What I ended up doing ( and I did it more then once cuz I tried to load a wm6.5 rom on it) was as fallows

starting with many different wm 6.5 roms, radio: 1.13.25.24 and HSPL 1.56

step 1: I flashed the newest telstra rom (Telstra_WWE_1.59.841.6_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24)+

step 2: hard reset

step 3: flashed this custom 6.1 rom (gave up on trying to find a 6.5 rom that worked), L26 ultimate V3.55

step 4: hard reset

step 5: synced to my PC

step 6: loaded all my cabs (soft resetting after every 2 or 3)

Now Miris 6.5 V26 came close to working but when I would sync via PC or Microsoft My Phone it the camera bug would come back.

I am at about 18 hours without the bug. I have soft reset, changed the battery, synced the phone to my PC, called, received calls and text so far...

Great to hear, I will try that as soon as I can. I am leaving for Vacation with the Family to a cabin in Northern Wisconsin and they actually have a DSL connection there. Granted the last time I was there and did a speed test I think I got 128kb down and 64kb up. A far cry from my 20mb down and 2mb up that I get at home. It is almost as slow as dialup. Anyway, I will have a lot of time on my hands at night so hopefully I can get this sorted out while I am gone. I will keep you posted and thanks for the update. I will follow your lead and see what happens. Without a camera it really limits the phone.

Do you have any links to these files? That would be great.

Had to Hard Reset after loading Dutty's 6.5

Not sure if this is related, but I loaded Dutty's 6.5 R9 yesterday. I have an 8Gb card with 4.5 Gb free and I noticed the camera was saying there was only room for 160 pics. I went into camera settings to make sure it was set to storage card and not main memory. when I exited it said room for 60 pics (I hadn't actually changed anything). About 15 min later I tried a soft reset and it wouldn't boot up. It got stuck on the HTC screen and after 1/2 a dozen goes I ended up hard reseting.....

I'm not feeling very confident now......just waiting for it to happen again. I had a similar problem with my Hermes last year when I upgraded to 6.1 from 6.0. In the end I went back to 6.0.

Damn....I really liked the start menu on 6.5.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
My camera went down again this morn around 7am. This time I was using it and the I noticed the camera wasn’t auto focusing, so I took the picture anyways and then checked my settings. The auto focus was on so I tried another picture and it still didn’t auto focus. I then exited the camera app and went back to the photo tab, sure enough, camera button gone, no preview of the pictures and the camera app couldn't be started from the program list either. I am 99% sure that it is a failed piece of hardware at this point. My gut feeling is the camera itself but I have a very limited knowledge on the subject
[Touch HD General] Vin87:
I had the same problem some months ago, However it happened with a HTC update, the camera stopped working and wouldn't launch.:confused:

I thought it was because of the rom update so I flashed a cooked rom (first ever and haven't stopped since), but no luck, still no camera, then I've flashed the HD back to stock and called HTC, they send someone from the postal service to pick up the phone and a small week later I received a brand new HD :)
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
they didn't say what was wrong with it?

I am mailing mine out today
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Are they charging you to send it back or are they going to cover it? What number did you call to get it returned? I have flashed a new rom to mine and the camera is still working but I am not going to hold my breath. I am using an older wm6.5 that uses the older 1.14 HardSPL.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
I didn't know any 6.5 roms used SPL1.14...

I called what ever # was on the US website. There my be a $25 charge because its not a US phone but its covered. That's what they told me anyways
[Touch HD General] Vin87:
No they didn't they just swapped the whole thing. Good luck with your repair, sure they'll fix it.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
Ya thanks, I am sue they will take care of me
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
did you reload a stock SPL and stock ROM before you returned it? (you probably did, but i thought i'd ask anyway). HTC is known for not honoring its warranty when an unofficial ROM is loaded to the device.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
good looking out man, but yes I loaded the newest stock teltra rom and the stock SPL to match
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
curious to know where you sent it for repair... was it HTC's repair center in Houston or somewhere else?
[Touch HD General] avustralya:
Hey..

I dont know how to load new spl or new rom. so i never loaded new rom or something but i got the same problem. my camera is not working at all. i started searching about it and found this topic. im gona send it to htc before my 1 year warranty finishes. i hope i get a brand new one too. it must be hardware problem otherwise they wouldnt send a new one. by the way i live in Australia.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
yes it was Houston and I forgot about the "void" sticker so they ended up charging me for the repair, it was a reasonable price. They said it was "the flex cable" I don't remember the flex cable on the camera it self being removable from the camera so they must be taking about the main flex cable.

