I've replaced the screen on my Nexus 5x with the full digitizer and frame assembly, got everything back together plus moved all of the various pieces, rubber pieces, strips of tape, etc. and now the (stock) camera app keeps crashing whenever i open it. i briefly see myself in the camera app from the front-facing camera for a split second before it crashes.
i've tried fully resetting the device (from the recovery menu) to no avail. the device is not rooted.
any suggestions?
Try to remove then reconnect back the front and rear camera connectors from main board.
Tried that several times already. It didn't help.

Hello all. I have an issue with my HTC Desire (BravoC).
Any time I open up the default camera app or a camera app off of the market it just goes to a blank screen and if I try to press anything such as the menu button or trackpad key it causes a Force Close error.
Along with the camera, I can't get the Torch app or any flashlight apps to work either. However the flash will randomly go off so I know it does still function. I don't know if the two are related or two separate issues entirely.
I've tried reflashing:Factory Reset>Clear Cache> Cleak Dalvik Cache>New ROM and I've tried this with CM7, Ultimate Droid, and MIUI with out restoring any settings with Titanium.
I also tried reseating all of the connections to the (mother?) board because I had replaced a cracked screen previously and along with that taking the battery and SD card out for 30 secs.
I'm really fresh out of ideas as to what it might be. Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas what it could be or what I could try to?

Bump for this
I would very carefully check all ribbon cables to your camera hardware to make sure they are not torn. Even the slightest tear in the cable could cause any number of problems. I once switched out the casing on my Sony Ericsson W810 and at some point ripped the ribbon cable to the camera without realizing it. For some reason this caused the screen to no longer work even though the phone (a "dumbphone" (which could natively do email) mind you) would boot normally, making calls and such.
I've got a HTC Desire which has been rooted and Im running Sandvold's ICS. I needed to reboot my phone the other day and after the reboot my camera shows a black screen of death. I first thought it might be a corrupted OS - I reinstall, restores a previous working backing, factory reset - none of them helped which leads me to believe its a hardware fault.
When I run the camera I get a black screen and sometimes a popup that says camera is not responding.
I download a flashlight app and the camera LED doesn't appear to work either - it also says flashlight is not responding.
I though replacing the camera module might do the trick but the flashlight is not part of the module? Anyone has any similar problems?
When you say black screen of death (widely known among windows OS users as KSOD), do you then mean a black screen followed by a system crash which is resolved by pulling out the battery or a black screen followed by system reboot?
try a non ICS rom... think camera is pretty unstable on ICS rom
Thanks - I'll try and go back to stock and see.
I just get a black screen - no OS crash. I can go back and everything is still working fine - no reboots.
Update: Ok - it must be a hardware problem.
I've gone back to CM7 - factory reset/new SD card. Still the same problem.
Update2: Ok - its fixed. Let hope this helps someone else. I opened the phone up and removed the top board and then saw one of the ribbon cables was loose (the one on the left) I reseated it and now camera and flash work perfectly again! Woo hoo!!
flexi cable loose connection to the lower board (the board with the SIM reader)
many thanks !
after disassembling the phone, the connector , the one on the left was not very well connected to the board, so i removed both boards, upper one with the camera and lower one with the sim card reader
plugging it back, and assembling everything made it all work
in my case, the following was not working:
camera
flash
mic jack
now it is all working perfect !!
to see how to disassemble it: check youtube desire disassemble

