Camera Software - General Topics

Hey guys. Got a question. I ran a patch on my phone to use SHDC card and it worked great. I now have an 8 GB micro card in my phone. (O2 XDA Stealth) Problem is, the other day I went to use the win mo camera and it won't recognize the micro card. Every other software works just fine. I never liked the built in cam anyways. Is there any third part cam software? That takes pictures and videos? My current solution has been to use the onboard memory.

Try CoolCamera from www.ateksoft.com

I have found that making a network folder visible, with software such a resco explorer, means that the camera will no longer save to the storage card.

Thank You so much seether. I will be trying the software on the site. I am at the office right now but it looks like that might just be exactly like what I was looking for. Again, thank you very much.

update: it did not work. I got a green screen.

weird situation with my SD-card and file-encryption

Hi,
I seem to have some weird things going on with my SD-card.
First everything worked fine, but then suddenly all my files seemed to have disappeared.
When I took a look in my "memory" (start, settings, system, memory) there was no change
in memory-usage (still there was 1360 Mb in use and 566 Mb of free memory.)
In "File Explorer" no files were to be seen at all...
When I took out my SD-card an put it into a USB-card reader, my pc showed only a file called EncFiltLog.menc
So I can't copy the files to my pc as well...
I'm using this card for over 8 months now without any problems untill this...
My encryption function in my Jasjar is turned off, I've never had it turned on actually...
The first weird thing I noticed was the question whether I'd like my jasjar to search the card for music files, while I always had this card in my PDA. I never had this question before. The EncFiltLog. menc is created just before I discovered my files disappeared.
(We were just trying to play some music, but the storage card was nowhere to be seen in my media player, so I took the SD card out and put it back in)
The reason why I didn't pay attention to that question and answered "no" was that my old Qtek S100 also does it all the time without giving me any problems at all and this Jasjar already had the files on my card in his library...
After that my files seem to have gone...
Does anyone has a solution for this?
For me, there are some really valuable items on the card which I rather not loose.
(I know I should make back-ups, but these files were too recent to make one...)
Thanks in advance,
JT
Same problem
As of yesterday, I have the EXACT same problem as described above. I could use some of the famous XDA wisdom...please.
What Roms are you two using? And SD Storage settings?
Same problem
Samsung SCH-I760
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0)
ARM920T S3C2442 Processor
SanDisk 2GB Micro SD
File Encryption is turned off (unchecked)
The SD card has functioned perfectly for almost a year. Yesterday I noticed that about half of the folders stored on the card had disappeared. Of course, I have tried reinserting the card, soft resetting the device, restoring the device to an earier date, etc...no luck.
The card shows 1.8 GB of memory "in use." However, only about 500 MB of that information is accessible or even visible. When I insert the card into my desktop computer, the mysterious "EncFiltLog.menc" appears.
Also note that flashed the 6.1 ROM upgrade to my device a few weeks ago. Since that time, I have installed/uninstalled several programs and reset the device numerous times. All data on the card was accessible until this week.
The menc file is dated 08/03/2008. The only software change that I recall performing around this date was enabling the "Scheduled Backup" feature on Spb Backup.
Your help is appreciated.
Eten M800
Windows 6.1
same problem here. it appears out of nowhere and after googling, i found out that it's because of windows 6.1 encryption thing. problem is, i dont have the box ticked at all. and whenever a menc file gets created, my phone will ask me if i want to format the card to make it readable and cant scanned the card. after deleting the EncFiltLog only the SDMMC will appear again
any solution with this problem?
For as far as I know: nope
nothing....
I have discovered the same problem with my Samsung Omnia i900. Any soultions yet to the EncFiltLog.menc problem?
EncFiltLog.menc

