I am a freasher here, I have flashed several times with WM6.5 roms to get my camera work, I have even tried various c.cabs without success.
I need desperate help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off, welcome to XDA.
I've moved this thread to general discussion forum as its not related to rom development.
As for your issue. If you've followed this guide correctly to flash your roms, then it sounds like your camera issue is due to hardware and not software, therefore its not related to roms.
When did you camera fault first appear? Was it after flashing a rom?
If by 'not working' you mean that the zoom no longer functions then that is the same in most cooked ROM's now as they are using the camera software from elsewhere. If it totally doesn't work then as said, sounds like a hardware issue.
Hi Thnx, The Camera stopped working soon after I flashed the 6.1 rom to 6.5, since I have tried various roms and c.cabs.
I agree that it is most likely hardware issue, do u think I should try a 6.1 rom to see if it works again?
First question is what Touch HD do you have the T8282 or the T8285. Several people have had issues with their cameras here. I was able to send mine in under warranty to get it fixed, granted it took over a month to get it back but it was worth it to get my camera working again. I also tried several different roms and sometimes it would work a couple times then would disappear again. After a while changing the Roms didn't work, then I re-hardspl'ed the device and got the camera working again for a short time but that didn't even last. Eventually I sent it back to HTC and they repaired it for me. Good Luck.
Thanks for all comments, I am not going to send it back for repairs as I cannot live without it now, thinking of the HD2 on the 11th NOV maybe, but keep the suggestions coming.
HW prob, try reconnecting flat...
Not quite sure what u mean? "reconnecting flat"
Any other solutions??
Hello, I've been following this thread since I'm expiriencing the same problem. The camera on my 8282 it is simply not responding. It worked without any problems for almost a year. The only time I have flashed my phone was 3 months ago with the official ROM update realeased by HTC and nothing more. There is no way to send the phone to HTC since there is no official service representative in my country. I would like to know if there is something else that I can do to get the camera working again. Thank you in advance for the help.

well, since i've figured out that no custom rom works for me because my hermes keeps freezing a few times a day i've decided to go back to the stock rom. so what i was wondering if i need a specific rom or i can just take any?
Could be a software conflict if you are using "core" apps... I tend to but found that some apps freeze everything as soon as they're loaded & finally got my essentials through trial and error. Seem to work well now with most roms, though there have been a few crashes. Up to you to decide, find another app that works or ditch the rom....
Some roms, and remember these are mainly test roms, also cause freezes and conflicts. These are made for us by the chefs, but remember, its a hobby for them. Sometimes the builds have to revised a few times before they become stable. The chefs do an awesome job though and do try to help if you have problems. Read through the later posts as they may have solutions.
As for the Stock rom, depends on who your carrier is, if its still on THEIR site or is somewhere on XDA... Could be difficult to find...
Just remember though just because your carrier loaded their rom, they are still subject to the same problems too....
Cheers...
Dude,
Just as a point of reference, I was having some minor issues with my ROM, and I've now tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387990
Which is awesome!
Very basic, very simple, and you can load whatever you want onto it.
I'm more than happy with this, after 48hrs worth of using, and think this is the one for me.
Try it out.
I'm on Orange UK, seeming to work for me, so it depends where you are and your network (carrier) with any other problems.
well right now i'm using josh's springtime rom and before that i used his Manilla 2D and they both kept freezing and i had to keep doing hard resets. note: i send and recieve alot of text messages so that might be why its freezing.
any ideas?
well my phone has been unlocked but my carrier is Telenor and i cant seem to find the rom.
EDIT: thanks greee, i just installed the windows you suggested and its almost identical to my old one it seems to be working fast and great
Hello,
my HD2 reboots automaticly when it has some work to do (watchin flash-video withc Skyfire or using Igo8).
After about 5 minutes it reboots by its own.
some days ago it works fine.
already flashed the ROM again (Vodafone 1.72).
Has anyone any idea?
Greetz,

