Hi guys,
I decided to upgrade my phone the other night, for no other reason then I like to fiddle and see what I can do with things =). WM5 worked fine, but I wanted to check out what WM6 had to offer.
So I download the official upgrade from the HTC member area ( http://www.dopodasia.com/Dopod_Aus ) and install as directed.
Everything went great, and I am pretty happy with WM6.
But after the upgrade, trying to start the camera brings up a dialog box with the error message "Unable to start camera. Unable to initialize Camera". This occurs if I hit the shortcut or run the .exe from explorer.
I downloaded the camera software but trying to overwrite the installed files using activesync yeilds an "unable to overwrite because files are write-protected" error, and attempting to write-enable the files is disallowed (the file just reverts back to write-protected, frustratingly).
I've searched these forums and others, and I can't find any answers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem when I pass from WM5 to WM6 because I try to restore a backup from my old ROM over my new ROM, thing that is impossible that works well due to registry and file incompatibilities.
I don't know if it's your case or not...

The key thing is that reflashing to a known-good ROM doesn't fix it. What about in your case?

Hrmm.. I haven't tried yet, still looking for some sort of workaround or a software solution.
I'll try another OS tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
I also have this error, but...
...occasionally, it works when I do the following:
- Cold boot the device (no soft reset)
- Start the camera, but the screen will display noise
- Close the camera
- Start it again
- Second time, it will operate as expected
But funny enough, this trick doesn't work all the time...
I have friends and collegues that also upgraded and they don't experience this problem at all...
Same thing here... I bought 4 att 8525 units at ebay. they already came with wm6 3.57 from cingular.
3 units are working with no problems, but the camera stopped working in one of the phones.
I've tried everything (I think) , soft reset, hard reset, rom upgrade/downgrade.
A little of history ... so maybe some guru out there figures out what the f.. is going on:
1) The camera used to work fine.
2) Suddenly it began to fail saving pictures to the SC (sandisk 2gb) . All the phones have the same card.
If you choose to save to main memory, it worked.
3) The same day, the message "unable to initialize camera" started to show everytime I tried to start the camera application (4.0).
4) I tought it may be a failure SC, so I removed the SC, reset the phone but nothing changed.
5) Incredibly.... after then phone been turned off for a while... when I turned it on, the camera worked. Took a few pics... and the same error again!
6) Soft reset, hard reset.... nothing...
7) Updated SPL, radio and Rom (schaps 3.57) and the camera did work again!!!!! (with the SC in) .... after a few hours (no applications or skin applied) the error came back.
8) repeated those steps..... but no luck this time....
9) removed sim, sc and repeat steps.... no luck...
10 ) now, it is not working.... I tried coolcamera... but it does not start... tried camera 4.11... nothing... I went through the registry comparing with the other phones... everything is correct.
11) now I am thinking it is hw problem... but how is it possible that it works from time to time??????
Well... I almost gave up looking for a solution.... any idea would be great!
(what is a cold reset? )
thanks

Good news!!...
I just downloaded this cab that says it corrects SC bad management.
After installing the cab... turning off/on the phone... the camera works!!
(I don't know for how long it will work... but at least it is alive! )
Good luck and please share your experience with this cab !!
fabian
I can't believe it.... it worked for 2 hours... I did nothing with the phone... when I got the phone to send a sms, I tried again the camera... and it did not work!!!!!
(((
this is really weird!!
Well... this seems more like a "blog" than a forum .
Yesterday night I try removing the battery for 15 minutes. Then I turned on the phone and the camera started working.
I was really pesimist about the time it will keep working well... so I took pictures , recorded video, store them into main memory, into SC .. I really messed up with the camera ... everything worked well... tryed also Coolcamera application and took picture at maximum resolution (1600x1200 I think) .. everything Ok.
The camera is still working today... I did soft reset and it is still working... I'm trying step by step every action... synchronize.. wi-fi... phone... sms.. mms.. etc etc...and the camera still working...
I wonder how long will this work.. and what the hell does taking away the battery ???? Does it clean something in the ram ?
Any answer???
fabain
damn
I was really hopeful of this cab...
installed it and nada...
trying the battery trick (again) with this new cab installed to see maybe well just maybe...
fingers crossed

