Hello,
I am facing a problem with both cameras on my HD.
there is a color disturbance, something like 256 colors mode, or pink noise instead of true colors.
I have searched the forums but this was the closest case
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310509&page=3
No one reports a problem like this on the HD
here is the example photo
Thank you in Advance
Wow thats a good one. What have you done to try and resolve this so far?
I would do a Hard reset, Flash an Official updated 1.56 ROM then i would look at sending it back as it could be a camera failure.
I would suggest using a Custom ROM but to be fair if the Stock doesnt work then there is a fault with the Phone sorry.
This problem was first introduced when i flashed Duttys 6.5 R8 ( i am not saying that its a Rom's Fault)
After that, I have flashed several 1.56 roms: Miris, NRG6.5 and Dutty 6.5 rom, but without any difference.
The problem occurs on both cameras. Main and video call.
These are 2 fotos, taken with:
MAIN Camera
VIDEO CALL camera
I assume that there is something wrong on the camera's video codec (if something like that exists) that is hardware and Rom irrelevant
Any ideas?
as i said in my other Post have you tried going back to a stock ROM. I am a HP Warranty partner and 1 of the things we do is when ever we have a software fault is to make them put back the HP build as we know this works.
I would try this and if it doesn't work Give HTC a call
may be a SPL and ROM version mismatch can cause this tooo?
Check if you have the latest SPL..
Thanks for the replies,
yesterday the problem just disappeared (without changing any rom, spl, anything else)
i don't know what to say, hope that does not appear again..

Hy everyone i`m new on this part of XDA forum,I just bought my self a HTC Tytn and i have some prb with it.Sometimes the display suddenly turns white but i don`t know why even when i press long power button,in the menu i have the camera shortcut but when i try to access her it just won`t open the camera,the signal allways changes rare when it stays full signal.I have the official wm6 ROM eng what can i do?
You appear to be suffering the dreaded whitescreen... There are a heap of different things that seem to cause this and it can be a royal pain to fix as there may be multiple causes (do a search for whitescreen hermes). If you bought 2nd hand then thats why...
As for the camera, a Hard reset or different rom may fix this as long as the camera hasn't been jarred loose off the mainboard contact. You'd need to open to fix that.
Cheers...

When i bought it it had wm 6 black 2.0 and still didn`t work after that i put the official wm6 ROM but still don`t work i openit and the camera it is still on the main board i don`t know what to do with it none of the 2 cameras works
Did you check the camera was plugged in correctly. It is quite easy to remove and can look attached when in fact it isn't. Refer to the HTC service manual to pull it apart properly.
Cheers...
i took it off and then put it at her place again but still doesn`t work the OS sees her but i can`t access her
i just flash the latest spl 2.03 but when i enter the bootloader it shows me..
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Oli pro
does it show correctly?
...sorry for my bad english...:">
Its ok you have HardSPL
With this you can Upgrade whatever you find in your way jajajaja
Try to search there is outside a Thread related to this trouble White screen.
But make sure you Hard SPL your Hermes again to 2.10 olipro. Hard SPL V7...
i did it thanx for the support guys so now i got...
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.60.Olipro is this a good spl?
Even that!!!
How can you change to 2.XX.Olipro?
If you were 1.40.Olipro!!!!!!! i want to do this too!!!!!!
BTW does it have a high difference? and the IPL what? does I need to upgrade it too?
i just run the RUU the ipl i whant to upgrade but i ain`t sure that this can be posible..differences betwen the other one oli pro`s SPL i can see any untill now but i`m sure it has to be some i saw that the differences betwen the version`s are poasted on the spl thread so...i don`t think that the differences can be seen
Hi people, I hope you can help me. On the first call, everything works fine, then the speaker start emitting noise and if I make another call, I can not ear the voice of the people i called and they can not ear me. I've tried different radio version and different rom (now I'm with the original one). The problem started after i've installed khanx's rom, but i don't think is something related to it. what can I do?
thanks for your help
Hi, I believe is also related to radio. If not, i suggest to test a different ROM with its recommended Radio.
good luck.
done everything also installed original radio, original rom and original spl. nothing!!!
just sent it to repair center
Because I tried allmost anything I would like to share this info!
Main problem: after using the phone for a while and doing many flashes of rom, radio, spl and so on.... I suddendly experianced trouble with my rear camera.
I had only a black screen and error messages like:
- could not initiaise camera
- could not get frame data from camera
The tricky part is that it sometimes does work, so at first you keep searching for a software solution. Well just trust me.. there isn't any if you have the same problem as I have.
I did allmost anything (i did not send it back to HTC and did not disassamble the phone)
I tried allmost every rom including radio, no final results!
Did the softwarefix (nadavi), batterytrick, sd-card removal, folder deletetrick and so on...
So this is my final trick, and it did work so far, but it only shows the root of the problem: HARDWARE!!
I restored the roms including the SPL to HTC WM6.1 SPL 3.13 (making it ready for warranty return)
I did a hard-reset to wipe anything, removed the sim and sd-card during flashing... so far no result with the camera!
THAN I was getting a bit pissed off because I'm having this problem for months now,.. so now I'm getting to the strange solution..
I did (gently) squeeze the phone with my hands like it was a dirty towel while having the camera.exe running and suddently.. -> PICTURETIME!!
So something inside the phone was not connected the way it should be and squeeze the phone can (did) fix it (pherhaps temporary we will find out...).
Just try if you don't have warranty or send it back to HTC!
But don't spend time changing rom's.
i have the same problem
a black screen and error messages like:
- could not initiaise camera
- could not get frame data from camera
I will "donate" money to someone, if they can get my camera working?

