Hi, i've bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC Sensation and was running Android Revolution HD for Sensation gingerbread. my Camera app has suddenly stopped working... I've tried updating to latest ICS from Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 but still the camera is not working. when i start the app... the screen flashes and then again I'm back on the home screen. Strangely, when using application "mirror" it starts the front camera... and that is working fine... and i've tried multiple apps from market for back camera...but its not working using any of them... can you please help me out with this... any help in this would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

this is weird did you tried other camera apps?
if its still not working then
do a superwipe and flash rom again and see(this method erases data ..so backp them before hand)
Similar problem, if i click the camera or camcorder icon the screen goes black, it either stays black until i take the battery out or it crashes and restarts?! Weird, cant use it to take pics in any other apps either. front camera is fine on skype though...!? everything is uptodate nothing was updated recently?! Anyone
(Im on stock)
This happened to me once when i was stock. I would do a battery pull and it would work again..but finally did a hard restore through recovery and cleared all the caches and that worked. Now im rooted and on energy GB rom and I have not had that problem anymore.
Just flashing a new rom did not help. I actually had to do a factory reset on the ROM as well..in the Setting/storage.
Never ran into this problem

Have u tried maybe a different rom??
sent from thy phone
I would suggest clearing the app data.
Have you news. I have the same problem and have yet to find any solution. If you have one I'd be grateful for it.

Go to Task Manager>>Advanced>>All apps>>Find the Camera app and select it>>Force Close if it is running & then Clear Data.
This should fix it.
If not, get this app. Go to primary and secondary camera, & check if they both work.
If it works, then there's a problem with the stock app.
If not, there is either a problem with the camera or with camera access.
I would suggest reflashing your current ROM, since this seems to solve issues, many a time.
Try installing another pyramid
have you tried to download a special or customized pyramid from the sensation android development department and then tried out your 4g??? a customized pyramid + tweaks will allow the htc camera to work because the htc family usually creates htc's like as if they were real babies.. the htc's adapt to you and then little by little all the problems like "over-heating reset, camera faults and random keyboard touches" are common problems with the htc... installing a different pyramid or returning it for another new one will usually fix this..

Thanks for this mate...As I said I have re-flashed the rom several times but get the same issue!
the main Camera has a red cross through it on that app..I guess it is broken?
Any help would be much appreciated!

As far as I can tell, your camera is not being detected.
I would recommend that you do this:
1>NANDROID backup
2>SuperWipe (it can be found in this post at the very end)
3>Re-install ROM (Remember to check MD5 before installing)
4>Check if the Camera works.
If not, then Super Wipe and restore your previous backup.
If it works, get back to me. (PM me if I don't reply)
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Hey guys I came across a very weird problem I can't seem to get my camera to work at all. I flash a jb ROM from awesome did full wipe and everything and it ran smooth but I wanted camera so I reverted to 0.0 jb rom and the camera is supposed to work but it didn't. I disabled and cleared cache both app and dalvik but still nothing. Then I wiped and flashed awesome darkunicorn 2.5 but still got no camera just a blank screen. I needed my camera so I reverted back to stock gb ROM but now camera nor video doesn't work at all. And also now skype doesn't let me sign in it stuck on loading screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated what so ever please I need some help! Thank you!

Just to be sure, when you say a "full wipe" you are including the system partition?
If all else fails, flash froyo PD15IMG.zip. If you used gfree to root, you won't lose S-Off. If you used root.sh it's still no big deal, because you can easily re-root. If it doesn't work on pure stock froyo, you likely have a hardware issue.
Yea, its almost religion for me to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and format all partitions except sd card at least twice before I flash a Rom. I know ones have a preference but I'd try using 4ext. You have all wipe options in one place instead of having to jump around to other menus.

I do mean system partition and even copying sd and formatting it and then recopying files back. I just did the PD15 2.2.1 and still its blank.. I did however try flashlight which works perfectly fine but camera just goes blank and video also. tried using pudding camera app but still. so my camera is no more? maybe a file missing somehow? what are the necessary camera related files thats needed? Also why isn't skype working for me its just allows me to enter my info and then loads forever ( i know its side topic but i use skype since i dont have alot of minutes DAILY 24/7)

Sounds like you're screwed. If your camera won't work on anything, including pure stock, it's not a file.
Hopefully Jack_R1 will see this and help you out. He'll know.
Does skype do some kind of camera check that it's getting hung up on, maybe?
Awww man just when I'm on budget mode might need a new phone ugh. Thanks alot for the suggestions though I thought those would have worked for sure. I don't wanna give this phone up had it for barely a year now I guess it's time to find the next best cheap phone
Um idk if Skype is doing a camera check but doesn't this phone not support FCC on Skype by default until u allow it? Either way I'm def screwed
Edit: your right it was doing a cam check but I flashed darkunicorn 2.5 and it gave me the option to choose whether or not enable or not so I enabled first and it did hang but I cleared data forced close and didn't enable it and boom Skype works! Now I can live without a cam for another week lol thanks alot

