Hi All,
First post so hoping I haven't broken any posting rules, I've searched the forums and google for an answer to this but haven't found anything....
I've unlocked my TF300T and installed cleanrom inheritance, first version I installed was 3.2 I think but yesterday I updated to the most recent. Absolutely love the rom, only thing is that when I'm on this rom my front and rear cameras don't work properly. The front facing camera can barely see anything indoors but works fine outdoors and vice versa for the rear camera.
Rear camera has way too much light coming in when outdoors but is perfect indoors and front camera has not enough light when indoors ie. you can't see anything but a black screen but if you point it at a lightbulb you can see that but again it works fine outdoors.
Last night I installed the latest nightly of CM10 which completely fixed the problem, only downside being that I couldn't read the SD card in the keyboard dock which I need more than the cameras so I've switched back to the latest Inheritance rom.
I've tweeted sdbags last week but haven't had a reply so thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas? Like maybe a way to take the camera drivers from CM10 and install them in Inheritance. I'm fairly technically able, can use terminal fine etc so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd like to give it a go.
Thanks in advance, Mike.

I want to see if anybody else is experiencing this issue.
Please post if you're rooted/unrooted and if you are rooted, what ROM you're using.
At this point in time, I have submitted a support ticket to HTC as well.
If you are in a low light/low-ish light setting (maybe even more, haven't tried all of them), and you hold your camera close to an object, the phone has trouble auto-focusing. It will attempt to focus, then revert to the blurred image. It seems that the only way to get focus is to find a way to get the camera to focus that image at a moderate distance and move it in close...but very slowly. That doesn't even work all the time. I think this is a SW bug...but I'd like to be sure.
I'm running CleanROM 3.1. (I've experienced this on CleanROM 3.0 as well )
Opened up camera and had the same problem you were describing, then just focused on a farther away object and tried to refocus up close and it worked fine (not using the focus on the object and slowly move closer method)
I tried that, it works sometimes and doesn't work other times (Automatically tries to re-focus and then reverts to a blurry, pre-focus image). It seems inconsistent, but it can work to get focus on close objects. I'm still hoping that HTC irons this one out

I have been looking at this since I picked up the HOX on release day. I'm now running fully stock ROM on the official 1.85 OTA release and I have seen a major increase in up-close focusing from the camera. I haven't made any changes to settings, but since the OTA I have absolutely noticed a marked improvement in ability to lock focus on macro-level objects, even when not in macro (Close Up) mode.
I've had this and even replaced my phone, AND tried several store units and they all do it.

Did some further testing, I can get it to work but it is inconsistent
News flash, cameras struggle to focus on subjects in low-light. My $5000 Nikon D4 doesn't always achieve focus correctly. So expecting a cell phone to be perfect in low light is ridiculous.
My One X can't focus on anything close up regardless of light level.

Have you tried the close up setting?

Hmm, mine works great, I did flash the 20mbps camera mod, but that wouldn't effect that.

