Album issue with latest ROMs (2.03+)

Hi there,
I have been having issues with the New Album, the one with Social Network Engine. In portrait mode I cannot move on to the next photo by swiping the finger across. I thought it was to do with a particular ROM. Then tried different ROMs - the result was same. I tried, UdK, Cloudyfa, and Vic. All have this problem. Others seems to have no problem at all. There are a few out there with this issue as far as I understand. Anyone know any fix for this. My original ROM was 1.93. Otherwise all other ROM functionalities work fine.
Sorry to start a thread. But I did search but couldnt find any solution. I have been trying different ROMs just to get the album working. Help will be appreciated

no problems on my diamond.
running AZTOR X2 (2.03 based) with 1.11.25.01 Radio...
really fast and stable..maybe you should give it a try

Thanks for your reply. But one of the aspects of my question was not everyone experiences this issue. Not everyone on the ROMs which I mentioned above has this isssue. Some devices seem to get this. So, just wondered if there would be any fix..

well, this issue seems to be only in 21000+ roms not the older 20000+ ones.
Btw, does anyone know how to fix the the album rotation problem in the new roms? Help would be much appreciated

I was having this issue with Cloudy 1.0, then yesterday I installed PDACornerIlussion v4 and the album was working OK. But this morning, after having installed all my stuff, apps, reg tweaks, etc the issue has reappeared... or well, partly. I can move to next/previous photo both in portrait and landscape modes but the soft sliding animation doesn't work. The pics just change without any animation at all.

Strange. Initially, I thought it may be a problem with one of the programs I installed. But I tested few ROMs immediately after flashing only to see the problem was there with the fresh ROM

Give PDACornerIlussion a try, I'm 100% sure it was working fine after flashing...

[Q] Bad quality pictures and wallpapers CM7

I have a problem with quality of several pictures and wallpapers on my HTC Wildfire. Picture is fine and smooth for about 1-2s then it sharpens and become grainy, pixelized and generally speaking bad quality.
Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop. There are several white pixels. I was trying to use quick pick as well as stock gallery viewer and some other what i cant remember - still with no satisfying effect. On stock htc sense it was all perfect and smooth. I have found one matching topic on my local android forum and one on some english language - still no answer.
If anyone had simillar problem and solved it i am begging for reply it is very annoying. The worst is that picture is perfect before it will fully load (like i said 1-2 sec.) so it can be viewed perfectly. Is there any option to turn rendering/sharpening/or any other photo corecting effect in CM7?
HTC Wildfire
Android: 2.3.7
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1. BUZZ Stable
Kernell: 2.6.35.14-nFinity

Try using a different gallery (e.g QuickPic) and wiping the camera with a piece of cloth.

"Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop."
I agree with you on this one man. The quality seems to degrade when pic set as wallpaper.
I am going to check out custom-sense rom (either WildPuzzle or DK Custom ROM). Probably this might solve our problem.
Plus i am facing a few other problems like laggy status bar, laggy animations. Hopefully the two aforementioned ROMs will give a better experience.

And about wiping the camera it is not the issue of taken pictures only also when i upload some photos to my phone.

Yes it might be only way i didn't try... I like CM7 anyway so i thought here i will find the solution.

SOLVED! - Camera not working, tried several roms with no joy

First of all my appologies if this is in the wrong section...... As I don't have enough posts I can't ask the Dev's directly or even post in their threads....
I have a rooted and S-off unbranded htc desire. I flashed the LeeDroid HD port and everything was cool. Since then Ive gone on to Revolution 3D v1.5 again no problems at all.
The issue is with the camera, it wont work at all. this happened when i flashed Revolution v3 xmas edition. To be fair to Tamirda he's got a link labelled "camera fix" i flashed this and still no camera
Thinking this has got something to do with the kernel (as that was the only difference I could see after installing the camera fix) I've tried various other kernels but still no joy.
Since then I have tried re-flashing ALL of the Revolution roms (completing a full wipe incl sd/ext, dalvik etc) all work great but I still have no camera, Ive flashed RCMixS v2.0, still no camera and I've just this minute completed a FULL wipe and Nandroid restore that I created on the 26/12/2011, the day after flashing for the first time (LeeDroid HD port) when all was good, but STILL no camera
Any help or suggestions or even just a nod in the right direction would be MASSIVELY apreiciated as Ive been trying to solve this now for a few weeks
I've now re-flashed RCMixS v2.0 and I still cant use the camera.......
Heres all my phones current info:

Thanks again in advance, Tom.

Just to clarify.... when the camera/camcorder icons are pressed, sometimes the screen blacks out and the only response you get is by pressing the 'home' key exiting the application while other times the white camera logo comes onto the center of the screen but instantly disaperes and closes the app.
Ive also tried non htc camera apps purchesed from the market like 'pro capture' this took ONE photo and never worked again, when you try to use it it simply says 'cannot access camera'. I also have tried all other ways to access the camera like attach photo to mms and choosing camera instead of gallery and it still doesnt work.....

Don't know the answer, sorry
Please can you make the thread title more specific? "no camera since xxxxx"

Hi, thanks for the 'heads up' .. Ive changed the title to better suit the thread. I'm sure I'm over looking something, just can't think of anything else to try....

