Hi there,
I've got a lovely new HTC Desire HD , its been working fine for about a month, however something really strange is happening with the camera.
When in the defult camera app, the camera focuses nice and clear, pauses for half a second, then the screen goes black with a large phyisical mechanical shutter sound and feeling, then the camera reinitializes, focuses nice and clear... then the loop continues.
This keeps happening, even while trying to take a picture, if I'm not quick, the picture wont capture.
This doesnt seem to be effected by video mode...
Anyone got any ideas?
-Just to clarify, this is not the phone turning off after taking a picture bug. This is one I can't find anyone else mentioning anywhere. The phone is still one, the camera app just goes black and shutter goes clonk every few seconds after focusing.
Hi, this happened to me as well. I isolated the problem with the OC module I'm using. I don't use the Buzz kernel rather go the GScript route and load the module first, then cpoc then noreboot, oshitt then 100-1459 etc... which I have to do everytime I reboot.
I've tested it quite a few times and the phone sometimes hangs when loading the oshitt script. To remedy the situation, whenever the phone just rebooted, I go to the camera app first, test the video for a few seconds then exit out of the program before loading the GScripts...
Not sure if you are using SetCPU and loading scripts but its as close as I could describe to help you out mate!
Thanks for the reply,
I haven't actually changed anything on this phone from stock, its not rooted nor does it have any form of OC or different ROM to the Orange, thats whats so puzzling.
The phone doesnt restart, just the app. I've narrowed it down to notice this ONLY happens when the camera focuses into something, either by tap or autofocus...
In the interim I've installed camera 360 that seems to work ok, which leads me to believe its more of a software problem then a hardware.
Camcorder started working normally but still no luck with the stock camera app
Maybe when 2.3 is released on dhd, this may resolve?

Are you running a task killer?
No task killer running, I used to have one bit realised they were not worth the effort, especially after the usb debugging fix!

I ask because I was having the same issue, and thought it may have been due to the task killer I was using. I think I've found my problem now though... I was using Tasker to control my display brightness, and strangely this caused the camera to exhibit the behaviour you describe. I've modified my Tasker settings to set brightness to Auto when camera is on and this appears to have resolved the problem. So do you have any 3rd party app controlling your screen brightness...?

Thanks for the reply, I've tried playing around, still no luck, I don't think I have any programs that control the brightness. still can't find many other people who have had this issue. If it carries on, I may try to hard reset as I also can't use Google goggles anymore.

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?
I am having an issue with videos recorded on my LGG4. During playback on the phone or uploaded to Facebook, there is a constant clicking noise that can be heard over any recorded sound on every video. I have tested several different recordings and all are the same. Here is a short sample that you can listen too...

Bad phone or is there a easy fix?
Hi. I have the same playback issue on my G4. I tried recording with Google Camera and I had no problem, no weird sounds or whatever. I guess this happens only when using the stock camera app. Mine is updated to MM v20a.
Hi, same problem here. That's the second exchange with amazon, the first one had display issues (random white noise on the right half of the display) this one has the clicking noise during video recording on the left channel. Seems like it's related with the wifi module: disabling it the clickning noise disappears, but the audio recording is still bad compared to the previous g4 i returned to amazon.

I have the same issue. Strange that everything is fine when using different app. Looks like firmware problem ? Did you sort it out ? I have just updated my phone to Android 6.0 v20c .
guys, can you try turn off wifi then record video , do you still have clicking sound ?
if u use a case, try record without the case.
Hi. I have switched my wifi off and I did not notice any changes. Still I can hear clicking noise. I do not use any cases. Strange that everything is fine when I using google camera open app... I found out that lots of people noticed the same issue. It cannot be hardware problem...
I have the same problem, but ONLY and ONLY if wifi is on, i get clicking sound in stock camera WITH wifi on, in other apps i dont have it, but when i turn it OFF , clicking sound is gone... even when i record video and during recording i turn of wifi, sound instantly dissapears, for me it's the wifi problem, i can upload video if you dont belive me
I have the same clicking noise with or without wifi on. I did not notice any issues when using open google camera app. Looks like it is stock camera app fault ?

clicking sound comes near earpiece.what default camera does is that it records audio from secondary mic which is near earpiece.whereas 3rd party camera womt use secondary mic.that too clicking sound will come more when wifi/bluetooth is ON.
Same here, and clicking goes away with WiFi off.
Wanted to ask, did anybody return and got a replacement device based on this? Or even had it fixed by service?
I mean, are there devices that don't have this problem? Cause if there are, then it's a valid warranty/service request.
I have got my mother board replaced.

