Does it work with Third party apps from the MArket? like camera 360 and stuff......

If it does then may be the camera apk is corrupted in some way.

I would suggest you try to flash via ODIN your original firmware 2.3.3 from Intratech's Thread in the DeV section http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=official+kernel and see if it fixes your problems and then flash 2.3.4

also as mentioned above you should have a camera firmware update in the samsung apps which you could try also

I have tried a number of third party apps from the market and none of them start...

I am trying to figure out how to get the samsung apps update for the camera.. Should i look for it through Kies or through the Samsung Apps app on the phone?

I will try flashing back to my original firmware tonight...

Hi,

Hi,

Im also facing the exact same problem and it seems no one can help. Please let me know if you find any solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
To be honest if you have tried multiple different roms, done full wipes, tried different apps, the only answer left is a hardware or firmware problem.

And if the Samsung apps firmware updated doesn't do anything, then it may be broken

Best bet is to restore it to stock, clear your flash counter and send it back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themanufan:
Well, i know that is the last resort.. Just wanna make sure i cant do it on my own cause sending it to Samsung would mean getting into an unnecessary haggle to try and repair / replace the handset..

Hi,

Can you access the CameraFirmware Standard hidden menu by dialing *#34971539# as im getting a force close error saying the application Factory Test has stopped unexpectedly.

Please check and let me know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themanufan:
Hi,

i remember getting the force close message when i had tried last time to access that menu..

However, since then, i have tried various solutions on different threads and ended up uninstalling the camera fw.. the default fw wouldn't install. each time i try to install, it says 'application not installed'..

Hence, i do not have any camera fw installed on my phone at the moment.

i could, surprisingly, access the hidden menu now..

i checked the version and this is what i got:

Camera FW Ver : Failed

Phone FW Ver : TBEC28

Can i do anything else with that menu as well??

I tried installing the camera.apk in the following thread:

however, it kept showing the same message as above.

i tried Phone to CAM FW Write.

it gave a dialogue box with invalid version written on top and the details of camera and phone fw as above.

Somebody help us down here !!!!

I have a similar problem; all of a sudden my camera stopped working right at the start of my vacation trip. I get the same "Camera Failed" error. However, a couple of days late I tried and I did get an image, though it was only static. I even managed to take a picture of the static. A day later again "Camera Failed". As it was a 4 week trip I tried numerous of times, one time it worked for a second but the image slowly disintegrated, most of the time FC's, errors or no image.

Cam FW:OCEF02

Phone FW:TBEC28

Once home I tried everything, various camera.apk’s, 3rd party apps, (stock) roms, firmware, nothing. Waiting for my ordered JIG to reset counter before sending it back, it must be hardware related. I didn’t do anything special, no dropping, not letting it get extremely hot or cold, no exotic roms.

After trying everything there was, I finally gave it to the Samsung Service Center here in Dubai and yes, they said it is hardware fault. The device is not covered under warranty here as it was bought from UK, so they are charging me AED 350 to replace the camera unit. That's about USD 100.

Hi all

Is ad-hoc mode supported in Honeycomb 3.2? For me it's the only way when tether with my old Windows Mobile 6.5...

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
would be nice if somebody answered this question .... ?

it's come up a couple of times since the update without response.

as a side-note, if anybody has managed to internet-tether through a wm6.5 phone (like my htc hd2) either by wifi or bluetooth * WITHOUT RE-FLASHING THE PHONE TO ANDROID * (not interested in doing that) then how did you make it work?

ironically (and frustratingly), my older WM6 htc tytn II (kaiser) internet-tethers with the asus via bluetooth straight out of the box, so it can be done.

