Camera doesn't work
I went to use the camera on my Dash the other day but when I pressed the camera button, nothing happened. I've tried every which way to get the camera to work but everytime I try to load the camera application nothing happens. I've gotten the camera to work in the past so I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
By the way, I'm running WM6.
press and hold the button
I am fully aware that you have to either hold the button or press alt+camera - I read the manual. I should have made that clearer in my original post, sorry.
s620 camera problem
Hi guys, really would appreciate some help on this...
I just got a HTC s620 from shipped from the states (I'm in New Zealand), and I've noticed a problem with the camera.
The first day I got it, I was able to use the camera despite it being a little buggy and it would crash at times...
Since the second day, everytime I try to go to the camera or video recorder app, the app will crash. The little loading symbol comes up for a few seconds and then everything stops. I am able to go back or back to the home screen. I have tried soft resets, multiple hard resets, but nothing works!
It is so frustrating, this is such a great little device, but the camera issue really skunked me!
Do you thinking re-flashing the ROM would help? I am hoping that when WM6 comes out, it would solve my problem...
It's hard to get it serviced as I am overseas!
me too
I've been having the same problem and I have WM6 - I think it started happening after I upgraded. I would reflash the ROM but the thought of deleting everything and have it still not work is a little scary...
well...I flashed the ROM today with the HTC WM5 version...
still no luck! Now I'm starting to think that this is a hardware fault...
Any ideas?
Excalibur Camera
I`ve read in other article (don`t remember where), that the HTC Camera is limited by software in 1.3 mp... actually, the camera has 2.0mp.. anyone knwo anything about that? With any kind of patch, it`s possible to record videos with a better quality?
Thanks,
Regards!
oh, that would be so cool.
Not that the camera is what made you buy this phone, but still, if you can better, then why not!!!
I'm hoping some1 knows about this.
tatarezende, send us the link for this forum where you read this.
That would be soooo awesome !!
Shouldnt be that hard actually to extract the 2.0mp driver from a some newer device with 2mp, like the S710 maybe!?? Would be really cool...but we should have a glance on the article..
hm...if we can hack or tweak this camera to take pictures at 2.0 MP - that'd be the ice-breaker cause that's the only thing this phone's lacking and that's a minimum requirement of a 2.0 MP Camera based on the standards today.
now, i personally use a Ateksoft Cool Camera as my camera application,
http://www.ateksoft.com/
check it out. it really works. i've used it a couple of times, you have to play around with the settings to get it to work properly but yeah, the pictures are quite vivid.
so... still no news about unlocking camera?
Yes sirrrr that would be nice

Broken Camera?
Hey everyone, first real post here.
I purchased a "new" T-Mobile Dash about a week ago, and received it about 2 days ago. I just unlocked it to make it work with my network (AT&T), and while messing around with the phones features I noticed that the camera wasn't working.
I've jumped from 3 different ROMs: The newest official T-Mobile ROM, the newest Roger's ROM (not sure what number), and now I've finally found and downgraded to T-Mobile's WM5 ROM (1.11.531.1)
Only now that I have downgraded to WM5 does the Camera application actually boot. At least now it displays an error message, "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device." I am assuming that this is a hardware issue, any thoughts?
Camera not working on DASH after upgrading
Hi,
I upgarded my T mobile Dash with the WM6 T mobile interface but than my camera and volume strip stopped working. Can anyone tell me how do I go back to the WM5 ROm, any site where I can downlaod the same.
Thanks
Dee

