Camera Issue

I just recently bought a used black myTouch 3G Slide, and it is in excellent condition. I only have 1 problem though...... My camera isn't working correctly. I have done some searching online, but I have found no solutions. Everyone seems to replace their phone by T-Mobile. Unfortunately I can't do that since I didn't get the warrant from the guy I bought it from. : / In an attempt to fix this problem I loaded a custom ROM. Cyanogen Mod 6 is amazing, but it didn't fix my problem. I even tried downloading FXCamera from the market, but still nothing. Looking around the net it seems XDA is one of the best forums for android users. Can anyone please assist me, or possibly link something that will help me fix this annoying problem?
Btw, hello everyone at XDA! I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum!

I myself probably cannot help, but I can be helpful!
From looking around, I think it might help others here if you describe what exactly is going on with the camera.
Is the screen blank? Does it force close? Can you take pictures, but they don't save or maybe they save as black image? What happens?
I hope that there's some sort of fix for you, since I can't help... but I can try to get more insight into the issue from you... and bump the thread so people can see and maybe help out!

When I take a picture it doesn't focus. Pictures up close are really good quality, but anything that is not right in front of the camera is blurry. I have auto focus on, and tried manually focusin but no luck. I hold my hand still, and I hold down the picture button to focus. It still takes crap pictures.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me, your focus is stuck/broken. Warranty replacement maybe?

Not to be an ass, but did you read my post? I said I bought it from someone on craigslist, and I don't have a warranty.

Yeah I didn't see that at first, sorry. Then aside from buying a broken slide off ebay and salvaging the camera from it and manually installing it into your phone, or paying tmobile to repair it, you're out of luck.

I agree with MusicMan374, it sounds like a hardware issue if you have auto focus on or it doesn't respond when you select what item to focus on using the screen (stock rom)

[Q] Camera Issues

Hi everyone,
I got my M8 in May (8 months of warranty remaining).The phone was working fine for the first 2 months, then whenever I tried to load the camera app I got a message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." It happened randomly not all the time, Force Stop and Clearing Cache didn't work. After reboot the camera app did load, but only the front-facing camera worked. I could see the rear camera in the options but couldn't select it. Then I thought I found a solution - Wiping Cache in Recovery worked. Anytime this happened I just wiped the cache in recovery and the Camera app functioned normally.
Last week when I tried to load the camera app I got a black screen and it minimised. Did the wipe and got the front facing camera only. Tried disable/enable Camera app and again wiped cache still nothing happened. Only the front camera is functional. Anyone ever faced this problem with the M8's camera.
I am keeping Factory Reset and Warranty as a last resort. (The HTC Service Center said they'll have to keep the phone for 5 days & I find it near impossible to spend that much time without a smartphone.)
*I don't have Lastpass installed and the phone is stock.

Lol, why are you so addicted to your smartphone ? Let HTC enjoy with it for a few days, since they made it. Many of them had their M8's stocked up in the service centers for 2-3 weeks !. Go ahead and give it a shot, if Factory Reset doesn't work. :good:

I'm like skeptical, but it might be a hardware issue. By the way, does your M8 have scratches on the display ?

Just received my phone today. The service rep. said it was a software issue so they downloaded the latest firmware.
I told him I already had the latest firmware, to which he said they have some sort of online connection directly with HTC and that they get their firmware from there. Apparently not the same as downloading according to him. Anyway my Camera is working perfectly.

Nope, they didn't replace it. I don't remember it being there when I purchased the phone, so probably I scratched it somehow.

A lot of times, our fingers reach the lens as a comfortable spot for holding the phone, as its too large. The same applies to others who use the device. They put their fingers into the camera cut outs for holding the phone firmly. Poor lens gets scratched in this process and all the M8 users suffer from the issue. The situation becomes worse when someone tries to clean the lens and finds out that the lens has been scratched. I have my wildfire up and running till date. I admit,but there is only a tiny scratch at the corner of the lens !

