Hello, fellow xda users, I would like to tell you this strange problem that I have.
Camera not available.
Please help with this. It started when the camera jams up. A soft reboot doesn't solve the problem. This is a nice device, but without the camera it's quite not ad useful as before
So please kindly help. Thanks

Use 3rd party camera app. Better than Sony's. Check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481316
Seems that your solution worked. But the best camera app, the FV-5 is the Only one that offers ISO settings. The worst thing is, you have to pay for that and the free version is only able to take a tiny 0.3MP pics. For now, I think the free 'a better camera' is my best option. Only that it seems to be geared for point and shoot users... Well, I need ISO settings and these aps just give you better colurs. They never give sharper image or less noisier image. I think I need to stay with this app till I get the real fix, or buying FV-5, which I doubt is going to worth the time and cash compared to the original camera app.
Seems that it worked right after I posted that post. Still trying to look for answer on what happened though.

Reset would probably fix it. Did you restore anything after upgrading?

The vibrant is basically just the I9000 (form factor wise anyways).
The mounting stuff was not taken out, just the camera itself, so our hack to get the FFC working is just to snap it in & install a new kernel that supports it.
The I9000 didn't have a flash, so it's not that easy for the vibrant. It doesn't have anything to mount it to or anywhere to plug it in at all.
So, if it's possible, it would probably be a significant hack to accomplish.
Thanks Dude. I figured that if it could be done it wuld have already been done. Oh well I wait till August and get whatever is out then.

I've been working on a custom mod of mine own with 3 led on my back plate and cover everything with a external another back cover. I'm almost done with the project.

That is the kind of arrogance that makes me glad of the types that left. Yes theres a FAQ, and yes, there are a few that wont read it. Honestly, the FAQ (at least in the vibrant forum) is a frakin mile long! I can easily see how someone may miss it. Informative yes, but give people a break! Not to mention the breakup into 4 separate sub-forums ect ect, its easy for someone new or doesnt come often to not find their way around well.
Been going on for years, and will persist after you leave.
It's not a completely stupid or worthless question because I see it as do-able. I'm no dev...nor have I worked with the hardware on this phone, but I have thought about integrating a luminous LED as part of the flash. I think it could be as simple as finding th current that turns the camera lens on and integrating the LED power into it. Even if it doesn't 'Flash'...it's still a 'flash' equivalent lighting setting.
The FFC was do-able...I think someone can make a suitable flash for our camera.
Makes me want to work on it myself...
I spent a good 10-15 minutes in the camera app trying to figure out how to turn on flash before I realized the phone didnt have a flash on it! What a surprise damn you samsung!

course a flash would be lovely.but realistically the request to some how install a flash even when no original i9000 variant have a flash built into the unit to simply snap in is ridiculous. lollll
Don't be so quick to judge, I myself have wondered what if this phone had a flash. Honestly, it'd be friggin sweet! That goes without saying.
@Haxel: Awesome points, great attitude!
@p unit: I'm intrigued by your project, have you thought about somehow incorporating an LED flash into an extended battery back plate? More battery life, and maybe since the cover is bigger, you might have more room to work with on fitting a flash in.
good luck!

They are talking about a physical flash a light. not the light software program.
I thought it was a great question since the Fascinate has one. I don't see why having a moderator approve your question would be necessary, since none of the questions would ever get posted since they are questions that are usually way below their intelligence level. Let's be honest here, we as junior members look to developers, kangers and such for advice, guidance, and help. Having an attitude toward the people that look up to you for your knowledge, is pompous, arrogant, and simple minded. If you think there are too many questions, then don't read the posts (you should know what it's about by the title anyway). If you don't have anything to contribute other than a bad attitude, then don't respond and the rest of us will learn the hard way. You guys who don't want to read our questions weren't born with the knowledge you have, so don't assume that just because someone has a question, doesn't mean they haven't tried. Give some of us the benefit of the doubt. We don't all have our faces crushed into a computer screen all day you know........

I have seen an external clip-on type of flash light that you can clip it on your phone and take picture in the dark. I forget which website I saw it. However, it is still in production and not yet available until probably mid or end of this year, so just keep your eyes open.

