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.

I am having the samem problem. Is there anything I can download to correct this?
Nothing in the way of the screen.
I have not found a solution to the camera problem. There is nothing in the way of the lens. I have not taken the phone apart to see if maybe a cable is unplugged or such. I really do not think it would be that simple anyway. Once I buy my next phone I will try it out but for now I just wait to see if a good ROM might fix the problem.
In my jasjar cam goes almost fine, but only with 640x480. If configure largest not take pics :evil:
I need help from you TyTn professionals
I got a HTC TyTn with the Vodafone Portuguese Rom (Rom:1.18.260.2, Radio:1.16.00.00, Extended Rom:1.18.260.105)
I tried to make a video call but I was unsuccessful (on the top of the phone there is an U meaning it is a 3G covered area) I could not hear or see the other person neither my video fee
I download coolcamera and webcamera+ trial and was unsuccessful in activating the front camera (black screen only)...
could this be a ROM problem???? or am I doing something wrong????
thanks in advanced...
Yes
there might be some problem in your ROM definitly..
I suggest upgrade your ROM.
Front camera issue
I have the same problem with my front camera...just installed the newest WebCamera Plus, main camera and screen sharing work excellent! I still have an problem with the front camera, when the source is switched to front, it just sits and spins.
I contacted HTC and they say the only way to test it is to video call in 3G.
I did find the link to the video calling cabs and installed them after upgrading to WMXL 2.01. (the camera didn't work with WM5 either).
I'm in Chicago this weekend, unfortunately I don't know anyone I can call to test this with. (hint hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
I read through all the posts and WIKI and didn't see this problem resolved.
Suggestions are very welcome!
hardware problem
I also have the problem that the front camera on my tytn doesn't work.
I'v tested it with different kind of roms (not the xda live version though) but it never worked.
I guess it's a hardware problem.
A couple of weeks ago I did send it to htc repair center, but unfortunately they did not fix it. I didn't send it in again, because I dont want to loose my tytn that long (last time it took nearly 2 months before I got it back) and I really do not use video calling that much.
Ouch!
Well if I had to send mine in, I would have to get another one first!
I have flashed both Cingular and HTC ROMS (5 times) to see if that was an issue, buy no avail. There is no 3G where I live but I really want it to work...oh well, could be worse.
Cam
Mine too -
also not working showing only black screen in phone mode
-> camera apps are saying not able to initialize !!
Rom problem -> because initialisation error or hardware prob?
Who can help!
PS: Working on Black 3.0.1
I've had the exact same problem!!
tried many ROM versions and no solution...
I have the same prob.
Anyone can help me. i tried the coolcamera and it is black also.. any advise
Front Camera not working!!! In US?
I am not sure that the video calling feature is supported yet in the US... did anyone contact your provider... As far as I know, if you are not in a 3G area, videocalling won't work... And you still need for that feature to be supported by your wireless carrier...
Just my two cents... If you do get it to work, PM me and we can use it together... Since AT&T isn't offering it yet, I will be happy when they do...
I don't think it is a hardware error, cause there are a lot of users having the same problem.
so i will add my Herm300 currently working on LVSW and originally from Tmobile UK to the list of same front camera problem herm's
tried couple of roms and all the time same black screen :/
anybody any clue ?
I also can't use the main camera in Video Call
any body know how to use the main camera in Video Call,, i press the toggle since i was in the call.. but it also black ... but when i go out of the call and go to camera it give me black. but if i close it and open it again it work fine....

my working front webcam plus
my webcam version is: 1.04
http://www.ateksoft.com
Webcam doesnt work - is no help!
Webcam worked also for the front camera before this black phenemon happend to me!
Now nothing is working - the fault has begun with wired picture lines and rows (back camera) - ended up with none working front camera - and with a back camera which have to be opened twice (first time starting also black) before working.
Help is really needed ! Are there any Initialisation Files or sth. like that for testing purposes to get rid of this.....
Thanx
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

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 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?
Hello
First i would like to mention that i went thru wiki and the forum and i could not find a thread with similar problems.
The problem is in the built in camera (or in the user)
As soon as i turn on the camera to take a picture it doesnt work. On the display the icons are showing like the camera is ready but it is just dark display.
So i pressed the button to capture an image just to see how will the camera react. As i pressed the middle cursor button after some 20-30 second on the display appeared following lines:
Unable to save captured image
unable to get data from camera device.
36003:500:2
I must say that i have problems with the camera module from the very beginning. I was hoping that the latest flash with Tomals SW will improove the camera drivers but this was not the case. Maybe i have to install some additional drivers? I just cant get the bloody camera to work.
Anyone has some idea why my camera does not work?
Besize that my qtek is working just fine.
Thanks 4 the answers.
Best regards from Slowenia.
Peter
Welcome to forums
I had a similar prob and solved changing the ROM
Good luck,
Hello orb3000
Thanks 4 the welcome
i upgraded my rom just 2 days ago with: TML871_WM61_21028_REGULAR_128MB.exe

Try another ROM, just in case. Generally a factory ROM would give a good indication of whether there is a problem and eliminate other possibilities. So I would recommend flashing it just for your peace of mind.
As far as Tomal's ROM is concerned, provided your device is 128Mb and ROM functions as it should otherwise, one of the reasons for non-working camera is the module itself or the mainboard. Hopefully its the camera module, as they are relatively cheap and very easy to replace and no special knowledge is required, as well as minimal device intrusion, so you will be able to replace it yourself. I think i saw the camera module at some of my suppliers, let me check if still available, alternatively, a working second hand part can also be used, I might have one in my toy box somewhere.
Thank you so much. I will yet again update the rom and than i will report how it went. So if it doesnt work, i would be happy to purchase a camera module from you. Replacing it will not be a problem as i have no problem with the mechanics and electronics in general :-D:-D:-D
I also stumbled upon a DIY side in this forum, regarding the universal.
So which rom would you recommend me?
Thanks
:-D:-D

Factory ROM is the ROM your device came with originally, out of the box.

WM 5... as Uni came in with WM 5.... so in my case JASJAR.. and T-Mobile rom... is factory default for my 2 uni....
That could be a problem.
i have been given the qtek 9000 by my boss as he bought himself a tuch diamond pro and he gave me the qtek becouse he knew that i was so enthused about it. :-D:-D
Sadly the PDa came without any CD so factory rom is out of question. He somehow lost the CD so all i had was the phone, the usb cable and the charging unit.
try the wiki first!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades
Otherwise, someone may have it. (I've got SPV M5000 if you're interested)
The wiki has only the country or operator specific downloads. Since i`m from Slovenia there is no operator or SW for our operator on the list.
So i probably need an english version since the qtek in our country c<me only in english version.
Just get WWE for QTEK, or try other WWE ROMs. BUT make sure you have the Slovenian settings on a .CAB or check if they can be sent by your provider.
Peter V8, don't forget to update the wiki if you find what you were looking for... and it wasn't in the wiki. 30 people will (not) thank you, but appreciate it.
As soon as i find the problem i will update it to wiki no problem. If the camera is broken and it need to be replaced i will document the procedure with photos that i will take during the "operation".
Sadly my battery bloated a little bit (no chemical spill so far ) and i took it out of my qtek to protect it from damage. So now i am stuck with nokia N90 until the new Battery arrives that i ordered. So when i will have the new accu i will find the error that the camera is having and report it to wiki and forum.

A battery 'bloated a little bit' means it got wet, which might mean liquid damage to your device and the reason your camera might not work. Even if you replace the battery at this stage, if the main PCB got wet, it will corrode and your device will die, slowly, but surely.
I am fully aware of this problem, but the new battery bloated (i replaced it 3 months ago) and the camera doesnt work since i have the qtek (1,5 year). The little white paper stripe under the sim card holder didnt turn pink and also the battery isnt wett also the phone is not wett. Well we will see when i get the new battery. It is under warranty so if the battery damaged my beloved phone, the company that sold me the new battery 3 months ago will not get so easy of it. Here in Slovenia a well preserved qtek 9000 still costs arround 250-300 Euros.
A little update:
I bought myself a newer working qtek 9000 with partialy broken LCD for 30 Euros. So i placed the battery into my qtek and it works perfectly. Apart from that i am still waiting for my brand new battery to arrive from germany. So i fully charged the spare battery, did a DOC reset and flashed the qtek with Tomals ROM.
The camera however still doesnt work, so it is not a SW problem. Since i have bought the broken qtek 9000 for spare parts, i will take the camera out and replace it. So probably this weekend i will do the "service" and i will take pictures of the procedure and update the forum.
Peter V8 I also face a similar problem since my 2 days Ebay bought 02 Xda Exec's camera is full of white, red, green dots either in photo or video mode. Changing roms didn't help at all and its truly a pity since the phone seems like it came straight from the factory, although used. My dilemma is either paying about 20 Euros to ship it back or waiting for your endeavor to complete but since I overall truly like the phone I will wait and see

There is really no procedure worthy of taking pictures, once you remove the back, remove the large white antenna part and you will see where camera clips in. It's a fairly straightforward flex clip connection.
Little update again.
As i mentioned earlyer, i have bought myself another spare parts uni with broken tft. Ok so first.....i took apart both unis (didnt took no pictures becouse the pdf DIY to disassemble and assemble the UNi is more than helpfull, so you have to be a complete non technical type of human, or you have cerebrall palsy, or you must be a dee tii deee to not understand or grasp how it is made) and puted the tft from my uni in to the spare part uni. It worked perfectly and it had WM 5,0 the original. So the camera worked , everything worked-sim card....everything. So yesterday i flashed the uni with Tomals last ROM (Tommal the rom is working perfectly on my other uni so the SW is just fine) And somehow the uni had problems to work when my SIM card was inserted. So i removed the sim card and the uni worked perfectly. I dont know wath the problem is (probably a sim lock or somethin, but odd enough it worked with WM 5,0) so as the forum was down yesterday, i just dissasembled both unis again, putted the tft back in to my uni and putted the camera which worked just fine in the spare parts uni, in to my uni. And guess what.............the camera is still not working. I have done the hardreset but still.........even as i replaced the camera i still have the mesage......unable to get data from camera bla bla bla.....error 36003:500:2
So there might be a problem with some drivers or something in that way. I am pretty on the end with my knowledge now. How can i find the erorr or the couse of it???
If someone knows i would be very happy uni user :-D
So the problem is still not solved. Otherwise the uni is working perfectly only the camera gives me hard time.
Best regards
Peter

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)

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??
