Hey all,
I believe this may be my first post on this forum under this name. Forgive me if this topic has already been discussed, but i searched everywhere and coudnt find anything.
My front facing camera is currently not working. Ive recently updated to 4.4.3 base firmware (no ruu, just flash with adb/fastboot). Ive tried several ROMs, including Venom, IC, and currently on GPE Sinless. This problem persists through all.
Rear camera works great. Anytime i try to switch to front, however, it locks up for a few seconds ans then crashes. This happens in Camera and snapchat.
This is probably a firmware issue, or posibly a hardeare related problem. I am no expert by any means, nor am i even a coder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for taking the time yo read this.

I recently flashed to Shav3d on my wing camera worked 1 time then neither the button or shortcuts would work thinking some how i might have corrupted a file or the rom just didn't like me i went over to numb3rs .. still no camera so i jumped back to shav3d again at this time i still have no camera and was wondering if anyone had had this particuler problem and if so if you might be able to reccommend a fix. Thanks ahead of time for your advice and input.
have you tried anybody elses WM6.5 Roms? All the ones listed were made by Ace who isn't doing any updates (Atleast i don't believe he is) but i don't think anyone else had those problems with his ROMs
Good point i'll try another this evening. Open to suggestions on which. didn't figure was a common. Problem as didn't see mention of anthing about it posted. Thanks for the respond.
they are all good... really just depends what you want M2D or titanium or niether.

Yea, that's weird. I would hazard to guess that the phone's hardware is having a problem somewhere. I don't have that problem at all.
As to updates to my ROM's, well, if these TP2 people would stop freakin releasing soooo many ROM's, then I could work on mine! I'm trying to tweak up the visuals, and fix some minor bugs. But there's nothing that really needs a major update, just some very minor things.
But there's millions of ROM's out there now. You can try everything. It's impossible to say which is good now.
Thanks guys ill keep chasing the issue except for that one minor matter i love your ROM's Ace so keep it up
I'm still a noob, but whenever I've done something or tried a ROM that jacked up my wing, I revert back to stock ROM, and try again from scratch. I know it's probobly a long way about the problem, but it works for me. lol! like I said, still a noob. lol.
Sorry to have to resurrect this thread. I'd really like to stick with the numb3rs ROM, there has to be a way to fix the camera; I'm hoping someone knows how.
I also noticed the home screen & tmail randomly crashes when I open a message & it halts on "loading". grr.
Unless anyone knows of a cleaner ROM with a similar UI?
Check to make sure your SD Card is working properly?
Hi
Apologies as I am positive this has been answered before, but for the life of me I cannot find the answer by searching these forums or googling my issue.
Since flashing my HTC Desire with a new ROM my device will reboot everytime I try to record video. I remember searching several months ago and understood this is due to the radio? I am now running gingervillain and cannot seem to find what i need to get the video capture to work. Is it a new RUU I need? If so how do I know which one to use?
IIRC it is also dependant on what network the phone is on? If it makes any difference I am on T-mobile.
Thanks in advance,
Mr Davey Jones.
I have a MB865 on AT&T on stock ICS 4.0.4. A couple months ago, I had cracked my screen and repaired it myself with great success with that helpful guide in the forums. However, when I finished, both of my cameras (Front and Back) no longer worked. EIther it said failed to initialize or Camera isn't responding. Is there any way to fix this? Is there any way to troubleshoot what is working and what is not? Thanks for looking at this post.

Check the CQATest. But, it's 90% possible, that you made a mistake when you closed your phone.

Have you tried performing a factory reset, or clearing the camera data from settings? Have you tried installing a third party camera application to see if the same errors are persistent? If none of these work, you may have caused some damage to the camera itself, or some other hardware related damages.

So after the CQAtest, I found out that my front facing camera does work however my back camera doesn't work, including the flash. Is there a way to just fix the camera, like order a new camera part on ebay, or any other suggestions?

As in, taking it apart, plugging back every to the motherboard?
Hi folks,
My camera occasionally disconnects, wether it be in Snapchat or another camera application. The camera feedback will be a distorted green colour followed by a message about being unable to connect to the camera itself, switching applications and closing others doesn't remedy the issue. Restarting the phone is the only solution.
Is anyone else experiencing this? The issue is very inconsistent and I've tried to reproduce it with no luck.
Yep, same issue here. It's actually grown worse within the past few days (happens multiple times a day) and it requires a restart in order to get the camera back. I'm wondering if this is a software issue or something worth contacting Google about in order to swap out for a new device. I'm running stock and haven't rooted or done anything invasive... Let me know if you have any luck.

I've got the same issue... only seems to be since I installed snapchat... so I wonder whether this has anything to do with it...
Hey guys,
I just got a Atrix 2 from a buddy of mine who recently upgraded phones. The screen is cracked and has 2 black spots, so I ordered a new screen and digitizer for it.
Anyways, the only other issue is that the camera does not work. I did a factory reset, and installed the ICS upgrade from android 2.3. Thinking maybe that would fix the camera not working issue. But it did not. Front camera works occasionally, but main camera never does and FC's camera app.
Is this a hardware or software issue? Are there any troubleshooting that I could try? If the camera itself is bad, I would simply install a new one while I have the phone tore down to install new screen and digitizer.
Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated guys!
Thank you!
Try installing the "Ucam" app from the playstore and check if you can open it.
Why upgraded to ICS when jellybean is already available??(I think you did system update in the setting) If the above app also dosnt work then you can try installing a jellybean rom and check..
Is your sd card properly working?
Thank you for the reply! I tried installing the camera app you mentioned, and still does not work. It force closes, unless you choose the front camera.
As for why i didn't install JellyBean, honestly ive never rooted a phone nor have i installed a rom or the like. I simply downloaded and installed the OTA update to ICS. I wouldnt even know where to begin to root or install a custom Rom to be honest lol
Is it possible the camera hardware itself is bad? I downloaded a flashlight app, and the flash does not work either.
Thanks again guys!

I also have experianced similar problems with the camera couple of times long ago..(probably when I was in ICS)
A simple reboot used to fix the issue..
I am not sure about your case.

to verify whether it is a hardware fault, i think you'd better to try several other ROMs first,
then you can have a conclusion....
