Hi Tcheko
I am quite relieved that others have the same problem. I was beginning to think it was something it was doing/not doing.
I think I have exhausted everything and yet the problem persists.
Numerous re flash with Tims 4e with clinical precision formatting, So1, and flash to last official version. I was not able to install a different camera as the stock on is preventing it from starting.
I also agree that it unlikely to be a hardware issue.
It may mean something to someone but when running Android System app from Market the camera reports the following:
Antibanding:null
Color effect: none
Exposure Compensation:0
No Camera available or error while accessing camera.
It would be interesting to see if the number of new tablets displaying this problem increases in the next few weeks. If you have seen the problem on tablets other than just the 32gb version like mine then this is going to be a bigger problem.
As I've said before, everything else is great and although the camera issue does not make a huge difference to me I just hate it when something does not do what it should.
I'm not able to offer a discount for a solution like you but I will certainly heap praise on any one that does
Cheers
Dave
Hi Dave,
right - I have installed the Android System info app on a "healthy" tablet and I am getting the same stats so not much help there.
I have however performed surgery and replaced the non functional camera with a working camera from another tablet running the same firmware.
The cameras are different. Just for interest, the newer one (not working one) is HZ0026G0308, the older I had, working one is LRGY229CX
so either...
1) All the 8 cameras in my tablets are faulty
or
2) The newer camera is not supported by the current firmware, I guess an issue with the drivers.
If this is the case and they have started building in different camera there should soon be more people with the same problem.
I will give it a go and contact Tim in a hope that he may take a look at it, will even send him a Tab if that helps.
I have also contacted my Chinese guy to get hold of the exact firmware used in those new tabs I have received. Will keep you updated
Cheers
Tcheko
