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.

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
Greetigs Aragorn
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.

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!!!

Hi all,
I have searched and read a lot before thinking about posting here, i just bought my Verizon galaxy s3 of eBay a day ago and i have some experience in Galaxy S3 tmobile and att, the camera error is something i'm familiar with, and it's usually a software issue that i solve by normal procedures starting from just restarting the device and ending with flash to stock rom, but i'm telling you this time is different the verizon s3 came with the problem and i have tried everything i know and pretty much every solution i found on XDA.
Conclusion:
- rear camera keeps giving the error message " Warning Camera Failed"
- front camera works by third party app "camera fx"
- rear camera has been replaced by another known working camera "still same error"
- here is what will make it even more weird device won't execute any *# codes and by "any" i mean any code.
- everything else seems to be working fine.
so any ideas

So you replaced the camera, reflashed back to stock rom and tried a few third party apps and the camera still not working..sounds like a mother board is defective.
yes, i have done all that and more, the other problem that i can't really understand is the codes that the mobile wont execute.

Could be a physical connection issue between the camera module and the board, but check other things first, such as removing the SD card, trying it, re-inserting it and trying again also put "Camera access failed" into our search box, there are a lot of threads about this, not just for your phone model but others. A hard reset can also be tried, but you'll lose saved data on the phone.
In the end if you conclude it must be a physical connection issue, you can try tapping around the camera but don't be too rough. Otherwise, after trying a hard reset then you'll likely need a repair shop if your not good/experienced with disassembly.
