It's been quote some time now that my HTC one m8's camera is making pictures upside-down and in very poor quality. The front cam has not got this problemen so it's only about the camera on the back. It all started when I downloaded an app from the xposed installer downloads called SnapchatLensesEnabler. It did what I wanted it to do, enable snapchat lenses, but it also had this nasty side effect of turning my normal camera image upside down. After deleting this app it did not vanish. Even after a clean installation of another ROM I still have to cope with this. Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
Did you recently get a camera module replacement for your M8… I experienced the same problem when I changed my M7s rear camera and found it to be that of One M4, it took upside down pictures too so I replaced it with the correct module of One M7 and the problem was solved.
I don't know any other such case.

I haven't seen anything about this, but my rear camera occasionally goes entirely black. At first I thought it was a problem with the 4.3 roms, but it's started happening even with TW Roms. At first I attributed it to having the Nottach framework on there, but that has been removed and I still have my camera black. Front camera works just fine. I may have to go back to stock and see if it is broken to see if it's a physical issue with the phone, but I thought I'd ask and see if this was well-known first.
Edit: If I put the camera in "Panorama" mode, the camera activates, but it is all out-of-focus. I'm thinking this means it's a software issue. Using Wicked v4 ROM.

I'm stock never rooted and my vamera blacks out sometimes where closing tye camera app doesnt do anything so I have to restart my phone to get it right again. I would like to know if this is a common thing or if there is something wrong with mine as well

In case anyone else is having this problem, I eventually solved it. I flashed Infamous then Wicked v5.1 - camera was still black on both of these. Opened Google Edition Camera photosphere and started taking the pictures and that fixed it somehow. Not sure what the hell was the problem, but it hasn't been an issue since then.
I bought my phone 3 weeks ago and all was fine until yesterday.
suddenly my back camera can't focus at items that are far then 5 cm.
I tried to install other camera app but it didn't work.
I tried to restore the camera to default and it didn't help.
front camera works well.
anyone can help?
Might be general problem?
I can only tell that focus of the back camera seems to be very sensitive towards fingerprints and dirt on the lens as well as low brightness. Couldn't get a single good shot in the evening. But if you have focus problems with a cleaned lens on objects in direct sunlight it's obviously a different problem.
Autofocus problem
I ve the same problem on my p8000. Autofocus on back camera doesn't work. I ve installed also Camera fv-5 app and it said me that autofocus doesn't work... Could be that same FOTA update has genereted the problem?
I think it's difficult it is an hardware problem...
I have the same problem. I tried multiple different Roms and Kernels and still the autofocus is not working. Also the headphone jack just stopped working.
I am starting to hate that peace of crap. And elephones service = Zero.
Its a good concept by the way to build high tech phones with hardware that breaks after some weeks and software that only works partially so that you have to flash a rom to get nearly everything working but you loose your warranty doing that.. I will never buy a "cheap" china phone again.
same problem with my p8000 version B, when i using banking deposit check, can't auto focus. hope someone can fix it
I am too facing the same problem. However, I tried Blueflame's CM and it was working well. So I guess there is something wrong with the binaries. It would be great if someone could prepare a flashable zip for fixing it.

cm still no work, you can look like auto focus, but not very helping , when you using banking apps deposit check, will have auto focus problem
have the same problem after it fall off the ground. seems like a hardware failure
really like the phone but cant use the cam anymore. **** happens
Hi,
My treat camera used to work fine, but one day started the autofocus started to fail, and pictures taken are blurry.
I've checked using other camera applications (which don't use the laser focus) but all are having the same issue.
I've ordered a new camera and changed, just to find the same issue.
I've noted that when using the magic mode, the pictures taken can be manually focused and they are good as they used to be.
I've also run the camera test on the hidden menu, and it shows AF failed.
Any idea? Is it possible to calibrate the focus of the camera?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
so for the past few weeks my camera hasn't been working and I finally decided to ask you guys for help.
It all started when I wanted to try RR but it kept asking for 21C modem so I quickly downloaded one and flashed it. So I checked what I needed and restored Fulmics from the nandroid backup I made, but the camera app stared to just crash and since then I pretty much don't have camera.
What I've tried till now:
Restoring to stock
Flashing Fulmics again
Replacing the camera
Still can't resolve this issue...
By restoring to stock, do you mean flashing a TOT or KDZ file?
If you have done that and still not working you have something broken in your hardware.
Is the front camera working?
I guess you have already tried a different camera app.

Sorry for the late reply. I used the kdz file. The front camera is working. The thing is that yesterday the camera worked for a few minutes just fine. It's strange.

Ummm... sounds strange... maybe your camera is partly broken, did you drop your phone or something before this problem? If so, the camera could have a bad connection to the motherboard or is about to die.

I know right? I've never dropped it. I replaced the camera so I wonder if it can somehow be a software problem...
Just wanted to bump this as I STILL have this problem...
Same issue here, was running fulmics for several months with no issue, then suddenly and out of nowhere my camera app started to fail. At first the front camera looked stretched and weird and some app buttons dissapeared such as flash, but I could still choose front or rear camera and both worked fine. Then it got worse and the button to switch cameras dissapeared completely. I tried re flashing fulmics, tried xenon rom, tried back to stock... nothing so far. I tried booting in safe mode and the camera app gives me the option to choose rear camera but when I press it the app crashes.
I hope someone can find a fix for this!

No software update inbetween? Sounds like a hardware issue, try cleaning your connections and reattaching the Camera tightly.
The camera module is extremely close to the problematic overheating chip in the G3, so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have Exactly the same problem.. Pleaaase someone give us a solution.. Fulmics ruined our phones
I have that same problem. Resolved?
There were fulmics rum. I decided to replace it with RR rom. The rear camera did not work, the flash did not work.
I installed a different kernel but it was not resolved.
Help plsss
hello guys and girls
i have HTC one M8 for about two years. one day i decided to take a picture.
i open the camera app and its on the selfie mode, i tried to switch mode and i notice that my rear camera option is gone, i had only selfie and photo booth mode. checked my flash and it was not working too.
after i check the net for Solutions and i did several things, like: clear cache and data files from camera app, switch camera app, and even factory reset. but nothings help!
i decided to check the hardware so i strip down my phone check the cables and connectors.
what i have discovered is when i take the phone out of its metal back case and start it up every things work well!!
once i put it all back together it stops working again. the only thing i removed and fitted was the metal case.
i think its something with the conductors that touched the case but i cant find the Solution please help!!!
Thank you for the time share,
best regards.
Hi
I have the exact same problem as you
I have my m8 since 2014 and I'm fully happy with it, it works well
But during a party, I wanted to take a picture and the only camera I have is the rear camera or the second (2 mpxl)
I tried yo find a way out :
1/ flash a new rom, not working
2/ check the hardware, no idea
3/ change the camera : I receive a brand-new piece and I replace the camera but not working neither
So it's not a problem from camera, if you have found any solution please contact me!!

hello to all
i fixed my camera and im very happy from my phone again.
the problem for me was that when i remove the metal bake case the camera works fine, at the moment i assembly the phone back my camera not work again.
i assume that the metal case press the camera or the connectors in some way that it wont work.
so i take a piece of silicon and tape it inside near the camera, in a way that when i put back the back metal case it will make a small gap between the camera an the case.
today i am a week later and it work perfect.
i hope it will work for you all
Hi motybh4
Can you add pics where you fixed the silicon tape?
Thanks in advance

hey
of course, sorry for the delay
Is this solution with silicone working?
Maybe it is the problem with soft?
