I own this phone, and it just lays around my room. But that is most likely a hardware issue.

Hi guys!
I recently (1 week?) updated my HTC One M8 to the Android Revolution HD 53.1 ROM. Suddenly, now, I can't open the official HTC Camera App. Well, actually, yes. I open it, and I just see a black screen, but the lower buttons. I can change to selfie mode, and it works perfect. However, when I try the rear camera, it doesn't function (just black screen and closes after ~4seconds). I took the last pictures less than 16 hours ago):
I've tried OpenCamera App, and it's also a black screen, although it doesn't freeze. I paste you the logcat, hope you can help me, guys! It would be awesome, thanks in advance. I've no idea of what can be happening, I don't even know if it's due to the ROM, because it worked perfectly yesterday...

have you try another custom rom and check back your cam?
if the problem persist then I assume hardware problem

After wiping my smartphone, it didn't worked... I supposed a Hardware problem.
But suddenly, since this afternoon, it works without problem. I don't know what can be happening.
I hope it doesn't occur any more

so glad to hear that mate
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
Hi guys,last week a friend of mine dropped my phone onto the ground. Some hours later i discovered that both the camera's didnt work,popping a message.I tried clearing the camera cache,but nothing happened.Later on even the torch and the notification led didnt work properly,and now i dont have idea on what i have to do.Could it be a software problem? I'm actually running ResurrectionRemix 7.1,is it worth trying to rollback to stock? I already opened the phone and checked all the connectors,and it doesnt seem that they were disconnected or anything.(at least the front camera and the back one)
Any advices?

Rolling back to stock would be my first advice , hairline fractures in PCB/circuitry wont be picked up by human eye.

If it got dropped then stopped working, that pretty much indicates a hardware problem.

Hi guys,i managed to open the phone and to check all the camera cables,then it worked out of nowhere.So its pretty much solved.
Hello guys!
I've got a (big) problem with my G3. Rear camera is not detected anymore. Only front camera is working (image is upside-down)
I've tried to reflash the stock firmware, it opened the rear camera but the app crashed, so it didn't worked.
Do you know what can I do to get the rear camera back to life?
Thanks!
Open your phone and check the connection at the motherboard where the camera is.

I will try this as soon as I get the necessary tools.
If I reflash stock rom I can open rear camera for about 1-2 seconds, I can see the image, but it will crash and will end having only portrait mode and no flash.

PM me to help you tear down your phone and not make any mistakes.
Problem solved.
I don't know how, got fixed by itself.
I have to replace battery now because my phone won't start-up without charging (bootloop - 100% not a soft problem).
Thanks!
Does anyone have problem with front camera.Rear camera works perfect.When i press shutter on front camera it takes 5 seconds or more to take a shot even if ic in focus.Tryed wipeing camera app cache but still same.

Yep same problem, you can solve it by tapping to focus before pressing shutter, and also night mode during the day seems to work too
When I manually updated my phone I had the same issue. Try to wipe cache partition in the recovery. It worked for me.

Tried that, didn't help, it's trying to focus which is why tapping to focus first fixes it, hopefully fixed in another update
I'm also facing this issue, I'll try the tap to focus and see if this helps until they fix it
Maybe try to clear data for camera app? I've read somewhere that it helps.

Tryed but doesn't help.
I have the same problem. I tried all your suggestions and still takes at least 5 seconds to take the picture. In Live focus is even worse rejecting completely to take the picture. Any other suggestion, please ?

Yes, hence this thread
Tap to focus before hitting shutter fixes it, then wait for an update from Samsung for a real fix

Hello i have exactly the same problem on my galaxy ultra.
This focusing problem is really frustrating.
I hope Samsung will fix it in the next update.
