The camera on the back of my phone won't take videos, the front-facing camera takes videos fine, both cameras take pictures perfectly.
I have tried everything, new rom's, re-flashing the stock camera, using camera mods all to no avail, the camera doesn't work for snapchat also so it is very annoying taking videos with the front-facing cam.
I have a HTC Sensation XE running this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115520 which is android 4.2.2
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone else experience this issue? Every time I go to record a slow motion video the screen gets dark. I can see the video but it's really dim and plays back really dim. This only happens indoors. When I first got the phone I just thought that must be the way it is. However, I installed a particular ROM on my girlfriends phone (HTC Amaze) and it has slow motion video baked into the ROM and it records perfect without dimming itself. Furthermore, it does it in 720p. So there must be a way to fix this in our One S phone's. Someone with enough knowledge please help.
Same thing happens on my One S running on Trickdroid 6.1.0

I noticed it right out of the box. So it has nothing to do with Trickdroid (FYI). But I know there is a way to fix this. I just don't know how to go about it...
Same here. Happened on stock Rom straight out the box. :/

That comes with taking a slo motion video. You need lots of light when taking them. This isn't a DSLR.
When you shoot in slow motion, you are taking pictures quickly. And when you take pictures quickly, light has less time to create an image in your camera. Shoot in lots of light otherwise you'll get the dark and gloomy.
I understand that our phones are no DSLR camera. However, my girlfriend's HTC Amaze can record in slow motion with no low light issues what so ever.. Obviously you didn't read my first post... And it records in 720p slow motion. Better then our One S phones. There is a fix or a camera.apk replacement somewhere. I could use her apk from her ROM but then if I did I'm sure I wouldn't have the "Continuous shoot mode" which I love.
i was using slow motion video thing on my sensation and it was greate one s have a big problem in this case also on new 4.0.4 update too
I've been having problems with my back camera.. It can take pictures but randomly only shows a black preview of the picture taken and says "no thumbnail" for that picture or half of the picture shows gray or green colors only and also sometimes force closes.. Front camera works fine and I've already tried different camera apps and different roms but still facing this problem.. I've got no problems using video recording though that's why I think this is really weird..
Hope someone could help me out on this since I've got such an unreliable camera that is randomly usable for taking pictures which is really annoying..
I had same problem when I was on ICS but with front camera. I flashed JB and now it's not even showing black screen, it just crashes

I finally found out what is triggering my camera not to work properly.. When the device heats up that's when the back camera has issues (maybe since it is located on the upper part of the phone and that's where the phone usually heats up)..
Does anyone have an idea if this is hardware or software related?
I´ve been testing CM12 beta 6 for 3 days and it´s great. Is the first time I install a custom ROM on a Sony Xperia device so everything is new for me in this device and the first complain about this is camera.. On stock the camara was ok for a 8MP device, very similar to my S4 Active(8mp). But now without the stock ROM the camera is terrible, very noisy in good light or low light. I´ve tried to improve the quality modifying the "build.prop" and "media_profiles" into system. But is not even near to stock. I know Sony has some drivers for the camera and some DRM in the TA partition, but by this moment my 5 years old HTC HD2 with 5MP is taking much better photos, the S4 Active I have also with CM12 is taking soo much better pictures and I think is the same or similar hardware 8MP.
Are some tricks for improve camera quality that I didn´t hear about Xperias devices?
Is this just with CM12 or with any Custom ROM?
Can I do something to improve my camera quality?

I know is just a beta yet, but before I Flashed that, I Flahsed LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 and the camera was the same, of course was more stable ROM but camera quality was the same. Too much blurry like if the lense was dirty compared to stock 4.2.2. I think it´s maybe because of the DRMs into the TA partition, same story with Xperia Z3 and others Xperias devices, so I want to know if there is any trick to improve camera quality to be similar to stock 4.2.2 o it´s imposible to do that.
someone says that varun is working on a new camera hal that maybe improve camera, we have a dead 4.2.2 device upgraded to 5.0.2 with near full completity (only need some fixes with framework, kernel modules like bluetooth modules and then the best part, battery improvements and performance, what at the moment without too much as kk have is a lot better than kk )
Camera stopped unexpectedly
Hi guys. I am really lost on what to do after flashing my C2105 with CM12 Beta 6. When i change the settings on Camera, everything can be done with the exception of when i try to change the resolution of the video from 720P to QVGA or the other one. I wanted to change to a smaller resolution so that the video won't be too large for sending through whatsapp. But when i press on QVGA, the camera has stopped unexpectedly. And i will have to clear data and cache and reset the settings again. Unluckily, the resolution still can't be changed :/ Ayone has the same problem or solution?
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.

Just want to ask if anyone has a solution to the XZ problem which is the camera easily overheat and forcing the camera app to close. I can only take 5 minutes(max) for the rear camera and about 12 minutes(max) at the front. Is using Custom Rom or AOSP 10 allow the camera to record longer videos even if it's heating a bit? thanks in advance. btw I'm using my XZ for my online class so it's a pain cant open the camera long enough.
sorry this sony xperia xz is also a chronic problem and there is no solution