I can confirm that after Update to Honeycomb 3.2 my HTC LEO(WM6.5.x) can

I assume I'm doing something wrong but I'm using non rooted 3.2 and when I tried to see if I could use it with Joiku on my Nokia the Transformer would not see the hotspot, although my laptop had no problem connecting to it. If adhoc is working is there some setting that has to be changed for it to see it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dorkington:
My Tf does NOT support ad-hoc. Stock 3.2.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
I have not heard anything from the release notes anywhere about Android 3.2 now supporting Ad-Hoc networks. But to the OP, I tried everything to get my WM6.5 phone to tether to my GTab 6 months ago and never could get it to work properly because my WMWifiRouter program on my WinMo phone created a Ad-Hoc network. I could connect to any laptop but no Android systems. In the end, I just went and bought a new Android phone and tethering was a breeze. I never looked back...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olopeich:
this is weird. Leonore, how do you share the connection with the phone? what software are you using? the only way I know with a WM is WMrouterwifi. I haven't the last version but I guess it only supports ad-hoc mode...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dauntless:
Bye the way, you can easily share your wm6 internet through Bluetooth with WMWifiRouter. It works great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olopeich:
really? I read TF was unable to connect via bluetooth due to some sort of limitation in the driver (something like ad-hoc case) . I'll give it a try right now.

Do you have some special configuracion / software on TF? are you rooted?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoTeC:
I never tried tethering through Bluetooth just because of the speed limitation. I guess if you just needed a quick fix but it brings back the old memories of 14.4k dial-up... lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olopeich:
Bluetooth's 2.0 data rate is around 2 Mbits, quite low but enough for me as a temporal access. I'll use it only on vacations time, in my summer place. It's a very little town and in that place 3g really sucks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olopeich:
uaah! I tried it and it works like a charm!!! without additional software in the TF, and the battery drains slower than wifi.

I guess this way is easier than wifi, there is no need to configure DHCP, the only thing is the pin code.

This saved the day pal, I was very displeased with the missing support for ad-hoc in 3.2. For me it's a very basic feature.

Thanks a lot Dauntless!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpavich:
I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether on my Xperia X10 and my TF tethers to it just fine.

I'm also using "Auto-Tether" and I'd highly recommend it; it allows you to enable tethering and to turning tethering on and off from the TF...very handy...you don't even have to take your phone out of the holster!

EDITED TO CORRECT; I just realized that I wasn't REALLY able to connect; I had to use the special WPA_supplicant file here on XDA...so the answer is....nope....not until you root and use that replacement WPA file.

Hi Olopeich,

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theabsurdman:
hang on, so you are saying the stock hd2 wifi router app doesn't work but what does work is some unspecified cooked rom of yours?

what have you done to make it work then?

re. bluetooth tethering, this definitely does not work on the hd2 using wmwifirouter (BT option greyed-out) or ny any other means that i can fathom.

as i said BT DOES work with my old wm6 tytn II, both in wmwifirouter and directly via the OS.

Just use the Xoom's 3.2 modified wpa_supplicant with Ad-Hoc support found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106130

Yes you will need root if its not obvious. Flashing it through CWM failed for me but if you manually overwrite it and change permissions using Root Explorer it works. I'm using it right now through an adhoc network I created from my laptop and its working perfectly. ;)

1. Backup your original wpa_supplicant found in /system/bin/

2. Extract the wpa_supplicant and save it to your SD Card or wherever you like

3. Turn off wifi (Probably not necessary but just to be on the safe side)

3. Move the modified Xoom 3.2 wpa_supplicant into your /system/bin/ folder

4. Long press and hold on wpa_supplicant and Change the permissions to rwxr-xr-x

5. Reboot

i use an epic 4g with a non rooted tf on 3.2. My epic is rooted and using the current version of wifi tether from the market, the tf will not see my phone. However, the new beta from the dev's website works great. The phone shows up and wifi tethering is working fine. WIFI Tether is supposed to use ad hoc mode, but maybe it has additional options in the new beta.

Damn. I'm in a Hotel without WiFi and was running Prime 1.6 which is 3.1. There is no WiFi and I'm here for 2 weeks. I had my WiFi up to share the LAN port via an AD-HOC and it was working all day.

I updated to Revolver 2.0 which is 3.2 and it won't see it. I'm gonna try the hack mentioned above and report my findings.

Good thing I made 2-3 nandroid backups.

[UPDATE]

That method isn't working for me. I renamed the old file and pasted in the new. Rebooted but still can't see my AD-HOC. I just went in and moved the old one OUT of my bin folder and onto my SD card and rebooted again. Still nothing.

Just sits there. Mother muck! If my restore fails I'm gonna freak out (not really).