Yeah I am too but thanks for your help I haven't completely given up yet though I saw something in the an ICS build by synthetic.nightmare which blackwing commented on a black camera screen. He stated that it needed the camera preview fix so I'll try to get into that and see maybe that may be idk I'm tugging at any/every lead I can get. Thanks once again for the help thus far man

did you format system?
try safe kernel (stockish ram/sgx/dsp timings)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0kci9mvja4b9ssn/jb_safe_kernel.zip
or safer kernel (doesn't reprogram core clock at boot, exact stock timings)

or safest (same as safer with cpu max at 800mhz instead of 1000)

still no go?
try ics build here:

with 160mhz kernel
then wipe everything and try this build again, or enjoy ics :]

since this is CM10 based would regular cm10 gapps work? Thanks
Edit: It doesn't seem to boot. It gets stuck on the android screen.
about 3m freee in system, so regular jb gapps wont work unless modified to use /data. ics gapps work.
if you have bootloop:
adb shelll and
rm /system/lib/hw/gps.sholes.so
or just delete it from the zip before flashing

Installd ics gapps.
So, got rid of bootloop using adb to remove gps. Boots up fine after that.
CPU overclock settings can not be changed in settings. Works fine in setcpu.
No camera app included.
EDIT: Phone was plugged into usb port on computer entire time, and I noticed that the battery was not charging. Flashed back to my daily driver for now and phone is charging again. Not sure if this is common to anyone else or just a bug for me.
this is filthy! so fast. i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30325746&postcount=1977 nightwing's .zip to get market over adb. wireless also works. mp3's through music load up like it's going to play, but then flashes a screen where song progress is complete and goes back to the artist list, but media server found all my songs. m4a's say file not supported. bluetooth paired with my keyboard and worked. voice dialer worked to open apps and i got a few beeps out of it at the end of commands so some sound is working. mine's not activated though so i can't test radios. donations on the way. thanks for all the hard work.

mediafire virus
After using link at top of page to download from media fire using Windows explorer I got a message saying virus detected on my computer and the page looks exactly like Microsoft security essentials I clicked no and computer crashed!!! This makes 2 times I have gotten virus from media fire last time I was able to restore to an earlier backup this time computer wouldn't let me boot into recovery or anything after much trouble I got it to boot into safe mode only because I have recovery disks that came with PC but have not been able to repair it complelty yet because if I try to restore it ends with an error about system contains some file ( idont remember name) so if I can't figure it out I guess I will backup important files and do a complete restore from factory disks ( last resort ) . Just a warning . If anybody has any answers and or ways to prevent this please PM me. Hopefully this won't happen to anyone else
Sorry for highjacking thread I know this is off subject but don't want anyone else to become a victim!!
Link worked fine when downloaded from phone but I have no way to modify zip or use adb to make JB boot
Sorry to kfazz for this post I know its not his fault I found many people with same problem with a Google search
Keep up the great work kfazz you are the best!!

Similar problems, but mine's randomly deciding to boot up or not. Sometimes it doesn't boot at all, other times it boots on the first try.
However since the Camera, Wifi, and other Jelly Bean goodness works, I can't help but to thank you on this release, Good luck on further development!
EDIT: And now it won't even boot, sometimes it just gets stuck at a blank screen. Bummer.

this is how, if you have a stock rom of Froyo or Gingerbread:
You can dial at dial pad *#34971539# and then click in "Phone to CAM FW Write"
As i Read in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710010&page=2
if you have a Custom Rom of JB, ICS or another louncher you can write the camera Firmware following this post:

not so fast, the camera only worked like 10 minuts after i did this, got the warning again.. please could you help me! ((
Okay, here's what I'd recommend:
Take out your external SD card.
Put your phone into download mode and flash jscott30's return to stock (root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Once done, test out your camera.
If it's working okay, shut down the phone and put the SDcard back in.
Test again.
If possible, stick with the rom for a day. Also, make sure you flash a kernel with CWM!
If all is good after a day and you want to move up to 4.2, remove the external SD card before flashing anything. You can put it back in once you're done flashing.
thanks, i sold it