Hey ya all,
Did a ROM upgrade
Schaps Pro New Very excellent to state the least!
Did a re-store (double dump move!)
Used SK Tools to re-store old backup of entire system (that was the double dumb move not the using the the fantastic SK Tools app!
Camera worked as well as a 2pixel can, but now get "Unable to start Camera not enough storage is available blah blah
So I did a search found a cab to a Kaiser link to rabidshare and tried to download 6 in a couple of days NO go on that,
http://rapidshare.com/files/97924716/Nadavi_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00_NEW_HTC_FIX.cab
Rabidshare doesn't finish download most every time I try on PC or phone!
Can anyone provide another link to download form please please!
So I tried another cab on this forum ArtemisSDeng and no go with soft rest.
Took battery and micro card out, 15 minutes (what-ever) no go on that either. . .
Have
Storage FREE 32.96 MB
Programs free 27.81 MB
So NOW what can I do besides buy a new Tynt and not restore old system restore over a NEW ROM?
Much help please?
where are updated cameras anyway?
I am currently running version 3.0 build 25498 HTC Camera on my Wizard with WM6 (NBD v9.2) ROM. Where can I find updated camera files. I tried a ROM once that had version 3.3 on it and it seemed to work better but I haven't found any standalone copies of the camera programs.
Anyone?
Can I use this cab for my HTC TYTN II (Kaiser) or its ony for Artemis ?
Hope this helps,
The reason that my camera messed up after installing a new ROM, is that I re-stored my device with a whole system restore!
This covered over the new upgraded settings found in the NEW ROM with old settings/ configuration !
SO I reinstalled the OLD ATT ROM (yuk) and BINGO camera works as it did before the undated ROM!
Now I going to reinstall the NEW cooked ROM, without the restore system and just hand install all my 6 apps, so I don't mess up the updated camera settings!
Maybe next week hopefully!
Hope that helps someone, so they can run a cooked ROM without messing up their camera!
Later!
madefree, you can restore all the old setup of your phone with SPB Backup ver2. It has an upgrade rom mode that doesn't alter the os at all but puts things back as they were on your old os. Today screen how you like it, any apps you've installed(fully regged). The only thing I've found was that for some roms I had to re-install the .net framework 3.5 as it DOESN'T alter the OS files. Well worth the money..
Cheers...
Thanks much ultramag69 for that info on the v2, as I was doing a flash on LVSW Edition ROM in about 20 minutes, so maybe dnload SPB Backup v2 and give it a try!
I just wish Sktools did that same type install, since I already bought that app!
Again thanks!

As topic states Im having trouble with a program called Navizon. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times, including removing all registry entried for navizon. each time it installs fine, however when I go to start the program I get this:
Navizon.exe - Native Exception
A Native Exception Occurred.
ExceptionCode: 0x80000002
ExceptionAddress: 0x00e28328
OK to terminate
CANCEL to debug
hitting cancel and ok both boot me back to programs list
I have a post on navizons tech support forum, and there have been two people with advantages who have successfully installed and ran the program...as far as I can tell the only difference is our roms. Of course im running the greatest ever, AP Dual Black 3.0 rom. Do you guys have any advice as to what could be causing my error? If you want to check out my post on their tech support forum, heres the link.

just an update, did a hard reset, and installed Navizon works great, had to be a scummy program conflicting
I am running Vegen 5.1, I did the market fix, Everything was working fine.
I tried to buy bejeweled, and for some reason it would not download, It kept saying the download is starting, and it would show the downloading arrow in the notifications for about 3 seconds, then disappear, and nothing downloads.
Now I have tried to download different apps, and nothing will download?
I have ran thru the market fix steps 2 times again now, and that does not work.
Please can someone help me?
Common issue tonight....dont panic. I am guessing it relates to Googles conference Wednesday. Perhaps they are doing something. I had the issue...rebooted and was able to download the app I couldnt previously.
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
Sounds like issue with your SD partition. You will need to repartition your internal to 2048/0. This is documented on the first post of the Vegan thread.
Well, I tried to do some stuff, and now I am stuck in bootloop.
On market Help from google, it said to go the mangae Apps Markey, and uninstall update.
So I did that.
Then I rebooted.
Then I did Market Fix steps.
Then I rebooted, now all it does is continue to boot.
Anyone? Please?
what im so lost
best actionis to install sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Ok, I did the partition.
Now it boots back up, however everything looks like I just did a factoy reset, and things still don't download.
Where do I find sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Market is having issues for ever device, including market supported phones...randomly tonight. Possible cause = Google conference tomorrow and possible market enhancements being announced.
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
I see, so I created a bunch of work for myself in the name of learning.
I bascially just started ever with the reinstalling of the rom.
On the plus side, when you learn the most is when things go wrong. And I feel your pain - I had to reload everything from a bootloop as well

