I don't know for sure because this is the first time of me hearing about anything like this to the camera but it looks like it might be a hardware issue. I know you said that you've never dropped it or anything like that but did you happen to leave it in the sun with the camera facing up at it or anything like that?
If it's still under warranty then take it to the sprint store....After unrooting and going back to the stock rom of course AND they should be able to either replace your EVO or fix it if they know how to.
[EDIT]
If you feel up to the task of doing it yourself then here's where to buy the front facing camera for 17 dollars, I'm sure if you google it too, you'll find the know how to replace it without messing anything up too bad.

Thank you for the help Brother....its just wierd happened today all of the sudden...the last picture i was able to take was one of my new pioneer cdj 800 mk2s...i've only had the phone for less than a year so yes it should be under warranty
I wonder if its something to do with the light sensor??
Try to clear your cache+dalvik and then see if it works. If that doesn't work wipe your cache + dalvik then flash another kernel.
If that still doesn't work. Nandroid backup, and try flashing another ROM. Wipe data + cache + dalvik.
If all of these don't fix it, then its definitely a hardware issue.
Thank you for your help...i tried all your suggestions and no luck....i think there is an issue with the light sensor or the focus because it only happens when its auto focusing must definately be a hardware issue...going to unroot to take to sprint store...Thanks

Give rooting a try lol it looked like a someone stuck a magnet to it. If you root it and it does it again then unroot and take it back.
0004 had something fixed with the camera or so I read on google. Not to much info on it.

Here you go man Amon 2.3 put it on your sd card and boot into hboot and let it install it. This wipes everything so no problems like others have using roms.
Can flash and backup things with it also.
I like Elite 3 seems to be my favorite of all times there are to many new builds out there of the leaked GB thing there too buggy.
Myns is good so is Elite 3.
PM ME if you need help bro.
Take it to a Sprint repair location and have them push the camera module back down onto the board. That'll fix it.

This entire thread has been helpful for me! THANK YOU ALL!!!!
Funny that you mention this issue. I had the same exact problem. I skimmed through the Net and find this quick fix.
Launch your camera and press menu. Uncheck autofocus and face detection. Exit camera. Problem solved.
For the record, these setting will stay this way until you either change your rom or change the settings again.
I hope this helps.

So I took the CM9 rom, deleted a few things, changed a few things, messed around changes A LOT of things actually...
But I did this all on Windows believe it or not, so without further explanation this rom needs somebody elses work on it to make it flashable.
I did this for my Epic 4G, and the results were amazing, especially battery life.
This rom; once it works, should free up a tleast 5-10 or maybe more ram. And you should be getting an 1-5 hours more battery life.
So here is the rom that needs work.
Please do not flame me for this, I know I did not make this rom from scratch, all I did was make a few changes for it to be better.
***For the devs who want to work on it: The problems I am concerned about is that I changed the build.prop and the update-script so you will have to double check to make sure that it is ok.***
Notes: I did change one minor(its actually major) thing that might effect everything, I do NOT have an Epic Touch yet so I do not know if it is laggy or not. I am trying to buy one currently.
I did this for my Epic's rom a while ago, so I had the option of 2 things to do to that certain thing, one option is laggy but gives more ram, the other option is smooth as a mofo but a lot less ram. Don't ask what it is, I won't say, I'm sure somebody will figure it out and tell everybody.
This rom needs to be fixed in order to be flashed, thank you.
If I posted it in the wrong section move it or remove it. I posted it here because I didn't CREATE the rom, and I didn't want any trouble.
I took cold medicine that helps me sleep so I am very drowsy now, this whole thread might not make sense, but I wanted to put it up before I went to bed so when I wake up it'll have posts.

Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!
saved us a lot of time here for whoever has that issue in the future.
can you provide the link to Chainfire's unroot procedure?
thanks!
Good to know but youcould have got straight to the point rather than writting five pages of useless stuff then saying something that to be honest is not any special invention anyways.

Sent from my SGS3 Stock Rooted & Odexed
I love this thing!
The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

This fixed my GPS too. Triangle away and then flash stock NON ROOTED firmware and GPS will come back...NOW hopefully this fixes my weird battery life too. About to root again and shoot right back to PA android and see if it works there. Wish me luck
Edit. Yup it works. Went straight to pa android

Ok so i finally unrooted using above steps. Still no gps. Tried GPS Toolbox, GPS Test and the google navigation. Nothing.
What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....
Thanks for the help.
What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

HAHA funny, i actually did it EXACTLY like that. I tried a stock ICS ROM from wildchild and nothing. Then Triangle away, ODIN flash to stock with un root and factory reset and nothing.
If i wasnt getting lock, that would be different. But im not getting the little Icon in top left corner.
I have a friend with a Stock Sprint phone and his works in same room.
Thanks
Sucks cordell... Sorry you're not getting it working.
Only thought I had if I followed you correctly is you said you went to a wildchild stock. Maybe you need to go back to the older stock from the link that worked for osmosis and I?

