Hello
Now i am going to return my HTC HD7 phone and change it for a new one.
Why?
The camera wont turn on neither on the camera button neither in the menu.
Here is the film, what it actually does.
I understand that i am not allone with this camera issue.
So far there is no solution for this problem so in this case there is only return and get a new one option.

Camera Issue Solution
I had the same problem with my HTC HD7 and have found a possible solution. I simply took the battery out and my SIM card, let it sit for about 1 minute. Put the SIM card back in and the battery then turned the phone back on. It fixed my camera issue.
I am not saying this will fix the issue permanently but it worked for me, I havent had any issues with the camera thus far.
Yet another reason to stop buying HTCs phones IMO.
HTC = High Tech Crap!
Wow, two imbeciles come in here and spread BS instead of answering and helping OP.
OP, I've never had that problem nor have I heard of it, so it's most definitely specific to your device so using the manufacturers warranty and getting a replacement is definitely the best solution, although nando's workaround might work...or a hard reset if it's a glitch.

AFAIK Its a windows phone issue, It has nothing to do with htc, HD7 or whatever.
It happens to zune, and marketplace too, and It only takes a simple reboot to solve it.
Still, if you believe its an hd7 issue, you shouldnt be asking it here. This is a windows-phone 7 forum, and device-related problems should be asked in their respective forums.
I have fixed this problem by myself, its an hardware problem. Nobody helped about the solution even HTC engineers. I can send the solution photos. [email protected] (Antalya/TURKEY)
The same problem
Nobody can help me with It? I have the ecxatly same problem...
As stated already, You might get better help with HD7 issues if you post in the HD7 specific forum, and it might help to keep the device trolls at bay...
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I tried two ways of succesfully fixing this:
-3 times hard resetting
-3times soft resetting
Both did the trick for me, but for obvious reasons I now always soft reset 3 times whenever this occurs.
(Hasn't happened since NoDo tho..)
(sorry for my bad english)..
I do have a same problem. I am from indonesia, already told the shop which i bought this phone. They cant give me any replacement, only said, under repair or somekind of service.
Actually i rarely use handphone camera, but under this situation, felt weird. Any one has solution? please share..
It's a hardware issue with certain batch of the HTC HD7. I suggest you take your phone in for a replacement.
But they wont replace for a new one, i just bought it 3 weeks ago. The said they will repair it or under service. What a shame..
My buddy's HD7 had the same problem but seemed to go away with NODO. Is your phone all updated?

Hi there
I had the same issue with my HD7. O2 serviced it for me and it worked for another few months. Today the camera wont load again. I would say it is a software issue rather that hardware issue as I remember when it happened before soft reset and then hard reset could fix the issue till it completely stopped.
I need to take it again to the service.
it's remind me my desire phone ( android ) i had the same problem after clockword and cooked rom install. i just updated the phone radio and all was ok.
I know it's not the same plateform but i hope it can help maby try to update software.

HTC HD7 Camera Dead
Hi all,
I have the same problem - just went to use the camera on day and no response. Pressing the camera button or intiating from within the software just results in the menu scrolling away (as though the camera is starting) and then scrolling back.
I've tried pulling the battery and sim - no luck.
Unfortunately my location means I can't send it back for repair with it costing $$$s and taking over a month.
Only had the phone a couple of months - not very happy.
There seems to be a lot of people writing about this exact issue on the HTC forums so I can only assume it is indeed a hardware fault in a batch of the HD7s rather than a software issue.

I've heard that's there a problem with some sim, but it seems that it won't happen randomly then. In this case (some new sim from swisscom), the Touch2 won't turns on.

I had the problem and I logged a problem ticket with HTC Service center at Malaysia..
Subject: HTC Touch2 Self-Power Off intermittently and unable to power on again via the Power button.
Desc: My Touch2 was purchased on 16-Nov 2009. It experiencing intermittent self-power off problem when phone was left ideal for couple of second! Secondly, the phone was intermittent "freeze" when charging with power adapter. For both cases, the phone cannot be turn on via the Power button. Must perform manual Reset to power on the phone each time. I performed FACTORY Reset 5 times already; disabled the Touch2Flo; disabled ALL auto power off.. yet it did not resolve the problem. [ROM Version: 1.28.707.3 (66092); Radio Version: 3.49.25.05; Protocol version: 61.42t.25.31H]
The service center called and they offered to change the motherboard. I had it changed unfortunately the problem still persist. And worst still the touch screen didn't not respone after a while. I sent to fix and waited for another 2weeks, and changed the 2nd motherboard. I'm been using the repaired phone for past 2monts WITHOUT any intermittent power off issue.. YIPPI!
P/s: My batt Serial No: 1GKA299KQQ4912. Part No: 35H0015-11M. The HTC repair report did not mentioned whether they change my batt nor I cannot confirmed whether it was the "-07M". Anyway, I'm glad that my nightmare is over for now
gooddd
Hey good that you fixed it somehow. At the time i was having that turnoff problem thing, i really felt like ****, but after reading your message, i feel better off
I start to hate HTC. %80 o HTC having same problem around

