Camera not working - ROM |MX ROM|7.8.0 - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
i have been running Resurrection Remix on my z1c for a long time, it has been quite nice, till the random reboots started and i had massive battery drain. I waited 2 Updates and tried to fix it using some extended methods which i gathered in this forum.
Problem is, i found a good ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...nt/rom-z5mx-rom7-5-0extended-battery-t3227779) but now i am having huge troubles with my camera. A new install didn't fix the problem, another Camera app didn't solve it either.
The Problem is, the cam doesn't react properly, it has no automatic focus function or even shoots any pictures.
When i try to take a picture, it just freezes and doesn't react anymore. Just locking the screen and closing the app through recent apps will solve the frozen screen. I would have posted this in the same thread as the ROM, but i am not allowed to, since normally i don't post, since all the problems are usually solved by looking through the Threads,
thanks in advance!:good:

When you flashed Z5 Feature|MX ROM|7.8.0|Extended battery did you put a stock Z1C LP FW 23.4.A.1.216 on first.?
If you just put it onto your SD card and flashed it, then it's no wonder you're having problems as Resurrection Remix is a CM based rom. You need to have a stock folder/partition structure in place before you flash 'Z5 Feature|MX ROM|7.8.0|Extended battery'
The other thing you could try is DRM FUNCTION RESTORATION FOR UB DEVICE, maybe the camera is complaining about the lack of TA partition.

Camera stopped working

The camera has stopped working randomly. The only thing I could think of that might of caused it would be the phone some how shut down when it was in my pocket. When I start up the camera app it immediately closes. When I attempt to use Google goggles, it says cannot connect to camera. What can I do?

First off you can give us some more details as to what software you are running. Are you on a stock Sprint ROM? A custom ROM? Did you install any software and then notice this change? Does this happen 100% of the time?

I'm running the stock 2.2 rooted odexed rom. Stock kernel. And haven't installed any new software to cause this...

I've cleared cache, dalvik cache, camera app's cache and it still doesn't work...

No one has any idea? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

It happens to me on both ava stock 2.2 and now netarchys 2.2... I have to wipe everything to get it back for a few hours... it just did it to me again do you have netarchys fps fix?

This is the craziest thing ever. The camera has returned to working after 10 hours of not working. I didn't do anything to get it to return. I will be continuing to monitor the camera to see if it happens again... This is the first time it has ever happen and the first time I've been on a 2.2 Rom for a significant amount of time.

This just barely happened to my phone too! Grrrr!!!
I'm running Fresh.02 + I tried flashing several kernels to see if it would fix it but none of them helped.
kernels I tried, latest versions of: kingX, snap, netarchy
Will try to do a full wipe and flash the stock 2.2 rooted w/o any fancy mods. <--- ok this fixed it!

Does installing the 3D Gallery app cause the Sense camera app to randomly stop working?
I'm getting the same problem again on a different ROM.
UPDATE: I've uninstalled 3D Gallery & cleared data on the Camera app and it still doesn't work.

i am having this same problem. have flashed several roms with no fix. cannot pin point when this happened either. really frustrating. ive done reboots, wipe, you name it.

happened to me

Hi guys
Any luck with this problem? I'm using a rooted xperia neo running [email protected] #2 with an unlocked boot loader - I've used Google goggles many times before and then today its coming up with "Cannot connect to camera. You may need to restart your device" and yet the camera is working because behind this pop up I can see the image that the camera is seeing. I've tried to take a screen shot of this but the screen shot uses the camera and therefore I blanks out the image through the back lens.
I've also uninstalled the app and reinstalled it - cleared all Dalvik cache - as well as moved it to SD and made it a system app - none of these trials have made any difference.

Are you sure there are no problems or known bugs with the rom you are using? Have you tried reflashing your rom? (it might be a pain to do, but something in the rom might have broke and it can help to start fresh).

I never post here but I have had a problem with my phone's camera that I fix by some random thread I found a while ago so I thought I would share what helped me. The thread stated it is something to do with the camera's connection to the phone and sometimes with drops or bumps of the phone it becomes loose. All I had to do was turn the phone face down, put my thumb over the camera and press down with some force. Not enough to break it but just to reseat the connection. After that, restart the phone. I have done this a few times and it has been successful ever time. I hope you guys have the same success.

That is correct, in some cases i have found the camera has come unseated. but it could also be the board.

[Q] Random reboots and lock ups (memory leak?)

Hey all,
I've had this issue with everything but the stock rom. After a certain amount of time the phone either locks up to where I have to pop the battery, or will graphic glitch on the screen for a second and then auto reboot. Happens maybe 2-4 times a day depending on the day.
I've done a full wipe and full factory reset. I've been modding phones for ages and this is the first time I've encountered this issue. Everything else seems to run completely fine.
I'm running resurrection rom, but it's done this on several other roms I've tried. However all roms are AOKP/AOSP based if that's relevant.
If there is anymore information I can offer please don't hesitate to ask. I searched the forums and couldn't seem to find anyone else really talking about this. It can be a giant headache so hopefully I can get it sorted.

