Problem with Camera

I have a Qtek 9090, which I love to bits, but am having problems with the camera, and do not know if it is something that I am doing wrong.
When I am lining up a picture I want to take, the screen is fantastically clear, brilliant quality, so sharp, and colourful. Once I press, to take the picture, the saved image is of a greatly reduced quality; fuzzy, a little blurred, faded colours. This also happens if I am photographing still objects, so it is not due to the movement of the subject.
Anyone have any ideas? Do I have a certain setting 'off balance' or is this just the way it is? :evil:

I have a similar issue with My XDA IIs. The image i see in what i can describe as the view finder is really crisp, but once i take a pic the image is no where near the same quality. I find that taking video is much better. Im sure this is not a hardware issue, but something to do with how the app compresses the image. Look out for other updates for the camera software in this forum. I have tried a couple of patches to no avail. Maybe it will be in another ROM update .i.e. windows update. I will keep my eye out for you and let you know if i find anything. Let me know likewise.
PM me if you like :idea:

I think you need to:
Upgrade your carmera software - search this forum for latest version of extended rom (the carmera program version should be 2.21).
Secondly, do not save photo in SD card - try in storage (I guess should be faster to record the pics you have taken)

I am having the same problem...and guess what: I have version 2.21 ( build 17084 ).
Maybe it is because there isn't steadyshot on it? :roll:
Anybody got the answer to our problem?

Yeah, i have the latest version of the software as far as i know. I also have latest patches / updates. Video quality is fine though.... Bit of a weird one, but im sure there will be an update out that will fix it soon.

Hello, can you help me?

Hello all, i am new here and i do not know if this is the right place to be posting this, so if not please move it, and send me a PM to where it has been moved.
So i have a bug with my T mobile Dash. After i upgraded it to WM6, the camera colors have been messed up! i have also installed Excalibur WM6.1 ROM by Kavana and that did not change my camera problem either (although i must say it is an excellent piece work!) would any one know how to fix my problem? or if i need to reinstall my camera program, how can i do that?
Thank you all for you time

bump .................

Heat?
I was wondering if you have let the phone be placed near a heat source? Also have you actually just tried cleaning the lens of the camera itself? The camera program and the drivers are reinstalled each time that you have flashed the ROM on the phone. It can only be a hardware problem if you are experiencing this problem throughout successive installations of different ROM's, AFAIK then this can only be attributed to the hardware. I suggest cleaning the lens however just in case there is a clear buildup of something on the lens. Otherwise someone wiser than I needs to help you out.

sorry for the late reply, was out of the country, but it is different because the colours look so different you can see that the camera is working. but it seems like soemthing has toggled with my camera files when i updated to wm 6

Do you have to have OMAP turned on to a different CPU rate?

where can i see that?

Start->All Programs->Accessories
Make sure OmapClock is set to a lower then 150 or disabled.
A more powerful battery very much helps also.
*I have a script that if Camera or Video option is picked it defaults OmapClock.
Mortscript program is needed.

[REQUEST] New HTC ALBUM C-A-B..??

I wonder if anyone can help and provide a cab for the new htc album (with iphone like picture switching-plus its waaaay faster than the default old one..)
I want to use it with some roms that dont include it!! (old manila..!!)
Many many people that still on stock roms would also find this very helpful!!
Sorry if i am wrong for opening a new thread here..!
Thanks in advance..

anyone..??

impatient, aren't we?

True..
But i flash a new rom every two days..!!! its gone out of control..i had my hd doing everything right but not being what it is..a phone!! (tons of problems answering calls with s2u2 caller id over new rodium dialer-which sucks-same s*** with resco contact manager which freezes every now and then in the newer builds..etc etc!!)
So i said i'll stick a while with a stock rom or 6.5..(6.5 after trying is out of the question..even with the 202 build..)
I found davideuck v7 and thought ok..give it a shot! And its amazing ..! AND RELIABLE!.. but with the "default" album..! which sucked from day 1 .. When you try the new one though you JUST CANT go back! So i wanted to know if its possible to have it VIA CAB!! Reflashing is not always a good thing to do cause for me its like 5 hours or so..(all apps from scrath etc..)
SO PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP...!! stock rom people would also love this!!

