I have a T-Mobile Compact 2 where all the camera activities are not working. It has been unlocked (successfully). I thought it might be s/w and downloaded the latest ROM from T-Mobile which updated me to v3 but did not improve situation (don't know whether upgrade includes camera s/w). The problem shows itself whenever a camera action is selected (either by camera button or by selecting camera in programs) - all that happens is that MS disc spins for 1 sec to show program is loading then vanishes - and that's it!. Can anyone help or tell me how to see whether it is s/w or h/w problem. Thanks

I recently unlocked a friend's XDA II (the profile details are for this XDA) kudos on a good piece of work.
Thing is, the camera has stopped working.
When the camera button on the side is pressed, the following error message is generated:
Code:
"Cannot find '' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available"
I don't have much experience with the XDA II so don't know where to look to see if the camera software is installed, or how to re-install it. There are no obvious mentions of the camera in the settings tabs or the like.
Any help or advice on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Camera button
The camera button points to "\windows\Camera.exe"
If you don't have that program the camera will not work.
You sould also check the button settings in the settins menu.

How I got camera to work
The problem came to light when ikki suggested I look for the executable, of course it wasn't there. I then realised the cause for this was that I had cancelled the initial setup apps that ran after the hard reboot so that I could get to the unlocking screen quickly.
It turns out these initial tasks never try ro run again, so the device hadn't had all the bells and whistles strapped on. A hard reset and letting the user proceed through the intial setup solved this problem and installed the custom O2 settings.
Thanks for the help.
A strange problem has suddenly appeared.
When I start the camera, after a while performing the loading icon, the cycle in the center of the screen showing that the device is working, the following error appears :
Unable to start preview mode. Internal error 36001:101:1
Has anyone got any clue?
I use the camera rarely, and since the last time I used it, I have installed and uninstalled various applications.
Sound really strange to me, so any clues will be appreciated !
The problem may come from some pisture viewer software such as Resco or spb imageer.
That program is set to use as default viewer for picture image.
The resolution for this problem that i can think is install CAMERA again by extract file from Ext ROM and install again in your device.
or You may try hard reset first. If problem still occur .you may need to flash ROM again.
It may also be caused by a movie player or something that uses the ATI hardware chip. Does the error only occur after you have played a movie or something? Try closing all running applications prior to starting the camera and see if that helps (if you have a movie player running, close it using its own exit option so that it 'tidies up').
Failing that, does the camera start OK after a soft reset?

I have none of the applications you mention installed on my device.
I even deselected all applications from my today screen, soft reseted the device and still have the same problem.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
Certainly sounds strange :? What version of ROM have you got installed?
Perhaps re-installing the Camera app will fix it. This is in the Extended ROM.
I have 1.72 installed.
I agree with you.
I think I will have to reinstall the camera application
I have been updating my camera software from various xda posts and they have all failed. So i uninstalled and went back to my normal software (htc camera 4.0).
Now, when i put the flashlight on, it does not come on (flashlight works with VJCandelaLite) and i able to capture videos but not pictures ("unable to capture photo").
Even when i try a program like cool camera or any of them. They do not work and they come up with a different error. "a problem has occurred with filesys.exe"
Any ideas what to do, other than a hard-reset. Is there a program that might have caused a conflict?
Is htccamera.dll corrupted from the many different versions installed?
Thanks
the phone crashed when something is related to the camera function is running.
1) when using the QR code scanner from zxing and other similar apps, it can scan the QR and direct to market place. All without issue.. But right after press Install -- >> Ok (to all permission) the phone rebooted itself automatically.
2) When using QIK's live streaming, i can see the qik running and press Live sharing video, and it can load for a little, and as soon as i see the camera screen with QIK at the corner, the phone rebooted automatically.
If i only use the camera to take pictures or videos, all works fine.
So it seems something related to the camera when something else is working at same time.
Currently using CM 6.0.0. DS
Anyone with similar issue?
thx
Camera on my 6t focuses initially, ( when screen touched ) but after "fire" button is pressed, goes out of focus an instant before capturing image. Image is indeed out of focus.
This happens on all of the camera apps I've tried, but does not happen when capturing images within Google Voice, which I use for messaging.
I've looked for info on this problem online, and although I've found a number of other problems mentioned, I've seen nothing on this, specifically.
Screen recording and video below illustrates the problem. Any insights into this issue greatly appreciated!

Finally someone with the sane problem as I! Did you figure out what's wrong. I've tried installing Gcam and OOS camera apks but they fail to open.
Looking forward to your reply.
Open Camera is the only app which reliably focuses for me.
A Solution, Perhaps?

Sorry for the delay. I wasn't monitoring this thread.
I loaded Open Camera, which seems to provide a solution. In the main camera screen, there is a camera icon with a "+". This allows you to select a specific Camera, though I'm not sure exactly what is being "selected". Cameras 2 and 3 seem to work, while Camera 1 has this focus issue.
In addition, in the camera settings, there is an option to select "Camera API". Camera 2 API allows manual focus, something I was looking for. Let me know if this helps...

Amazing, that made my day. OpenCamera lets me use either the bottom or the top camera but also the combination of both to produce a blur effect in a similar way to the stock ROM. I didn't think that was possible without stock.
Up until now I would just reboot my phone and the out of focus issue was gone for a little while. This is much better though.
It makes me wonder : I also sometimes have an issue with the flash where the timing is just ever so slightly wrong, i.e the photo is taken just a split second after the light flash, which effectively gives the same result as if the flash was turned off. Again, a reboot fixes it temporarily. Does any of you also have this issue ?