Autofocus Issue

Anyone having issues with their autofocus? Mine seems completely busted - not sure if it is just a hardware defect or something that has popped up through repeated flashing. Camera was great out of the box, but over the past month, I've had several issues with AF getting a clear lock on something and recently regardless of being on stock OOS (3.1.2, 3.2.4, 3.5.2, etc.) or one of the many roms hosted here my screen jumps back and forth, zooms in and out and fails to get a proper lock. Frustrating as can be - debating switching away from OP3 given the camera has become useless - any recommendations or anyone sharing this issue?

I haven't experienced any focus issues yet, but if the problem is identical regardless of the software driving it, I'd say there is something hardware-related at fault. Are you only using stock camera apps, or have you tried 3rd party camera apps and get the same thing?

Same across the board. Tried going back to 3.1.x versions, up to 3.5.2 CB, over to the CM and AOSP-roms in the hopes something would stick but it's terrible all around. Went as far as doing complete wipe and factory reset to potentially clear out any profiles stored on internal memory but still having issues. Took me 4 minutes today to take picture of grocery list for my wife - would not focus on text regardless of how close/far I moved the paper. Have session with 'remote tech support' for OP3 on Wednesday as if that's going to do anything...

Once they identified it as autofocus they didn't try to say it was software, they replaced no problem?

He told that in the beginning.I told him I wiped dalvik cache and stuff.He didn't believe it was a hardware issue,He then formatted the phone....The result was same! He ordered the camera on Thursday...I got the phone on next Saturday The camera has to come all the way from China!
Actually many people are facing this issue..

So.... just go the OS 4.5 and autofocus issue still not fixed..... How come they don't even answer when the issue is reported by so many people...
It occurred suddenly from one day to the next...

I had same issue. Auto focus progressively got worse. Issue was camera OIS.
Replaced the camera myself and back to normal. Cost about £15 for camera and tools and takes about 30 minutes to replace.

i'm not happy with my device anymore thanks to this issue, oneplus don't want to respond because they know that this is a hardware bug, i am not going to buy any other chinese trash in my life again, i miss my iphone ....

Hi, Had the same issue got the camera module replaced from SC. working fine since then.

So...
After trying many things (3rd part apps, hoped for a fix with 4.5.0 or 4.5.1 OS updates but nothing, a hard reset, then a factory reset) I hoped that OP Service center would repair the phone that became unusable due to blurriness.... It was sent to Arvato service team in Czech Republic (I am in Sweden).
And then after a few days I learned about this "no partial repair" policy... They will fix the autofocus (no problem, under warranty) without saying what the issue is because.... my OP3 has a small crack on a corner of the screen and it enough for the Arvato service team to say that the screen needs to be replaced (not under warranty) because they don't do partial repair...
Even if the crack has nothing to do with the issue and repairing the screen is totally irrelevant in the matter, I am forced to pay these 110 EUR to get my phone back with a functional autofocus... (Option 2 is to pay 50 EUR to get it back not repaired and Option 3: Scrap the phone for free :cyclops: )
After doing some quick search I found out that this way of doing is common in the branch.... If they all do it, I guess it's not illegal.... quite unbelievable how the customers are handled... You learn everyday, isn't it?

Camera (stopped working) issues (H815 europe)

I'm having some rather annoying issues with my G4, the camera barely works, sometimes it opens but i get a black screen, like my finger is on the lens, but it's not. Sometimes that results in an error message "Unfortunately, camera has stopped" or "camera unavailable", sometimes it just stays black and sometimes the phone reboots.
And now lately i can't use the flashlight anymore, says it's already being used.
The camera works again after i reboot, but most of the times i have to reboot multiple times.
I read quite a few forums and even threads here and tried pretty much everything (clearing cache, uninstalling LG Smartworld or something like that, removing the battery, etc.) and nothing really worked, so yesterday i finally decided it was time for more drastic measures and i unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then installed Imperium ROM v14 and it seemed fine but today i get a black screen again. I didn't restore any of my previous apps and settings on purpose, to see if they were causing the problem.
Someone here suggested (to someone else) to try flashing KDZ or something like that, i and probably the other guy, have no idea what KDZ is or where to get it.
I bought this phone used almost 2 years ago, so i have no warranty. Didn't have any issues until about 6-9 months ago and they seem to be getting worse, battery life isn't what it used to be either.
My only options are to try a non-stock rom like CM, to go back to an android 5.0 based rom, or to sell the phone as a semi-defective product, maybe i can get a used S5 for it.
This is very frustrating and somewhat ironic, since i bought this phone because it had the best camera at the time and i barely use it for anything else than taking pictures.
I'm never buying LG again.
This is a fairly common issue, maybe common enough that it should be a sticky.

