Okay I feel like I'm in serious trouble here.
I'm not a complete noob with phones, I have some competence, but I've hit a wall with this one.
I flashed many different ROM's onto my HTC One S to find one that I liked, and I finally got one, the Dark Jelly S ROM. However, the big problem is the camera. When I launch the app, it recognises the front facing camera, but not the rear camera? So I tried a ROM which I knew worked with the rear facing camera, and it still couldn't switch from the front facing one! So I installed Phone Explorer to see what the hardware was, and the rear facing camera chip doesn't even show up! Is it something to do with drivers, because I really don't think it'll be a hardware problem.
Sorry if I'm just missing something really obvious! But this is urgent and I have no clue where to go!
Thankyou in advance for any help! =]

i bought a phone off of ebay and received it with out checking the front facing camera. about a week ago i rooted my htc mytouch 4g slide and all went well i have not flashed any roms or anything but my front facing camera is not working, the rear camera works but when i hit the icon for it to go into the ffc i get flash options but no picture. i searched high and low for a solution and nothing not sure if it is a hardware problem or because of the root, if anyone could steer me in the right direction before i buy a new ffc and it not work. hllllllllllllp me please
Rooting your phone alone does not break your hardware. Anyone who says otherwise is a complete idiot.
It sounds like to camera is broken somehow.

I have two Photon's with a defective front facing camera. I was wondering if there are any more XT897 users with this issue?
I know at least one of the camera's was working fine untill a couple of days ago. The other, well I'm not sure. I'm curious if this is just bad luck or maybe it's a design flaw like the the way the speaker is mounted in the XT894 (same speaker as XT897, had to swap one). I'm waiting for a new digitizer to replace. I'll have a look at that one to see if there's any wear & tear to be found. I hope it's just a bad connection or something. If I remember correctly, this camera uses a ribbon flat cable. So hopefully it's as easy as cleaning and correctly reconnecting it.
I just really, r e a l l y, hate disassembling the XT897 front housing
Front cam works here. I had another xt897, it met an unfortunate glass of water. Front cam worked fine on that one too, before its misfortune...

The problem with these two phones is that the apps don't even see the camera. I am unable to select/swap camera's. So it has to be a hardware fault. And that worries me. One of these phones has never been opened. The other one, I can`t remember.
Will post here as soon as I get that new digitizer. After that I will open one up and see if I can fix it simply by cleaning/re-connecting the camera.
Hey everyone.
Since yesterday my phone makes clicky noises everytime i start up the camera. When looking at it, the lower camera seems to have detached itself and moves around when I activate it. Not sure if it was always like that or the camera has actually unglued itself.
Would it be possible for someone to record their camera while they open the app so that I can compare it to mine?
Thanks in advance,

So like 20 days sgo, i noticed that my rear camera is not working proper. But the front one is being excelent.
So i though " if i change the rom maybe it gonna work again", and here im am, using the evolution rom
And my rear camera is taiing blurrt photos and not focusing.... And there is no " dust" on it.
So:
1- is there any app or somehow to test the cameras? Both
2- if thats possible, is there any form to change the cameras? I mean using the secondary one.
And
3- should i try to clean it? I've gotta figure out how to dissamble the phone.
Ive fixed it, dissambled then cleaned it
Hi Everyone
My sony X5 (j9210) has issues with the camera.
First the wide angle lens stopped working, when i switched to it i have a black screen and the camera app would crash.
After while all the lenses stopped working besides the front camera, this issue was not only on the stock camera app also on other apps that used my camera.
I registered my phone for reparation under warranty (by a certified sony repair shop) and when I got it back everything worked again like new.
Now a few days later the same issue is appearing, my wide angle lens has stopped working and i'm pretty sure the same thing will happen all over again.
I'm incredibly frustrated and sad about this situation since it was a very expensive phone and i'm afraid this will never get resolved unless i get another phone.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Edit: My phone is running the latest firmware as of now 55.A.1.9.21.
I'm crying for help right now.
Thanks in advance

Sir, i'm facing the exactly same problem.
Did you find a solution beside sending to repair?
