Camera not working :( - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My camera stopped working after flashing Leedroid 2.2a! I have been using RCmixHD for the past 10 days and after reverting back to my old rom it doesnt work anymore! I've tried switching sd cards erasing everything, I also make sure to wipe before flashing. Any help on this? Everything works except the camera, I'm trying some other roms at the moment and will update asap.
*I've tried loading a different version of Leedroid and opendesire and it still doesnt work! Camera just initializes but I am greeted by a blank screen!
Anyone that can help me??? I am getting mighty desperate. Could it be a possibility that the camera is broken? Everything else is working just fine.

I’m not sure it's your ROM mate. I reckon the camera's gone. As long as you fully wiped and the camera isn't working on any ROM I cant see how it can be a software problem?
Have you retried flashing a new radio?

Tried reformatting the sd card and removing partitions. The last time my camera worked was before I tried out the new sense roms 2 weeks ago lol
Will try to flash a new radio, I guess that's the only thing I haven't done since I've tried with a new kernel.
Just my luck

I have a sneaky feeling it could be the radio? I can't see if you haven’t dropped it or anything, why the camera would suddenly break. I also can't see how a ROM could break it either but hey... fingers crossed.

Should be radio related. Flash the couple of radios

Hmm, hope not...somebody will get a heart attack if we find out that custom HD roms can eventually break the camera : /

Try flashing an official RUU, it may fix all the problems.
I hope it's not caused by the HD rom, because a lot of people will cry, including me.

I've been messing around with RCMixHD 0.9a, attempting to use the camera too. Flashed back to stock Froyo with no problems.
I hope you get it working. Good luck.

Can you post a logcat report of the bug?
Do you know how to do them?

the same thing happened to me a few weeks back except the camcorder worked but the camera app froze the phone and it was the same on most new roms but i flashed the oldest official firmware i could find and the corosponding radio that i would have had at the time, then all worked again, upgraded everything and it worked fine, still dont understand what happennned tho :S if that dont work then i would prob recomend to unroot and do an official ota upgrade then re root maybe

I've tried reformatting the system from the recovery still no go. The camera and camcorder now works but no image comes out, just a black empty screen. Tried multiple radio with multiple rom combinations now. Will try to flash an official rom now..
Thanks for the input guys, keep'em comin!
BTW how do you flash official roms?

please read, hes tried that many times.
to RUU just boot to fastboot and run the exe from windows and wait patiently

I'm sorry I'm a noob. Do I have to adb or stuff? So I connect my phone, go to fastboot and then just launch .exe? That simple?
and do I run the gsm wwe edition first and then run the OTA update? or go straight to the OTA? or do I forgo the OTA update?
thanks guys!

Ok now this gets even stranger..
I was about to ruu the phone and everything suddenly started working again! I just took out the batteries, swapped SD's again, reformatted my old SD (for the gold card), put back my other SD and powered on. Everything works! 10 outta 10! I did not flash any radio or new roms since last night!
This makes me wanna sell my phone and get a new one! Any idea how this could have happened?

Not to point out the obvious, but were any of those 20 the shipped ROM? I've made that mistake before and thought something wrong with the phone. I would try to flash a stock ROM and try again. Good luck friend. Here's the link to the stripped version I use from veyka. Here
which rom did you like best? i do not want to flash 20 roms to find the one for me. all i want is 6.1, touchflo and some basic apps, but it is very confusing to figure out which one to flash.
Thanks to communicate that fast, but i was using the Crc's ROM for so long and it didn't make such an error!!!
is it a must to use an official ROM???

well, it's not technically official. It's been stripped of the radio and some of the "stuff". You can flash to the link I gave you and then back to another and see if it still hangs. Doing this has helped me before. When you flash the stock ROM it basically resets the memory of the phone to like it was from the original carrier. Just flash it and right after flash your preferred ROM.
Thanks alot, i'll try and feedback...
OK, i tried it, the same problem...
Maybe its a hardware problem? Flash IC or something like that???
I had this same issue starting last week. Never had the issue before. I flashed a new rom, then a few days 3 I think later my phone started to get stuck at loading. I would re flash the same rom, and a few re starts later it would happen again. Tried a new rom with the same results. I was using a rom with Build 21109 when it started.

To explain:
To make a big storage rom, we "break" the structure of the rom, removing the extended rom/main storage pool barrier.
Over time, this leaves the file system "dirty", think of it like a 3year old windows XP install, slow, and iffy.
Flashing a OEM rom, or my stripped rom, is like reformatting your HDD, it lets WM install fresh.
When i did rom testing, I used to flash 20 roms a night sometimes, before i restored back to my stable config, I always flashed that stripped AT&T rom, I never had a random hard reset.

Well, some people have never had a problem, even going from BS > BS rom, others Hard Rest the moment they flash a new rom, As i always say, I used CRC's roms as my stable, and flashing a oem rom when i wanted to keep the install for longer than 20min always worked for me!

