Panarama 'disk full' error? can't take p pics - Mogul, XV6800 General

I have a HTC P4000 (Telus).
I just noticed that my when I switch to my panarama setting in the camera it says I have 0 pics left or disk full when I try to take a pic. I have plenty of room on my device and on my sdcard. But still the error.
Is there a folder I am missing? something that should be in the my pictures folder?
I am running stock REVa rom.

Still would like this to work.
anybody have the the stock registry settings for the panarama camera? is it P4?
and what settings are under that

Camera woe...

Hi folks
Has anyone had any issues with the camera crashing? This is what I get quite often trying to use the camera.... :
Press camera button on side of TyTN
turn camera on side and use screen to line up the shot.
Press camera button to take the shot... (or the centre joystick)
Camera pauses for a while then goes directly to the Today screen.
I press the camera button again and I get a message like " unable to start camera app. Camera already in use ".
the picture wasn't taken.
I can't remember the exact message... today it's working so I can't see it!
other info:
I am using a 1Gb storage card and the camera saves straight to it.
if I soft reset the device, I can go into the camera function again, but then it is likely to do the same thing.
It seems to happen at extremes of temperature - possibly hardware fault?
incidentally, I have tried this with no other apps etc. running
many thanks for any thoughts
best regards
I'm afraid this is a known fault with some handsets. You could set the quality to fine instead of superfine (I know, what's the point of having the superfine option if all it does is crash the app?!).
I now use Arktek's coolcamera app without the same problems.
Give it a try.
Thanks for your reply.
Hmm... a known fault. If this is a known fault - is this a S/W or H/W fault? I'm going to try your camera app - thanks for that !
Cheers
Rich
I just tried the coolcamera software.... that is superb. I guess I'll soon find out if this is HW or SW.. thanks AGAIN for that - brilliant app heheh
I used to have a cam problem. Usually after the i take the pics, the preview shows black screen. I have to soft-reset. Then later i found out it was the RSS reader, prss reader, that was doing this. I uninstalled and now it all fine.
My camera does not crash, but after I take a picture (the preview shows a fine picture) I go to the directory where the photo should be saved (storage card/my documents/ my pictures) but the picture does not apear!! in fact now that directory seems to be empty...
If I choose to save the picture to main memory this does not happend, just when I save to sd card...
Does anyone have an idea about what could be happening??
I'm afraid i've lost all mi pictures from SD card because even usinf file explorer o activesync the my picture folder is empty
thanks for the coments...
Im using XDA Live ROM but camera used to work fine with this rom
edit: If I rename the My documents folder in order to force camera to create a new My Documents folder, then the pics are saved to this new folder an they apear in... the same happens if I only rename the My pictures folder... the weird thing is that after picture is saved in the new folder, if I make changes to go back to save them to the old folder pictures are not saved again...
hi have this problem too.
but somitimes with my pda, before exiting to today where i make a photo, it make it , but completly black.....
other times , it exit to the today directy ...
there's not difference between memory card or internal storage, but I notice the problem is the resolution and the subject: if i shot with 640 or 1mp there isn't the problem ... and if i shot a mountain landscape the problem is more present.
maybe there's a software bug to manage "big" photo.
now i'm trying coolcamera.
Hi,
I had this problem last week while I was taking some photos with the 2M setiing for the quality. I save the photos on the microSD card. When the problem has repeated itself after one SR, I have thought that the problem could come from the SD card. I have verified the card using the FlashFormat maintenance program and since then I have not met again this "Camera software is already launched" problem, even using the 2M quality. Maybe this could also help you.
Regards,
Murat
Wow - it seems that this is a common one. There are several issues regarding the standard camera app, it seems:
1) The camera takes a black (or dark grey) picture and saves it in the correct place as a black (or dark grey) image.
2) The camera takes a picture, then crashes... like I described in the initial post
3) Image files being stored anywhere other than in the correct place.
I have experienced the first two issues, but not the last one.
The only thing I can really say about this is that the coolcamera application has been working fine since I installed it the other day. I have been using the camera quite frequently in different environments (for work, honest) ans it has yet to crash.
I notice that with Coolcamera, when you exit it, you exit it... so it's not left running in the background somewhere. this isn't the case with the standard camera app.
I'm going to try it out for a week and see if I get any of the above issues.
About cool camera...
I'm not quite sure but 2 other people has confirmed that they had the same issue that I post ... and both of them star having this problem after instaling coolcam (like me) ...
Really I don't know if this problem was caused by installing and uninstalling coolcam ...it seems this app has been working very good for other people here.
What the other 2 guys did was a hard resent then a restore from all the programs and they said it solve everything...I just haven't do it yet; just change the directory to which pictures are saved...
I have a problem with mine as well, but it's a bit different. My camera works, but it acts like it is stuck in 16 color mode. Very strange looking. After going through all the soft-reset, hard-reset, take the battery out and hard-reset steps of support, they decided it is a hardware problem and they are sending me a new phone (it's only 2 weeks old). I have yet to hear anyone else with this problem anywhere.