I have been looking for a mini usb led light
One of the Dev's on here pointed me in this direction. Been testing program after program and all seem to use the mic to record the other side of the call. In other words, I have to use the speakerphone for it to work. Does anyone have a solution that will work on EVO 4G?
I was recently using a Collective Rom that had a built in call recorder app. I didn't need to use the speakerphone, and it recorded very well. I'm using a MT4G though...
I believe it was called Collective Absolution. It was ported onto my phone though so look around, maybe they have it for yours. Check and see the Collective roms for your phone. I remember I installed it through the Collective phone settings(their version of the CM9 settings).
Hope I helped.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I've read a few downer threads that talk about HTC phones having problems with this type of application. I don't know if it's still the same now but several threads indicated that HTC doesn't allow their API CPU talk to the Modem CPU (I think that's how it was put...I may be wrong). Anyway...I don't know. I've also seen some people report that the capability was built into some ROM's out there. If what I read was correct, I don't think any particular ROM will be able to solve the issue because of the type of phone I have. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Hmm I'm not sure. From my experience the main problem, at least on my phone, was always that the recording didn't always record both sides. Some people's phones recorded everything perfectly as they spoke, but some others had a problem where it would only record one side of the conversation, either them speaking or the other person but not both. I don't remember any of the technical problems about why that was the case though, this was a few months back.
I'll see if I can extract the apk that rom installed for me and post it here for you. I'm not sure if it's going to install and work immediately on your phone or if you'll have to do something with it to get it working, but it's worth a shot.
Update: Here's the link to the apk.

Give it a shot and let me know if it worked. You'll need root btw, I've just been assuming you were rooted since you're in this forum.

Yep...I have root. I downloaded the APK and installed it. I will test it today to see how it works and report back. Thanks for the time in helping me out. It means a great deal!
Nope. Didn't pick up the other side if the conversation. I could only hear myself talking. Very frustrating. You would think this wouldn't be a big deal to do. Any other suggestions?

Sorry dude, I'm all out of ideas. As far as I can tell some phones seem to be able to do it and others can't. If anything you can always take that apk I gave you and post it in your phone's forum and see if it works for anyone else there. Maybe someone there can find some way to make it work for you.
Hope it works out for you.

So, my previous phone was a HTC Rezound, and the camera was better good, but the software sucked. Somebody who was good with cameras did tests and found good setting for the hardware, and it made a world of difference. Anybody here really good with cameras and would like to do the same? I would, but I really don't know anything about advanced settings. Here's a LINK to the thread if anybody would like to take a look at it. :good:

Hello All
I am new here.. and too about samsung.
I bought an used i777 and I am happy whit it. but the problem is a noise when use the camera, like it video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toDlY8Txb4M
So I like to know if I can fix it, replace the camera or what I need to do?
I am on honduras and my english is to bad.
thanks
Hello all.
no body had this problema? Camera read noise?
There is already a thread with this same issue, it stems from the autofocus mechanism in the lens I think. You should be able to purchase a new camera and replace it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

It seems that you've found the thread, as I've seen that you posted in it. Remember to search first before you post, because 90% of the time someone has had the same problem you have.
I'm getting a lot of insufficient storage messages when trying to download new apps or update old ones. I've tried formatting, reinstalling the ROM, clearing data/cache, clearing market data/cache, and still nothing. I'm also unable to move my apps to SD card, the app I use gives me an error saying that the phone doesn't support it. Any ideas?
Are you rooted? Which app are you using to move apps?
like iampro said, are you rooted? what rom are you on? what app are you using to move your apps to the sd card? apps2sd doesn't work from what i understand, but foldermount does i think.
Yes I'm rooted, running liquid Rom. I've tried numerous app 2ad apps that I was able to install. I was unable to try foldermount because I can't install it.

I am having the same issue but no one will answer on these forums... I found out that a while ago. Trying to find a solution gonna ask Virus on my infectedrom.com account as they always answer your questions. Seem to get left in the wind over here. Not sure I should have went Samsung if I would have known this. If I find a solution will post back. Try Busy Box. I couldn't install that either but can install other apps.

I totally understand where your coming from, but look at the forums for this problem. It's everywhere with basically no answers. Seems like it would be more fitting to at least reply to a thread asking a question or else pretty much looks like no one cares... see my point? I haven't cluttered up any posts but if you look at the date they were having this problem and today's date seems like there would at least be some sort of response. If you asked a question and no one replied what would u think? you would rather have that then someone actually reply and try to help if they could or at least try and point you in the right direction? I am not trying to insult anyone as the devs work really hard at making roms and mods and so on. I am also a dev(only done wake up mods and small flash fixes, not claiming to be the best or anywhere near that by anymeans lol) haven't filled out the app but I have tried to look at it myself as well.That being said I would rather have a response than nothing at all. As I work mad hours doing IT/Programming. And no response just looks like no one cares not saying it is true just my personal opinion.
Sorry to offend you as that was not my intent. I try and help anyone I can as well. Just have more experience with HTC.
