Desire camera problem - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Recently I instilled RCMixHD 3.6.1. However today I came across a problem. I've had a look in the thread for it but doesn't seem like anyone else has had the issue. But the issue is that yesterday when I installed the ROM the camera was working fine. However come today it has changed to black and white only and no colours are shown. There seems to be a tv static like image around the camera preview to. Ant ideas on how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried a different rom, in order to understand if it is a hardware or software problem?

Yes I have also tried Droidzones gingerburst ROM and Leedroid ROM. The camera has worked fine on both of them. Is there any certain libs I may need to replace?

See if that post helps you. I had this issue with any non-sense ROM, probably because my DZ was manufactured for Asia. That patch was meant for CM6, but I used it successfully on CM7 and GingerVillian 1.5 although I had to adb push the files in.

Thanks, in i'll try it in the evening today.
What about c.m. 7 - everything works clear, no problems with sensor keys. Straaaaange

Probably they've put in the keyboard mappings from that patch since this issue was discovered. The last time I reflashed a ROM was in February, so I suppose they've had plenty of time to do that.

Gps & camera

Hi all,
Facing a problem with my gps 'n' hope you can help:
When launching an apk like AugSatNav or IOnroad, the gps signal keeps cutting and remains on searching.
Only when heading back to normal navigation, the signal comes back....
I think the link is the combination camera+gps (since A/R), but have no solution.
HTC support simply indicates that there's no problem with my gps, great help....
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers

Hi, 've seen tt quite some people saw the post, but no reply....
Does it mean that I'm the only one having this issue???
For info, i'm now rooted, will another ROM solve my problem (this one as well as linking a bt keyboard)?
Txs ;-)

Won't hurt to try another rom with the correct radio might fix your problem

Thanks, any idea which should do the job? Revolution (i like sense), or cm7?
And is there à 1-click like the ace hack kit?
Saw something with ROM manager and titanium back up (for installing all apk again), but i'm no hero..... ;-)

I would go with a CM based rom as it is the only one I have seen that will work with a BT keyboard.
No there is no one click rom install but with enough reading it is very simple
Finally dared. ... and flashed cm7. Indeed via rommanager easy !!!
Bt. Keyboard ok (yesssssss !!!!), but still facing same problem with my gps /camera : as soon as i have a signal and launch either iOnRoad or AugSatNav which needs the camera, the signal gets liste.....
Any idéals? Would be strange that DHD doesn't accept A/R......
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

Hi Dutch, I have the same problem, I'm trying to video my cycle commute (sick of being near-missed by cars). None of the apps I have tried will allow GPS to work while recording video. Daily Roads states the following, which is the clearest description of the issue i have found [at dailyroads.com/voyager/issues]
"GPS issues on the HTC Desire HD - a GPS fix can not be acquired, or is quickly lost. There seems to be a camera/GPS conflict on the hardware/firmware level in this phone, as all video recording applications affect the GPS signal. Suggested fix: disable GPS in the app's General settings (feature available only starting with version 1.6)."
Not a great help, I know, but at least an indication that there may be nothing we can
do! As my first post I'm a bit wary of noobing the bosses (having watched their very funny video - everyone should have one!) I will poke about a bit more. let me know if you find anything!

Note: there is an older thread on this where dailyroads have posted a test apk. I don't think it works and there is no indication of further activity
Thread is
[Q] Are GPS and videorecording compatible ?
Hi, txs for the thread indeed. Txs to Robert found a walkaround being the usage of an external b/t gps.
This works (at least for me).
By the way, no realistic answer from HTC: don't use third party apps, just the preinstalled htc ones and you won't face problems .....

Anyone find a better fix for this issue?
Hi, my GPS also had issues than i used the app GpsFix
and than it worked a lot smoother for me. But I only tested it on the original 2.3.3 rom without root.
The issue is not that gps does not work but that it will not work while the camera is on.

