I have EVO 4g the white one with hardware 04 and software 3.29.651.5 rooted,
I have a problem with front facing camera, when I switch the cameras it wont switch and it will take me to the rear camera always, I tried to do that on yahoo messenger but the same problem goes on and on.
I have another EVO (my wife's) with the same above hardware and software versions and the front facing camera works perfectly, I need help with suggestions about what should I do to resolve this issue.
Regards to all.
What ROM are you using?
I used unrevoked to root it and I think the ROM in it is (RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15. 00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_rel).

ok, this isn't exactly answering your question, but i have a few of my own.
1: if you rooted, why are you still on stock rom?
2: do you even have superuser anymore because you ruu'ed?
3: why are you on a software that is so far out of date (months)?
4: why did you root if you had no idea what it does or how to use it?

I installed the Tmobile wm6 beta rom that was kicking around on here and it worked ok until I installed the HTC album software and my camera stopped working with the following error
Unable to initialise camera.
Failed to set up the camera device.
Not to worry, I thought, and installed the tmobile official release, assuming it would solve the problem. But sadly not
Any ideas? Is there a way to reinstall the camera part of the software, or will it be a hardware problem?
TIA

I've seen this problem on an HTC Typhoon I used to own and it indicated a hardware problem - bad luck...
Mind you, the camera's awful on my Artemis, very disappointed compared to the lower res but better quality Wizard one.
Hi to everybody, I got a rooted Desire and the camera it's not working, when I run the camera app i'm just getting a black screen.
I don't know why, I tought it was about the ROM I was using (it was Auraxtsense), then I tested OpenDesire, LeeDroid, and now I'm using a root stock 2.2 ROM but neither of them let me use the camera.
I'm using the radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 but I've also tried the last one I found here, the 32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14 with no luck.
Now I have the next:
HTC Stock ROM 2.2 2.10.405.2
Radio: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
kernel: 2.6.32.15-g6a358a9
In case that it's a hardware problem, I remember to read somewhere here that it exists a program so you can test your Desire hardware by typing a code, does anybody remember it?
Thanks in advance and thanks for your help.
Regards!
Did you wipe before each flash? If not try that first.

Yes, I've wiped all the times I changed the ROM.
Download Z-DeviceTest from the market and test your camera. If your camera hardware is working, you should see it's specs listed and the image seen by the camera shown on the top left of the screen.
If the hardware is not working, the camera module could be loose in it's socket on the phone's mainboard, or (more likely) you have defective hardware (either the camera module itself or the phone's mainboard). Try to get warranty repair from HTC.
If you don't have warranty, and want to tackle some exploration yourself, here's the HTC Bravo disassembly procedure (at 2:10 you are at the point where you can remove the camera; camera removal from the mainboard is at about 5:25):

...and here's the assembly procedure:

Fantastic, when I run that app the phone reboot itselfs, ****.
rete, thanks for your help.
Anyone else have the camera load to a blank black screen with no buttons in any and all apps that utilize the camera? Camera, Barcode Scanner, Sniper Shot, and all other programs that use the camera fail to load since the update. Anyone have any idea as to why?

Did you try a restart, I have heard of camera problems like this before (i think first FroYo update) and all it needed was a simple reboot.
Reboot didn't work. I reflashed the rom and BAM, it worked again. Crisis averted.
I have the same problem.
I'm running the following:
Azreal 3.0
circular battery widget update
removed HTC lock screen
superior battery charging kernel
wifi hotspot patch
I'm currently trying things to figure out what will fix it.
Here are the current things I have tried that did NOT fix the problem:
Reboot
Wipe cache/davlik cache
fix UID mismatches
I then reflashed azreal 3.0
At this point the camera worked again but everything was wiped. I then reapplied the following patches:
Circular battery
remove HTC lock screen
wifi/hotspot patch
after this everything continued to work
I then applied:
superior battery charging kernel and it broke again
I think the problem is the superior battery charging kernel
i am having the same problem and have not been successful yet fixing it. switched from cm7 back to stock to update my prl and tryed to use the camera while stock when the black blank screen happened. flashed to evdo(sense) and same result. flashed back to cm7 and the 1st time i opened camera it opened the ffc. when i tried to switch and everytime i have tried to open it since i get "camera error cannot connect to camera" help plz!
If you have HW 0004 phone or HW003 with the new camera, you have to make sure your rom has a kernel with the NEW drivers. The kernel in my signature has the new drivers for ASOP roms (like cm 7).
just flashed Savaged-Zen-V002-CFS-HAVS-SBC-WiMAX - GB.zip
with the same result running cm7. seems like ive tried 20 different things with no success. everything i have flashed has been off my sd meaning i have had all of it running before at one time or another with no problem. i really cant think of what ive done new to have caused this
Same here
Happened to me right after I flashed calkulins_format_all.zip and then the MikFroyo4.4.zip yesterday. I thought it was a problem with mikfroyo so I flashed Azraelz 3.1 and still the same issue (i was using azrael 3.0 with no prob prior to mikfroyo).
I'll post if I find anything that works, please also give any suggestions i'm willing to try anything b4 i take her to sprint.
I also flashed calkulins evio rom. When I flash back to stock it will start running again sometimes. Not even right away though. It will be black for a while then if I just let the phone sleep for a bit and come back to it bam. Camera again. For a little while. Then back to the same thing an hour later without doing anything! This is very frustrating! Someone plz help!

