Camera not working - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi
I've recently load the latest hot fix from HTC website:
Hot fix for TyTN II photo quality issue
If you zoom in on a captured photo and notice grainy, maze-like patterns within the image itself (this problem is caused by too much sharpness enhancement being applied in bright-light environments), please download and install this hot fix to solve the problem. Sharpness parameters within the photo will then be reduced with only a minimal loss of image sharpness.
Now my camera does not work at all, all is see is black. Even if I change to the video call camera its also black.
Is there a setting to enable the camera or is the camera broken? What now?

Me too. Since I applied the update, I cant see anything, but can still take pictures and review/look at them afterwards. Very strange. Hope there's a fix that doesn't involve hard-reset. Uninstalling doesn't want to work either.

You guys might have to change the radio, look into that

Just wanted to say that this hotfix doesn't work with WM6.1.
So if you upgraded your device to WM6.1 you don't need the "Hot fix for TyTN II photo quality issue"
Greets...

had this happen right before flashing a new ROM. Reflashing a ROM fixes that.. assuming you have a correct radio installed, of course.

Try that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2253873&postcount=371
It should fix it

Any help with the camera?

the camera is very slow and when I move the phone there is a delay,
i tried to download the fix from the original site and tried two roms
the original one and a cooked one but still the same
is this normal in tytn2 or is it just my mobile problem?
hope any one can advice
thanks
Hi,
this question was asked a thousand times now, please search the forum.
Anyway, here some short answers to your questions:
- In bright areas the camera works very good.
- Slow and laggy camera in dark (or better: not bright) areas is normal for the Kaiser. I would say it's normal for most PPCs.
- The HTC fix improves the camera a little bit, but not much.
- Flashing other ROMs does not really solve the problem. I've heared there is a ROM that improves the camera performance a litte bit, but not much.
- There's a little trick in dark areas: Switch the PPC off in camera mode and on again after about 3 seconds -> No laggy effect anymore, but the pics will be darker and more blurry.
- Some members here say the bad camera has something to do with the missing graphic drivers, but I personally do not believe that. I think this is more a hardware issue.
For further information please search this forum.

thanks
thanks a lot i thought it was only my htc's problem
hope they will find a way to fix the hardware
Also note that these cameras work best in NATURAL lighting, for instance outdoors it will probably not blur, usually interior lighting causes it to blur during motion. Another BIG factor is the Radio.

auto-focus problem with the camera

Hi guys... i'm new in this forum and i'm a brazilian, so sorry for my bad english
I've got my tytn some weeks ago, but i have a little problem... When I take any photos with the back camera (the 3.0mp one), it always ends up VERY blurred. I've noted that before pressing half-camera button, the camera image is nice, but when i take the photo or press half button, the camera image begins to blur. So, i think this is some problem with the auto-focus feature.
A curious note is that when i take/focus photos from very close (aprox 2-5cm from the camera), doesn't show any blur at all... but more far than that it gets completely blurred. And before doing any focusing, the camera picture isn't blurred at all.
The front camera photos don't get blurred because they haven't got any auto-focus, so the pics are shot instantenously.
Anybody has any idea of how fix that blur in the back camera? or at least how to deactivate the auto-focus so i can take some pic from distance?
Oh yes, i already cleaned the lens from inside and outside.
Thank everybody for the patience, and sorry for the bad english

Yeah, i've tried that, but the photo still come blurred without the battery cover.
If you guys want, i can take some photos and upload them so you guys can see the blurred photos.

I use an original WM 6.1 rom, build 3.28.405.0 WWE from date 05/02/08
My radio is version 1.65.17.56
Just a note, this rom was flashed, my original rom was a 6.0 one with radio version 1.26.xx and rom build 1.7xxx from 2007 (i can't remember)
but even with the out of the box rom, the camera wasn't right, I think (I haven't used the camera until a little time ago)
BAD HTC autofocus
I have exactly the same problem with my Polaris Htc!! Please find a solution!!!I tried everything to resolve it but nothing worked. SOme people say it is a hardware problem, but i hope it is a software problem...
Please help me!!!
Thanks for all

try updating your camera app to this one
Nadavi's Camera
make sure u install HTC album first or else the Camera app will show a black screen while taking pics.
Also make sure your environment is well light and hold the camera still while takings pics, HTC didnt exactly make the best camera for this phone.
i had the exact same problem with my htc kaiser.
after 1 1/2 year, i decided to send it back to t-mobile to have it replaced due to a hardware warranty issue. the knew about the problem. there seems to be something wrong with the lense/sensor the auto-fokus uses. dunno.
about 2 days later i got my replacement tilt (refurbished one), reflashed to a anryl wm6.5 rom i used before and now the picture are way better
so you might try to get yours replaced.
The point is: your autofocus does not keep its parameters while the image is shot. Try hard resetting Kaiser, then install Nadavi's patch mentioned above, add latest HTC Camera and welcome!
P.S. If you do really need a cam in your Kaiser, switch to Android. Some builds support the camera, but it is... manual. I mean, you focus with a scroller wheel: far from perfect, but in some 50 pics taken you'll be into it quite nicely.
set the camera button to take the picture immediately and not full press

[Q] upgraded to Froyo.JHJP4 - camera quality got worse - plz hlp!

I'm using SGS, and runing the Froyo.JHJP4 (Israeli Orange ROM),
One of the problems was with the camera that didn't work at first, so I installed a fix for that (GT-I9000PTRJP4_KERNEL.zip).
after that I tested the camera and discovered something very annoying:
The quality of the camera got much worse compared to the 2.1 version,
and it looks as if it's in constant "Night mode"... so the image moves slowly while moving the camera, and the images are very grained and quality is down.
I checked the settings, and everything look normal:
The night mode is OFF
and the Quality is at BEST.
Anyone familiar with this problem??
I really like this ROM and don't want to change it again, but the camera is important to me...
THANX!

[Q] Camera picture problems

hello i got some strange problems with my I9000 on DarkyRom v10.2.2
my camera got some faliure i think, after i take a shot, everything looks good. But when i get out of the camera software and try to view the pictures with some other software sometimes my who picture is grey / black or huge parts of pictures are grey/black.
I tried to search the net but nobody got similar problems, some times my camera is working fine, but some times i have this problem.
Are the images big? It could be that they need some time to load and you just have to be patient let me know, as I too had issues on DarkyROM 10.2.2
images in the player's normal ROM you can see after this wait? or still do not see?

[Q] Camera screen black, but able to take photos

Hey guys, hope you can help me.
I've been using Cyanogen for a few months and now I face this problem:
When I use the camera, i see a black screen with controls, and can take pictures, however, I see a black screen and not what you expect to see as the view is the camera lens.
I've tried doing a nandroid (just in case camera or something was damaged) a full wipe, applying a rom from scratch and camera works correctly...
I'm guessing it may be an app or some setting bothering.
I don't want to configure everything from start, please help me
More information: this issue seems to happen before installing Motomizer and applying one touch optimization, and if it's uninstalled, problem keeps going
I've found that at the same time I cannot see any video on youtube videos.... maybe it's an overlay video problem?
Anyone?
Solved!
Dear jhonnyx,
I had the exactly same issue and I found it was a Kernel issue.
I was using wrong CF-Root and solved it just by flashing new kernel.
To solve the the problem just flash another kernel for your device, I prefer Siyah or DorimanX.
Hope this will help!
