I have updated the fix for the camera, but now my xda has gone mad.

it keeps opening my text messages and internet explorer, every couple of seconds, my sync isnt working either, need to know how to revert back to the previous settings.

I can live without the camera and record buttons working but cannot live with it opening programs every thirty seconds :(

I'm sorry to hear that, you're the first reporting that kind of problem! :(
Anyway, just remove the entry HKLM/Services/CamRecSvc in the registry and do a soft reset.

Sorry DotFred you are talking to a newbie, don't know how to change a registry entry, I have trawled through the forums but to no avail, can you either let me know how to do it or point me in the direction of where to find out.

Ok no prob. Denise,

Here is a little app. that you have to launch on your ppc, it will remove the camrecsvc service.

ps.: can you tell me what version of himalaya and the OS you're using ?

Thanks

Hi Fred,

you forgot to attach the fix, but it's no matter last night i trawled through the site and finally found the how to for my XDA its a XDAIIs which I belive is a Blue Angel, I have now managed to get a registy editor and have deleted the files but it has not solved my problem.

The problem I am experiencing is as if a button is stuck and it keeps opening Text messages and IE constantly.

I am using OS WM2005, can't find where the about button is to find the version.

What fix, the uninstall_camrecsvc.exe removes the camrecsvc.dll from the ppc and deletes the related keys from the registry.

And yes, if you have a BlueAngel, it won't work (go here and you will know which ppc you have http://wiki.xda-developers.com/). I don't check the type of ppc, and maybe it's a good idea to add that to the service.

Anyway, you seem to say that the problem remains even after the deinstallation of the service, am I right ? Are you sure the service has been removed. Do you have a file called /Windows/CamRecSvc.dll ?

Otherwise I don't think you have a lot of choices.

I would try a hard reset first and clean the registry.

If you have an himalaya:

Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> NO

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

If you have a BlueAngel, just find somewhere here how to do a hard reset.

ps.: before doing this, I suggest you to do a backup of your pim and important files first in case you make a mistake at some stage.

If the problem still persists. Then I would suggest a reflash of the OS. :(

Cheers and good luck,

.Fred

Hi Fred,

Thanks for that, played about with it for a bit and reinstalled the fix and got a different registry editor, deleted the dll again and it seem to work.

only issue i have now is when in sync it asks me for server IP address, i have seen a forum for sorting this.

thanks again and that will teach me to just do an update without checking what device i have!

Hi Dotfred, after installing the downloaded file, the buttons respond perfectly. But the camera button takes me to MY PICTURES. Am expecting to see the camera icon there but vanished. I went to the program files to call the camera from there but I get the same problem. Am using 2.0

Just create a new Text document on your pc and open it with notepad

type this:

40#:MSCAMERA?shellres.dll,-8263

rename it:

camera.lnk


And save it on your ppc here:

/Windows/AppButtons

Cheers,

.Fred

ps.: if the camera app is not launched then there is a bug or something different in that ROM

hi DotFred.
You made a hell of a job by doing this.Thanks a lot, only.... the green-red lights still are dark at my Qtek2020 with tofclock's 2.01a.64wwe, radio 1.17
I copied the .exe to my device and started it, gave a soft reset but no lights. The HW buttons are ok (great!) Am I doing something wrong?

[henk-jan]

problem solved: I used the wrong version of camrecsvc.dll.
After copying the wright one (2.1.0.1) to windows\ and restarted the program is was ok. Thanks .Fred for the excellent program.

Just check if the camrecsvc.dll is started.

Some people said that the setup doesn't work on their hima.

So they had to do the installation/upgrade manually.

Read the related posts on buzzdev.net, you will probably find the answer.
