Hello !
I'm using an HTC Touch HD French version for 2 weeks now and a got a problem with the camera.
First it was working fine, but after a few days without using it I try again and a cannot take picture in photo "standard" mode. Between this of course I add a lot of app on my HTC so maybe one of it had create the problem.
The point is:
If I take a pic in "photo mode" it take the photo correctly and then after 1 sec it was taken the loading logo appear on the screen and the app stay like this for a long time (more than 1 or 2 min). I can go back to the TF3D by pressing the "home" or arrow button but in any case the picture was not saved on the phone memory anywhere.
But the more curious thing is the following. If I take a picture in another mode it work perfectly !!! "contact's photo mode", "Landscape mode", "Theme photo mode" (sorry if their are not the accurate name, I don't know them in the English version), I try all of them and I had no problem with it.
About the app I install on my HTC, the only one that should use the camera is Quickmark (for reading QRcode) it work very fine and I don't think it's making the problem.
If anyone had the same problem or has an idea to help me fixing it, thank in advance for helping me !
i have this exact same problem. it started happening today after doing the registry tweaks to allow the extra camera modes. i haven't tried other camera modes yet. i'll give it a go now and see if it's the same as you.
edit: that's so weird! all the other camera modes work... but when i go back and take a standard photo i get the spinning logo for a 1-2 minutes.
what programs have you installed recently? or since you last had the camera working? have you made any registry edits?
i changed the settings so that it doesn't review the picture after you take it (default is 3 seconds). and now it goes to the spinny logo right after you take picture, that makes me think its a problem related to saving the photo to the device. im gona keep fiddling
Thanks I'm not the only one with this problem.
Actually I've install so much things... the problem is that I was not using the camera a lot of time so I cannot set precisely witch program could have made the problem. But if it's about writing the files in the memory, I don't really know was could create that, I've no special program about file managing or so.
For exemple I have: Quickmark, GPRS NoData, Advanced config, Coreplayer, fring, Gyrator2, TomTom7, SecureW2 TTLS Client 4.0.0, WiDiFoFum2, WMMiniGPS, Metro, PocketUno, SimCity2000, FakeCall, other app are small stuff...
EDIT !!! I've just add the hotfix and desinstall an application that was not working (ResPhone) and now the problem change. I can take the photo, it same to work good again, but when I go to the album all the picture taken are a BIG JAM of pixels (purple, white and green!!) and it's still only in "photo mode", other modes are working fine like before !
And now i was just doing so test and the problem come like before again ! Amazing, I'll be crazy !
i fixed it! man i was just about to do a hard reset and all...
i went into advanced config and reset the camera settings back to default. i think i had changed the settings: encode photos in portrait mode, capture key delay and key delay. put them back to normal, soft reset and it all works again
it will be interesting to see if you had changed settings in advanced config as well.
Thank you ! it seems to work again.
I'm not sure I changed some stuff about camera in advanced config but anyway now I set like this and it work:
encode photos in portrait mode: NO (the program seems to do it anyway)
capture key delay: enabled (default)
key delay: enabled (default)
Hope it can help others too.

Ok, MDA Pro newbie here, as you can see...
On the good old MDA III there was a servicable Photo Album that let you rotate pictures, and view them full screen etc. The "Pictures&Video" on the MDA Pro is wholly inadequate for that, none of them functions seem to be there, unless I missed them all...
Am I right? Is the Album somewhere else where I didn't see it? Should I get a different picture viewer altogether, and if yes, which?
THAAAANKS!
Anyone?
It's called "Pictures and Videos" and is standard with WM5

its gone.
i use resco photo viewer, bit resource hungry, but far more powerful.
...and There is NO Photo Album, Caller ID, & Xbackup on Universal... :wink:
After having used this machine for 3 weeks now I find it really annoying that so many tried and tested things have changed for the worse, this being just the one.
Since you seem to have pictures&video then all you really need to do is learn how to use it again. The pictures&video app (at least on my MDA pro) can do pretty much everything you're looking from it. To rotate a picture, open it, tap menu - edit and on the editor screen tap rotate at the bottom left. To view a picture full screen select it, tap menu - "play slide show", then tap the screen and hit the pause button to stop it from moving on to the next picture. If the slideshow shot is the wrong orentation for you then you can change that in the slide show options (set for portrait mode by default but you can select landscape as the default). You can even crop your pictures in the editor or have it autocorrect for colour and exposure.
XnView
You can also use XnView. it's free and very performant.

Hello everybody:
I'm trying to find out why does everything happens to me...
Yesterday in the snow I used the camera and everything worked fine. (Well, really I used the camera in my hands, not in the snow... )
Today I try to use it and after taking a photo, the HD shows the photo some seconds, and then starts thinking (colours circle going around), and it keep thinking +/- 1 minute. Then goes back to the camera, but when I try to find the photograph that I have just taken, but there isn't in nowhere.
I performed a search with Resco Explorer, files starting with IMAG0, but I didn't find anything...
I changed the folder to store the images with de Advanced Config. Thinking on it, I have restored the folder DCIM\100MEDIA in the Advanced Config, but it keeps doing the same.
Anyone knows why does it happen and how could I fix it??
No ideas??
Please, sombody who can put me in the right direction!!!
Don't want another hard reset!!
Have you made any changes or installed any programs that affect the camera?
What mode/settings are you using when taking pictures? Is the problem in all modes?
Have you edited the registry to activate extra camera modes like burst, sport etc.?
EDIT: Have you tried a soft reset?

