Camera and Album are MISSING!

Very strange thing happened to my QTEK 2020:
I had installed the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack the 'Bluetooth.cab' floating around and I was not pleased with it nor did I truly need it and tried uninstalling and NO GOOD. Hard Reset and I in turn started from scratch with reinstalls. Here is my problem:
Upon the Hard reset there is no longer a camera.exe nor album.exe in the \windows directory - and the button of course is not assigned to the Camera because it IS NOT THERE!
This is a HARD reset peeps! It is inherent in the ROM 1.60.00WWE, no? How is this possible? Did this villainous bluetooth.cab do this? I have tried again hard resetting to see if there was anything and EVERY time there is no Camera nor Album installed!
I have installed the Camera/Album 2.5 which came from HTC inherent in the 1.72 ROM and it works great until I soft reset and then it locks the device so there is not a solution there.
Very strange indeed, any comments or remedies?
- Thanks

i've had the same problem with at times a hardreset would not load my extented rom programs another hardreset or opening the extented rom manualy and running the cab files solves it

Looks like part of the extROM was not installed.
Check the config.txt if its still complete. If not: repair it.
Check is the cabs are still in the extrom. If not: didnt you forgot to lock the extrom when you hard-reset the device? You have to get new cabs then.
I think the old versions are lying around somewhere.
OR: Upgrade to 1.72.00! Good occasion now.

Thanks
Thanks for the help... I didnt even know all of the possibilities of unlocking the ROM and seeing what is in there!!! This little machine is COOL!!
I suppose backing up the External ROM is 100% important now that I know it is there!!!
Thanks again for all of the help.
I installed the ExtROM unlocker and re-installed the camera 1.5 cab that was there, rebooted and tried out the camera and it is giving me the same problems as the 2.5 version of the camera did... I will leave it alone for the time being, I didnt really use the camera that much any way

tried out the camera and it is giving me the same problems as the 2.5 version of the camera did

what problem ?

I dont know what happened, but I replaced the older version of the Camera CAB with the 2.5 and changed the config file and then locked the ExtRom then hard reset and the camera works fine as it should...
Before ithe device was locking up - just a black screen when the camera was called... not any more.
Again, thanks for all of the help! This forum is amazing!

Camera doesnt work anymore:(

Hi
Yesterday my camera function doesnt work anymore. when I push the camera butten a message appears with "Camera is geen geldige Pocket PC-toepassing" ( transelated: Camera isn't a valid Pocket PC-application.)
It just doenst work :S
I also triend to run the camera.exe from /windows but then I get thesame error.
Some days a go I jused pagepool 6mb? Could that be the problem??
I hope someone can help me with this.

What kind of phone do you have? maybe get someone with the same phone to send you their camera.exe?
what about trying to hard reset your phone? or install the RUU depending on what Rom you're running.

I have the HTC p4350
and i'm using the official dutch wm6 rom.
with batterystatus (overclock van 247mhz)
and a 6mb pagepool.
I hope someone can help me.

Nobody an idea???

Try Hard Reseting your phone... or try to find and run the RUU for your phone ... maybe your carrier has it available for download?

Camera issues - not available

I got my htc cruise about ten days ago. Camera was working fine.
But four days ago, i got the message the camera could not be initialized. I read on this forum that it sometimes helped to remove the battery for about 15 minutes. So that's what i did. And guess what, it worked for about 1 day
Then i kept getting the message the camera couldn't be initialized. Removing the battery didn't help anymore.
Then i hoped a hard-reset would do the thrick. Windows reinstalled and everything went fine. But now the camera icon is missing from "Programs". I tried to start it by going to the photo album and pressing the camera icon. Nothing happened. Then i use file explorer to go to the exe file. I found the camera.exe file, i tapped it but nothing happens.
Anybody have a solution?

Return it asap and get a new one

Camera issue
Hello,
I got this problem 5 days ago too... Very strange! Tried most of the procedures said here in the forum and none worked. The weirdest thing is that the camera just stopped working from one day to another, i clearly remember of not installing anything during those days.
I am very pissed about this issue! My problem is bigger: I bought it at UK while travelling and currently I live in Brazil (no support center around here).
Do you guys really think that its a hardware problem? How can that be if some other people already said here in the forum that a few days or weeks later, the camera went back on?
Anyone else can help us with this issue?
Regards

Try that one, worked everytime the issue happened for me:

Thats quite strange! My Storage Card is 40% free...
My problem is bigger now... After 2 weeks of "could not initialize" issue, my camera simply doesnt start anymore... I tried to lauch the application directly from the camera.exe but it doesn´t work either...
Don´t know what else to do...

radio rom upgrade?
did you upgrade your radio rom to 1.64.08.21 ?
if your answer is "yes" you should downgrade to Murata radio rom (1.58.21.23) ..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..

No. I use the original Radio ROM (1.58.21.23).
I dont wanna try to change the ROM yet in case I need to send it to service.
I tried to install the Nadavi New HTC Camera and didn´t help in any way. But I noticed that, after uninstalling this patch, the camera exe files went back to the old versions. I tried to uninstall them (the original ones) or delete them in the File Explorer, even in safe mode, and windows mobile wouldnt let me.
Kenhas, looks like Im in the same point as you (exe is not working either). Did you happen to make yours work?
Any other soul could help us in here? (btw thanks for the help given by everybody!)

have you tried to delete the /DCIM directory from your storage card and soft reset ?
if your exe is broken you probably need to hard reset.

I formatted my storage card (8 gb) and soft reset... no deal
My exe is broken now. Do you really think the hard reset now is going to fix it? Before I had the "unable to initialize device", now I don´t have anything
I installed both Microsoft Portrait and Coolcamera to try the camera, they get quite the same error.. something like "failed to get camera"...

I don't know if those tools share the same camera dlls, but if that is the case, a hard reset might fix things, otherwise, it means it is a hardware failure, and you will need to send your phone back to service.
FYI, when I faced camera issues, I installed the NADAVI WITH FIX cab for Kaiser , and that version only made the camera tool work again (although for me the rear camera was not working due to the storage card issue)
Maybe try installing that one first before hard resetting

it disabled the keys great when device locked, however since installing i cant pair up or find the bluetooth headset... gone totally nutz
not the headset as tried on other device working perfectly, its the alteration, and this is the only thing thats been altered...

Camera doesn't works: missing files?

Hi,
I installed an italian ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642812&highlight=pureness).
IMHO it's the best ROM for HD (quick, stable, clean).
But, the camera doesn't works. If I tap the icon in Program group I have the error "Digital Sign mismatch" or "Missing files". I am sure that the cooker missed some necessary files. I looked into Windows directory and I found the "camera.exe" files. I read this: http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/WindowsCE/microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder/2007-10/msg00709.html about a similar problem and I discovered that some registry keys are missing with this ROM.
Could someone help me to avoid this problem? Can I install some files for the camera (e.g. drivers or system files)? Is there any software able to identify the problem I have?
Please, help me!! I dont' want to remove this ROM!!!!
Thanks very much
Alex
