Hi,
I have this M8 as a "testing phone" and I have changed roms time to time testing new android versions etc. In past months I have tested few roms, mainly android 11 and 10 versions. Found some things on them that didn't liked so I installed GPE MM back yesterday and them suddenly realized that camera won't work. I mean it won't start at all, it just says as in that picture. When I factory reset/wiped and installed new, not Sense, rom that whole cam app isn't even visible on app list in drawer or in desktop. But it can be found via settings/apps. And while I try to open it for example via gallery it says something like "can't connect to camera".
Then I wiped again and installed back that original MM rom and that camera icon exists again but it won't start but says still like in picture.
So do I have a situation that some camera chip etc or mainboard has suddenly failed without any reason or could this be software problem anymore since that cam won't do anything or even start with any rom?
I haven't dropped the phone or opened for a long time, I haven't even taken much pics with that m8 so it's quite weird thing. I have done factory reset while changing the rom and sometimes wiped cache, dalvik/art cache and data partitions. Twrp version is 3.3.1-3 it matters.

Try installing the camera application itself, this is how I got the camera to work

I'm new to this whole custom ROM thing so please bear with me. Okay, so I'll take it from the top. I first updated to ics. Then I updated the baseband to 72 using the Xperia Flasher by Androxyde. Then I installed the kernel. I got this one. I don't know if I did these right but I think I did... Anyway, so after that I downloaded Arconium ICS 4.0 and put the zip file in the SD card and then used the CWM (I think) to install it. Before doing that I cleared the cache, the battery stats, the dalvik cache and reset to factory settings. Then I used the zip file and did a custom default install (the first option). I did it and the phone rebooted. Now this is where the problem started... The touch screen has been acting wonky. I mean there is a little circle thing that you have to move around to make it work. I mean, I have to move the circle thing to say Settings and then click. I can't click the Settings icon directly. Is this a feature of Arconium or is this a problem? Also, whenever I open the camera, the screen gets inverted (180 deg). So I am completely out of ideas. What should I do? Are these problems kernel related or ROM related?

Much appreciated.
EDIT: You can see the little circle thing in the second attachment. Oh and I have an Arc S. And the bootloader has been unlocked (I hope)
What kernel are you using ?
And try reflashing Arconium 4.0.
Hi,
I was trying older and latest FXP 136, flashed kernel from zip, then put zip on SD card, then use Recovery to flash it, but on recovery ive got always same problem - the screen looks fine, then i press vol - to move line down and screen is getting splitted and moved on the screen, when i press vol- again its back ok, then again vol- splitting screen again, and it repeats...
Ive made a photo with screen splitted. Maybe can you tell me whats the reason? CM9 works pretty fine, but from first release of CM10 till now, i've got this problem on my MK16i...
Even when installed CM10 on this bugged recovery, Camera is not working

After it says "installing", what happens?
It is installed now without errors, after 2-3 wipes and installs and 3 or 4 times flashing kernel, because on first setup, i had messages about crash of setup or something like that, but after all it seems to be working, but recovery menu is still buggy as i've described above
Camera is not showing preview, but its taking pictures.
And there is again GPS problem - Google Maps can find the signal, but any other app, like Automapa cant get it and always stays at "looking for sattelites".
Also CM10 restarting from time to time, even when phone is locked, so i think ill be back to CM9...
Recently my phone has started to forget account defaults, specifically in youtube. I will watch a video in to morning with no problem, then try again at night and it acts like I have never opened it before, asking me to select between the two Gmail accounts I have. It has come up occasionally on other apps like Google currents, and it has persisted between roms. It started on skynote 8 a while ago after maybe a month of usage, I thought nothing of it after switching to clean rom 4.5 (just trying out different roms). It started to happen again after about a month again. Between these two rom switches I wiped everything possible because I was attempting to clear up other weird problems. I wiped the usual (cache, system, data) as well as formatting my microsd card in the Android system.
I have not been able to find a correlation to an app install or any setting change, if anyone else can shed some light on this I would be grateful, if not I will flash back to stock and see if it happens again, then I will take the issue to ATT.
Thanks!
One other thing I forgot that also broke was the accelerometer. It just failed to give any values. After switching roms it came back. I dont see how this would happen, again no correlation to an app or mod, in fact I hadnt flashed anything other than skynote.
Just going to guess. Do you have this app that Google forced on us?

It just shows up after downloading something from the playstore.
I have no idea why.

I get this message, with the same version number, every time I open HTC sync manager (all 4 times, I just installed it for the first time a couple of hours ago)
The first time, I ran the update and it definitely flashed something to my phone. (was in recovery mode flashing for a few minutes).
After it booted back up, the phone behaved sluggish as typical with a software update, but when I went to settings, there were no version changes of Android or of the firmware version. So far I can't find anything different, but there was a lengthy download and flashing process.
Also, I checked for updates via the phone settings yesterday and also today as soon as I saw the upgrade notification, and it reported no updates available.
(unfortunately, I didn't think to check appdata\local\temp until it was done, and there was nothing in there that would have been the size to match the lengthy download time at 5MB/s)
Anyone else seen this or have any thoughts?
My initial thinking is that the HTC Sync manager software is a p.o.s., but it's the only way I've been able to transfer files to/from the phone on either Windows 10 or Linux Mint 17. (Thanks HTC )
I have this same update. I tried once and got stuck on a HTC flash screen. Havent tried since as im trying to root the device. not download anymore of verizons security scams.
My back camera/light has recently stopped working. This phone is less than a year old so this issue is frustrating. At first, I was able to reboot the device and the camera/light would work for about 30 minutes or so. A month later, it only detects the front camera. Now I can't select or add the camera in the Camera app. My flashlight app just freezes if I try to open it. I have some screen shots below. I used an app called System Droid Info to get my hardware information and it seems to display only the front camera specs as if it's the only one connected (maybe I should try another app?). Not sure if this is related, but it also started occurring around the time I installed the latest OTA update.

Things I have done:
-Cleared Camera data/cache and rebooted
-Disabled/enabled Camera app and rebooted
-Force close/reopen Camera app and rebooted
-Powered device off/on
-Factory reset through bootloader
Does this sound like a hardware failure? Are there any other steps I should take? Any help would be great, thanks!

hey @poupdujour, this happened to my M9 whilst i was trying to capture lightening in a thunderstorm (not relevant, but i thought i'd give you a back story) I was able to get the camera "working" through 3rd party apps like whatsapp and instagram but the image was flipped upside down. did everything you went through and even went back to stock, nothing helped.
Think it must be a hardware issue, I sent mine back to EE and got a 24hr replacement.
