Diamond Camera Issue! Please Help - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi Guys,
My apologies if this has been posted already, but I couldn’t seem to find anything on it.....I have had my Diamond for about 2 weeks and the camera hardly ever works. 90% of the time when i start it all i get is the Photo logo and then a blank screen. If i push the capture button, a few seconds later I get the error "Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from camera device". I have done the latest HTC official update to ROM 1.93, I have soft reset and hard reset and no luck Sometimes if I do a soft reset it will work for a little bit and then just stop working again.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
Grim

you may need to install one of x-dev custom ROMs, or try hard reseting your diamond. if the problem still exist after Hard Reset, probably it is hardware trouble.
read read and read before you install Cooked roms from xda-developers. you need to do HardSPL before instaling any other ROMs

Thanks for the response!
I have hard reset the device a few times, and no luck. I dont reallt want to install a cooked ROM, I dont think I can handle it to be honest. I will take it that it is a Hardware fault and I will be sending it back tmrw. Thanks again!

Hi Grim! I have the same problem. I've installed 1.93 official ROM and even SwiftBl 7.5, I've upgraded my Radio From .05 to .08 , but my camera is still like yours.
Have you find a solution? Did HTC service Center change your device?
Thanks..

İ have the same problem and could not find a solution for it...

Dear All,
I have same problem. Camera crashes after 1 or two photo. I have black screen.
Tried many Rom's. no fix .
How could you fix ?

anyone got a solution for this problem?

is the diamond camera hopless?
no solution for this error till now?

This issue realy bugs me now. Every time I've change the OS it work for a bit then it dies. realy anoying. Anyones suggestion may be usefull.
If it is the hardware - is it the camera? Could it be just gone loose?

There´s few steps to take.
If camera works sometimes, I think, it´s not a camera problem on itself.
(IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO PARTS AND YOU KNOW WHAT U`RE DOING)
Try this:
Exchange flex and flash (use official RUU htc).
Or:
Put phone inbootloader, disconnect flex from board (while working and booloader on) and flash.
If everything else fails, I´m affraid the PCB has internal flash IC problems.

Dont have parts but will open it and check flex. If flash is gone how come mtty does not flag some segments as bad. Checking around the web looks like I am not the only one with this problem.

all you Coders... please help us with the camera issue.
Hey guys..
this camera for touch diamond is screwing..
tried various methods.. flashed everything possible..
still no luck..
if any xda user outthere.. who has the solution for this problem..
please help up..
my device is out of warranty..
thanks

I've found out if you take the battery out for 10 secs and put it back the camera works again untill you run another app. It feels like as soon as you run something else with camera it is screwed!

Hi Msa!
Going back to your question...have you already tried a soft reset? Have you maybe installed any apps recently? you might want to uninstall those apps which could cause the fault....maybe you upgraded your ROM/Radio recently?? Try a fresh install if your problem persists..
Please tell us a little bit more....be more specific.....
Good luck mate
Kind regards
Jeroen
If none of that works (soft reset etc) you might have to do a hard reset and lose everything.
What have you done on it recently?
At what point does the black screen come on? Do you get rom info etc at the beginning?
I had the same problem
I had the same problem, I sent my phone to htc they replaced my mother board and sub board.
I think It's a well known problem and htc knows but will not recall.
Tal
if ur gonna send it back, make sure u have restored the original ROM and SPL.
Thanks Guyzs,,
All I have done is, I downloaded the latest ROm from the HTC website and the phone worked good, suddenly the screen turned black
I have tried everything to do rest (soft n hard) but the problem it when I turn on the device I cant see anything ALL BLACK, not even the first screen and when i tried to connected to the PC I couldnt run the hard reset as well cuz it says he HTC is not connected
???
Best Regrds
black screen no response
I had same problem a few times,what you have to do is take the battery out of the phone for a few seconds,and then replace it.You should be able to switch it on and it should reboot up,at least mine does.Im thinking about having it replaced,because it has goes dead with a black screen a few times and nothing works till i do the above action
ok
Thanks,
I have done that as well,, nothing works :S
thats is so baad
Is your battery fully charged..?
I encountered this once and after leaving the phone on charge for say 30 minutes, everything was back to normal. Sice you say you have upgraded ROM and all, maybe your battery is completely drained.
Hope it helps.
hey,
yea it could be from the battery
Important !!!

