Hi all..recently my desire has been having problems with the camera..Initally i am using Defrost 6.1a with no problems..Pictures and videos taken with it are working fine until 2 days ago.. when i take pictures and capture a video..i am able to view it inside the phone..but once i mount it via usb to pc...the pictures and videos are gone!i tried looking at all the folders inside DCIM but could not find it...once unmounted...the pictures and videos are also not found in the phone gallery any more... I tried to reformat sd card(had a ext3 partition) and also upgraded to GV1.9 but the problem still persisted.Before defrost,i had used other roms as well.. Advice is greatly appreciated..thanks!
 
well.i have not tested it with h2testw but all the other files(music,titanium backup files) work perfectly...only pictures and videos seem to have problems
 
HMM.an update..under ASTRO,i am able to see the pictures and videos...but once mounted to pc..i cannot see it anymore!googled it and found similar scenerios to it..but no solutions...formatting does not work either..any solutions?
 
That leads me to think the problem is with the camera app specifically rather than the phone in general or the sd card.

Have you tried clearing data via manage applications on the camera?
 
hmm thats what i am suspecting too...prior to this..i had a problem with the camera(from previous roms,non sense)..which the error msg says "not responding" either to force close or wait..camera hardware problem?
 
If you have been moving between roms without data wipe or doing titanium restores, it could be that there are settings conflicting with your camera.

Might be worth taking a nandroid backup then doing a full data wipe without restore to test. That way if it works, you know its software / data settings
 
i did batch backup on all apps for any roms..but when i swtiched roms and restore apps..i do not restore any system apps..also full wiped,wiped caches..will be somehow still conflict?
 
Sometimes, things that conflict are not obvious. For example, restoring wallpapers from a sense rom will cause sound settings to force close on an AOSP rom.

All I can suggest is wipe to observe if the problem persists.
