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:

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

can't help you or tell you the reason because you are not giving enough details about what you are trying to install, what is going wrong. How are you trying to install. Exe or .cab files. are you just getting error's during the installation
i tried to install .cab & .exe , but it says install unsuccessful, for example SPB & Battery status
mmmm
On what ?... is the cab on the phone or on the PC ???????
i tried both , but i couldnt
You have the HTC Touch Elf right? No cabs at all are instaling on your phone.
Possibiliites:
1. The cab files are being currupted either while you are downloading them or while you are sending them to your phone. FYI Cab files are to be installed via your phone not PC. Transfer the complete cab to phone and just click it to install - Do Not Unzip it. (A cab file looks like it is a zip file or a rar file wen it is on your PC but don't be fooled. it is a cab and does not need to be unzipped) you will only see a bunch of messy files and will just get confuzed. just place the cab on your phone and tap it with your stylus to initiate install
Exe's are to be installed via your PC to your phone through activsinc. place the exe on your desktop (Or wherever) and connect your phone to your PC using Activsinc. Then click the exe on your desktop and follow installation instructions - NOte you will have to still do some clicking on your phone to allow the installation.
2. you are not installing them properly and therfore follow instructions above.
3. your phone is currupt somehow (I don't see how) Try a hard reset and see if the programs will install after that. if not, you might want to return your phone for warranty (I am assuming you just got this phone and this is the first time you are trying to install something.
4. Maybe you have run out of room on your device to install any more applications (if you have been installing tons of other stuff successfully)
I have never gotten any errors installing cabs or exe's exept for when I was trying to install something that my phone did not support. (Not a valid WM application) or something like that.
Edit: You still are not give us much information - What type of error are you getting - What does your phone show/tell you?
Does it start to install and fail half way through? does it not start at all? does it install and the programs just do not run?
Tell us what program you are trying to install - what error you are getting and when you are getting it. Tell us the method you have used to install it etc....
If you want help you will have to provide us with as much information and detail as you can. Otherwise - Good Luck.
I will check back here regularly to see your response and try to help, but if you don't give us much more detail - no one will be able to help you.
Did you flashed your ROM recently?
it start to install and fail half way through, but not all of the softwares , for example i cant install tcpmp,wm router , battery status , and alot of softwares , the error is always the same ( it start to install and fail half way through)

I don't know about battery status or wm router but TCPMP is an exe type installation. if you try to install this using your phone by putting the TCPMP installation on your phone and clicking to install, it won't work. You have to put the installation file on your computer, connect your device to your computer through activesinc. then click the TCPMP Installation on your desktop and follow instructions. Make sure you accept installation on your device when your device asks. The others may be the same
i did like that , but nothing changed , same message , install unsuccessful

Are you trying to install to your storage card or to device? Are you certain that you have enough storage space left?
Do you have any problems with Activsinc?
Have you tried downloading another copy of TCPMP - Maybe the copy you have is no good.
yeh , i tried on both storage and device memory , i have 1.5 gb remaining on storage also
my active sync is working in perfect condition, i dont know wht happend , ok , is there anything that i can upgrade my phone ???

