Develop Bugs

Camera has now broken.

Just did the update, Not really wanting to post, did a quick search and found nothing, But the 2.2 OTA update appears to have broken the camera...
The default app opens and cloes, and others just sit with a black screen

That's weird. I just done my update 2 hour ago. But seems like everything works fine.

Fine with mine.
I even tested the 720p.
Try to manually reboot your phone.
I got issue with app list and fixed with reboot. Probably this one too.
Also check your SD card.

Yea I havent read anyone else having this problem so its annoying, I was planning on doing a sidew by side comparrison with the 2.2 and 2.1 versions.

Same problem here...

RESTART your Desire, it's fixed most peoples cameras.

you should do it with goldcard inside... your radio hasn't been able to update properly

I shouldnt have to use a gold card.

Only way I tried to make it run,was playing with the task killer and killing footprints,gallery and cam apps.
Then it runs,but that's not a solution...

I've got the same problem, just opens and then closes. Tried reboot but it didn't help.

well you're on orange, aren't you?
No goldcard = no camera

My camera isn't working either, a friend of mine with the same phone and same provider (vodafone) has got his camera working with no problems at all.

Same here, camera dead. Rebooting didn't help.
EDIT: Started task killer, killed everything (including camera, it was listed). Now it works.

A note to everyone with problems - I have done some testing and the problems seems to be some unresolved compatibility issues migrating from the old android os to the new one. Things seem to be fixed for some people by restarting however in some cases a factory reset is required. Most settings will be maintained in this however user dictionary, security and data settings may be lost. Other app based settings will also be lost, but so far it seems to be the sure fire method to resolve the problem.
Also note that the problem has been filed with HTC and we are waiting for a response.

Camera is working again, out of nowhere!

+1 - stock unbranded desire. Camera now fails, reboot doesn't help.
Task killing a bunch of apps lets you start the camera - but this does not survive a reboot.
Moving apps to the SD card in App Manager also re-enables the camera for some reason but again this does not survive a reboot.
Need a fix for this pdq!

OK - have a fix that works for me. Killed all tasks one by one and tested camera to find culprit:
LED Light Widget 1.0.9
Uninstalled this and camera working normally even after reboot.

[Q] GPS issue with Froyo OTA update

Hey guys. New to the forum
Just done the OTA update to get to Andriod 2.2 on my HTC Desire and now have two glaring issues that weren't there before.
The first is the issue already mentioned here about the photos being blurred in full screen mode.
The other is when using the Power Control widget. When WiFi is on and GPS is off. When I then switch off WiFi it turns GPS on!
I also can't update my location details when using Google and Google Navigation can't find the GPS.
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue? What do you suggest I do? A hard reset? Is there a way to revert to Android 2.1 and try the 2.2 update again?
Any help is appreciated

We have it on the desire froyo port on hd2

Are you per-chance using a de-branded handset?

I am using a non-branded Desire on the 3 Network.
I'm guessing there are issues with the OTA update from HTC as people are saying it's been pulled.

just got the OTA today and it's installing right now as I'm doing this typing.I don't think it was pulled but sent out in batches to reduce server overload.I'll let you know how the installation end up.

just finished installing ans everything seem to work ok except the GPS locking?It seems to take forever to lock.I even took it to the window to see if it would lock there but doesn't seem to respond.Any ideas?

this seems to be the case for me too. unbranded unlocked phone. GPS takes 3 or 4 minutes to lock

same here foursquare doesn't detect my location even with GPS is on
any fix for GPS ?

In your case I would do a hard reset. These things work for me after the upgrade. If you have task killing software installed, try removing these first and any other program that is tampering with system...
Good luck!

Tried a hard reset but issue still remains. Guessing it is something to do with the update then
Anyone had any luck with doing a hard reset?

I am running an unbranded Desire from CPW, on O2, and I upgraded to Froyo OTA at the weekend. The GPS works fine and locks normally (even got a fix when flying home from Greece yesterday - 541mph at a height of 7.4 miles! )
However, the blurry pictures is annoying me - but as soon as you pinch zoom slightly, the clarity returns, and goes again when you zoom out to full photo again. Irritating since everyhting else works brilliantly.
I read elsewhere on here that O2 are working on their own release - maybe that will fix this issue?

is there anything with the debranded handsets? Mine takes awfully long time to find a satellite..

I've just switched on Sygic mobile maps, and by the time the screen had loaded, the GPS was up and running - approx 15-20 seconds. Not sure why you guys are having problems, but it sounds very annoying!

Camera focus...

Here's the problem: Defy is rooted and MS2Ginger 2.0 is installed without any problem. Upgraded to 2.1 via CWM recovery, just the system.
Now, the focus in camera works from time to time. The strange behavior occurs randomly, with stock camera and camera 360 2.5.5 as well. It can be manifested as soon as I start the program as there is no specific clicking (mine Defy is with red lence) on the start of the camera program. Now, it works, but it doesn't mean it will work in 3 hours from now. Tried stopping app and clearing data, tried rebooting as well, tried patching with panorama fix but there's no certain metod for solving this problem. No memory management program used, no app killers.
Anybody else experiencing this strange behavior?

A friend of mine had the same problem. His camera was broken and had to be replaced. But in your case it could also be a software bug. Have you flashed the stock rom and checked the camera there?

Nope,
tried with french retail 2.2.2, the same; focus not working.

try fix permissions , just a suggestion , gotta try n see

OK, how to do that? : )

Ok, fixed permisions via Rom Manager, rebooted, same as before. Now it's not focusing at all so it would be logical to blame hardware. Will take it to repair center on Monday to see what will they tell me.