This is odd. To me, this seems to be some sort of a hardware issue. If i were you, i'd flash a stock 2.2 RUU and see if that fixes the camera issue. If it doesn't, then i'm afraid it's off to a repair center for you, my friend.
Three things:
- Maybe the recovery didn't properly wipe the partitions (happens sometimes) and some system files got fubared. Try wiping each partition 2-3 times before installing ROM/back-up and see if that fixes it;
- Open the back cover and GENTLY nudge the camera's "lens" with a cotton swab (the ones used for cleaning your ears). Maybe it's stuck (it should "float" - for focusing reasons) and the camera is reporting some sort of an error because of that and refuses to work;
- Please post a dmesg for the camera, if possible.
Mind you, you're not the only one with this issue. Check out this thread.

Ok cool, thankyou that gives me something to work with
Yeah Ive read some posts where people are saying that roms which use sense hybrids can cause this issue but none that Ive read seem to go much further than that. Tbh Im hoping it is jus a case of a bad wipe/install thats been made worse by several re flash / full wipe attempts....... Fingers crossed eh!
Will check out the link before I go any further and will post what happens next.
Thanks again, Tom

Ok, not great news but I know whats wrong with it....... Big thanks to TVTV for the link as thats where I found the answer.
Its a hardware problem having being dropped on its face a couple of times (DOH!) the floating lense doesnt float any more causing the ap to force close or sometimes stay on black screen. Gently tapping on the lense brought it back to life, briefly, but that'll be because its damaged and not software....... so yeah off to the shops I go
Thanks again TVTV

You're welcome!

Just a quick note...
Anybody who has this issue, with the same symptoms, can temporarily get there camera working again.
Take the battery cover off and have a look at the camera lense, you will see that there is a small , square piece of glass sitting on a slightly larger metal square frame. You need to GENTLY ease that metal frame away from the phone. On my handset the frame is joined at the top right corner, I used this join to hook the corner of my thumb nail under and lift it up by a FRACTION OF A MILIMETER MAX!
A good way to see if this is working is to start by pressing the camera icon untill it blacks out the screen, if you get somebody to watch the screen, or use a mirror, you will see the screen come back to life showing you all the on screen camera options and the image of what ever the camera is looking at as you GENTLY and ONLY SLIGHTLY pry the frame away from the phone.
It took me a night of fiddling with it using this method and so far I've been able to use my camera without faults..... Good job really as for now this has saved me a trip to the HTC service center, with no warranty
Before you try this though you MUST be incredibly carefull whilst moving this frame that holds the lense. You must NOT attempt to do this by touching the lense itself (small square shapped piece of glass) as this will more than likely break it, then its off to HTC which will cost a fortune if like me you've allready voided your warranty so BE CAREFULL!!
Hope this helps

Solved here also
Hi everybody,
I know this is old discussion, but I just wanted to confirm that I had a same problem with camera and flashlight not working, and with a half of hour dismantling I realized it was problem with the cable connection.
Gentle push, and everything is fine again!
Thanks for advice!

Hold the off button then press reset it worked on my HTC desire

Is your G-sensor working (auto-rotation)?
It happens due to g-sensor issue
Not working on mine either, but works on 4.1.1 since its camera app doesn't require g-sensor
on 4.2.2 you can download an app camera jb which works perfectly fine.

HTC had delivered app update for camera problem in Sense 5 (4.2.2), but pls note that is for fixing camera only not for G-Sensor.
Download: Camera APK - http://d-h.st/PUd

How did this 4.2.2 software pass QA?
This phone would be awesome but it such a pos.
1st wifi and bluetooth signal not working properly, then home buttons failing to light, auto rotate failing and now the camera cuts out before you can take a picture.
Reseting phone at times has allowed the home buttons and auto rotate to work in the past so i assumed it was a software glitch, now i know for sure that htc are completely useless at QA and dont care about the customer.
Completely stock phone except the wifi mod to add a piece of wire which worked for wifi but bluetooth is still poor.
10 months to go til replacement time

[Q] Camera issue M8 (no lastpass...)

Hello all,
First post, sorry its a question..
The back camera on M8 is making strange pictures, if any at all (see attachment).
Front camera is working fine.
Got my M8 for 1 year now, never had problems with the camera.
mm-qcamera-daemon is running high on batt usage.
Stock camera app will most of the time open and then close again, sometimes i can make strange pictures like above.
I don't have an other camera app running
It's rooted and i'm running
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
Android 4.4.2
HTC sense v6.0
HTC SDK API 6.17
I do know there are a lot of updates from the above versions. But its running so wel all these time that i don't need a upgrade (still up to 5 days on a full batt :good
I did clear the cache from the camera app, I don't have lastpass installed.
Does anyone seen a picture like this (except from a good/bad trip)? And how did they fix it.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

One of two things is going on. Either the camera module has gone bad OR you dont have the correct software to run the camera or that software has gone corrupt.
I see your running a custom rom so my suggestion would be go back to complete stock and re-test. If it fails its a hardware issue.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any clue if the same software is used for the front and back camera? Front is working perfect so that would mean a hardware issue.
I will start with returning to stock, quickest way to see if it's hardware related.

The camera modules are different. Back has ultra pixel and front is a megapixel.
Since its easier to change software it makes sense to go back to complete stock for testing. Then if it still fails its probably hardware.