I don't know if I can help you with this problem. I have never had any problems installing anything onto my device even when the app wasn't compatible. usually still installed, just wouldn't run. I am still using official stock WM 6.0 rom that came on my device. (have not ever flashed a new ROM or Radio and don't know anything about that. If you did flash a new ROM or radio, that could be what is causing your problems and you may want to examine in the thread where you got your ROM or Radio from for answers or to see if anyone else is having the same difficulties. Perhaps PM the person who cooked the ROM. If you havn't flashed any new ROM or Radio, then maybe you changed something in your registry that you shouldn't have with a registry editor (just a thought - don't know if you have ever done this) or maybe you have an app on your phone that is causing conflict when trying to install other apps. You can always try a hard reset of your device (if you don't mind starting from scratch again customizing your device) and then try installing TCPMP and see if it works right after a hard reset. That would suggest either something was changed in your registry or that another app was causing conflict. Bit of a pain in the a## having to reinstall everything(unless you don't have much installed on your device) and still no guarantee that it will work. Before doing a hard reset, you might want to look into backing up your device. (I don't know anyting about backing up - what program to use or how much it can back up such as setting or such but you might want to check it out. Also make sure you sincronize your device with your computer prior to hard reset so that all your contacts, appointments etc... are up to date that way after a hard reset you can just syncronize your device again and get your contacts and appointments etc... back.
If anyone else has any suggestions here -- Please feel free to jump in. I know that I would be really annoyed not being able to install new apps to my device.
Good luck. I hope this gets figured out for you
Rod
i had the same problem, it was unbelievably frustrating, i had to restore my X1i to factory settings, that fixed the problem.
I think you should follow hotrod101's suggestion and do a hard reset. Its quite likely that your phone has malfunctioned or something. It's probably going to save you a lot of work in the long run. Or turn in your device in one of the HTC service centers as already stated. Don't forget to back all your stuff up first.
Good Luck.
thanx alot
you did not say whether your rom is original or coked as i met some problems with cocked roms in installing arabic based applications that was easily installed before flashing me device
Did you get things figured out - If so please share with the rest what you did to solve your problem, in case others are having similar problems. Did one of our suggestions help or did you find another solution?
same problem on my Touch Pro, seams to be common ... some say that it is due to the fixed number (50 installed programs) on the touch flue ... however, I have no more information of how did they got this result, or what is the registry of this issue???
I hope if someone help on this to avoide us the headache cused by hard reset, just thinking about it make me crazy.
even hard reset is not a solution.
Hello Friends,
I am just about to throw my TC out the window.
I am sorry to say that I am very disappointed, although I don't understand why, I read many people very happy with their TC and mine ***SUCKS***.
I have received my phone (second hand) about 3 months ago, and it was with Original WM 6.1 rom.
After a few days of usage I have had to (follishly I think) install a cooked rom, the first was UDK's, after a few tries I came accross Khanx and others..
Since then my life has become a catastrophy, every 1-2 days I have to hard-reset and re-inall everything, I have tired to use SPB Backup, but when I try to restore there are a lot of problems and the device just won't work properly.
I have tried a few times to install back the Original WM 6.1 but it does not help.
I am syncing my "Contacts" and "Calendars" "Tasks" etc even had "Notes", but sometime not all of the contacts go in, sometimes the unit freezes, resetting it just deletes all the information.
A few weeks ago, I installed the Khanx 1.4 full, and the unit operated for a few days without any problem, all contacts were in and all calendar was in, stopped using the Microsoft Notes and bought PhatNotes to use with it.
A few days of ahppiness and then suddenly again the unit froze and hard-reset it self and "voila" since then again, installing trying to sync and hard reseting, frezing etc etc.
A few days working with WM 6.1, but after installation there is always a color problem with the minutes on the Home Screen, again a few days working with this problem but once again the unit hard-reset itself one f... day and all the contacts/clanedar etc gone.
Is there anyone out there that could maybe hint me to what is my problem, is it the unit, the roms, the radio (which believe me I have tried all of them).
H E L P M E P L E A S E .
Why hard reset? soft reset dont work?
What programs do you install? i use UdK R4. try to use it without installing extra programs.
If you have to hard reset again. write down everything you do. maybe some other program is broken
TC Problems.
Well actually it is not me Hard Reseting it is the TC doing it on itself, ofcourse I can soft reset.
I have had also a issue with the soft reset, after which usually I looose the radio signal completely, tried many radio's while keeping the last one 1.59.42.15 which had the best signal.
Well actually the last rom I used was UDK R4, installed and everything was ok till I tried to sync with the computer, I have about 510 contacts and I get syncced only 380 (this issue was and is why I did not continue working with UDK release).
I am going to write down from tomorrow morning a small diary and post it for people to see what I really do and maybe just maybe someone will find the fault.
Thanks.

I don't Know of this advise will help, but I noticed that a lot of settings from older ROM's will stay in the memory. So you have to clean your device severall times (hard reset) before shooting a new ROM.
Try to install your apps en data on your SD card. There are programs to move your data to the SD in that way you don't have to install them new again -(pocket mechanic)
Good luck !!
@irsw
You have not mentioned whether or not you installed HardSPL 1st, ie. before you tried the cooked ROM's ??
delete the phones details from active sync and then name the phone something else before re-syncing it to the PC. It seems to me that this is a sync issue. do you sync the phone to more then one pc or even charge it from more then one PC?
I know this has been covered loads, but im not exactly a computer genius but ive been at this for 4 hours now and its getting annoying...
ive installed the LEO70 rom on my HD2 installed chevron and Tom XAP installer and dev. tool kit etc following all the guides i could find...
Now when i go to unlock it in chevron it only gives the option to re-lock so i assume its already unlocked (ive tried re-locking it and un-locking again which failed so i re flashed...thank god for hspl and magloader....)
the problem is when i try to install any of the XAP stuff the tom XAP installer says:-
error connection: make sure phone is unlocked
and make sure usb is connected and zune is connected
yes yes and yes.....
im now super confused and wondering why i bothered lol,
im running XP by the way and havent been able to get an activation code yet....
Am i being stupid or have i done something obviously wrong??
again sorry for posting about a well covered subject but i still cannot find an answer to my problem
thanks for any help
Just to add, now the thing keeps resetting itself hard reset style lost all my contacts etc time and date etc ,
Could it be a duff rom causing all this?
well the resetting is a common SD issue, your card isnt compatible
as for XAPs, i dont use that, i use the appliaction deployer with the development tools, however i do know that if i try and do it without admin mode it will not work
course, your still using XP as well which complicates things a bit and again its not something i use any more so i cant be of any more help im affraid.
your SD issue tho is fixable, you could try formatting the card first in a digital camera or you will need to get a new card.
Go for a class 2 or 4 card, ignore any threads saying "this card works" yes it works for them but perhaps not for you, its very much down to luck
Thanks for the advice bud, I've popped the sd card out and it seems to be more stable bow but my main problem is the unlocking, is there any alternative software to unlock? And what developer loading thing do you use if not Tom xap loader ( I'm having trouble finding alternatives to try

