Has anyone got problems with their camera not working?

I press the camera button and nothing happens, if I am in the camera app and press it, it focuses but then does nothing. No picture is taken. It is the same with this and video recorder.

I should point out that the button is not broken, it depresses, and the camera application reacts by beeping, but a photo is never taken (or a video for that matter)

I have an O2 Uk HD7. I'll call HTC soon, but thought Id start a thread to see if others have a similar prob.
[HD7 General] dairyface:
LOL. Im an idiot.

The button is a 2 stage button, 1 for focus' and then harder for the actual photo.

BAH!
[HD7 General] foaf:
I take no shame in admitting I did the same thing :)
[HD7 General] dairyface:
Oh good, im glad im not the only one :D We can blame the button being a bit too hard!
[HD7 General] Jeimygirl:
I did the same thing! And I'm aphotographer. The button is a bit hard and you have to press it all the way down for it to take ths pic. plus the button is on an angleed surface, you have to press it at an angle for it to work right.
[HD7 General] ckacey:
It also wont work if the proximity sensor is activated, like when it's in your pocket
[HD7 General] thesegelkste:
lol I did the same thing. For the life of me I could not figure out how to take a picture. But I eventually figured it out. Btw, when your phone is off just hold the camera button for a few seconds and the camera will come up. Pretty neat feature.
[HD7 General] Fuse8499:
I had this issue too. The camera button is quite flush with the device. I've missed a couple of shots because of this. Not a big deal. Just have to get used to it. I'm just glad to have a dedicated camera button.
[HD7 General] Strathviews:
Yet another idiot calling!!!

Thanks guys, I had the same problem lastnight. So that's one hitch sorted..... Now for the ringtones!!!
[HD7 General] kwill:
Yeah. I'm no idiot (most of the time) and I have to say, it took me a few snaps to get it down and it's still a little difficult. Bottom line is the button doesn't make it real easy at all. In fact, it's a primary contributor to a few crappy shots I've taken.:D
[HD7 General] hums:
same stupd user i was. finaly i got it - but the result in sharpness is big bad difference in relation to hd2.
[HD7 General] ckacey:
I tried to take a quick pic of my parking place in a parking garage today, I'm a left-handed and I keep my phone in my left pant pocket, I was being rushed by my friends and tried to take a pic of the sign but I was blocking the proximity sensor. I realized this at the last moment and managed to snag a blurry shot as the elevator doors opened. I'll need some more time with this phone to get used to that.

But at least I don't have any pictures of the inside of my pockets.
[HD7 General] rscaramelo:
I was on the phone with TMobile setting up a warranty exchange for my busted camera when I discovered this thread. Camera not busted luckily. Strange setup. Work around I noticed was holding the button softly then pressing power.
[HD7 General] HBS27:
Well the camera is actually of not a very good quality. Some pictures are truly sharp but for that many things like light, angles and luck have to come together. And ofcourse the button adds to the miserable pics.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mxl180:
well not necessarily,

BUT

the phone has TWO modes of charging.

UBS and AC Charger.

USB recharges about 400-500mah

AC recharges about 900mah

This is flagged by a pin on the USB. BUT this is also flagged in the OS somewhere.

This is done in windows mobile via software hack so the OS thinks it's always on AC charger.

I'm just throwing this out there if someone can figure out what code is flagging the system to think this is UBS or AC connected.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] imleon:
i think the AC method just reduces the charging time, other than increases battery life. Right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jp2012:
Yep. But I think that's what he's getting at. He wants it to charge just as fast while on usb. There's no way to increase battery life... other than buying a higher capacity battery.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ranger61878:
Or using Collins Battery Tweak. :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=791060
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
you can try that but no matter what yo u cant get anymore power out a USB. if a USB does 4-500 then even if it was hacked it would only output 4-500. If anything it might damage the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hexskrew:
Only real possibility I can think of usb charging any faster is if you made a double headed usb cord (for plugging into two usb ports) it won't hurt anything, matter of fact Arduino boards can be used like this as well as external cd/dvd drives without dedicated power, and even some low power routers (like my fon router)

At either rate, even if this were to work, you have to think about how the phone itself rates the incoming power. It may have nothing to do with the actual power charging mode coming into the phone (preferable for dual usb method), but if it has anything to do with just hardware, then it is most probably a no go because of the power balancing in the phone itself.