There appears to be two scenario's here, and none of them you are going to like.
If some of your files appear with .menc extension (and all your files are there), this means they have been encrypted by WM6. The only way to recover them is with the original device that wrote them.
Please note the following:
if you hard-reset or flash your device you will lose your original code, and all files will become unreadable.
there is no way (as of yet) to find out the encryption code, or back it up
If you only have EncFiltLog.menc file on your SD card, and all your other files are missing, it is extremely likely that you have had file corruption on your SD card and your files have been erased.
Please note the following:
EncFiltLog.menc is a red-herring, it usually exists on all SD cards (a system file, even if you're not using encryption)
You may find a good program to recover your lost files. Do this soon, and don't use the SD card before doing this.
I wouldn't rely on this SD card in the future for anything important.
I hope this helps. NB, I have found some good recovery programs for jpeg files if you're interested. Sorry to be bearer of bad news.
*** Always back up your files to your PC using ActiveSync... frequently ***
(if you have encoded your files, then you MUST use ActiveSync)
Thanks for the update.
This problem mostly happens if you flash your device with sd card inserted.
Try to go back to the prevous rom and I think the content of your sd card will be available again.
Actually, its a new card and all I did was insert it into the phone, then into my computer. I didn't flash anything.
lost a important video of my dead child (menc encoded)
My 8 years girl is dead 6 months ago from leucemia after a 6 years battle. We found our brother in law as now a menc video on is phone. It is one of very few video we have from her where we could ear her talk, so this is important for my wife se could recover it to be able to help her pass with the death.
Since this brother in law did not know how to see the file before talking to us he tried to reset the phone. The file is on his sd card and today we went to telus to transfer the menc files on my pc but the young technician to the sales departement did not know how to read the file. He tried with the vlc but the menc files cannot be read with vlc. And the phone cannot read the file any more. I have a copy of the file. Do you know how to debug this kind of file

I'm sorry to hear that.
Put the video in the same device where it was encoded and transfer to the PC using ActiveSync.
Please note, this video cannot be decoded on other device!

Than i notice that i have a new file on my card 3.4.2009 6:56h on this time that i used this.
How can i get this jpg pictures back ? i have some in the cache, but in the pcm (what the hell is that!!!!!??) file.
Its possible to transform a pcm to a JPEG ?
need help thanks for answer
may be unknown virus
I am sure there is a virus in your system. i had also same problem but there was a 'new folder'(created every time i formatted my memory card) with the same named file.Tried antivirus but could not clean system.i used another computer and problem solved.
Everything deleted except the EncFiltLog.menc file
k, today I also got me. The complete SD-Card was erased, only the fuggin EncFiltLog.menc remained, giggling at its devious work.
I'm using a Loox N560 with newplowe's WM 6.1 20755 ver.063.07 ROM, encryption unchecked form the beginning.
The SD-Card was working fine all the time, until I put into the cardreader of my laptop (I've done that a millions times before with that SD-Card and that ROM). Unfortunately I couldn't recover any files form the SD-Card. Music, navigation software can be restored, but my older backups as well as my *.cab collection is gone.

I know this is a little old thread but I am new here
I just got my 1st windows mobile phone ever the Touch Pro 2. I have had an 8 gig card in my old phone working for a year no problems. I had pictures and video and a bunch of music. I stuck the card in my new phone and didn't think it recognized the card at all. Me being new to all this windows mobile didn't know to go to file explorer and arrow down to memory card so I took the card out out everything on my work computer and was going to try to format the card in the phone. Somehow I put everything back on my card came home and went to put everything on my desktop and I was going to format the card from my pc and that is when I noticed everything was gone on my card also. I had the one file and nothing else.
I didn't have much important stuff on mine but a couple pictures and a video which I can reget but it still upsets me I lost a whole folder of pictures that I don't know if I have on my pc or not. So I formatted the card in my PC and started over. I now have some music a picture and one video as a test. I notice that file is still there is it suppose to be there? The menc or whatever it is. I hope i don't lose my stuff again but I guess I'll back it up this time. The music is always on my pc so I don't care about that but the pics and video mattered.

