I'd tryied to hold camera button and from programs menu but both wont work. What can I do? Please can someone help me out?
First off try a soft reset, poke the stylus in the reset hole for a second or two, you won't loose any information or applications trying this, switch the unit back on and try again from the hardware button and/ or the Start/ Programs/ Camera icon
If the above didn't fix it try a hard reset, this will wipe the device back to the same configuration it was when you got it - you WILL LOOSE data doing this - Mike
Thanks for the rep. but,
I did hard reset and it still wont start. AND NOW the camera icon isn't even in the program folder anymore?! help!
Please, anybody?

This is NOT possible if you hardreset. Hardreset again and try. If it still doesnt work, your unit is most probably defective and you'll have to exchange/send in for repair it.
Just to be sure: You use the erase memory tool in the control panel and had to enter "1234" and then click yes, right?
Yes, I used the erase memory tool
I have itself problem, the reset (soft) don't resolve. Sometimes the camera starting, but frequently NO.
Sorry for my english.

I have the same problem
I'm Trying yet to solve
Looking at the camera launching process, I've found a link like:
_camera.lnk
that contains:
21#"\Windows\Camera.exe" ?CameraRc_Grey.dll,-1106
any idea if that is normal content, looks curious for a link especially the interrogation point mark?
What about the -1106 figure ?
Is it possible that this link being corrupted ?
If yes how to modifiy it, seems a ROM file
Any help welcomed
same problem here,
sometimes cam will work but it to often will not. :/
sure ift the cam even dont in factory default config (hard reset) it is broken.
I got longest working duration in factory default, approx one to two weeks.
using third party binaries the failure appears randomly.
Im pretty sure this is a software issue, else a soft rest wont fix it, eh ?!
workaround:
one but very poor solution is, once the cam starts, _never_ quit it, just minimize.
yep, I know ... but the only way I found atm.
Same problem
I have got no news about cam.
I called htc support, they told me to install a fix for camera that I found in htc e-club.
But that fix is not for our problems, is for camera quality.
I installed it but the problem still remain.
Sometimes it goes, sometimes no...
Edit/Delete Message
same problem here. thank you for HTC reply
A solution is to take the pda off without the battery for some minutes...
After that the cam works...
But for also some time... then It goes down again...
I've been having the same problems with the camera.
"Camera" doesn't appear in Programs but "Camera album" does.
When i use file explorer to go to the .exe file and i tap it, nothing happens.
EDIT: i've just used file explorer to go to the windows directory en what do I see: now i have two camera executables (but not one of them reacts)
In file explorer i see this:
Camera 11/12/07 733K
camera.exe.0409.mui 11/12/07 28,9K
camera 11/12/07 35,2K (with Opera icon, i think it's the help file)
camera 18/06/07 35B
CameraRc_Grey.dll 11/12/07 398K
I've never seen the last two files
Hello
i´ve got this Problem nearly three weeks. I´ve installed a new rom and Nadavi camera. Nothing turn the Camera Problem. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I´ve got the idea that the Software that is installed on the device cause the Problem. When i want to send a mms from the camera the camera strikes after that. When i used Mobile Navigator 5.0 the Camera strike again.
I don´t have an exactly answer for the Problem but i´m pissed of!!!! HTC can´t help already