YES I tried the hard reset it still didn't work. I have not tried reinstalling the WM6, can you send me the link to download the same as I don't have it anymore.
Thanks
Agree with you... can't get the camera to work. Only get the spinning "loading" symbol for a couple of secs and then nothing happens. WM6
problem with camera
what'd'**** wrong with my htc s620 camera?
see picture i get using s620 camera
Ok so, my TP2 used to play videos perfectly fine, and hardly ever lag up switching tabs or closing programs.. Now it doesn't. Videos have now become unwatchable, and phone lags up a LOT. Even after just flashing to a new rom that proposes about 45% on bootup, It usually ends up being around 56% right now, with no programs open, its been running about an hour or so without a reboot, I've used cleanRAM and even after that, its at 62%...
Can anyone tell me whats going on with my phone? With the last 2-3 roms I've tried, it was the same. Will be trying another one while waiting for answers..
Stock ROM WM 6.5
Install stock,original HTC WM 6.5 ROM and your problem will be solved.
You did not mention which ROMs you have installed but forget about the cooked ROMs...none of them is even close to original one.
And try to avoid installing some suspicious applications.
In this forum,you will find a thread about applications which work perfectly on TP2.
Best regards,
Alex.
My skype panel stopped to work and is not showing the baloons any more.My rom is the original R3a ita. I saw sometimes it gives me a shell32.exe error but not all the times.I try to unistall, install again and hard reset as well, but the problem was not solved. I also donwloaded again the panel cab but same problem.Changed the hard spl and installed other roms, same problem. I don't know what it can be.I know is not a big issue but actually is strange that is not solved even after a hard reset. Skype is working anyway, just when it is connected i also saw the scroll of the panel is very slow and gets stucked sometimes, while when i close it the scrolling is fast and smooth again
By the way, i also tried to install both int he memory card and the phone memory.
Anyone experienced the same?
same problem here, roms are great and perfect until i install skype, then the shell32 error appears
That's strange as it was working perfectly and suddently stopped. could it be a hardware problem? I took to replace the ribbon cable because opening the slide the phone was freezing, but when back the panel was working, then died...
Well quite sure is not a software problem.I formatted totally with the task 29 and than flashed with a new rom. All works but the baloons in skype panel never appear. It drives me crazy as there are no apparent reasons for this. Is anyone who is using the panel without problems? I also downloaded the panel again but same result. So is not a corrupted cab.
Hey guys i have the shell32 error too.. But im not using skype.. I do install skype, but the skype is not causing this problem for me. my tilewave did. and some time my growing panel. what may cause this anyway? for me it appear to be an error when its lag. then the shell32 error show up. then i have to restart my device.
Ive looked all over the web and literally did not sleep last night trying to figure this out, not a wink. I got this phone as new as used gets from ebay. It was unlocked, i relocked it and have the stock rom back on it. No matter what Ive tried I cant get audio with the youtube app in HQ/full screen mode, but if i select the "fast download" quality i have audio and of course less then ideal video. Ive tried hard resetting, someone suggested pulling the battery out to reset the speaker (speaker works fine with everything else), and someone suggested a hard reset, and then changing all internet connections to media net. this supposedly worked for them, but not me. Anyone have any ideas? Either i hear nothing out of the speaker in full screen or i hear static. Codec issue? Driver issue?.. Theres other youtube apps around that are from roms or made by google.. they work fine but the video quality just isnt there for me like it is on the stock youtube app, im a perfectionist, this is annoying especially since youtube worked on my last tilt 2. Is anyone else having this problem? I literally have not slept because its driving me nuts. Im usually able to fix this stuff, and my last tilt 2 that i broke had youtube working fine. Ideas????? Thank you so much for helping me keep my sanity and not be an insomniac perfectionist. I really appreciate it.
So YouTube works great, just not with the quality you expect?
lol, it's YouTube dude. Don't expect high quality.
You don't mention anything about wifi or 3g tho. Have you tried on wifi?
Help me please. This shouldnt be happening.
No it doesnt work great at all. In High quality download mode the picture is absolutely great but no audio at all. I didnt have this problem with my last tilt 2.. no audio in full screen/hd download mode. The video quality is amazing but i have no freakin audio unless i select it to be downloaded as a crappier quality "fast download" option. So "fast download" works (audio and video) but sucks by nature, and HQ/full screen has amazing video but no audio at all. Havent tried wifi, will do that now. If i dont repost an update by 6:45 P.M. eastern time that didnt work.
ok... i put wifi on, and now when i try to play a video it just says "connecting" and sits there... odd.??
helllllppppp
ok, got it to connect with wifi. still no sound in high quality/full screen mode.

