Camera not working on any roms - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

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.

This is the best I can do so far trying to fully figure this out

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

[Q] Restore to factory WM stock after Andriod installed

Too many things are not working. And the phone is super slow.
How do I restore a HD2 with android installed back to Windows Mobile stock version? Can you please point me to Wiki, I am looking but I cannot find it.
Thanks,
Download your stock ROM and flash it via SD card - this way, everything will be back to factory status.
Just check the stickies in the WinMo thread, you´ll quickly find what you need.
If this is done will HTC know it has been using Android NAND? So could a phone be sent for repair if this is done?

Yes... you can send it back to HTC is you flash it as above with WM from sd card.
Good luck

Well first of all which Android rom did you use?
Did you try others?
Did you read the roms thread for tweaks/fixes?
Some roms can make your device run faster and better then Windows Mobile, You have obviously not tried variosu roms and just gave up after 5 minutes.
You should take your time and try some of the lighter Android roms like NexusHD2 or maybe a CM7 based rom. What you ahve probably tried is a full on DHD sense rom which (at first) will be laggy until OS has had time to settle down and also a few reboots.
I have been using Android since I had my HD1 and more or less since day1 on my HD2, Ive used many roms (thats teh fun part) and have not had a problem overall of slow or too many things not working, It all depends on the rom you use and if you tweak/fix or not.

A few questions

Hello everybody.
I am new to the board - well, to posting at least. I have been browsing for information for a while and with thanks to threads here, managed to root my hd2 successfully, but a few things are still not working for me properly, so I have a few questions
---
1. I had to ring a company earlier today, which was an automated service and upon them requesting I click a certain number to be redirected to where I wanted, I clicked and it had no impact on the call - they just said they did not recognize a request and continued to repeat the question.
So, does anybody know the setting I need to change to fix this?
---
2. I am in the UK and on my old phone, a blackberry (Don't worry, I have seen the light now!) I could get decent connection, even when not in an WiFi area, therefore using 3G. With the HD2 however, even by changing the radio settings in the *#*#4636#*#* I am never able to get a decent signal outside of a WiFi zone.
I am using the Radio from these forums. The Leo one with the exe being named RUU_CUSTOM. I will try and find it later.
Is the problem with the radio and I need a UK specific one? I have tried GSM (all variations) from the menu stated, which is out local frequency I believe, but with no success.
Or am I missing something else?
---
3. My Android ROM was made for a NEXUS ONE (The gingerbread one), so could this be causing the problems above?
I had to use this one because I could not find another one which would work using CWM.
I tried numerous and after installing, it would not load due to "Kernal Load Error" - so I had to settle on this one.
My partner is American and has an HD2 also, but her's is the American model, and she has no problem installing the mass of the ROM's available around these boards. Could the fact my model is the UK one, make any difference? I would not assume so, but it seems there is a difference somewhere.
Does anyone know the reason for these points?
I thank you all in advance for any help you provide.
-Luke
Radio 2.15.50.14 is the recommended radio for using Android. I'm not too sure about the UK, but I've used my American HD2 on both Tmobile and FarEasTone [ Taiwanese carrier] without any problems, so it *should* work for you too.
The Nexus One build is one of the best Stock Gingerbread ROMs available for the HD2. That shouldn't be the problem. I'm guessing the problem is you might be using the wrong radio. I recommend flashing back to stock WM 6.5 and starting fresh.
Also, there's tons of ROMs available for CWM! However, as you have the UK model, I suggest staying away from a Sense ROM, as they require an ext4 on your sdcard for your model, and that's always been laggy for me. Try MIUI, CM7, or stick with the Nexus build is my suggestion.
Hello EB, and thank you for your reply.

That would be the radio I am using. The folder for it is named Radio+Leo+2.15.50.14 on my computer.

I just looked at my phone and the ROM I am using is GRJ90 (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9 NAND), which I agree, works well other than these couple flaws, which are not necessarily related to the rom.

