Can the camera be upgraded? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is the camera of the XDAII fixed to its current capability? Can it be replaced or upgraded - through hardware or software upgrade so that it becomes a 2Megapixel camera?
Thanks in advance.

it could be upgraded if you could find a cam with the same connectors
and that dident take up more space then the old one
and it would require working drivers and a new cam application to work
basicly it would most likely be troublesome if possible and it could cost more then buying a new pda with a better cam

MDA Camera problem

Hello,
I recently updated my T-Mobile MDA III to WM6 and everything worked fine, until I recently noticed that I can use the camera only with the integrated application, while any other cam software doesn't work. Do you know any solutions for this problem?
Thanks in advance,

Ye, my bro has the same problem... he is using XDA IIs
What do you mean by you can "use camera only with the integrated application"??? I really dont understand....
I mean the camera works with the software that was installed when I bought the pda, however i doesn't work with any other cam software I install. The software that was installed when I bought it has no name actually it has a cam icon and says camera. After I updated to WM6 it has again that app and the camera works only whit it.
yeah, that seems to be a problem on the wm6 upgrades. i think the camera app has been changed(the codings, maybe), that's why any other app that wants to use the camera cant use it coz it is different.
Same Problem After Upgrading to WM6.1 (27/2/08)
I've got the same problem only in condition that i can use it for first video recording. After first successful attempt, there's no more working camera for both pic shot or vid record.

Where to get the VGA cam for video calling?

I have a 8525 and just replaced the casing for a Dopod unit.
I have the little hole now that is empty for the VGA camera located on the front.
Anyone know where I can buy or locate this camera so I can put it in?
sorry u can t buy a cam for ur 8525...
it is bult in or not ...
tytn is a version of the hermes with the cam
8525 is a version with out cam
sorry but there's no other way to say it ariaguest you are absolutely wrong... ;-)
you can actually buy the camera if you can manage to find it again on ebay.
after you buy it just open your case fit it in the correct place and now you should have a front working camera.
the only limitation if my memory serves me correct is that it might not work for video calls, but you can still use it for other purposes through a 3rd party app, at the moment i also forget what that is (busy flashing and trying out other roms on my little hermes)

Video Suport when making VOIP calls?

Hi people,
Does anyone know if there is any software out there that would allow us to make VOIP calls and use the front camera of the Atom Life? I just purchased the Life after over 2 years of using my trusty original Atom........I had hoped to be able to use the front camera for SKYPE type calls but it does not seem possible......also must say how crap the 64mb for RAM is, My originasl Atom was great in cpmparison to the Life which seems to leak RAM at every orifice.....
Thanx for any pointers in the VVOIP front.
I managed to find a download from www.octro.com but it is in the Beta phase and the front camera does not work yet. but worth a play if you want this functionality. Also you can try www.imichat.com but that is not to support PPC only Symbian so far but the application looks better than Octro.

Main Camera replace. Is it Possible?

Hi all!
I´ve a problem with my htc touch dual main camera, 2 MP.When I open the photo application I have a vertical blue line on the screen . I think its an hardware problem.
I have a faulty htc S710 but the camera on it works great (2 MP also). Is it possible to take the camera on the S710 an put it on the nike?
If the above doesnt work, does anyone know how much it will cost put a new camera on the nike?
Thanks guys
I think you can change it, because camera module is exchangeable.
Also i don't think HTC uses different 2mp modules on they devices
The only problem is length of cabel, it may be not enought for dual

I would also think so... but after seeing both service repair manuals, the camera modules are different in size and on the vox dont exists a cable to conect to the camera ... I supose its not possible
You can see them here:

Hi at all,
i've a little problem with the camera in my application.
I'm the developer of LazyDroid Web Desktop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032470&highlight=lazydroid
I've some issues with the camera. It works with my device and other two devices i use for test... samsung I5500 and Hiuwei Ideas... two cheap devices i bought for tests.... All works with mine devices, but some user complain that they can't get it to work. Doing some test i've found that the camera works on some devices if i set flash-value 2 in the camera params... now i'm thinking what i've to do.
If i cannot find a better solution i've to make a mega-if that set params depending on Manufacturer and Phone Model...
Do you have any ideas?
