The Coolcamera application is a good one to check if the camera is working.
It is possible that the push in connector on the front camera has come loose. I have seen this reported before. So if you have checked all software problems and have tried a hard reset, then you could investigate the camera connection. (It's a fairly major dismantle though and voids any warranty)
Here is the camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here you can see it's push on connector:

Its kind of off topic, I have an att 8525 but noticed i have the connector for the front web cam. Has any one tried hooking up the front web cam on an 8525 and had any success getting it to work? where would be a good place to go about obtaining one of these web cam modules if I wanted to try it out?

Hi,
I have an XDA1 and want to get an XDA2.
However, we aren't allowed cameras on site at work, and despite a long email conversation with the security jobs-worth where I volunteer to super glue a metal plate over the lens and the likes, I'm not allowed to bring an XDA2 to work :x .
So, does anyone know how difficult it would be to open up an XDA2, unsolder and completely remove the camera?
Thanks in advance,
Muddy.
If you look at this pic, it looks like just unplugs. But will they just not still disbelieve you?

Did you take this picture yourself?
Did you have to strip the XDA2 down much?
Cheers,

No I prefer my unit in one piece. Its from the wiki.xda-developers.com and the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5002
Here is a pictorial step by step guide to opening the unit.

Best of luck, and please tell us how you get on. Im sure you are not the only one in this situation.

More Pixels???
Actually, if you can remove the current camera, I wonder if it would be possible to put a better camera in its place..?
Opinions anyone?
It may be possible to plug it in, but I'm not sure the api's could handle it.
This module here appears identical to the xda's, but is 1.3 Mpixel.
From here:
http://www.aiptek.com.tw/english/product/modules/module_desc.htm#2
Sounds like a research project for PPCtechs

This is what happens when low-paid morons get to decide on company policy. If you were going to spy, you'd just bring in a clandestine camera (many are so small they are undetectable without a strip-search).
As I said, if they dont believe the metal plate, why would they believe he removed the camera?
Surur
Nice 1.3
Hmmm Very keen on looking into getting the 1.3 installed ,Any one know of an importer for the cam ?
Regards

Carlos,
Sometimes it is best to hide in plain sight.
If you get caught with one of those devices or using it - kinda limits your excuses. If you, like everyone else, have a camera in your phone who would notice you. Now, your camera might be modified by someone to take better photos, but they would never know.

hi
thanx alot surur
i'm so interested in the 1.3 mega pixel camera module and i have some questions about it :
can i replace the one inside the i-mate with this one ?
is it going to work fine with the i-mate ?
from where i can buy it ?
and please i need any information about it
another site about it:
http://www.worldlingo.com/wl/transl...iyota.com/product/cmos/sxga.html&wlg_table=-3
the i-mate will be the best device if i can use this cam
AMmorsy
The built-in-camera is this one: http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5989-0391EN.pdf
I know nothing about PPC programming, but wouldnt it just be like updating the drivers for the never camera over the old ones? Plus a little more. I am sure someone could make some money out of this!
Why did this discussion stop?
Did you not have any success, or did you damage your gadget?
(Interested, but not a welder....)
Hey all,
Is there anyway to use the 3G (front) camera to take pics or just to test the cam. The Universal use to be able to do this so I assumed this could as well yet I cant seem to find a way to switch the viewfinder into that Camera.
Cheers
Osiris.

Yes, when you are on video call there's a button to switch cammeras.
You're absolutely right, I never saw it
Thanks !
Is it possible to use the front camera (videocam) as a webcam with for instance pocket msn or pocket skype? and if yes, how?

Mike, I believe he wants webcam capabilities for pocket versions. As far as I know, this is not possible...yet .

Not yet. However, MS Portrait MAY implement support for the TyTN front camera in the future. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291444

Hi
I am using the JasJam WWE ROM. The screen is bright but not fully. When I switch to camera, for 1/2 a second the screen is fully iluminated and very bright. Than I lose it again. Does it happen with other ROMs? Can this be changed to get a full ilumination? I live in a very sunny country and it is sometimes really annoying.
I noticed this on the HTC ROM...i am running the imate ROM now and the same thing. I figured it was that if you ran with the screen on UBER bright like on camera you may drain the battery BIG TIME.
You can try Vijay's VJLumosII:
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJLumosII
Most probably it will work on TyTN too, but I haven't tried it.
Well this software actually works but I have to start it manually every time. It makes no sense. Therefore I added it to the Startup folder but that is not good as it is not letting the camera to start saying that "camera is already running". Any idea?
In VJLumosII web page:
Use -off to disable it (eg before starting the camera)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I think you don't need to place it in startup manually, also from the webpage:
VJLumos II can install a notifcation event, so that every time you switch on the Phone, you will automatically get SuperBrite.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
VJLumos II was written for the Magician, for which it works great.
It has been tested on the Universal, but briefly, and it superbrites the screen, but unfortunately you can only do it once (I think).
It does, kinda, work on the Hermes, will make the screen brighter (so I hear). However, the Hermes has the same problem, and I haven't had a chance to fix it, because I never used the Universal long term, and don't have Hermes, sniff.
But I'll fix it. Even-shwally.

I’m suffering from the same problem with my i-mate JasJam,
The screen is not bright enough.
I check the VJLumos II solution and it works fine, except the OFF button that does not response on my devise
And due to that I have to SR the device in order to use the camera.
However it is the only solution that I have at this moment.
More ideas ?
Maybe someone have a “secret” and smart CAB file that can fix this issue ones and for all (-:
Thanks everybody
Ori
vijay, this sounds like a challenge for you... I guess that what we need is a full brihtness mode without harming the camera. Sorry, mate but I can't give you my own Hermes as I live far a way.
ideas ?
someone ?
:roll:
nobody have this problem that the screen is not bright enough ???

Guys, I've released VJLumos III for the Hermes, in the development and hacking thread.
Early release, but I've been using it all day and works fine.
MUCH brighter!

Hi folks!
Has anyone here by chance had an issue with their Hermes Jogwheel? My phone's carefully looked-after and has only ever been dropped twice but for some reason my jogwheel has stopped working.
I tried a hard reset to make sure it wasn't a software thing but no luck with it working again

I have only seen one previous report of a hardware issue with the jog wheel. Not likely a repairable component, but might just need re-seating.
NB also has flashlight on the reverse (does that work??)

Yeah it's strange... The light is fine (tested with the camera flash function)
Just weird that it stopped all of a sudden and can't see as it's a software problem because of the hard reset etc.
I may have a look for a "how to disassemble" guide and see if it's been unseated as you suggested, cheers!

Test the front camera using an app such as coolcamera by ateksoft (not freeware but may be a trial version) to be sure it isn't a camera problem. The push on connector can slip off.

Thank's a lot dude, i'll try to check it later...
May I asking again?
Does the ROM and radio version may have an influence to the front camera function?
As a comparison, i've checked my device information with my friends device and here's the result :
My Dopod 838 Device Info (Front camera doesn't work) :
ROM Version : 3.54.707.3
ROM Date : 07/05/07
Radio Version : 1.47.00.10
Protocol Version : 32.80.7020.20H
And here's my friend's Dopod 838 Device Info (His Front camera function well)
ROM Version : 3.54.707.4
ROM Date : 07/19/07
Radio Version : 1.47.30.10
Protocol Version : 32.80.7020.20H
Please give me an advice... Thanks