i tried installing a few roms and even the original one from htc website
i would appreciate any help you can give me
Very strange. What SPL version doyou have? Have you used cooked roms? Anything else happend to the phone?
HTC trinity original ROM
Here is the original HTC Trinity ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/202845245/Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.5_6275_1.20.00.11_12201_Ship.zip
1. Press on/off button + camera button + reset (using the stylus)
2. You should now be in tricolor screen.
3. Connect the usb cable.
4. Make sure you have activesync runing.
5. Install the rom provided in the link.
In the link you will find rom+radio. (Radio version 1.20)
Here is a newer radio version 1.56:
Hey! My trinity have the same problem!!!
I habe all test: Without sim, without SD, with SD, with SIM (with SIM screen is grey)
What have you done?
Original ROM - same problem
Mine was doing this earlier
seemed that their was dirt stuck in the reset button hole causing it to stick in slightly
I got this problem too. My trinity would turn on and start to fade away. But mine was a liltle more artistic. Many times i saw a kinda round spot in the middle of the screen that become black, then half of the screen would black out and then the rest of the screen. Sometimes i even got colors.
I noticed if a had a fully charged battery the phone would work perfectly.
But most of the time it turn on, but the screen stayed black with the retro light on.
I was told to try the unbrick exploit.
me too !!! i have the same problem with my htc 3600 ? can someone help us to fix our htc's 3600 ?thanks in advance....
have you fix it ?
hi all
I have a small problem with my htc p3600. It's not starting. It's loading only the bios but it's freezing with the screen picture and is not loading the WM 5.0 I try to change the WM5.0 with a new one but I don't have a active sync. connection.Please help
has anyone found a solution to this problem ?
anyone have a solution?
Finally, what you should do?
Since the Trinity / P3600 is getting old now, I believe more and more people are going to face this strange problem sooner or later.
So I thought I should save your time and tell you what you should do when your trinity starts behaving like what was described at the beginning of this thread.
YOU SHOULD DO NOTHING !!
THERE IS NO QUICK FIX
THERE IS NO WORKAROUND
THERE IS NO CHEAP SOLUTION
I have searched and tried everything mentioned in this forum that might slightly be related to the problem and all solutions failed.
So after days and days of experimenting, I gave up and sent my device to HTC dealer who called me few days later to tell me that the mother board needs to be replaced.
The dealer told me the cost will be around $213, but they said they are going to sent it back as it is, because they don't have that board model anymore!!.
Even if they had, for an old device like this , I don't think it worth that mush money to fix.

Hello,
I resolve the problem with this : Simultnous press Power and Camera buttons and softreset, you'll got bootloader, three colors mode. Perhaps a little error message like this WLAN error but if you plug usb, it's ok.
Hope this good for you (excuse my poor english)
I've had this same problem for about a year now and keep coming back to it.
Any forward momentum on solving the problem would be appreciated as I quite like this phone.
1. The phone will boot FINE without a SIM
2. It hangs like in the video (or other strange screens) as soon as I insert a SIM card (partially or fully)
3. I've tried 3 different SIM cards
4. I have no SD cards
5. I have installed 3.20.Olipro
6. An official ROM is re-installed
I must admit the phone has had a hard life (or is it just the cheap plastic coatings HTC use)
No sooner did I post this did I find a solution.
For anyone that is interested...I have managed to re-install the original HTC ROM but HAVE NOT managed to install a workable 6.5 ROM yet.
So, the answer I found was:
1. Put P3600i into bootloader mode (push camera+power+reset buttons for 2 secs and get triple colour screen)
2. Re-flash HardSPL 1.1 from my PC
3. Re-flash original HTC ROM (WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108) by agian putting P3600i into bootloader mode first
I since tried several different radio stacks but haven't noticed any difference in reception so have left the original stack on (1.46.30.11) as it gives the best phone call quality
I love the UI of the latest WM6.5 but if the P3600i doesn't run them properly I'll just have to do without.
Good luck with your own unbricking.
it was working fine for me when i put a little piece of rubber between the processor and the metallic cover of it but after 3 months i have the same problem and the paper dont work anymore.... now when i press the power button the screen is black, only the backlight is working anyone have any ideas what to do?
OMG WTF, as soon as I saw this thread I switched my HTC P3600 on and it started doing it I reckon this is cursed, I will upload a video onto Youtube later and show you that is what happened.
I had this problem myself, didnt know what i was doing wrong, altho my tri color screen did this, not the boot one.
I removed memorycard and voila, everything went smoothly.