Tilt2 tethering help

HI im having some very big problems with my tilt2. I can teather it fine but for some reason after a day or two i get the remote party has ended the connection, and no matter what i do to it, weather it be uninstall the script and speed patch and reinstall it, it wont help. so i have to format the phone and load it all over again and it works fine for about 2 days tops. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I seem to be formatting this phone every 2 days just to get it to teather.
i had the same thing happen to my kaiser with the stock att rom what i did was flash the rom and radio. after that problem was gone never happened again. you can also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538874
i don't know if this is of any help to you. After you get the error message can you still connect with active sync?
nope
after the errormessage i cant connect on the internet at all, i have to formatt the phone and reload everything to get it to work again
Rom and radio
What rom and radio do you reccomend for the tilt2 thats stable
i remember getting that error on my blackjack, it was mostly because i let it idle and data disconnects when not in use. its not like its a stable connection. if you wanted that you buy the crappy little usb card.

if you're new to flashing i suggest you go here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 it helped me out alot
Possible solution
The above mentioned "idle" problem is more than likely your culprit. I had a similar problem as well with the stock ROM. I suggest using NRG's Leo ROM to fix this problem. There are other solutions, but they are pretty tech savvy ones. Plus, if you haven't flashed your ROM yet, dude, you don't know what you're missing. The whole reason we're here is to push our phone's to the limit as far as functionality is concerned. Stock ROM's don't even cut it. Give a new one a whirl, I promise you won't be disappointed, plus, your reformatting issue will be gone as well, just a heads up from someone who's been around, you know?

[Q] Cyanogen Desire HD Problem

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with my Desire HD, its been rebooting itself occasionally, maybe once every 2-3 hours. I've got the latest recovery and latest radio, I've tried other ROMs and I'm still having this problem, other than that, it's great, so smooth and fast!
Can anyone help please?!
I'm very new to all this so please be patient.
Radio version is -26.04.02.17_M2
Cyanogen Version is: CyanogenMod-7-03022011-NIGHTLY-DesireHD
If you need any more information please let me know.
Thank you in advance
Try the cm7 release candidate 1 as that is more stable and not as buggy.....same thing really as nightly very minor changes aesthetically.
Right okay i will do. I had the exact same problem on the RC1 aswell .. But I'll try that and let you know..
Thanks for your help

Before flashing whatever you settle on, be sure to wipe /cache /dalvik-cache and /system from within clockwork recovery as it may be left over chaff in the directories causing the instability, BEWARE though this will wipe all your user data.
Yeah I will do,
Thanks Pal
It might be a hardware problem. I know there has been issues with the sim card slot. Make sure your sim is in securely and even secure it with a small piece of card or paper jammed in with it. This solved the problem on my friend's dhd. Hope this works for you. Please post your results.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Hi there everyone, just a quick update.
None of the other roms iv tried seem to be having an effect, and as for the memory card and sim issue.. Im doubtful as it never had any issues before i rooted it and put cyanogen on it.. my next step is to try a different radio.
Does anyone have any other suggestions??
Thanks.
Also i forgot to mention, it only appears to reboot when i recieve a message, but, only when there's a message and i havent opened it or unlocked it, when its been there for 5-10 minutes, then i'll press the unlock buttin and that's when it'll reboot. But it only ever does this when i press the unlock button..
Don't know if that's significant or not..
yeah, ive also noticed that it reboots ever as often..
i didnt take it on until i read this post..
also what ive noticed is that when it reboots, my keyboard setting goes back to default i.e. from swiftkey (which i have to set after it boots) to the android keyboard..
did anyone else come across this?. any suggestions?

I'm having a very difficult time understanding your writing style and need to clarify.
So far as I understand, you originally had Venom ICS flashed from the latest 4ext. After a few days or a week, half of the screen began flickering. I believe you then rerooted the phone? Then you full wiped (so that's system, data, and cache). You then flashed JellyTime R29 from CWM 5.0.37. The problem showed back up after a few days or a week again. Is that accurate?
Have you flashed any other ROMs? Has the phone been dropped or taken any other damage? Have you tried flashing a stock ROM? Have you had any ROMs on which the problem didn't show up? Did you have this problem on stock before rooting?

Assuming you did a full wipe of system, data and cache I can only guess that it's a hardware problem. It persists across multiple ROMs, so that's my guess. See if anyone else has a suggestion.

Wait, you didn't say that before. Have you messed with the auto brightness settings before? Try turning it off; is it still a problem? When you say flickering do you mean the back light? Or graphical glitches? Or something else?

The persistence across ROMs (and I'm assuming that you haven't messed with settings) suggests that it's probably a graphics hardware issue. I vaguely remember someone else having this problem but can't remember who; I'll ask around. Unfortunately I'm not from the Philippines, so I don't know where you can get it repaired.
I think gizmoe knows the answer to this one.

You can private message him here on the forums. His username is Gizmoe.
You can also search for the answer in the dhd and inspire forums, to see if it shows up.
I'm guessing gizmoe may not know the answer since he would have surely posted something in this thread by now. I may be wrong about that as I may also be wrong about him knowing the answer.

boot issues CM11 M10

Hey guys !
I haven't used my DHD for a while but last weekend a friend lost his phone and asked me to borrow my good ol DHD.
So I thought I would update it to CM11 but there seems to be an issue with it.
I made a clean install of CM11 M10 Rom with PA gapps Pico
I had troubles booting but finally worked after a while. Managed to install some apps and gave the phone to my friend.
I told me today that the phone wouldn't stop rebooting to the HTC screen but wouldn't fully boot.
I'm not so much familiar with what's going on with the DHD since I haven't used it for almost 2 years.
I've search the thread of the rom but couldn't really find anything.
If anyone has an idea on what might but the problem, it would be great to know so my friend can have a working phone.
Cheers !

If S-ON than it's obvious. If not than out of my league. Probably update recovery or radio could possibly sort out your problem.
Though can you please share Hboot image of your device.
No, as far as I know it's s-off. I updated recovery before flashing. Don't know about radio. And I don't know how to share Hboot either...
