Camera - green capture screen instead of picture

Hey folks!
Datasheet of my device:
SPL 1.40 olipro Bootloader (Hard-SPL)
Previous ROM: Faria-R32 / Dr Puttingham WM6.1 STORM KLICK
With Faria-R32 cam worked perfectly.
Installed a several new ROMs today, then installed important apps for me over Device Update.
Problem:
The camera is working, but the screen is totally weired and green if I start the cam app. The menues are there, but it looks like a green tv with no right installed terrestrial antenna (Tried CoolCamera also, the same). What am I doing wrong?
No matter if camera app is included in the ROM or if I install over Device update...the problem's always the same...
Till yesterday everything went fine with cam...
Anyone a hint or is this a known problem?
Thanks in advance!

I had this problem also
I fixed it by opening her up and reseating the camera and little pcb board next to it.
It worked for me
Make sure when you close her back up that the closeup lever and backplate align.

i have the same problem
@MystaMagoo : you think this is a hardware problem? Could it be the camera driver?

No, opening the Trion and adjusting the camera system didn't help...
But there is something weired. When I intall Coreplayer, and activate ATI Imageon Video Output, I got the same weired green screen playing videos. If I switch to the others (DirectDraw...) I can watch the video.
Software issue?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
i jus got my camera working, i just made a new hard spl 3.28 and it is all good now!!!

Picasa incomplete photos upload issue

Hey folks,
I've recently found out that sometimes when I post a picture from the phone to Picasa it is not completely loaded, meaning the lower bottom of the uploaded pic in Picasa is grey. This happen only for photos that have a fine or superfine resolution (ie never happened for photos 640x480 or 1024x768) and then only for some pictures.
There is no error raised during data transmission from Desire.
Initially thought this was a data receive problem on Picasa server but repeating the upload from the phone of pic in Picasa looks still incomplete.
The same photo moved to PC and loaded from Picasa web interface shows no such issue.
I wonder if anyone else had the same experience and if a solution has been found.
I'm using HTC Desire stock (unbranded) firmware 2.1-update1.
Cheers

I've had this issue, same as you but with stock T-Mobile rom (with 3D Gallery installed)

I've had this issue as well....using gallery3d I think

me too. Stock HTC vanilla rom with the gallery from the nexus one installed. Only happened once, but when it did happen, that one photo repeatedly did the same thing despite looking OK in the Photo app - bottom third was grey.

Me too... Several times.

I am also having this problem with some photos after installing N1 3D gallery (with my previous Motorola Milestone and the same 3D gallery I had no such an issue).It is not just the gallery it is also whole picassa uploader - the same problem occures when i try to upload some photos from stock photo gallery to picasa.

Happened to me also.

Any solutions for this?
I tried to upload via wireless and 3g - same result.
Leedroid 2.2f, Radio 5.10.05.23

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Currently on a stock ROM on VZW Incredible, Froyo, updated PicasaTool app.
The grey bar on uploads essentially makes the app useless. Thanks
Dan

Same issue here, with desire, desire z and desire hd.

I have this issue with my T-Mobile Sensation 4G, too. Re-uploading the photo sometimes works (but not always).

i dont understand why doesnt google figure out this problem already

[Q] Just to Clear up about the whole Green Lens Whackadoo...

My sister (might) wanna install MIUI on her Motorola Defy. But if the camera doesn't work, it's a no-go. When we rooted her phone, suddenly the camera started acting weird, like it wouldn't show what the camera was pointed at (completely black screen, but it was capable of capturing the pictures anyway ) . And the video recording didn't work either. It didn't actually record video, but the audio was there. This was on the shipped, stock froyo rom.
If she installed MIUI on her phone, would the before-mentioned problems still be present? She doesn't care about not being able to capture 720p video,the only thing that matters to her is that it works.
A reply would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya christian iv got the green lens on standard froyo rom and my camera and video works great, have u tried wiping data and cache? Iv not tried miui rom but id like to no if people are having problems with camera or video on custom roms??
sent by my motorola defy xda app

Miui based ROM wajkiui has great camera. Video recording also works perfectly, at 848*480 CM7 recently has been giving me problems with video recording, so I've switched to wajkiui.
Last time I saw miui official thread, there seemed to be a few bugs in it. Read the thread if you want miui only and not wajkiui...

Just goto stock recovery n clear the cache...
Or use cust recovery to clear it...
Clearing the cache should fix it...

MIUI and other AOSP roms work on both lenses without a problem.

3rd party camera apps work, stock camera wont

I made a thread before concerning my camera when I thought my camera just completely crapped out for no apparent reason, but after installing a few 3rd party camera apps, I found that MY camera ISN'T as dead as I thought. This is where things just get weird: the stock camera app constantly force closes when I open it. I tried reinstalling, a battery pull , clearing the gallery data, everything logical, but to no avail.
Now, when I use the camera up lg camera, the rear camera works like a dream, but it doesnt recognize my front facing shooter. Ita the same thing qith the paper camera app. Ive had this issue aince 4.0.4 to 4.1 to 4.1.1 & now Im running a 4.2 rom.
At first i swore it was a hardware problem, but now i have no clue WTF it actually is... Please help! Im fed up!

By chance, you haven't frozen or removed the stock gallery apk have you? I believe those two (camera and gallery) are married to one another and need to both be installed to work correctly.

CM11 Front Facing Camera Aspect Ratio

I searched and couldn't find mind help with this. I also searched the cyanogenmod bug system. It has been mentioned in the bug system but it was basically brushed off.
Anyhow, in the stock camera app the front facing camera is fine. But in some third party apps, for example: snapchat, it's distorted. Only with the front facing camera. (took a picture of a coin which is a perfect circle and it comes out as an oval.)
This is on the most current cm11 snapshot and was also in the previous snapshot. Any known fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Really? No one has a clue about this???

I installed the latest snapshot awhile ago and recently i noticed that HDR was taking really dark pics no matter what in the stock app, and then I noticed that the front facing camera doesn't work in 3rd party apps, and hdr doesnt work at all in 3rd party apps. They either take blank pics or crash the app I've been searching for days and i cant find a single fix nothing. I'm sorry i can't be of help, just wanted to let you know I've been looking and can't find anything

I have the exact problem OP is describing for a while now. I would love if someone had an answer.
