Couldn't find or open 'compass' driver - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

After i changed my old HD2 because of a demage, i had a problem with the new one. With every android image the automatically display rotation doesn't work. For testing i installed a original htc windows image with and without t-mobile branding, and on both images the rotation works. Because of that, the sensor can not be damaged.
When i look with adb to the logcat log, there comes a message
"Couldn't find or open 'compass' driver"
Did anyone have an idea, what i can do to fix this problem?
Regards
stespi

After i reinstalled Windows Mobile i looked at the browser and the rotation works. Then i looked the original compass app, and theres a big problem. The compass stays ever on 5812°(!?!) degree. Because of that i brought it to T-Mobile to change it. It is the second change. Hopefully the next HD2 will not have the same problem.

Camera button not working - Cannot find '' (or one of ...

I recently unlocked a friend's XDA II (the profile details are for this XDA) kudos on a good piece of work.
Thing is, the camera has stopped working.
When the camera button on the side is pressed, the following error message is generated:
Code:
"Cannot find '' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available"
I don't have much experience with the XDA II so don't know where to look to see if the camera software is installed, or how to re-install it. There are no obvious mentions of the camera in the settings tabs or the like.
Any help or advice on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Camera button
The camera button points to "\windows\Camera.exe"
If you don't have that program the camera will not work.
You sould also check the button settings in the settins menu.

How I got camera to work
The problem came to light when ikki suggested I look for the executable, of course it wasn't there. I then realised the cause for this was that I had cancelled the initial setup apps that ran after the hard reboot so that I could get to the unlocking screen quickly.
It turns out these initial tasks never try ro run again, so the device hadn't had all the bells and whistles strapped on. A hard reset and letting the user proceed through the intial setup solved this problem and installed the custom O2 settings.
Thanks for the help.

Camera problem

A strange problem has suddenly appeared.
When I start the camera, after a while performing the loading icon, the cycle in the center of the screen showing that the device is working, the following error appears :
Unable to start preview mode. Internal error 36001:101:1
Has anyone got any clue?
I use the camera rarely, and since the last time I used it, I have installed and uninstalled various applications.
Sound really strange to me, so any clues will be appreciated !
The problem may come from some pisture viewer software such as Resco or spb imageer.
That program is set to use as default viewer for picture image.
The resolution for this problem that i can think is install CAMERA again by extract file from Ext ROM and install again in your device.
or You may try hard reset first. If problem still occur .you may need to flash ROM again.
It may also be caused by a movie player or something that uses the ATI hardware chip. Does the error only occur after you have played a movie or something? Try closing all running applications prior to starting the camera and see if that helps (if you have a movie player running, close it using its own exit option so that it 'tidies up').
Failing that, does the camera start OK after a soft reset?

I have none of the applications you mention installed on my device.
I even deselected all applications from my today screen, soft reseted the device and still have the same problem.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
Certainly sounds strange :? What version of ROM have you got installed?
Perhaps re-installing the Camera app will fix it. This is in the Extended ROM.
I have 1.72 installed.
I agree with you.
I think I will have to reinstall the camera application

Windows Mobile Event Viewer

I dont think one exists( ive searched) but im wondering what the feasability of an "event viewer" type app for wm is.
For example it could log any errors it hits or even sucsesses.
The reason i ask is that my phone no matter which rom ive used, original or any of the TNT's (my fav ) it will from time to time get stuck in standby and I'm fairly sure that its something in the notification queue that falls over but its next to impossible to find out what, ive tried till im blue in the face installing and uninstalling things but still cant work it out.
an event viewer could say log each notificaion event as it happens then if your phone freezes up in standby, soft reset and check the log and you should see the big gap between when the failed item ran and when you restarted your phone.
does this make sense? if it is possible is anyone here up for the challenge.
funy,
you can try SKtools, it has event viewer and other for you to troubleshoot the problem you are facing with your phone.
just trying it now but eventviewer doesnt really show much which might suggest a problem. anyone got any more ideas? driving me nuts.
thanks

HTC (jasjam) camera problems!

I have been updating my camera software from various xda posts and they have all failed. So i uninstalled and went back to my normal software (htc camera 4.0).
Now, when i put the flashlight on, it does not come on (flashlight works with VJCandelaLite) and i able to capture videos but not pictures ("unable to capture photo").
Even when i try a program like cool camera or any of them. They do not work and they come up with a different error. "a problem has occurred with filesys.exe"
Any ideas what to do, other than a hard-reset. Is there a program that might have caused a conflict?
Is htccamera.dll corrupted from the many different versions installed?
Thanks

Tab a SMT585 Advice please for a newbie

Hi guys/girls
First off im totally new to rooting any kind of device, thanks to a lot of the awesome work from people on this forum i have done a lot of reading and think i have successfully rooted my device (according to the root check app it is yay!)
However on reading a lot of things i just wanted to check if i have done all steps correct
So
Put device in to download -
Went on odin
Added the .tar file
Rebooted in to the other boot option
Transfered the SU zip file over
Clicked the zip file and installed
All seems to be working fine but reading things about flashing etc have i missed something?
Also an app i was using (the whole reason i rooted in the first place) HiroMacro
Was working fine nearly all day until i stopped and restarted it
Now it is not recognising any touch inputs? and not recording any types of input? any suggestions as to why this may of suddenly happened? Did i do something wrong or has something possibly changed that i need to investigate?
Thanks in advance and also thanks already for the endless knowledge on here
EDIT
I have tried other applications that "record" a touch input for auto playback, NONE are recoring/recognising any kind of input has something gone wrong with the root process? or is my tab security blocking something im not realising?
Thanks again
Update :
Proof i am still trying and battling with this,
I completely wiped my tablet and have installed a completely new ROM
Now this still has not fixed the issue!
However now when i enable the touch location debug there is a grey bar appearing at the top of the screen, just below the notification line that moves on rotation
Just a crazy idea... but is this the area that the app is going ot recognise touch input? as this was never there before? the area is not big enough to attempt to record any input? however any ideas if this is the case on how to "extend" the touch area
Thanks again

On Google or Youtube, try searching up how to reset your tablet with the Samsung Smart Switch app for Samsung Devices. It works a lot better than Kie 3 (It's been updated) and it should fix all of it. ODIN way is not the most fool-proof method but the official Samsung Smart Switch is a lot more easy and it's automatic. You will only need your Device Model Number and Serial Number.