Hi there,
I have the similar problem "Camera software is already launched" as well as lost video and photos. Really pity to loose vacation memories
I have 2 questions:
1. You mension FlashFormat maintenance program. Where can I get this?
2. I installed coolcamera and wonder if I can uninstall the default camera application in some way? This question is probably for all users regarding this post.

Hi Roqin,
I have bought this soft from CNETX. You can check it at :
http://www.cnetx.com/format/
If you have SKTools, it also has a function for checking the flash card. You can also check the card using a card reader connected to your PC (not very convenient if you have the problem on the road, of course ;-) ).
I hope this helps.
Murat
Thanks Murat
I will check it. Wonder if anybody has answer on my Q2?

Problem saving photos

I just noticed that I can't save any photos, but videos recorded with camera works just fine.
I copied all my photos to my computer and deleted all photos from storage card but still no luck. In camera settings storage card is selected and same thing in advanced config. I also uninstalled advanced config to see if there was some conflict but that didn't help either.
I also tried to search photos that i took with Resco Explorer but it seems that photos just aren't saved in anywhere.
Camera program works just fine to the point when picture is taken but after that there is this "multicolor waiting circle" which tells you that WinMo is doing something and the phone freezes about 30 second until it comes back to camera application, but nothing has actually been saved.
I know that Hard reset might fix the problem, but that's the last solution I wanna try.
photo's should be saved where the default Album location is set to, try changing that to the Device\My docs folder..?

They're all in default settings:
Save Location: DCIM
Encode Photos in portrait mode: Yes
Capture Key Delay: Enabled
Key Delay : Enabled
Capture Key Delay Time: 1500
Help anybody?
Just noticed that every other picturemode works just fine, but normal photo mode freezes the device
Well, i had the same problem an i thought it was a problem with the rom update or something like that. But the problem was: i had a DCIM map on my storage card. Strange, because this is the good location but no photo's was saved in here (only on the device self if i had select it). I deleted the map and tried it again to make a picture. And that was the solution. The camera made a new DCIM map and now the pictures are saved on the storage card again.
Camera save problem solved
to avoid problems in saving new photo you have to have this directory structure:
soragecard/DCIM/100MEDIA
open the card with a PC
delete the album file (it is like the thumb db on windows) to see the file you have to set show hidden file
insert the card in the phone and you are ok

unable to save photos
In my case I'm not able to save at all, regardless of what resolution I'm using! Any idea on how to solve it?
sorry to push this old thread,
but now that my touch hd finally arrived i had the same problem, saving the image is not possible, the wait cursor appears, after some minutes disappears and the image wasn't saved.
now i found the malefactor: in schaps advanced config under camera you should change the "encode pictures in landscape (90°)" option. default was set to "NO", so leave it or change it back to it.
i hope this is useful!

Photo Camera problem

Hello, i have a little problem, i couldn't find any thread with these contents..
but, here's the problem:
Whenever i take a normal photo, on any resolution.. it won't save the file after i took a picture and my HD won't respond for a minute, when i try to see the photo it isnt there..
Does anyone know what might have happened? it's pretty annoying
Much thanks, Cb
Sounds like it is having a problem finding the file it is supposed to save the images to. Have you added any new programs or changed any settings recently? Where are you storing the images, device or storage card? Check if you have set these to hidden or read only.

yes it does sound like your folder location may be missing use your file explorer and see if DCIM folder is in storage card inside DCIM should have a folder called 100MEDIA
Well, the folders are there since i selected to save it on the storage card.. and no i havent changed any settings to the camera, and it still does the same thing been trying to figure it out but it wont work at all
If you haven't changed any settings to the camera, have you changed any settings in any other programs or installed any new programs? What ROM are you using?
I'm using the stock rom, 1.14.404.3 (22273) NLD, last program i installed before it went to act strange was spore origins

At a guess I would say that spore origins played part in messing things up. First try telling the camera to save to the device and see what happens. If it is still messed up then you may have to hard reset. If it does work when you tell it to save to the device then take what you need off the storage card and re-format it, then that should fix your problem.
if you have installed "advanced config" utility please check under camera settings if you have "encode photos in portrait mode" option enabled
if yes, unable it.
this can make your phone to stuck or delay whenn you take a picture
good luck!

