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

Second Camera

Hi, my front camera doesn´t send any image, i probe whit various roms of wm6 and the last of wm5 of htc and the image is black, i probe coolcamera, and the display is black then when i select the front camera, any idea or solution?
Thanks
P.D. Excuse my english...

I`v had the same problem!
i cant even use the back camera for video calls.
taking normal pictures work just fine, it looks like the camera isn't initialized correctly.
help

my problem is just one step better than yours My front camera works and shows something, but i just can call it some thing! because it just cant be me It shows my picture but picture quality is very very low so you can not understand what is in the picture. Kinda like it needs some focus option...

Finally, my mobile operator change my device for a new, then... the second camera worked corretctly...
I´m a happy man (whit a new tytn)
Thanks!!!

HD2 Autofocus problems

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.

Poor focus in live focus mode - Can someone please see if you can replicate?

S10+ UK variant with the latest updates installed. I have an issue with the camera. If I open the camera and choose Live Focus, the default lens is the one with the single leaf on it, which is the lens that makes everything the biggest/closest etc. If I hold my hand or anything else out in front of me, the camera will not focus on my hand/object at all. If I wave it about, it will sometimes come into focus momentarily, but will not focus as you would expect, the image is also quite poor. If I then change lenses to the other available one, which is the one with two leaves on, that focuses perfectly and very quickly and is nice and sharp in the areas that I choose.
Samsung said to factory reset and I did and it did not fix it. They also said that Tracking AF setting should be enabled, but it is greyed out and there is no way to change it. I found a video on youtube on how to enable it, by reducing the resolution of video recording for the rear camera, but as I'd just factory reset, it was already on a low setting.
Also, all 3 lenses will focus as they should in auto and pro modes, just not live focus.
Could anyone please try this for me?
Open camera->Select Live Focus->Select the lens with the single leaf icon->Hold hand or other object about 12 inches/30cm away. Does it focus properly?
Also, with the camera still open->settings->Tracking AF <--is this greyed out?
Thanks, any help, much appreciated.

Same with me. Never noticed before as usually nor use live focus mode.

For me the 2x zoom camera(single leaf) has problems of focusing when I shoot a video. Try that also and see if you guys have the same problem

Thanks. Yes, mine is the same. I had mine set to 1920 @60fps and there's no option to change lenses, but after setting it to just FHD 1920x1080, the 3 lenses are available. The focus here, although not working as expected is better than it is using live focus.

I am using 4k 30fps, and for me sometimes the focus for the telephoto(x2) struggles to get perfect. Maybe is a software thing that will be corrected. Also checked it and the tracking AF is also greyed out for me.