Here you go...
I hope that I am not breaking any forum rules by posting this. It was included to older dutty roms. I think it is not the latest version but you have this real time slide feature already.
Have fun!

Thank you very much! Will try and report back!

too bad! didnt work.. i am currently using davideucks v7..
i didnt do something special (such as disable tf3d first or something..)
installed ok, soft reset. i can see pics but when i am trying to scroll..it freezes

Same happens on my device. Using Davideuck 6.5 V6.

I think the fact that its Duttys own cab for his roms means its most likely not going to work on any other roms but his!

After a lot of search i found many builds of the 3xx version of the album!!!BUT ALL PORTED FOR DIAMOND .. (vga) No one has the original wvga one ???
(if it can be found as cab could also be used in davideucks 6.5 v6.. dave said he will cook a build with it in the rom but a cab would be nicer for all!)

If anyone can tell me what this "new album" is I could make a cab. Right now I'm using a self-cooked ROM with Album version 3_0_19131221_0, and seriously think about recooking the ROM to include the stock Blackstone one.
What's so revolutionary about it?

Its fast..!! The new album is the version you are using, with the iphone style and smootheness changing between pictures.. Its from rhodium as far as i know..

Whether it's fast or slow depends on a lot of things apparently, it's very slow in this ROM and was fast in my previous one.
It works the same way as the old one in terms of transition between pictures anyway. And on the downside it doesn't rotate pictures.

So we are not talking about the same album! You would have seen so much difference that you could never go back to an older version! even with the limitation in zoom levels!
Back to start i suppose..

I think we are talking about the same Album. It was very fast in my previous ROM.
I can easily go back to anything though. I just don't care about viewing pictures too much. And even less so about whether it's like the Jesus Phone or not.

Can someone then port it from duttys 2.6 for example, so it can be usable with every rom..?? or at least of the same build?

New CAB sucks! I want the original! Where can I get the original! I love the circle to zoom that would zoom an image of a photo that was almost too small to see on the phone so close and in crystal clarity! This new album SUCKS! 1 level of zoom and it's damn grainy! Way grainy! Not crystal clear at all.

+1 with Molitar, I prefer the old one. On Blackstone we do not have hardware zoombar.

I found an $8 software called Kai's Deinstaller.. it actually worked after the update from the 1D. I ran it and back to the older album

Any progress on this? I could do with an up-to-date album on the rom I use...

Samsung i907 Epix Windows Mobile 6.5 28008

WM6.5 build 28008 - 15mb page pool - New Updated
http://rapidshare.com/files/315869018/Epix28008_15mb.bin
*Capable of viewing Chinese and Japanese - I added this for myself but forgot to remove it when building the new bin
- Nicer title bar and battery percentage status bar
- Added few utilities: PHM RegEdit, Pocket RAR, Pocket Screen Capture, psShutXP and Totalcmd
- Fixed Wi-Fi, proxy manager and ring tunes
- Further cleaned up the Samsung/AT&T applications and settings
- Added Enhanced GPS settings and HSDPA setting in control panel
- IE default home page to Google.com
*Mouse pixel rendering is still an issue due to the OEM driver.*
This rom should be one of the best Epix Winmo 6.5.
Buy me a coke!
* Boot on first initialization screen will be slow - I think it's the nature of WM6.5 and also using WM6.1 drivers
* Mouse rendering is still an issue
--Use this rom at your own risk--If you don't know how to flash a custom rom, please ask or else you might ended up with a korean made, hi-tech brick.

This is just the regular english version. I haven't implemented the Chinese capabilities yet.

It's just like all other WM6.5 versions...I did not add anything extra yet.

Downloading now
Thanks for putting so much effort into this.

Can you add the palm threaded messaging when you get the chance ?, because it works really well on my epix. Also, the percentage battery icon from your previous rom kills the battery pretty fast.
Thanks for your hard work

Startup is a little slow, but otherwise it definitely works. Trashcan's the man. Also for anyone wondering the VGA patch works on this ROM, though the menus are still HUGE...
One other thing, device.exe usage is still through the roof after using GPS... ugh..

well that sucks, but not unexpected. The GPS cpu usage is linked to the phone portion of the rom that was updated in ID1. Either way, flashing now and looking to see what's new. (At least I don't have to wait for AT&T/Samsung to push out an update for 6.5)

When I originally flashed the update, no matter what I did I couldn't get the "phone" portion to update so I ended up with a new "pda" version but retained the old "phone" portion. I was pissed at first, but I have none of the device.exe issues, no slog dumps, and things are generally pretty stable. Maybe that's the way to here as well? Use 6.5 with the old radio?