sorry 4 my mistake

[Q] Does the camera still work ?

Hello all,
This morning i tried my camera on my diamond, but when i launch the camera app, it gives me black screen. That's so weird. I reinstalled the rom, did hard reset, but get same result. So i want know if that is software issue or hardware issue. If it's a hardware issue, will the camera app launches or not ? Thank's !
So i installed new rom, and when i try to take a picture with camera, it says this "Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from camera device"
What does this mean ? Please help !
Have you tried modifying the option "Encode photos in portait mode" in Advanced config? It causes problems.
If it isn't that, I guess it is a hardware fault. Restore original ROM and send it to repair.
I ain't advanced config...I searched in google after getting the error messae above, i found many people with this issue, some solved it by installing original rom or diff ones. I tried that, but same result, that's weird. Also i can't send it to repair because i ain't guarantee anymore :S
Up..is there anyone ?
Not very helpful, but do you get LESS than a year warranty on yout location?
Have you tried switching between the rear and front camera?
I bought this phone from somebody, and the guarantee is dead at the moment. the camera worked fine for 2 weeks, now i don't know what happen.
@colossuss : Already did it, but got same thing, a black screen
Another up...
I had the same problem. Hard resets and reflashing did not help, luckily I had warranty left. My impression of this phone so far (both my own and from forums) is VERY bad and this is the last time I buy from HTC.
Pff sound sucks, camera is ****ed up...i'll not buy from htc anymore too.

Very Frustrating Problem - Please help me!!

Hey everyone,
My problems consists of:
- The screen/touch is off. I've done Screen Alignment, it works for a couple hours or so then it just starts to have a mind of its own again
- When I slide the keyboard out, the screen does not rotate, it's just frozen in portrait mode. However, responds to the keys I push on the keyboard, I've tested it by texting someone.
The ROM I was using was a Generic NAM R3A WM6.1 when this problem occured, tried to re-flash with the same ROM, no luck and finally a custom one (Touch X 10.8) and unfortunately, still no luck.
I've never dropped the phone or done any modifications to it. Am I doomed and will have to send the phone in for repairs or is there another way to fix all this?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd have it back in the shop in no time. But you will need to put back the original rom, otherwise your guarantee will be gone.
Good luck!
Don't forget to revert the SPL since you flashed it to hard SPL.
If You make a new topic then it's pointless to use not at all informative cries for help. It does not say anything about the problem you are having.
The title should say something about the issue so people who know something about notice it and can offer to help and people having the same issue later can find this topic.
Sorry, I'm new to this message board and not really around either.

Phone freezes

Hi,
My xperia x1 is freezing. When i slide out and touch the (i dont know how to say) 'mouse' (the black square button in front), the screen blinks and flickers... and then the screen give more light and freezes.. i cant do nothing then. I must take the battery out to get it working again. And sometimes it freezes it self.. i dont know why or how..
Can you guys help me with this.
(I hope i made myself clear , sorry for my bad english)
I searched the forum for a solution for this, button with no results.. google wont help to.
Soft-Hard Reset wont help.
I have the latest official rom update from SE Update Service.
i think this happened after i got the latest update, but with the previous update i had problems with slowness, and that i get sms but cant read, that is solved with the new update. But now i got this freezing thing.
Well, if a hard reset hasn't helped then it's a hardware problem. You will have to send it/take it for repairs...
Is there no other solution, are there no more users that accured this problem.
Because i wanted to send my phone, but they ask for the contract, but i dont have that
Go to another repair shop...