[Problem] Photo/Camera

Hello everybody,
I have three annoying problems with my camera.
First :
Sometimes, when I take a photograph, the phone loads the gallery just after and don't save the shot which I just take.
Second :
Sometimes, the picture is wrong.
I mean : When I take a photograph, in preview, the picture is good, but when I go to the gallery, the picture has a problem.
I can't describe it in English, but I have a example of the wrong picture here with.
Third :
When I am in the camera application, or in preview, the phone "block". I can't do nothing with it, only remove the battery for restart it...
I have the Runnymede AIO V6.0.4.3 ROM at the moment, but had this problem with old version of the ROM too.
I changed the radio yesterday to see if probems come from that, but it doesn't change anything.
Radio now : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08
Radio before : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Other info :
hboot Cm7r2
And my girlfriend has the three problems too with her Desire
Thanks for your help
Luc
I have the "second" problem , too , but rarely.. and another one : i use Runny ROM and the camera effects don't work (like the one with points, distorsing,etc.). Is something wrong with the rom, or this works just with cm7r2... ?
Thanks for help
i've heard of this issue before somewhere i think it's the roms issue
i had something like this on the htc dev rom occasionally when i took pics with the stock cam . do you get the same result with another rom eg non sense ?
Thanks for your help,
I will try with a AOSP ROM, and try to found the problem in the ROM issues.
Luc
I had the same problem in the ROM ICS, but switched to back to GB and everything works the best.
If this is Runnymede, it probably re-install the ROM fix this problem.
BTW: I recommend you RUNNY ROM v5.0
I had the second problem after 2 months of InsertCoin 1.1.4.
I switched to RunnymedeMOD007 and that problem stopped.
Also my pictures where low quality and I cleaned the plastic in the back cover with a little toothpaste to remove some residue of the anti-reflection layer that wore of.
Maybe those residue in some light environments helped in the distortion of some pictures like the one you sent.
Hmm ok,
I have tried to uninstall the HTC camera and to reinstall it.
Uninstall was OK
But didn't reinstall...
So I download a other camera in the market, pugging camera, a bit slower but worked perfectelly.
This afternoon, I had installed the RunnyRom V5.5
So, I will now try with it.
Thanks for your reply
camera problem
Hi,
I have all of those mentioned problems in first post. Stripe in the picture (I saw, that occurred just with zoom+), freezing phone after took the picture (this one is reaaaally annoying for me)... I had them in Runnymed AIO last 2-3 versions so I was thinking reinstall to RunnyRom will help me. But not... All mention reoccurred and new one is that after the picture is took, preview friezed, picture is not saved and only Home button works to go out from camera app. Did anyone solved this problem with camera? Why this happening?
Another problem a had with RannyMed AIO was that, phone randomly friezed and restarted. This occurred when browsing web, chatting on gTalk, using Sygic Aura navigation... really annoying... I thing this was caused by overheating, but I'm not sure... I have RunnyRom 6.1.1 just 2nd day, so for now happened just problem with camera...
Any suggestions?
thank you.
Hi,
I didn't resolve the problem.
I just install a other ROM, like Runny ROM

camera problem
Hi Luc,
Which one you're using? Do you have any similar problem?
thx
I'm using this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526831
I think, the ROM isn't supported anymore (or less upgarde), but have no problem with it.
Good rom for me, I wouldn't change for the moment
You should try resetting the standard value in your cams menu. This solves most of the freezing issues.

Hello winesh,
Thanks for suggestion but what exactly you mean with "try resetting the standard value in your cams menu"
EDIT:
I tried reset to default settings in camera menu... than I choose "smart SnapShot", make a picture and camera friezed without saving pictur... I have had to stopped camera application by pushed the home button.

