[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dom1n8tr1x:
What app are you using to play the videos? Could also be running out of RAM?
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Hi,

Before posting this, I searched the forum and have only found posts years old.

This issue I am facing at the moment is a camera/video camera issue stating the following:

Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.

I only really noticed this happening since doing camera related registry tweaks such as the 8MB, or additional hidden modes. Originally I applied the tweaks using a registry editor, but now I use the lastest BSB Tweaks application. The issue seems to arise whether I have the tweaks turned on or off so I am not suggesting that the tweaks are actually to blame. I have been tweaking this phone so much that it could be anything.

Anyway, a random soft reset here and there fixes it, but I was just wondering if anyone else has experieced this issue with the HD2?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Sounds like you may have inadvertantly caused this issue with a bad registry edit.

If so, you'll need either a complete overhaul of the camera registry settings, or a hard reset.

I've only ever used the camera tweaks in BsB, and my camera works fine (I've never seen your problem). If you like, I'd be happy to either export or list the registry keys and values off my phone that might help.

Were all the registry hacks within one key, do you know, or where they in different places. (I don't know if there's just one key for camera settings, with sub-keys, or if they're spread about the registry.)
[HD2 General] 0Reefa:
Hi there,

I've been getting this also, I think I've narrowed it down to the swype keyboard I'm using...

I haven't changed default keyboard with SIP so I have to manually change keyboard whenever I boot, sometimes the swype keyboard doesn't come up, it flashes like it's going to change but remains on the default keyboard. When this happens I can't start the camera. When the change is seemless the camera works fine. A soft reset usually fixes it.

Are you using swype? Have you tried removing any other tweaks to see if it helps?
[HD2 General] ohmz55:
I'm using the swype keyboard and also have done the camera super fine reg tweak and have had no problems. I didn't use BSB tweaks and I didn't do the reg setting for more camera modes.I also haven't changed default keyboard with SIP.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
I am using Swype also, but never experienced an issue using this great keyboard. After posting the message, I did a soft reset and it is working again.

I think I will remove Swype for a while and see if the problem returns. I have all the CABs on my SD card anyway, so not a hassle to reinstall.

I believe that the registry tweaks affected different places...I am trying to find the thread....

EDIT: Found the thread...I actually installed the CABS in the end I think....cannot remember now. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=602234
[HD2 General] Archer:
Since there's only a few of them, I'll just list the values I have, rather than export the lot and end up changing ALL your camera settings.

These are the values for the registry keys in the 1st post on that page.

HKLM\software\htc\camera\image\jpegquality\superfine

5Msize = 746028

HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P2

EncodeFormat = 48

HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P1

EncodeFormat = 2

HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\recparam\MP4VGA

BitRate = 2097152

Hope this helps :)

Edit:

How strange - I didn't put that space in "superfine", and it's not there when I edit the post!
[HD2 General] 0Reefa:
It doesn't happen all the time, only when I try to change from default to swype keyboard and it *doesn't* load properly, then the camera issue appears. I've also applied all tweaks for the camera using BSB.

It's very random but I've now flashed to Miri's rom and so far no swype issue and no camera issue!
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Thanks, I will check these settings before and after toggling them in BSB Tweaks.
[HD2 General] LordSimon:
My hd2 has the same problem.

I just tried hard reset my device and install new rom, but it still comes out all day.

Some time a soft reset can take effect, but some time only hard reset can make the camera work.

When the issue comes out, it seems the Opera Mobile 10 beta can not work correctly either.

PS: I didn't use any of the tweaks.
[HD2 General] dnwizard:
I also got this error once and a soft reset corrected it. Don't know the actual cause.

I have BsB tweaks installed, but no Swype.
[HD2 General] freddycs:
I had this problem before too, i remember it happened after I made registry tweak on the video recording quality. its gone after I restore to the default value. I did not use swype keyboard, but i did installed bsb tweak.
[HD2 General] kinnyfaifai:
I had this problem as well when trying to create my own reg cab to change all the settings I wanted upon a hard reset. It messed with a lot more than just camera not initializing. I narrowed it down to the camera reg settings but not sure which one, I couldn't bare hard reseting my device 5 times in one day.