Hey, I got the same problem and I also mention that my GPS doesnt work either, I think there's some issue with the battery or hardware parts. I may send my phone back to store because I have been flashing many ROMs, Radios but didnt help.
I was on the phone with T-Mobile Support (611), regarding my HD2 and the issues that I am still having with this device. The rep. stated that T-Mobile is aware of the issues on the phone and that the 1st ROM update did not resolve them all and caused some new ones.
She stated specifically this new update would resolve the issue of the device hanging after you try to wake up the phone...also, the "unreliable data connection" issue is still prevalent (I still have this problem - and I have tried everything I can think of or read about). She stated that there are other fixes that they are working on to resolve with this new update.
I could not get a solid time frame, but she stated that it should be pretty quick, given that they issued the first one within a short time frame after the HD2 release.
Now, I'm not sure if this means an upgrade from 6.5 to 6.5.3, but I wouldn't count on it. I just hope it is released soon. This device is so nice and so awful at the same time. Constantly I experience little nagging issues that make using this device such a hassle.
Have you tried just flashing it to one of these custom ROMs?
No I have not yet tried the custom ROM yet on the HD2. I like the way the T-Mobile ROM are, I just am getting fed up with the "unreliable data connection" BS. Also, the phone (since the ROM update) has been running slow and I don't think that is acceptable with the 1GHz snapdragon on this device. My only other issue is that the speaker phone stops working because T-Mobile added some stupid software to the device. If you dial 611, the software pops up and tries to solve your problem via webpage and stops the speaker phone from working till you restart the device.
While that is a short list of issues, they are major issues in using the device. But I think i will wait till this 2nd update comes out...if it does not resolve my issues, custom ROM here I come!
I belive flashing NRG will solve your issues It did mine.
Which issue did it solve? The data connection issue?
Data and freezing as well not to mention the phone just flies now. flashing a new radio fixed reception issue
well I will give it a try and see if it resolves my issues as well. I figure we have about a month or so before T-mobile releases the 2nd update. I know I will not be able to last that long with these issues. It is just a pain in the a-- to flash ROMs every day...I'm not into doing it all the time. I would like to find a good stable ROM and run with it. It just takes too much time flashing and reinstalling all those programs and changing the settings to where I like them all (too much work).
Like I said it is a shame, i really like this device on paper, but in the real world is just has some serious issues. I thought i would get a year or two out of this device when i bought it, now I am already looking to swap this puppy out. I'm looking to see what is coming down the pipeline. I refuse to go with WP7 (feels like the step backwards with it limitations as compared to WM6.5 - and i don't want a device that clones the iPhone of 4 years ago)
Anyone other suggestion on custom ROMs?
NRG 21911 is very solid and you don't have to flash everyday it has xda uc and pim backup witch will back up and reinstall all your software I did it yesterday in about 20 min. I refrain from flashing during the week. the the first time it will take about an hour just read all you can on it. 670megs free space on device 13gigs on sd and 300 megs of free RAM
I'm downloading the 23121 Cookie Dinik Glass version right now...I'll let you know how it works on my device. thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate it!
tmobile rep told me the same thing after I had a warranty exchange, she said to expect the update soon as there are alot of people experiencing problems with the current software. Although to be honest after running Android on my HD2 I dont think I ever want to use winmo again.
are you getting everything to work with Android? i did not think they have a fully functional Android ROM for the HD2 yet
They're all the same...
My biggest complaint is the bad data connection. Paying too much money for crappy connection. I can't even get connection in my lower level of my house. I think every carrier and cell phones all have their own problems. My two co-workers, one with Droid and the other iPhone have similar problems. Droid keeps freezing 2 warranty phone exchanges so far and iPhone looses connection frequently. iPhone guy wishes his would freeze so he could get a replacement. So it's not just me.
Help me please
So i tried to install android, and on gthe web it said i needed to install hpsl well my phone had it set to 2.10 they stated i needed 2.08 or earlier so i did it but the install still didn't work !!! How can i return my phone back to 2.10 and still get my warranty back

i read on pocetnow that android is being worked on on xda. seen a couple of post too, but there is always some component not really working. is there an official android post where all the kinks are worked out? i would like to switch if thats the case. thanks.
Wow is all I can say about that NRG ROM....it is great! does everything I have been looking for, no data connection issues since last night (I'll report back on this issue as time goes by). It's fast and very stable (so far, but hell I'm impressed), and I did not even use most stable version the 21911.
The UI is great, I love the three pages of app slot, everything is within one or two finger stokes this way. It also gets rid of the apps that I don't want (ie TelNav, etc...) but keeps most of the apps that I do want...I can always install cabs for the programs I want from the official ROM. Plus it has cooked into it all those sweet tweaks and settings. Great work, I'm not even waiting for T-mobile to release the 2nd update any longer.
Thanks gtrplr71 again for suggesting this custom ROM, it's so nice, I don’t even think I will be trying out any other ROMs.
I would not get hopes up of a 6.5.3 upgrade. Could you imagine the Technical support nightmare if they had to troubleshoot 2 different OS versions?
This is one reason I think Android and Linux will really take off in the future.

