Default Problem with HTC HD7 Camera

Hello

Now i am going to return my HTC HD7 phone and change it for a new one.
Why?
The camera wont turn on neither on the camera button neither in the menu.

Here is the film, what it actually does.
I understand that i am not allone with this camera issue.

So far there is no solution for this problem so in this case there is only return and get a new one option.

Default Camera Issue Solution

I had the same problem with my HTC HD7 and have found a possible solution. I simply took the battery out and my SIM card, let it sit for about 1 minute. Put the SIM card back in and the battery then turned the phone back on. It fixed my camera issue.

I am not saying this will fix the issue permanently but it worked for me, I havent had any issues with the camera thus far.

Wow, two imbeciles come in here and spread BS instead of answering and helping OP.

OP, I've never had that problem nor have I heard of it, so it's most definitely specific to your device so using the manufacturers warranty and getting a replacement is definitely the best solution, although nando's workaround might work...or a hard reset if it's a glitch.
Phones:
HTC HD7 16GB (Personal) Running NextGen+ 2.6 ROM
Samsung Omnia II (overclocked business phone) running thekevster's CF03 6.5 FloTanium ROM and owning Androids in every department
Blackberry Torch 9850 running Lyricidal's latest hybrid (wife's) and also owning Androids.



Tethering on my HD7 is nice

AFAIK Its a windows phone issue, It has nothing to do with htc, HD7 or whatever.

It happens to zune, and marketplace too, and It only takes a simple reboot to solve it.

Still, if you believe its an hd7 issue, you shouldnt be asking it here. This is a windows-phone 7 forum, and device-related problems should be asked in their respective forums.

As stated already, You might get better help with HD7 issues if you post in the HD7 specific forum, and it might help to keep the device trolls at bay...

I tried two ways of succesfully fixing this:
-3 times hard resetting
-3times soft resetting

Both did the trick for me, but for obvious reasons I now always soft reset 3 times whenever this occurs.
(Hasn't happened since NoDo tho..)
