Problem with camera

Hey,
So yesterday my phone totally freaked out. The battery ran out like hell (10% in 5 min), the camera stopped working and got my phone into a bootloop. I've managed to fix the battery and the bootloop problem, but the camera still not working.
When I open the app, it shows up the options on the side, but the screen is black, and after couple of seconds the app crashes (not the phone!). When I try to reopen it, it says "unable to start the camera". I tried different camera apps aswell, but they cannot connect to the camera service.
I've tried a soft reset, clearing cache and data, and still nothing.
Someone? Please?
There's always the possibility of a hardware fault... My cousin works for Mercedes Benz and the company doesn't allow camera phones... They need to remove the camera module... He gets the same error which you are getting because there is no camera module installed...
If your rooted.. Then try some another custom rom and check the Camera... If you still get that error.. Then its surely a hardware fault...

[Q] Htc Camera app Black screen, but camera is fine!

Hi,
I come to you for a strange problem...
From one week, I can't use the HTC camera app. When i launch it, I have a black screen. I thought the camera was broken but snapchat was working :/
So, I donwloaded an other camera app (google), and front and rear camera work well. But, if I start Htc camera app, and other camera, it will bug, I just have to close the HTC app and others apps work again... I tried to clear data app.
I Run ARHD 11.1, root, s-off...
Does anyone seen it before?
Thanks,
Allan
Edit : When I am on the HTC cameara app, I can activate the flash, take a picture (because I know where the buttons are)..But the screen is still black!
Same issue mate
I've cleared the data and still no joy other apps work just not the htc camera as its just black but I know it still works as I can hear it, what modules do you have running mate? I'm in viper one 2.5 and s-off
I also have a black screen on my Camera app htc one m8
Try to re-flash the ROM, with full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik).
Also, make sure your firmware is up to date.
I don't want to reflash tho as just got the phone how I like it minus the camera tho lol Google camera works I've uninstall htc m8 camera and reinstalled it fresh still no joy just a black screen maybe I'll wait for a update on the viper one rom, oh also the mini camera works of the viper side bar
I'm having this same issue in the same rom but when I use Google camera it says can't connect to camera
Do you have any screen rotation locks on?
I had this exact same problem and I looked all over for a solution with no luck. Other than a hard reset I had run out of options. I was deleting other apps that use the camera and checking back every time, and one time I opened the app and it worked for a few seconds before turning the screen landscape (I was still holding it portrait), then turning to black screen again. I checked my rotation lock, and it was locked to portrait. I tried unlocking the rotation and what do you know, it worked perfectly after that. I tried relocking the screen rotation to portrait, and the problem came back. I turned it off again, and it works perfectly.

HTC One M8 camera keeps crashing randomly.

Hello,
My HTC One M8 (T-mobile) has been acting up lately. The camera crashes randomly when I open the camera app. There is no error message, it just crashes and phones goes back to the home screen.
I have tried other camera apps too, same fate.
I think I have started noticing this after the latest android security update that was installed a week ago.
Anyone facing similar issues?
I have tried force stop, clear cache, clear data and even a factory reset. Nothing helped.
Update: both camera work fine with this app called OpenCamera, it does not crash like the HTC camera and Google camera app.
I first noticed this after the upgrade to Lollipop. Still happens occasionally, and is fixed for weeks at a time with a reboot.

HTC One M8 rear camera

Hi, my rear camera on my M8 it was working fine until few days ago when it suddenly stopped. In the camera application i am only able to switch between selfie and photo booth. Also, rear flashlight is not working, application is loading infinite. I tried to clear cache/data for camera app, disable/enable, uninstall updates, downloading retrica (it just shows black screen for rear camera). Also, i flash a new RUU MM but the problem is still there, so i guess it is a hardware issue. Anyone had similar problem or any other ideas ? Also, if rear camera is failing flashlight cannot work as standalone ?
After i upgraded to MM the problem was solved. Yesterday the problem returned again. Can anyone help me ? The warranty has expired.
Anyone ?

Rear camera stays black. FC. No "can't connect error"

Hi I've been experiencing some troubles with my camera and after searching through forums for a fix I saw that many people had FC's on camera app by zooming or the can't connect error.
I have an lg with a similar not the same issue. It's on stock v20u no bumped no root , camera app only shows black and after a while FC's , no can't connect error.
Third party camera apps shows only front camera no button to swich to rear.
Thinking that might be a faulty camera I've replaced it with a brand new. Still black.
Then factory reset the phone, after that camera still black and FC.
Clear cache and data of camera app. Still no luck.