Did you get the windows phone developer tools installed?, i think your post said you did, in your start menu you will find a menu for Windows Phone developer Tools, in there you will see an application deployment program
I use that but i have to run it in Admin mode, once its started it allows you to install an XAP to a emulator or a device, select a device (make sure its connected to zune) and locate the XAP.
ive never used that tom installer thing so cant really help you much with that.
as for the SD thing, without an SD it will lag quite a bit, buy what you can afford and dont buy something you wouldnt mind turning in to a tiny wee paper weight, ie dont go folk out for 32GB card when it might not work, 8 seems to be a good size to price card, again stick to a class 2 or 4
oh i forgot to ask, did you use one of the pre-unlocked ROMs out there or did you use the original DFT one?
got the dev tools yes, didnt know where it went though or what it did lol....
i tried it withouth the SD and it still changed the time and stuff all by itself (assuming it crashed in my pocket)
the rom i used is called HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, i dont know how to tell if they were pre unlocked etc (i did look but couldnt see anything) is there any rom you would recommend?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
try that one, i dont normally suggest modded ROMs the DFT one is fine, but if someone is having issues with unlocking then they are much easier to get working
right i got another ROM from the development section (ill try that one next if i have problems) loaded that up got it all working with the missus laptop (windows 7 instead of xp) got all my contacts on there and even got the activation code through microsoft support chat.... runs smooth etc now i just need a new sd card (its crashed once already and im running an old 2gb card)
the thing that does my head in with the crashing is that it sets the clock to 00:00 and the date to 1980!!! gotta get a new card soon as i use my phone as my alarm to get up for work... doh....
Thanks for the support though bud, much appreciated,
one last thing, when i get the new card i take it i cant just take one out and put the other in as if i boot without my sd card the phone has no settings or contacts etc..... do you have to copy the card info accross or something??

technically its possible to use a partitioning program to clone the old SD card to the new one, ive not tried it, i think for the sake of simplicity, i would just reinstall it, you will lose you programs and SMS messages, paid for programs are still paid for, but you will need to locate them of the marketplace again.
Hi
I have a Huawei u8800 with a rooted stock ROM(thats what its called when its the ROM that came with the phone right?) 2.2.1. It seems that sometimes it doesn't find the apps from my sdcard, the apps i have as shortcuts only show as green and white things and when i try clicking on them it says i should restart my skin(GoLauncher EX). But it seems like its only the apps the phone doesnt find not the sd card itself. I can see how much space it is on the card in the settings and how much that is free, and it also remembers what skin i use on my beautiful widget's home widget. This only happens most of the times tho. Sometimes after ive rebooted it suddenly all is fine. I've tryed to put my sd card into another phone and that worked perfectly and i tryed to put another sd card into my phone and that worked fine to. So i have no idea where the problem is. The times it doesnt find the sd card i cant choose to use mass-storage when i plug it in my computer either. I't can find the sd card tho if i boot into recovery(i have CWN 5 installed) and choose mount USB storage and plug it to the computer with USB i suddenly find the sd card on the computer but when i reboot it again it doesnt work. So i have no idea it its the SD card that doesnt work, the SD card reader or if its a software problem.... I also have randow reboots. As you see im totally lost
Any help would be appreceated!
Hi theminikiller,
This is a note bug of Huawei U8800 / U8800 Pro.
Sometimes the external sdcard is not correctly mounted at the bootstrap and if you have installed application on your external sdcard, you cannot open them.
In my case I have installed Sygic GPS Navigation and maps are stored on the external sdcard. Sometimes it happens that my U8800Pro doesn't mount the sdcard and Sygic, of course, asks me to download again maps.
This bug is not fixed and the only workaround is to reboot Android.
The simple action that you reboot in recovery is always a "reboot".
So if you meet again the bug, it's not a must to enter into recovery mode but you can simply reboot.
I don't know if Froyo has a reboot entry in the power menu (holding the power button), but you can download and install an interesting apk named AN Reboot.
With this application (very light and fast) you can reboot in a short time.
Anyway, since you have this bug, please have a look here at my discussion where there is a poll: please vote!

Thank you for the reply!
It didnt help rebooting for me, does it help every time i reboot or do i have to try a few times? This is probobly a stupid question but what is apk? xD i tryed googling AN Reboot but didnt find anything so if you could give me a link that would be usefull.
I dont know if it is any connection between it but this happened to me the same day as i upgraded the google marked to google play.
Have you tryed to factory reset the phone? If not im thinking about trying that. I was thinking about sending the phone to the shop where i bought it to see if they could fix it. Or isnt this a fixable problem? Well if they cant fix it ill get a new phone so its a win win situation for me

An apk file is an application, usually downlodable from Google Market.
AN Reboot is still on Google Maket, but I can provide a link for you, here:
Hmm didnt find it on the market, well doesnt matter when i got the download from you xD so i just copy that into my phone memory to install it?
