Hi guys,
I recently replaced the MB of my phone as the previous one was dead, I purchased a used MB and the telephone works fine.
However, the front camera image is blurred, so I said myself, it is possible that the front camera of this MB is damaged and since the one of my old MB was working fine, I have decided to replace the ' blurred' camera with my old one.
Once I have replaced the camera, re-assembled everything, I get the following error: Server error occurred. Restart camera
I took already all the troubleshooting steps I found online, cleared the cache, partition and finally reset to factory settings, none worked.
I tried in Safe Mode and I got the same error.
At this point I think the MB connection for the front camera is the root cause of the problem, but I am puzzled because with the previous camera, although blurred. it was working, so why with this one I get the server error?
Is there anything else I can try before I give up?
Thank you
Alex
Anybody?

Orange SPV M3100 Ser no 635*****
Vanilla ROM (as supplied by Orange)
My camera refuses to work
Error message is "Unable to start camera, Unable to initialise camera"
I have tried soft reset (several times), Hard reset (several times) both with and without SD card installed.
When this first occured I could resolve it by removing and reinserting the SD card but now even that does not work.
Currently on the phone to Orange requesting a replacement. Awaitiing reply from technical department.
PS. Also had intermittent SA problems
Anybody seen this problem, any solutions?
Thanks

I get a similar problem when trying to take pics on superfine 2M settings, camera app crashes and requires restart. Already had 3 replacement tytn's + not prepared to risk getting another dodgy m3100. Hardly use my tytn's camera now

Along with the ridiculous default sharpness and contract settings these issues are a real downer.
Well when I got my TyTN back from repair, I had a couple of dodgy camera issues... Sometimes it would take a blank picture. Then I would soft reset.. start up the camera app and it would complain that it was unable to cos it was in use already. Soft reset again... a quick slap or brisk shutting of the keyboard in frustration and it would work...
Interestingly enough (touch wood) I haven't had this problem in many weeks
Strange.............
i have the same problem did you sort it out

How do you fancy checking your registry entries against this set referenced below (which are currently working on mine!)

Nice job for a Saturday?
And if anybody does and you then get it working - LET US KNOW!!

I now use CoolCamera instead of the default camera. It doesn't have the flash interace of the normal one but you don't have the silly default sharpness/ contrast settings and takes good pictures.

I have had this problem in the past. However, unlike you, this has been cured on mine with a soft reset. Does sound like a faulty unit though
camera problem
spv m3100 camera error,
unable to start camera or intialize camera,
please heip me how can i solve this error, thanks
Um, Safwanp, have you tried a soft reset like I mentioned above? That usually clears it...
unable to start camera or intialize camera
help me I'm having the same problem too.
Been using my hermes for more than a year now.
upgraded to WM6 official dopod but with big storage a month back but no problems with camera till now. Tried soft reset, get same message. Hard reset first time it worked. But after a few hours get same message. Tried hard resetting it and it won't work. Now camera button remapped to Pic and Vid.
Tried to tap on the camera icon in programs also get same message.
Pls help me.
ok suddenly my camera working again but on + off get that message. Might be connection loose coz maybe i dropped phone couple of times
After months of trouble free use my camera dies today. When I try to launch the camera I get the following message "Unable to start Camera" "Unable to initialize camera". I saw an earlier post where the fix was to power down and remove the battery for a few minutes. Unfortunately this did not work for me. I waited approximately 15 minutes before installing the battery and powering up again.
Has anyone elese seen this problem before? And where removing the battery has not helped. I have not tried a Hard Reset. I had a similar problem with my Hermes/838 Pro that was fixed with a hard reset. As you can tell I am trying to avoid the hard reset... I am traveling and do not want to take the time to cutomize my phone, at least not yet.
I am running the original shipped ROM 1.23.707.6
Meanining I have not flashed any ROMs to this phone. It is as shipped from Dopod.
hi i have the same problem since months ... something you have explored? do u have some informations to fix this problem?
Extract this package, and copy all files to the windows directory via Resco Explorer(alle files(.DLL) muts be visible, look at the options of this app) and overwrite the existing files, then softreset, Im not sure if this will work for you, so be sure and make a backup first!