Then there's something wrong with your phone. Why did you relock and flash stock?
ok... the genius somehow got it working! Just a matter of fooling around with settings that you wouldnt think of... thats why its called a bug. I have andvanced config.... so i turned off "fixed landscape mode" and for the HTC audio booster settings i made sure they were all set to default... now its beautiful as it gets. crazy. once again, thats why they call it a bug. I need to get hired as an IT guy dammit.
Oh, and since re-locking the phone it has not froze on bootup at the orange windows mobile startup graphic. Not even once. It was doing it ridiculously frequently before.
Ha. Glad you got it fixed.
Silly WinMo.
thanks, and yeah it sure is.
HTC Touch Pro 2 CAB
Hello,
Does anyone have a working HTC Youtube app (perhaps cab) for the HTC Touch Pro 2? I had a problem with my original app not playing sound when viewing HD/HQ videos; however it played sound when watching in Fast Download, but the video quality was horrible. I downloaded the latest Google app which seems to play sound OK, but I not like the design of the app as the video playback did not fill the screen. Unfortunately, when I downloaded Google it overwrote the original HTC app and I cannot get it back without doing a hard reset, which I prefer not to do. I found HTC Youtube version 2.6 (Build 1922.4122) while surfing this board, but it does not play sound too. I think me original version was 2.6 (Build 2011.1727).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Maybe try this version?

RE: HTC Touch Pro 2 YouTube CAB
Thanks mr.horndoctor,
Unfortunately, this is HTC YouTube CAB - LEO YouTube_2_6_19224122.cab, which is the CAB that I am currently using and does not play sound in most HD/HQ modes. I am hoping to find my original version was 2.6 (Build 2011.1727), or greater that will work on the Touch Pro 2. What's interesting is I have seen this problem reported for quite some time, but I have not seen a final closure or resolution to the problem.
Thanks again for your effort.
hardcoresmylife, Could you tell me more details about this? I am also suffering from this issue.
Hello,
Yesterday I purchased the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch for Virgin Mobile (SP-D710VMUB). I am incredibly happy with the phone so far, however when I downloaded Instagram, I discovered that recording video caused the phone to freeze, and eventually restart on its own.
After searching for the problem, I saw that some LG users had a problem where only the front facing camera would record. I thought I'd give it a shot, and the front facing camera works perfectly. No freezing or crashes. I also so the post about the Epic 4G Touch where users had to disable 'Use Instagram's Advanced Camera'. After disabling the option, I am unable to select video, and am only able to take photos.
Nothing else seems to cause freezing or crashing in Instagram, only taking video with my rear camera.
I am running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I am not rooted, and the phone is completely stock as of right now.
If anyone has any information, or any idea as to what may be causing this problem; any advice would be much appreciated.

Here is a link to an Instagram apk. I would try it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332178
Just delete the instagram app you have installed...download the instagram apk. from the link and install with a file manager..( es xplorer/astro )..to just list a couple...any file manager/browser will work. No need to be rooted..so don't worry about that.
That being said..I do not use Instagram..So this is just a guess on my part...Read through the whole thread..( I just skimmed )..Could be other users having this issue as well and might have a fix..But from what I saw..it looked to be working.
Thanks for the reply! I tried the apk you linked (v4.1.0). Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. However, I did discover that it isn't freezing and crashing immediately when pressing the record button anymore, but instead when I finish recording a video.
If you are using the 4G Epic Touch, could you please install Instagram and attempt to record video to see if you have the same problem? I'm not sure as to whether this might be a problem with my phone or with the Instagram app.
Thanks again for your reply.
EDIT: I noticed that the phone's buttons remained responsive for a short time after Instagram froze. I was able to hit the home button after it locked up following the recording of a video. After making it to the home screen, I was able to go back into Instagram only to find a still frame of the video I just took, and black bars in place of the Instagram UI. Android soon reported that Instagram wasn't responding and allowed me to force close it via the prompt.
I don't know if this information is relevant or helpful to anyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
@Auze
ill try it later..as of now im downloading 4.3 gapps for a new rom on my gtab 10.1...
But to me it sounds like an app problem...
Thanks, if you don't get around to it, it's no big deal. I appreciate your help. I agree that it sounds like an app problem, although I am curious if it happens to all 4G Epic Touches.
For anyone that has this problem, I worked around it by filming a video with the stock Camera app, and then going into Instagram and uploading that video from the Gallery. It will go right into the Instagram video editor, and you can proceed as normal.