Got the same issue after display repair. Camera got broken. I always needed to reboot phone so camera gets working again. Only fix was to send it to repair. They replaced camera, after that it worked again normal.
For me it was guarantee because before display repair I didn't have issue like that.
You can replace your camera, I don't think it's so difficult.
It's also not that expensive:

about 20-30€

OK, that's something i didn't even think of, so it's definitely a hardware issue ?
I read up on this KDZ thing and it seems to be a firmware updater for LG phones, would using that help ? and/or is the risk of bricking he phone too great ?

It is hardware issue. I had exact same issue. I was in stock. Didn't modify anything. After display repair they completely reflashed it. Of course you can try other firmware, but really had the same issue.
I didn't spend so much time on it, therefore don't remember exactly if i got force closes.
I only remember that the camera worked, later i got black screen, i could see the buttons, but no pic. After restart it worked again.
I also thought software issue because after restart it worked. Tried really everything which was possible without unlocked bootloader, but didn't worked.
I can't say it is definitive, could be also a motherboard issue. Or an other part of the camera (flash light, ir sensor), I only tell you what was replaced on my phone.
I would try it, camera is not so expensive.

Flashlight is camera related. I believe i had the same issue with flash light.
I think I tried to use other camera apps, i always got the message, that it is in use.
If it is mainboard, you should buy a new phone. Mainboard is too expensive.
But I don't believe in it, mainboard issue your phone wouldn't start anymore as we know how sensitive G4 is.
Flashlight would only freeze camera while making photos. You can check ir sensor, use an other camera and check out if there comes light from sensor.
I don't think that would be the reason to stop the camera from working.

So if the back camera is broken then why doesn't the front one work ? is it because they both run in 1 app and are kinda tied together ?
The replacement back camera should be arriving in 1-2 days.

I have had it where there camera crashed out the box
Back on my g2. It was a refurb. And ended up being corrupted firmware and or kernel. After a reflash of firmware worked great. Ures sounds firmware related if the front aint working either. Have u tried any 3rd party camera apps to see if same results

Strange way to write 'yours', so using KDZ to update or reflash the firmware might help ? is it risky ?
I haven't tried it since i installed the Imperium Rom, but with the stock rom any and all apps that used the camera wouldn't work.
This all started after i sideloaded the google camera app (to take VR photos), which was not supported by the G4, i wonder if doing that is what caused all this.

There havebeen a few camera failures and a good majority have been hardware related.
As long as u dont downgrade ure firmware not risky. And yes if thats when ure issues started i would safely say that is the issue. U may just try reflashing the rom ure on clean wipe all but ext sd. And start over and see if it persists

Well i just went from stock to Imperium and while unlocking the phone everything was wiped anyway so doing that again won't change anything, unless there is some cache or something i don't know about.
Anyway, i ordered this new camera so i'll wait for it and if that doesn't work then i'll try reflashing the firmware.
Are newer LG flagships (G5, G6) just as poorly built ? cuz i'm pretty sure i'm going back to samsung after this.

I think they are. Dont know forst hand. I love my note 5. My battery xied in it the other day so im waitin on a bettery hopefully it works. Im been so fed up with lg.

got the new camera but haven't installed it yet since my phone has other issues right now, like freezing, random restarts, the quick toggles are gone, my wallpapers seems to have been removed, etc. and now it's stuck on booting (not bootlooping though)
I would like to reflash the firmware (KDZ) but the get the right one i need my IMEI number (the one underneath the battery seems to not be the one) or to see what software version the phone is running, i would need a working phone for both.
Would reflashing the Imperium rom fix this ?
The imperium rom is v20P, but there is no kdz firmware like that only V20D or V20G

Have that for months
That freakin camera issue is haunting me for months. I have tried reflashing EVERY freaking rom(stock,cm,everything) and it doesnt change anything. I have teardown my g4 to parts,plug them in and still the same.Sometimes works for a week,sometimes doesnt work for 1 month. I don;t get it. Finally someone with my problem! Man can you replace the camera module and tell me if that works so i order mine?

