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.
Dear all,
I'm currently enjoying the SRS WOW plugin which an be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2291468&postcount=81
However, after each soft-reset, my settings go back to default. I checked tru the registry settings and these seem to be associated with this plugin:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\BtA2dpSnd
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\WaveDev
The thing is, the values do not change when I change my SRS settings. It seems disconnected. I was hoping to find working registry settings, so I can probably create a cab to run each time I soft-reset.. but like I mentioned, the registry keys seem disconnected.
Anyone else who uses it experiences the same problem?
I've been on a few 6.1 ROMs, from Duttys and now Shaks. Same issue.
Thanks for reading.

Create 2 new keys with a registry editor
1.InputGain=0
2.OutputGain=0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\BtA2dpSnd
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SRS\WOWXT\WaveDev

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't seem to work.
I added the 2 keys you mentioned into the 2 paths (total 4 keys) and they seem to be disconnected with the SRS control panel.
The thing is, I usually set the Input Gain and Output Gain to max (rest is default), but sadly these are the 2 settings which go back to default after a soft reset.
Wait a min.. Although I notice the regisry keys dont get updated each time i edit the gain settings.. it does remain at max settings after reset! (that is if the registry keys are set to zero)
Thanks again!!
Can someone please explain exactly what to do, for my settings to keep the same after Soft Reset ...
I tried changing those values to 0, but the problem is really that the setting are always at maximum after soft reset, they don`t stay as a previously configured them.
Someone found the solution to this already ?
Thank you in advanced !!!

Well for me, the maximum settings for TruBass is what I want, so I'm ok with it. I'm not sure if it stays in other settings.
Here are my personal settings (headphones):
3D Effect: 100%
Center Effect: 40%
Focus level: 0%
Definition level: 0%
TruBass level: 40%
Speaker size: 100Hz (40Hz for internal)
Input gain: 0dB
Output gain: 0db
I can confirm that these settings do stay that way after soft-reset.
The Headphone/Internal setting doesn't matter as that's the mode selection, meaning the headphone setting will be used when you plug-in your headphones.
I have created a cab that incorporates the extra registry settings and all for convenience. You might wanna try it and see if it helps:
Thank you for all your help ! It works perfect now !
Hi,
Before posting this, I searched the forum and have only found posts years old.
This issue I am facing at the moment is a camera/video camera issue stating the following:
Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.
I only really noticed this happening since doing camera related registry tweaks such as the 8MB, or additional hidden modes. Originally I applied the tweaks using a registry editor, but now I use the lastest BSB Tweaks application. The issue seems to arise whether I have the tweaks turned on or off so I am not suggesting that the tweaks are actually to blame. I have been tweaking this phone so much that it could be anything.
Anyway, a random soft reset here and there fixes it, but I was just wondering if anyone else has experieced this issue with the HD2?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you may have inadvertantly caused this issue with a bad registry edit.
If so, you'll need either a complete overhaul of the camera registry settings, or a hard reset.
I've only ever used the camera tweaks in BsB, and my camera works fine (I've never seen your problem). If you like, I'd be happy to either export or list the registry keys and values off my phone that might help.
Were all the registry hacks within one key, do you know, or where they in different places. (I don't know if there's just one key for camera settings, with sub-keys, or if they're spread about the registry.)
Hi there,
I've been getting this also, I think I've narrowed it down to the swype keyboard I'm using...
I haven't changed default keyboard with SIP so I have to manually change keyboard whenever I boot, sometimes the swype keyboard doesn't come up, it flashes like it's going to change but remains on the default keyboard. When this happens I can't start the camera. When the change is seemless the camera works fine. A soft reset usually fixes it.
Are you using swype? Have you tried removing any other tweaks to see if it helps?

I'm using the swype keyboard and also have done the camera super fine reg tweak and have had no problems. I didn't use BSB tweaks and I didn't do the reg setting for more camera modes.I also haven't changed default keyboard with SIP.

I am using Swype also, but never experienced an issue using this great keyboard. After posting the message, I did a soft reset and it is working again.
I think I will remove Swype for a while and see if the problem returns. I have all the CABs on my SD card anyway, so not a hassle to reinstall.

