Last time i used my camera on my desire i noticed something strange:
i pressed the volume up and down buttons ant the screen starts flickering in a strange way. after this it turns purple and stays purple until i end the camera application.
i use the original stock froyo rom with root, market and camera fix.
I have exactly the same problem
instal Vanila ROM or better OD od Cyanogen for best result with camera
& also with Android
i would suggest trying a different radio version, newest if your not running it. if you are, go back a version.
I've had the same issue, it seems quite common, nothing has fixed it apart from sending it back to the place I bought it. I'm on my 3rd desire now, and this one is going back for the camera glitch fault too, 1st one had no camera flash, 2nd one camera purple screen glitch, and 3rd one the same camera glitch.
HTC are aware
I too have this problem.
I reported it to HTC and they have escalated the issue. They said they have had 2 reports of it(!)
So any of you guys want to report it to HTC too, it may up their priority to resolve it!
workaround - If you set your phone to airplane mode before you use the camera, it should be OK

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?
Of late, the camera on my desire with stock rom stopped working. First to go was the LED then after a long time (may be about 2-3 months) the camera refused to start. It showed a blank screen and then returned back to the home screen. I reset it to factory settings (stock) too but this did not help. I thought if I root it and change the rom, it may work but this problem still persists.
I had dropped the phone couple of times and when i pressed the camera in, it 'sat in place' as though it had become loose due to the fall.
do you think the camera has still not 'sat in place' and so its not working?
If so, how do i take it apart and set it right?
thanks in advance.

PS Its running RunnymedeMod007 ver 21 with android 2.3.5 and I am extremely happy with the quantum leap in battery life, new sense UI and better resolution so I'd be very unhappy to sell it off just for the bad cam.
Sorry I posted this in General category. Admins please move this to Q&A cat. Sorry, my bad.

Hi
Basically been having this problem for a while now and its starting to bug me. I rooted my phones ago now, and until recenlty the camcorder worked fine on all ROMS, however recently been facing a big problem with it. Every time I launch camcorder on any ROM my phone will freeze and have to take battery out and restart. I unrooted it and installed stock and it worked fine (so it can't be the SD card) re rooted again installed RSK and boom same problem. Does anyone have solutions to this?
Thanks in advance
If I remember correctly, the aroma installer gives you the option to change between two with a warning about one not recording. Also, have you tried another third party app to see if that works? You may also want to try taking the battery cover off and pressing (not too firmly) over the camera window and on the metal sheilding around it. It might have slightly disloged from the upper board but try the software first.
If you start noticing the notification LED, receiver (earspeaker) or camera flash not working as well, then it may need the upper board reconnecting to the main board and you should send it in for repair, but this is a pretty thin possibility, as I said, software first.
Hi,
I come to you for a strange problem...
From one week, I can't use the HTC camera app. When i launch it, I have a black screen. I thought the camera was broken but snapchat was working :/
So, I donwloaded an other camera app (google), and front and rear camera work well. But, if I start Htc camera app, and other camera, it will bug, I just have to close the HTC app and others apps work again... I tried to clear data app.
I Run ARHD 11.1, root, s-off...
Does anyone seen it before?
Thanks,
Allan
Edit : When I am on the HTC cameara app, I can activate the flash, take a picture (because I know where the buttons are)..But the screen is still black!
Same issue mate
I've cleared the data and still no joy other apps work just not the htc camera as its just black but I know it still works as I can hear it, what modules do you have running mate? I'm in viper one 2.5 and s-off
I also have a black screen on my Camera app htc one m8
Try to re-flash the ROM, with full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik).
Also, make sure your firmware is up to date.
I don't want to reflash tho as just got the phone how I like it minus the camera tho lol Google camera works I've uninstall htc m8 camera and reinstalled it fresh still no joy just a black screen maybe I'll wait for a update on the viper one rom, oh also the mini camera works of the viper side bar
I'm having this same issue in the same rom but when I use Google camera it says can't connect to camera
Do you have any screen rotation locks on?
I had this exact same problem and I looked all over for a solution with no luck. Other than a hard reset I had run out of options. I was deleting other apps that use the camera and checking back every time, and one time I opened the app and it worked for a few seconds before turning the screen landscape (I was still holding it portrait), then turning to black screen again. I checked my rotation lock, and it was locked to portrait. I tried unlocking the rotation and what do you know, it worked perfectly after that. I tried relocking the screen rotation to portrait, and the problem came back. I turned it off again, and it works perfectly.
Hey guys,
I have a weired camera problem and I coudn't find anyway to fix it
The camera was working perfectly fine until one day It started being unresponsive sometimes and now I got to the point where it rarely responds!!!
When I open the camera sometimes it just shows black screen and I'm unable to do anything then after about 3 secs phone reboots and sometimes the camera app launches but the viewfinder is just black and sometimes it simply fc's!!!
I tried several camera apps (manul camera....) but in vain!
My first attempt to fix this was deleting data and cache for camera app! then I made a factory reset then I tried updating to android N DP4 and then I rolled back and in vain!!!
Once the camera srops working it will not work again until I reboot the phone and after I reboot it the camera will work for about 5 minutes to 1 hour then the problem starts showing!!!
Hope yo Guys can help me solve the issue I really like the phone and I don't wanna lose it!
Thx in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would send it in for warranty or repairs if possible.
Did you managed to get it fixed? I have the exact same issue. I think it first started happening after the latest security updates. I hope it's not hardware related, this phone just came back from lg repairs for faulty digitizer.
i got the same problem. i just try to install the final version of android 7.0 and hope the problem won't show again...
i'm anyway quite sure it's not a hardware problem, cause when the camera works it works great and shoots perfect photos and videos...i think it's the last security pack update which causes these problems, and maybe the solution will be the new security pack update, of september
I had the same issue, and I simply couldn't fix it by any means. It just started to happen after 3 months of use, and came out of nowhere.
I had to return it, luckily it was amazon......
Really weird.
