[Q] Camera problem android/winmo advice needed! update - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey Guys,
Just installed Android Energy Rom 3.5 Sensation XL
Only problem is that the camera does'nt work!
When i had winmo my camera told my: could not initilize camera
i thougth meh, opera problem, just flash android on it!
Now, android reboots everytime.
My motherboard has been replaced before i had it in my ownership so i don't know what's wrong with that.
what shoud i do:
a: Flash winmo back, see if it helps (guess not)
b: Pry open my mobile, see if the camera is connected properly (how would i know? and can you help? links please!
c: try another android rom?
Tanx in advance

well, i dismounted the whole camera. And put it back together again the wright way, but still no luck,
any suggestions?
Flashlight works though,

Try another build first before flogging the hardware; preferably with a different builder and kernel.

Being that you installed windows mobile and says camera can not initialize, I would say definately a problem with the camera, or connection to the board.

I already opened up my phone, and reconnected the cables and had the whole camera module out, cleaned it, and put it back in its place en secured it.
still no luck though,
can it also be a motherboard problem?
everything else on my htd hd2 works, i can call, turn on wifi, etc. Just no camera

Ok,
i flashed it back to stock rom using

i didn´t preform a task 29
should i consider my camera lost due to a motherboard problem
i really don't know what to do next!
help and advice please!

with the latest oficial rom it should work, it does for me.
I have the same problem, ive got the latest rom and used to be able to take photos with the 2nd camera but now the button in the cam app disapeared
So, the solution to the second camera not working problem is:
Reg editor
HKLM
Software
HTC
Camera
SDK
SupportSecondCamera change to 2 or 3 havent tried any other values, both works for me. (it was set to 1)

a sad update.. now both cameras died...
ok
i dont know if its related (still could be dodgy hardware) but i updated the hard spl to 1.22 in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2786065&postcount=439 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 and my front camera is back.. for how long lol, i do not know..
give it a try, let me know if it makes a difference
What do you know? It worked!
Thanks a lot!
I had the "old" 1.22 hardspl and kept loosing the front camera after a while too... Most of the time I didnt even noticed because I dont use it at all.
Now I have this one (and didnt even had to hard-reset the device), working on the clean black rom v1.
ok, i tried with new hardspl bur nothing. then i tried updating with the new official wwe rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464176 and i recovered at least primary camera...
i'm tempted to call HTC assistance but i'm afraid they will keep my device for a month or more... :-(

are you sure you updated the spl right? (power on device while holding in camera to double check the version).. what radio version have you got? try 1.71.09.01K radio and a compatible rom, like the newest lilly or clean black rom.
im convinced its nothing more than a conflict between spl, radio and rom versions.

You say it persists on all roms, did you do the usual task29-clean install when trying other roms? No fixes or lib patches, just the clean rom?

Camera not working on any roms

My camera works fine in wm 6.5 but it doesnt work on any of my sd roms (haret boot), doesnt work on american android or Nexus ICS by tytung hard reset hd2, formatted sd card and clean installed both, fixed permissions, still nothing... everything used to work fine until I got my lcd replaced and updated tmobile rom through t mobile website. in wm6.5 the phone runs flawlessly camera and everything.
What do you mean by "not working" ?
What exactly do you get? a black screen? a force close? an error message?

Black screen then will ask if I wan to wait or force close, have chose the wait option and after 10 minutes still nothing, reinstalled thru system/app camera.apk, nothing... 3rd party camera apps cant open it either.
So it's working under WinMo >>> supposedly eliminates hardware issue.
But it's not working under any "sd" android ROM AFTER an LCD replacement.
Maybe if you provide a logcat other members may be able to help you?
Have you tried it in "NAND" android? Have you tried different Kernels while on sd? Have you tried it on Windows Phone 7?
I'm at the limits of my knowledge, sorry.
I hope you get it fixed.
I haven't tried it on NAND but I'm not that knowledgeable about flashing roms and with all the trouble I've had I don't wanna screw anything else up ill post a logcat under a more defined thread, thanks for your help.

check out the link below if you want to try out NAND, once you know the steps it's actually not that hard.
ughh figured it out went back into windows mobile and it worked fine then it started working on and off, now it wont work at all even after hard reset, looks like its pointing towards a loose connection in the hardware not ROM related after all, thanks for the help. Time to go get in an argument with repair tech

Have you tried getting another camera app off the market? Most have issues with ICS and some others.

