Hi all,
Has anyone found a solution for the Camera bug with Cyanogenmod 10.2? I've been doing some research lately and haven't found a solution. I may have missed something or just searched for the wrong things. Got my university ball tomorrow and want to be able to depend on my phones camera.
Usually the problem is that the Camera is unavailable when needed for all the apps connected to it e.g. WhatsApp/Instagram/SnapChat and the camera app.
You didn't give enough details about the problem to actually help.
But if you mean sometimes it says "cannot connect to camera" .. A reboot should fix it. I think that's caused by the kernel.

Hi, sorry for the vague question. Yes that's the problem and I thought a fix was out that's why I asked the question. Realised restarting fixes the problem but frustrating at the same time!

I posted this before but never really found an answer but now I know it's the Miui rom that's causing my random reboots what could it be? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks

Set your wifi sleep policy to never, that seems to clear reboots for most people. Either that or try a different kernel. Also, there is a dedicated MIUI forum, I suggest posting questions like this over there. http://forums.miui-dev.com/forumdisplay.php?18-HTC-EVO-4G
that doesnt work... any other suggestions?
miui 1.4.15
I have no suggestions sorry but I am having the same problem on MIUIDev 1.4.15 I have been looking for answers as well. I have had it happen using Navigation and Utube ?
Hi all, I have now tried on 2 different roms.. On both the camera is working as it should but when changing to video and start recording nothing happens.. After a few seconds the phone reboots itself.. Anyon experienced the same issue - or even better anyone up for a way to fix this? thanks..

It seems never happen to me.
Just change one stable rom.
Problem solved.. Probably caused by faulty radio image.. Reinstalled latest radio and that fixed the video recording

a friend of mine has an EVO 4G, hardware 004, it has been working fine until a few weeks ago when his camera showed a BLACK screen when you clicked on the camera app. he was rooted running SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 rom. Well, we couldnt get the camera working so we did a hard reset and flashed MIKROM 3.0... camera was now working great..... TODAY. the camera is showing a black screen again. you dont even get any of the buttons in the camera app but you can press the home screen to get out (no force quit or anything).
any ideas how to fix this without another hard reset?
The best advice is to try another rom, specifically a stock sprint rom. If it still doesn't work, or works sporadically, its likely a hardware problem with the camera itself.
It sounds like a hardware issue to me I had the same problem an had to get it replaced.don't quote me these guys ate pretty smart but I couldn't get mine fixed

Sounds like the camera hardware maybe staring to fail or has become loose from the board next time it goes black try pressing the lens down and see if it tries to work that would indicate loose connection, otherwise the sensor may be failing
Go in to recovery and fix permission's

and how does that fix the camera??
OK so today we tried pushing down on the camera module.. then started up the phone and guess what.. it works again...
Sounds like the camera sensor is loose on the board, may need to take it on for repair, or if your techsavvy try opening it up and repair it yourself

Cause i had the same problem and ur cam is a app and sometimes it goes black when app is started, permissions fixs anything screwed up with your apps.

It fixes permissions for a lot of things like apps folders etc your android phone is a linux based system so in order for things to execute they need to have the correct permissions. For instance something with 777 permissions means it has full read write and execute permission for the owner, group and other here is a calculator for linux permissions just to show you what the different permissions are.

The permissions can sometimes change meaning the app or folder or whatever isn't able to execute because it doesn't have permission to fixing permissions is just supposed to fix that so your things can execute correctly hope this helps

Really 3 posts to answer the same question with 3 of the same answer when we already found the cause of the issue
Funny cause ive been combing the net trying to find a working fix. I've been having the same issue for weeks. Once did the "fix permissions" and it worked. Another time i re-flashed the same ROM then a different ROM and they both worked.
IDK what it is but everytime it works bout an 1/2 hour to 1 hour later its back to the black screen again. I'm stuck guys. I even had a friend of mine extract his HTCcamera.apk from his phone & load it on mine...guess what...worked!!! Hour later.....same crap
Comeon guys lets put our heads together and figure this out!!!
I use Root 66 4.1.1 with the 4.2 camera, and for the longest, if I hit edit or tinyplanet on a sphere, I'd get the "com.google.android.gallery3d has stopped" error, and the flash was intermittently Working. When it wasn't, it would either black screen or give the same error.
I got fed up, did some finger walking, flashed a fixed 4.2 camera, so now spheres are no issue to edit, but normal pics are hit-and-miss to edit, and flash fails consistently. Both the edit and flash foul ups are the gallery 3d error.
I did some more nosing around, but have only found the same solutions I've already tried
Also, not sure if this has any relevance at all, but my gps went out, but i was able to fix it with a dialer menu trick another member pointed me to.
Is this camera bug common across a lot of roms, or is my combination of the 4.2 camera and Root66 particularly problematic? Is there a simple fix that will stick? All thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
I think that you're on 4.1.1 causes the isues

The 4.2 camera app I flashed was intended to be run on 4.1.1 devices.
Can anyone help me out with this problem.
When someone is calling me and the lock screen comes up i get terrible lag when trying to unlock the phone in order to answer it.
The unlock to answer is the only thing that lags,
I have tried to turn off the unlock but that doesn't help.
I have researched the forums and have seen that its impossible to disable the lock screen prior to answering a call.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated,
Thanks
Mark

Are you running too many apps in the backgorund? maybe is time for a factory reset or even a reflash.
Try clearing your ram.. If you have cleared it and your free ram is low you have too many apps running in the background.

the main question is which rom do u use??
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
I noticed that problem usually with Cm9 and Cm10 roms.
I think it should be definetly a low-mem issue.
Hey developers!
Why not a mod that forces the answer-the-call in memory
Iike the option that some launchers have to prevent lag?
you can't do anything with that. cm9-10 roms always.will have callscreen lag becasue they aren't designed to use them.with devices without gpu. just install cm7 or other gb rom. you don't lose so much because things from ics and.jb like hardware acceleration never will work on willy. best way for you will be gb roms with jb look give a try and you won't regret.it (;