As far as the pin solution on usb, that may very well help out. I am sure it can range on the incoming power from the plug with that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] travlincablguy:
If you carefully open a usb charging cable and short the green and white wires on the pc side, with a 200 ohm resistor, the pc will output higher amperage and not let the phone switch into pc charge mode. You will not be able to sync with that cable but it will charge your phone like your ac outlet as long as it is a usb 2.0 port.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LancerEVA06:
Why not just buy a charger for a MOTO Razr? Thats why I use and it charges my phone fairly quickly, but slow enough to put more of a deep charge into the battery.

The less amperage you put towards charging a battery, will actually charge the battery "more".

Are there any sense hd roms that don't require an ext partition for A2SD?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
First you should not be posting these kind of questions under development.

About the SenseHD rom, there is a version which installs to the nand but needs a ext partition to install extra apps. Just reed this thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macca2805:
Thank you and my apologies.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ph0z3:
i dont know if im the only one with this issue, but once in a while, when im in a call... speakerphone or not, i get these weird noises! Its like this extra strange radio-squabble-type noises. Sometimes the other end can hear them, most of the time they cant.

But i do know this... its extremely obnoxious & would like to figure out how to fix it.

if anyone else has had this issue, or can help with this, i would be MORE THAN thankful.

Milestone (AT&T)

TelusLite v5

G.O.T.-OR (2.1)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dlbogdan:
I have them too, but not at all obnoxious. It sounds like you may have a bigger problem with noise then me.

Anyway, it's because of the poor GSM/3G module shielding from the audio amplifier. I wouldn't worry about it, just set the in-call volume to 5 and you're set.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ph0z3:
ah... so this is a hardware issue, and not really much i can do to solve the issue. alright. well ill drop the volume when i can, but for the most part i need the volume up, because i work in noisy areas.

thanks for the heads-up though.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
So voodoo was created to solve lag problems...now we have froyo. A leaked version at that and the lag is pretty much gone.....at least in the custom rom builds of froyo. I don't really see the need for voodoo since I upgraded. Are there any benefits to the rfs file system? All I've read are the negatives but that was with eclair.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
Try syncing Touchdown Exchange on RFS alone. Its miserable. Anything that is database intensive (lots of reads/writes) you will notice it. That is really the only app that I have noticed that RFS sucks on, but mainly because that is my primary app.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
There must be a reason Samsung chose RFS - unless we hear from a Samsung developer, we may never know.
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
From what I've been able to gather about RFS, it is a FAT16 FS. Samsung implemented POSIX permissions and their own journaling mechanism on top of it. Sounds like a freaking zombie patchwork filesystem in my opinion.

MS released FAT16 in 1984. EXT4 was released in 2010. If Samsung hadn't of created RFS, my guess is that they would have likely gone with a reasonable choice for that partition: EXT3.

Though my background is systems administration and not phone hacking, I would say that there is not a single instance that I would use FAT over EXT for a filesystem that only Linux will see. EVER. It is only good as a FS that is read by several OSes, and even now NTFS is ubiquitously understood enough that I use it on my USB drives.

Long answer made short: NO. The only advantage RFS has over anything is that it is journaled where, by default, EXT2 and FAT are not.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
Here's a very good, comprehensive (but concise) run-down on exactly what's going on with the lag. As the poster explains, journalling on an SSD is not required.

I just saw this on download squad, its an app for windows that lets you amongst other things Install/Uninstall APK files right from explorer, Paste files from local clipboard to device, Flash Recovery Image, Control your android device with your mouse and keyboard.... and many more.

I havent tried it yet but it requires root + busybox. Its still in beta but it looks very promising.

[HD7 General] lumpaywk:
I fully charged my hd7 just before going to bed last night, i then did not touch anything on my phone just put it down and 8 hours later my alarm rings and i go to turn it off and noticed my battery was only half full. Does anyone know a way to check what is using the battery as i have not idea what it could be. Is it possible MS push updates at night? or is it more likely something wrong? I have been getting a day out of a charge with playing games and internet etc but this was doing nothing screen turned off no calls.
[HD7 General] risq:
Have you changed any update settings? I've left my update frequencies as standard and seem to be doing fine.

How many power cycles has the battery had, as they seem to take a few charges to settle down.
[HD7 General] lumpaywk:
this would of been number 4 so it could be that, the only thing new i added from the last charge that seemed fine was the htc hub so i have uninstalled that and hopefully i may have found the culprit.
[HD7 General] pr0ph:
Disable feedback as it can use the mobile data.

Disable update checking over mobile data.

Set email to download periodically rather than "as items arrive"

I have no idea if these will help and seriously doubt they will. I have just set these options myself after completely draining my battery in 14 hours of reasonably heavy usage. Fingers crossed.
[HD7 General] flintanis:
I had a similar problem. I then realised that the speaker was hissing as though an application was still running. Don't know how to stop apps running so took battery out. Replaced it and seems to be ok now.