So in the end, it was a hardware issue but not the piece of hardware I thought so I am glad I didn't end up chasing a bunch of parts and taking my phone apart a bunch of times. I really hope this helps all you other guys with the same problem. My final cost with next day shipping upgrade is $115 witch I don't think is bad since the price of the T8285 has doubled since people have confirmed they work on the North American 850htz 3G

I have noticed that all the people I have talked to about this problem have a Telstra T8285, I havent heard from 1 person that has this problem with the T8282....hmmm
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
cool. thanks for the update.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
any time. I am getting the feeling there may have been a defective part/design/run of these phones
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Just sent mine to Houston for repair today. From the time they received the unit, how long did it take to get it fixed? Can't wait to get the unit back and finally working properly again. It has been a while since the camera worked. I use it a lot. At least I still have my iPhone as a back up.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
just called them today, they don't know why the lab isn't done with the repairs. The man I talked to said he was going to escalate the repair order and call me back once they found out what was going on
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
I thought you had yours back already, that kinda scares me that it is taking this long for you to get yours back. Not that I wouldn't still send it in but I thought they had already sent yours out. I have a feeling mine might not be a hardware problem because I could get it working when I wanted to with doing another SPL but then it would die after the first use of the camera. I hope they just don't reinstall the software and the camera starts working and they think they have fixed it and send it back.

Please keep me updated on the status of your repair order
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
mine was he same way but they did find a defective part. They received mine on the 19th, if you take the weekend out of the picture today would be exactly 5 days
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
they replaced the part called a rigid flex board. The repairs are done and once they have completed all the testing they will ship it out.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
I paid for 2nd day air to get it there before the weekend, I mostly didn't want it sitting in a shipping truck or warehouse all weekend. It is supposed to be there tomorrow and hopefully they will get a crack at it early next week. I forgot to remove the stylus. Opps, my fault. I almost left my 16gb micro sd card in the unit and had to rip open the box to get it out before shipping. I already have 6 more stylus for a previous order when I got the unit so if it doesn't come back with it I will not be heart broken. I have plenty of spares.

I am going to be a little more cautious with flashing roms onto the unit once I get mine back. Still not sure what I am going to put on it.

I can't wait to see AT&T's TP2 to see if I want to trade up or not. I might just wait for the next generation of HTC phones to trade up. I don't want to give up the 3.5mm headphone jack.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
I think you shouldn't be. I am gonna flash a few roms on mine as I see fit within the 90 day period just to make sure they really found the problem!

As much as I hate going back to my Fuze, I rather go back to it temporarily then permanently (until the LEO comes out).
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
man, everything was going good but now I am getting the total run around with HTC. They have "escalated" my repair order twice and they still don't know what is going on, I shipped it to them next day air, paid for next day shipping back and it sill isn't even done at the repair center. When I ask how long it takes they say 3-5 working days... they received it on the 19th. Man this sucks
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Are they saying what the problem is or are they just stalling. I wonder if they replaced the part and the camera is still bugging out and they have no idea what to do. Not to scare you or anything but it sound like they are a little lost.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
They keep saying it just has to be tested then it will ship. As of tomorrow it will have been there 2 weeks. I am supposed to call back in 45 min to see if the manager can find out whats wrong?
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
WOW! I wasn't feeling like I got anywhere with the people I had been talking to and because I didn't know what else to do I called the tech line. The guy I talked to there was way cool. He made me feel like he really cares about the product and the customers. He said he had never really dealt with repair issues but he sent his supervisor n e-mail (because he wasn't in the office) to see what more they could do. Well he wasn't bulls#$ting, I just got a call from someone at the lab it self explaining that the part they put in did not correct all the issues and she would call be back as soon as it passes all tests her self to give me a tracking #.

I am feeling way better about this now!

Failed to initialise camera

I searched the forum to find a solution to my problem "Failed to initialise camera" :mad:.

I haven't installed any ROM's besides the standard HTC HD ROM EU upgrade from the HTC website. I did play around with a few themes some time ago (I was trying to find an analogue clock) - but I doubt any of these would have caused the issue.

So what is the best solution?

Do I follow suit and send it back to HTC / local retailer (Carphone warehouse) in the UK

or

Has someone found a workaround?

