Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

I have pr1.3 I dont know if that make a diffirence .
my camera doesnt take pictures !! . . . when i press the shutter it makes the autofocus but doesnt take the picture after the full press
does anyone know how to fix this ?!!? I REALY need my camera :confused::confused:

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

try a restart. remove battery the whole works
u mite also have some apps that are conflicting with the camera like fcaamera or some thing

any chance ur memory read only

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

I installed fcamera to see if it fixes the prob but it didn't .... tried restarting
and i formated the internal memory and added external mmc that is not ready only just in case and still it would just do the autofucos and when I press the shutter it doesnt take the photo !!

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Right, what you are describing sounds more like a hardware failure to me. Can you test by going back to the desktop and then pressing the camera key as though you were taking a photo - I mean to the maximum throw, don't worry about the focus press, just give it some beans. Does it launch the camera app?

If not, then there's something meaning that the maximum throw condition of the switch isn't being recognised - hardware failure most likely.

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Yeah I tried it and it launches the camera app !! and it does launch ... so what else could it be ??

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

If it is that important to you then reflash

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

I did reflash with nokia siute and didnt fix it :S !!

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Does the application close when you "take" the photo with an "Operation Failed" pop-up dialogue? Or does it simply fail to take the picture?

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Surely it's worth the time to try and diagnose the problem before reflashing, else you might just waste hours of time for nothing.

You must be a Windoze user, LTman...?

@Switch_ first of all thx for your effort on helping me :) and also the other members

now the problem is that my camera just doesnt take the picture ! the camera app doesnt crash nor shows me Operation failed ... I mean the camera is fine i can see and do autofocus and then nothing !

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Have you tried Fcamera or BlessN900? Can those take pics?

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Is there enough space to store the captured photo?
What shows the image counter (in the lower left corner)?

yeah tried them both nothing changed :( ....
If I could assign a keyboard key to take the picture it will be great

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

you could try my camera-ui2 app, it has keyboard control for taking pictures.

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

@nicolai theres plenty of space for taking Pics ... i even tried to store on an MMC didnt work either :S

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

@nicolai how can i install camera ui2 ?? am new to this :P

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

You can download it from my thread
put it in your home folder
/home/user
unpack the tar file:
tar xf camera-ui2.tar
stop the builtin cam app:
dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui
start my app:
./camera-ui2
open the lendscover to show the ui
push "c" button on the
keyboard for taking pictures.

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

nicolai i downloaded the file put it in the right directory but when am abouot to extract it the terminal says cannot open no such file or directory and tar : error is not recoverable : exiting now

what should I do ?

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Remove fcam-drivers package, reboot then try again.

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Download it to /home/user/MyDocs - the default download location.
Then, enter the following into a terminal;

And press C for capturing an image.

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

Test camera shutter button,

Easy mode: on desktop fully depress camera button with cover closed. If button is working the 'open cover' message will appear.

Hard mode: Install camera-ui2

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

@switch it worked fine ... but !! in order to make it work i need to insert the command .\camera-ui2 everytime i want the camera ?!? "
can i make a shortcut for it ??

Re: Camera wont take pictures ?!!!
 

I was just curious if it is a hardware issue with your cambutton.
It is for testing only at the moment. Wait one or two weeks until I finished
the application.