u must have installed srs hd wow... remove that and insted use hd tweak to increase volume...srs hd makes the error///
OK, now I have a problem.
If I turn my xoom off and then on again the touchscreen will not respond to any input, only hardware buttons work.
If I hold volume up and power button to restart, it restarts and everything works OK. I can but it to sleep and wake it up and still everything works. Everything works until I turn it off and on again, then the problem returns and I need to hold volume up and power button to restart it again to get the touch screen working.
I searched the net but didn't find anything similar.
Any ideas?
is it still stock or you rooted / update kernel ?

Its complitly stock wifi only Xoom, bought from US about two weeks old.
I tried Factory reset, it didn't change anything.
Strange thing is that volume up and power reset fixes it every time. And it works fine until i turn it off again. What does this volume up and power button command do exactly, soft reset? If soft reset fixes it, it can't be a hardware problem or can it?
If I were you I would return it cuz to me that sounds like a defect with your xoom. But if u messed with it (rooting/unlocking) they won't even touch it.

Like i already said, i haven't messed with it, it's completely stock.
About returning it... The problem is that i'm in Europe and i bought my Xoom from US, so i'm not really excited about sending it back.
Is it somehow possible to install the current android 3.0.1 rom again? Without unlocking and rooting?
I do not know if it works on the xoom but other tablets have a calibration ini file that you can place on the root of your SD card and reboot letting it recalibrate the touch screen? Let me know and I can send that to you?

Thanks for trying to help! I'm not sure i want to mess with this yet. I talked to Motorola about my problem and the seemed very interested in my problem, so i will wait and see what they suggest.

Really? I haven't seen anything like my problem in forums, and everyone told me that my problem is "strange" :S
However, just in case, have you thought about how to return the Xoom from Europe to US? Or are you directly talking with Motorola to file a RMA practice? After all, we should have one year of international warranty by Motorola, isn't it?

In fact someone from Motorola US contacted me and offered help, so I can't really say anything bad about Motorola, they are really friendly and helpful. They offered to replace my Xoom, but later discovered that i'm not in US and suggested that I should be able to get a replacement from europe.
Before I was contacted by Motorola US, I sent a email to Motorola UK and they also apologized for the problems I had and offered to replace my Xoom, only problem is that they don't have any in stock at the moment, so I have to wait about two weeks.
As my Xoom works great after I force reboot it, it's not a problem for me to wait, I can use my Xoom until I get a replacement.
I would like to thank Motorola for the great support that they have offered me and I will update this thread when my issue is resolved.
But back to your problem, I suggest that you contact your nearest Motorola office, i'm sure they will try to help you.

I'm trying to do it right now
A little update.
I have been using my faulty Xoom for over two weeks now. I didn't turn it off so it worked until today. Today i tried to install a app from Market and My apps crashed, so i tried to stop it and this caused Launcer to FC (Does Launcer FC cause a automatic reboot?). The screen went black and in about 20 seconds it did show me the lock screen and i had no touch screen control. So i force rebooted it and now it doesn't even start up anymore, it's stuck on boot animation.
So it's starting to get really frustrating... I'm even considering to buy another Xoom, but this really isn't a solution, i have no use for two (if i ever get a replacement).
Has anyone any ideas? Why is it now stuck on boot animation, doesn't this look like a software problem? Is there any way to push clean images to it without unlocking? I understand that unlocking will void my warranty?
Is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking?
Ok, i got it to boot up again. I did Wipe data/factory reset and now it boots up again, but still no touch control.
And it seems that i have confirmed that doing too many force reboots will mess up the system.
BTW, there is a way to get into Android recovery on WIFI only Xoom, i wish i had known this before, "adb reboot recovery" works.
Can someone please answer my question, is it possible to flash the official stock images without unlocking? Maybe that will fix my touch screen control problem...
I've having this same issue but mine is worse.. the touchscreen is not working AT ALL.. only the power button works..
I can restart the xoom with the volume up power button but after it restarts still no response from the touchscreen!
What can I do to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated..
i need to know if this a hardware issue or software. every 2 days or so my camera wont start . i close everything running and it just freezes up on me. i have nothing crazy installed jsut root, tibu, chase, android game, flashlight. thats it ! i will click the camera icon ill see the screen shake for a second and just go back to home screenl. also sometimes i click the multi task button and clear everything out when i press home it has to load all my widgets again.. this phone is werid...
i bought it online at radioshak for 50 bucks do you guys think i can get a new one in store or do they deal with online only
I had this happen to me twice in a week of use. I'm wondering if another app is not releasing the camera from it's use. I haven't been killing the camera app after use, so maybe it has an issue being open for long.
Other apps that use the camera I may have had open are Instagram, Facebook, Gallery.