I believe that the registry tweaks affected different places...I am trying to find the thread....
EDIT: Found the thread...I actually installed the CABS in the end I think....cannot remember now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602234

Since there's only a few of them, I'll just list the values I have, rather than export the lot and end up changing ALL your camera settings.
These are the values for the registry keys in the 1st post on that page.
HKLM\software\htc\camera\image\jpegquality\superfine
5Msize = 746028
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P2
EncodeFormat = 48
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P1
EncodeFormat = 2
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\recparam\MP4VGA
BitRate = 2097152
Hope this helps
Edit:
How strange - I didn't put that space in "superfine", and it's not there when I edit the post!

It doesn't happen all the time, only when I try to change from default to swype keyboard and it *doesn't* load properly, then the camera issue appears. I've also applied all tweaks for the camera using BSB.
It's very random but I've now flashed to Miri's rom and so far no swype issue and no camera issue!
Thanks, I will check these settings before and after toggling them in BSB Tweaks.
My hd2 has the same problem.
I just tried hard reset my device and install new rom, but it still comes out all day.
Some time a soft reset can take effect, but some time only hard reset can make the camera work.
When the issue comes out, it seems the Opera Mobile 10 beta can not work correctly either.
PS: I didn't use any of the tweaks.
I also got this error once and a soft reset corrected it. Don't know the actual cause.
I have BsB tweaks installed, but no Swype.
I had this problem before too, i remember it happened after I made registry tweak on the video recording quality. its gone after I restore to the default value. I did not use swype keyboard, but i did installed bsb tweak.
I had this problem as well when trying to create my own reg cab to change all the settings I wanted upon a hard reset. It messed with a lot more than just camera not initializing. I narrowed it down to the camera reg settings but not sure which one, I couldn't bare hard reseting my device 5 times in one day.
The only reg tweak I have for the camera is the 8MP one which hasn't messed it up.
happened to me too.
have BsB tweaks installed, dont have swype.
only soft reset fixes the problem.
I didn't make a registry tweak manually, I did this with BsB tweaks and don't have any problems with it. I really think you need to change back, the reg. tweaks you did manually! GL!
ok, restored all default camera values in the registry - problem still exists.
i found out that if i soft reset the device and then start the camera it works fine.
problem happens when i use a program before using the camera.
any ideas?

Just uninstalled this. Lets see if that makes a difference. I dont even use the camera, so despite noticing the problem, it doesnt actually affect me much.
I have this problem approx. every third time I want to use the camera. The only way to fix it then is a soft reset.
I've installed several tweaks/patches but no swype.
Hi all,
I had the same problem but I manage to solve it in a very weird way.
This might sound really strange, but have any of you put something between the battery and the cover? When I went home over Christmas I use another SIM card to lower my roaming charges. I didn't want to loose my other SIM card when not is use so I used a piece of tape and put the sim card on the soft "pillow" on the back of the battery cover. It just barely fit and I was happy with the fit.
When I did this I also started to experience that the camera could not initialize. At first I thought it had something to do with my old SIM, and I did a test to put in my new SIM and the problem disappeared (this without my other sim between the battery and the cover) I thought I just had to live with it until I got back and could start using the proper SIM. But when I got back I switch SIM but the problem still existed. I then started to suspect that it was actually the other SIM pressing against the battery that was the culprit and as soon as I removed that the camera has been working fine.
So the only conclusion I could make is that if there is pressure on the battery that somehow causes the camera to not initialize properly.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

have the same problem. i have bsbtweaks installed but not swype.
I came accross registry keys which have softAP enable/disable keys. I searched 'softAP' wothout any results so hasitate, but new thread.
Does it work? Has anybody tried it? Can it be run on 11n mode? I want to enable it and try if it doesn't cause irrecoverable harm to the device,

I found the 2 keys with that value ("enable softAP"), and changed them both from "0" to "1", then soft-reset. I see no change in phone behavior on or off wifi, and no new options showing in settings or comm manager, so I don't know what they're supposed to do. No apparent issues in phone operation, etc.
Is there a way to temporarily disable the camera (photo + video) function of the TD2? Maybe through a registry value?
The reason is that atm i'm doing my army duty and mobiles with functional camera are not allowed when in the camp.
Try going to; HKCU\Software\HTC\Camera\DeActivate=>0
The setting may revert after soft reset though so test it.
There's no such reg entry, do you mean creating one ?
This registry was cooked into the ROM I am using.
Try installing this cab. If it hoses your camera, just remove the registry and soft reset.