Ok, I am new to all of this and it took me multiple hours just to get android to run on this, but I did the NAND install, so I do not have the WM on my phone, even as a dual boot option.
I will perhaps try to find one though, should I not be able to find the answers anywhere else first

I did try the CM7 ROM (TyphooN_CM7_v3.7.0-cLK), but that came up with the kernal issue too. I did try a fair few more, but they all did the same until I come to the nexus, so I stuck with it.
May have to take your advice and start the process over again. *yikes*
Oh, okay, radio shouldn't be the problem then.
Do you have MADGLR or cLK bootloader installed? If you have MADGLR, than that may be the reason why that particular CM7 ROM isn't working, as you tried out the cLK version.

Dang it! I did not even notice that, but given I have only rooted one phone, surely I can be forgiven for this slip?
Thanks a bunch. Now I will go try another because you are right, I am using MADGLR.
Thanks again
You may want to look into hd2 toolkit. It makes task29, fashing and installing magldr, clk, and recovery extremly easy. I've had problems with the typhoon cm7 and would not recommend it. Try doing a task 29 and try clk instead of magldr. Clk uses ppp and magldr uses rmnet. Rmnet is haveing trouble but ppp is good. Try a more up to date gingerbread edition for clk and I think that will solve your problems.
The main difference between HD2 UK and American is the amount of internal storage. UK has 512 where Americn has 1024

Some of the Sense 3.0 ROMs have 720p recording. I don't specifically know which ones though.
Just look at a couple threads, the OP should say if 720p recording is supported.

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'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
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
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

[Q] Can anybody help me get my video camera working on HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8?

Hi guys. The HD2 Wp7.8 ROM by Pdaimatejam is awesome. Smooth, stable and alsmost the perfect daily.
I have one problem which is really bugging me; I cannot get the video camera to work. The normal camera side of the app works great and takes nice sharp stills but every time I tap on the video icon the app instantly closes.
I have re-flashed the rom several times always performing task29 and following the rom install guide exactly. I am using the same HSPL, MGLDR and radio as most other HD2 users running this rom yet I see no complaints on the rom thread. BTW - I have mentioned my issue on the rom thread but no response - maybe it's just me!
Can anybody tell me what this may be caused by or know anything else I can check? Is there a decent non-stock WP7 app for video recording I should try?
Thanks for your help....
i dont have any problem...
(maybe not important but) did you give root permission for all apps in root manager?
did you make hard reset after ROM flashing and first ROM boot?

Thanks for the quick reply. I had not given root permission for all apps only select apps so I tried this unfortunately to no avail, even after reboot etc. I have also done a hard reset on every fresh install.
Interestingly I tried another video recording app (the only free one on the market) called video diary and this had exactly the same problem. The app closed the moment I tapped the icon to record video. This at least suggests the problem isn't app specific.
May I ask exactly what setup you are using as in MAGLDR, HSPL and radio versions?
all is described in tutorial from my signature
using radio combination 2.15/5.51
also try use different SDcard...

Right, I went to town on this problem and could I find the cause? Hell no. I tried 3 different size SD cards from 2 manufacturers, all of which are 'compatible' with WP7 according to the community. I had tried reflashing Pdaimatejam's rom in every possible way always with the same outcome; No video recording. I had also tried all compatible hardware radios. I flashed about 20 roms to test from these OS's: WP7.8, WP7.5, WM6.5, stock WM6.5, Jellbean and ICS and video worked on all of them apart from the WP7.8 roms. BIG sigh of relief, I was starting to think this may be hardware.
I got the usual 'Ok' video and cam quality from the Android roms and the best quality I have ever seen from the WP7.5 roms. Seriously, the video is smoother and more crisp than the stock WM6.5 rom and stills about the same. Android may be versatile but I've always found It can't touch Windows for performance, quality of apps (although far less) and stability.
As a result my severe fustration in being defeated by this problem, I'm bailing on WP7.8 and sticking with the much cleaner HD2O© WP7 8779 (TANGO) ROM. Who needs to be distracted by stupid resizing tiles anyway, right?!
Thanks for the suggestions anyway dxdy :good:
or simply wait when full 7.8 be released...