I had the same problem last night. I got it to download by going into settings/applications/system applications and clearing the data in the download manager. I had to do it for every download. BTW It seems to be working fine this morning.
...in the same boat

Hi all,
I didn't want to start a new thread but I hope someone sees this one as the main title is not descriptive at all.
I got my new gtablet three days ago (not a woot) and have been trying different roms (TNT 4.3.1 / Vegan 5.1) with no luck in the android market. As in the first topic, I tried the fixes for the market, clearing cache, data, even re-partitioning to make sure partition was 2048 | 0, turning off firewall in my router... EVERYTHING! I can see all the applications but as soon as I click to install it keeps in "starting downloading..." and could be there for hours without downloading a single bit.
Early in this topic the speculation was a google conference taking place but... that was February! Is anybody experimenting the same (frustration, haha)? How can I identify where the problem could be?
Thanks in advanece!

I'm right there with you and have yet to find a solution. It's quite frustrating.
I've been working at this for about 2 hours now. All I want is to update my phone to Android 2.
The situation is as follows:
I have an original HTC Hero, build 1.76.405.6 etc. I'm trying to install the ROM update to 2.73.405.5. I have to install it with HTCSync. Since I'm on Windows 7, the original HTCSync that came with the phone has issues with the drivers. I've tried several ways of installing those drivers manually, and eventually resorted to using the new all-purpose HTCSync from the HTC website. The program itself works, but, now, when I'm trying to sync, that action itself does not work. If I try to install the update, the connection turns off. If I try to sync the files, it fails to access the PIM. And I already made Outlook my default program on PC, which, according to sources, should have helped the issue.
Oh, and it seems I can't download apps through the marketplace at this time anymore either. I'm not sure if this is related or not, but better safe than sorry, right?
I can't find anything else on this in the archives, so I'm asking you all for help.
Oh, and my knowledge of these kinds of phones is barely above digibetic, so, please, I beg of you, no solutions that have me crack open the entire software shell, or something like that?
Thanks in forward, Sonto
This has been bothering me lately. When I open my Instagram (using xperia ray latest Gingerbread stock ROM), and go to "Photo Maps", a dialog box appears saying "Photo Maps requires that the Google Maps Android API is installed on your device
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Google Maps and Instagram, I restarted my device too. But it doesnt solve the problem.
I tried checking /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar , I thought I lost this file but the file is there..
This is a rare problem and I only found 2 search results on Google about this problem, and both were found on XDA forum. One had his problem solved by placing this .jar file there. The other one tried placing the .jar file but no luck.
It's bothering me. Because I think it will affect other application that uses google maps. But I'm not sure. And I don't want to reinstall the whole ROM because I have partitioned my SD card, put many stuff in it, I dont want to start it all over just because of this small problem.
Thank you very much in advanced.
I am having the same problem, but it has caused me to realize that I cannot download most things that have a main function that utilises the gmaps API... I'm running a CM9 fork, though, so I expect that to be the cause. Furthermore, I tried to replace the files and gapps installation through recovery, it yields no changes. I see no new files, which is odd imo... Placing the JAR through a file manager and rebooting doesn't change anything for me either. Would love a followup because I too have seen the threads Fun is talking about but I have also seen at least a dozen on here that have gone unanswered
yes. Someone has to got to have the solution. So bump.
bump... i guess? I havent been able to fix this. Althoug a simple flash will fix this, I'm curious that we can fix this.
Still having this issue myself.
Running CM10.1 on my Galaxy SII (i9100P), although its not just with my current ROM that I'm having the issue. Tried refladhing ROMs and GAPPS but no joy. Countless data/cache wipes have done notjing to fix it. Also tried the.jar solution but did nothing.
Really annoys me that I can't find a solution.
No one any ideas on what this could be?