Hey Axman, I understand you're trying to help around which is great but before posting could you please read the entire thread? Quite a lot of what you've posted recently in this section has really been irrelevant to the issue/has already been advised. Thanks

Camera not working (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA)

Hi Guys, I have serched the forums for my specific problem but came up short... trying this for seconds...
I have a HD2 wich I've installed NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)
I have followed every step and everything works fine, EXCEPT the camera.
The camera app never fully loads and just stops responding with the screen going black as the only result.
"camera not responding, do you want to shut down? cancel or yes"
any tips?
I'm new to this forum so Im not sure what other info I should provide, so here goes.
Version 4.0.4
BaseBand 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel 2.6.32-ICS_tytung_HWA_r3.4
Mem 420Mb
(The camea works just fine with WP7, WP7.5, Windows Mobile orig)
Help would be much appreciated
//The Major
Just wanted to add that the phone is a EURO international HTC HD2
So noone can help?
Do I have to reinstall everything and hope for the best? Or have i got a broken device??
easiest wat out of problem is to instal different camera app,try cameraZOOM works fine on my hd2 running on same rom but 2.4
or reinstall rom again.
this should realy be posted in the correct thread,you would probably get more accurate
answers from folk running the same rom.
hope this helps.

Ok, I'll try the app approach... I'll reinstalled the orig ROM oand camera works, I installed a GB ROM and the camera works. I REINSTALLED this ROM and camera works up untill the point of where i actually take a pic - then the camera app shuts down... video seems to work..
I cannot post in the ROM thread - because of forum rules...
Thanks for the tip though - I shall try it.

No doesn't really matter what cameraapp I install, the camera shuts down right after shutter (when the pic is written to storage)
with the message "sorry the camera app had to shut down"
Seem to be the GB approach I'll have to go with...

So I went and tried this ROM:
PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2]
And everything works... how weird - because it seems to be the same kernel?? apart from HWA_r3.2 in this ROM and 3.4 in the ROM that doesn't work... for me it's a headscratcher - I mean I really want the "NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)" but maybe with the 3.2 kernel instead...
how to go about and get that one??
For me everything works just fine. Same ROM same device

I kinda realized that it's not neccesarily the ROM but mor with the Kernel.. I'm trying som different ROMs and different kernels, and the result varies...
Kernel: 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r3.2
ROM: LeoKing 2.3.6
Camera works but batterydrain is a *****... and endomondo stops working...
will try the PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2] but flash a different kernel instead of the tytung one!!
I do realize that the phone will never work as good as with a winmobile original RUU.
Hey try out the new version from tytung. Works like a charm.

What I mean is that I have got the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.6 working - don't know what I did different to maki the camera work, but it did... so I'm laughing.. But now I'm worried that I'll screw it up by installing a v2.7 ontop.. or wiping and installing...

I'm stuck with my current ROM.

Hello,
I got an HTC Nexus One with Android version 2.4 , the OS is having lots of issues such as Camera doesn't work and everything is very slow.
Now I was trying to ROOT the cell phone with Universal Androot and it supports only v2.2 , I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a way I can get my HTC Nexus One back to v2.2 or some alternative which works on Android v2.4.
Thank you very much for helpers!
P.S.
I'm new with the whole Android system.
Android 2.4 doesn't exist

If you're new, then start reading the wiki first. Then search.
Dude... the first thing you should do is a software update. the 2.37 is good enough for almost everyone, unless you need "more"
2.3.7 isn't official, you have toi flas cm7 toi get that .i'm currently running this rom.it's fast and solid

There are many new custom ROMs available for NexusOne.
I hope your device is rooted and as you said you are new to Android, I would suggest you to have gingerbread version of MIUI i.e 2.3. Its very statble and organised.:good:
Google it.. you'll get all stuff..where to download and how to flash it to your device.
Thank you very much for all replies guys,
but seriously I did try reading from the wiki what I could but it can never end... there are so many things to read it can take me weeks so a specific answer could be great.
I was trying to flash my cell phone a new ROM although all the ROMs I tried just never worked.
I tried MIUI v4.x and it just stuck on loading screen.
I tried MIUI v2.x And it keeps loading the OS and then do a restart over and over again , like a loop.
I tried some others and nothing really worked.
Currently I'm using the restore I had before I started to try Flashing ROMs and everytime I have my phone started it shows me some lock sign and then when it loads all my other applications get opened too and it's killing the battery, even when I try killing processes they get opened again after a few minutes, not to mention my camera doesn't work too. I am really lost and quite disappointed.
like someone said... android 2.4 doesn't exist. and as far as i know, camera works in ics and jb
try downloading a passimg.zip, then put it in the root of your sd card. then boot to hboot by pressing trackball and power button, then sellect bootloader, then follow the instructions. hope this helps

Yes, I did it and just installed Android v2.3.6 , but still the camera doesn't work and the battery dies really fast!
Is there any solution for that?

It is a logic board hardware issue. I had the same problem, htc fixed it for free, even with the bootloader unlocked...
