Hi this is my first post on xda, and I'm really hoping someone knows how to deal with this issue.
First of all let me just say that CM7 on the Moto Defy absolutely rocks! I do have one small quirk which I've yet to find any other Defy + CM7 user complain on.
Whenever I use the stock camera app and set my flash to "On", the flash turns on and STAYS on (like a flashlight). When I take a photo, the flash turns off though and works normally for succeeding photos but only until I close the camera app. Once I open up the camera app again, the LED flash stays on again until I take a photo.
I know it's kinda nitpicking but it's been annoying the heck out of me since I flashed CM7 (no other complaints really....wifi works alright and I even managed to get wireless tether to work in infrastructure mode with a WPA2 passkey). I even signed up on XDA just to know if somebody else is even experiencing the same issue.
Anyways, hoping someone out there's got an answer....
Are you just on CM7 RC1v2 or did you install a nightly on top?
I noticed the same in RC1 but some subsequent nightly fixed that. I'm currently on cm7-110813-2132-NIGHTLY btw.
Just RC1, still hesitant to flash a nightly build....Do you think extracting the the camera apk from that nightly and pushing it to the system/lib folder will solve the issue? I once extracted a camera apk from a nightly (not sure which) just to get touch to focus....it works alright but the flash issue is still there.
I don't know but you could try.
However, I've installed every other nightly and haven't had any issues. I'm currently on
cm7-110813-2132-NIGHTLY - but I've seen some commend on the CM7 main dev thread that people are also very happy with cm7-110808-0622-NIGHTLY-Jordan.
tried replacing the RC1 camera with the one from cm7-110813-2132-NIGHTLY....flash issue still there, although now touching the screen to focus will turn it off. However, on the camera's first start, the flash stays on again just the same. Oh well, guess I'll just have to live with this minor annoyance (on an otherwise excellent ROM) until RC2 or the Final build comes out Thanks for the reply twa_priv!

The camera has stopped working randomly. The only thing I could think of that might of caused it would be the phone some how shut down when it was in my pocket. When I start up the camera app it immediately closes. When I attempt to use Google goggles, it says cannot connect to camera. What can I do?
First off you can give us some more details as to what software you are running. Are you on a stock Sprint ROM? A custom ROM? Did you install any software and then notice this change? Does this happen 100% of the time?
I'm running the stock 2.2 rooted odexed rom. Stock kernel. And haven't installed any new software to cause this...
I've cleared cache, dalvik cache, camera app's cache and it still doesn't work...
No one has any idea? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
It happens to me on both ava stock 2.2 and now netarchys 2.2... I have to wipe everything to get it back for a few hours... it just did it to me again do you have netarchys fps fix?

This is the craziest thing ever. The camera has returned to working after 10 hours of not working. I didn't do anything to get it to return. I will be continuing to monitor the camera to see if it happens again... This is the first time it has ever happen and the first time I've been on a 2.2 Rom for a significant amount of time.
This just barely happened to my phone too! Grrrr!!!
I'm running Fresh.02 + I tried flashing several kernels to see if it would fix it but none of them helped.
kernels I tried, latest versions of: kingX, snap, netarchy
Will try to do a full wipe and flash the stock 2.2 rooted w/o any fancy mods. <--- ok this fixed it!
Does installing the 3D Gallery app cause the Sense camera app to randomly stop working?
I'm getting the same problem again on a different ROM.
UPDATE: I've uninstalled 3D Gallery & cleared data on the Camera app and it still doesn't work.
i am having this same problem. have flashed several roms with no fix. cannot pin point when this happened either. really frustrating. ive done reboots, wipe, you name it.
happened to me

Hi guys
Any luck with this problem? I'm using a rooted xperia neo running [email protected] #2 with an unlocked boot loader - I've used Google goggles many times before and then today its coming up with "Cannot connect to camera. You may need to restart your device" and yet the camera is working because behind this pop up I can see the image that the camera is seeing. I've tried to take a screen shot of this but the screen shot uses the camera and therefore I blanks out the image through the back lens.
I've also uninstalled the app and reinstalled it - cleared all Dalvik cache - as well as moved it to SD and made it a system app - none of these trials have made any difference.

