It looks like a bad sensor. Is it happening consistently in different camera apps? What happens if you try a camera app such as Camera360 that lets you alter the ISO (in normal mode)?
If possible, can you upload samples taken against a solid white background under even lighting?

Please, anyone??? i have the same problem.... i've changed the camera, still fail

sounds like a hardware issue gents.

I had the exact same issue on HTC G2, it's indeed hardware. The great news is it's just a mechanical issue: Push on the camera, perpendicular to the battery case (straight into the phone). It will fix this issue.
Lots of success with this method at androidforums. I cannot post a link, but google "androidforums evo camera 152727"
Cheers

+1. I had this with all three of the G1's I owned, and I had it with my G2 not too long ago. Not sure why this keeps happening, but just put the phone screen down on a table, and push down on the camera. One of the strangest fixes ever but hey, whatever works!

[Q]Camera restart phone

Re. camera restarting phone - it's been reported that when on autobrightness, the camera will reboot the phone sometimes. Using an alternative camera app (like Camera 360 for instance), or not using autobrightness for the display, will help.
I also had this problem, and since switching camera apps it hasn't happened.

Changing that and now work fine. Thx @rafithegreat .
And Video Recoring in 720p now is very bad. Even if I play in MoboPlayer it's not so smooth.
Now recordingin norma.
One more question: how to turn on Time Stamp when I'm taking photo?

dawpuc, I've your same problem.
I've tried to change some radios and rils, but the problem remains.
I don't want to use an alternative camera app, because I like the default app.
I also would like to continue to use the autobrightness utility, because I need it.
Can anyone help me?
P.S.: do you know how can I add the timestamp to my photos directly on the photo in one of the corners?

Why would anyone want time stamps?
On a digital camera, it is the very first thing I turn off.

And this answer is senseless for solving the thread opener's problem.

Yeap. Yesterday problemwas solve (turn auto brightnes off). Today problem come again.
Writing too HTC. And waiting
@Bouncer5 that's your problem m8. I like Time Stamp (I print even that pictures from HTC DESIRE)

Because, if I print a photo, I want remember in the future when I have made that photo without seeing that on my pc

So any solution?

...Up.....?

Hi, I have the same problem using Insertcoin CM7 V1.1.2 . The problem has gotten worse since Insertcoin 1.1.1. Back then only the camera would crash.
Since updating to Insertcoin 1.1.2 the camera freezes the whole phone. I have to take the battery out to reboot manually.
I've used a card gparted with ext3 and ext4 both.
At one point the camera kept working but images were not saved properly. Windows then detected problems with the card and some images were placed in the found folder during the check.
The crashes also happen with the separate Sense 3 camera zip linked on Insertcoin's blog. To be honest that one does not look different from the bundled camera and I have the idea that the problems started with the Sense 3 camera.
Hope this makes more people aware of the issue and perhaps attracts the attention of a dev.

Problem with Gallery - Grey Pictures

Hi all,
I have a problem I hope the great minds here can help me with.
I'm using Slimbean 6.2. I have taken two pictures recently with ordinary camera.
Trouble is, the pics appear grey in the Gallery.
Interestingly, the thumbnails show the image clearly as expected.
I think it may be because the camera wasn't focused, the first pic was of my daughter on a fairground ride and the second was of a train (don't ask).
Is there anything I can do to make them appear correctly?

Examples attached.
You can see the thumbnails clearly, when I tap into the second photo down on the left, I get a grey pic.

I'll try that, but in Dropbox on my laptop they are appearing as grey as well..

I've just flashed build 6 and then 6.9 weekly and camera is working in both. I took a number of shots on both builds and purposefully made sure some were out of focus, no problems at all. Best option is probably just to flash the rom again, try the weekly it seems really stable and the camera is definitely working(as it appears to be in build 6).or You could try to push the camera apk first
Bam Bam Bam

It's odd, it's only happened on a couple of pics, others have come out fine.
Looking at the details, width height and orientation are the same as for other pics (which did work).
Exposure time is 1/2000 and ISO = 100
Size is 43.33kb vs others which are approx 1.5mb
I'll probably never know...

it happened to 2 or 3 month ago but I can't for the life of me remember which rom it was or how i resolved it, hopefully it will be ok now

No fixes available for that ATM!
Change to 6 MP and the camera won't take gray photos... That's the only temp. fix AFAIK!

Delete please

Thanks vin4yak, I'll try that and hope it doesn't happen again

Happened to me a while ago on viperx rom completely out of the blue. I thought it might be camera settings (even though I changed nothing at the time) but i reset them and it continued intermittently. Only for one evening, and it's never happened again. I hadn't changed anything else either, it just started with the grey pic rubbish, and then for no apparent reason it stopped! And never did it again.. I know what I've said doesn't exactly help a lot , just wanted to say that the 6mp fix might not be necessary.. Must be something else that caused it

Camera unable to focus - Sultanxda's rom

as the title says, recently when I open my camera app, the rear camera is unable to focus no matter what I do, the same happens with snapchat and other camera apps. I was wondering if this is an issue within the rom or if its a general OP3 issue and if anyone could help me attempt to fix it.
I'm on SultanXda's rom with the 19th of Feb patch. (would post this on the rom's page but my account is too new to reply on that)
Thanks in advance

Even I have this kind of issue and I am using resurrection reimx ROM. The camera is not focusing. Neither in the camera app nor in the apps like snapchat.
Hope someone has a solution for this.

really hope so, bit troubled at the moment since I can't take any photos

Just tried with rom-delieverd-snapcamera, and the focus is just working fine.
Just touch the screen, where to focus and snap.
Maybe you can give us some hint to reproduce?

sadly touch focus isnt working on my phone, starting to think it might be a hardware issue instead since it just suddenly started happening. I'm not too sure what is different from when it was working either :/ just that one day touch focus stopped working and auto focus stopped as well.

So you can wait for an update, or any other reported issues with focus on sultans rom oder you might try another rom, if it still exists, to make sure, its not a HW issue.

Ehy guyz, it is an hardware problem. U can fix it opening the phone and using some scotch to maintain in place the camera. Or send it in RMA. Or use a magnet near the camera, out of the phone's case as is possible to see in attached photo

Camera make bad photo

Hi guys, I bought a Xperia XA2 and is a great device, except for one thing, or the camera, which has problems focusing. Let me explain: when I take pictures with the main camera before shooting the picture seems to focus and presents all the details, while when I go to see the camera taken this is blurred or not perfectly focused. I also tried with the camera manual but nothing changes, and yes, I also tried to put the object to be photographed to more (well over) 12 cm, but nothing. I also took the phone to assistance where I changed the camera but the problem persists. In the end I tried another camera app that seems to have solved the problem, but at the cost of taking pictures in 8mpx. The question then is: how can I resolve this error? And if I can not, which camera app would you recommend? Thank you so much in advance to those who will answer :laugh:

Send it to the Sony service point to repair.

I've alredy done It but whitout results

May I ask which camera apps did you use?
