Hi guys. I recently flashed Xenon HD's newest ROM update 08/14/2012. The camera app worked perfectly until today, where when I tried to load the app, the screen turns black, and then after a while, it flashes Gallery not working very fast and FCs. What gives?
I also did the procedure found in my signature titled, "3 second gps fix", and changed my gps.conf. Could that affect the camera somehow?

Don't know. What happens if you revert the changes in gps.conf, reboot and start camera app?

Just did the update, Not really wanting to post, did a quick search and found nothing, But the 2.2 OTA update appears to have broken the camera...
The default app opens and cloes, and others just sit with a black screen
That's weird. I just done my update 2 hour ago. But seems like everything works fine.
Fine with mine.
I even tested the 720p.
Try to manually reboot your phone.
I got issue with app list and fixed with reboot. Probably this one too.
Also check your SD card.
Yea I havent read anyone else having this problem so its annoying, I was planning on doing a sidew by side comparrison with the 2.2 and 2.1 versions.
Same problem here...

I shouldnt have to use a gold card.
Only way I tried to make it run,was playing with the task killer and killing footprints,gallery and cam apps.
Then it runs,but that's not a solution...
I've got the same problem, just opens and then closes. Tried reboot but it didn't help.

No goldcard = no camera
My camera isn't working either, a friend of mine with the same phone and same provider (vodafone) has got his camera working with no problems at all.
Same here, camera dead. Rebooting didn't help.
EDIT: Started task killer, killed everything (including camera, it was listed). Now it works.
A note to everyone with problems - I have done some testing and the problems seems to be some unresolved compatibility issues migrating from the old android os to the new one. Things seem to be fixed for some people by restarting however in some cases a factory reset is required. Most settings will be maintained in this however user dictionary, security and data settings may be lost. Other app based settings will also be lost, but so far it seems to be the sure fire method to resolve the problem.
Also note that the problem has been filed with HTC and we are waiting for a response.
Camera is working again, out of nowhere!
+1 - stock unbranded desire. Camera now fails, reboot doesn't help.
Task killing a bunch of apps lets you start the camera - but this does not survive a reboot.
Moving apps to the SD card in App Manager also re-enables the camera for some reason but again this does not survive a reboot.
Need a fix for this pdq!
OK - have a fix that works for me. Killed all tasks one by one and tested camera to find culprit:
LED Light Widget 1.0.9
Uninstalled this and camera working normally even after reboot.

Hi,
I installed LeeDroid V2.0 and running the 5.09.00.20 radio. I also tried the latest radio 5.10.05.23. But with both radios I don't get camera and camcorder working.
When I press the app, I see the camera/camcorder-symbol for a second and then the screen went black. Whit the home-button I come back the the homescreen.
Besides the Froyo-flashlight-app doesn't work.
What could be the reason for that? The search gave the advice, to uninstall the led-light-app. But I didn't install it and couldn't find in the applicationlist.
I have to say, that the camera/camcorder worked before the root!
Thanks.
Edit: Now I tried to unroot. After the unroot, the original Android 2.1 is on the device. But the camera and the camcorder do not work. It always ends in black screen... What could be the reason? Hardware defect?
Hi,
I've got the same problem since Leedroid 2.0. On every ROM the camera screen goes black Is there anybody who can help us?
Thanks
Hi,
Using the same constellation without any problem. Any special camera app installed? Or other app getting access to the camera?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
No, I switched to different roms already, but the problem still exists (Modaco R9, OpenDesire, LeeDroid, PinkyDesire). I can take pictures now, but when I once use the camcorder, nothing is working. The HUD is away and i can only see what the camera shows. When i press the Home button and want to start the Camcorderapp again, there's only a black screen Please I need Help.
Thanks
-Edit-
Problem solved:
There was a corrupted 720P Video on my SD. I deleted it und everything works fine again
Yes, I had problems with my camcorder when my card got corrupted. I re-formated it and everything's good
i have same problem and i cant get any thing to work it sucks. tried a ton of radios
Hey dudes,
Here my problem:
Since I first modded my Defy, I lost camera auto focus capability. Have you any idea how to solve it?
I can't read barcode anymore.
I'm using a Pays rom 5.1.
Thanks!
Sent from my Defy.
u tried uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it again?
I have a similar problem with Pays 5.1:
Mostly the camera works but the picture is cut somewhere (rest of the screen is in the color of the last pixel recorded correctly I think) and the screen is frozen for a few seconds until the camera works again (picture is not saved)
and sometimes the whole picture is black or very dark (saved, but useless).
Maybe this happens because of an error in this rom?
I don't know, but I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the application, but it didn't work.
It seems that CEE and UK roms don't use the proper AF setting..
Sent from my Defy.
I'm using 3.4.2-155-CEE in Barebones 1.3 and it's ok. There's jpeg fix on the Barebones thread (on the latest pages), but i don't know if it can help, since Pays use 3.4.3-11
I flashed 3.4.2-155-CEE (no custom rom, no data) and took about 20 pictures - no error.