UPDATE
I turned my phone off and switched SD cards to one that has an old backup (3.29, kernel#11), when I booted into recovery, I could hear clicking noices coming from the lens, at a super fast rate (say 2-3 clicks a second).
Not wanting to do any more damage I turned off the phone.
I did just take my phone to sprint to fix my kick stand, maybe they did something to mess with me (thats just my paranoid side speaking)...
But what gives? What would make the camera shutter do that while im in recovery (btw using latest amon ra recovery)?
Howdy folks, first post
I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 I747Ms from Bell running stock 4.1.2, and have recently rooted both.
On the first one, everything is running fine, despite the horribly cracked screen.
On my better-condition phone, every time I try to use the front-facing camera, it hangs for 10-15 second then displays the "Camera Failed" popup.
It did not do this before rooting, I have flashed back to bell's stock 4.1.2 FW several times, all of which fixed the camera.
It only fails when it's rooted, so no hardware suggestions pls.
Anything I can do, such as copying system files from the good S3 to the other?
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide
I don't see how rooting breaks the camera?

If it's only a root and not a custom rom flash, then there's no reason your camera would stop working. I'm thinking hardware defect.

It turned out to be software somehow. Fixed it, but Still baffled.
I am currently running CyanogenMod 11 (M3) for t-mobile. I really need help fixing my camera. I was having problems with my camera earlier but now it is constantly force closing. Just recently the camera updated to Google camera and I was hoping the force would not occur anymore, but now it's even worse. If any ideas how to fix PLEASE tell me because I have many needs for the camera. This how the problem occurs: I try to take a picture and it will take it then it will freeze and I have to kill the app. Then I try to restart the app but I get an "Camera error: cannot connect to the camera." The problem was really bad after I flashed the ROM so I deleted that camera and flashed a "better" one. I try to use the other features of this updated Google camera but none of them work such as: lens blur, panorama or photo sphere . I would really love having these features working or even taking regular pictures without any force closes. I have to use the camera everyday so please help as soon as possible. Please anyone help me solve this problem!!!! (Current Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999)
Thanks for the help in advance!!

First thing I'd do is make a nandroid backup, then factory reset. If it fixes it then some data you had was causing the issue.
Next thing to try is copy the cameradata folder from a stock rom to yours. Reboot and test.
If that doesnt help i would then Odin flash stock/root66 firmware and factory reset. Then test the camera. If its still not working it may be hardware. If it works, you can be certain its software/firmware related. No sense in more troubleshooting if you determine its hardware related.
If it works on stock but not after a clean rom flash, the rom is likely the problem. Search its thread for similar issues.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for the reply I will try this! If the factory reset does not work do you where I would able to find the camera data folder for Stock S3 Rom?
Unzip any stock based rom such as StockMod and its in the system folder.
Help?!

The reset didn't work...I', trying to fix this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
This camera keeps freezing and then I have to end the task. After I end the task and try to go back to camera I get an "Camera error: Can't connect to camera." The lens blur and photo sphere and panorama are not working. Also, the camera is not taking the full screen when in rear facing camera but when I change to front facing the size becomes even smaller. Any idea how I can fix these problems? I am getting frustrated
me too!!

I figured it out...it was a ROM problem. I flashed liquid smooth 4.4.2 and it worked perfectly.

Ok, then, that issue would be fixed if I flash the latest nightly CM 11 Rom??

It is a possibility, you can try and see. I flashed a completely different ROM.
