My camera has stopped functioning all it will do is render pink static. I wanted to see if there was a work around before I do an rma for a refurbished phone. Any ideas?

Backup your current setup
Flash the EVO camera found in the Virtuous Extra Goodies section of Rom d/l in Rom Manager.

Unless it's a software problem, that won't do anything.

You don't have to send it in for a refurb. You could always just replace the camera if you wanted to keep the exact phone you have now.

I haven't replaced mine, but I did replace the front bezel and digitizer, wasn't hard at all. I would believe the camera to be even easier to replace. I think there was a thread on here showing you how to do it also, unfortunately I can't find that at the moment.

My dad's phone had the pink hue on it. I rooted it, wiped it, tried different cameras, etc. Didn't help. Had to get a refurb.
Can't help on replacing only the camera, sorry.
Just picked up a brand new Verizon Nexus off of craigslist for cheap. Guy that was selling it new nothing about it. Said the camera wont open. When going to open camera it says "Unfortunately Camera Has Stopped" or something like that. Did a factory reset and still same thing.
Im a current HTC Rezound user. I know nothing about Samsung phones. Although i did fix a buddies Galaxy 3G once.
Anybody have any ideas? Should i reload stock software or something?
I'd flash the stock rom, or any rom for that matter

I downloaded the Toolkit v7.2 and the stock imm76k firmware version. Im lost on what i do next to reload the factory image. Can you help me out?
Okay got it figured out. Still no camera. It has to be a hardware problem then right? Did i get screwed?
You, my friend, got screwed. It is, in fact, a hardware issue and your only choices are to get your money back from the guy (not likely), take it to a repair shop and have them take a look, sell it to someone else (shady), or deal with it. I had the same camera issue with my Infuse 4G. No software fix. Just broken hardware. Sorry to hear you got cheated, though.

I have only had this phone a few weeks and already the camera will not focus, could I have broke the focus by dropping it? Can software mess up the focus? Right now I am rooted running Liquidsmooth. I have reverted to stock and it does not fix...I know this thing can take better pics than what i am taking. Anyone know the default camera settings? I bought it at bestbuy, would I take it back their or the sprint store to get fixed? Thanks

Someone else had the same problem and then realized they had set their focus mode to macro and forgot to change it back. Have you checked that to rule it out?

Not normal at all. Seems like you have a defective unit. Exchange it while you can!
rooted or any mods? looks software based. try factory reset
Stock. Literally just got it then I updated software. I'll try that.
i went into settings and did a factory data reset. no go. didnt fix it. =( this sucks.
take back to verizon then its junk
i used odin to stock nj5 and it fixed the problem! =) thanks everyone.
Problem came back. I called Verizon they said I could walk in store to exchange it. I got a new one and now I'm good.

Good decision. A new phone should work flawlessly without you having to do anything. Glad it worked out!
I had the same issues cone to find out the digitizer was messed up
Hey guys,
So I'm trying to figure out why my HTC One is having camera issues all of the sudden. It seems to take video fine, but it has major issues focusing on anything more then a foot away. So this is making it very hard to take pictures of anything. I'm going to attach a picture of my car, and I can tell you that I clicked all over the screen trying to get it to focus on anything at all.
Some important info, I'm on the latest official firmware and on a ported version of Sense 7 (see my sig). I am starting to wonder if the issue started with the first 5.0.1 Lollipop build I tried, because I don't recall the issue when I was on the last KitKat build. Could it be possible the new lollipop software is not playing nice with the older M7 hardware? I asked in the ROM thread to see if anyone else was having the issue, but it did not seem to be an issue with other users.
So that leads me to my next idea, could the hardware have gone bad? But then why would the video camera be taking clear and focused video? It does not have any crazy colors like the known issue is with our cameras, but it just will not focus.
Let me know if you have any ideas for me to try, I would really appreciate it.
@Ahowe125
Have you tried going back to KitKat?
Typically when you try something that has been ported over, there will be at least one broken feature. For me, its always the camera. For someone else, its always the bluetooth. Everything else works fine for me.

As of right now, No I have not. I didn't make a backup of my old kitkat rom when switching to 5.0.1 so I'll have to go re-download and install it. Maybe It may not be a bad idea to try that, and then if the camera works try and install a fresh version of lollipop again.
Thanks for the idea, I'll try that later tonight.

I personally don't think flashing KitKat and going back to Lollipop is going to fix your issue, at least in my experience it has not. It's just this modified port. Once HTC put the official Sense 7 code out there, then maybe it'll fix it. But that's still going to be a m9 port. If there was an official Sense 7 lollipop for m7 then I can almost guarantee it'll work.
You can trying use HD or HDR mod for your camera

Thanks for the idea, I just tried this today and still no luck. Its like the focus is broken. I have not had time to switch back to KitKat. Hopefully I can hold out until April until LP firmware is slated to be released for our M7.
Also, just for the sake of trying, I downloaded the Google Camera from the play store, and it also is having issues with focusing on just about anything. More then a foot away it will not make a clear focus on.
So just a quick update, I tried all the different camera settings and it still won't focus.
Also, I finally had time to install a kitkat rom that I had previously used and knew the camera worked on. My phone has the latest stock kitkat firmware and my camera will still not focus.
It seems like its trying, as it will adjust for distance and I can see the mechanism moving inside the camera, but I for the life of me don't understand why it won't focus like it use to.
After that test I flashed the newest version of my favorite ROM and I'm not sure what to do/try now. Should I try to contact HTC? Would it even be something they would warranty or fix on this old of a phone?
Thanks for your ideas.
Well... I think this phone just might be showing its age or something. In the year or better I have had it, its been perfect. Now this week the top speaker decided to crap out on me. Its more then likely blown, as it makes a horrible rattling noise when any loud sounds are played. I tried cleaning it out and blowing with compressed air with no luck.
I guess maybe its time to upgrade to an M9. But this phone has been so awesome... decisions decisions.

I was hoping you had a fix for this since my mothers phone just starting doing this as well. I have no idea whats causing it.
For the camera, I have tried reflashing the firmware, installed new versions of both lollipop and kitkat OS and even tried different camera applications. I'm almost sure it has to be hardware related.
As far as the speaker goes, its almost always hardware as I've blown car audio speakers that had the same horrible noise. Not much I can do there. I did try the cleaning method with a toothbrush and compressed air with no change.
I also wish I had a fix because I bought this phone brand new and it's been amazing. I can't upgrade right now and don't want to foot the price for an M9. So I bought what looked like a very clean m8 from @tonyb81 on swappa. Should be here tomorrow and then I have to figure out what to do with this broken m7.

Yea I understand and i meant to say that she only has the camera problem and not the speaker problem. I have the same phone but have neither problem. I am thinking it is hardware problem as well since she uses her camera a lot more than I do.

It's really strange too, because it just stopped working one day. It wasn't intermittent or anything. One day it just wouldn't focus and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong or a setting was messed up. But nothing I tried worked.
I wondered if I should contact HTC about it and still might. But it doesn't help its been s-off and unlocked since before my activation. Once I get the M8 I think I'm going to try a few more things and maybe put it all back to totally stock.
If nothing else I might sell it as a parts phone or keep as a backup.

I googled the problem and it seems a few other have had the problem as well. So far they all seem to had to get new phones.

The camera and speaker problems are both hardware related. The camera is known for having the issues that both of you have run into and the only fix is getting the phone replaced. I had heard that HTC extended the warranty for phones with the camera issue but I don't know if this is true.