Rebooting whenever there's an incoming call

Hi there guys. Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm having a weird issue where whenever I have an incoming call (before it shows up on the phone) my phone will reboot. I've called my phone several times and sure enough, as soon as the phone realises it's getting an incoming call (without actually showing anything on the screen) it just reboots.
This only seems to have happened since I flashed the faux (007u) kernel (although it might be that I just didn't notice it on Franco) but since I flashed to n3ocort3x (0.99 OCed GPU) to try and solve the problem, it still persists. I finally reflashed all the way back to Franco (r16) but even that hasn't worked. With every kernel I've flashed its individual modules too. I eventually gave up on custom kernels and moved all the way back to the stock ARHD kernel and modules but now even that makes me reboot whenever a call comes in.
I don't remember installing any apps recently that might have done this although it is hard to say when it started as I don't really notice a reboot while it's in my pocket on silent.
I'm running an international HOX unlocked.
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted
CWM recovery
Discovered I was running 9.3.2, upgrading to 9.4.1 now
Custom boot animation
Running OneXed camera mod and circlemod green
And I've tried Franco r16, faux007u and n3ocort3x 0.99 (OCed GPU) kernels.
I'm going to do a complete wipe and reinstall of the ROM and everything tonight but if that doesn't work I don't know what to do.
Thanks guys.
EDIT: Ok, so I reinstalled 9.4.1 with the stock kernel and so far this has fixed my problem. I'll keep installing things one by one to try and determine what the problem was but until then I'm open to ideas as to what might have been causing it.
EDIT 2: I've finally reinstalled all my apps, the n3ocort3x 0.99 (OCed GPU) kernel and all my mods. So far calling still works. I'm really confused now as to what the hell could have caused it. I'm going to tinker around and set all of previous settings too now so hopefully the problem won't show up then.
Have you uv the kernel??

Nope. I haven't done anything to the kernels. Just kept them as they came.
here's an idea. a very long shot idea though.
did you install any apps that are related to phone calls - ie saymyname (an app that reads out the callers name when you have an incoming call)
and then did you move that app to sd card or something?
a wild guess lol. the more i write the less likely it seems, but hey, i'm sure any ideas could be useful incase it happens again...

Nope. Nothing of the sort. And I can't move anything to the SD anyway as it's all internal storage. Thanks for the idea though.

ah never tried moving an app to sd on hox, assumed it would be the same as we still have an \sdcard directory.
i'll be back if i can think of anything else

Original JB 4.1 and HOX green pictures?

Hey all,
i have a little problem since the world wide update for 4.1 JB - when i take pictures the flash causes the picture to become green! i know its a problem with Custom roms but mine is an original update from the server. the pictures looks like it was taken at the Matrix..haha
well its nice for effects but for real its annoying...how do i get rid of it??
BTW uploaded a pic when i tried to snap shot the cover for a friend of mine
thank you!
Another one confirming same problem as i have, and i have seen people with HOX+ also having this.
Problem seemse to be KERNEL related. ICS works great on my phone with flash but when i load any version of JB Sense i get greenish images like yours.
This is a REAL PROBLEM but apperantly no-one is noticing it besides me and some isolated users. Either people dont notice ( how can you not?) or they dont use flash that often.
I realy hope the .27 build fixes this. If i get official JB and this problem persists i realy hope HTC gets around fixing this.
Btw. this seems to be a problem with handsets all the time, small problems but still something in particular HTC have a issue with.
I can confirm this is NOT a HARDWARE issue, changing kernels fixes it so it has to do with post processing - a B/W image looks just right but with the green boosted up way to much.
Try change sarturation to max/min aswell as iso 100/800.
tnx for your answer!
its obviously not HARDWARE problem, because the regular pics goes perfect!
i tried it all - non worked its still the same...
i guess ill be waiting for a new update to come or maybe go rogue and install an unofficial ROM...
the same Something with software.
thats not fun \=
well i have posted a new question for help on HTC main Facebook page, and showed them this thread i hope we all get final answers for that itchy bug :cyclops:
Same problem
I have the same problem with stock JB...
It's software and to do with the flash bleeding, on SLR you get a florescent filter but try this.
Go take picture again this time press the cog and go to white balance, change that from auto to florescent.
Let me know if that works, I can't get mine to do it to test.