P.S. hope you understand my bad english
I sent the pda to htc support...
I have to call them on 15th june.
When I'll have news I will tell you
Bye
Hi,
Since today I have a new problem - when trying to start the camera by pressing the camera button or via rograms I got the message "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device."
I have the original ROM, nothing modified. Some days ago I was making pictures with the phone, worked well. I have not installed any programs since then.
Any ideas for workaround?
Also sorry if I'm repeating another thread, tried to search but found nothing.
Thanks,
Boyan
Guys, am I the only one who has experienced this???
Yeah I haven't had this issue before. Have you tried a soft-reset? Maybe a backup of your ROM when the camera used to work? As a last resort, I hate to say it but you could always try a hard-reset?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375474&highlight=CAMERA
I have the same problem
Exactly the same behaviour
when I try to start the camera I get an error box (rotated) with white square : " camera
impossible to initialize the camera.Failure of camera peripheral configuration"
it was working OK 10 days ago and I didn't change anything from this date except making a sprite backup.
Loading a 1 month backup didn't help neither a full hard reset (same behaviour just after the hard reset)
Looks like a harware failure, Ilook for a hardware test software for the camera ????
Trying to solve, I looked at the camera launching process, I've found a link like:
_camera.lnk
that contains:
21#"\Windows\Camera.exe" ?CameraRc_Grey.dll,-1106
any idea if that is normal content, looks curious for a link especially the interrogation point mark?
What about the -1106 figure ?
Is it possible that this link being corrupted ?
Otherwise, I phone to HTC technical support and the fact that the error stays just after a hard reset lead to think its a hardware failure; however loks teribly like a software pb....or a dry soldering point? They told me to bring the phone to a fixing office in Paris area delay announced to repair between 1 and 7 days
Any other help welcomed
problem disappear
hi rvgpoi,
the good news are that the problem disappear, the bad news are that I have no idea why...
I have not made hard reset (in fact, never), just couple of soft resets... but after that the camera was NOT working... couple of days later, i just wanted to show the problem to a friend of mine - and it was working...
I'm pretty pissed from HTC support - I have mailed them for this problem, and still no answer (1 week). This is not acceptable for a decent company.
In order to try to see where the problem is - can you tell me how to look at that:
_camera.lnk
that contains:
21#"\Windows\Camera.exe" ?CameraRc_Grey.dll,-1106
to see what is the value (while camera working)...
Good luck with your camera
Yes, same for me.
I am using Start->Program --> Camera.
I think that we should wait HTC support center for this problem.
Camera fails to initialize
Hello all,
I have the same problem exactly. I have the device for 6 weeks. Camera worked for two weeks. Stopped working for a week and then returned for a few days then failed again with the same message you guys got. I have done a number of hard resets- does not help. I am in a country with NO HTC service center and sending it to Europe will deprive me of my only phone for a long time. HTC Europe has NOT replied to my email from 3 weeks ago.
Any ideas? Rom update-if exists? Reinstall Rom? Any other ideas???
Jeremy
Solution, maybe
Guys,
my camera suddenly started to work again, I was extremly happy, activated GPS photo, took some pictures with coordinates, when i tried the camera later that day - it did not worked again. restarts, resets - nothing helped.
the next day I took out the battery for 10-15 minutes - and when I put it back, the camera worked!!!
Today the camera is not working again - and currently my battery is out. Let's see what will be the result.
Good hunting
Camera fails to initialize
I should have mentioned other problems that might be releavant- Bleutooth does not turn on from the momeent I purchased, touch pad is sometimes very slow for initial reaction. I have NO added programs beyond manafacturer originals.
Same problem...
Hi,
I'm a newbie, I didn't think that there was a so big and interesting forum about pdas and, especially, for my htc polaris...
I've got the same problem with the cam...
When I turn on the device, cam works fine...
After a while, it continue working...
After some hours, it stops working.
I have a full original firmware on it:
ROM: 1.25.408.1 12/12/2007
Radio: 1.58.21.23
Proto: 26.65.30.04H
I also tried to contact support, but with no responses, at the moment...
I also searched for a original upgrade (for the warranty), but nothing...
I think the problem is in apmd (or similar else) os daemon.
I think the os turn off cam device for power savings, and after it is not able to restart it before launch camera.exe program, that returns that strange message...
I searched in registry with ceregeditor if it is possible to disable power saving for a single device, to make a test, but I'm not a so good mobile engineer.
A newbie question:
The upgrade WM 6.1 bepe 0.67 can resolve this problem?
And again: if I upgrade anyway, I lose my warranty?
Camera fails to initialize
I called up the UK support center. After going over the problem with them I was told to return the device for servicing. Seems they will have to do a new Flash Rom. Two weeks without the device at least and I have to pay for international courier.
the problem still stays... this time removing the battery didn't help.So I'm again camera-less. Still no reply from HTC.
I'm also with original firmware:
ROM: 1.25.405.1 12/12/2007
Radio: 1.58.21.23
Proto: 26.65.30.04H
as you see the rom is different, same problem. In my case turning off the device does not help - the camera is not working even after switching it back on.
Are you able to deactivate power savings for cam?
Another think:
Your rom version is older than mine,
Perhaps a new rom version resolve the problem,
but is not original version, and we should ask to cooked new rom developer if they have found something wrong in cam device apmd functions...
I have the same problem, but for my TC it is simply resolved by doing a soft-reset and starting the camera after it's ready..
still annoying though..
same problem here,
sometimes cam will work but it to often will not. :/
sure ift the cam even dont in factory default config (hard reset) it is broken.
I got longest working duration in factory default, approx one to two weeks.
using third party binaries the failure appears randomly.
Im pretty sure this is a software issue, else a soft rest wont fix it, eh ?!
workaround:
one but very poor solution is, once the cam starts, _never_ quit it, just minimize.
yep, I know ... but the only way I found atm.
// update //
approx one day without any probs and I used nearly every feature of my device....
Im not familiar with the CCD chip technology, I dont know if there is any possibility for burn-in effects, therefore I switched to the front cam for "stand by" and got the good old failed to ini ... error immediately when I tried to switch back to the rear cam.
now I will test if the front cam is got the same error ...
and I'll get some info if 24/7 on can harm the ccd chip
// update //
I have my cam now approx one week always on and have no problems at all.
I have got no news about cam.
I called htc support, they told me to install a fix for camera that I found in htc e-club.
But that fix is not for our problems, is for camera quality.
I installed it but the problem still remain.
Sometimes it goes, sometimes no...
try that :

don't work
The sd memory isn't a solution,
because I have 1985MB free of 2GB.
If you soft-reset and don't work again,
Take the pda off without the battery for some minutes.
The cam will works again,
but after some time goes down again!!!

