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..

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.

i have read all posts i can read in 30 hours, i have read people who fixed just updating google maps, desactivating location services, etc... but i have done a lot of things and changed like 15 roms, im looking for a froyo FULL STOCK kernel to my infuse but i cant find it
ok, i have partially solved the problem..
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951636
Thanks all,
Last Thing, now when i open my camera got a black screen, like if my camera is not working, if i change to video or change back to front camera starts working again, and i can go back to take my picture with back Camera, do you have any idea what can i do now?

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

Firstly, go to/press recent apps button on the on screen button > close the camera app, and then Try to go to settings > apps > swipe right until you find the all apps tab > scroll down until you found the camera app > go to it > press force stop > scroll down, press clear cache > clear data too > restart your phone > open your camera app

CM11 >> Camera working
CM13 >> Camera not working
4.2.2 Stock >> Camera not working
I did format /system /cache /data
factory reset
installed CWM, TWRP and CM recovery all same issue.
Only working was CM11 (but usage was too laggy etc.)
What I have to do? some method to make a total wipe...
Phone never dropped, has been always kept in a closed and used only for testing or backup. And again before CM13 camera was making perfect photos.
thanks

This's really strange I never faced that before
but try those methods I think those will show us if it was hardware or software issue:
1_try to change the ftf file you're flashing
2_try this mod here in stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/mod-camera-cyber-shot-superior-auto-t2501740
3_if didn't work in the two previous methods try to reflash the new CM13 builds and Cm11 builds
if didn't work that means it's hardware issue
I hope that works good luck
hi guys, I just experienced last few days where by when i installed other custom rom on my opo, suddenly my stock camera app cant be used. rear camera cant focus properly, and after that the phone will reboot. I tried installing other roms as well as changing back to stock rom (i was on cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 unrooted) but problem still persisted. the phone wont reboot as long as i dont open camera app. it happens to all the roms that i installed so far. even after i used fastboot method to restore back to cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 still the same. open camera app, image cant focus (blur), reboot.
now whatever rom i install, either:
1. can open but rear camera image blur, then phone reboot few seconds later
or
2. camera app cannot open, then phone reboot
or
3. camera app rear camera cannot use. only front camera can use
please help! thanks

But that can't do hardware damage,and your issue seems related to hardware only.You should get your device checked from a professional repair shop.

I never said to get the rear camera module replaced,I said get your device "checked". If the problem were of the rear camera module,you could've replaced it yourself. :/

Hi there,
I got a problem with my Nexus 5 32GB (D821). Frist the rear cam failured, now the frontcam failured.
I tried another rear cam modul, doesnt work.
I tested the cam modul with another nexus - it works. I tried the cam modul of the first one - it works.
So the cam modules are fine.
I tried a lot of apps, none of them worked. I've tried another custom rom - nothing changed.
Of course I deleted the cache and stoped the app.
Got anybody an idea whats wrong with my Nexus?
Have you wiped and flashed the latest stock ROM? If the camera still doesn't work, it may be a failed motherboard.

Hi audit13 thank you for your response..
Yes, I flashed the last stock... but... there is no google camera app installed... and I can't find it in the Playstore...
Other App like OpenCamera can't connecting to the cameras..
There's no camera app after flashing the stock Google ROM? Strange because I recall that every Google ROM I flashed via fastboot had a camera app.

I whipped again... you're right. The google cam app is already installed but the icon is missing and I can't start the cam.
Other apps doesn't work.
But after I try the spare part again the front cam is working again..
Maybe there is a bad connection on there motherboard? Try cleaning the connection with pure isopropyl alcohol?
