Camera problem

My camera suddenly stopped working, I took pictures yesterday as usual but this morning when I tried to take some, well the camera just doesn't want to launch itself..
I tried to go back to official roms and such but it didn't change a thing, is there a solution please I don't wanna say goodbye to my qtek9100 camera function

Anyone please? I really need some help

yo, anyone alive please?

you haven't given much information. Does the camera app start with a black screen? Have you tried to start the app via the shortcut instead of the button. If the camera was bad i'd think the software would still run. Could your button be bad?

No nothing works, it's not even recognized by the pda anymore, I tried to launch it with any way possible, I tried to reflash but it's still not recognized. I also looked if the camera was ok (inside the pda, dunno how to say) but it was still in place, it suddenly stopped being recognized after flashing a rom radio

I didn't really get more answer lol

Anyone please?

if you have problems with camera after flshing original rom, then your hardware is broken.

G2X Camera Won't Launch

For some reason, the Camera function on my G2X no longer works. It worked a few times previously, but now every time I launch the screen flickers and nothing launches.
Persists across reboot. Cleared data on the camera app, want to avoid wiping the phone if possible.
Anyone run into this, before, or know a fix?

Haven't run into this problem myself but you could try downloading an alternate camera app from the market to see if that works. If it does, you may have to factory reset your phone. If it doesn't, it may be the hardware(the camera itself).

I noticed this problem as well, after rooting the phone. I'm not sure if it was an issue before that or not. But what I found is that if you rotate the phone into landscape mode and then open the camera app it works fine. Only trying to open it in portrait caused me any issues. Hope this helps.

This is ridiculous.
Yet true.
I'll be resetting my phone tonight to fix the battery drain, hopefully this will be resolved at the same time. But this definitely worked, so I can test out this camera some more while I wait. Thanks!

I had this issue too. Try opening while in landscape. Once open switch to portrait then close while in portrait. You should be able to open on portrait after.
Edit: This only works some of the time

Has anyone figured out the camera issue? I had my camera working fine, I rooted the phone and now the camera just flickers around the button. Must have this camera working.
Thanks

Had same issue, as you noted the reset solved my problem, camera is working AOK. I would have hated to loose the camera function, it is a good camera.

2nd phone that my damn camera stopped working after about 15 minutes. I didn't root this phone to make sure that wasn't the issue. The camera worked after I did a factory wipe, got it all set up and was taking pictures while I was setting it up to make sure it wasn't a rogue app. Thought I was in the clear and tried to take a picture and nothing. Same problem everyone else is having. just wiped the phone again for the 3rd time and camera works, going thru same process, can anyone give me any advice on this camera. Very strange and getting real pissed off.

I use anylock to bypass my lock screen so when I get a text message (ssm popup) It will open up my screen automatic and display text message. This way I'm not always pushing my power button to gain entry to phone. Problem is the lock screen app is some how screwing up the camera app. Also tried no lock and same problem.
Just wanted to let anyone using lock screens what I encountered, maybe save you hours of resetting phone.

Mine was doing the same thing and I was about to blame it on Pauls patch. It turned out to be widget locker. I froze it in Titanium and then it came on with no problem. I was really close to wiping AGAIN. Really glad I saw this. Thank You

Camera black screen

I get a black screen in Camera, Camcorder,
I'm using the XTv2MIUI ROM.
Anybody can help to fix it. Have install back to the 2.1 stock rom, format the SD ,deleted the 3rd party cam apps. Still can't fix it.

Wow so even after flashing back to stock you're still getting black screen? I've seen the black screen a few times with miui but not everytime. I was hoping it would be fixed with the final v5.

thats weird. the first time a flashed Miui I had that same problem. I just reflashed the same rom and the problem went away. I have never carried the black screen through multiple roms.

Even I flash back to the stock rom by RSD the black screen can't fixed. I already replaced the camera module but not fixed.

Do you use autokiller memory optimizer? I got black screens when I set it above strict. If you do maybe youd want to lower those settings.

I didn't install the auto killer, But even i flash back to 2.1 stock rom without any tweak apps,it still can't fixed the black screen

Hmm, same issue in several ROMs, sounds like an hardware error.
I have found the following in Loyat Forum:
(http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1667176)
Help! My camera shutter suddenly closed up and can't open anymore. Is this normal or my phone is screwed?
This is a known issue for xt720. Not all of them though but quite a number have experienced it already where the shutter just completely shut. There's nothing much can be done other than sending it back for warranty... OR you can try this trick. Get a magnet and put its South field close to the shutter. Apparently it will open up. Not sure how true is this but yea.... better than dismantle the whole phone just to find out you really screw the phone up for good...​
Maybe this could help...

Happened to me the other day, it crashed out 3 times, restarted phone, it crashed again then HTC error report came up, sent in and the camera worked.. That was last saturday, hasn't happened again.

why is that so !?
in my view its definitely a software issue, some difficulty between the camera hardware and the software, cuz i tried the restoring to default factory settings and it did work out well, camera started workin but after some time like 4 days same issues again !!!!!!! ??????? plss

have you tried clearing the cache of the camera app?
mine working flawlessly. have no such issue yet.

I had the same problem, first i heard strange sounds from the focus, a mechanic like.
After few reboots and testing suddenly the camera doesn't start.
A lot of reboots later i finished doing a factory reset.
It worked for a day, then again the same problem.
But i find the problem, my camera doesn't work with 8mp settings it auto close, btw with 1920x1080 in camcorder works but doesn't record the video.
I've just remember that problems start after installing lgcamera i think.
EDIT: after trying root without unlocking bootloader (i read it works) following this tuto ww.briefmobile.com/how-to-root-htc-one-x-att now i can use 8mp and full hd video recording. it's annoying
EDIT 2: now it isn't working anymore

the same thing exactly happens to me every time i restart the phone, the cam app opens
makes some strange noise like trying to fucos or something, then the app closes with no error. and when u try that again, after 4-5 times the app doesnt open at all
!!! contacted with htc they said reset the phone, i did but same things again, contacted again and they said go to our store , but my phone is guarantyless cuz i rooted it

Just lock your boot loader and restore stock Rom and you'll be good. A lot of people have traded their phones in this way.

in other forum i read that corrupt video or image can cause the close-app i remove them and also a high bitrate fullhd video and then the cam is working, often the focus noise still

[Q] Camera problems HTC Desire S

my camera stopped working.
aplicatico when I click on the camera, the screen goes black and hangs the phone.
however the other day so moving, I realized that the sound and hit a picture, the phone rebooted and went to see the albums.
And the albums was a photo of the mobile screen at that moment it hit the picture, I found it very strange.
My android was original, I tried to upgrade to another official version too, but not worked.
Anyone have any tips?

Install a custom rom

If you ask me , just make a factory reset try to see if you still got the problem , then try some custom rom if you want but you can try HTC test functions just in case to see if this working , or just found something for test for the camera ...
