Is it right for the front camera to not work using an ics rom?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
who said that? its working just fine but there is an issue, videocalls in skype are green regardless of camera chosen
If the quality is bad, check for dust. My front facing camera will degrade 40ish% (literally) after a week cause of dust build up.
Is won't work at all in camera mode, I don't no why it must just be mine. It hasn't worked with various roms. Should I re install the firmware? I don't really use it but its annoying to no it won't work, thanks

I don't have that issue, Skype with video calling works just fine for me. Maybe it is simply an unresolved bug on OP's ROM if he is rooted?

ICS Sense ROMS, specifically. I think AOSP ROMs don't have that problem.
OP, what do you mean by "not work"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
I mean not work as in neither using camera or Skype etc. I have used sense roms and aosp. Currently I'm using dan sharpys stripped rom. But like I say it won't work in any rom. When I select it in camera I don't get any errors etc I just get a black screen, I have made sure its clean. Any help would be great!

Actually now, if I switch to it, it causes my phone to reboot?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
In that case it could be a hardware problem. I've read about a few people having this problem (black front camera screen on a few ROMs and the camera app freezing) but there seems to be no concrete solution for it.
I'm having this problem too. Ever since I upgraded to ICS OTA my front camera has not worked in any application and usually causes the phone to freeze then reboot.
Glad I'm not the only one, just like worldofglass it happened when i upgraded to ics

Hi, i am also having that problem. Yesterday I noticed that my front camera won't work at all. This morning was working just fine, but I was in my car when I tried it, so I just tried it once. Few hours later it won't work again. Once when I tried to turn it on, phone restarted (but just once)... I can se settings, effects and all other buttons on screen, but everything other on screen is black. I have official ICS, and sense 3.6.
Please if anyone solve this problem or find out it's nature (hardware or software) let us others know.
Thnx!
Any answers for this? Habe tried various roms and even re flashing firm ware but still no front camera. My phone just freezes and force closes any app using the camera. Any help appreciated.

So it doesn't look like anyone's found a fix for this?
Like cartermg120, I've tried numerous ROMs (ARHD, LeeDroid, Elegance + CM 9 nightly) and re-flashed the firmware from HERE. Nothing has fixed it.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to flash the latest official RUU (HERE)?
I suppose that would be a good way to check whether it's a H/W or S/W problem and if H/W, the phone could be returned for a warranty repair...
Front facing camera.
Me too, front facing camera has never worked since the ICS OTA update. Any suggestions?

Take off back cover take a cloth and clean where the front camera is? And OP sounds like a hardware issue more then anything else..

Install the latest OPEN GL DRIVER for ADRENO. It solved my green video issue.

I have that issue as well. I have been using Virtuous Inquisition rom and when selecting front camera on any app that uses capture, screen goes black. I can continue using the phone except the camera will not work, front or back. I have to reboot in order to be able to use the back camera.

I expect this has been tried, but when I installed cm9 my camera kept playing up, front and back. I wiped data and cache in camera apk, booted to recovery, fixed permissions wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. After a long reboot my camera worked fine. Worth a go if nothing else.

The autofocus on the sensation is not working for close items you want to photograph.
An example:

Anyone other experiencing this?
Did you use the close up mode?? Mine focuses just fine..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I've had the opposite problem (tried to take a video of some paragliders), close ups are really sharp though. The automatic settings are a little bit unpredictable, might need to set the mode next time.

That makes it even worse. I called HTC and they suspected a firmware issue.
Im running 1.28.401.1
Yeah, I've had some issues with autofocus with close-ups, with the camera set to macro mode. When you tap on the object to focus it will go through its range of focal lengths and miss the subject. The only remedy to this is to move the phone further away. So it seems that the phone's lens/es are more capable of macro shots than the focussing system currently allows.
I called HTC and they said it might be software related and will probably fix this in next update. Let's hope so!
Having the same issue. It manages to focus fine but locks focus at the wrong moment. Glad to hear they'll fix this.
I definately not. Close up works better for me the autofocus does take a little patience but is worth it after its taken. It blows the g2x cam out of the water that's for sure!!

dude get a can of compressed air & clean out your PC. it'll thank you for the cleaning
I've got a similar problem, it appeared like 2 weeks ago, I cannot focus up close objects I've tried everything, it's as if the focus is stuck on something and never changes no matter what I do. I have changed the mode (close up or macro) different light and so on .. but I can never get a focus It doesn't even attempt to focus. It used to work before when I played around with the setting if I would switch on/off some of the things the camera would magically "wake up" and start focusing, any Idea ?
It's one of the things that HTC broke in the 2.3.4 update. Macro mode worked great before that (i used to use it for bulk barcode scanning, but that is impossible now).