The only reg tweak I have for the camera is the 8MP one which hasn't messed it up.
[HD2 General] kuku2004:
happened to me too.

have BsB tweaks installed, dont have swype.

only soft reset fixes the problem.
[HD2 General] XTREEM|RAGE:
I didn't make a registry tweak manually, I did this with BsB tweaks and don't have any problems with it. I really think you need to change back, the reg. tweaks you did manually! GL!
[HD2 General] kuku2004:
ok, restored all default camera values in the registry - problem still exists.

i found out that if i soft reset the device and then start the camera it works fine.

problem happens when i use a program before using the camera.

any ideas?
[HD2 General] ckraus000:
i had the same problem, but after installing this cab http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5181771&postcount=53
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Just uninstalled this. Lets see if that makes a difference. I dont even use the camera, so despite noticing the problem, it doesnt actually affect me much.
[HD2 General] murks_muell:
I have this problem approx. every third time I want to use the camera. The only way to fix it then is a soft reset.

I've installed several tweaks/patches but no swype.
[HD2 General] jonolo:
Hi all,

I had the same problem but I manage to solve it in a very weird way.

This might sound really strange, but have any of you put something between the battery and the cover? When I went home over Christmas I use another SIM card to lower my roaming charges. I didn't want to loose my other SIM card when not is use so I used a piece of tape and put the sim card on the soft "pillow" on the back of the battery cover. It just barely fit and I was happy with the fit.

When I did this I also started to experience that the camera could not initialize. At first I thought it had something to do with my old SIM, and I did a test to put in my new SIM and the problem disappeared (this without my other sim between the battery and the cover) I thought I just had to live with it until I got back and could start using the proper SIM. But when I got back I switch SIM but the problem still existed. I then started to suspect that it was actually the other SIM pressing against the battery that was the culprit and as soon as I removed that the camera has been working fine.

So the only conclusion I could make is that if there is pressure on the battery that somehow causes the camera to not initialize properly.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

[HD2 General] emreldinho:
have the same problem. i have bsbtweaks installed but not swype.
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Heres what i posted in the other thread:

Well, im in here too, i had this issue with thee official german ROM 1.48 too, but not with the 1.43 T-Mobile ROM i had before 1.48. Now im on 1.61, but the error was still there after setting up and tweaking my device.

After a hard reset the camera worked, every single time, so it must have something to do with the things i changed on my device. So i made my way through everything i installed/tweaked and reversed it.

To get to my point: The error disappeared after my last action: Uninstalling Skype Mobile and changing the picture saving location in the camera options from SD card to main memory. 2 days later...no error. I have set it back to SD card meanwhile and another day without the message passed. So i think its gone, but im not completely sure why. Maybe thats helpful for you, good luck!
[HD2 General] murks_muell:
My bet is that the problem is associated with power savings options. Especially suspicious is power saving for SD while the storage for the camera is set to the card.

But that's just my guess.
[HD2 General] shufflez:
Guys (and gals),

Today my HD2 started with camera-issues as well (after starting with the locking/freezing issues some weeks ago). My fix was (using BsB tweaks);

- Disable hidden video recording formats

I also disabled these options (troubleshooting the freeze/locking issues);

- STK service

- SIM contacts

And i enabled;

- Album close

- Glyph cache

- Screen sensitivity

Dunno if this helps any of you, but just my two cents.
[HD2 General] hx4700 user:
Random non initialisation here too. Only soft reset works. Seems to be worse if I take picture, send to facebook, send as MMS from SD album, and do it a couple of times then camera does not initialise.

If after photo sent to facebook, i close the camera properly, and then send MMS, repeat, it does not lock up there and then. But it might later!

I am on ROM 1.48, with BsB tweaks. No swype.
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Well, i had the error again today, since i changed the picture saving location back to storage card. Set it back to main memory today, lets wait and see. Btw i have all camera tweaks enabled during my tests with the save location. It worked over 2 days with main memory.
[HD2 General] Terboss:
I had the same problem today after I installed Opera 10 beta 2. I also use BsB but camera was fine until today. Maybe it´s just coincidence. I remowed battery for few minutes, uninstall Opera and so far it´s ok.
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
News from my front: The error just reappeared even with camera storage set to main storage. So im back to zero with my thoughts. 4 days with heavy camera usage and no error, and today i got 2 of them with minimal camera usage. I dont get it...

@ Terboss: I have Opera Mobile installed too. Please report back, thanks!
[HD2 General] Terboss:
Do you have the newest beta 2 version? If so try to uninstall it. My camera is still working.
[HD2 General] tripleA:
ive got the same error here

never messed around with the registry but i did use BSB tweks
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Yeah, the Beta2. Guess i can live without it for a few days.

Im trying another class 2 8GB card from sandisk right now for testing purposes, maybe that will change something. Ill report back.

