Camera issue - failed to initialise on WM6.1 - HTC Typhoon

Hi
I upgraded my Sp3 a while ago to WM6 and have just recently dug it back out and reflashed with latest firmware mentioned here http://karhoe.net/content/view/35/1/. It seems much more responsive/stable atm. However in the instructions it indicates that I should go to Settings --> More --> More and install/change camera driver. But this setting does not exist. When I select camera icon I get the error "Unable to initialise camera - failed to set up camera device."
I seemed to remember the existance of a camera.cab file that I could use...is this correct...and if yes can anyone direct me to it??? If not, what can I do to resolve this problem.
Many thanks

No answer needed. Worked it out...in settings menu there is a further option called "settings"....in this menu there is an option to turn camera on/off. By default it appears to be set to off (not sure why) but after reboot it was all fixed and camera seems fine. Hope this is of some help to others.

Installation Problem - Paragon Software

Hiya All,
I'm trying to install Hebrew language extender on my Imate Jam rom 1.12
I'de a previous version installed which was fine, tried to uninstall and install a new version because of some minor problems which I though that will be solved in the newer version.
The problem is that during the installation, the install wizard tries to install tahoma and tahomabd fonts to the ppc device and fails in that operation.
The exact error message is "Can't copy C:\Windows\Fonts\\tahoma.ttf", yep with double "\\".
I've also tried to copy the original version which I'd but stayed with the same results.
Any opinion on how to solve this mistery ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bright Star
Sorry, I can't help you with that, but I can confirm that this software is very bad for your Magician.
I purchased the Danish version and ran it for some time. During that period I had a LOT of problems with the BT icon dissapearing.
I started noticing that after a hard reset, the icon was always there until I installed the Language Extender, and then it was gone! Sure enough, since I stopped using this program, my BT icon problems has nearly dissapeared.
So unless someone comes up with a better idea, all I can say is hard reset your Magician and don't use this crappy software again

Camera issues - not available

I got my htc cruise about ten days ago. Camera was working fine.
But four days ago, i got the message the camera could not be initialized. I read on this forum that it sometimes helped to remove the battery for about 15 minutes. So that's what i did. And guess what, it worked for about 1 day
Then i kept getting the message the camera couldn't be initialized. Removing the battery didn't help anymore.
Then i hoped a hard-reset would do the thrick. Windows reinstalled and everything went fine. But now the camera icon is missing from "Programs". I tried to start it by going to the photo album and pressing the camera icon. Nothing happened. Then i use file explorer to go to the exe file. I found the camera.exe file, i tapped it but nothing happens.
Anybody have a solution?
Return it asap and get a new one
Camera issue
Hello,
I got this problem 5 days ago too... Very strange! Tried most of the procedures said here in the forum and none worked. The weirdest thing is that the camera just stopped working from one day to another, i clearly remember of not installing anything during those days.
I am very pissed about this issue! My problem is bigger: I bought it at UK while travelling and currently I live in Brazil (no support center around here).
Do you guys really think that its a hardware problem? How can that be if some other people already said here in the forum that a few days or weeks later, the camera went back on?
Anyone else can help us with this issue?
Regards
Try that one, worked everytime the issue happened for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391455
Thats quite strange! My Storage Card is 40% free...
My problem is bigger now... After 2 weeks of "could not initialize" issue, my camera simply doesnt start anymore... I tried to lauch the application directly from the camera.exe but it doesn´t work either...
Don´t know what else to do...
radio rom upgrade?
did you upgrade your radio rom to 1.64.08.21 ?
if your answer is "yes" you should downgrade to Murata radio rom (1.58.21.23) ..
don't forget to backup your data, because Murata Radio does hardreset after downgrade..
No. I use the original Radio ROM (1.58.21.23).
I dont wanna try to change the ROM yet in case I need to send it to service.
I tried to install the Nadavi New HTC Camera and didn´t help in any way. But I noticed that, after uninstalling this patch, the camera exe files went back to the old versions. I tried to uninstall them (the original ones) or delete them in the File Explorer, even in safe mode, and windows mobile wouldnt let me.
Kenhas, looks like Im in the same point as you (exe is not working either). Did you happen to make yours work?
Any other soul could help us in here? (btw thanks for the help given by everybody!)

have you tried to delete the /DCIM directory from your storage card and soft reset ?
if your exe is broken you probably need to hard reset.
I formatted my storage card (8 gb) and soft reset... no deal
My exe is broken now. Do you really think the hard reset now is going to fix it? Before I had the "unable to initialize device", now I don´t have anything
I installed both Microsoft Portrait and Coolcamera to try the camera, they get quite the same error.. something like "failed to get camera"...

I don't know if those tools share the same camera dlls, but if that is the case, a hard reset might fix things, otherwise, it means it is a hardware failure, and you will need to send your phone back to service.
FYI, when I faced camera issues, I installed the NADAVI WITH FIX cab for Kaiser , and that version only made the camera tool work again (although for me the rear camera was not working due to the storage card issue)
Maybe try installing that one first before hard resetting

Unable to start Camera - Unable to initialize camera

I got this error message a few days back, and I've tried everything I can find on the forum (re-flashed Rom - Radio changed camera.exe etc - taken battery out for 15 mins tried it with no sd card) - it seemed to start when I changed from Schaps Rom to new 6.5 Rom
Has anyone ever successfully fixed this? Is it most likely hardware (as Ive re-flashed everything else?)
If its hardware then fine - just wanted to check in case there is a solution that I can't find on here
All help appreciated,
Lindon

HTC HD camera and internet connections problem

I have 2 problems with my Touch HD:
1. the first one is related to the camera.
I tried to make a rom update which failed the first time, but when i tried the second time it all went well. The problem is that after the rom update, all the pictures and video that i've made had a lot of noise. i've attached a picture taken yesterday.
2. the second problem is with the internet connection.
all the settings are ok, doubled checked with the isp site. i'm usig vodafone and i get this messege when i try to launch the data connection: "cannot connect for an unknonw reason. To check your connections settings and change them if needed, tap Settings ...."
i've tried different versions of rom, original or 3rd party provided, including froyo and wm 6.5 with no result for neither one of the problems.
unfortunately I do not know which was the original rom. the phone was bough in january 2009.
what is the rom?
try to change camera is very easy only install a cab!
found the link in another post previous this!
Hi
Don't know if this will help, but have you tried HD Tweak? I found this sorted out my Camera software. I am on the stock WM6.1 mind.
The ROM version is 1.57.831.1 (47324) WWE
The Radio version is 1.14.25.24
i've installed two different version of drivers for the camera, but it's still not working. same problem ...
