I get a "File not found" via your link. Why don't you just include the instructions in your post? In any case, I nowadays use a workaround that works well enough for me.

Thanks.

Yes, I too had later on applied this workaround as suggested by Gabi at

You may be affected by one or more of the serious bugs described in

That is a truly horrible bug! I need and use the equivalent of VideoControl.setDisplaySize(64,64) for live camera views, and that works fine on older Nokia series 60 phones. Are there later firmware...

Thank you vivanchenko. However, this is the Mobile Java forum, and I'm
afraid that there is no portable equivalent of your C code in Java. I
can only hope that Nokia pays some more attention to...

Thank you Kurt for the good suggestion. My MIDlet is also being used
on Sony Ericsson and Motorola phones, so I'd prefer to avoid a further
code fragmentation if it can at all be avoided. Just...

There is no JNI-like interface in Java on Nokia phones, so we are
stuck with any limitations in the Java implementation for a given
phone, including for instance the inability to mute the shutter...

Thanks.

I'm afraid that the video streaming approach will not work for getting
individual low resolution frames at the required split second latency,
but I'll gladly be proven wrong! I have...

5 seconds for a low-resolution shapshot on the N95!? Amazing.
My app is designed to take 64 x 64 pixel snapshots once per
second, and it will currently time out after 4 seconds. This
could explain...

Hi,

A blind user of my software has recently moved from a Nokia 6600
to a Nokia E51, but with the E51 there seems to be no way to turn
off the utterly annoying shutter sounds? My app is designed...

Yes, I am close to giving up on Java development for mobile phones
because of the many hoops for users and developers alike, and the
unpredictability of whether a certain MIDlet will run on a...

I have user reports about the same problem with the Nokia N73,
where the combination of flashlight and shutter sounds drains
a fully charged battery in about an hour while running my app.
Indeed I...

As far as I know they ran into the problem right away after...

Thank you, hartti! It may once again be a firmware version
issue that determines whether it works on a given phone type
or not. I had almost discarded the 6280 as a compatible phone
(despite...

An update about audio problems with the Nokia 6280: I recently

Java MIDlet, getting "audio device not available" messages as

Thanks jascco, I find the same with my app on a Nokia 6680
(which fortunately does not have shutter sounds), that is,

On my Nokia 6680 I too found that I could write to the memory card, e.g.,

file:///e:/myfile.png

but not to any folder in the phone memory that I tried. Is this documented
anywhere? I could...

Hi Peter,

From what I've read, java midlet signing is pretty expensive for
what is meant to be a free application, and I've also seen many
horror stories about problems with the midlet signing...

Does it help to turn off Warning Tones in your Profile?
For my app too it is unacceptable to hear shutter sound,
so I'd be interested in any workaround.

Hi browndrf,

Many Nokia phones only capture up to 160 x 120 pixel snapshots
through J2ME, and larger snapshots are merely enlarged copies
that add no resolution. :-(

Best regards,

Hi jiashing,

A while ago I obtained a Nokia 6680 myself, and never ran
into the capture://video problem with it, so my guess was
that the problem was fixed by Nokia in later firmware. I ...

Hi Rakesh,

Beware that J2ME on the Nokia 6600 (and many other phone types)
captures just 160 x 120 pixel snapshots (bigger snapshots are merely
enlarged copies and add no resolution), so this...
