth video on the screen when i am trying to take a picture indoors. now if only we can have this smooth video but increase the brightness...
i don't know if i am asking too much.. is this possible? is there someways we can do this by adjusting the HKEY?

[Q] HTC HD2 camera problem, weird color

I'm having a weird color at my HD2 camera.. I'll attach the photo of my HD2 taking picture at something.. does it hardware problem? I've upgraded it to newest official ROM, and even tried SD android build but no luck..
please, I need some help

Looks simular to colours i was getting with mine, I had a mainboard issue i think causing the screen problem like that. I had those colours all the time though. you played with the settings? colour saturation maybe?

nope.. it's just like that.. tried any other setting with no luck..
my friend said it was a camera module error.. and it costs 400K IDR (around USD 40) to fix and replace it..

I have the exact same issue. The color is distorted like that (too much contrast/saturation) no matter if I am in WinMo or Android. I have played around with the settings but cannot get it to look normal. Default settings look like that. And yes I have hard reset several times....
Anyone have any other ideas?

I too have this same issue...I've tried a hard reset and a ROM re-install but the problem still exists...does anyone have a resolution for this issue?

Yes send back to htc for repair.

Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

I have the exact same problem.. is it related to the google goggles app? Because my camera works fine before I tried the app.. (my device is htc desire hd but having the same issue)

It did turn out to be a faulty camera module which was fixed under HTC's 2 year warranty

same with me.. only in my case, it's not covered by warranty, and I fix it for around $50..

i have the same problem. and it was also fine at first and stopped working after google goggles. anyone find a solution besides sending it back?

I have same problem with my phone.Maybe to try another camera app. My phone is currently dissembled so I cant test.
Anyone find solution?

Oke I tested my camera more when m phone is assembled. The closest to normal photos I was getting when I was pressing screen in camera area. I always get same picture as first photo in this post. And when I switch to android Froyo 1.5 system I get pink color when run camera.
So people what do you suggest?
What part should I change?
Whole camera or just this square camera module?
Or any other solution...
Grateful!

Please if anyone know solution for this problem and gives me answer.
What replacement parts do I need? Should I change all camera related part or just this came module (looks like little cube) or maybe flex cable??
