camera theory

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

ok folks been examining this and it seems to me that the majority of users with issues getting 720p working are using a specific device varient, putting this up to see if its the correct theory

[Guest degriz]

just in case Im being a twonk. How exactly do you select 720p recording? All I have is a selection of High, Low, MMS, Youtube or Custom.

Doh, found it in Custom. Crashed B)

Was on AT&T 1.6 and used your 3 step method for the Froyo untouched version. 720p recording crashes

[Guest m4tt24]

Ok, just tried custom and 720p and it fc now both camera and camcorder are both instantly closing, really need my camera back super urgent how do I stop the fc's?

[Guest brokenpixel]

Rebooting fixes it, dont select 720p and it'll be stable.

Steve, I'm not exactly sure how to vote in this one. I bought my US ATT Streak from Best Buy. My guess is since it had no ATT bloatware on it, we can call it direct from Dell...

Thoughts?

[Guest zeiger]

Mine force close too

Running 1.4.1 on unlocked streak

[Guest moto_user]

When i flashed V1.3 back when Steve released it, video camera would fc every time..now that i flashed v.1.4.1, im able to record at 720p, im using a dell streak unlocked, i think it a dell direct, since i did a trade for an iphone i had, they guy included the streak (of course) cables manuals etc, the box is the one with the tall clear box on top and the black box on the bottom with the "white house" printed on it, i got the phone back in mid september.

Canadian Rogers Streak here,

Running 2.2 (1.4.1) FC with 720P Camera option. Had the same issue with the official Dell Build that was release a while back. (didn't have this problem in 2.1)

[Guest Kohawk]

Hmm. Looking at the results so far, seems the Unlocked dell direct units do ok with the 720p recording... what would differ between them and the other units to cause this I wonder?

Steve, I had the issue after upgrading to 2.2 via your post today and it was fixed completely by using the Update.pkg

Mine was AT&T locked but I was able to resolve the issue by reverting to 4399 and following this guide, although I did have to do things slightly differently than the OP stated, see my post.

Where do I even chose 720p in camera???

[Guest gavelis]

Unlocked German Streak from MediaMarkt (might be same hard-/software like from Dell Germany) upgraded with "official" 00-Update.pkg 2.2:

720P video recording working without any issues

(but therefor I have a bug viewing some webpages: "too many redirects")

[Guest Acky1337]

o2 uk locked official froyo and working 720p, in fact all modes are working for me, none of them crash or anything.

unlocked unit 00-EU I used 2.1 stock 8105 then flashed via fastboot 2.2 (boot ,system,radio), camera gave me force close in 720p then i reverted back to 6267 stock and update by pkg to 2.2 Now works perfectly

Same here, and same with anyone else I know of who has a EU unlocked Streak. Using any of Steve's builds or using the official Froyo but flashing via fastboot, and the issue is there. Reverting to stock 6267 build and then either use OTA update (for those some who managed to do it while it was up) or flash the official .pkg using stock recovery (which, in the end, should be exactly the same as the OTA update would do), and the camera issue is gone.

To me it would seem like the issue has something to do with the way how the device is being flashed. It would seem that when using a stock recovery with the official pkg built would flash somewhat different than with the fastboot method.