All the changes I've made, have used HD Tweak, or Advanced Config.
The day before I changed de locations folders with Advanced Config, but I think I've restored them to try if that was the problem, but there aren't any changes.
With HD Tweak, the setting concerning the camera:
11.1: On
11.2: On
11.3: On
11.4: On
11.5: On
11.6: 3 Mpx
11.7: 3 Mpx
And with Advanced Config, the suspicious settings:
In Camera group: (Sorry if the translation isn't faithful enough)
Backup Location: My Images
Codify images in portrait mode: Yes
Delay in shot button: Off
Shoot time: Off
Delay time for shot button: 1500
And in locations (those I changed before the failure appeared):
Default location for image files: \Storage Card\My documents
(I changed other locations, but I think that they aren't related with the camera...)
In the camera settings, the Storage option activated is "Storage Card".
I think that other options can't be related with this.
There are any registry settings I may review??
The extra modes were activated with the configuration tools, not in the registry directly.
Yes, I've made (several) soft resets.
Sorry for my english if anything doesn't make sense.
Hi Guys,
thanks for the great Software!
Last week i've installed TF3DHDB2. Now I've got some questions:
1. My X1-Camera saves its images to \Speicherkarte\DCIM .
I want to tell HTC ALBUM that it should only show images out of this folder. With HKLM\Software\HTC\HTC Album\favorite_folder = [ALL] it shows all images saved on the SD Card. How can I change this?
Set this value to "\Speicherkarte\DCIM" does not work.
2. Image rotation in Picture Detail view
When I watch the pictures in TF3D (Home Plugin) and then clicked one, it opens fullscreen. If this picture is a portrait format one, it shows in landscape mode, and not in portrait mode, how it should. You get what I mean?
Thanks for helping.
This is my first post here, so please be indulgent with me ;-)
open the HTCAlbum, surf to your pictures folder.
then use the rigth softkey and choose "set as favourite" and boom ... it shows the Pictures from the camera in TF3D ... thats the theory at least
Thanks, that was too easy ;-)
Problem #1 solved!
any ideas for problem #2? :/
Hi, I just noticed today that the Photos & Videos tab on my slider doesn't work. It shows the correct number of pictures on the right hand side, and the camera and video icons work, but no pictures show up like they used to - just a black screen!
Another quirk is that although there is a Menu soft key on the right, the left soft key is called whatever was the left soft key on the tab previously pressed. So if I hit Messages, the left soft key is All Messages; I then slide back to Photos & Videos and the left soft key is All Messages!
Weird. The Pictures and Videos application does work, I've tested it. But it won't work when I slide to the Photos & Videos tab.
I'm using the stock 1.66 ROM (UK) and have not made major changes to the phone recently; just a few small apps and a couple of Leo hotfixes (car kit and music stability). I don't even know when the problem started.
Maybe the registry setting for the P&V tab is corrupt? But where can I find that setting?
Please help - I don't want to reflash!!
Many thanks,
David
if worse comes to worse you wouldnt have to flash, just hard reset, (resets to factory settings or when new rom was flashed)
what apps have you installed to narrow it down, and what hotfixes did you apply
Photos & Videos tab problem
Thanks for replying. I installed the Leo hotifxes for music stability and car kit enhancement, so I can't see why they'd be a problem.
The only other relevant app is Resco Photo Manager which I've had for while and didn't notice a problem. I went into the settings and unchecked everything.
One other person has reported the same problem at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6858630#post6858630. I haven't had a boot problem, just a problem with the slider tab. The Picture and Image Viewer (pimg.exe, I think) works, as does HTC Albums.
I don't know how to check the links Sense puts on the slider or how to get into the slider at all except to rearrange and delete tabs. The thought of reinstalling all my apps gives me a headache. I hope there's another way of fixing this.
Oh, I also have CHT 1.8.0, but there isn't a setting in it for slider tab shortcuts, so I don't *think* that's the problem.
Many thanks for your help,
David

Nothing showing in Photos & Video Tab [SOLVED - partially]
I have a Touch Diamond flashed with Lite Rom v4, and the problem just started a couple of days ago. I think it may indeed have to do with a landscape issue. When I turn the device to landscape view (specifically at the 270 degree position), the photos returned. I can then rotate the device back to the portrait position, and the photos also rotate. However, once I leave the Photos & Video Tab and return, the problem is back. I checked the settings, including that for Cookie Home Tab Editor, and couldn't find the settings to control Landscape/Portrait views; maybe it's built into the ROM? Although it's not ideal, for now I'll have to view the photos in landscape first.
Hello everyone. I've got the HTC Pure (I think it's the same as the Touch Diamond 2). I was reading through some other posts about registry tweaks to improve the performance of the camera, unlock picture modes, increase photo quality, etc. All of the tweaks seemed relatively harmless to the phone, and the only risk was to the camera if something didn't work.
Well something did not work, but I'm not sure what it was. Some of the tweaks worked fine (like unlocking Sport and Burst photo modes). However, now whenever I take a regular picture with the camera the phone freezes when it displays the picture I just took. The only thing I can do at that point is press the "end/hang up" button to return to the main Today screen in TF3D. But then when I return to the camera app it won't load, and the picture I just took was not saved either. If I run the cleanRAM app, the results show between 1-2megs freed up, then the camera app responds again, but still the same end result.
I've reviewed all the settings in HKLM>Software>HTC>Camera and everything there and in those subfolders appears normal. But I don't remember what the settings were originally. I'm hoping if I return the camera registry settings to their default values this problem will be fixed.
Does anyone have a list of the default HTC camera registry settings? Also, what are the other registry keys that affect the camera besides the folder where I've been looking?
If I were you, I'd re-post this thread into the TD2/Pure forum. Some folks there with a Stock ROM may be able to help you out.
Thanks. I will try to figure out how to do that!
