Please help.. Cannot access my dell streak camera app. It says cannot connect to camera. What should I do.. Desperately needs advise.
What rom are you on?
It might be fixable by going to the camera app properties and clearing it's data.
If that doesnt work, you could try the more drastic step of doing a fac reset.
I had faced this issue when I tweaked build.prop for addressing compatibility issues in play store. Edited back to original values to solve the problem.
Not sure this is the case with you?

Stop posting the same kind of issues. I already have a thread same like this one. It makes the moderators delete same concerns. And I believe people here are just pretenders. No one seem to know what the fix for this problem is. They dont know a thing. So its useless asking these guys for help when all they teach you are basic junk troubleshooting steps. Unhelpful!

tbh.. we cant really help you because the phone itself is physically not at us... so.. what we told here is pretty much what we have encounter and solved... also not all problem can be solved here... sometimes the device really need to be sent to the phone specialist.. and not here... so right now the most effective way is to sent the phone to the shop that know streak 5...
The best way is flash stock 407 olleh, flash dsc, flash longhorn, and cm7. If you still cannot connect to camera then you can sure that it hardware issue not the rom. Those above rom has camera working very well.

Thanks Bro. Thats what I am talking about. I've done 407, dsc, longhorn and cm7 and back now to dsc. I think I will then conclude this is a HW problem. Some say it may be a Flex issue.
Once you flash a new rom, it's 100% a HW problem and not software.
I think I know whats wrong with my camera.. When I read my logcat it says there's no preview frame layout. Please help where will I get it?

I'm new to the whole rooting scene but I used to jailbreak and upgrade ipods and stuff like that. I had an videos u8150 before this and it worked great roms and all. I have cm7 on this vibrant but I wanted to know is there either a way to get the stock vibrant camera flashed on cm7 cause I hate this one, or a stock 2.3.x rom with the old can like in 2.1 in the original firmware. Sorry if I post in the wrong spot I just need help asap. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

Common request.
Sorry, no, it cannot be done.
Ok thanks and sorry I'm still new here any roms with the old camera or any way to tether on 2.1? Really that's the reason I upgraded
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
give it some time. you might find that the camera app is actually more functional.
Short answer is Yes there are other camera flashes you can put on the phone, you will have to do the research I do not remember which are the best. There are some Of the Market that will flash over the CM7 Camera as well
This is being moved to Q & A...... next time if it is a questions please put in Q&A
Ok thank your for the answer and sorry will do next time I was just in a hurry for now I restored back to stock because I love cm7 but the only reason I wanted to upgrade was for tethering and when the camera changed it kind of dissapointed me. Ill ask in Q and A next time. Also is there any way to maybe rip the cam out of the cm7 zip so I can reflash and keep the old cam? Like I said im new to all of this. Thanks for the help again!

(Mods: Don't know how you want to put this into something but I think reading through Rom threads this will solve lots of poeples problems)
If you are installing Roms and having problems most others are not. FC/ reboots, just odd things not working that others have working.
Try using Dell Factory Reset (on the white Screen) instead of Streakmod or clockwork mod.
I found this while installing gingerstreak I was having problems many were not, till I came across one last option on another thread. Boom All my odd probems were fixed.
*edit*
Rom Developers: as a habbit, for install instructions you should specify to do this. Might save you a ton of time trying to chase down non-existent problems from people
Oh, c'mon...

Look through all the rom threads...why else would some people have 2 identical phones, install the same roms, and one FCs? no service etc?
I had always just been using streakmod factory reset...I installed ginger streak 2.4.4 and my Phone app was FC..my SimCard would detect, I had no service.
It was truely odd. and no not EVERYONE knows to use the Dell Factory reset.
Fac resetting with the top menu has been stated hundreds of times.
There has not been one instance where someone said they used the streakmod one and not got corrected about it.
It's like people asking why superoneclick or gingerbreak doesnt work on the newest roms, they didnt look very hard/at all since those too are covered dozens of times.
To be fair to the OP it doesn't actually state "DELL factory reset" in the Gingerstreak 2.4.4 Release Post
However it does come up numerous times in the rest of the thread......
Hi all,
I've a "little" problem with my touch screen, it doesn't work ( doesn't react but displays well) , but i said little because just one part isn't working (approximately from 200 px to 430 on the Y axis).
The problem seems to be hardware caused, i've tried to install an other ROM ( the problem appeared while using CM7 and i tried with CM9 ROM without success).
Someone else already experienced this issue ? Could this be caused because of a ROM or software (i havent overclocked my device, it rarely fell to the ground and the screen isn't broken....), Could he be repaired?
Thank in advance ans i'm sorry for my bad English ,
Batlac.

