Help my camera isn't starting anymore!

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 had the same problem ad now its suddenly working

Looking at the camera launching process, I've found a link like:
_camera.lnk
that contains:

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

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

Camera not initializing

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.

// 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.

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!!!

Screen get to Bright and stop communicate

Don't know how to name my problem, so...
when I'm writing messages, sometimes screen get to bright and I cannot send, cannot phone, nothing. When I turn off Uni, and turn it on again, it ask me for a password - I don't have any password.
I tried to slow down CPU, I tried to minimize file system cach... still don't know, where's the problem. Now, I think, the amout of messages mayby the problem. So, I deleted half of them and wait, what happened.
Does anyone have similar experience?

I've realised that the problem is caused by outlook (mean sms|emails messanger). The program is named tmail.exe. When I shut this program by taskmanager, the screen get normal and other function too. Even phone (lastly i forgot to write, when I get this bug, and try to open phone, i get error message (this program does not cooperate)).
I found, that this ROM - Tomal (Ranju) 7.7 is made from Wizard ROM - maybe this is the prob.
Does someone know what's happening? And how to get it normal. I think (but have not prove it yet), that after flash it is normal. And couple of days after, all is getting worse. Only what I've installed after flash was SPB pocket plus and Tom Tom 6. No other programs.

i had the same problem in one of the earlier roms i tried....
It can be quite frustrating for sure! Try other roms and see what works, I couldnt find what the problem was and i just moved on to another rom!
San

I tried also TOMAL 8.2 rom. And the problem doesn't dissappear.
Maybe it's collision between SPB pocket plus and WK task manager. So I turn off Wk task manager (which is preinstalled with TML rom) and see what happend.

So... noone has suggestions?

i have seen this in every rom i used. somewhere here somebody even posted photos of his uni while this happened. probably reason for this is a some low-level os bug which lead to this thing, maybe overflow of some cache because for me this happened only when i was typing a lot, no matter which program i used, the result was the same. the only solution i found is to soft-reset your device every hour even if everything seems to be ok at that moment.

Touch screen causing me to answer/cancel calls when phone is in my pocket

I've had my Touch Pro for a while now but I've always had one problem with it that is pretty darn annoying, & that is that the phone seems to auto-unlock when I'm receiving calls. And so, many times the phone has answered the call in my pocket & I've had no idea. Or worse yet, it's cancelled the phone call without me getting round to even take the phone out of my pocket. I wondered if there was any fix for this.
I'm pretty damn sure that I've seen this problem before when roaming around here & PPCgeeks but after spending the past half hour or so trying to look for a fix, I just can't seem to find one. And so, I knew that if I just posted a thread that someone would most likely be able to help me & it'd all be alot easier than me spending all day trying to find whatever it is I need.
Oh, & before you ask, I've not got any custom ROMs or anything on my phone. I've installed apps from here, & some other stuff, but it's all just on the standard XDA Serra ROM.

you could install the Tachi dialer which gives a sliding mechanism if answering the phone
or swtich on auto lock after backlight dim

Free program called slide to unlock "s2u2" will work, also, you can download the program Advanced Configuration, and there is an option to allow the default slide lock that is built into windows mobile. The screen will still light up, but, unless you unlock the screen, it won't answer the call.

Clicking 'Details' doesn't seem to do anything, except give me the 2nd paragraph from above (about the .NET framework).

Oh, & yeah, thanks for the help guys.

[Q] Internet Explorer problem

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with Internet Explorer on my HD7
Since yesterday, Internet Explorer refuses to open from the start screen or Apps list. Clicking on web links in emails does not work, clicking on pinned web pages does not work. Live tiles, Emails, RSS feeds, texts, Phone calls etc. work as expected. I have downloaded several third party browsers which work as expected.
I have checked using 3G and Wifi connections, and soft reset multiple times to no avail
I have searched and have not seen anyone else reporting this problem which leads me to suspect it's a device specific software problem. I was following my normal morning routine yesterday, reading the emails with new and updated posts from XDA when it suddenly stopped opening the links in the emails. I tried opening up Internet Explorer and this too failed. The animation transition starts to take place when pushing the I.E. tile, and then it comes back to the start screen.
I am running 7720 and have not played around with the phone or changed anything to cause this problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts before I go ahead and press the "Reset your phone" button ??
Thanks in advance,
Garrickus

Work around
Hi,
Got the same problem with no available solution till now.
I just have a workaround for you, disable in settings the "open links in new tab" and you should be able to use IE9 again afterwards.
Tabs will not work though.
I even read somewhere that hard reseting device will not solve the problem !!??
Do it or not and tell me if you find something.

Thomas

I can confirm your solution does indeed work as you describe, and yes, tabs are now broken
I'm curious as to your firmware version and operator, as there may be a link ?
You say you read "somewhere" that hard resetting the phone doesn't fix the problem , (I haven't as yet done so myself, as I'm currently compiling word docs of Internet Explorer favourites etc. and uploading them to Skydrive so I can restore them later ) which implies someone else has also encountered this problem ?
If a hard reset doesn't work for me (I'm waiting on the weekend to do this as it'll probably take hours ) then I'm seriously thinking of upgrading the sdhc card to a 32gb one and flashing a custom rom
I'll keep you updated.
And once again, thank you for taking the time to reply , with well over a hundred views, I was beginning to think I was invisible
Garrickus

i would flash a custom rom (you have the requirements), its easy to do (just search for it) and the advantages of it are great. you would never want to go back to an official rom again.