And now it works again after installing 720 panorama fix, rebooting and clearing data in camera app!?
But I already did full system installations before, with all Walter79's instructions including clearing all kind of cache files in CWM and nothing worked.
I'm waiting to see if it'll stop again. Confused.
P.S. Focus again not working after 22 hours. Above method not working. Anyone, any advice?

Can't use front camera... HELP!

Hi everyone,
I need help to sort out an issue about my front facing camera.
My phone is stock WWE version, I took the first OTA (1.54.401.5 I believe), then unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed ARHD 6.0.
Everything was working fine, then I flashed version 7.0 few days ago (without upgrading firware, as I'm one of the poor "Whelp" guys with firewater, so I couldn't get s-off) and now my front camera won't work. When I try to select it, camera application force closes and I'm back to homescreen. If I try to setup face unlock, I get a message saying sth like "Can't connect to front camera".
I've tried other ROMs like InsertCoin, same issue. Only way I could get it back to work again for a while was flashing Maximus HD.
I have NO IDEA what is going wrong here.
I doubt it is a hardware issue as everything has been working flawlessly for some weeks. So my question is, could it be a problem of ROM/firware version compatibility? Can keeping an "old" firmware cause this kind of issues?
Thanks a lot for your help!

right now, installing OTA (after going back to stock rom & recovery), hope things will get fixed...
I might be f***d for S-off since 1.54.xxx.10 patches the firewater exploit, but anyway...

I had similar issue after 2 months...my ffc 'disappeared' when I used a system info app to check hardware etc. and also noticed the duo effects stopped working...swiping to ffc in camera app didn't do anything either...weird...took to Sprint store and they verified and I had new phone sent in as replacement.

Thanks for your feedback...
afterfirmware update, same issue, on ARHD and even on Stock ROM 1.54.xxx.10. Started to think itwas a hardware issue, thinking of sending the phone in HTC warranty (although I unlocked the bootloader) then I tried to flash maximus HD 4.0 again and WOOSH, issue gone!! FFC works as it should again. STRANGE as hell.
If anyone has a clue on how to solve this...

I have the same problem, I flashed the MaximusHD and doesn't work:crying:

Hello,
What version of Maximus HD did you flash?
I used version 4.0.
Well, what is strange is that after a while I switched to ARHD 8.0, then 8.1. All went well until last weekend, boom, issue is here again.
I'm thinking of a few things :
- software issue cause by God knows what.
probably not as I have had the issue with many ROMS, whatever version I'm using when it pops up.
Might be other apps but issue remains with clean install...
- Other hardware issue not related to phone (SD card...)
probabbly not as I tried to remove SD card, restart phone, same issue.
- hardware issue with the FFC, coming and going. In that case, not much to do apart from trying to get an exchange model.
maybe...

You could S-OFF using Sunshine and then reflash everything from the beginning and see what happens. Also means you'll get the right firmware on your phone as well

Hi EddyOs, and thanks.
Yes, did S-Off when sunshine was released. I used it to install HK audio mod on ARHD 8.1
Issue only came back recently, and hasn't gone since...
I'm completely lost here. Can a hardware issue be temporary, go, and come back? Seems strange to me.

Well hit it with a hammer, if it still doesn't do anything then perhaps it wasn't hardware but software. :silly:
Seriously though, Yes hardware issues can "come and go" intermittently. I see that crap all the time at work.
Could try and completely start from scratch again and see if it helps like Eddy suggested, if it's a hardware problem then naturally it'll have to be sent back but luckly you have S-OFF so you can return to stock fully. Unlucky for you however, if the device gets exchanged then it means you'll have to fork out another $25 for S-OFF as it's a 1 phone only license

after five days, issue is gone. Now everything seems to work normally.
No hit, no drop, no shock whatsoever.
Now just waiting for the issue to come back...

I am also facing same issue..some1 Help,.
hello friends.. recently selfie option in camera is missing in my htc m8 phone.

Some one help us please..
IF any 1 got the solution, please post it here

Isn't there a HTC diagnostics code that you can use to test all features...that might help to see if hardware in fact has failed...that's basically what HTC would do if you were to call them...forgot the key combo off hand

HTC Camera

Hi
My HTC camera app stopped working. It's launching but I can't use any buttons or options and very often after few clicks I'm getting message that app crashed. I uninstalled all new apps but still the same.
Has anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Clear the cameras cache. You can also try to uninstall all camera updates... It will reinstall when searching for updates.

Same issue here
I'm also having the same issue with HTC camera app. Noted this situation this morning.
Clear cache does not solve the issue.
Also noted some problems with the screen sometimes not waking up and problems with motion gestures to wake the phone.
Seems to overheat more than usual.
Any ideas?
Cheers

People gets laggy camera after "few days" ago, HTC app "Speak" is making camera laggy and unresponsive. Try uninstalling it and see if problem is solved, for me it worked. I had laggy issue. It's an update, so when you go to apps in settings, go to settings under "Speak" and choose uninstall update.

Fixed! I can confirm that HTC Speak latest update is the guilty part. I suspected that because problems have started after the last update.
In my case just uninstalling the HTC Speak upadates didn´t work.
I first uninstalled the HTC Speak updates, then clear data and cache for the HTC Camera app and rebooted my HTC One M8.
Everything is fine now. Camera works without problems and motion gestures also.
Cheers!

This is why i love the internet
Been having this problem only since this morning. Camera ultra laggy & unusable, plus unable to unlock or wake the screen with motion launch!
I messaged HTC..no reply (surprise) So i was thinking of doing a factory reset..but i thought i'd check on here first.. and right there is someone with the answer to my problem.
Thanks SO much :good: you saved me having to reset my phone, and then the 'getting everything back on it' problem.

I've found solution after I reset But glad I could help! ch