Also no, i can't try that for you right now, like i wrote previously i got bigger problems, also i got my camera locally for like $15, if you tried everything else that is not a lot of money to spend, and if it doesn't fix your problem then you can just resell the camera. Now go do it.

i reflash using kdz and other programs. To give you the prespective that even deletes the twrp and fully wipes all phones data and flashes the new ones.If you flash yours it sould be fine because i have flashed nearly all the letters (ex. v20d,e etc). Flash it see that the camera is not fixed and then change the module to tell me..in greece new camera costs 30 euros so it's not that cheap for me to spend and then does not fix nothing

Well i didn't buy a new one, i bought a used one from local listings site (like craigslist in the USA or Kijiji in Canada, every country has their own) and if the new camera doesn't work you can sell it for the exact same amount, all it will cost you is shipping and time.
If i can fix the booting issue and i still have camera issues i will install the new camera, but don't wait for me, it could take weeks, or i could just get angry and buy a used Samsung Galaxy S5 and throw this in the trash (or most likely sell it for parts)

It's not a shop, it's a website like ebay, anyone can sell anything there, you have many sites like that i'm sure, every country does. 99% of things sold there are by regular people like you and me.
Google "used lg g4 camera for sale" (in your language) and the first 5 websites will probably be what you are looking for.
This is what ours looks like https://www.olx.ro/oferte/q-lg-g4/, there are at least 10-20 smaller sites, there are even facebook groups, where people post the stuff they don't want anymore.
You're saying you have none of these ?

One Plus 3 Rear camera wont focus!

The rear camera on my one plus 3 sudedenly stopped focussing
It worked great but about a week back, it suddenly went bad. I've tried using manual focus but that doesn't work either.
It only works at times when I vigously shake it and then it goes bad again
Has anyone encountered this issue? Any fixes?
There are no proper service centres where I live.

Probably a result of the camera module becoming loose due to a fall (not necessarily recent). Search on XDA for this issue. I remember reading about atleast a couple of threads/posts about having solved this issue. You will have to open the back of the phone, locate the camera module and fix it. Or order a new module and replace the old one. Costwise it is not too high.

Replace your camera - this is ONLY permanent fix.
I done it on my OP3T and it works again.

Had exactly the same issue (resolved temporarily after vigorous shaking - it's a known issue and quite common) last year with my OnePlus 3. TL;DR: Definitely contact OnePlus and they'll replace the camera module for free assuming no other physical or water damage. I have in the past had mediocre experiences with OnePlus support, so was frankly astonished at the way and speed in which they handled this. Should have a year or two of life left in the phone now and certainly a new sense of brand loyalty for future purchases.
As for my experience:
- Problems started in around February.
- Finally contacted OnePlus support via official chat in late November, was asked to factory reset to see if that helped. Didn't help.
- (25/11) They fast tracked my RMA request, even though out of warranty.
- (27/11) Phone sent by courier from UK to Poland for repair (as with you, no service centres here)
- (28/11) Device repaired
- (29/11) Phone sent back to me
- (02/12) Phone received a week after being sent and camera working perfectly. Total cost to me £0.
Side note: Definitely get a Google Camera mod once your phone is fixed if you don't already have one. Breathes a new lease of life into the camera with some software smarts. I use this one: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog849/ as recommended by the XDA Google Camera Port Hub.

Replaced for free

The rear camera on my one plus 3 sudedenly stopped focussing
It worked great but about a week back, it suddenly went bad. I've tried using manual focus but that doesn't work either.
It only works at times when I vigously shake it and then it goes bad again
Has anyone encountered this issue? Any fixes?
There are no proper service centres where I live.

They replaced it for free as it was a manufacturing defect even though warranty was over.

One year ago my oneplus 3 experienced a hard time when rear camera focusing. I was in china, so I called oneplus support and the guy one the phone told me that i can mail my phone to the services center in beijing and then they replace a new rear camera for free(even though the warranty are expired).
Replace the rear camera may be the only fix. Perhaps you can call the services number on oneplus website and ask for help
