If anyone has encountered this or knows of a fix, please help me!
My camera app (as well as other apps that use the camera, such as Google goggles) are not functioning properly. The camera on the phone is making a noise as if it is opening and shutting, and the picture on the phone is blinking on and off. To top it off, the apps start to freeze when this happens, which makes me think that the app is having problems initializing the camera, and it may not be just an app issue. It also has the same problem with the front camera, so both back and front are doing the same thing.
Any ideas guys and gals? I could really use some help here, I rely on the camera multiple times during the day at my job, so I need it to function.

is it the speaker in the phone making a shutter noise or the physical camera? im pretty sure there are no moving parts in either cameras..

I sent my phone to repair because some issues with the speaker. In the moment I got it back I flashed it with Froyo FR and I realised that the camera was not able to focus it didn't even make that sound or whatever, it just takes the pictures without focus. Do you guys think that it could be a software or a hardware problem?
Ive experienced this before. But in my own exp. It is either the subject is moving fast, you are too close to the subject especially if flash is on, or there is little contrast or light.

No, it is nothing like that. Before every time I launched the Camera it made a sound, and right before to take the picture as well. Now I cannot even focus when I want to read a QR code with the Code Reader.
Did they fix the front facing camera's awkward orientation yet?
Not really sure what you are referring to, but my front facing camera seems to work as normal on EF02
Whenever I tried to use a video chat app it would rotate everything 90°

I've noticed that, while it may sometimes appear rotated to you, it's not always rotated to the receiver (or they may just rotate their device assuming it's supposed to be that way).
whenever i exit from the camera app after taking a photo or playing around with it makes a weird clicking noise when i exit it by clicking the home button. it seems to be coming from the camera area.
is this normal, does it happen to your arc too? can you hear your camera "focusing" when trying to focus on images?
i'm a bit worried something might be damaged because my arc has taken a few bumps while at work.
There is nothing wrong with ur phone, it's normal. Happens to all of us.

I haven't seen anything about this, but my rear camera occasionally goes entirely black. At first I thought it was a problem with the 4.3 roms, but it's started happening even with TW Roms. At first I attributed it to having the Nottach framework on there, but that has been removed and I still have my camera black. Front camera works just fine. I may have to go back to stock and see if it is broken to see if it's a physical issue with the phone, but I thought I'd ask and see if this was well-known first.
Edit: If I put the camera in "Panorama" mode, the camera activates, but it is all out-of-focus. I'm thinking this means it's a software issue. Using Wicked v4 ROM.

I'm stock never rooted and my vamera blacks out sometimes where closing tye camera app doesnt do anything so I have to restart my phone to get it right again. I would like to know if this is a common thing or if there is something wrong with mine as well

In case anyone else is having this problem, I eventually solved it. I flashed Infamous then Wicked v5.1 - camera was still black on both of these. Opened Google Edition Camera photosphere and started taking the pictures and that fixed it somehow. Not sure what the hell was the problem, but it hasn't been an issue since then.
Ok i am going to try to describe the problem. In the camera app everithing works but when switching to the front facing cam it freezes and it says camera aplication stoped working. I have tried in several apps, roms, kernels and the problem remains. Is it a hardware problem? And another problem is that the back camera pictures look kind of crappy (blurry) i bought it used a few months ago and it keeps bugging me. Is there a way to fix it?
I think it is a hardware problem

I have the same problem, but on the back camera. I think it's a hardware issue.
My front camera caused the same issue. Getting the app to work required stopping the process so it would default again to the front cam. This was about 6 months ago..
I just tried it again and the front cam works... Kind of. Images are blurred and screwy.
Gonna say it's a hardware issue?