Was that the only problem it had? And is the problem gone now?
We purchased one of these in December and there was no issue with the phone. We had to return the phone for another reason and when we got it back it was updated to the latest version of Android Marshmellow (It was on Lollipop when it left) and the clicking was there. We also noticed a minor reduction in photo quality, not something I can put a finger on it, but when we first got it the photos were awesome, now they are not so clear, colourful, sharp.
Edit:
We sent it back for repair again due to the clicking and when we got it back (last night) nothing changed, it still makes the same noise.
I can stop the clicking but I have to turn off Wifi, Data and bluetooth and then it seems to go away.
As I'm new to Android I'm hesitant to see if I can take it back to Lollipop and see if it stops the problem.
What version of software are you on?
Does turning off Wifi, Data, Bluetooth help? Or does it just reduce the sound?
Do the pictures seem less then what a camera with these specs should have?
Marshmallow v20d. Yes turning off things makes the clicking go totally away. Can't comment on picture quality change, as I updated to marshmallow as soon as I got it.
Had mine sent two times in less than a month, on its way to the third this week.
First time was sent with this audio problem and battery swelling. They replaced the battery and the charging connectors, but said they could not reproduce the earpiece clicking noise during their tests, despite the fact that I had included in the phone a video example showing the problem, clear instructions on how to replicate the problem and the shop lady confirming - in writing - that she had tested and confirmed that there was a clicking noise problem. Problem was, when I received the phone from the first repair I was unable to test whether the audio problem was gone or not because they changed the last account associated to the phone, completely blocking me from accessing it and verify if the audio problem as still present.
Sent back a second time on the same day, with even more clear details on how to reproduce the audio problem - since they failed to reproduce the first time, I assumed it was still there - returned after a simple software upgrade and I was able to finally enter the phone. Came home, tested with WiFi (store's wifi was down) and the audio problem was still there, completely unchanged.
Tested without SIM (in case LTE/GSM etc. could be causing interference with WiFi), tested without SDCARD (at this point I was just trying to see what they did to NOT replicate the problem) and tested with 5GHz wifi, in case the problem was only with 2.4GHz bands. No change, the audio problem was always there.
After reading this thread, and other threads in different forums, I am certain that this is a hardware problem and I will demand that the store tech writes in the warranty sheet that he confirmed the problem, along with a very detailed step-by-step instruction guide to replicate the problem, video example included inside the phone and a link to video example hosted only for them to hear clearly what the problem is, just in case they fail to understand the obvious (https://youtu.be/oZOb8tIl5lw). Finally, I'm going to contact LG directly to report this situation and to take action if the incompetent brand techs fail to replicate and fix the problem yet again.
The only good part about all this is that they have been really fast, no more than week and a half (weekends included) for both "repairs".
NFC was the issue on my android Nokia 3
I have a brand new Nokia 3 running android 7.1.1
It also has the problem of audio clicks on video recordings. THE PROBLEM IS NFC. When NFC is disabled the clicks go away. Not impressed with a 2017 smartphone model having thus issue. Though Nokia probably have the Microsoft bug curse
I have the same problem with my 2016 LG G4. I sent my phone to LG Service and they replaced my speaker obviously not resolving the problem... now I'm sending it back again.
Hi guys,
I recently purchased the Nexus 5X and I noticed, that when It's dark around, and I want to use the camera with flash and tak a photo, the light flashes and then it takes picture. The problem is, that when it takes the picture, the light is already gone, so the resulting image is very dark. Do you think its a software issue or hardware ? Im using the standard google camera app & stock rom and kernel.
Ty for all suggestions !
I just did test, the same thing happens to me as well. And heres why, you have HDR mode turned on, or on automatic. try turning HDR off and try again.
Hi All,
I am facing an issue with my New Mi 10T pro mobile. When i used initially i didn't have this issue, everything went fine.
Recently i applied the security path update and the MIUI update. After that when ever i used the flash while taking pictures or videos i am getting over exposed(full white) images/videos. Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue?
Every phone struggles in low light. but if you use flash I recommend using it with Night mode, for better dynamic range