Are you sure there are no problems or known bugs with the rom you are using? Have you tried reflashing your rom? (it might be a pain to do, but something in the rom might have broke and it can help to start fresh).
I never post here but I have had a problem with my phone's camera that I fix by some random thread I found a while ago so I thought I would share what helped me. The thread stated it is something to do with the camera's connection to the phone and sometimes with drops or bumps of the phone it becomes loose. All I had to do was turn the phone face down, put my thumb over the camera and press down with some force. Not enough to break it but just to reseat the connection. After that, restart the phone. I have done this a few times and it has been successful ever time. I hope you guys have the same success.

That is correct, in some cases i have found the camera has come unseated. but it could also be the board.
Started using CM7 before nightlies were released, everything was fine. Now for some reason after flashing the first official nightly, my Accelerometer isn't working quite properly. I can only switch from landscape mode and back when I go into gallery and view a photo, then turn the phone while viewing a photo. However, any movements out side of gallery do nothing. Anyone else having this issue?
Not sure whats going on for you but my 004/Novatech seems to be working just as it should prior to nightlies and now with nightlies.

I'm on 003. I pulled the battery a few times and did my normal weekly restart and that seemed to do the trick for a while. Now it works like it should MOST of the time. Sometimes it still won't change unless i'm in gallery.
Hi guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been using CM7 RC2 without any issues, and recently updated to RC4. As soon as I did, my touchscreen lost a lot of responsiveness. Sliding open the drawer was no longer a simple swipe, I had to baby it along to get it to open, same thing applies to any other functions. Typing was a nightmare, because I had to press longer and harder on the screen to get it to recognize each of my keystrokes.
As soon as I switched back to my nandroid backup of RC2, everything's fine again. Any ideas? I've searched everywhere and can't find any mention of this problem, and didn't see it in the known bug list. I am using LauncherPro on top of CM7, might this be causing the issue?
Hardware 004, stock CM7 with default kernel if it matters.
THANKS!
Well I would recommend upgrading to the latest stable version, clean install, and see if that takes care of it first, along with the latest gapps.

Definitely would go with the stable release and you should be good to go.
So i installed 7.2.0RC1 on my desire and it worked perfectly for 2 days but i've noticed this morning that when im getting calls or messages the phone isn't making a noise and notifying me of this.
I checked that I wasnt accidently on silent and I wasnt, so checked volumes, all ok, and then I decided to look at the ringtones and select a different one and where each one is supposed to give you a little preview of the tone im getting nothing.
Im really at a loss, has anyone else had this problem or knows how to solve it, its handy being made aware when someones trying to contact me
I had this on the nightly prior to the RC1. Reboot and the ringtones should be back but you have to re-assign them I think.. and yeah it will probably happen again.

Tried rebooting and still nothing off previews or anything, its just kinda weird for a RC for this to happen, might have to go back down to 7.1.0 until the bugs are ironed out, thank god for nandroid.
Still might have a solution pop up here before i get round to doing that
Did you modify the rom? Change or remove ringtone files you don't need?
Even I had same problem various times. Rebooting solves the issue everytime.
I didn't modify the rom at all and rebooting doesnt solve it, come to think about it, its happening since i used a pair of headphones for the first time
Do you use any Bluetooth headset? Usually when I use mine it happens what you have described and the only quick fix was to make a reboot. I didn't tested it yet on CM7.2 RC1 but the issue was present in CM7.1 Stable.
I use Rings Extended, it`s perfect
Today I tested the CM7.2 RC1 ROM with my Bluetooth headset and so far it is working with no problems (no sound issues like you mentioned). Now I just have to see if it would also stay this way in the few days.
I also found that some users had the problem described in the first post when they were using usual cord headphones but so far I hadn't experienced any problems with them although I'm suing them almost every day since the CM7.2 RC1 ROM release day.
Hey there, I hope this isn't a recurring thread but I'm having a lot of trouble with this. The stock camera works fine as far as I see, but anything else, the front facing camera WILL crash the phone and make it reboot. I'm running CM10.2 now and I'm on the latest nightly. I don't really expect this ROM to be perfectly stable or anything but it worries me that I might be one of few that have this issue and it will never be fixed. Any clues? Is this something that is happening to everyone? Is there something I can do? Thanks!

This is happening to me too. I am running Bam Rom or Jellybam the latest release. The back camera works fine but when I take a picture with the front facing camera, the phone freezes makes a loud constant beep noise for like ten seconds then crashes forcing the phone to reboot. Sometimes it won't even let me access the camera and it says something like "Can't connect to camera" Please help!
