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

Hi tittula,

I sent it and now I am waiting

Same problem
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

flashed with SNN ROM - problem with bluetooth and redial

hey guys.
i'm pretty new at this. i unlocked my phone way back over a year ago, but didn't do much other than add a bunch of programs and emulators. never flashed the rom....until yesterday night.
now i have IPL & SPL 3.08, Radio 2.71.11, OS 10.0.0.10 (i think) and flashed with SNN Diamond.
i'm having two problems (so far anyways):
1. bluetooth is not working right. i can connect to other phones. i can connect to the car bluetooth system and i can hear other people. but they can't hear me. this is a pretty big deal because i need to use bluetooth! how can i fix this problem?
2. this is not essential but it's annoying. when i hang up a call, i can't press "call" from the same screen (i.e. redial) because nothing will happen. it doesn't matter if i press the call button on screen or the actual hard button, the dialer wont call unless i go into phone book or history or otherwise enter the a number. just can't redial how do i fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
1. Try using other bluetooth device and make sure it is working in other device. Make sure "Receive all incomming beams" is ticked ( i.e Go to Start Manu -> Settings -> Connection Tab -> Click Beam and tick "Receive all incomming beams" then OK )
2. Use phone canvas. I think it takes mode memory but it is very good.
See this link
Plz Reply
Thanks
Srikanth.K

thanks. got the bluetooth working now
now i'm trying to figure out how to use phone canvas 'cause it's installed but i can't find it anywhere
but now i dont have to remove this ROM
EDIT: so apparently my attempt at installing the skins from the link you gave me are not working (well, they dont show up) because i need to install phonecanvas first? i found the link on the forums and i'm trying to install the file but after taking a while installing it, it ends saying it was unsuccesful...can you help me with that?

Hi,
Go to this link ( by MBarvian ), download and install.
Make your uninstall all the dialer skins if you have installed any..
Bye 4 Now

well the problem is that file wont succesfully install.
i can't remove the dialer skin i have now because it was cooked into the ROM. there's no setting or option anywhere that i can find to remove it. frankly, i love the way it looks. so i'm going to stick with it for now and see if it's not totally unbearable.
if i see i really can't stand not being able to redial i'll get back to this thread. thanks for the help so far

[Q] HTC Mozart From Telstra stuck in a Demo mode??

Hi,
I've receieved a HTC Mozart as an evaluation device from Telstra for my company, but when I boot it up it does not seem to go through the normal setup process.
It boots and when it is pre-populated with some data such as contacts, text messages, emails, calander entries, etc. I have hard reset the device and it comes back to the same place after it goes through the loading process, at no stage am i prompted to enter my windows live ID or anything like that and there is already an example account present.
Is this some sort of demonstration mode the phone is set in???
Thanks,
Ryan

i would suggest contacting telstra? maybe they sent you a demo model by mistake? though to be honest if this was that case that would be one of the most funniest things they could do to a customer. it was just halloween? didn't you give them a treat?

We all know Sol took all the treats with him when he left LOL

Everytime i unlock the phone it get a text message that tells me welcome to windows phone 7 and the screen saver is a demo that says 'touch to begin' and I am unable to use my windows live login as there is an account called [email protected] that cannot be deleted and cannot be changed.

Try flashing the std ruu package from the mozart forum? Might have a demo rom on it.

Are you able to hard reset it?
If not then contact Telstra and they should replace it.

How do I install the generic RUU on the mozart? I have been a blackberry user previously.

Mate, dont bother, take it back to telstra.

It Would seem not all people actually read the questions in these forums very well - having acquired one of these STORE DEMO ROM Mozarts as well I know exactly what you are saying - Mate - Check my post Under the Telstra ROM in the ROM section of Mozart Development Forum. Should be around post 3.
This is how I reflashed/unlocked from store demo mode and now have a fully functioning HTC Mozart.
Should help you out.

I believe i purchased a store demo HTC Surround, as it does exactly what you describe your mozart doing. I hope soon there will be a way to flash the rom because my battery dies from all the bogus updates and the screensaver or splash screen. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, anyone here please plz plz plz help us out with this annoying thing ever. ....
GREAT GREATLY Appreciate ... it makes me piss off !!!

It's amazing how many of these demo phones make it out in the real world.

