Hi Guys,
My apologies if this has been posted already, but I couldn’t seem to find anything on it.....I have had my Diamond for about 2 weeks and the camera hardly ever works. 90% of the time when i start it all i get is the Photo logo and then a blank screen. If i push the capture button, a few seconds later I get the error "Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from camera device". I have done the latest HTC official update to ROM 1.93, I have soft reset and hard reset and no luck Sometimes if I do a soft reset it will work for a little bit and then just stop working again.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Grim
you may need to install one of x-dev custom ROMs, or try hard reseting your diamond. if the problem still exist after Hard Reset, probably it is hardware trouble.
read read and read before you install Cooked roms from xda-developers. you need to do HardSPL before instaling any other ROMs
Thanks for the response!
I have hard reset the device a few times, and no luck. I dont reallt want to install a cooked ROM, I dont think I can handle it to be honest. I will take it that it is a Hardware fault and I will be sending it back tmrw. Thanks again!
Hi Grim! I have the same problem. I've installed 1.93 official ROM and even SwiftBl 7.5, I've upgraded my Radio From .05 to .08 , but my camera is still like yours.
Have you find a solution? Did HTC service Center change your device?
Thanks..
İ have the same problem and could not find a solution for it...
Dear All,
I have same problem. Camera crashes after 1 or two photo. I have black screen.
Tried many Rom's. no fix .
How could you fix ?
anyone got a solution for this problem?
is the diamond camera hopless?
no solution for this error till now?
This issue realy bugs me now. Every time I've change the OS it work for a bit then it dies. realy anoying. Anyones suggestion may be usefull.
If it is the hardware - is it the camera? Could it be just gone loose?
There´s few steps to take.
If camera works sometimes, I think, it´s not a camera problem on itself.
(IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO PARTS AND YOU KNOW WHAT U`RE DOING)
Try this:
Exchange flex and flash (use official RUU htc).
Or:
Put phone inbootloader, disconnect flex from board (while working and booloader on) and flash.
If everything else fails, I´m affraid the PCB has internal flash IC problems.
Dont have parts but will open it and check flex. If flash is gone how come mtty does not flag some segments as bad. Checking around the web looks like I am not the only one with this problem.
all you Coders... please help us with the camera issue.
Hey guys..
this camera for touch diamond is screwing..
tried various methods.. flashed everything possible..
still no luck..
if any xda user outthere.. who has the solution for this problem..
please help up..
my device is out of warranty..
thanks
I've found out if you take the battery out for 10 secs and put it back the camera works again untill you run another app. It feels like as soon as you run something else with camera it is screwed!
The camera autofocus indicator is supposed to turn green and then the pic will be taken. This happened the day i bought the cell. I changed to different shoot options and it worked.
At night i installed world card mobile, used it to recognise a business card. the autofocus feature worked and it recognised perfectly. i tried again with the same card, but this time the app hung and i had to do soft reset. I didnt use the camera again till the next day.
And thats when i realised that the autofocus feature was no longer working. The camera will make the focusing noise, the screen gets brighter, the navigation wheel lights up, but the white brackets do not turn green. Instead they display a red cross.
Having searched the forums, i found a few threads describing the same symptoms, but no solution. Someone mentioned using the camera application 6.01 from BEPEs rom... that didnt work for me.
I have done a hard reset using the original stock rom, latest shaks rom and duttys rom and bepes 0.99d rom... No relief...
Stock
ROM - 1.93.720.2 WWE
date - 8/7/08
Radio - 1.00.25.07
Protocol - 52.29.25.12G
DIAM140 64M
SPL-1.93.0000
I have the 2g EDGE only diamond.
Its under warranty, hopefully they will replace the cell, but i would prefer if a solution could be found. If possible, can some one who doesnt have this problem upload their camera.exe? Or am i being naive in assuming that simply replacing the camera.exe will solve my problems?
Thanks in advance,
Amith
Well, since you already tried to hard reset your device (multiple times even) and still it doesn't work, then you surely can rule out that it's a software problem...
I think you broke it my friend
If I was you I should go to the store where you got it since you have warrenty and all... One tip: flash your phone to the original rom (the rom you had when you bought it). If they see another rom on it, they probably won't help you
I had flashed it to the stock rom from the htc india site in the morning. Went to the shop in the afternoon. Today being a holiday, the shop was closed. Came back disappointed. Tried taking pics with the camera throughout the day. The focus only showed a red cross and the pics were clearly out of focus... And then...
It starts working again! On its on. I mean, I was hopeful something like this might happen, so I was trying taking pics every hour or so. And all of a sudden, the autofocus is back on. I took some 15 pics one after the other, only 1 pic [somewhere in between, dont remember which one] displayed the red cross, but even for that pic, the focus was proper...
The phone has had the stock rom for some 10 hours now. I dont know what caused the problem or what rectified it... I think i will play with it for a few more days, if it happens again, am going back to the shop.
Strange, eh??