TC,
What's wrong with your camera? Is it physically broken? I doubt you'd have to donate just to get help. Just post your problem.
Cheers.
I did post my problem. I got a few people who say they have the same problem but no one has a fix. I just cant get the program to initialize

I noticed your using MIRI ROM 6.5 Manila 2.5
Have you tried another ROM?
Or go back to 6.5 2.1 see if camera still has probs
Manila 2.5 does have known bugs and is not perfect yet
Worth atry then you will know if its the camera or ROM
the problem started with duttys wm6.1 rom with manila 2.1, I also tried a few wm 6.5 roms with manila 2.1
Have you tried to flash an Official ROM? Or install a new camera cab?
D'rath
yes I have tried to do both of those. I even tried the stock blackstone camera

You said that the camera gives you an error message that says "Failed to initialize..... etc..."? Did it have anything in there about a certificate error or component missing error?
I know this may be a long shot but have you ever dropped the phone or gotten it wet? If so then you may have jarred something inside the phone or fried an essential circuit for the camera to function.
I would suggest flashing a stock ROM including radio and see if that helps at all.
I have never had a problem with my HD's camera short of it being really laggy under poor lighting conditions. I'll keep a lookout for a fix for this.

I am not the 1st owner but it shows no sign of watter damage. It did get set down next to a tool magnet once. I have never dropped it.
I did take it all the way back to a stock SPL and the newest stock rom, didn't help. I have had to diferent people tell me they have the same issue and once more I found who posted before me about the same issue. He had a fix but it didnt work for me.
Last night I did a full tear down and see no damage to any of the parts but that doesnt say much

That is really weird... I've personally never had a "Failed to initialize" error before. Usually it is just a certificate error that I get after I screw up a ROM build and it's never related to the camera.
Since you already restored the stock SPL and the whole 9 yards, I strongly suggest contacting HTC's repair department and see if they have any advice or can repair the device for a fee. I have a good friend who dropped his Touch HD in a glass of milk and the phone worked fine afterwards but he was unable to use the actual Touch Screen as the Digitizer was toast. He sent it in to HTC to have it repaired and if I remember correctly, received it back yesterday, like new.
Good luck to you man, hope you can get it figured out or are able to have the device fixed if it turns out to be a physical problem and not software related.
Best of luck,
Dan.
really? even though it is an HD in USA? Did he call the HTC in the US?
After a rom update my camera worked like in screenshots..Thought it may be a rom problem, but i saw it in another 3 roms too..! Nobody reported such problem in the roms thread so it must be me..
Maybe a bad flash or something?? Always doing hard resets after flashing etc.. It is also getting sometimes back to normal colours and working ok..but most of the time works like this.. What can i do?
( when i changed the stock case with one from ebay that did hold the hd firmly from the top the camera mostly behaved ok..that made me fear that it is maybe a faulty camera in my phone..but again..it worked like charm for months, and gone like this after a certain rom update..)
HELP!
sure you dont have an effect selected in camera options.
Of course not..!
Tried to change that made the camera work in the beggining but now it doesnt..
I thought the same as nokiaman at first but, looking closer, it looks more like a complete missing colour or maybe the white balance not working?
Its like setting your pc screen to 16 colours..!
looks like something a factory reset would fix
Yes but it doesnt!! Thats my point my friend!! Only thing left to try is mtty or mmty or how they call it but afraid to try!
Thats why i am asking for some pro advise!