i had this issue since i bought the phone. never figured it out. a couple of days ago, the camera just stopped working altogether. it won't start most of the time. when it does start, the image is dark and very distorted. i tried to upgrade from 1.73 to 1.85 and didnt solve the issue. i did a factory reset and it didn't solve the issue. so earlier today, i ended up just exchanging it with a new phone.
Happening to me as we speak!
Made a quick, nasally sounding video.

- Instagram is still able to use the camera.
- If I close them all in multitasking, it doesn't fix it.
- Force stopping Instagram and/or the Camera app doesn't solve it, I have to reboot the phone.
EDIT:
Fast boot is off on my device.

Try a factory reset. If this doesn't solve the issue, I'd take it back. I've never had any such issues on 1.73, 1.82 or 1.85. I'm inclined to think its either a software issue (like an installed app interfering, as one reply suggested) that a factory reset may clear up, or its a hardware issue.

well, i won't say that your problem was the same as mine but i think mine was definitely a hardware problem. i experienced the problem on 1.73 and 1.85, rooted and unrooted, locked and unlocked, and even after a factory reset. luckily the camera just complete crapped out before my 30-day was up so it was easy to justify the exchange at the at&t store.

Video exactly depicts what happens to me. I will try to open the camera app and it just flashes and kicks me out. I've tried all sorts of things to alleviate the problem but the only solution I've found is restarting the phone. Pretty annoying....
The display HOX at the AT&T store had the same issue. I'm assuming this is software related but who knows
this happened the first week I had the phone. When I updated it to 1.82 the issue went away so I'm assuming it was software

Well if it was a software issue, factory reset is worth a try. However if its something that needs to be fixed in a future update (a bug) then going back to factory shouldn't help. And thats why the OP had another thread about how to update.
Crizthakidd, have you tried other camera apps from google play? I know you said you were going to. How did that go, if you did? Obviously if there's a software issue, even if factory reset doesn't fix it, xda can. That is, root, unlock, install a newer custom rom.
I had this problem on 1.72, and other apps were still ok using the camera. I made a quick video of it happening.

Hi all,
I just bought an A9 while I was traveling middle east from a shop which offered no warranty on the product but claimed that the phone has international warranty.
Since day one phone just keeps restarting randomly. sometimes while installing an app, sometimes while opening and app and so on. it does not have a defined pattern. I have done all the updates and tried Factory reset too. the problem still exists. I contacted US htc online support and they told me your phone has been manufactured for Taiwan and you should resolve the issue with them. I think I might not be able to use any warranty for it. I live in Finland. HTC finland has not replied to my email yet.
I am wondering is it a software or hardware issue?
phone does not get hot and there is not any other unusual thing before it restarts.
any one has any idea both about the phone possible problem/ solution and also warranty?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Since no one else is facing this issue with any software version, has to be a faulty hardware. It may be a rogue app, but you say you've already tried factory reset, so.
Your best option is to wait for a reply from htc.

i have exactly the same issue.
mine even rebooted while turning it on for the first time and going through the initial setup.
so its not an app or anything added after setting the phone up.
after contacting my provider they said they will swap the phone out as it faulty.

In last 1 month usage, it did this weird restart thing to me also.. In between a day, maybe an app issue it was restarting and I would never know it restarted until I see the pin to unlock the phone. I uninstalled few unwanted apps and the problem didn't repeat again. And that was the only instance where it happened and it restarted more than 4-5 in that day. Well its been 2 weeks after that and no such weird issues.. happy A9 customer
Hi, for some reason my wife's U11 just decided to stop working - but only the sim and wifi. The no sim message shows and wifi won't turn on. I've reset network settings and have gone as far as a complete factory reset to no avail. It seems to me to be a hardware issue, so I'd like to know if there is anything else I might be able to try? I'm out of ideas, and if it truly is a hardware fault, then that kinda sucks, but oh well. It was a nice phone while it lasted...
I should add that bluetooth still works.

