Camera Stopped working - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Has anyone had this problem here, i tried searching the forums but no answers only people with similar questions. Well i dont really know how or why it happened, i never dropped my phone and take good care of it, but i usually am use to upgrading and downgrading the phone back and forth with wm6.0 roms..specifically with Ivans V3,4,5 and 6. I dont think its a driver or software issue since i even tried downgrading to WM5 but still the problem persists. When i tap on the camera icon or click the camera button the Display goes black for like 3 seconds then the camera application starts but i dnt see anything, i thought that maybe it was a glitch in the camera application so i installed Cool Camera but the problem was still there so if anyone knows whats gone wrong with the phone id apprecate it if you can tell me how to fix it and what needs to be done.

Same issue. And it takes a really long time for the camera application to start.

i have same problem :s

Hi all,
Sounds like a driver error to me.
What Rom are you all using?
Can any of you get KITL output whilst trying to initialise camera and post it here please.
Cheers,
Beast

now wtf is a KITL output?

But some guys have mentioned that it could be a driver issue, im confusde...are the drivers stored in the rom along with the OS or some place else?

since you flashed your rom and still the camera didn't work...
it all points to a hardware problem

Technical or Software problem

Hey,
I have had a vox for over half a year now and I was using the new OS from HTC.
Recently I had to reflash my phone because it was having a number of issues. The enter key on the front keypad would not work. It would handomly turn the bluetooth on. The screen would not be bright while I was using it (the standy dim lighting).
The enter key on the slide out keyboard does work.
After the reflash everything worked great. Now I have used the phone for a week and this starts happening again. Sometimes restarting will get rid of these problems, but it still seems to be there.
I tried to update to Dr. Gonzo's 6.1 ROM, but I was unable to flash that one, I got an error saying the ROM is corrupt.
Do you think this may be a hardware problem?
Please let me know what you think,
Thanks,
GRoder
which ROM are you currently using?
Did you USPL the device before flashing WM6.1 ROM?
that is a necessary step.
Let us know after you flash doc's ROM.

hey hey, I did read both of the supplied read me files, however I'm sure sure that the updates UPL/SPL updates worked correctly. There is one step that I am unsure about.

yea I always use the search function in forums, why ask what 10 others have asked before.
I'm just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem with their phone. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue...
Nope, this is something for which people are opening a new threat every day, so I hope you can understand that I am a bit grumpy sometimes!

I will try it again tonight when I get home. I think it was the step where I had to run the *.bat file with all the promts...at the end the phone did not behave like it said in the read me so I think something may have gone wrong at that point.

[App] Suggestion: Flashlight app for flash-LED

Since the flash LED is almost useless for the camera application... maybe someone can come up with a small flashlight apllication for it in a touchflo/diamond layout?
Has anybody tried VJCandela? You never know it might work??
Cant try, aint got my Raph yet.

Just tried v0.3. Sorry to report it does not work But I'm sure someone on this forum will have a flashlight working for us soon enough I think that's all the camera light is really good for anyway.
anyone have an answer for this?
Just wondering... of course, as usual: "after the fact":
The battery on my car was dead, and yesterday I planned to rplace it with a new one... However, in my garage the lighting is awful, and I could'nt find the screws and bolts... ended up calling the mechanics, to come and boost my battery....
An app like this would have been very usefull... would have saved me about 40 Euro's...

You're assuming people will bother to search and read a little before asking questions. Don't.

[Q] Auto-rotate function fail - G-sensor calibration aborted

Hi All. The Screen Auto-rotation has failed on my Sensation. Everything is set to allow it in Settings but no joy.I've tried everything [almost] inc Battery Removal, Disabling Flip-over Speakerphone & Live Wallpapers, and calibrating G-sensor but it always says Calibration Aborted. Anyone got any other ideas?

G-sensor
Hi. I installed ARHD 5.0.2 on my Sensation 4G. Now auto-rotate doesn't work. It sets screen to horizontal, but it doesn't set screen back to vertical. In other apps sensor works perfect. Calibration didn't help. What should I do?

Hey guys I also got a same problem.
My phone slipped off my hand and fell off and the last time i use it(not rooted), i swear that the g sensor still worked.After that fall, it didn't work, sensor tools didn't detect it help me.

[Q] Front-facing camera not working

Hi guys! I have a problem with my Photon Q.
it's updated to version 4.1.2 - stock version from Sprint 98.10.5.XT897
No one of applets for camera can't see a front-facing camera. If it has a button for changing front/rear camera - but it's inactive!
Skype and other applications can't find front-camera too!
What can I do for make front-camera working? How can I look a hardware from terminal? lshw, lsmod and other standard linux commands on Android has no effect...
Bootloader was unlocked on motolola web site - but it has no efect too!
(ps: sorry for my bad english!)
You said you upgraded to JB, does that mean it worked in ICS...?
Did it ever work? Are you the first owner, or is this an ebay purchase?

No, I am not first owner, but all inside and outside the phone is looking like a new.
Only this one problem I have.
so.. maybe someone have expereince of debugging hardware problems, like an get a list of drivers, looking for logs of kernel, dmesg or anything like in pure linux?

Well there's apps that I've used to verify hardware - androSensor was one I recall. zDeviceTest was another I think...
As for debugging, dmesg/logcat are probably your best bet after attempting to use the front cam.

I just entering dmesg | grep cam from termninal

My Photon Q is pretty well busted, but if zDevice tells you secondary camera is not found... That is quite suspect.
You pulled it apart and checked the connectivity? I know this is not always the best idea, as it does require a bit of patience and the proper tools, but you seemed to indicate that you were OK with pulling it apart.
Buying stuff second hand is always fun.

Do you have an instruction how to disassemble it, photos or circuit?

Well there's this thread.
In addition, when I went to tear apart my phone I used a YouTube video for replacing the screen - since you basically have to completely tear apart the phone to do that.

Dont know about OTG, but wifi signal is very good (better than my old sony xperia sola). i had problem with GPS, did a hell lot of tweaking and reading nothing helped... then stumbled upon a forum saying that SMS car can cause problems, and by removing card>starting phone without sms card>shutdown>reinserting card solved my GPS problem...
about GPS fix... it seems its ok, nothing special. just in the middle i suppose.

I have the phone. I think it is very good for its price :good:. Wifi reception very good, GPS normal, USB-OTG is not there. The only minor thing is the camera which does not make clear pictures and is only 5MP I think, although it stores pictures in as much as 12MP, but those are not sharp.
Camera quality JK11?
Thanks for the remarks about this phone, interested in buying it perhaps. Could someone pls upload some photo samples of it to judge camera quality? Or describe how photo quality compares to a mainstream digital camera?
Thanks!
Does anybody know a valid firmware (rom) or kernel, or modem,..... for JK11 that it get better wifi signal than stock rom? It spents a lot of time to load web pages.