P.S. Dont buy a class 2 card. Its slow as hell...3-4 MB/s write speed, not via active sync, its connected as removable media. My class 4 16GB make 12-13 MB/s.
[HD2 General] ivo34:
is not possible when the battery is very low!same for me!
[HD2 General] yosagojimbo:
with me it is swype I get the initialisation error with.

I can have swype running, then get the error (not always though).

open notepad (without soft resetting), change keyboard to full qwerty,

press home key and start the camera (this works sometimes, but is the only thing i change to get camera running without a reset)
[HD2 General] erikjonpeterson:
I think I have isolated this problem to opera mobile 10 beta 2. I get the camera problem if I have opera running but no problem if I close opera through task manager. I will try with opera 9.7 and see if theres any difference.

Edit: No problems with opera 9.7.
[HD2 General] murks_muell:
On my device the problem persits even I don't let opera 10 run in the background.
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Opera 10 Beta 2 killed TTS in my igo, even when nothing from opera is running in the background. So just being installed is enough. Maybe thats the same case here.
[HD2 General] kivine:
had this problem, uninstalled swype and it works again
[HD2 General] Morgoth_RB:
I got the "camera initialisation error" (again) this morning. i didn't perform a soft reset and noticed that battery drain is very high. it lost about 20% in 45 minutes!

i guess we get this error when the cam couldn't get closed before. in this case the error would make sense, because the camera would be still active and couldn't be initialised again.

i uninstalled opera 10 beta after i read this thread. maybe this helps.

greetz,

morgoth
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
I can confirm that so far, uninstalling Opera Mobile 10 Beta, I have not experienced the camera initialisation issue, and the phone has been soft reset many times (for other reasons), and camera still working.
[HD2 General] luxxa:
seems that uninstalling the opera mobile fixed that to me too... will tell you if this worked in the time.
[HD2 General] Bim2k:
Hi Guys,

I suddenly started having this issue today as well. I also lost 20% battery in what seemed like 15 minutes only.

Been using Swype for weeks now without issues, as well as Opera 10 Beta 2. Only significant changes done in the past days have been to activate and use HTC Peep and the screen lock password.

So far I've tried a soft reset with no luck. Will remove Opera 10 and see if that helps.
[HD2 General] Bim2k:
Removed opera, shut down and started HD2, and camera works now :)

Any of you bright chaps can find out if the opera cache, etc. is borking the camera initialisation?

Cheers!
[HD2 General] hasan_dubais:
Same thing here!!

Uninstalling Opera 10 beta solved the problem ,,,, without even a softreset!!

FYI, after I've installed Opera 10 beta on my Storage card, some keyboards that I use, became not selectable !!

Just a thought ,,,does it matter where I install Opera? (Main memory /Storage Card)
[HD2 General] X1-owner:
I've had this issue before. I narrowed down my problem to not enough internal storage. If I for instance cleared the opera cache it would be OK again. I'm guessing that the camera won't initialize properly if there isn't enough internal storage to save an uncompressed image. I think that no matter what your camera settings are, when you take a picture it is temporarily stored as a raw file on the device, and then compressed and stored to wherever you have chosen as your default camera destination. This could also explain why uninstalling applications could fix the problem as this will also release storage. Even if it was installed on the SD-card, things like the opera cache is kept on the device unless you manually changed it.

That's an automatic "linebreak" that occurs after a string has no spaces for at least nn chars, to avoid potential spammers from messing pagination with long lines.

[HD2 General] Anthr@X:
have this problem as well, but not from opera, im using a chinese input called sogou chinese input, which development team claim to have this problem, camera will be fine when i uninstalled it, but i really like that chinese input software, plus i dont use camera a lot...
[HD2 General] papagogo:
the same problem ,I unstalled opera and camera is recovered.
[HD2 General] djurkash:
just to deny claim that clearing opera 10 cash solves problem. I did it and problem remained. As far as I know only solution is uninstalling opera 10.
[HD2 General] nitrate:
Guys, i have the same problem that the camera is not initializing.

I only got this error, when i tried to switch my HD2 with original HTC ROM 1.66 to panorama mode. Suddenly there was a message windows with this error.

After 2 soft-resets i was able to start the camera by switching to the pictures home tab and click the camera icon in the upper right corner.

When i now once more tried to switch to panorama mode, i got this error:

"This program cannot be started, because there is not enough free memory. Close some programs and try again." - or similar.

