[Q] Stock Camera not working in Sensation

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
Dipil Jain

Got exactly the same thing happening with me guys...any ideas?
Have updated to the latest firmware etc and wiped everything several times and tried installing it with different options but still cannot get the camera to work

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.

Help to solve the problem of camera freezing on cm10 & jellybam

Hi guys.
I installed the latest version of the cm10 & jellybam. Camera & gallery be freeze when I want open them.
Is it normal?
Is there a way to solve this problem?

Yes , we all have it unfortunately...
They say , it's a problem with the camera framework.
It'll get solved in due time.
In the meantime , you can use Defcomg's MIUI ROM , i've seen less occurences in that rom but it still exists.
Not sure if it exists in JellyBAM but give it a try maybe they fixed it. (They stopped whining about it in the thread so...)
If they fixed it , let me know so i can switch to that.
I flashed my phone at least 50 times this week so , i'm kinda sick of it.
You try , i follow.
Cheers!

I think there isn't this problem for all, because some people don't have this problem.

WIPE DALVIK CACHE. I did that and youtube, camera and gallery works perfectly.

Yes it temporarily fixes the problem. Unless you're willing to wipe the dalvik cache on every reboot it remains a problem.

[Q] Nexus GTI9023 issue need help

hi guys,
i have a nexus gt-I9023.
i connected my phone to my laptop to copy some files and something happened and my phone started restarting itself.
i even tried to do a factory reset and it seems to be going through the same issue even after a factory reset.
is this a hardware issue or can i get rid of it by installing a new rom.
also i am a novice users when it comes to resetting roms, would appreciate if someone could give me a step by step instructions on it.

You should try change your kernel.. if you use overclock also, disable it.. changing rom is not bad idea.. making a full wipe might help also not just factory reset..

i am a newbie at this can you please help me do a full wipe .. ?? i am not interested in putting in a new rom .. just want to restore my phone to the factory defaults... i am not that worried about the data ... i have it backed up in my google account.

nexus s same problem
hi,
i am experiencing exactly the same problem on my nexus s, kindly guide me to the full wipe process

i have done a full wipe as well .. using hard reset method ... and still the phone is not working properly ... would appreciate some help here...

I started writing a some posible ways to fix and i realised that if you are pure stock you can go to your carrier and get it fixed.. (they will probably replace the motherboard)

I had a similar problem that started like 1,5 years after i bought the phone. Random restarts when i connected it and problem loading the phone now and then.
I cleaned the usb-port from some dirt and it started working again.
Very strange but it worked for me

alot of people said a factory reset fixed slow performance after updating so you could try that, just make sure to back up the stuff you need

What kind of firmware should i use?
Pre-rooted, flash zip via recovery or FTF flash via flashtool?
What type of flash?
Full flash or simply dirty flash?

i flash my Z3 and upgrade to marshmallow. Today i check my camera and use it to record video and found no errors like before. Thanks for you advice, its really solved my problems.

Same here all problems solved in .291 update.

"I assume you unlocked your bootloader. I was also having this problem before. Try renaming these files on /system/etc/firmware/
tzwidevine.b00 -> tzwidevine.b00.bak
tzwidevine.b01 -> tzwidevine.b01.bak
tzwidevine.b02 -> tzwidevine.b02.bak
tzwidevine.b03 -> tzwidevine.b03.bak
tzwidevine.mdt -> tzwidevine.mdt.bak"
Maybe someone can tell me what this fix does?
Anyway use it at your own risk, but it looks promising. mine working fine after renaming those files.