It really seems a software problem, probably some rom files or registries got corrupted. A reinstall may help, if not, you may still need the ultimate hard reset
I wound uptaking my 810 back to the Dopod service center. The guy said they had to replace my camera. What that means and if that can actually be done I am not sure. I would guess they replaced an entire board. They did re-flash the ROM on my phone as well. Prioir to taking the phone in for service I had not tried to re-flash the rom. I had only done a hard reset with no success.
One side light of my camera going down is... They put the same ROM back on my phone that was previously installed. After the service I have noticed that my GPS gets a "cold" fix much faster than before (twice as fast +/-)
Interesting, I had this exact same error, but on my previous phone, a Samsung D900.
They tried everything, including completely wiping the phone, but nothing helped so in the end they replaced the camera in the phone.
i had this on a tornado

...turned out to be hardware, too.
mainboard error on mine
htc service replaced the camera module twice before they replaced mainboard and cured my phone. I had this problem the first 6 months with my p3600.
Try taking a softreset with the camera on. this worked for me a couple of times

Simply take out battery for at least 15 minutes.
Having the same problem but on front camera ..

I have problem Unable to start Camera in htc desire 500
I reset factory but I have this problem. I don't known.what can I do???? please help me
this my number phone 09192561895 in IRAN
Because I tried allmost anything I would like to share this info!
Main problem: after using the phone for a while and doing many flashes of rom, radio, spl and so on.... I suddendly experianced trouble with my rear camera.
I had only a black screen and error messages like:
- could not initiaise camera
- could not get frame data from camera
The tricky part is that it sometimes does work, so at first you keep searching for a software solution. Well just trust me.. there isn't any if you have the same problem as I have.
I did allmost anything (i did not send it back to HTC and did not disassamble the phone)
I tried allmost every rom including radio, no final results!
Did the softwarefix (nadavi), batterytrick, sd-card removal, folder deletetrick and so on...
So this is my final trick, and it did work so far, but it only shows the root of the problem: HARDWARE!!
I restored the roms including the SPL to HTC WM6.1 SPL 3.13 (making it ready for warranty return)
I did a hard-reset to wipe anything, removed the sim and sd-card during flashing... so far no result with the camera!
THAN I was getting a bit pissed off because I'm having this problem for months now,.. so now I'm getting to the strange solution..
I did (gently) squeeze the phone with my hands like it was a dirty towel while having the camera.exe running and suddently.. -> PICTURETIME!!
So something inside the phone was not connected the way it should be and squeeze the phone can (did) fix it (pherhaps temporary we will find out...).
Just try if you don't have warranty or send it back to HTC!
But don't spend time changing rom's.
i have the same problem
a black screen and error messages like:
- could not initiaise camera
- could not get frame data from camera
So a few days ago, I left the US with my T-mobile G1, everything was working fine. I arrived at my destination popped in another sim card(not T-mobile). I turned the phone on and got an error on every single application that I had on the phone, everything from messages to camera to just about everything. So I decided to wipe my phone to factory specs and nothing. The error was still there.
So I replaced the image on my phone and now the error is gone, but the touchscreen still does not work.
I've searched just about everywhere I think and still nothing..
Does anybody have any ideas ?
Thanks,
could be a driver issue or hardware- hard to say without looking it over. I had a problem with my accelerometer and gps drivers, and even after multiple roms and unrooting/re-rooting it never would install. I sent it back to HTC and it came back with a message "reflashed"... (it was covered though, so it was a free fix minus the $5 shipping to get it there )
Wondering if there is a common fault with the S4 camera. When trying to use it, it gives me a firmware updating error. The Rear camera never starts up. The front one is fine. I have recently tried to replace the camera with another one and when I turned on the phone it gave me the firmware updating prompt even before I started any Camera App. Is this an actual Firmware issue or is the Main board kaput?
Thanks for any advice