I haven't heard of this problem before, and don't have a direct fix - I'd need to examine your phones in some detail to do so.
However, if you have a full-unlocked phone, or you have WP7 Root Tools, I'm releasing an app that can configure your phone to use a third-party app as the default beowser (on my phone, I'm currently using IE+, for example). There are some caveats - not all browsers will be supported, and not all of IE's features work on third-party browsers - but it should work to let you open links sent in emails or SMS or apps. They have tabs too (in fact, IE+ has better tab management than IE9; one reason I use it).

Glad to see it partially solved your problem ;-)
My device is a Samsung Omnia 7 with latest firmware and mango installed (do not have the disapearing keyboard fix).
I suspect either windowbreak interop unlock method or windows phone manager to be the culprit with our tabs problem. Are you interop unlocked ? Have you installed Windows Phone Manager ? Have you sideloaded any app ?

Funnily enough, I hadn't heard of this problem either, before it manifested itself on my phone so it can't be widespread.
I'd love to allow you (you Windows Phone Guru ) access to my phone, if it would help me and the community, but, it's my main device and your too far away to visit
I have a stock phone so I doubt there is any kind of dump or something I can do to provide more clarification on the problem, but it's very real and very annoying
I had a quick search for "IE+" in the marketplace, but didn't see it. Could you provide a link please ? Or did you sideload it ?
If the hard reset doesn't work, my carrier has said they will swop it out for a refurbished unit, so I have a couple of options.
If I get my act together by the weekend, I might upload a video of the problem to YouTube for information purposes.
Also, my phone has been exhibiting some strangeness for a while now. Occasionally freezing up, then unfreezing itself. Internet Explorer freezing when the loading bar reaches 4/5's distance, and taking ages to finish loading. Some tiles (third party only) losing their images but not the text, or backing out of an app to the Start screen resulting in all the tiles being empty for a few seconds before filling in. Start screen flashing green and crackly looking. None of them particularly bothered me too much till now.
I'll keep you all posted.

Yes, thank you. I was beginning to go mad with it lol.
I too am running Mango without the disappearing keyboard fix, but I am not windows broken, iterop or any other kind of unlock, or used any kind of programs other than Zune, so we don't have that in common I'm afraid.
Thanks anyway

IE+ is being published to the Marketplace this week, I think. There's a pre-release build of it available on this forum, but I'm not sure if that version supports the required behavior for be-the-default-browser support. I'm looking at other apps too (requires decompiling them, unless I can get a chance to talk to the developer, but that's usually easy).
However, if your phone isn't interop-unlocked, you wouldn't be able to use the switcher anyhow, though. It requires TCB (or "root") permissions, because it needs to write to the registry. It's possible to interop-unlock your phone (I have an HD7 myself), but you'd need to downgrade the firmware first.
The list of bugs you're experienced sounds like it *might* actually be some kind of defective hardware. The usual problem is the internal microSD card that is used for storage on the phone being defective or coming loose. There are a few other possibilities too, though. Unfortunately, trying to fix them yourself is likely to void your warranty, with no guarantee of success.

Video uploaded to Youtube
Hi all,
So my problem persists, and I am due to hard reset the phone to see if that solves the issue in the next couple of days. Before I do so however, I have uploaded a video showing the problem to Youtube for information purposes.
Lets see if anyone else is having the same problem, and if a solution exists.
Here's the link to the video

If the hard reset doesn't work, my carrier have said they will swop the unit for a refurbished one. Does anyone have any experiences of this ? Are they like new ? Or beaten up a bit ?

So far, the only advice offered is to hard reset the phone, with some users reporting this solved their issue. One user reported that although it solved their issue, now their phone tile doesn't work

After hard reset
Hey everyone,
So I hard reset my phone on Thursday
and as a result, Internet Explorer now works again as it should
I decided not to restore a backup, and set up the phone manually (which took about 3 hours ).
A couple of things I've noticed since -
Battery life seems massively improved , now reporting over a days use on a full battery. I'll keep an eye on this as before I was only getting about 14 hours.
Another thing I've noticed is the keyboard. Now when I type, it highlights the word it thinks I want to use in bold, and it definitely didn't do that before
I'll keep you all posted on how things go over the next couple of weeks, if any of the problems I reported show up again, but, fingers crossed, it's all good for now, and loving my phone again.
Thanks for all your input.

Have a question... Does Hard resetting the device keep the os updates ?? (Mango, etc..) Or do you have to apply them again afterwards ?

Too bad. I have this problem too. Last night after connect to public wi-fi and enter username & password in automatic IE pop-up.
You can't open IE if your setting of "Open links from other apps in" is "A new tab". If change this settings to "The current tab" you can open multi-IE for multi-tab but can't use normal tab.
I think I will HR my device too.

No, interop unlocked will go away.

I am facing similar issue. I guess I know when it started (but not sure about it)
I had opened Google Search app. I was searching some images. In results displayed, I clicked 1 imgage. It opened Internet Explorer. When I tried to open "Tab" from Menu to close tab and exit IE, IE was simply not getting close and it was opening continously. I finally pressed Power button to switch off phone. After phone was restarted, I observed that while internet explorer is open and I open the tabs, it shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't show the tab for the page that is currently open or none of the other tabs that are open. Rather it shows Blank page with symbol to add new tab. But even new tab is not getting added. I tried several reboot on phone but somehow "Tab" thing is broken. I am also having feeling that Internet Explorer running in the backround that will not close even after a restart.
I dont want to Hard Rest Phone, but I think its only Solution for now. Hope MS fix this issue in WP7.8.