Hi,
Had my phone a couple of years, no problems, but recently cracked the screen.
Bought three replacement screens and fitted them in phone:
* 1st one touchscreen digitiser worked perfectly all the time but LCD was broken (had lines/artifacts on it) - sent it back.
* 2nd one, same supplier as first, LCD worked, but digitiser works intermittently - it always works immediately after phone reboot, but after the screen locks for the first time, it then has a problem where it registers an input when I'm not giving any, so the screen goes haywire and I can't even enter my pin or restart phone (Have to use red button in sim card bay). Occasionally and randomly when I try it, it sometimes works so I can enter my pin, and then use the phone until the next time the screen locks....but basically phone is rendered unusable, because this is totally random. Sent this one back too.
* 3rd one bought from a different supplier - AFAIK this one is a genuine Sony part (it at least has the Sony logo on it), but have the same digitiser problem as the second. Time has passed to send this back.
Due to the above description I am sure it is not a problem with the phone (1st one digitser worked perfectly & original cracked screen digitser worked for half the screen where it wasn't cracked). I'm also sure it's a software issue, since it works everytime following a phone reset but before the screen is locked. Behaviour seems to be the same at different temperatures. Also inspected the flex connector and ribbon components under microscope at work, and saw no problems.
One think I noticed is that all 3 screens I bought have no insualting backing on the back of the LCD, so the metal back touches the metal shield below - I did not see any screens to buy with the insulating backing - I wondered if this could be affecting the EMC behaviour of the screen (some capacitivie coupling with the digitiser or some type of grounding issue) - but then why would the digitiser of 1st screen work ok, and work for >1hour following a reset but then not after a screen lock?
Tried turning glove mode on/off - no difference in behaviour. Tried using screen while it is not fitted in phone housing (not touching metal shield), same behaviour.
I saw a couple of threads from a while back, but don't know if they are up to date, or if a solution to this problem is now known:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691849
This one gives a solution, but then says at the top of the thread DON'T TRY THIS FIX, IT IS A HARDWARE ISSUE NOT SOFTWARE.....so I'm worried to try it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662457
This one is to adjust the touchscreen sensitivity, but even though I have root access, I get an error message relating to the mount commandwhen trying to copy the edited idc file back to the system\usr\idc directory, "operation not permitted'.
Does anyone know a reliable fix that works? Or how I can get write access to idc folder to try editing the clearpad file? I don't have an SD card for my phone, but not sure it is essential for these methods?
Thanks

Assuming you're on LP 5.1... System rw access is disabled by default, even with root. Flashing dual recovery by NUT is easiest way to get it. Then you should be able to move files in boot or in recovery.
Hello everyone.
I'm restoring my old zenfone 2 (ze551ml). After a very bad smash on the ground, I had to replace the screen and the frame. Other internals seems to be fine, except for the battery lid (the metallic one under the sim card socket), which is lightly bended on a corner. It's actually on stock firmware (6.0.1). Taking pictures, while the camera app (the stock one) is saving a photo into the gallery, the phone shuts down. Then, it doesn't boot until it's plugged to a charger, even with a charged battery. I still have not tried any 3rd party app for camera. Does anyone had this kind of problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I forgot to say I've already done a factory reset from recovery, the problem still persists.
Edit #2: I've downgraded to LP, but the problem still persists. Despite this, a third party camera app works properly
I decided to repair my old Moto G5 who had a broken screen at the upper right corner.
When broken, it worked for few minutes and than the screen started to shrink and blink and and disappear.
Today i replaced the broken screen with the new one. Before proceding to remove the old one , i tested the new one by attaching it to the motherboard and it worked very well, no glitches, touch was good, had it tested for a couple of minutes, than removed the old one and placed the new one. Powered on the phone and it worked great. I was able to factory reset it, connect the wifi, test the screen, etc. but after 5 minutes it started with vertical stripes , disapperared and reappeared, flickering and dead.
I noticed that the motherboard was very hot when i removed the battery to shut it down.
When powered on again, it didn't show the screen, but the startup audio was working...
Thinking it wa an heating issue, i put it in the freezer (in a sealed container) and after 10 minutes, i turned it on... and it worked again, letting me test it for another 5 minutes before starting the issues again.
I disabled everything, no wifi, no bluetooth , no sim or sd. The issue happens also in bootloader mode by pressing power+vol- , works for some minutes, letting me brows the boot menu, but if i wait, the screen does the issues again.
Now i have to options :
1) Understand the issue and fix it
2) find someone in Antartica or Artic regions to use the phone at -25 celsius.
Thank You
A chip in your motherboard is malfunctioning. You gotta get it replaced. after 5 mins the problematic chip gets so hot it glitches your whole system. If you have a heat camera look over your motherboard while it is switched on. The culprit will shine like a christmas ball light. Then it's a matter of buying a replacement and replacing it.
If you don't have this type of camera, go to a repair center ( does not need to be official and tell them to check with their camera for the cooker).