I have the same problem with S.Froyo Cee Edition.... Sometimes i can not take a picture because of freezing screen with the lower part painted with plain color. Sometimes it's ok. When i was on a factory firmware 3.4.2-155 there were no problems with the camera....
I am using official french 2.2.2 update(since my defy is from france). I've updated it trough motorola defy, and my phone lost auto focus. On 2.1 there was the rectangle and when it gets green the camera takes the photo, now it just snaps without the focus.
:/
I've tried camera 360, and auto focus works there, but I need a fix for the stock app. :/
EDIT: I've went to Settings/manage applications/Camera and clicked on the Clear Data, and now auto focus is back!
hi all.
i had a similar problem: after update from 2.1 to 2.2.2 (cee stock both), auto-focus stopped working. tried the "clear data", but without a success. i didn't want to make factory reset, so i tried "fix permission" from rom manager. at first, it threw an error, because it didn't find the busybox. installed it to "/system/bin". after that, fix permission run without an error, reboot, and focus is working again.
just for record
Hello,
I am using French 2.2.2 stock rom and since the update from 2.1, I lost the autofocus. I tried to clear all data from the stock camera app but it did not work. I also tried fix persmissions from Rom Manager as said above but with no luck.
I noticed that the autofocus does not work with Camera360 and Barcodescanner either...
Any clue on what I could try (without a full reset which would be my last resort ) Thanks!
same here
I have the same problem since Cyanogenmod 7.1 flash.
I tried the "clear app data" method and the "fix permissions". Still I can't get any focus.
Some help please ?
Thanks
I have the same problem, neither the clear data nor the fix permissions didn't work...
Hello,
same problem for me, so that programs like prixing or barcode scanner don't work properly .
Thanks
Very annoying problem, I tried everything.
Factory reset, fix permissions, clear cache.
I have WajkIUI (Miui based custom rom) and the 2 camera app do the same. Auto focus is dead.
What is your opinion, it this a hardware related issue?

I can tell you (from personal experience ) that it is possible for the camera module auto focus to break, the camera will still work "normally" but just won't focus.
Mine is/was a SoC module, so I've just been looking to see if I could find a Bayer module to replace it. I haven't found one yet though....
Have you tried going back to a stock ROM yet?
I didn't try jet.
Is it possible that the rollback solve this issue?
I don't even know what is my camera module, but when I arrive to home I will check it.
Well it appears that it might not be the actual camera itself that is broken, I've just replaced mine and the autofocus still doesn't work
I've tried flashing stock sbfs, and also all the suggestions above as well, so I was "sure" it was the actual camera that was broken.
I have absolutely no idea what to try now. Maybe the power for the focus motor in the module comes from a different place to the main camera power?
Does anyone know how to get more detailed debugging information on what happens when the camera is told to focus?
Even if you press and hold the camera soft button it will not focus and give you the green square?
How about booting the phone.. is there any clicking sound from the camera that it auto adjusting itself?

No, whatever I press, the green square never appears, and there is no clicking sound during boot.

Did you manage to get a Bayer camera module from SBE like you said you were going to try in this thread?
Hi guys!
I recently (1 week?) updated my HTC One M8 to the Android Revolution HD 53.1 ROM. Suddenly, now, I can't open the official HTC Camera App. Well, actually, yes. I open it, and I just see a black screen, but the lower buttons. I can change to selfie mode, and it works perfect. However, when I try the rear camera, it doesn't function (just black screen and closes after ~4seconds). I took the last pictures less than 16 hours ago):
I've tried OpenCamera App, and it's also a black screen, although it doesn't freeze. I paste you the logcat, hope you can help me, guys! It would be awesome, thanks in advance. I've no idea of what can be happening, I don't even know if it's due to the ROM, because it worked perfectly yesterday...

After wiping my smartphone, it didn't worked... I supposed a Hardware problem.
But suddenly, since this afternoon, it works without problem. I don't know what can be happening.
I hope it doesn't occur any more

so glad to hear that mate
All,
I noticed yesterday when attempting to use the front facing camera that I get only a black screen, the camera app switches back to rear camera for a moment, then the app closes.
I am not sure when this became an issue as I'm not a selfie kind of guy. The rear camera continues to function just fine.
I have tried the following fixes
wipe data in the camera app
wipe user data
uninstall / reinstall camera update
boot into safe mode
uninstall / reinstall app that utilize the camera
None of the "fixes" have resolved the problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion where to head next?
Phone is S-Off, unlocked, rooted, and running the latest stock ROM.
Should I just say f-it and try a different ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Update: I flashed LeeDroid ROM this morning and the front facing camera is still not working. Looks like it could be a hardware issue...

yah, that's what it looks like. hope you have warranty.
I have the same issue. Previously when I pressed the swirly-arrows button it tried to switch then locked up and wouldn't do anything until I restarted. Now when I press the button it just spins around and nothing happens. I used catlog reader to find some errors being logged. I posted a thread about it if you're interested.