I guess miracles do exist
Hope it stays in a working state! But you should go to the shop nonetheless, having it checked out... while you still have warranty

Good point, 4got to mention that
as luck would have it, the autofocus aint working again... though there is some interesting news...
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3273
as per the above link, the touch pro received a minor rom upgrade that includes fixes for
The display of TouchFLO 3D sometimes may appear cracked.
When taking a picture, the auto focus function may malfunction in some circumstances.
In some circumstances, the preview screen will become black after taking picture.
In some circumstances, the device may hang while loading TouchFLO 3D.

is it possible to somehow find out what the fix was? maybe someone with a touch pro could download the rom and post its camera.exe?? maybe i should start a thread in the touch pro forum pointing to this post and request help there? what do you guys feel?
i took the cell to the vendor, he couldnt figure anything out. he said i was the first one to present this problem to him. the only option left for me is to take it to the service center where it will remain for atleast a week as per the vendor
Auto focus Polaris
I do have the same problme as you do. I tryed several things to repare this autofocus problem, but nothing is working! I m really disapointed in HTC. If they cant make a good auto focus, why do they try it!! I can't make good photos anymore with my Polaris, so i hope that this(touch pro file) will help to create a solution. I will not bring my polaris back to Htc because i dont want to lose all my progs and files!! Please find a solution !!! If it is a hardware problem HTC SUCKS!!!
Thanks for all!!

this is sometimes an issue when your inbox/sent messages get full.
you can clear them out or reflash the rom.
I've heard of a lot of people sending their phone in for repair for this issue but try clearing them out/or re-flashing because I'm 99% positive its a software not hardware issue.
Sorry But reflash with original Rom, and Empty box wont help I have the same. Maby is some driver? I clean my keyboard with vacuumcleaner, but the same happen, dubles or triples letters, or eating letters or spaces.
Well, all my inbox from sms, email, etc. are empty
i hard reseted 3 times right now...
seems ill have to send it to repair (for second time now.. ive used my xperia only 1month from 2 haha, lets wait another 1 ^^...)
if any1 knows another way to solve this.. i got until monday to send it to repair !!! would be very thankful !
thank you very much !

if the keyboard were to degrade it would happen below the keys. and the keyboard is one solid piece.
and it isn't a driver issue.
I've had this issue on every single wmo device I've ever owned so try clearing, or re-flashing your rom again before you consider sending it in for repair.

hard reseted, the one that clears all the device. pressing those 2 buttons down the screen, plus the "on" button ^^ yes yes i mean hard reset hehe

haha you'd be surprised how many people confuse the two.
well I would definitely try flashing it *hint*(the sticky's are full of useful information).
If not, call up SE and set up the repair.
Ok, im just trying to flash now, ill post another time when it finishes with the result
thank you!!!
i dont know if it could be, but it seems like having the same bug, but with less % of appearing, i mean, lesser letters appear duplicated, and lesser words and spaces appear bugged too
but anyway they continue appearing... so i really dont know what happen... :'(...
more ideas?
I have the same issue. I think it's becouse of dust between letters on the keyboard Im thinking about opening device and cleaning keyboard becouse my x1 is not on warranty. But before that I want to try to clean it with compressed air in spray. It is a good cleaner for electronics so may can help but before use that remember about turning off device and taking out battery.

that's impossible.. the keyboard is like a film its one solid piece, so any dust going between letters goes no where. the only possible things are.. either condensation got stuck between the keyboard and the responsive layer below it.. that layer below it has started to break down and degrade.. or its a software issue.
how is your x1 not under warranty?
UnD, if you tried reflashing then you just have to call up SE for a repair because its a hardware issue then.
I have the same, after flashing less, but still problems. No mater is original or Fun's Rom
I had quite similar problem - space button didnt work correctly very offen and then all keys around space stoped working correctly - doubling the letters, sometimes not working at all etc.
I had it repaired in service - covered by warranty. They changed whole keyboard.
I'm having the same problem... very frustrating getting triple full stops or two 'o' letters in 'of'.
got two cracks in the case. What are the chances of a replacement do you think? still under 1 year warranty.
i have the same issue.
its caused by dirt/dust etc under the keyboard.
the only way to fix it is to take the handset apart.
best bet is to phone sony and get it repaired
I have the same issue and was wondering if it was a problem caused by:
Dust under the keys
Misalignment of the keys
Will try a hard reset and see if that helps.
I have the same issue. Tried multiple roms and stock roms and clearing the whole phone and its still the same issue. Im sending it back for repair. Warrany is 2 years =P
ive been re-flashing my ROM twice so far... empty my inbox as well, but doesnt seem to fix it, but ill try another flash again x_x
Even the Fn Button (Blue Square at corner left down) wasnt responding if i didnt press it hard enough
just cleared sms/mms now works great again
but i still will write with fingerkeyboard until i get the iphone
xperia is good but keyboard sux (should not happend) and WM is far away from the iPhone OS
also apps are better for iphone
Hi guys, i'm using on my x1 windows mobile 6.5 rom since first beta. I have tried alla kind of rom. As far as i know i have always had a problem that create me some trouble. The x1 hardware keyboard seems laggy and very slow. Also FN key take a lot of pressures to activate. Someone else is having the same problem? Just to know if it's mine broken. I don't want to go back to 6.1 to try.
Thanks