I think my error is related to a change i made to the FATFS and GLYPHCACHE registry settings today.
[HD2 General] billu:
Also have this problem, soft reset fixes it every time. I too have Swype and Opera 10 beta installed. Having read the comments in this thread, have just un-installed opera 10 and will see it it makes any difference.
[HD2 General] chuiche:
Hi,

i have the same problem that the camera is not initializing

anyone can help ?

Perhaps with some different drivers or another application ?
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
DO you have Opera 10 Beta installed? Then uninstall it...
[HD2 General] chuiche:
no, I don't have it installed

The camera worked only 2x with the initial ROM 1.48. I searched in many posts and tried many tweaks and also an Hard Reset.

I also updated the ROM and now I have the ROM 1.66.406.1. the camera started 1x and now it doesn't start anymore...
[HD2 General] dea.cristi:
fixed

Hi,

I had same problem.

Cause (What I did to get this error):

* after flashing "XT_EVOLUTION_1_4" ROM, I have (stupidly, but out of curiosity) also installed the official hotfix from HTC (camera hotfix). After this, I wasn't able to use the camera.

Solution (What worked for me):

* hardReset and reflashed with "Artemis_v55_WWE_210_23542" which now stays because I like best.

Now it is working. Hope it helps!
[HD2 General] chalid:
The Problem is definitely one of the camera tweaks (8MP, higher bitrate etc.). Never noticed the problem before, but after changing the registry settings for the tweaks, I got the initialisation error even when only having opera, htc-messages and e-mails open (reproducable even after a softreset). with the standard settings I can open 10 programs (Albums, Opera, File Explorer, E-Mails, HTC-Messages, iGO 8, Resco Explorer, Word, Excel, Notes) and still start the camera without any problems :cool:
[HD2 General] grumman3000:
Our whole sales dept. got the HD2 :D (T-Mobile german ROM 1.43.111.2) and all have the Camera Bug : after a certain time the camera will not initialize. Only cure : soft reset.

Most did not amend anything : no modding, no apps, no cabs...

I did some changes CHT 1.7.1 and so on.

Of course when you need the camera: it will not work :mad:

Opera or camera tweaks are not responsible for this problem.

I am surprised this bug is not more publicated.

7 x HD2 -> 7 x same problem,

1 x Iphone -> no problem :mad:

Does anyone has an idea?

Is it the Pink Patch?

Thanks

[HD2 General] boiiwonda:
i maybe gonna get burn dissed or even humiliated for my questions but i really want anwser pefore buying the HD2

1. do u think ist gonna be possible to have Android 2.1 Webos or even a Symbian os ported 2 this phone

2. me and my cuzin are trying to create a gamepad like the icontrolpad 4 iphone but 4 phone with micro usb port and running WinMo so do u think

that a emulator for psp or nds is a possibility

3.also can we convert really windows software to winmo or even window ce

because we already have 3 emulator 4 NDS that work fine on pc ( No$gba Ideas & Desmume with open source 2) + plus une psp emulator that is doing a lot of progress (Jpcsp with opensource ) on also one 4 dreamcast that i never had probleme with it

4th and also last question has anybody ever tried modding the phone like putting a front camera on it or put led in the front button or adding a camera button on is right side

anyways i know a ask a lot hope 2 get burned quick and get this over with thank u 4 your time and thank u in andvance
[HD2 General] glewis101:
Hi,

1 - Android may well come to this phone, but we will have to wait for an andriod based snapdragon version first. There are posts for this already.

2 and 3 - There is already loads of emulator software for win mobile. try searching on google ! there is even a post here for the new playstaion emulator (which is fantastic by the way). i think people have already managed to get a bluetooth gamepad controller working with HD2 (use search again)

4 - I know there are some hardcore modders out there that will cut up phone and try to put extra buttons in... but i can't really see someone here hacking ther £500 phone just yet....... (not even sure you could add another button)

Hope this help !

remember google is your friend to find anything and use the forum search !

Its really a great ROM, im using right now. there are some minor bugs and hoping it will get fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whepper:
Yes, I agree. It's the best post 1.5 ROM that's currently out there. It's indeed a 2.0.1 ROM. And I think too that the standard Android look without any HTC apps and customization works a lot better. Exchange sync for example is much quicker than on the HTC versions. The whole email app is far more responsive and easier to use.

Current bugs are that it cannot play video, camera limited to 3mp and some other small issues (no speaker sound after disconnecting headphones). It's not perfect yet, but fits my needs.