[UPDATE 2]

Restore went fine, but I had to reflash Prime 1.6 after wiping caches to get it to boot. But I still can't see my AD-HOC... so I use my G2x which was also connected and it can't see it either.

So either the bug spread OTA to my phone or my laptop got funked. Curiously I think I will fix it and retry.

more than that , even when I use MyWi BT option - the ASUS connects - but doesn't surf at all - any suggestions how to solve or debugging it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
It would be good to first determine if this is a DNS problem or a real connectivity problem:

If you can open a terminal emulator, try pinging 4.2.2.1 (an openDNS nameserver): so $ping -c4 4.2.2.1 // the c4 is so it'll only try 4 times instead of forever.

If that pings OK, then you've not getting DNS from the mywi (whatever the wifi gizmo is, so the easiest thing to do to try to fix it is to just stop wifi from the TF, then wait a few seconds, and re-enable it. If it works this time, good, and if not,

a workaround which would really be irritating would be something like this:

{in a terminal emulator or I suppose, adb shell}
$ su
# getprop | grep -i dns # this should bring back the Domain Name Servers

- at this point if you could cut and paste the return from that statement in here it'd be helpful --

or ::

# setprop dhcp.wlan0.dns1 4.2.2.1

# exit

$ exit

-----

Now try to browse to something like google.com

It would narrow down what is wrong if that worked, and if that doesn't work, it might be this one:

# setprop net.dns1 4.2.2.1

Anyway, good luck. -

Note:: Oh heck -- I just realized I don't even know if you're rooted. Probably none of that will work if you're not rooted.

hachamacha you were right - thanks !

the problem is with the DNS !

the thing is after I add the dns as you said I get the following :

question is how do I delete the extra lines ?

and ping to 8.8.8.8 works :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Cool. Better than no connectivity anyway. This seems like a glitch with your DHCP or Router response since it should supply your client to populate DNS with something appropriate (like at least the address of the router).

I would try to figure that part out next although it's probably easier to do with a regular laptop than it is with the TF. Does anything in your LAN get back DNS OK? If so , then it's likely on the TF side only.

So you can do reverse lookups on these IPs as follows:

$ nslookup 82.102.139.10

Server: home

Address: 192.168.1.254

Name: pcache.orange.net.il

Address: 82.102.139.10

I've no idea what pcache.orange.net.il is, but that it is probably in Italy, but if you did a reverse on 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.1, or 4.2.2.2 you'd get either OpenDNS or a Google DNS server, so they've basically OK, just not optimum or 'right' for you. You can use them though.

There's no need to get rid of the 8.8.8.8 since it actually is a DNS server, but since 82.102.139.10 doesn't act like one, it isn't working. If you stuck 8.8.8.8 in the first slot, it'd probably work. The client usually looks at DNS in order (dns1, dns2, etc).

I would start googling those types of problems (connectivity with DHCP but no DNS), and seeing if anything applies. I suppose another thing to try is to go over to .. Starbucks or some such place and see if you get connectivity there, and look at those things you looked at on the TF. Good luck -

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoyakult:
Hi guys,

After messing around with kernels and getting a non responding P1000, I managed to install from Samfirmware, what i believe is stock Gingerbread (Europe).

Everything looks and works fine, but I just want some reassurance that I've downloaded/installed it correctly.

My system details are:

PDA: P1000XXJQ1

PHONE: P1000XXJPZ

CSC: P1000OXAJQ1

Firmware version: 2.3.3

Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEP-52 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1

The only reason I want reassurance is when I connect the tab to Kies, the message "this version cannot be updated" displays.

Is it the fact that this is the latest firmware, and therefore no more updates is available?

Thank you in advance and would be much appreciated and reassuring to get an answer for all you kind people.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you have a tab that was bought throughg a specific carrier then Kies might not be able to update the firmware.

I have a GTab from Telstra in Australia and using the stock firmware I also get this message. All flashing must be done by either ODIN or HEIMDALL. CWM works so long as I don't need to restock anything....

If you do decide to change roms, make sure you check to see if the bootloaders aren't locked as some of the firmware from samfirmware were found to be resulting in problems...

Cheers...:D
