I installed the GPS Dopod rom a few days ago and everything worked fine.
Now at once my camera doesnt start anymore, with message:
Unable to start Camera.
Unable to initialize camera.
Haven't changed anything in the last days.
So I wonder, why didn't HTC come up with this GPS rom immediately?
There must have been problems, were those camera problems?
Is your camera still working?

yep (with dopod rom)
No problems with dopod test ROM here. Except I notice that sometimes it locks up after using a GPS program whether it be iguidance or tomtom.
Hmm sorry my mistake.
Was trying some ati drivers from another rom.
That caused the problem.
Camera is working again.

Slightly off-topic but still related to the Trinity camera....
Has anybody tried playing with the hue, saturation and contrast settings to obtain decent outdoor pictures? I can't believe pictures from this thing can be so awful. I had a Qtek S200 before and pictures were bad but now with the trinity they are 10 times worse.
Camera OK

Really ? But it is still failed on me even though I had upgraded mine to Windows Mobile 6.0 (HTC official ROM) recently. It only happens when I try to switch to seconday camera instead of main.
I still got the same error messages as stated before.
"Unable to start Camera.
Unable to initialize camera"

Secondary camera doesn't work !
"Unable to start Camera.
Unable to initialize camera"
The error messages above occurred when I switch my camera mode to use secondary camera. When I'm using video calling mode, I can see only blank (dark) video output. I'm not sure if this is a common problem in Dopod D810 once upgraded to WM6.0. I had asked the HTC support (Singapore) about it and they recommended me to send to Service Center. I'm reluctant to send over my unit to them since it is already out of warranty and am sure it would be quite costly for me to bear.
I wish if anyone of you here has similar problem like I had, do share your experience and your workaround solutions (if any). If there's none at all, I assume this is more to hardware related issues. Which I can't do anything about it but to live with it
Thanks again.

Hello,
I've tried to find this issue in the forums, but can't.
I have a problem with my camera on the AT&T Tilt (8925), it really slows down in low light settings. Unless it's really bright or sunny it takes horrible pictures. The preview mode jumps and skips.(I'm using the ROM it came with)
The 8525 that I had before would take pictures and video no problem in semi low light situations, but the Tilt is not even close.
Please let me know if other people are having the same problem or if you think I have a defective unit or something is wrong with the ROM.
I don't think anyone has ever had a problem with their camera in low light. It must be just your phone. I would take it back to ATT and demand a refund and a free phone for your troubles.
i agree, i think not a single person in this forum has any issue with using the camera in low light conditions. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if you look in the kaiser wiki, you will see nothing about low fps in the camera at all.

Oh, which reminds me, I was going to bring this up after I tested it as working or not.
I had a webcam that had the same problem as this phone's does.
Point being, I was going to install the latest camera software because that one (the 5.xx version) had different registry settings than the 4.xx one did. And I THINK, that there was a registry setting that defined the different increments available for the lighting scenarios.
EG: you should be able to deactivate the camera's ability to auto adjust to light, or at least increase the time before it does to some unholy number.