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

[Q] Motorola Atrix 2(MB865) doesnt detect mobile network

Hi,
I have a Motorola atrix 2. All of sudden it stopped detecting mobile(sim) network. It was working fine , in the morning when I woke up , when i tried to call it was showing flight moded is on and when i tried to to disable flight mode I could not do it , I did a factory reset , it didnt not resolve the issue. I thought it was sim problem , i changed the sim , that also didnt work. I tried recovery it also did not work. Sometimes it detects network but i could not make any call.Most of the times it doesnt detect network(it shows red plus sign).When i try to search for networks , it lists networks after 3-4 minutes(Vodafone , airtel , idea etc) ,But i fails to register with the network.
COuld you please suggest a solution. Is it hardware or software issue?
Thanks,
Hairsh

There is a file called "radio.img" it's the software part concerned with cell network so probably if the problem came from software it (would) be that file, so please answer this Q first:
have you played and flashed some ROMs and Kernels?? is your phone rooted?

No I have not flashed or played with ROM or Kernel. What I did was my phone was attached to my laptop as USB storage and I removed directly(not safe removal , did not do safe detach). My phone is not rooted , Initially I had Gingerbread(when bought) after that I got official ICS update.

Great...now you need to fxz (it means flash the original Motorola firmware and restore it's initial state)
so here is what you need:
1) The same firmware (that's why I was asking you about system version)...download from here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=17&file=351
copy it to desktop
2) Motorola Driver
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/65297309/file.html
install it.
3) RSD Lite (it's the application used to flash)
http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/85618478/file.html
install it.
>>Now charge your battery to 100% that's very important.
>>backup your important info. from contacts to messages..etc.
>>Turn off your phone.
>>Enter Fast-boot mode by pressing (volume up+ volume down + power button) at the same time..the phone will turn on with a menu...press volume down to move the selector to (AB Fast boot) then press volume up to enter that mode.
>>you now should see "Battery OK"
>> Connect your phone to PC with the usb cable and wait to see connection has changed to "USB Connected" in phone
>>open RSD Lite and follow that video instructions:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHaEHjSzvQQ
Caution: Don't ever try to cut the flashing operation or your phone will be completely dead...so it's recommended to disable your antivirus while flashing and other services..just leave your PC alone till RSD Lite finishes the flashing.
It's not hard to fxz but please be careful with every step...... HAPPY FLASHING

My internet is slow , its taking time in downloading the firmware image. I will update you once I complete the process , thank you very much for the kind help.

Flashing was successful but for my bad luck the problem still exists. I think its an hardware issue. Do you have any idea? is it repairable? if repairable what would be the cost? Thank you very much for your support.

Good news ,it started working , i rebooted some 4-5 times after flashing firmware ,it started working now.
Thanks for your support. Thank you very much.

Sorry to say that my phone has gone mad. Now it shows network , but I could not able to make call ,if I call anybody it just gets cut and I am not able to receive any calls. Earlier it worked for some time i received 2 calls and I made 2-3 calls. Now calls are not going and not coming also.

I see that flashing original firmware doesn't help....sorry to say but it's now definitely a hardware problem
I guess that when plugging out the USB cable "specially if you unplug it slowly" some current leakage has reversed back and burned a tiny connections on the board.
actually I don't know the repair cost in service center...it depends on how much damage happened on board.
Note: maybe the battery is part of the problem...if your battery isn't genuine it may lead to that crazy behavior specially when making call or receiving calls as battery is required to raise up it's current to wake up some chips and provide more power to the antenna....if the battery was bad or damaged it can't raise it's power suddenly so system will goes crazy and may restart or freeze...etc
Make sure that your battery is genuine and not too old or that generic Chinese bad batteries as they aren't stable and may cause a current spike "extremely bad for electronics" when moving from charging mode to discharging mode and that's exactly what I think it happened to you.

Thanks. I will try to take it a repair centre , Lets see whether they can fix it. Bad part is Motorola no more provides service for Atrix 2 in India. I have to find someone who has expertise in fixing Atrix 2 problems.

Hi Harish,
Before you go to the service center, try changing your SIM card.
I once had problem with my new MotoZine restarting everytime I clicked a pic. I took it to the service center, they reinstalled OS. That did not work. Then we changed the sim card, and miraculously it worked.
I know its weird, but its worth a try.