[Q] Redirecting My Documents and My pictures to Storage Card does not seem to "stick"

[Q] Redirecting My Documents and My pictures to Storage Card does not seem to "stick"
Hi,
got my HD2 yesterday and have been toying since to set it up the way I'm used to with my previous Touch Pro and TytnII before that.
This shows again how spoiled we've been with excellent roms like the Energy Series!
I'm using the same 4GB microSD card I had on the TouchPRo since all my pictures etc are on there but I can't get the pictures displayed in the picture tab of Touchflo.
I redirected all relevant 'location' folders using Advanced Config but after soft reset, the HD2 is still displaying the demo pictures that come with the phone.
New pictures get stored on the storage card, but in the DCIM folder although I also specified the store location to be 'My Pictures'.
I tried both the pre-defined storage card locations in Advance Config, as well as the browse option to go to the relevant folder.
I though maybe it is because I have the Dutch HD2 version (yes, I could not wait as the WWE is only available on the 13th) but I checked and the storage card is named 'storage card', not some Dutch translation.
Anybody have any pointers where I could change this?
thanks a lot.
DicE
nobody who could help me? Been looking into the registry past couple of days at HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\image; HKLM\Services\Picture etc... every key seems to point to the right locations; but still when I take a picture, it doesn't show up in the TouchFlo3D interface...
help anyone?
DicE
the manual says that you must add a "album" as "favorite album" to show the pics in manila on todayscreen. maybe this is the solution?

I'm not sure this is what you're asking, but here's a quote from the manual:
Captured photos are named using the convention IMAGnnnn.jpg (where ‘nnnn’ is the counter), and are saved to the \DCIM\100MEDIA folder on the storage card.
and
To set a favorite album
The Photos & Videos tab on the Home screen displays photos and video files from the current favorite album. By default, the Camera Shots album which stores the photos and videos you captured using the Camera is set as the favorite album. You can change to another favorite album, if preferred.
1. On the Albums main screen, tap Albums.
2. On the Albums tab ( ), tap the album you want to set as your favorite.
3. Tap Menu > Set Album as Favorite, and then tap OK.
It looks to me like the pictures can be stored on the card, but only in one location and you must specify the location.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your question (I don't have an HD2 to play with yet).
-Bob-
@rebecker - you have almost miss understood The OP wants the Camera software to SAVE the photos into \storage card\My Documents\My Pictures - this does not work, none of the usual reg key changes work.
Default camea picture folder - DCIM vs My Pictures
I also have a similar problem. I've changed HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general\EnableDCIM = 0, so that I can use date/time prefix.
After the change, the HTC Album recognize \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures as the default camera folder. However, when I actually took a photo it went to DCIM folder... Not a big deal, but it is just a little annoying.
Any expert here know how to solve this?
Exactly the same problem. The camera saves its shoots to DCIM\100media, and not to My pictures, even if DCIM = 0...
I have 1.43 rom and I have also wanted to change default my picture and my documents folder to the folder on storage card. I didn't made it.
For the photo tab...yes I wanted few thing here too...because everytime I've set the favourite album to the storage card/photos...that was reset everytime I've connected hd2 to pc or when i removed microsd card and put it back...
The only way that I kept my favourite album fixed was with not connecting with usb or removing the card.
Ok...it takes only few seconds to change the favourite album back, but it is very annoying that hd2 doesnt remember the folder...
looks like live mesh mobile works pretty good.
I did something stupid and installed it on the storage card. I'm going to do a whole new install, and try on device to see if there's a difference. I got an error about invalid config, blah blah. it seems to loop on sync since i got the error, but the documents appear to sync anyhow.

[Q] Can't Geotag photos

Anyone successfully do this? I enabled GPS in the camera settings, after a few seconds I get a little pop-up that says the camera found the GPS location, but no location data is saved on the file. I uploaded it in Picasa and there is no info there and I also looked in the properties of the file on my computer.
Maybe I'm getting a GPS lock but its not accurate enough for the camera to save it onto the picture? Anyone else get it to work?