How can you say you couldn't find the answer? There are tons of threads and a classaction law suite (or something like that) with this problem stamped all over it.
Hey guys,
This is really disturbing me. I ordered my Kaiser from a company in Hong Kong because the one in USA was a stripped down version. It had some liquid damage so I sent it for repair. The phone just came back in the mail and the camera is very sluggish. When I move the camera around, the picture becomes blurry. When I stop moving it, the picture comes back to normal after a second or so.
The HTC guys said they replaced the main board. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it or if the ROM they installed on it is causing this to happen. I did notice that the radio ROM is older than what it had installed initially ( it was 1.83 now its 1.65).
Please advice what I should do to correct this problem.
Thanks in advance
Yeah it would be a good idea to try a new radio, as they have been proven to be related to the camera.(why a radio would have anything to do with camera hardware i dont know) Also there are newer htc cameraversions out which will give you a little speed boost. dont expect much, everyone's kaiser has a sluggish camera.Some say it is due to a lack of video drivers but we wont really know until(?) the drivers come out. the camera is actually pretty damn good as far as quality, but the screen responsiveness sucks mah bawls. For me, it was a matter of getting used to the laggyness, and its bearable. somebody please release some drivers dammit! hope this helped. peace.
Thanks for the reply.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=v5NM1aD9VrY In that video, you can see how responsive the screen is when the guy moves the camera to take the picture of a Treo. My phone's camera was as responsive as that. Now, it behaves like a camera of a normal flip phone where the picture gets blurry when you move the camera.
I will try upgrading the radio ROM and the regular ROM and see if that will work.
EDIT: They installed WM6.1 but I had WM6 when I send it for repair. Could that be the reason for sluggishness? Can anyone confirm if the camera gets sluggish when you install WM6.1 on kaiser?
Hi guys 1st post here, Im having a problem with my X1 camera shutter button. Here it is, when im in the todays screen when i press the camera shutter ofcourse it will activate the camera application, and now here is my problem when I'm now in the camera application when I press the camera shutter nothing is happening, it's not focusing nor taking a shot but when I'm outside the camera application it is working. Any guys have an idea on how to solve the issue? Please give some advice, thanks!
You say that it does work when you're outside? If that is so, there's obviously nothing wrong with your X1, as the unit doesn't "detect" wheter it's indoors or outside
I'm thinking more along the lines of it's working, but it just takes a while. When inside with low light intensity, it might take time for the software to focus.

I mean outside is when i'm not in "camera application (taking picture mode application)". Not outside (outdoor) literally. The shutter button is not pressing.
That is very odd indeed.
1) Have you tried a hard-reset?
2) Have you installed any custom ROM's?
So far i did'nt hard reset nor install custom rom on my fone. I think that is my last choice if can't rid of this problem.
Does it work when pressing the joystick button instead of the camera button?

Have you tried soft resetting alone? Might be enough to fix it.
@on8a
yes, i used this button as an alternative shot at the cost of no automatic focus.
@THESpideyWVU
Yes i tried the soft reset.
Im not quite sure if this is the cause of the problem, the last time it was not working since I installed some softwares like Handango InHand and Resco Keyboard Pro, Im not satisfied with the software and then unistall them both.
I have the same problem - haven't found a solution.
The hardware camera button will launch the camer application (so yes, it is 'working') but it doesn't seem to be mapped to actually take a shot any more. It won't even auto-focus... it just does nothing once the camera program is open. The joystick button will take pics fine.
Seen several posts from multiple people about this problem (on several sites!) but none with an answer!!!
Hi,
Can't believe it - I was gonna post a question about this today as I have discovered my camera button doing the same - it will launch the camera app but not actually take a photo.
I had Resco Contact Manager installed too but have removed it. I also have AE Button Plus installed, so am not sure if this is messing about with the key mapping.
Shame no-one's got an idea!
Does anyone know anything about where this might be stored in the reg?
Cheers all
Sounds to me as if a (any) program messed this up. First you guys/gals need to find a common program or software developer to see if that is somehow a commonality.
The other, in my opinion faster way to find that out, the first one with that problem and having any such program installed, who restores/resets the phone and then the button works again.... that will in any case proof for that instance that it was any of such programs that messed it up in the first place.
Just a suggestion...
*bumb*
I'm having the same problem. Any news on this matter?
Just discovered recently I am having the same problem. The thing is tat even the volume buttons which is supposed to make it zoom doesnt work also.
The strange thing is tat the volume (zoom) button and the focus-take picture button will work when i slide out the keyboard. But it is just weird tat I have to slide out the keyboard to take a picture and the button is not so accesible either.
Indeed. I'm having this problem as well. Might be a program conflict but I have no idea which. Do any of you have GProfile/GAlarm/FingerKeyboard2 installed as well?