I've had a similar issue to this too since using the 6.5 roms, also along with the lag it double inputs the character selected sometimes. If anyone knows a fix fort his would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Is it laggy and slow in every program? For me it works very well. Only thing is my m-key is kinda broken, not a software issue i figure though.

I have experienced same issues like you did. The Fn key works only when I put lot of pressure on it (didn't succeed to determine which is the most suitable position) so, I've been forced to find other alternatives (soft keyboards). But, what's important is to find out if this is a hardware problem or is simply related to the new ROM installments which I play with...
Any opinion/suggestion is more then welcome...
Thanks
It's not a wm 6.5 related problem... there're tons of guys having this problem, and soon they're going to increase, cause it seems to get worse with time...
my keyboard has reached an unusable state, and the left half of the keyboard type twice or nothing.
The first thing you can try is to longer the time for input replication... if it doesn't work, then send it to SE, and hope to receive it back in a little time
I'm waiting to find a good alternative to X1, then send it to assistance, and when it comes back sell it... never buying SE products anymore
searching with google get many results... this is the first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489331
oh let me tell you something real that is happening.
1.keyboard is crap if u dont use the buttons daily ,you will have this problem(i have it too)
2. same as my camera button( i press half way to auto focus and then press it fully to take a picture. but now it auto focus and when i press fully,the camera will auto focus again and shoot the pictures )
i dunno what is wrong with X1 ,but htc has make a bull**** things for SE.(happy that SE decided to leave them).
ok so seem to be an hardware problem; i'll dismount mine x1 to see if there's dust or something else under the keyboard.

I reached to the same conclusion like you did. Seems like most of the SE X1 keyboards have problems, as well like the battery life (btw, last night, in stand-by mode, my X1 battery drained out completely without having any process/program running)...
Speaking about SE X1 in general, yes could be taken as a kind of failure but we don't have to forget is made by HTC. So, they could be blamed as well for this lack of success!
Or maybe there was also a sabotage around, who knows?
time to get X2
hi
plz tell me if any one hv solution for this.
I hv m1000 wid Broken screen which i hv replaced today and updated my m1000 from WM5 to WM6. But the Start Menu takes 20-25 seconds to pop up. All other Menu like Tap and hold are also taking same time to popup. volume Bubble aslo hv same issue and there is no sound. Every thing else is working fine like file explorer, other programs , phone ETC.
I hv tried these
1. Switch back to old LCD .(No luck)
2. Switch back to different wm5 and wm6 rom. (same issue)
3. Switch back to wm3 Rom.(Every thing works well)
4. Too many Hard Reset.(no luck)
5. Battery Removal for long time.(no luck)
6. DOC re partitioning.(no luck)
GOT MY DEVICE FIXED
Thanks to all here for their support. I got my device fixed. Problem was in my New Lcd it has a faulty Belt which only works if some pressure is applied on it so i putted a rubber behind it and now it is working. But bad luck is that i hv given the Positive feedback for that LCD on ebay.
hi
Ye i had the same issue. Keep reflashing until a rom gets to a decent speed then reflash back to the rom you want.
Or it might be that the rom is not for himalaya?
Definately keep reflashing.
it worked with me
BTW: The rom in the signature picture is wrong i think.
My rom is WM 6.5 CE OS 5.2.23409.5.4.0 by zjw831

And signatures are not wrong cause i hv 4 devices.
it could be a faulty RAM, or you screwed the device too hard or too lose, try to check that

hi nd thnks for ur support.But how a faulty device works in WM3.and will a faulty Ram behave differently with diff. roms?
It´s because diffent parts of the memory are used. Look at aeroflylubys kitchen. He has got an equal issue with broken ram. He can´t flash/use WM6.5 anymore. On WM 6.1 everything works fine. Strange, but not impossible! Good Luck.
PS: As Senior I guess you know how to hard reset, as it differs from Wm2k3!
hey I hv just open my device nd chk for any physical damage. But nothing is there. And after re-assembling
1. Sound Works.
2. No slowdown at all.
3. Backlight Goes permanently off. (during boot also)
I hv tried the wm3 rom now it has sound but no backlight and no TOUCH in wm3.
