Hello,

I don't use the camera on my Cingular 8525 that much. Not until recently did i realize the "Camera" application in "Programs" is gone. I realized it b/c at one time i accidentally hit the camera button and "Photos and Videos" showed up instead of the camera capture screen.

\Device\Windows\Camera.exe exists when viewing with File Explorer. However, launching it doesn't do anything.

I tried doing a Hard Reset but it didn't help. After the initialization, there is still no "Camera" in "Programs". I don't remember whehter i did any ROM upgrade on this phone, it's shown as:
Windows Mobile Version 5.0
OS 5.1.15 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
Can anybody tell me if this is the original ROM before HTC released the AT&T ROM?

Does anybody know what's going on?? If my camera is broken, there should still be a "Camera" applicaiton after a hard reset, right?? How can the "Camera" app disappear all of a sudden??

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I tried a hard reset and still nothing. The camera is gone.

I haven't found a solution yet. I think i will take it to a Cingular store for repair since i bought it like 2 months ago. The tech support rep on the phone said they would send a replacement unit for me for free. I will find out the detail in the store.