Any help greatly appreciated :)
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
its looking like a hardware issue. That means no work around. My advice, send it in and just get it over with
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
well they shipped my phone yesterday and I will see it today!!!
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
got my phone back, put the battery in (did not out my sim or sd card in) turned the phone on, camera doesn't work!!! You have to be kidding me....
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
it goes from bad to worst! My T8285 came back as a T8285 on the outside only. It no longer has the 850 3G!!!
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
You have got to be kidding. That sucks. I still have not heard from them about mine. If they do that to me I will be pissed as you should be. Keep me informed as to what happens next.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Just called the repair center to check on my phone, which they have not worked on yet even though they received it last week. I had the person at the repair center put a note on my account about the phone being a T8285 and not the Euro Asian T8282 and that it has the 850 mhz radio for US 3g and to not mess with that part of the phone. Hopefully that will help or at least put the note in before they work on it.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
ya, they are sending a call tag out for my phone today. Back it goes
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
There is still no word on my unit. Any updates on yours?
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
just got my label, shipping it back to them tomorrow
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Been waiting 2+ weeks for any word on mine. I have called several times and they keep escalating my order but that has not seemed to change anything. Getting very frustrating.
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
thats the same thing I am going thew but this is round 2 for me
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Called yesterday for a 3rd time and was instantly put to a supervisor who was going to call the service dept where my HD is being serviced and get back to me as soon as possible. Which at the time the service dept was closed so she was going to do it in the morning "right away" and call me. Well it is after 1pm here and still no call. What a shocker. I'll give it another 45 min and then I will call because I have to go pick up my son from school for a parent teacher meeting at 2:30. How much do you want to bet they are not going to call me today if I don't call them back.

If they can't fix it, will they replace the phone with a new/like new one?
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
Fixed using latest radio

Well Ive just come across this same problem and found this thread.

I updated to the latest 1.17 radio and miraculously my camera works again. Though what the camera has to do with the radio I have no idea.

Anyway, the main thing is it works again. Ill update on here if the problem comes back.

Fingers crossed
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
I hope you never have this problem again. It has been over a month and I still don't have my phone back.

In my experience there was no rime or reason to what made the camera work but would always fail again in time.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Anytime I did a new "Hard SPL" even if it was the same one I was currently using, the camera would work for a day or two and then would go out again. I never tried updating the radio so hopefully that is the magic answer. Good Luck
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Not that this is a huge update but I did finally get a call back last Friday from a HTC Technical Supervisor and she informed me that they are waiting for a part to get shipped and would inform me when the repairs were complete. I asked her what part they were waiting for and she had no idea. I then asked if she had an ETA on when the part would get in? Again, no clue, don't know. I asked what she wanted me to do while they make me wait for weeks on end for my phone to be repaired? No reply, just silence. I finally asked the million dollar question. If you can't repair my phone, will you, HTC, send me a new one? The silence was indescribable.

My faith in getting my phone repaired is dwindling. I have a feeling that they are not going to get it repaired and are going to claim that it is no longer covered under warranty and will send it back to me without fixing it.

I am keeping detailed notes on every call I am making and if it does not get fixed, I will be emailing it to any and all HTC email addresses I can get a hold of.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
On its way back to Me :)

I finally got the call I have been waiting almost a month for. HTC is shipping my phone back to me next day air so it should arrive tomorrow. I hope it is truly fixed but I am not going to get my hopes up until I see it working and for more than just one day.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
did they tell you what they did to fix it?
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
No, just received it and setting it up know. Will know soon if it working properly.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
So far so good, everything powered up fine, still have 3G and the camera is working properly. Sweet.

Now I have to HardSPL and decide what Rom to flash. Hmmmm

Crossing fingers right now.
[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
rwk,

I strong suggest you use USPL and stop using HSPL.

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Alright, I put on Dutty's latest HD WM6.5 R14 Turbo Rom and everything is still working fine. I should be holding a rabbits foot, throwing salt over a shoulder or knocking on some wood but I fell pretty good so far about the repairs. I will keep you updated and if there is the slightest problem I will report it. Hopefully everyone else who is getting theirs repaired will be as satisfied as I am right now. Smiles all around. :):D:):D:):D:)
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
does your returned device have the same imei and serial number? just curious to know if they shipped a different phone....thanks.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
No and Yes.

The IMEI number is different but the Serial number is the same. It also has the US FCC ID number on the inside now, which It didn't before. The box has a CE number as 0682 and the device now has a CE number of 0678, again on the inside sticker under the battery. The only other wierd thing is the label says it is a BLAC100, which I believe is the Euro/Asian version of the Touch HD but it still has 3G/H showing up. I almost think they replaced the part and through on this sticker which makes it legal in the US. I don't believe the Telstra BLAC120 was ever passed through the FCC. I wonder if I have a full US 3G Touch HD now. 850 and 1900 mhz??? Any way to find out???
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
don't know if there's a way to test 1900 only access... could be that they used some tool to reprogram the T8282 radio (firmware) to work on US 3G bands? have you tested your 3G speeds, e.g., dslreports.com/mspeed?
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
I don't know how accurate it is to test on a desktop while teathering to the HD but I was forced to do it today for several hours at work because my brother is changing out all our modems/routers for a monitored system that provides more security. Anyway, they forgot to change our license from a temporary one that has a time limit built in that when triggered only allows a couple users to access the internet at a time to the normal license we had already purchased. It took most of the day to figure and sort out. In the mean time I had work to do, so rather than wasting the day I tried the teathering option on my Touch HD and was pleasantly surprised as to the speed I was getting. I did two different speed tests. Using Speedtest.net I pulled down over 1900 kbps and had 350 kbps up and on Speakeasy.net I had over 2100 kbps down and 380 kbps up. I was pretty impressed.