You can restore the factory settings or reflash the rom. If the problem persists, the cable or screen of the phone may be broken.
I have already done the reset available in phone.
i have also tried updating and putting new ROM but everytime i do that i get errors like " Image currupted" or " Invalid vendor ID" I have even tried unlocking the phone using USPL n stuffs but no use. (Probably m not doing it rite )
The problem with phone is when openin the QWERTY keypad the display goes blank or hazzy n returns after some 30 seconds(Display time our time)
Dont know wat to do
and now the green flashy led is also not working
whenever i connect my phone to PC it shows RED light there
dont know wats happening
Please help
Most probably the flex cable that connects the upper and lower body has a problem. Probably the connector at the lower part has come loose slightly and opening the device pulls the flat cable edge to bend the connector so that you see the effect you describe.
You will not be able to fix it without opening the device - and this is not simple with the VOX. Do not try to fix that without opening the device as you may completely kill the flat cable this way.
Thanks for repling buddy
But iam a bit afraid to open my VOX as i dnt wanna spoil it more
i tried updating the ROM also but couldnt
Probably i need a better guide on unlocking and installing new ROMS.
Any pointers will be helpful
Thanks
You will not solve a HW problem with new SW. Get a good dis-assembly guide for the VOX - this will help you.
Hmm...
but still i think i will need alot of courage to open my VOX
I have a guide with me which seems to be good enough. Anywaz will give it a try some day
As off now i have just completed updating a new ROM (Windows Mobile 6.5 Official by frauhottelmann) It is nice and good but as u suggested hasnt resolved my problem
Also Audio manager isnt working for me
Thanks for your inputs buddy

Be careful nitin !!! you'd better bring it to a service center , than you lose warranty just because seal is broken when you try to open it ..
There is no warranty after 3 years, I think - at least not in Germany
I brick my Xperia X10a (Android 2.1) ! When I reboot my phone after finish the installation driver for enabling multitouch, my screen is small, the touch not working and now heres the problem com.sonyerisscon.android.friendpivot but I tested the multitouch on Touch Test and work. I don't understand :S
Make the downgrade Android 2.1 to 1.6 will back my Xperia?
What Happened? What can I do?
Help me!!
I'm not sure if I fully understand your problem on this one. I take it you have rooted the phone?
If you try and un-root the phone (install official software via Update Service), does the phone still behave like this?

Enabling Multitouch failed! What happened?
After that update to enabling multitouch, it appeared certain windows of Errors. When you finish, everything went fine, but when it restarts, the interface it appears small, don't open any application and no window appears two types of windows errors saying the following:
1: "The process stopped unexpectedly com.sonyericsson.signatureapps.components. Try again. "
2: "The application details contact (process com.sonyericsson.android.friendpivot) stopped unexpectedly. Try again. "
The same window asking for "Force Lock, "so I clicked on it, the same windows error will reappear instantly!
I'm not able to do anything with my device, it is totally new, and I would not lose any bit of it or something.
I bought it on 15/06/2010
I await a response.
I'm still quite calm and I want to solve this problem without any kind of problem.
Thanks
I'm having the same problem. Can someone give me a hand? My x10i is only 2months old. I don't wanna to lose it.
ITEL 1452 : Camera error, can't connect to the camera.
Hello to all members of XDA,
My name is Fehren and I have a problem you submit, I heard the good of your site , you told me that you are the best.
In recent weeks, my phone 's ITEL 1452 camera does not work, every time I try to take a photo is the message that appears: " Camera error, can't connect to the camera. " I did a screen capture so you have the information on my laptop and the problem
I tried to solve the problem:
- by resetting my phone,
-by suppressing the system 's camera and since then I am unable to reinstall camera.apk
the ability of the application is now 32ko
What should I do so that the mo camera phone working again ?
I really need your help. Thank you
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue. But normally these issues can be hardware related... But more often it's another app keeping your camera busy so the camera app can't use it. Look at recent apps you've installed. Especially anything that uses the camera at all.
If that doesn't help you will need to ask for help here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck!
