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??
sent from thy phone
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.

It is a hardware issue, not a software issue. Mine is with HTC right now for the THIRD time for the camera...... Now they want to charge me $145 to fix it. Needless to say, never again will I have an HTC device.
Same Problem
I have the same problem, did a factory reset, fresh install of CM 10.2 but nothing.
Always getting the "can't access camera" error.
I'm thinking it is indeed a hardware issue unfortunately, but if anyone finds a solution I'm happy!

I am Viper Xl 4.2 and Elemental kernel 8.2
surprisingly i had the same problem on the previous rom i was using which was 'Cleanstrip' based on T mobile German release.
can anyone help?
besides GIF mode doesn't work...
Did you try with the stock kernel for ViperXL?
Are you s-on or s-off? I don't recall. Sounds like it might be a kernel mismatch to me.

Have you done full wipes between ROMs?

GIF mode? Do you mean the Zoe presentations? Are you installing the camera mod?

Yes, always make sure you do the default wipes in TWRP (factory reset, Dalvik and cache) when flashing a new ROM. Random bugs are often caused by failure to wipe.

The camera contained in the Zoe mod has a gif mode, to make animated gif images. I'm guessing yes.

ya the ZOE feature on Sense 5 4.2.2 havent flashed any mod it jus came with every ROM i had on my device!
ya i did wipes prior to installation...
i also tried to go for fixing permissions as well but its still unpredictable..
everything works when the camera starts the zoom and the video also the simultaneous capture but not the GIF mode just FCs the entire camera app.
besides the camera also doesn't start from other means like if i want to share an image from whatsapp.

It seems that the Zoe GIF feature is broken on ViperXL 4.2. You can flash the Zoe camera mod to get the GIF feature back. But it will break camera zoom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436347
Read or search the ViperXL thread for details.
Not sure if the issue with the camera app not starting is related, or not.

Not particularly surprising to me. Although these are 3rd party camera apps, they must still use the phone's drivers and other low-level resources.
You might try to do a full wipe (factory reset, Dalvik and cache) and flash a different ROM (maybe stock rooted), just to make sure its not the ROM or kernel, and to be sure you did the required wipes. Or maybe even RUU back to stock, which would be a bit of a pain, since you would have to then install TWRP again, and flash the 2.15 firmware to get back to where you are now.
But if you RUU, and the problem still persists, it may indicate a hardware problem. But it seems too coincidental to me, since you have been messing with ROMs and kernels, and the if the camare worked before, its more likely just a software issue.

I haven't been following that thread, as I don't use the mod. Its best you read through the thread yourself, and determine what is the most recent and relevant information. Or ask in the thread yourself, if its still not clear. It seemed to me when I was reading it (its been a couple weeks), that zoom was fixed for a short while, but may have led to some other issues. Then it went back to zoom being broken. But I haven't been keeping up lately, and it may have been fixed again.

If I may. I have been flashing custom ROMs since July of last year on this device (AOSP, Sense, and everything in between) and as of late, I am having a camera FC also. I am S-OFF, Hboot 2.14, TWRP 2.6.0, and running CM 10.2 latest nightly. I have tried RUUing, MagioRom 4.0.2, Rage (because its 4.1.2), CM 10.1, and none of them produce a working camera. What's weird is that right after flashing a new rom, the camera works. It even takes pictures. But the second or third attempt to use the camera produces an FC. Sometimes is says, "Cannot connect to the camera." Other times it's, "Gallery has stopped working." Everything else is running great on the phone. I did a logcat, but i cannot find it.
Great!

In my case it is a bit different!
well the camera doesn't force close (by which i mean there is no message displayed)
it starts-> the menu loads up instantaneously -> the thumbnails may or may not load (at the bottom most corner) -> and it abruptly closes -> after 3 4 times it does start eventually......
the phone is very stable after the abrupt stopping of camera..
and my gallery is fine....
i dint get a message on focal as well it just doesn't load up there..
Hi, my display seems to shake, seeming on random. The picture will shake up and down and it makes it impossible to type or do anything until it stops. I don't have any Xposed modules installed and i am running Cataclysm rom with Elemental X kernel. It even does does on the recovery menu and when turning on. Any idea what is causing this and possible fix? Thank you.
I attached a picture of the problem.
I would do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache and cache.
Use helium to backup your stuff
Well, if it does it even in recovery and at boot, I would think that it's an hardware issue...

Does anyone else had/have this problem or know how to fix it without wiping the device?

happened to me once, reboot helped.. but make sure, you are on Dalvik runtime (options > developer settings)
I'm already on dalvik and reboots do nothing
A note: the camera doesn't force close, it's just the preview that freezes when I try to take a picture, if switch to video (btw video recording works fine) and back to camera i can see the live preview again. Sadly, it will definitely freeze again if I try to take another picture.
