Weird camera problem?? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So ever since I received my Evo I have had a weird camera problem when I start it up its all purple and strange looking...and I was just wondering if I should have sprint look at it or if its normal when I push the camera down it makes it look normal

Go into applications and force close the camera app. If that doesn't work hard reset the device.

Do that, or you may have to change the contrast settings. I know that happened to another user...otherwise, your camera may be broken.

Your camera is separating off the board. It will eventually fail completely. I'd get it repaired under warranty.

Camera

I guess it is just my phone, that makes my camera doesn't work with any Rom, it work for a while and then it stays on black screen, man I'm getting use to it

Dude, there has to be something you're doing wrong to cause this as we figured out last time it does work. Unroot and reroot again for peace of mind. There's no way your phone's camera just doesn't want to work with rooted roms. Let's take a pause and figure out what you're doing to break your camera. If its a black screen then that's good; if its pink or yellow that's not good.

Na its just black, it was working today since the morning but, then when I went to use it like at 5pm it stays black I get so.mad LOL but damn idk man wth is this

I've told you this in another thread man. Download your rom again, wipe EVERYTHING and run it with the stock kernel. Once again, if it works on some roms I believe there's something that you're doing man. Your camera is clearly not broken so let's get to the bottom of this. What's your set up?

I'm looking into this rom now! I'm downloading it to see what's the deal. If I remember you have a 0003 and I have a 0004 so our phones should be pretty similar in hardware ; not including what type if screen you have a nova or epson. Gimmie like 5 or 10 mins im going to test it for myself.

80% done! About to flash in a sec. So what exactly isn't working for you? Camcorder supposedly force closes for everyone and camera is a hit or miss. I will report back in a bit.
Edit: you do know that this is a work in progress for sense 2.1 so not everything will work perfect. If you're looking for a "perfect" sense experience you might have to just use a froyo 2.2 based rom.

Have you tried going to applications then manage apps, then find the camera apk and select "clear data" on the camera.

Yes I did. I booted up about 5 mins ago and my camera is working. No blk screen man wtf lol. Why don't you try getting a logcat. Do you know how to use adb? If I were you I'd get a logcat started then let it run and try to open the camera app a few time while the logcat is running. After you do that I would post it in miks thread so many devs can look at it to diagnose what's going on!

Here hausx just posted this in another thread. Run adb from your comp.

If you can get a logcat. It's 'adb logcat > logcat.txt' to do it, run that and end it by pushing Ctrl+C to stop it.

Logcats will tell devs why its black screening man. (Get the logcat upload it to pastebin.com). Logcats are very long but pastebin will take care of that.

Dock mode won't shut off

So my phone looks like its in dock mode?!?!
The clock app displays/loads for no reason, even instead of lock screen. Every time I answer my phone, it answers it in speaker mode...
I'm running aokp m6, I even tried a restore from before this issue, but it still here.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you may have corrosion somewhere, possibly a port...those are pretty common symptoms of some type of minor liquid damage that we see come in
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Like the usb port?
Any suggestions on cleaning it?
Thanks for your response/help!

Suggestion? Take it into one of our Service and Repair stores lol.
If you really want to try it yourself, you need denatured alcohol with very high alcohol concentration. We also finish up with a gold contact cleaner, but I don't know where to get that.

Pinch and zoom on stock ROM

So I've been looking around for a way to pinch and zoom on the stock messaging app on my stock ROM. I am rooted. Any help?

Pretty sure it doesn't do that, and no way around it AFAIK.

Yup, never heard of messaging app capable of doing that.
There has to be a way. My friend has the One X and she can do it stock. What I guess would work as a work around would the app, when a picture is tapped, save a temp and open in gallary. That's what the One X does.

Occasionally I will get a text that when I tap to open the image, it opens in Gallery, and allows me to do those exact same things as I could inside the Gallery app.

But what build are you on? Are you rooted? Did you update? If so how? (Ota, Odin, cwm, twrp)
Did you try factory reset again?

I'm completely stock, I did the ota update a few weeks back ,(the T999uvalh2 ),I haven't done a master reset again. I just got everything set up again lol, just wanting to get some info before doing another reset,

You can try this if u want.
In the dialer enter this code:
*#34971539#
The camera firmware menu will open. Press the first button Cam Phone fw check
If the cam fw is different from phone fw you can then press Phone to Cam fw Write
This will update your cameras fw to current.
May or may not fix your problem, but could be worth trying.

Um what's the 'issue'?
Are you on "Touched By SGSIV V 1.4"?
What is the fix you tried?
There is a link saying it might fix it when you go to rec it freezes and force close the rom has two cameras on it because of that issue not a big deal just wanted to get some feed back to see if someone knows

Just delete the camera apk that doesn't work using Titanium Backup or a root explorer.
