newer tilts different camera hardware?

[jstuart83]

Ok guys ive run across this alot people downloading roms with radios that are designed to go with them and having trouble playing back video recorded on the device. I for one am having this problem i bought a new tilt 4-28-08
everything working fine, flashed duttys rom on 4-29-08, now this problem has arose. Now this thread is no way saying anything bad about Duttys rom i have had a tilt before and wore the thing out flashing his roms, he does awsome work this thread is to raise the question, has some thing been changed on the newer divices I know for a fact its not the rom and radio combination. I don't remember but on my old tilt i believe it had a 2 something meg on my new one its a 3 meg regardless somethings fishy.

I can't tell you if there is a difference in camera hardware or not, but I bought my Tilt about two weeks ago. First ROM I've flashed is Laurentius' V3 ROM, and I have not had any issues. It comes packaged with a radio. So far this ROM is superb, no issues to report from me, and much better of course than the stock ROM.

Try a different radio!

Its always been a 3MP camera...

BTW, which ROM/RADIO ver did you install? Was it the 1.65.14.06 ver??

What has video playback got to do with the number of megapixels in the camera? And suntzu is right, the camera in the Tytn II/Tilt has always been 3mp (well, technically speaking 2.8, but who's counting!)

ive flashed three different roms the htc and the att versions of duttys april 29 rom and alexes att rom and had the same issue on all three roms on duttys i shouldn't have to change the radio because that is whats packaged with the rom why would he say it compatiable if its not, come on this is dutty, i don't think its the radio rom combination. any way i started this thread to get people with the same problem to respond and see if there really is a problem. ive taken all logical steps to correct this, redownloaded roms, changed radios, reflashed still no solution

Did you try it on the stock rom to determine if you just have a bad tilt? If you've tried multiple roms/radio's, it does indeed start pointing at the hardware but doesn't necessarily mean anything has changed. From a business standpoint it would not make any sense to just change the camera and keep the same model number....they'd add a letter or change it up a bit to identify which firmware was needed.

[aberz]

you are probably right about the Rom

check out this post. This guy has found away to resolve the camera issue with his new TIlt

yes the stock rom worked fine the camera works fine its the way it stores it to the phone i just tried 1.58.21.3, 1.58.25.14, radio and the camera would not work at all which is the problem with the rom and radio combos with duttys rom the camera works its just the video playback is crazy

It comes packaged with a radio. So far this ROM is superb, no issues to report from me, and much better of course than the stock ROM.

I'll go ahead and try flashing that ROM to see whether it affects the camera on my new tilt too.

I think it's already been confirmed, but I'll confirm it as well:

The older Stock AT&T ROM I downloaded from somewhere off this forum (file name RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.57 - Originaly Shipped AT&T ROM.exe) did not work in terms of fixing the video camera issue. On top of that, it listed my processor as 7200.

I flashed with the newer:
RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.4 5.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe

And the video camera works flawlessly as the day I got my tilt (which was about a month ago).

Seems a slight change in the phones has occurred to cause this issue in most of the cooked ROMS being put out right now. Hopefully someone will be able to pinpoint exactly what it is....

For now all we have to go on is the models with the 7201 processor. Anyone that mentions they have a newer tilt and has now problems, please double check the processor to make sure it lists 7201 and not 7200. That way we know whether or not checking the processor is a reliable method of predicting whether there will be a problem or not...

I tried Laurentius' V3 ROM just now. I still get the issue, although, when I go to the video album the thumbnail isn't the usual sold green image for the video. It's got big red dots patterned across it. Also, watching the video, I can discern some bright objects amongst the garbled colorful pixels. That's about it. This rom seemed considerably slower than Dutty's latest one. I guess I'll sacrifice the video camera until someone figures this issue out :-P
