I have only had this phone a few weeks and already the camera will not focus, could I have broke the focus by dropping it? Can software mess up the focus? Right now I am rooted running Liquidsmooth. I have reverted to stock and it does not fix...I know this thing can take better pics than what i am taking. Anyone know the default camera settings? I bought it at bestbuy, would I take it back their or the sprint store to get fixed? Thanks

Someone else had the same problem and then realized they had set their focus mode to macro and forgot to change it back. Have you checked that to rule it out?

I bought an evo on release date and it had a few problems so I took it back and got a new one. About 2 hours after I got my new one home I heard it making a really fast clicking/tapping sound. (click click click tap tap tap) I thought the sound was coming from my speaker so I put it up to my ear after a few seconds I looked at the speaker and noticed that it wasnt the speaker but that it was the camera. I could see the lens physically moving back and forth really fast. Naturally I started the camera app to see what would happen. I snapped a picture and noticed that it was very blurry. I then went to camera settings and changed them and its still very blurry. Its almost as if the camera just refused to focus (looked like I needed glasses)... Naturally, the next step I took was to try to record a video... Same thing very blurry but sound is perfect. Next I tried the front facing camera. It was fine.
I have tried re-starting it a bunch of times... tried cleaning the lens...
About 4 or 5 hours later I took another picture and it was fine. Now the problem is intermittent and if I take 10 pictures 3 or 4 will be in focus and the others wont.
1. My phone is not rooted
2. I have not dropped it
3. It has not gotten wet.
4. Babied it the whole time I've had it.
5. Tried turning off auto focus and using manual
Any suggestions?
Take it back.

Happened with my first EVO take it back
Same thing just happened to me on my Evo that is over a month old. Only happens intermittently though. After a reboot, it seems to be fine for a while.
mine is blurry too. is there any hack for it? im not covered by sprint for this. Maybe deal with htc directly? any ideas hackers?
wht the hell are you not covered by sprint? of course you are covered so take it back.
both of you guys take the damn things back... seriously why are you even here asking for help... the only help you will get is sprint repairing or replacing it

dont ask me why just answer the damn questions lol
oh and resets can sometimes cure it for a while I think.
mine has been taking crisp pics all day now
If it's a defective phone and you havent voided the warrenty take it back anyways, it is HTC's warranty not Sprint's
Ive had my evo for almost two years and I installed the cm9 rom for it and the camera was having this problem so I went back to my backup and same problem. It wont focus. It acts like its focusing but just wont. Also I've opened the phone several times so a replacement is out of the question.
Every 004 I've had, had this issue. Unless I use CM7 camera software, or Sense 3 (?) Camera software.

Weird. Someone in the Evo LTE forum just had a camera hack completely bust their cam. Even after RUU. I didn't think it was possible. Apparently I'm wrong.

I bought the original evo 4g from best buy on release day. The camera all day long made a whining mechanical sound as if it was moving in and out. Exchanged it and the 2nd one did the same thing.

I'm running CalKulin's EViO 2 ROMv1.7.6 and I just noticed that when i go to my camera and try to use the front camera it just uses that main camera instead. This is problematic and curious to know if anybody else has has this problem or knows that fix to this issue. Any informative advice is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried wiping and reinstalling?
It happened to me. Go to the Sprint store and get a replacement phone.

I bought a used phone from a guy who was selling it on Craigslist. I did not check the front camera when I bought it. When I got home I realized that it was not working. I went to the Sprint store next day and they replaced it with another used one.
If they OP's front camera never worked that is the solution. If it was due to the ROM then please disregard this.
I did a full wipe on my phone and still no secondary camera. Then i did a back up of my fiancee's EVO whose secondary camera did work and restored it on my phone and it still had no secondary camera for me. I really hate doing this because this was a brand new replacement phone they sent me and its not working like it should.
Is there anything else i can possible try before going to sprint. I really hate dealing with their rude customer service and having to wait in the store for a whole hour just for them to tell me what i already told them.
My camera has stopped functioning all it will do is render pink static. I wanted to see if there was a work around before I do an rma for a refurbished phone. Any ideas?

Backup your current setup
Flash the EVO camera found in the Virtuous Extra Goodies section of Rom d/l in Rom Manager.

Unless it's a software problem, that won't do anything.

You don't have to send it in for a refurb. You could always just replace the camera if you wanted to keep the exact phone you have now.

I haven't replaced mine, but I did replace the front bezel and digitizer, wasn't hard at all. I would believe the camera to be even easier to replace. I think there was a thread on here showing you how to do it also, unfortunately I can't find that at the moment.

My dad's phone had the pink hue on it. I rooted it, wiped it, tried different cameras, etc. Didn't help. Had to get a refurb.
Can't help on replacing only the camera, sorry.
Okay so I just got back from school, and I wanted to take some pics of things. Only for me to go to the official stock Camera app for it to say Camera failed. So I was thinking that an app had tampered with my camera while I was out, so I cleared the RAM and went back to the Camera app only to see that the Camera was pure BLUR! No biggie. Tapped to focus, it lit green but it was still blur! Now that's when I lost it. I had cleaned the lens, went to different camera apps, even ODINED back to stock EG30 from Calkulin's ROM. As of now it's just sitting on the charger quiet. Now what the hell am I going to tell Sprint??? What the hell did Samsung do to my camera? I want to Instagram so much stuff, now I can't. -___- Who else is suffering this issue & how do I fix?
Possibly just hardware failure. Stuff breaks sometimes for no apparent reason. Take to sprint and tell them the camera quit working. Its a warranty issue. No need to give any additional info.

That happened to me on my old Epic 4g, it was just a hardware failure, I was under warranty still at the time so I had it replaced.

This phone is dope except for my front camera!
Bought 8/16. Worked great the first couple weeks. Love the glamour face feature in selfie mode. About 3 weeks in, the camera started crashing in selfie mode. If I flip it quickly it won't FC, but 9/10 it closes. If it doesn't close, it does this weird split/pink overlay screen thing.
HALP! I'm on Sprint with the ZD5 build, not rooted. Any suggestions or do Ibbq need to take it back??

I'm also having this problem
I'm also experiencing this, though I am rooted. I also have an ls991 as well.
Same here
I'm on VZW's latest, and I get the same thing. EVERY app trying to access the front camera dies.

IDK about the other carriers, but Sprint is replacing these. Call customer care and they'll send a replacement.