I normally have a full 5 bars of service at my office so that part was not a problem. I can see the tower from my office window maybe only a 1/8 mile away. It doesn't get much better than that.

My market only has 850 mhz 3G but if I get a chance to go to downtown Chicago I will try it out there. I think they are still on the 1900 mhz 3G in many areas.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
download numbers are very good. and yeah, downtown chicago will be a great test for 1900 3G service, lol. i was there for a couple of days and never once got a 3G signal with my phone!
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
mine was missing the telstra banding when it came back the 1st time and now its missing it again!!!!! I am on hold waiting to speak to a supervisor right now.

there response....send it back in again... WTF!?!?!?
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
Mine is showing as a BLAC100 which should be a T8282 but still has US 3G. I think it is just a sticker.
[Touch HD General] x5-rwk:
I wonder if OHARE is on 850 or 1900, I will be there next week flying out to Connecticut. Don't know what they have out there.
[Touch HD General] Shwanz:
Camera not working

I almost open another thread to explain my/this problem...it was a little hard for me to find this thread...AND I THINK, i know i'm just a newbie to be thinking like this but :), I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE A STICKY out of this. Or at least a more proper thread/sticky to inform all HD community of this BUG.

ITs DRIVING ME CRAZY!! :mad: And it seems this problem isnt because of the roms or the software installed (at first glance it might) because "we" tried a lot of ways to make this work and it doesnt (or at least not for a long time.)

It all starts when we begin to experience some "problems" with the camera like:

1. taking pictures and suddenly the camera shuts down.

2. noticing that the icons on the picture tab (camera and video), they sometimes disappeared but would come back after soft reset or a certain combination of steps (yes, sometimes they showed up without me even touching the phone)

3. camera stops working (initializing), not even after soft/hard reset or reflash.

4. And now i'm even at the point where the camera links and references doesnt even exist...it is as like my touch hd doesnt have a camera. It doesnt even show up on the program's list.

FACTS:

1. I have my HD for 4 months. (T8282 btw)

2. I flashed my first custom rom after the first month.

3. Always used USPL

4. ROMs: Started with Energy Genesis...then Dutty R2...then Energy Leo (the problems began on this 3rd flash), Energy Leo again...and now Dutty's R7.

btw, i tried other roms but just for half an hour just to see if i liked them.

I'm now using Dutty R7 and the camera doesnt exist!! I will flash it back to a stock rom and send it to HTC...because thanks to "x5-rwk" and others like him i now know my problem (OUR PROBLEM) only gets solved if i send it back to HTC for an hardware repair (or at least until they manage to fix it).

Camera Worked but won't save.

Hi,

My problem is a little different but it's still camera related. My camera works but it won't save. I've tried saving it to the main memory or the storage card but it won't work. I did flash the rom but it worked after that so I am not sure if that's the problem. I don't know exactly when it stopped working as I don't use the camera that much. I tried playing with the advanced config settings but nothing work. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] At0mAng:
Here is an Enhanced D3D Driver for our Touch Pro2. Before you install driver run the D3DDemo file from your phone. Extract D3DMDemo.exe and copy it anywhere on your phone (Storage Card is good). Run it and see how slow it runs with the default D3D Driver. Then install At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver.cab, restart and run the D3DMDemo again and see the difference :)

Enjoy!

Just to make things clear. I did not develop the driver, it was from the Samsung Omnia and the libgles_CL.dll comes from NuShrike. I have been using it since my TyTN II days, gave it a shot on the Rhodium and it worked. I did not see it in this forum so I cabbed it up (was OEM in my kitchen) and posted it.

The cab file contains two dlls both from the D3DM driver and the correct registry settings for d3dm_ati.dll.

To learn more about this driver and to try newer releases please see this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=496528

There have been a few reports that the drivers from above thread break a couple of things like the G-Sensor with Opera so I am posting back the original file I had up. Strange since I do not have that problem with the latest drivers from the above thread.

It's up to you to decide which drivers you would like to use.

Rocks!

TF3D is realy faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] At0mAng:
