Hi,
when I set the camera on my O2 Xda Neo to 1.3 Megapixel or higher, there are stranges stripes on the photos (see examples below). It works fine if I use lower values...
Does anyone know a way to fix this other than sending it to the O2 service?
The Neo is currently running the QTek-Rom, but the problem was there before too! Also it's not overclocked...
Examples:
i doesnt see any example ... have you overclock your phone?
There are two black vertical lines in the top photo. I cant see whats wrong with the bottom one though.
OP - more information please.
Sorry for the late reply..
The top photo was shot with 1.3 or 2.0 megapixels (can't remember anymore, it makes no difference though since it's the same problem with the two values)
The bottom photo was shot with the setting "Large (640x480)" just to show that it works with lower values.
it´s a problem of your rom, my qtek happened the same thing. reinstal the older rom, that is the service of qtek made on mine s200 to solve the prob.
Thanks for your reply!
I'm not sure if I'm able to downgrade my Prophet since it's a G4 model, or does this only apply to usermade roms?
Edit:
Hmm, nope.. Just tried the newest O2-Rom...same problem

Hi all,
I just got a TyTN and was instantly very impressed with the camera's quality. So i tried my DirectShow camera library which I know to run fine on the HTC Wizard/Universal/Tornado devices, but I immediatelly realized the following problem:
When i enumerate the camera modes on the TyTN, the only mode i get is 160x120, 7.5Hz, YUV12. While my lib can play that back without problems, I'd rather acess those modes with higher resolution and framerate.
Looking at the built-in camera tool and comparing the video quality againt other devices I'd guess the preview runs at 320x240 at 7.5 Hz (video quality of the preview is really great). I already checked that this is the higher quality camera on the back side and not the low quality camera on the front side.
Is HTC trying to block us from using the more advanced camera modes via DirectShow or am i missing something here?
thanks for any hints,
Daniel
Hi,
Sorry to disturb your thread
But I was wondering if you know if it's possible to re-flash the HTC TyTN to an English firmware.
Currently I have the French version of the HTC TyTN with an azerty keyboard and french language.
I would like to keep the azerty layout, but change the language to English.
Let me know if you have any experience with this.
Thanks
I have been reflashing and unlocking my HTC Universal which all worked fine, but i did not reflash the HTC TyTN yet - I already got it today. Since it is in english (the language i prefer for developing on it) i also have little reason to do so...
Still maybe anybody has an idea about the DirectShow issue?
Any experiences like that on other devices?
Daniel
I'm willing to bet you have a G4 flash chip in that TyTN. What's your IPL/SPL rev level?
On the camera.... is there any chance that DirectShow is enumerating the front camera instead of the back? Perhaps it isn't properly coded for a device that actually has two cameras.
> On the camera.... is there any chance that DirectShow is enumerating the front camera instead of the back? Perhaps it isn't properly coded for a device that actually has two cameras.
that was also my first thought, although even that camera can do more. but streaming out the pictures i read from the camera confirms that it is the back camera.
maybe you are right and there is a bug in the DirectShow driver of HTC. i never tried enumerating the 2nd camera, but maybe it is worth a try now...
Daniel
Hi, could you dump the english version to an image and upload it somewhere ? On the XDA ftp for example.
Or is that asking too much ?
> What's your IPL/SPL rev level?
Sorry to ask, but where can I find this ? The power+camera button solution apparently doesn't work with the HTC TyTN, or I'm doing it the wrong way.
General info:
ROM version: 1.18.256.2
Radio version: 1.03.03.10
Protocol version: 32.34.7010.01H
ROM ext ver: 1.18.256.103
That's all i could find.
Hope it helps.
when you first boot it, does it display the spl/ipl revision on the initial splash screen?
My ROM shows the following numbers
M05
S04
B05
R 1.03.03.10
G 32.34.7010.01H
D 1.18
i'm not quite sure how to read that and i never dumped a ROM yet. if you tell me how to do it i might give it a try...
Daniel
All the versions are the same for me too,
M05
S04
B05
R 1.03.03.10
G 32.43.7010.01H
D 1.18
But I'm currently also unaware of how to dump an image, tried using the same mechanism as for the other Qteks.
But holding the power + camera for 1 second, then releasing the power button, but still holding the camera button will do nothing.
Anyone got an idea ? Going to search around on the net to see if i can get more information.
Thanks
The world has changed, apparently! :shock:
Anyone have updates on this subject?
Seems that the front camera isn't listed on DirectShow...
Anyone knows a solution?
Thanks
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,
andrea
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....

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

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.

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 everyone,
First of all I don't post this issue in the yellowish side thread, because this isn't what happens to me. Mi tint applies to the whole screen and it's more a green kind of tint.
I've got a SGS2 since the day it was released in Spain (20ish of May), but until yesterday I didn't know anyone else who had it. A friend of mine bought it recently from Vodafone, and yesterday we compared screens (I was showing him roms and introducing him to Android etc.).
Point is, both on Cognition KH3, his S2 showed a real grey-blueish colour, whilst mine has this greenish aspect. I couldn't make a photograph in that moment, but I simply did a screencapture of the notification tray, and opened it from my pc displayed on a correctly calibrated monitor.
This is the result:
h**p://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4429/img2776wp.jpg
(Can't post pics, sorry about that, new user)
I've tried full wipe (memory cards included), stock roms, cognition, leomar, lightning, speedmod, ninphetamine; been tryin' supercurio's Screentune app (which partly solves this phone's banding problem) and nothing.
The phone is set on autobrightness, Standard effect, no LED energysave or whatsoever.
Question is, should I take it to the tech service? Is this the usual SAmoled screen? Am I just a neurotic a**hole?
No big deal I think, I have simillar greenish tint, doesnt bother me that much, I believe it's not that much visible. Yes your's is little bit deeper, I also have phone released as one of the first in UK, maybe a problem of first batch? Question: what are the 2 arrows pointing up and down on your picture in the info pull down menu? Next to wifi icon and bluetooth? Is it something added from your operator? What it does? I don't have it on my SGS. Thx.

It's relieving to know I'm not the only one, and that maybe this is a general issue on the first units of this phone. Maybe could be solved with software?
ps: The arrows are simply a Data Connection toggle added in the some custom ROMs . In this case as I said it's Cognition's latest ROM.
