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.

Guys, could you check something on your sensation: whether the front facing camera pin hole is perfectly in the middle of the lens circle? On my sensation, it sits slightly above the center of the circle. Don't know whether it's designed like that or just a fluke .

Slightly above on mine. Non-issue. Everybody got their panties in a bunch over it in MT4G forums back in the day too.
Damnit it looks like HTCstill has ****ingQC problems. This and now the screen too, **** my luck

Well, good to know that their's other also like this. I mean its no biggie, and who knows, maybe it was designed to be like this. Folks, please let us know how your front camera is.
Wow.. Just wow.
Mine is off center high and to the left but the camera view doesn't seem affected by it.
they put mine on the back
its the same on all the phones, looks slightly higher from the normal viewing angle. just know it doesnt have an effect on your cameras ability to capture images/video so there is no cause for concern. just more ocd phone owners, but i guess we all tick like that
Yeah..same as mine. Slightly up side..
Hey guys, I just purchased a sensation on ebay. It was great when i first got it, but immediately i decided to put it under the light, to check if it had dust underneath the screen (being that it was a common problem), and it did. Alot. I want to keep the phone because it is so damn awesome, but was wondering if anyone one here got to fix it themselves? or got some professional to fix it and if they had good results from it. Since I bought the phone off of ebay, I would not be able to send it off to HTC for the repair. I visited a cell repair shop (ubreakifix.com) and they told me to come back later for the repair. Anyone have suggestions regarding the dust under the screen issue? Should i just return the phone to the seller on ebay?
Also, another minor issue i have noticed was the front facing camera quality. In low light settings, the picture quality came out REALLY dark and GRAINY compared to my mytouch4g. Is this common among all htc sensation users? Any help would be appreciated!

There is a thread that talks about dust underneath... Search for it and discuss right there

First question i can't answer.
Second question: The front camera is a VGA camera, so the quality isnt good.

I had the dust problem.. I have to keep blowing to get them off.
And since the quality of the front camera is VGA, it is really low quality.

Fortunately for me I never had that problem with dust under the screen, I guess I am with the few lucky ones.

worth a shot, check to see if there's dust on the front cam cause mine accumulates a lot of dust after only 3 days and it severely lowers quality.
I dropped my HTC Sensation a month ago, my replacement digitizer arrived a few days ago. The screen is working perfectly now, but I just realized that the microphone and front-facing camera aren't working at all.
I think I might have broken a cable or scratched something in the phone when I was replacing the screen. I don't really need the front-facing camera, but I need to fix the microphone. Is there a way to fix it other than replacing the hardware? (e.g. maybe this is a common issue but I just don't know about it?).
Also, if I get earphones with a microphone, will the HTC Sensation be able to use the mic?
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! =]
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
