Desire Camera Problem

Last time i used my camera on my desire i noticed something strange:
i pressed the volume up and down buttons ant the screen starts flickering in a strange way. after this it turns purple and stays purple until i end the camera application.
i use the original stock froyo rom with root, market and camera fix.

I have exactly the same problem

instal Vanila ROM or better OD od Cyanogen for best result with camera
& also with Android

i would suggest trying a different radio version, newest if your not running it. if you are, go back a version.

I've had the same issue, it seems quite common, nothing has fixed it apart from sending it back to the place I bought it. I'm on my 3rd desire now, and this one is going back for the camera glitch fault too, 1st one had no camera flash, 2nd one camera purple screen glitch, and 3rd one the same camera glitch.

HTC are aware
I too have this problem.
I reported it to HTC and they have escalated the issue. They said they have had 2 reports of it(!)
So any of you guys want to report it to HTC too, it may up their priority to resolve it!
workaround - If you set your phone to airplane mode before you use the camera, it should be OK

i dont have this issue, running rooted stock 2.10, my radio in my signature

[Q] Shaky screen on finger touch

Especially when i scroll up or down in browser , when i stop scrolling nd hold my finger on the screen, it starts shaking after a few seconds. I ve brought my tablet to service and told them about the problem and they changed what they call as Lcd bant(band) . My problem still exists afterwards. What should i do about it. I kow it a known problem but is there any solution that i can apply as software or should i ask for a replacement ?

I've had this issue on android 4.3. Since 4.4 there is no such problem, so maybe try update?

I updated to 4.4 but it only decreased the level of shake thats all

Camera frusturating problem

Hey guys,
I have a weired camera problem and I coudn't find anyway to fix it
The camera was working perfectly fine until one day It started being unresponsive sometimes and now I got to the point where it rarely responds!!!
When I open the camera sometimes it just shows black screen and I'm unable to do anything then after about 3 secs phone reboots and sometimes the camera app launches but the viewfinder is just black and sometimes it simply fc's!!!
I tried several camera apps (manul camera....) but in vain!
My first attempt to fix this was deleting data and cache for camera app! then I made a factory reset then I tried updating to android N DP4 and then I rolled back and in vain!!!
Once the camera srops working it will not work again until I reboot the phone and after I reboot it the camera will work for about 5 minutes to 1 hour then the problem starts showing!!!
Hope yo Guys can help me solve the issue I really like the phone and I don't wanna lose it!
Thx in advance!

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would send it in for warranty or repairs if possible.

Did you managed to get it fixed? I have the exact same issue. I think it first started happening after the latest security updates. I hope it's not hardware related, this phone just came back from lg repairs for faulty digitizer.

i got the same problem. i just try to install the final version of android 7.0 and hope the problem won't show again...
i'm anyway quite sure it's not a hardware problem, cause when the camera works it works great and shoots perfect photos and videos...i think it's the last security pack update which causes these problems, and maybe the solution will be the new security pack update, of september

I had the same issue, and I simply couldn't fix it by any means. It just started to happen after 3 months of use, and came out of nowhere.
I had to return it, luckily it was amazon......
Really weird.

New OTA update

Guys that have the latest update that supposed to fix the speaker and camera, is the update any good. Im on Three UK and we haven't received the update yet but I see people are experiencing loads of new issues now, eg; screen flickering.
One person on razers forum said how the speaker volume is now even lower and the camera is sometimes either really bright or the image is half-cut. Some mentioned that the screen flickering is due to the adaptive display being on or when screen is on full brightness on 120hz. Phone lagging, restarting and freezing is also mentioned and
Can you share your experiences on this new update. Has anyone managed to do a hard reset to see if that is any good or did this update just totally mess the phone.

I took the update and am not experiencing any of these issues. I run it at 120hz all the time and the audio is very loud coming from Sony devices which have nice audio but much too low volume. Camera works fine, better than before the update. No screen flickering or reboots but I don't use display at Max brightness. I also don't use auto screen brightness.

I took the update and had none of those problems. Then I went ahead with TWRP. On one slot I have the new 2009 build. TWRP broke the WiFi and flashlight. On the other slot I have the 851 build. TWRP didn't affect anything on it, and the play store updated the camera app. The play store update did the same camera fixes as the 2009 build.

Question Screen flickering

Hi,
I noticed since the December / January update, my phone keeps flickering and have very bad contrast when brightness lowered to 0%. I'd done the following -
Update to Android 14 and revert to Android 13 stable but issue persisted. Anyone can help to resolve this?

There are several threads discussing this issue in this forum.