This is starting to get interesting. If you have any updates, please let us know.
I've managed to downgrade it now to Android 8.0. Same issue.
I don't want to believe that this is a hardware fault. But it really seems to be...
Maybe its the antenna? I don't know. MAybe I'm going to root it and flash a custom rom and Wifi repair app.
But It really think there's an hardware defect for now..

That's super interesting to me. Do you know when it happened to you? It really feels quite coincidental to have this happen to a few people.
It happened just 2-3 month ago. First I wasn't able to turn the phone on cause of the WLAN issue. Cause my phone space was locked I wasn't able to authorize myself cause of the disabled connection. After a few tries I put my Sim card inside the phone, and it connected and I could authorize and disable this memory lock. But afterwards it never worked again with my sim card. It seems like it wouldn't even recognize my Sim Card. No Pin question or symbol at the upper front of the display. Nothing. It's really werid and annoying, that something like this happens. I can't believe that it's hardware related.. How would it be possilbe that it's hardawrare related and whe have suddenly the same problems nearly the same time...
I should note that my wife has had her screen replaced before (she dropped the phone and it basically cracked all over). Have you replaced yours?
Yes I replaced mine too. But nevermind I had that issues before. My phone ran all well with cracked screen and one day I had that issues... So I changed my screen in the hope it would fix it.

I'm wondering if it will be a more widespread problem. I'm going to try and get in touch with HTC and see what they have to say. Will update if I hear back from them.
Okay, that would be great. But I don't have high expectations that they'll answer. Due to the fact that they have stopped there smartphone section for now and no more official updates and stuff like that.
But let's hope die at least...
I have exactly the same issue. It happened yesterday. It was just there, sitting on my desk, one minute it was working and I was checking my e-mail, the next one it was not. The phone now detects no SIM card and if I try to enable wi-fi it just hangs in "enabling" status for some time until it gives up and disables it again. I am not 100% sure, but I think I also had a short time in which wifi was no longer working and the SIM connection still was, I remember seeing the 4G logo and maybe I even browsed the internet for a short while. By the way, I have not replaced my screen. Now I know that I can probably spare myself the hassle of doing a hard reset.
It is really suspicious that this weird problem is happening to several people within a short time frame. It would be cool to hear if HTC has anything to say, but I am also not expecting anything from them now, especially for a phone which is out of warranty.
In case it can help, as the author reported, bluetooth still works and it is possible to connect the phone to the internet using bluetooth tethering on another phone (the good old M8 helped here ). This doesn't solve the issue, but is much better than nothing, most apps will work and it is easier to make a controlled migration to another phone.
Any news here?
Same issue here!!! Help!!!

I have the same issue with a U11+ bought in Germany (I know, other model but hey). I have tried using the other sim slot and using another (definitely working) sim. WiFi doesn't work either. My phone has no visible damage (not even scratches) and no parts were replaced. I can't remember it ever getting wet either. For me it stopped working on 2. of September.
Sorry guys. HTC were really slack at getting back to me, and unfortunately they want me to send the phone in to get it inspected. I know it's out of warranty and since my wife is well and truly into her Huawei P30, this phone is unfortunately going to just have to remain this way. Sorry for not having any better info.
The same issue I am facing now. No SIM CARD Detected and WiFi isn't connecting.
What things I have tried doing so far?
1.) Factory Reset - 3 times.
2.) TWRP Based RUU Restores ( 2 possible versions tried )
3.) Tried Restoring zip based restore
4.) Did a Full Internal + External SD Card Wipe and then flashed RUU.
5.) Restored stock ROM.
Nothing is working at all.
Now, Trying to do S-OFF but as the phone itself is not booting into a normal OS, I cannot install Sunshine app and proceed. Help needed, at least in getting the OS to work.
Thank You.

It seems there's no way without replacing hardware to fix it. But if we don't know what causes this error we cannot proceed.
I tried the same things as you did. Also unlocked bootloader. My device is starting but I cannot proceed to the main menue cause of no internet connection. I'd love to try a custom rom. That's the only thing missing.
Also if the phone is rooted there are WIFI Error fixing apps and check.
I have bought myself a OnePlus 7T pro MClaren edition and I'm really happy with it. But also I don't want to accept that the htc just died from nothing.
Same issue here, happend a few months ago and after a week the phone started working. Now again no SIM detected and wifi won't connect.