If only those of us with the new radio could reflash the old radio...I still prefer this form factor over the Fuze I'm using now.

The rom is running smoothly, but I noticed that none of the shortcut keys seem to be working and I'm not sure how to get the camera to work. Also, seems to be a little square of distortion in the middle of the screen, or wherever the cursor of the mouse is.

Two quick questions before taking the plunge:
1. Is the process the same as the 'trashcan' 6.1 update but with a different .bin?
2. Can the 6.5 ROM be re-flashed back to the 6.1 with the same process?
Thanks for all the hard work on this!!

GREAT job trashcan! w00t!
Not to seem ungrateful, I'm really excited, but I thought I would compile some of the issues I've found so far, I know some posts have already identified them, but I made a list!
some of the ring tones are corrupt (ring-standard .wma) for instance
when enabling pin lock (required by exchange), the first few times the lock screen comes up it pretty much freezes the phone
graphics buffer corruption where the mouse pointer is
with the high-dpi fix, IE won't start
camera application reports missing dependency
I've noticed connectivity issues - upon boot, everything works, but then the network connection dies and I have to reboot
right after flashing the phone it took about 5 minutes stuck on the orange Windows screen and wouldn't respond to anything, I don't know if this is normal for 6.5 or just because the rom is running a little slow, but hopefully everyone who is gonna flash will read this and know to expect it

Yeah hopefully they finish that new gdmfing phone rom, supposedly they're aware of the issue and are supposed to redo the ID1 update.
As far as the ROM: Only real issue i've noticed is sometimes switching screens there's a graphical artifact in the middle of the screen, it's like a box where the pixels render screwed up, like there's something "layered" behind the window messing up how it draws the image, if you get what I'm saying. Edit: it's the mouse pointer as others pointed out, didn't see page 2, I use 4 way nav instead of pointer but the pointer seems to still "be there" in the background. I also noticed the initial boot took AGES, but it's decently quick now.

These are 2 questions I would also like to know. Also does anybody have any link for the program to flash the bin file? I've never done a non official rom for my Epix yet, but this one looks like a gooden.

1. Yea, same procedure
2. I don't see any reason why you couldn't go back to 6.1, although I haven't tried
3. I used grandprix 1.6.4 on win7 (vista version)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8ie3738v

I downloaded the program to flash and it looks pretty straight froward. But I would like to confirm the steps before I do it and brick my phone. I see you have to select a profile, then it will let you select the image. Select the image in PDA, and then do I leave the others blank? Also after that I'm kind of lost a bit... Sorry I'm a n00b on this. I've done the older Cingular 8525 and the Blackjack but that be about it.

That is what I did exactly. I chose the BIN in PDA, left the others blank. Then turn off the phone, plug into USB, click the "Detect" button, and turn phone back on. Then....wait. The program froze on me at Writing Fake CSC Header, so I ripped out the USB after a while and tried to turn it off and back on. And BAM: WinMo 6.5

[Q] Issues With Vignette?

Hello all!
So I've installed CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1 and it's amazing. But it seems that when I run Vignette (which is a fantastic camera app btw) the viewfinder is messed up.
The bottom half of the screen is completely black, while the top half is stretched and distorted.
I reflashed the stock rom and everything was fine. It just doesn't seem to work properly in CyanogenMod.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea on how to fix it?

I've got the same issue and since Vignette is my favorite Camera App. i'm sort of bummed out. I'm not sure if there's a fix but that's something Cyanogen will have to look into.
Besides the bottom half of the screen being black, you can still take pictures and they turn out just fine.

Whoa, I'm upset now. I was using Vignette earlier (and I agree, *great* camera app) and it didn't have this problem, but now when I open it I see this problem occurring. What happened I wonder... It'd be great if someone could figure out a way to fix this.

I've got a fix!!! (sort of)
I emailed the developers and one of them responded back to me. She sent me a test build that fixed the issue completely. I suggest emailing the developer to see if she'll send it to you, as well. Good luck! (it's worth it, this version is pretty badass)
