My TYTN's front sensor doesn't work anymore

Hi,
My front cam doesn't work even with webcameraplus or when i made a video call.
It worked before i upgrade to 2.11 1.38.
Does someone have a solution to test my front sensor or maybe to activate in the registry.
Thanks

Due to security policy I have to have my cameras removed but didn't have the guts to open my Hermes yet. Thus, a Hermes without any (working) camera would be the ideal device for me (sounds strange, huh?). Mobile cams suck anyway.

If i were you i'd either downgrade to my original rom or take the ppc in for servicing.

Second Camera

Hi, my front camera doesn´t send any image, i probe whit various roms of wm6 and the last of wm5 of htc and the image is black, i probe coolcamera, and the display is black then when i select the front camera, any idea or solution?
Thanks
P.D. Excuse my english...

I`v had the same problem!
i cant even use the back camera for video calls.
taking normal pictures work just fine, it looks like the camera isn't initialized correctly.
help

my problem is just one step better than yours My front camera works and shows something, but i just can call it some thing! because it just cant be me It shows my picture but picture quality is very very low so you can not understand what is in the picture. Kinda like it needs some focus option...

Finally, my mobile operator change my device for a new, then... the second camera worked corretctly...
I´m a happy man (whit a new tytn)
Thanks!!!

is your camera button screwed??

mine is...
after pressing half to focus, of course i need to press all to take the shot right?
but when i do so.. it defocus and refocus again usually...
if not while focusing, it will stop
it is as though the button has problem... anyone else have same prob?

same thing did happens in my x1 too..
reset to default setting would fix the problem temporary, n then it start defocusing again while pressing the cam button half away down to shutter..

my camera button was like this as well....
and i got a new replacement phone after going to the service centre.
you guys should do the same too...

I am not sure if I understand your problem, so if a am wrong ignore me .
From my expierience it means that it cannot focus correctly (especially in 'manual-focus' mode), mostly due to low-light since the Xperia uses contrast-based-autofocus.
One or more 'green blocks' (on automatic focus) indicate a successfull focus, does it do that at your devices?

nah.. i am a camera user.. its not.. its a problem... but hardware or software?? returning it is a hassle sigh

if you guys are looking for a quick fix to this, simply use the optical joystick button instead of the camera button to take the pic.
on a side note, i had the same exact problem on my old k800i, i just used the joystick to take pics instead of the camera button on the side of the phone.

how do u do that?
how do u semi depress?

That's not the smartest question. You could have pushed the button quicker and seen that it's automatic.

thats not the friendliest reply... most "photographer" will need a focus lock function .. hence asked about it..
anyway i went to SE and they told me nothing wrong with my button.. maybe software.. they will refresh the whole thing...
i got owned.

updates,
refresh did not help...
so its not hardware its not software... hence?
the button is just lousy???
anyone has solutions?

when i click the camera button to open the camera it doesnt alway work either. and yh it doesnt take pictures.

All i know is that the camera sucks really really really bad!!!
Its slow on focus
its slow with taking a picture so the smallest movement make the picture blurry
its worthless in the dark
the light does not help unless its something close by.
only good thing is that i can use the light to walk around the house when its dark and i dont want to turn on the lights.
i dont understand why it sucks so bad.
sony makes good camera's
why is it so hard to make a desent camera that is fast with a flash.
other brand do it,............

mine doesnt even start-up my camera...any way to assign another key to the camera? otherwise its crap!

what i think it is the problem of the button. it is really a bad design and make it hardly to press. i have tried so many times so that i believe that it is not software problem. it is just the stupid camera button...
so, i use the "enter" button of the optical joystick to shoot instead.

the mechanics insisted nothing wrong with the button..
sigh..
using the joystick, wont u loss the feature of focus lock?

but mine is no problem. I wonder if the X1 sell in your countries have more bugs than the one sell in HK? Case cracking problems and camera problems.. and so on!!

HD2 camera problem - pink color

My phone fell down on floor few week ago and from that day my photos are pink/purple. When I start camera it show picture ok for few milliseconds and turn to pink/purple. Also when I take photo I hear some noise in camera and photo is all pink/purple. But when I take photo with flash I got photo with texuture but its pinkish. Same as with video camera. These two are takken on same location with flash and no flash.
Do you know solution for my problem. I changed few roms and problem stays.
Shoul I change hardware?
What part should I change?
Whole camera or just this square camera module?
Or any other solution...

I think it s a fault of the camera itself...You can start opening the hd2,it s very sinple to reach the camera,you have only to take off 4 screws,and controll the little cable that go to the motherboad,and take off and reinsert the camera module.If you need the camera you can contact me in pm,I have one working from a faulty hd2,and I can give it to you for really cheap.

OK thanks on answer. I already opened HD2 so its not to complicated for me. I can change parts. The problem is I dont know which parts do I need to change. So you are saying that I need to change only camera module. This one on photo bellow is camera module? Am i right?
So I ordered this camera module online..Hope that will fix the problem!

It seems that this is rare problem with camera.
IS there Anyone else that knows solution to this problem?
Grateful

Questions regarding "the camera trick"

Hi
I have a couple of questions re the so called camera trick.
Is it correct that you should activate the camera , then switch to video , let it autofocus and then press "home" key ??
If this is the case it leaves the camera running in the back ground as an "open" application. How can that conserve power ??
What is the logic behind the camera trick ???
Is it applicable to all custom roms?
All help / responses gratefully7 received

seems strange but battery drain is much lower with camera trick
seems photo camera automatically drain battery with autofocus and with switching to video this turn off photo camera autofocus and stay off when video camera active
it's applicable to all custom ROM's with radio 5.51

That's suggests the camera is always on ! Strange . Maybe it's part of the options "intelligent" phone ( cant remember the exact name and don't have my phone in front of me now) Like go silent when turned face down. If i remember correctly there's a "pocket mode" that turns the ringer volume up. Maybe the phone uses the camera to detect when its in " a pocket"
Still quite confused as to how this "trick" works !!

I read somewhere that driver for the video camera flash has a bug and keeps running in the background. The "camera trick" switches off the flash. Also, if you check after a while you'll see that camera stops running in the background.

I Dont see why we cant script in some application that will alow us to do the trick with one click?

start camera, switch to video, press focus down, and press home button (video camera must stay active in background)... best is to make buttons configuration for this... i make this: green/camera, home/home, win/focus down, back/back

going to load koval rom which comes with soft radio 5.71
i can change the radio to a 5.51 to get the camera trick but am i losing anything with an 'older' radio?
i read that i can only change the soft radio with a full reinstall, is that still correct?
thanks

only way to install software radio is flashing ROM with this radio....
no other way...

Do we have that kind of an app?