In 4.2.2 you just press and hold the screen while trying to take a picture and it does AF and AE but I tried the same thing in 4.1.1 but I can't get it to focues. Especially while taking pictures at night. Does anybody know how to lock AE and AF in 4.1.1?
Hey,
So I cracked my screen, changed it with OEM new parts, and worked great for weeks after the installation.
Now, I'm having camera issues, back camera works fine, but when you switch to front facing camera the app freezes and crashes, and I get cant connect to camera black screen, and at this point the back camera wont work either, if you restart and clear data on camera app the back camera works again, but front facing will never work. Currently, I;m running stock rooted but I've had this issue with rooted custom roms and stock unrooted. I'm not sure if this is related to the screen change or not, but it worked great for weeks after the screen change. and, I;m having the same issue with other camera apps too, no snap chat installed nor any other apps that could conflict.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I am currently dealing with a similar situation. Did you find anything to help fix the problem?
This is almost certainly due a little piece of tape coming off of the ribbon cable. I happened to solve this by cutting a small piece of scotch tape and wrapping it around the ribbon cable so that the underside of the cable is not making contact with the PCB.
I know this is a super late reply but I hope it can help someone in a similar situation!
Hello. So i had the exact same problem as OP. Got my screen replaced (not by me), but a few days after that i noticed that my camera would freeze when trying to change it to the front facing camera. i had issues with messenger and the normal app. i did a few system restores and even unlcoked and installed custom rooted Roms last night. Still freezing on the front camera.
I'm now positive its a hardware connection issue. Anyone else have this issue? I feel i should open the phone and try to fix it.
Hey everyone,
I started using a lollipop rom not too long ago (few months ago) and everything on my M8 was working (gr8.) However, I went into my camera once, after many uses that worked fine previously, and the image is rotated 90 degrees CCW when using the rear camera, not the front camera. So I tried covering up both lenses, and discovered it is only using the top of the duo camera.
After trying a new rom, SkyDragon (which is great btw, Tigerstown; I don't have enough points to do many things quite yet), I still have this issue. This means it wasn't the rom I was originally/am currently using, but might have to do with hardware? I did nothing different to my phone after installing either rom, and it's weird that it just happened, even after several uses of it working alright.
Does anyone know what could be the issue, or know someone who had a similar issue with their M8? imgur dot com slash GAtnFTo (broken up Legend of Zelda protagonist, because my privileges are weak) This image taken with my camera while phone was in portrait.
Thanks xda community!
Hey guys,
I have a problem with my camera on the LG G4. Note: The Snapdragon Camera is flashed on the device but I tested different apps too. The camera was pretty good on stock and worked well. The internal/selfie camera is still fast and works fine but the external camera / back camera is way to sloppy. While trying to take a photo with apps like Instagram, the Google Photo Scanner or Google Camera / Snapdragon Camera it seems to use the wrong exposure times.
Even while taking a photo of a person in front of a white wall being in room light it's lagging pretty hard and everything is sloppy and slow. Taking good photos is really hard this way. Only when I focus on a TV / Computer Screen it's running fine since the exposure and ISO timing is automatically changed to the correct values. When I move away from the Screen again, it's getting slow and sloppy again.
Anyone had something similar with Cynanogen Mod? I also had the issue with my Nexus 6 before which was really annoying. I don't know if I do something wrong while flashing, but I can't find out whats wrong. I tested the same enviroments with my girlfriends unflashed Huawai P9 and her phone is just running fine without problems. I would use stock software but I really hate all the bloatware and modified Android versions they bring in.
Everything else works fine and the phone overall has a good performance. The issue was already existing with CM13 too. Maybe some driver being installed wrong?
Thank you very much. If you need more informations just tell me so I can give you more infos.

Greetings and welcome to assist. You really need to ask this in the rom thread, it is quite a common issue when using cm based roms for there to be camera issues.

Hi all !
In my hands now OP7 PRO which has been regulary updated and after recent update both cameras stopped working, youtube too !
So, had it downgraded to 9.5.3. and back camera and youtube back again but front camera not (so not even motor poping out)
Tried clean flash with fastboot rom but all the same
Done camera test through *#808# with no success, tried camera motor test, calibration too and no joy.
So before I order any parts just wonder whats the logic behind motorised cameras:
will motor pop out if camera is dead or other way round if motor is dead will that cause software block to launch camera (when you want to switch from back to front camera you getting nothing). ! Ready to order camera or motor but not sure whats actually gone !
Any experience, opinions about this Oneplus issue that seems affect many
Thanks
Got the exact same scenario as you but yet no solution.
Still looking for some answers online everyday though ..
Hi !
Done few tests so far, prove that motor/actuator is working and it must be the camera. Orderd camera yesterday and with a luck should get it in 30 days.
Funny thing about it that once I had Oneplus 5 with exact same issue, ordered new back camera, installed it and all back working than was curious and returned old one and the old one back working too
Conclusion ? No explanation by now.
Update: new camera arrived, installed and all back working !!
