Hi,
Today I tried to take a picture and the camera application froze.
I tried force-closing it and trying again but it froze again. I rebooted the phone and tried again and it froze again.
I tried switching from the Eagleblood ROM I was using to Sense-o-Maniac v1.49 Beta and dumping all of my application data and cache. Now instead of just freezing when I try and use the camera is restarts the phone.
I loaded up an AOSP backup I had saved and tried the AOSP camera application, this also crashed.
I've now reinstalled Sense-O-Maniac v1.49 Beta and the camera still doesn't work.
If I use the mirror application and the flashlight work, but I can't use camera/camcorder or any barcode scanners.
Is my camera just broken? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
ANkh
Okay, I'll take the lack of a response to be an agreement that my phone is broken in a way that software cannot resolve and it needs to be sent back to HTC.
How can I tell which RUU version I should install? I've attached my software version information to this post.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I installed gallery 3d on my DX from Liberty 1.0, and it worked great. Then it randomly started duplicating a few pictures, and finally just started showing one of the same picture. Then it went to not reading any pictures at all (both stock and gallery 3d apps). I uninstalled gallery 3d and the problem persisted. I wiped my phone, and the issue ensued. Then the GB leak came out, so I figured I'd give it a try (loving it btw!), and I now my gallery says that it cannot locate any pictures on my sd card at all. It also will not open up any of my music files, and is giving me the same error. Somebody please help me!
Thanks

Did you update to 2.3.340 before you flashed the GB leak? Usually flashing a Rom that requires 2.3.340 while still using the 2.3.15 kernel breaks media.
To check which you're on, boot into bootloader mode (press power, home, and both volumes on boot).
If you're bootloader version is 30.03 you're still using the 2.3.15 kernel.
If your bootloader version is 30.03 you need to SBF back to 2.3.15 and receive the OTA update, then reflash.

I opened my bootloader and saw nothing indicating that I was running bootloader 30.03. The only thing I saw resembling what may be a bootloader version was at the top where it says "Android system recovery <3e>." When I look under settings it says the kernel version is "2.6.32.9-g5a891f6" Not sure if that helps or not...

Sorry I seemed to give you the wrong instructions =P You must press (Camera, Volume Down, and Power) after turning your phone off to. This will boot into bootloader mode.

Ah, well my bootloader is at 30.04 which I am assuming means that I am running an updated kernel... any other suggestions? Thanks for all of your help by the way, I GREATLY appreciate all of your time!
I fixed the issue. I still do not know what was wrong, however, I reset my phone to factory defaults and completly wiped the SD card, and it fired up correctly.
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??

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..

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.

Hi there,
I am facing some problem with my camera flash. every time I put it on and then take a pic, then my camera get crashed. I am currently on 2.3.5. Anyone else facing same problem or does anyone have any solution for it, then kindly help..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TIA
I have the same issue on the same version. At some point the flash doesn't work (even with a flashlight app) and when using the camera the flash doesn't come on and the app crashes. I haven't figured out when or why it happens though.. A reboot fixes the problem for a while but at some point the flash stops responding again.
Hm
1. Try another Kernel or
2. If you are using a custom rom you could try to flash it again. Remember to do a Backup and do a factory Reset.
Most of times reflashing a custom rom fixes most of the bugs.
Ok i have a tmobile sensation 4g.. last month, my back camera kept crashing after flashing a jb rom...so i restored to viperS rom and camera still won't work. I get a " cant connect to the camera" error. i even flashed back to stock and camera still won't work. even using an app called "Z-DeviceTest" shows a big red x, meaning it not working. But in the app the front camera is working and can even see myself. so i did a reset and then wiped dalvik and cache multiple times. Just now, the new camera i ordered, came in and i installed it; with the same error. Has anyone experience this problem? Do you have any ideas what could be going on. any help would be appreciated..
Currently using CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG with ChronicBruce kernel

Either it's hardware other than the camera or you need to run an RUU.

After installing Jishnu's Camera Mod, the opposite effect that was intended happened on my n5 and now the camera is almost useless. it won't focus on anything and is basically unusable. I have tried installing new roms, i just installed a Cyanogenmod nightly by flashing the zip through CWM Recovery but it still hasn't fixed the problem. Someone please help me!!! :S
Get in touch with jishnu by PM and ask for an undue zip. Failing that use a root file Explorer to wipe the files and replace with the right ones. It's only software. I'd uninstall the camera and get it from the play store and move it to a system app

@Neardood1
Go to jishnu camera mod thread, in the op there is a restore back to stock camera flashable zip for 4.4 and 4.4.2, download the appropriate zip and flash it through recovery.
The mod is only for stock, cataclysm and purity ROMs.
I would also recommend making/or having a nandroid backup before flashing any mods or changing system apps on your device, in the event that something should go wrong, restore your nandroid backup and your good as new.
that's the first thing I did and it didn't work. I just installed Cyanogen with the PC app and still its useless. I'm running out of ideas here That mod must have changed something deep in the software for it to f*** it up this much

Hmmm. Yeah something's not right.... I would try to contact jishnu and see what he has to say.
Otherwise you might have to flash back the stock image and start over from scratch.
today isnt a good day
updated to franco r37, Jishnu's Camera fc nonstop
flashed the restore zip -> fc
flashed gapps photosphere zips -> fc
very strange
maybe tomorrow it will working again
Are you performing a full wipe before installing another ROM. There is no way this is a software issue if you are doing this correctly because a new ROM would over write the files that caused the camera issue. Either that or now you have a hardware issue.

If you really think it's the app, do a complete restore to stock using fastboot adb and the factory image.

I've been using the camera mod without problems until today.. FC for me too. Nothing changed that I'm aware of. Reflash didn't help.
@OP
Do you have any other camera apps installed and they also don't work ?
For me only Jishnu's Camera has stopped working, the LG Camera Mod, SnapCam, ProCapture etc. are still working like before
i miss the Jishnu's Cam :crying:
regards
He's posted a new update in the camera thread and now mine is working again. Give it a try.
not for me :crying:
wiped dalvik & cache partition, flashed the Jishnu's Cam v1.5 but still fc
well its seems that the play store/service update kills the cam for me
restored a backup, cam works perfect, updated to the 1.5 version, works perfect
after a while lbe security asked me if the playstore/services should be updated -> allowed and baamm cam killed
restored the same backup again and rejected the update for playstore/services and cam still works
rly strange scenario

Yeah now the camera app will just randomly stop working, so will other apps like snapchat; they all say they can't connect to the camera. I'm starting to think its a hardware fault but that doesn't explain why it stopped working as soon as I installed this mod
How was the end of this story?