There's a HD2 Android section in the original HD2 area (euro hd2 section).... but it is a work in progress. There are still a lot of issues and kinks. It will be a while before it works as well as a native android phone. But the progress they've made is unbelievable. It's great having both winmo and android on my phone.

your welcome don't forget to make a backup with pim backup to your sd card and use xda uc once you get things settled. Have fun!
how does the xda uc work? i could not figure that out, when I ran the app it stated that i did not have that file on my storage card...but it appeared there somehow.
Also, the incall record does not seem to work at all. when i lauch it (after I connect or before I connect a call) all I get is a blank lined page (note pad page).
And, is there a list of the added and removed apps somewhere? I could not find it in the ROM thread.
As for the 6.5.3 upgrade from T-Mobile, i don't think it will happen either and right now, after trying the NRG ROM...I don't care. I'm not even going to try the T-mobile 2nd ROM upgrade. Now with Android comes along on the HD2 (fully functional) then i will surely set up a dual boot situation on my HD2. That is like the best of both world.
(xda uc)-you wont notice anything different It will run and monitor the phone for new settings when you decide to flash a new build it will auto run and import settings and apps.

Don't know if you're still even active in these forums but just wanted to say a huge thank-you for your ROM and as I can't add a message in the developers forums yet, I wanted to add my thanks here!
It is the only custom rom I can currently DL for the S200 but it's absolutely amazing and its like being given a whole new phone to play with. Huge respect for you and your work and I hope you might not be entirely ready to give up on the phone just yet...
I do have one problem however. I flashed your rom from a "virgin" 3.003c firmware and enabled EZinput for full landscape mode. So far so good. everything worked until I went in to the camera - half screen viewfinder displayed, no icons at screen edge and (after 30-40 seconds) the display locked and no hard or soft keys were able to get me out of camera mode. I couldn't even get it to power off, I had to pull the battery and restart. I read in the developers forum that the camera is a source of problems and at one point brainmaster had posted a cab file to reinstall the acer default camera so I installed it and restarted the phone but when I went into the camera again, the exact same thing happened.
Other posts seem to suggest it may be an HTC keyboard/camera conflict but presumably many folk on custom roms got that camera to work to some degree.
Any suggestions you can offer? I don't need it to work perfectly. I don't take that many photos on the phone but I do use it occassionally and I can't use this as a daily rom if locks up every time I accidentally start the camera.
Thanks again. Really appreciate all of the hard work you've put in and this rom does really make an old device sing very sweetly once again.....

First,
I'm glad that the rom is working for you, Thanks!
second,
I'm no longer actively building after my PC's Hd mysteriously crashed and I lost everything before that I was in the process of upgrading the rom to v.1.3.5
and trying to find a solution to the problem you're experiencing now.
It has nothing to do with the keyboard/camera relationship.
The Full Rotating phone canvas I used was developed for HD2 leo, not acerS200
meaning, it uses components native to the HD2 leo in this case, it's camera,video,full screen viewer etc... our problem w/S200 is that the camera,video,picture viewer etc.. being acer components,not HTC Leo's,
function using their own specs,dimensions, and most importantly, it's own resolutions and rotation based on those size resolutions.
I was experimenting with the phone canvas to see if there was a way to separate our acer camera,vid., but lost my HD... as a matter of fact,
I'm using a V.1.3.5 beta in my phone now that has parts of different phone canvas versions i.e. Raphael,Laurentius, Parts of caller ID fixes from laurentius too. But my testing was cut short and I haven't the time or desire to start all over again, sorry
So to finally answer your question, You must " uncheck" "EZinput" under G sensor settings for the camera and video to function properly.
Maybe one day I'll replace my PC's HD and try to cook again but I'm thinking
that it may be easier to buy an "acer stream"('cause I like acer) and see what
that's like.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
I really appreciate all the effort that went in to making something as good as this but appreciate that sometimes with technology we all just need to "move on".
I'll look forward to seeing your name (and efforts) pop up elsewhere in the forums.
Cheers.
I'm having problems when using earphones from the first day I bought my Omnia7. The problem is:
Earphones are fully functional, and there are no problems with listening music etc. But, after I make FIRST phone call using earphones or after I answer the FIRST phone call, my phone becomes unresponsive within short period of time, and I don't hear other people during calls nor they hear me. So the first call triggers all this. That first call however goes through without any problems, problems come after that. I tried using several earphones with same results. After I reboot everything works fine again.
I'm pretty much sure it isn't hardware related problem since I listen to music without any problem and the first call works great every time.
I'm running the latest version of OS and I got these new drivers from Samsung few days ago, but still no improvement. Anyone here with similar problems and if so, did you manage to solve it and how?
...
Almost 300 views so far, but none reply... It can't be I'm the only one with this kind of problem?!
I have same problem! Please help
When did you guys get your phone. Where are you now, have you flashed your phone or messed with any functions with in the Diagnosis App at all.
Omnia 7 has original Rom with mango update, no modding or special things.
Finally, some activity in this thread!
I had this problem, with stock Rom and also with several custom roms, so it must be hardware related. On the other hand, it shows some signs of software related issues, so I'm still confused...
