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

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

I wish there was more I could do to help you, buddy. I'm really sorry your camera died.
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

Hi guys.
I installed the latest version of the cm10 & jellybam. Camera & gallery be freeze when I want open them.
Is it normal?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Yes , we all have it unfortunately...
They say , it's a problem with the camera framework.
It'll get solved in due time.
In the meantime , you can use Defcomg's MIUI ROM , i've seen less occurences in that rom but it still exists.
Not sure if it exists in JellyBAM but give it a try maybe they fixed it. (They stopped whining about it in the thread so...)
If they fixed it , let me know so i can switch to that.
I flashed my phone at least 50 times this week so , i'm kinda sick of it.
You try , i follow.
Cheers!

I think there isn't this problem for all, because some people don't have this problem.
WIPE DALVIK CACHE. I did that and youtube, camera and gallery works perfectly.
Yes it temporarily fixes the problem. Unless you're willing to wipe the dalvik cache on every reboot it remains a problem.

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.

Hello,
2 weeks ago my phone started to have a strange behaviour:
Every third photo i took was okay, like everytime, but the rest was broken. Basically they wont show any kind of picture information as well as on the device and on the computer.
Im on the latest ViperS ROM and Bricked kernel 1.4, the rest of the device works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Latest vipers? As in the jellybean version? 3.0.0 has no working camera yet. Devs are working on it. If you're on 1.6.3, try a different kernel, or try fix permissions. If these don't help, you might have developed a hardware fault. That won't be possible to fix.
Need to ask. Do you mean it takes a picture but the picture doesn't show up when you go back to look at it or the tags from the image are missing?

The imagefile is there, but it is broken.
By the way, deleting dalvik cache and the normal cache seems to have solved the problem Thanks guys!
Camera on my One Plus is not working from today. When i open the app it either force closes or says cannot connect to camera. So, I restarted the mobile, no change. Reset, no change. Instead, camera app is now missing, but shows in apps inside setting. Tried different custom roms but camera app is missing. Installed different camera apps but non worked.
I havent dropped my mobile or done anything physical to mobile.
Flashlight is also not working...
Please suggest me if any solutions... thanks

If you have bootloader unclocked and custom recovery like twrp in place, then the option with you is to reflash the "fasboot images" of the desired CM version(11S or 12) and then you can revert to the Custom ROM you want and flash full package of GApps version.
thanks for the help. but i figure out the problem.. the camera was not attached properly and i attached it and all is fine now.