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
Thanks.
EDIT>>> Just did the OTA from Tmo and back .. Yes GPS back,
Thanks minigame
Hey all,
i have a little problem since the world wide update for 4.1 JB - when i take pictures the flash causes the picture to become green! i know its a problem with Custom roms but mine is an original update from the server. the pictures looks like it was taken at the Matrix..haha
well its nice for effects but for real its annoying...how do i get rid of it??
BTW uploaded a pic when i tried to snap shot the cover for a friend of mine
thank you!
Another one confirming same problem as i have, and i have seen people with HOX+ also having this.
Problem seemse to be KERNEL related. ICS works great on my phone with flash but when i load any version of JB Sense i get greenish images like yours.
This is a REAL PROBLEM but apperantly no-one is noticing it besides me and some isolated users. Either people dont notice ( how can you not?) or they dont use flash that often.
I realy hope the .27 build fixes this. If i get official JB and this problem persists i realy hope HTC gets around fixing this.
Btw. this seems to be a problem with handsets all the time, small problems but still something in particular HTC have a issue with.
I can confirm this is NOT a HARDWARE issue, changing kernels fixes it so it has to do with post processing - a B/W image looks just right but with the green boosted up way to much.
Try change sarturation to max/min aswell as iso 100/800.
tnx for your answer!
its obviously not HARDWARE problem, because the regular pics goes perfect!
i tried it all - non worked its still the same...
i guess ill be waiting for a new update to come or maybe go rogue and install an unofficial ROM...
the same Something with software.
thats not fun \=
well i have posted a new question for help on HTC main Facebook page, and showed them this thread i hope we all get final answers for that itchy bug :cyclops:
Same problem
I have the same problem with stock JB...
It's software and to do with the flash bleeding, on SLR you get a florescent filter but try this.
Go take picture again this time press the cog and go to white balance, change that from auto to florescent.
Let me know if that works, I can't get mine to do it to test.

I am trying to figure out how to add 180 degree rotation. I am on the wicked x7.3 Rom. I love the Rom, would like to add this for when I use navigation. I charge the phone when using nav and put the phone in my cup holder. Can't place it the right way due to the charging cord. Anyway, it did work with the xposed firmware,however I was getting SystemUI process. When making and receiving phone calls.
I don't have enough posts to post on the wicked Rom page.

you can do a bunch of BS posts like saying hi to everyone that's how i got the posts i needed to finally post in the Dev thread and im on 7.2 let me see if i can make this work for you
edit:which Module did you use?
under wanam Xposed, then under system, then under enable all rotation including upside down (about halfway down)
Not sure about wicked, but yea, xposed with wanam does 180. I'm not having any issues though, with running xposed/wanam.
You may want to try Nova launcher? That'll get you a rotating home screen...

Again, it works when I do this, but then the phone calls get messed up. I found some old post with a file to put in the build.prop. it did nothing for me though, nothing changed.
To 180 degree
windowsmgr.support_rotation_180=true;
maybe the code is different with this ROM, I have no idea.

what exactly happens with your phone calls cause i have it working with wanam in xposed and my calling is good
edit: re read your OP does this happen when your phone is upside down? or in every direction?
I am currently using APEX, it also allows home screen rotation, but it only goes to landscape, not 180 degree. I will try to install NOVA later tonight or tomorrow and see. Thanks for the idea!
com.android.systemui or something like that. I can re install and let you know if you need the exact. This is when I hit the dial button or when I receive a call. I can't answer for several seconds until the screen refreshes.
It happens in any direction.
I have to wait 5 min between posts I guess, So my responses are slow, I apologize.
I am leaving work in a few also, so won't be able to respond while driving of course.
I appreciate your time by the way.
Either way, your helping me reach my 10 posts!!! So thank you for that also.
So I went back and unchecked everything I could in Wanan, then checked lock screen rotation and enable rotation, then installed with Xposed. Now all is well. I will do one thing at a time now on and test as I go.
There were several things checked by default I think? So something was corrupting the UI I guess. I will update if something changes, thanks for all the input.