Can not see SD card *SOLVED*

Hello i Have a (HTC clone NT901??). I had to do a Hard reset, and after that i can't access the storage card. I have included some pictures.
As you can see SKtools detect the card, but not Windows 6.1.
I have tried other Sd cards with no results.
Note that i did not have any SD-card in my phone when the picture with expansion slot "Not in use" was taken.
Maybe someone has a bright idea what the problem might be.
Forgive my english, i'm Swedish.
I'm sorry if this is not the right forum for this ,but i don't know where else i would put it.
regards/MickeF
Edit: I have included my registryfile if someone could look through it.
*SOLVED* Bad soldering in SD-SLOT. Now the card work like a charm.
Check if the pins in the card reader are making contact with the SD card. I had the exact same problem with an iPAQ 210. I couldn't find any way to fix it, not hard resets or anything. Eventually the problem went away on its own(after a month or so). Hope yours eventually starts to work, sorry I couldn't be more help.
DisMountSdcard.exe???
I have looked in the windows directory an found a file called DisMountSdcard.exe
What is that? I have googled it but it did not find any answers. Someone?
I have looked in the registry to find if the exe loads but it don't.
It can't be deleted and says it is writeprotected.
Does the card work in another mobile or PC?
Might there be a problem with the partition or filesystem?
In windows desktop version hard drives are sometimes visible by programs but not windows. That suggest that the filesystem is currupt. Not shure how this works with flashcards and winmo.
Yes it works flawless in another original HTC phone and desktop computer.
Can somebody explain too me how it's possible for SKTools to see the card (only in SD information though), but not by WM 6.1.
I think it's the drivers ieg sdbus.dll or sdhc.dll, sdmemory.dll but i have tried to exchange them to others without results.
No one who can help me???
check the SD is well in other Mobile Phones,if well,just use some tool to format it?Really OK?I don`t have any idea,just try
New pictures
I have now tested my card in my son's Touch Viva (yes it works there) and i have attached the picture in SKtools. You can compare and maybe advice me what to do.
The first picture is with card in Viva, and second from card in my phone.
Dead forum??
Seems that no one is interested in this.
I just ran out of ideas.
If the card works in other computers or phones the card is ok.
If your phone can´t read ANY cards then the problem is your phone.
The next step is to find out if its a hardware or software problem.
It would be good to back up your phone and do a reinstall with a known good ROM. If that fails, then there is something wrong with your hardware. Have you tried cleaning the card slot?
I have cleaned the slot. One thing i don't understand is that SKtools detects the card in SD information as you can see here. If it was a hardware fault it wouldn't be detected att all.
[SD information]
Bus driver version 5.2
Slot 0
Host index 0,slot index 0
Inserted card Memory Card
Card type SD Memory
Interface mode 4 bit(s),Clock rate 25000000
have attached photo on the bad soldering at the sd-slot.
So are you 100% sure that´s the issue (ie. the soldering). If so, great news.
Well after i resolded the microsmall contacts it's working perfectly again. No problems att all with my 4gb SD-card.
Annoying though,but if you buy a chinese mobile maybe you can expect this.
Otherwise i love the phone. It has all the features i want and more, and is nice looking. Internal GPS,WIFI,3,2MP Camera etc.

Cannot save pictures & video to storage card

Hi.
First poster here!
I wanted to get some help with this problem that I have.
I own a Gigabyte Gsmart MW700 phone running Windows Mobile 6 Pro at 520Mhz.
Every function in the phone was working fine, but recently there is something wrong with the camera when taking pictures and video.
I have a 4gb storage card in the phone that every other program accesses and uses. However, the camera just says that the "Storage space is not enough", even though there are about 2gb free in the card.
I have already copied all my files from the card to the computer and formatted the card with the same result. If someone has solved this, I would really appreciate their input.
Thanks!

