Camera - green capture screen instead of picture - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hey folks!
Datasheet of my device:
SPL 1.40 olipro Bootloader (Hard-SPL)
Previous ROM: Faria-R32 / Dr Puttingham WM6.1 STORM KLICK
With Faria-R32 cam worked perfectly.
Installed a several new ROMs today, then installed important apps for me over Device Update.
Problem:
The camera is working, but the screen is totally weired and green if I start the cam app. The menues are there, but it looks like a green tv with no right installed terrestrial antenna (Tried CoolCamera also, the same). What am I doing wrong?
No matter if camera app is included in the ROM or if I install over Device update...the problem's always the same...
Till yesterday everything went fine with cam...
Anyone a hint or is this a known problem?
Thanks in advance!
Greets

I had this problem also
I fixed it by opening her up and reseating the camera and little pcb board next to it.
It worked for me
Make sure when you close her back up that the closeup lever and backplate align.

i have the same problem
@MystaMagoo : you think this is a hardware problem? Could it be the camera driver?

No, opening the Trion and adjusting the camera system didn't help...
But there is something weired. When I intall Coreplayer, and activate ATI Imageon Video Output, I got the same weired green screen playing videos. If I switch to the others (DirectDraw...) I can watch the video.
Software issue?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
i jus got my camera working, i just made a new hard spl 3.28 and it is all good now!!!

Trinity HTC Camera Problem

Maybe lots have come across the video playback problems with the HTC Trinity - the annoying green screen instead of the video playback.
I've recently realized that all the problems are caused by the HTC Camera. The video files are being played smoothly until you start the camera.
Upgrading the camera program didn't help. Is there anything I can do to solve this issue?

i think that you must change your software rom ... it must be a codec problem ...
I've tested several roms (WM5 & WM6) - every time the problem is identical - I've never had a ROM with proper video playback. I thought that this is common issue until I realized that the camera software caused it.
I don't understand what do you mean by video files are being played smoothly until you start the camera...
why do you start your camera if you're playing your videos?
No ... I usually don't watch videos while taking pictures
I watch videos ... everything is cool ... then close player ... than start camera ... taking photos etc. ... I close the camera ... if I want to start watching videos again - I can't.
Does anyone have solution?
I had the same problem as you but i never managed to track down what i did differently each time for the green screen, all i knew was that if i watched a video, i knew i would have to restart because otherwise ALL videos would show the green screen. I have solved the problem now by just updating my Coreplayer/TCMP player.
Have you found another cure yet?

I use latest version of both ... this does not solve the problem (at least my problem )
Oh no, i thought that would of fixed it. I guess i havnt used mine enought to discover its still bad. Lets hope someone finds a cure
Thank you in advance
Unfortunately it turns out (this is just my opinion of course) that the cure will be new camera application or new video driver.
Who will do it ... HTC genius engineer stuff ... I don't think so ?
Just think of the problems with TyTn II users and guess when this will happen

hi
plz ppl with omnia answer these questions..as many ppl wantto get this phone it would help all of us knowing some interesting questions about it
1)does real vga work on it
2)is there an issue using programs especially games on it
3)have you tried opera 9.5 if so how does it render
4)is the 5mp camera as goodas nokia n95 camera?
5)can you post some screen shots so we can get a better idea of the actual resolution
6)hows the gps functionality??
plz answer as many questions as you can!
thanks
1) the screen is WQVGA so that means Wide Quarter VGA, so no... it's not VGA
2)because of the wierd screen resolution (400x240), games tend to only work in landscape mode... if you try to turn them rightside up, the buttons won't work on the touchscreen (they're messed up)
3)haven't tried opera...
4)in my opinion it isn't as good.. although it has more options with wich to play, it's kind of laggy (you press the button, you wait for the autofocus and then it takes the pic) - but maybe if you fool around a bit with the settings you'll get better results
5)i'll post pictures made with it and some pictures of it tomorrow perhaps
6)the gps is actually assisted-gps enabled and it works pretty good... i even got gps signal inside (and not near a window) - iGo 8 works fine, so does navigon and garmin, haven't tried tomtom route66 or others...

[Q] Problem with camcorder on my Defy?

I'm having a constant problem with video errors when using the camcorder on my Defy. It's like white lines coming from the top right of the screen, appearing during fast movement or with a lot of light. I did a quick search but didn't find anything so I'm kinda worried my Defy may be defective. I've embedded a sample video. Watch the top right corner.
After a few more tests I've noticed the problem occurs on the majority of videos but light makes it stands out more (white lines instead of dark lines). This is using the standard VGA mode on the camcorder. The problem is also visible while recording, it isn't something that appears only when playing back.
If it helps, my System version is Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB. Build number is JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated, need to find out ASAP so I can figure out if I need to exchange it.
Look at mine...
look at this. And I cannot help it, dont know what to do.

I have the same problem while recording at VGA if something black appears in the corner. But there is no problem while recording at CIF. Using the Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE rom
I'm not finding a problem with CIF either, just VGA. For example using QIK there is no problem at all and that appears to use CIF.

Camera problem 2nd init.

I installed 2nd init and multi touch enabler and now when open camera it shows only black. I can see all camera tools, etc. I can take pictures but cant see through the camera.
Is issue fixable? I can't find straight answer...

Just clear camera data at settings. [menu>settings>applications>manage apps]
And then reboot.

[Q] Defy Weird Camera Problem

Hi,
I am facing this rather weird problem with my motorola defy.
A brief history: I live in India and I got my phone packed with Eclair and then i updated it to Froyo.
After that I rooted my defy and then installed MIUI Gingerbread.
But then again I started missing Blur and so I flashed a UK Motoblur rom on my Defy...
But since then the Camera is not working properly.
Actual Problem:
The camera application works fine. I mean it captures pictures and videos just as it should, but i see a black screen while doing so.
I start my camera application and its a black screen so is the case with camcoder.
I have attached a screen shot of my camera application to give you a better understanding of my problem...
I cant even watch youtube videos on my cell coz that too (videos) play with a black screen.
I dont understand what is the problem. I tried clearing the Camera application cache...but it does not help.
Is there anyone who can make me understand what is wrong with my phone.
Thanks
Have you installed 2ndinit bootmenu on the phone?

did you clear camera cache and thumbnails???
happened to me once
do a factory reset
apologies for n00bishly bumping a thread, but I have the same problem.
Since I rooted my phone and installed 2nd Init (I haven't flashed a new ROM yet, still on stock) youtube just gives me a black screen (sound is fine) and the same thing happens when I take a photo; the screen is visibily photo but takes a photo fine when I press the shutter
will a factory reset undo the SIM unlock?
Try uninstalling 2ndinit bootmenu.
Had the same issue, this is how it was resolved.