What is the Firmware you guys are using? How about flashing to the latest 'official' one and see/check PRIOR installation of those programs, if the issue is there. If so, call SE for warranty because then its probably a hardware issue.
Otherwise I guess very strongly that those 'keyboard mapping programs' mess up this button. It seems obvious to me at least! "Remapping Keyboard Button"... then camera button doesn't works... hm...
hi
anyone found any solution yet. i am facing the same problem as well. I cannot remember when it started not to work but i remember it is still working before i update to the official R3a firmware. I have also installed the auto-flash and disabled the shutter sound. Did any of these broke the key function?

I have GAlarm and Fingerkeyboard2 installed but i cannot remember if the button works before i installed these programs. I have also discovered that my camera button works, meaning i can do focus and take pictures if i slide out my keyboard, therefore i think it is more of a software issue rather than hardware defects

Out of those three, I have G-Alarm installed. No camera button mapping problem.

I have the problem on the latest FW..both on the official 6.1 and the cooked 6.5 roms. I have a feeling that it might be FingerKboard2 but I haven't uninstalled it to try yet. The only app that I had which remapped anything was GProfile but uninstalling that didn't change anything.
Shutter key DOES work when keyboard is slid out though.
I have this issue as well...
i only have the Rhoidum keyboard installed.
There is a little problem about photo-taking by using the secondary camera. At the live view everything seems to be OK but after snap the pic I find it is transposed. Maybe it's the camera driver's problem.
I flash a patch, which was found at another forum and said to fix it well at ver 1.1.3, and the problem remains the same, not effective.
Could anybody help to find a solution? Thanks.
I am not much interested in camera when i bought Mi A2, it works fine. but recently when i was taking picture, it was half side blur and i was not able to make focus on upper side of camera. i tried all modes but no use. I have Note 6 Pro and it's camera functions and focus properly.
in mi A2 I observed when in MANUAL mode i select Lens as LOW LIGHT, it works (but in manual mode only).
do any one has some solution or give reason to behave camera like this.
Same here
It was a February patch bug and it seems to persist in March patch... Xiaomi.

This is a hardware problem, I also had this, give the phone a guarantee.
P.S. sorry for english(
How so we both have exactly the same problem and mine started with pie?
Looks like this is a hardware issue, I'm having the same problem after 4 months of use.
Same here, I also took it to guarantee and they told me it was a software problem, but when they gave it back to me nothing had changed. Camera still not working

I had ordered it from this website but I had paid the cheapest shipping, I'm from Mexico so it will take a while to arrive to my country.. maybe next month..
I had the same problem and replaced the camera module with a new one, and the problem was fixed... temporarily because 3 months after it started happening again with the new camera, so either I am super unlucky, or it must be some other defect in the phone that tends to breaks the primaey cameras...
At this point I don't think I am going to replace it again. Do you know of any way of recording videos with the low light camera?
I have the same issue. In fact this issue persists in the video mode as well. Its okay for videos of objects nearby but move even a few metres away and it becomes very difficult to focus. I was at this concert and wanted to record the performance but only got a very blurry video with muffled sound. For photos this issue is especially an inconvenience when taking photographs of documents etc where you could very well do without the unnecessary bokeh effect. In MANUAL mode this does reduce a bit, but not to any extent that helps.
I was just told by a friend that installing the Google camera mod might help, but I'm yet to try it out.
I have same problem with upper side blur. Seems that switching to "manual" mode and change "lens" from "regular" to "low light", as said by the original user. It works fine with me. Thanks for the tips ! ........ so it is not the hardware problem, it is a software problem. Changing camera may not work ! Don't know if they are going to release new firmware to solve it or not ?? Any idea how to upgrade the firmware ?

If it is a hardware problem I do not see why it would prevent using the secondary camera, it can be a problem with the lenses (Have you thrown or hit your phone?) and not with the module. There are those who have returned to Oreo and the problem persists.