[Q] Camera / Video no smooth preview / video recording

Hello,
my girlfriend got her new HTC Desire S 2 weeks ago. I have one since it is available in our country. I rooted it and put the same ROM (the newest Galnet from MIUI) on both devices.
The first thing we noticed was the different color saturation of the devices, which is not that big deal (perhaps someone has a solution?).
But a really annoying thing is that on my girlfriends phone the camera app is not able to preview everything like it should. It only updates the screen if some user interaction is done. Touching the screen, ... . If i open the camera app the same thing happens, it even records only 1pic (or less) each second.
I restored the backup but with the original ROM everything is working. Reflashing of MIUI or using another version doesn't solve that problem.
I hope someone has a good hint or a solution for that problem?
Thanks in advance.
Hardware acceleration?!
We also found out that she is not able to watch videos. They look like a slideshow. 1 image a second or less....
It seems that there is a problem with the hardware acceleration?
I did a full wipe (i even formated system / data / cache) so nothing from an old rom can cause this problem.
Are there different chips build into our HTC Desire S. or what can cause these problems?
I hope someone can answer these questions. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mike
I have same problem discussed here

there is no solution for it now ((
Did you had the same problem before you switched the ROM?
I had the problem with slow SD card. Video play was quite smooth but sometimes it was not synced with audio. When I changed SD card to class 10 from class 2 its muuuuch better.

I am pretty sure it's not the sd because youtube videos are lagging too, and they are cached in the RAM (i think). Camera and video preview are also lagging and the preview itself has nothing todo with the sd card too.
But thanks

SD card write permissions

It may sound like a silly question, but where I can enable write permissions for SD card to some applications? I'm not able to delete photos from the Camera app, Google Photo, and Open Camera?
There is no possibility to save Apps on the Card, at least I have the same issue.
After choosing "Memory" from any given App, I have no button which says "Change", even if that is mentioned in the official Manual from HTC. I wrote HTC, if this is a wanted behavior, a common bug, or something individual. As I wrote them yesterday, they haven't answered yet.
Has anyone else this issue?
My Specs: Oreo 8.0.0 Patch Level November 2017, European Version (Bob/Austria)
SD Card is a SanDisk Extreme 64GB UHS 3, so that shouldn't pose a problem either.
Even AppMgr III says, there would be Apps which I could transfer over my SD-Card, but not possible, as there is no "Change" button available in the Memory Section from Apps. I tried preinstalled, new ones, nothing worked.
Had the same problem until I formatted the SD card (using the storage settings menu). Now it's working as expected.
I put the SD card from my old phone (Marshmallow) right into the U11 Life - maybe the old DCIM folder was reused and had some weird access permissions or something

Thanks, although my card was in my Vernee Apollo before and it didn't work with, or without formatting.
Had Marshmallow on Apollo as well.
Have meanwhile tried a different card as well.
W/o formatting as well as with. No difference.
According to that and the fact that HTC is not responding on Mail or Live-Chat, I'm thinking of setting back my U11 life to factory settings.
In all Manuals that I could find, it is never being mentioned, that using Sd-Cards as an extended internal memory should oppose any problem, but I still don't have a "Change" Button in the Memory Settings from any given app.
It's annoying, as my free internal memory gets smaller and smaller each day.
I didn't get a new phone to have problems that are pre-marshmellow.
I am aware it is a new phone and not all occuring problems have been solved, but if one doesn't even get suppot from the supplier, it is even more annoying

Made a reset of the Phone and installed all the Apps but still no possibility to transfer Apps. HTC won't answer either. Their support sucks.
Not answering to Live Chat nor Mails.
Have no clue, how to go on. Space on the card will not be sufficient after a while.

Finally got an answer from HTC.
With the HTC U11 Life it is NOT possible to install Apps on the external SD Card.
This seems due to the Android One Conception, at least I'd think so, because Pixel Phones don't support SD Card either.
If it will be changed for App storing in later OTAs they couldn't say anything.
Took them more than 3 weeks to answer a Ticket.
The hotline though was kinda quick, which I wouldn't have expected.
They had a system issue, which caused the Ticket delay, at least the Lady on the Phone said so.
No mentioning about that in the answered ticket.
This fact really sucks, with the 32GB Version.
Is not full yet and with the Stock Cam App one can automatically save Pics on the SD, at least something.
I'll handle it, as I'm not installing tons of huge games and even Spotify can choose the Card as the space for downloaded Songs.