If this has just started recently in would say it is indeed apart of the cm base, and related to kernel issue. Since the kernel devs are using cm and their kernel base most ROMs kernels have the same base, which means in a round about way they may react the same way on your device. To me, you said graphic glitch, then reboot. I would bump up your voltage little by little and see if it stops, I also would change govs in the kernel.. I'm assuming it happens on any cm kernels you've tried? Yank555 has an awesome cm kernel I would highly recommend, or even imoseyon always has a solid stable cm kernel as well.

How are you transferring the firmware? The heavy cable with the heavy plug? If so, it might have damaged your device's USB port and is causing intermittent disconnections which are corrupting the data as it is transferred. Try a lightweight cable and make sure it is firmly seated, then don't let it move during the transfer.
If this solves it then maybe look into replacement due to faulty design.
Frank

It is happening on all roms, however the only custom roms I've tried are CM based. I'll take a look at these other kernels and see if that resolves. Thanks for the help and idea's so far guys.

I've been having the same issues. Hellish reboots though. 10+ a day... Keep me posted. Thanks

[Q] Touchscreen problem

Hi everyone,
TL;DR: I have an issue with the touchscreen of my Find 7 qhd (x9076), while on any other ROM than stock it my touchscreen glitches or something.
After installing a custom Rom, like PA, Dirty unicorns, CM, Nameless or any other available for this device (I believe I've tried all of them). The device works just like it should, nothing wrong with the touchscreen. But after like half a day, it starts to 'glitch'. Sensitivity is very low, when I press here it detects a press somewhere else.
I've got a temporary solution which is wiping the cache in recovery, then it works for a short period of time, but then it starts gliching again..
On stock rom the issue doesn't exists, but I realy do want to use a custom one.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Or maybe someone who has a solution?
Thanks in advance!
P.s every install is a full wipe, tried multiple recoveries, non-unified

I've read that the touchscreen fixes implemented by Oppo only work on ColorOS even though ROM makers have already implemented the fixes into the Roms. I'm not sure why, though

Hmm that's unfortunate, but it seems to me that I am one of a few people having trouble with this? Why don't other x9076 users have this problem?

Try to flash back stock recovery then flash COS 1.20 in systembase, then upgrade to COS 1.25, Then upgrade to 2.0 or above. Then flash custom recovery and rom again. This is the step you will not have problem in custom Rom. I am 100% sure.

I have the same problem, and I'm running Stock OS.
v2.1.4i Beta
This is how I bought the phone, interesting that it reads Beta...

I've updated to the latest firmware and still having touch screen sensitivity issues.
Someone has got too have some advise.... Oppoooooo.....

TouchScreen Auto Test - FAIL
I did the TouchScreen Auto Test and showed FAIL. Has anyone else shown this error?

Hi, I am having exactly same touch screen problem with custom roms, have tried both Omni and crDroid.
Is there a solution for this? I didn't have this problem in COS before.

What's the auto test?
I‘m on COS 2.1.5I and sensitivity works ok so far. I did have auto brightness problems but xposed and gravitybox has helped me adjust a lot of that out. Now it doesn‘t over dim in low light.

Auto test in COS is ok, I only had this problem in custom Roms, COS worked smoothly,so I reckon it's could be driver issue in custom Rom, maybe there are new fix for some panels are not included in custom Rom.

I never had any problems with touchscreen on find 7 until now. I have been extremely satisfied with this device until now. I have the find 7 9076.
There is a lengthy discussion of this touchscreen problem on the oppo forums.
My opinion is, it has nothing to do with the rom or firmware. It is a physical problem caused by heat. Once overheated, the digitizer gets somehow damaged.
I left my phone on a table in direct sunlight for hours while working on my lawnmower. I noticed it got very hot to touch. Ever since then my touchscreen has problems where there were no problems for 2 years prior. Dead spots, phantom touches and behaves sluggish in certain spots. Upper screen in portrait.
I tried wiping and reinstalling. Nothing works to fix this.
I even tried sealing it in a ziplock bag and freezing it. This actually works but its only temporary. The digitizer got damaged from heat. There is no "software" fix.
The only solution I can see is to physically replace the digitizer. This is a difficult thing to do but can be done.
I am considering replacing replacing the entire screen along with the digitizer as this is much easier but the problem is getting the high res replacement. Most after market screens are not equal to oppo's. The cost of OEM is too high.
Shame because this problem makes me now shy away from oppo devices.

Okay,
I opened up the phone.
Set to try and pry off/seperate the digitizer and replace with new one.
Decided to try something first.
Unplugged the digitizer and held power button (to release any stored up energy in the phone). Resnapped in digitizer cable to connector.
Reassembled the phone.
Put battery back in. Rebooted.
Sure enough, its all working. The full touchscreen is working with no dead spots or glitches.
For how long? Who knows?
Keeping this thing out of the heat.
