I'm sure this has been covered, as I've seen other posts suggesting this is an issue. I got an N810 from eBay - mint condition, everything works great except for the camera. I've tried several camera applications and none can access it. I tried to video chat with Gizmo, no dice.

I am running the latest DIABLO release.

Any suggestions on how to get this thing to work? It will really annoy me if I can never use it. I'm not sure I can send it in for any warranty repair since I got it used on eBay.

Thoughts?

...so nobody else has any issues with their camera not working? For some reason, I thought this was a wide-spread issue?

FYI, I just loaded 'camera', opened it and took a shot. No problems except it took a while to move from taking the shot to the picture library. So this app works fine on an N810 with Diablo.
Not much help but just thought I try to verify something for you. Cheers.

coolbreeze,

try liqbase http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/liqbase/
it makes extensive use of the camera and lots of folks have tested.
never heard of a problem of the camera itself not working, but some apps you expect to have the camera don't.

Naming two or three would be nice.

"Latest" is always very relative.

I am running the latest release (see photo)

Also, here is a video of what's happening with the "Camera" app.



FWIW, I have also tried liqbase and Gizmo with no luck.

Is it possible for the camera to just be dead or would another avenue work? (reinstalling the OS, etc, etc). This really is a bummer...

So I suppose I have a broken unit. Great!

Maybe I'll try a hard reset and reinstall...but I'm not optimistic.

Darn you eBay. There's always a catch.

try a reflash and dont install or restore anything.
SImply put the one single camera app on and try from there.

failing that, rma

No Dice. RMA time. Only 10 days left on my warranty, too. Yikes.

You mean connecting your camera with gphoto2 and the N810 as USB host ?
Does not work either with me.
