Guest FrankyG Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 What would be nice if someone could write an app that would automatically transfer the photos which you've just taken to a pre-defined location on your storage card, when you re-insert your SD or MMC. Just a though.... :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adamski Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 THIS is exactly what I want!! PLEASE where can we buy one? Or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAZealot Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Well, I just got mine in the mail today[the SD camera from gaborvision in Taiwain], but it's not recognizing when I plug it in! I've made sure I have the IA 1.6 Album[Camera] software installed on the phone in local memory, but it just doesn't show up as a camera that is plugged in! Arrgghhh! Any suggestions on how to resolve? I've uninstalled, and reinstalled several times, no improvement. Also, I've tried plugging it in dozens of times as well. Any suggestions sorely appreciated....

Guest Bonzo Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 only one... and U won't like it I'm afraid!!! This would be the fact that there are no drivers for the camera within the phone... this is why it's probably not on general release in the UK or states yet as it would most likely need to come with the driver software bundled with it or with a ROM update to add them much as happened with the SPV when the keyboard was released :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAZealot Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 True, maybe it requires a driver that is unlisted anywhere. I've checked at the IAstyle.com site, and it says that the Camera program is part of the package, and it should detect a camera being plugged in. When I plug it in, it doesn't see squat. Yes, since I am in the States, and Sophist is in Hong Kong, it may be the firmware is different, or something extra is added, but I haven't heard anything said about this. Sophist, thank you for your PM. Did you[or has anyone else who has this SD Camera] have to load any other software, or do any changes besides load the IA Album software to get it to work? Any input greatly appreciated, as I don't like that I paid $150 for a camera part that doesn't work. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is worth trying it out though, may be better to wait for an announcement of a UK release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAZealot Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah, I was thinking about flashing to the generic ROM, but I've heard it hurts the 1900 reception[i'm in the US, so this is key], and I don't know that it will solve the issue. Plus, there is no way of going back, so I don't think I want to do it till I know it works, or I have a way of coming back to the ATT ROM version. Please let me know of any other ideas though.

Guest equis Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Well what is the advantage of flashing the Moto rom from the ATTWS rom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAZealot Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Most likely, nothing. However, it might have the IA Album+capture software preloaded. This might do the trick with the camera problem, as my problem very well may be with the ATT ROM having the MMS and Camera software removed that may be essential. This is odd though, as I am using the IA Album 1.6 software that should have the IA Capture program as a part of it. Basically, it should work, but it just doesn't. Downgrading to the generic ROM is fine, but it's not worth doing unless I know it will enable the camera functionality 100%, as I lose 1900mhz reception in the process. Anyone who has this camera, do you have the ATT branded ROM or the generic Moto ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Even though I don't have the generic rom installed (I have the Orange supplied ROM) I don't think that it will have either the MMS software or IA Album software built in. The reason being that when the Orange supplied phone is hard reset the MMS software, IA Album and all the other software which comes supplied on the camera gets wiped out. The application were all supplied on CD for reinstalling after a hardreset. I think your problem will be more down to the version of IA Album that you have (i.e. 1.6), the version that comes on the CD with the MPx200 from Orange is supposed to be a pre-release version of IA Album 2, it most likely has drivers for the SD camera (which wasn't around when IA Album 1.6 was written) built in. From what I remember we were meant to get a free upgrade to version 2 when it was released but you would really need to contact IA Style to confirm this.

Guest PDAZealot Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Free at last! Thank G*d I'm free at last! :-) Thanks to a very kind person here at Modaco, I was directed to try out the IA Album 2.0 package. That was the ticket, and the camera software works perfectly with this newer 2.0 version. It was the 1.6 version of IA Album that didn't work. Pictures and video are coming out fine now. I'll post some up for the forum to look at later. Thanks again everyone for their suggestions and sorely appreciated help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, am happy for you :lol: Can you please do a kind of mini review - how good is the camera, how does it transfer stuff to the SD card, the max amout/length of pics or video etc..

Guest beersoft Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 i was looking for somewhere to buy the camera from and google gave me the answer http://www.handit.de/shop/index.cfm?fuseac...id=227&pid=1855 about £60, im tempted :) later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashekoff Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I'm not sure if the phone is equipped with SDIO port, but the camera that uses SD port does excist. I'm not sure which retailers carry it, but it's available on eBay, see the link below. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3067219357 Good Luck!

Guest markdotpeters5 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 here's an image taken with the camera, and the same image after i've gotten rid of the purple bleeding around the edge of the picture. I'll put a video up when I've got somewhere a little more permanent to host it, but basically, it's alright apart from the same purpleness! Any questions, give me a shout and i'll happily respond. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankyG Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I just got mine today, but find the camera activation Very unreliable. Even after a reboot, I more often than not get the message 'Camera has not been detecteded or is currently being activated. Please click OK' Clicking OK at this point takes you to the IA Album picture viewer, where you can try to activate the camera again but it never works. My first thoughts are that this is going straight back, it's just not good enough. Maybe there's a fix or I'm doing something wrong, I hope so.

Guest markdotpeters5 Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 I usually find that I have to leave it a couple of seconds after plugging it in before trying to activate it, but it works every time. It's not the best camerra in the world, but it is fairly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jack_d12 Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 anyone got any help on turning up the brightness of the phone ? also enabling zooming of the camera in 640x480 mode ??? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 You will not be able to zoom with 640x480 as the camera uses a digital zoom and not an optical one so any zooming will reduce the resolution. As with the brightness unless there is a setting in the software then this will not be possible either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
