when I open the standard camera application, I only get a black screen with the ui elemets, there is no live picture and nothing happens when I press the camera button. The menus within the app work fine.
The last time I have taken pictures was before the last CSSU update in middle of september.
- A better camera does not start at all
- Nokia panorama does hang at the welcome screen.
Maybe a reflash (using combined firmware) is in order before suspecting that the camera is actually broken.
This would be the last measure indeed. But it is a lot of trouble to reconfigure the device and applications as everybody knows.
I had a look into dmesg, but nothing special happened when opening the camera lens cover and closing it after camera application started:
Code:
[125792.484527] cam_shutter (GPIO 110) is now open
[125800.695404] cam_focus (GPIO 68) is now active
[125800.883789] cam_focus (GPIO 68) is now inactive
[125844.562866] cam_shutter (GPIO 110) is now closed
Is it possible that titans power kernel causes this problem? I installed it, but did not modify the default settings yet.
I have used that kernel power version awhile ago. I cannot recall issues with camera not working though I do recall it was also probably the around the same time I recall there was a thread discussing issues if one also installed/uninstalled fcam. Though I know the likelihood of this happening with an older power kernel is very remote, it could be a potential source also to have a look at however.
Apart from that I really don't have a clue where else could be a potential problem. I am now using pk48 on two of my devices and have no troubles whatsoever with fcam, blessn900, mirror, mbarcode, even the stock camera program works.
Ok this is a little offtopic though reflashing and reinstalling takes a long time but you should consider something like backupmenu by robbiethe1st. That program is a real life saver provided that you don't have any other programs that also uses fanoush's bootmenu.
Ok, I did deinstall the power kernel with instructions given in the wiki.maemo.org/kernel_power and now with the stock kernel, the stock camera is working normal again. I am wondering though, how it is just me having this problems with the power kernel...
edit: the post you mentioned (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=246) states, that there are problems known with power kernel < v.46. But when I installed the power kernel with the application manager in september from extras-testing, it was only offering version 2.6.28.10power42