When you turn the phone off the speaker seems to be on for a little while afterwards. I keep checking to make sure it goes off now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnttiV:
Eh, hi.

This is going to sounds too noobish for my mind, but I can't help it, sorry :)

I'm using this ROM - with the optional Apps2SD+ flashed and working - in my Desire. ClockworkMod Recovery installed. The ROM is rooted. The current card is partitioned with ROM Manager (before I flashed that ROM) as 512Mb ext, swap 0 plus rest.

Now, I want to upgrade my (4Gb) SDCard to a bigger (8Gb) one I have. I don't want to change anything, just "copy & paste" the current contents to the bigger card and have at it.

What is the best/easiest way to effectively "clone" the card to a larger one so that minimal re-installing is needed? (preferably none, as it's currenly my wife's phone.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Imo using the unbuntu live cd is going to be easer, that will read both you fat and ext partitions, then you can copy both to your hdd, partition your new sd card, and copy them bk :)

Greetings people ^ First of all Hi,im new to XDA

Awesome forum btw.

My question is : I have a SE X10i branded in Spain, Vodafone ES ...on R2BA024 (i think) and i wanna unbrand it to SE X10i UK Generic R2BA020 (That way i can get the 2.1 update faster,cause vodafone will take alot i think to get it rolling around)

Will it all work perfectly? I mean,will i concur with any problems?

Thanks in advance ^^

PS : My SIM Lock is off so i think ill be able to use any SIM i got

PS2: Sorry if this has been asked already ,i just couldnt find any posts regarding this.
[XPERIA X10 General] debs626:
I'm unlocked but branded Vodafone UK, build R2BA024 and would like some help in debranding too - so I can get the 2.1 faster.

I'm not sure how to debrand and what method will work :confused:

I have however managed to get root and have superuser permission (so i'm not a complete blonde) :D

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;)

still stuck on uk 024 :'(

Same thing happens on the SEUS swap method, it doesn't attempt to download the files as they are already there so I don't get the opportunity to swap :'(

Thank you sooooo much XperiaX10iUser and xtrmshadow. Chuffed to bits now I have finally got 026 on. I did it the way you both suggested but only up to part 5, then let SEUS update me to 026.

I also read something about replacing just one file? I can't find the post anymore and don't remember the filename. I unbranded my phone months ago. But my wife has the same phone from Vodafone, but branded. If someone can tell me the name of the file and whether I can copy mine file to her phone to unbrand it?
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
No you can't exactly copy it.

Go to the debrand thread posted on first page and read through carefully then you'll see that the files are copied to a certain folder on your pc. Since you've done it before I'm sure it will come back to you if you simply reread the obstructions.

Edit:Btw the links posted by XperiaX10User and xtrmshadow are actually same post with I copy and pasted on first page. Just so you don't get confused.
[XPERIA X10 General] olafski72:
I found it, I mean the build.prop. What if I replace her build.prop with mine? Would that work?

I know about the SEUS and then during the process replace the files etc. But that is not what I mean ;-)

anyway the reg edit let the hd7 show up on the "computer" page along with my hard drives

no file structure was visible tho so i couldn't browse to see any folders - i tried copying an mp3 onto the root but it wouldn't copy over

anyone else tried any thing or had better luck ?

forgot to say that the hd7 showed up as 2 drives guessing one is the phone and the other is the card

[HD7 General] one_mad_punk:
with phone unplugged from pc

start regedit

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet02

Right Click on the USB folder and select Find

Search for “PortableDeviceNameSpace”

Change the following values:

EnableLegacySupport to 1

PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell to 0

ShowInShell to 1

then plug in phone to pc - you should see the hd7 displayed as 2 drives
[HD7 General] MonteCristoffOn:
Excellent input. Thanks for the tip, one_mad_punk.

We know that WP7 formats the microSD card when you perform a hard reset.

NTFS ? FAT32 ? other type ?

Now we have to find the key to see its file system.

:cool:
[HD7 General] digime:
I've read that the phone stripes data across the builtin storage and the card. That means you won't be able to read anything off of them individually. They would have to be read in tandem at a binary level.

As far as I know the stripping info hasn't been confirmed by MS. The phone boots even without a card in it so it can't be stripping all of the builtin storage.

If you take the storage required for the phone OS away from what is built in I wouldn't have thought there would be very much left to make stripping worthwhile.

So ... maybe the phone only does stripping on phones like the Focus where two microSD cards may be present.

Who knows.