My camera seems to have wigged out,Tonight I opened the camera app to take a photo and out of nowhere these green lines appeared and they are there while in the app and also appear on the photo.Just letting you all know in case this happens to anyone else.I would like to hear back if this has happened to anyone as I haven't heard of this being an issue and would like to know how rare it is.Thanks

Did you try to reboot your phone not using fast boot ?(you can turn it off by going to settings>power then uncheck the fast boot option)
If that doesn't work try a hard reset This erases all data so be careful and backup.
1. Take out battery.
2. Put it back in.
3. Hold volume down button down.
4. While holding volume down hold down power.
5. You should get a menu with some options, select clear storage(use the volume keys to move up and down, press and release power to select it)
6. When it asks you to confirm press Volume up for yes.
7. Check to see if it works correctly without any apps installed if it does install your apps and then make sure it's still working correctly. If it's still not working send it to HTC.

I just did a reboot when this happened and it was fine after that. It only appeared that one time.
Yes of course I know about and have tried everything in your post,I appreciate your input,And no need to send it to HTC I am still within 30 days so I am taking it T-Mobile as soon as they open,thanks

I have tried this once. A reboot (not shutdown and startup) did it for me. And I haven't experienced it since. I think it perhaps had something to do with the installation of Skype, but I'm not sure. Now I just hope it doesn't happen again.

Okay I pulled the battery again and all is fine.Has to be a software glitch
Oh and I don't use Skype so it can't be that but it did happen right after I installed the Google+ app

When you get the green line issue: Contact HTC Support.
My thread about this:

Likely to blame for the raw software. Do not worry, more than sure the camera is not physically damaged, reset or backup must help to solve it.
Just wanting to throw another possibility into this - although unlikely - it could actually be a hardware issue.
I have a Digital SLR Camera - and when I've not used it for a while, or, seemingly, when it's a little colder than ambient, that is the exact same effect that I get, until I've run a fair few shots - this seems to clear the build-up of static / moisture / coldness / whatever it is on the CCD Sensor, and it comes back to life.
As I say - it's just a thought - and the CCD on my camera is quite a lot larger than the one in my phone (!), but interesting none-the-less.
I had this too, just sent it back for replacement. There's another topic about this, apparently something to do with EMC protection.

Hi, I got a problem with my main camera, has dosn't work after I change my old broken lcd a new. I changed roms, kernel, roms with ruu, it did not work. Front camera works. In z-device test main camera got a red cross, and in screen option has got problem "test not done" on:
touchscreen detected, touchscreen accuracy, pressure, orientation, size, tool major axis, tool minor axis, touch major axis, tool minor axis.
Maybe problem is the not original LCD?

i have flashed almost every GB rom and kernel combination i could find. For some reason my front camera does not work at all. I tried the stock camera app and the lg camera zip with no luck. when i switch to the ffc i get weird patterns and pink fuzz and then nothing can be seen. It also doesnt work for the video chat apps.
Any suggestions?

I bought the phone used so im not sure if it was dropped previously. I never tried the camera on bone stock because i rooted and flashed a rom as soon as i got it. I didnt think to check the front camera until recently when i went to check the quality and saw that it did not work. I tried it on stock rooted, cm7, all the other cm7 based roms (shendu, lezo,etc), weapon g2x etc. with no luck

It might be something as simple as a loose connection. This phone is really easy to take apart to fix a loose connection. Tons of guides online about how to do it

I took the back apart and checked the ribbon connector for the ffc and it was in place and connected. so im guessing it's just a bad ffc module. thanks for the suggestion it was easy to take apart.
So my camera no longer works on my phone for some reason. It either goes to a black screen, a grey screen, says cant connect to camera, or says gallery stopped responding or it has a really fuzzy and oddly colored picture and then freezes. Also, the gallery is extremely laggy and force closes at times as well. This has happened to me on AOKP, Viper, Cleanrom, and Dirty rom (Nocturnal). One time I was able to switch it to front facing camera, which seems to work ok.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be or how to fix?

On stock/locked HOXL, I had gallery stop on me occassionally; but when I would try gallery again, it would let me in. Can't say I had the other troubles though. So far on ViperXL, haven't had any issues yet
Yeah. Usually easy fixes tho. Already wiped cache and reflashed cleanly. So Idk what the deal is. My fear is it is hardware related.

My proximity and light sensor haven't worked and I don't know if it's hardware or not. I looked around I wiped and flashed stock like one suggested. Nada. Also saw a guy who said that when starting the phone cover the sensor...didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions? Also am I the only one having a laggy ui when viewing a YouTube video. What I mean is before the video loads I can scroll through comments and etc smoothly but when it loads the menus and etc Start to lag. This happens with every streaming video. All advice is welcome.I'm on rooted stock ics and I flashed the wipe thing in cwm prior to flashing this Rom.