This is a well known issue and is most likely caused by the digitizer. You'll most likely need to replace it, unfortunately. They go for at least $45 on eBay.
The only alternative is the PDS fix, which didn't work for me. I can't give you links as I don't have enough posts, but I've found what I needed on this site (and youtube for the digitizer replacement video) simply using search.
Thanks , The PDS fix isn't working for me too, I'll try to repair manually my phone :-\

The first think to do is read all the sticky posts on Streak 5 Android Development thread, next you choose the rom and read the instructions. Every rom has there on instructions. I use MIUI 2.4.20 for about 1 month with no major problems.

On my Dell Axim 51v, flashing ROMs was a completely simple matter; no special 'root' access needed, you just load the ROM onto the SD card then boot to recovery and flash it, done. I loved Windows Mobile for that.
On the Android platform it's a nightmare of complicated steps dependent on other steps, including the installation of various different programs on your Streak and your PC. I hate Android for that.
If you have a stock recovery, it's the same steps: you put the pkg on the root of the sd card and boot into recovery and flash it.
No special 'root' access needed.

longhorn 2.9.1 is awsome rom for me and has better battery life den other longhorn versions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355878
Mods please move this if necessary
Guys, I have to post this in hopes it will help others.
If you still have this device and had the problem where it reboots once it boots and have no imei and baseband, i solved it. finally!
I tried everything, EVERYTHING initially. i opened the device more times than i can remember. I changed the power button, gave it a chemical bath, removed the sim holder, adjusted every adjustable aspect of it but nothing. this started when i flashed some rom (cant remember which one), and it started rebooting as soon as the os loaded. not a random reboot but as soon as the os loaded, no matter what rom i flashed. thats when i tried all of the posted solutions on the power button issues of this phone. nothing worked. Then when i finally got a stock odin to work, i noticed i had baseband unknown and imei unknown and therefore no sim functions. i began researching and i did everything from flashing every available modem, to flashing all stock roms with odin and with keis, to that trick of forcing an iemi and adding some folder that may have been deleted. i even looked to order the sim holder that people recommended but i never bothered (thankfully) as many said it didnt work. I eventually was advised that my ONLY solution was to jtag it. i almost ordered devices like nspro etc, but alas, i gave up finally and just used it as a tablet with a rudimentary os (the only one that didnt reboot on me ) with abysmal battery life (3 to 4 hours on standby) until i finally left it in a drawer and forgot it for most of the year. Fast forward to yesterday. ill spare the details of why i had to, but basically i took back the challenge to get it working, believing that it was a software problem that i could solve with the help of xda's resources. and after a sleepless night and much research and trials, i finally have a fully working i717 with insane battery life (2% lost on standby overnight). so here's what i did. I used odin to flash this rom (email me for the link, i dont want to break any forum rules) and once it was done, the os began to boot but it stuck on the loading screen. this was actually good news since it wasnt rebooting! i left it for an hour just in case and eventually forced the shut down by holding power button (didnt remove the battery). then i booted into download and used odin to flash cwm recovery (latest one, search for an app to convert the img file to a md5 that odin can use). i booted into recovery and once there i downloaded the miui v5 rom in the development section of this forum, (i chose miui because initially it was the only other rom that didnt reboot, but i SUSPECT that the others should be fine now once i flashed the odin rom) and once it installed and booted, voila! cell reception and i can make and receive calls!. Everything is working perfectly now!! thank God. I left it on miui because i like it and it works as is, but i suppose the other roms like the 4.4 roms should, in theory, work now. in the link i have there is the rom AND a modem as well, i did NOT flash the modem as i didnt need to so you shouldnt have to either. Thanks for reading, and i sincerely hope that i could help someone out with this post. thanks to xda and the contributors who helped me through this ordeal!
Sincerely,
My phone rebooted 3 times while trying to read this. I wasn't sure if you were actually offering help or trying to sell us some new sports bra.

No need to be rude mate. And its not an 'egg hunt' if you read it you would see that i didnt want to break any forum rules by posting links without permission since i cant contact the owner of the site with the links.