Moto G 16GB, bought off Amazon.co.uk. Rooted and flashed 4.4.2 before it was pushed to the device (I think it was an image off US version, found it in these forums back when I got the phone). I've been getting a prompt to install some Motorola US update for a few weeks, it pops up every now and then, has gone away when I tapped "No, thanks" option. All was fine until this morning...this is a really weird problem.
I don't know if the phone updated itself overnight, but when I dismissed the alarm this morning I couldn't get past the lockscreen. I put in my lock code and the phone had the stock wallpaper, then cycled to black background, then back to stock wallpaper and then I got a pop up saying "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." and I was bumped back to the PIN lockscreen. Tried again, same thing. Now it doesn't even say anything about androidui, just cycles between black background and stock wallpaper and kicks me out.
Tried hooking it up to a PC and Mac, but neither recognized it and the phone appeared to be just charging. Power cycled it a dozen times by holding down the power button for about 6 seconds and I always end up with the same problem of not getting past the lockscreen. Every time I boot the phone now it says "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app 1 of 1". This is why I thought maybe I was pushed some incompatible US update?
Underneath it all the phone works fine, got the alarm this morning, received an SMS, answered a phone call. I can even get to the camera from the lockscreen. Is there any other options besides complete wipe and starting from the beginning again?
Probably OT, but I've always had trouble with the launcher quitting, no matter what launcher I'm using, on Moto G and the previous GNex.
Any help is appreciated, I'm bummed.
Hi,
i've today the same, exactly the same problem. It's strange, because i can't reset my phone to factory default, i went to the recovery menu, then "factory", but it only rebooted...
My "solution":
I reinstalled the original firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Then all works fine.. No matter why this error occurs.. an automatic firmware update? ..i don't know...
the exact same thing happened to me today out of nowhere and i'm about to leave on a trip, i'm so angry!
Jeez...well, looks like I'm not the only one. WTF happened? I left on a weekend trip too and I'm P.O.'d. I haven't been too religious with my backups either, that's why I was trying to find a way to back things up before wiping it all, but it looks like I'm out of luck. Guess a full wipe is in order.
hmmm i'm a complete dufus when it requires ADB, i've followed the procedures at the link but everytime i try to enter an input cmd says "mfastboot is not a recognized command"

Take a look:
c) If the firmware file you downloaded is a .xml.zip file then download Motorola Fastboot mfastboot-v2.zip (attached to this post) and extract the .exe into the same folder as the stock firmware files (the same folder as the .bin and .img files). If your firmware is a .tar.gz file then skip this step.
I'm debating if I should go ahead and restore the firmware OR wait for Motorola to right their wrongs!

I... did that, but obviously not the correct way, i'm downloading the files on my note and will try again. Maybe I should unpack the firmware files at some specific place? The instructions said nothing about this so I did nothing.

I... did that, but obviously not the correct way, i'm downloading the files on my note and will try again. Maybe I should unpack the firmware files at some specific place? The instructions said nothing about this so I did nothing.

Guess this is the only way out of this, then. What a mystery... I wonder if this is the "Welcome to Lenovo" update 1.0 lol.
i'm getting a "missing AdbWinApi.dll" although i've installed all the applications required, any help?
edit: guess i also need the android sdk, right?
edit2: got it, just copy the dlls from the minimal adb directory into the firmware directory and it's good to go, just configuring my newly restored device, thanks all
I wonder why this happened? I was using google play store at the moment, updating the flipboard app...

I guess It's the problem of flipboard app!
My father's phone is also experiencing this issue, I can't even reset the phone to factory settings.
This occurred when I was also updating the flipboard app... seriously I'll have to RMA this...

So I also have an issue where when you unlock the screen, it just locks back up (no android dialogue saying that com.android.systemui has crashed, but the same result).
I'm also unable to go into bootloader -> Recovery to factory reset the phone.
I stupidly tried to uninstall the flipboard app and reinstall it and it killed the phone... it's now stuck and quite annoying.
I'm 99% sure it's Flipboard.
Looks like others are having issues with Flipboard too

I solved the issue by following the instructions here:

how could a flipboard update screw android so badly? what a strange day
edit: they seemed to have pulled the update back or fixed it though, during my restore flipboard installed without issues
Holy S*** I'm in the same situation. It's definitely the Flipboard update that caused everything. Support just acknowledged me but never gave me any solution. I'm running ART and I think that was contributing the problem. It's terrifying knowing how a single app can completely ruin your phone!!
Anyway guys, is there anyway I can save my pics and stuff before I wipe my data?
Good detective work, I now remember updating the Flipboard app w/ bunch of others as well when things were still all good. Could this be remedied if Flipboard would manage to push a working update? I really don't wanna wipe everything, and I'm not sure I can.
Word from Flipboard (via Twitter):
"Flipboard does not support the experimental OS ART at this time."
