Has anyone been able to diagnose this issue? I was hoping COS12 would fix the issue but unfortunately it is still happening for me and a few others I have spoken with on the OP forums.
Seems like it takes the picture but crashing only on the saving of the image. I plan on doing some logging tomorrow while it crashes but was hoping others might have already done troubleshooting and could offer some guidance on possible fixes.

It's been discussed pretty extensively and there's no known fix yet.

I guess the Sensation is not the first device to have this problem -
When using Fring, the front-facing camera shows my face as upside down to the other person , which means I have to rotate it 180 degs for them to see me right, which obviously means I get to see freaky people who's hair are defying gravity and who speak from their foreheads..
Anyways, I googled for solutions and found out that fring support apparently has an apk which has fixed this issue and they are sending it to people individually when they open a service ticket (no such luck at my end so far)...
But I thought it's worth throwing out here to see if anybody else has such an apk to share with all of us.
Thanks in advance,
mOrph
anybody with an apk? anybody at all??
I know this is a stupid question but have you tried reinstalling it?

Yes I did. Tried reinstalling. Having done a coupla hours of google searching, what I found out is Sensation isnt the first or only device to have this issue.
I finally heard back from Fring support. Here's what they had to say -
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting our support team.
Please note that the handset you are currently using is not officially supported by fring.
We are aware of the issue and working to solve it in the near future.
Make sure to check our blog for version updates http://www.fring.com/blog
Please feel free to contact us again should you have any further queries."
I am also having this problem, although I do have to say that is not just a problem with fring. I also have the same problem using the T-Mobile Qik video chat. I have seen fixes for the problem for other devices that would probably work, assuming I had a rooted phone...
Has anyone found a way to fix this without root??? This is the only thing wrong with my T-Mobile Sensation.
And please don't tell me to hold the phone upside down, that is not an acceptable solution.
Also it would be interesting to find out if there is anyone who doesn't have this problem. Considering this is the only thread about it, I'm beginning to think that this is a problem only on certain devices.
Tango works fine download that
I can confirm that Tango does work correctly, although the audio seems quite garbled. Hard to hear the other person, although they were on 3g at the time and not on WiFi.
Qik said they are working on an update to support the sensation.
So does the Sensation have an upside down front facing camera and just correct for it in the software? It seems weird that the video is upside down. I would understand having no video, as that could be a driver problem, or an interface problem.
I installed Busy Box a few days ago,and works great... then i installed MM about an hour ago,but whenever i launch MM it does it's "check" and says it doesn't see or detect BB... why would it be doing so?
[update] FIXED
What did you do to fix it?
I stressed out over this too, my solution was just restarting the darn metamorph app and everything worked just fine.
Thanks I just wanted some constructive advice or tips on how to fix this since the issue has been reported and the community has been asked for help; yet the answer was found and totally disregarded to make any note of it for anyone else who may have any other similar issues and come looking for a solution.

sorry about that... i wasn't getting notifications to my thread like i was suppose to.
i just reinstalled it (BB) and it recognized it,must have had a bad instal or a wonky APK... but all is fine now.
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.

Good morning all,
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the "mm qcamera" bug. In a nutshell it is a service used by the camera that *sometimes* stays open on some nexus devices (and possibly any Android device) consuming large amounts of battery in the background. By large I mean 20% an hour sometimes more!
The bug was supposedly reported in android 4.4.2 and fixed in a later version of Android. (4.4.4? I'm not sure). I can confirm this still happens to my nexus 5 once in awhile.
Upon researching, it seems most threads are about the 4.4.2 software, however my Nexus is running 4.4.4 and is still experiencing the bug. It is hard to find anything to read on 4.4.4, most search results talk about older software.
My question is this: Is anyone experiencing this bug on their nexus 5 (or really any android device) running 4.4.4? Has anyone found a solution other than rebooting the device?
Here is some more information on the topic

It only happens for some people and the reason behind it is unknown. For some it is a major issue, and for others it's never existed. Only way to get it to (maybe only temporarily) go away is to reboot. Not much you can do about it, but some have said it's better if camera apps are changed to user apps rather than leaving them as system apps.

Interesting, do you think running a custom ROM or a different kernel will help... or hope and pray Android L fixes it?

I doubt it, it might be a hardware driver issue, nobody knows what the real cause is. Personally I don't have this issue, I don't think another ROM or kernel will change anything much, although it's worth a shot if the drain applies to you.
It gives me a good reason to change ROMs.. haha. Ill give it some time and see what happens thanks for the quick reply so early in the morning!

Depends where you are in the world.. 10:46pm here in Australia. :angel:
But yeah, I have no idea if another ROM would fix the issue in any way. If it helps a little it's more likely because it's a clean flash, not because of the ROM itself, but who knows. Kernel won't affect this at all.
well, the camera daemon is normal to show up, especially when you use the camera or apps that use the camera. and its normal for it to take a larger % of battery than the camera app itself. what you havent really done is actually describe your problem. as far as i know, you dont have an issue, at least until you describe it. again, its normal for the camera daemon to appeae. now please, describe your actual problem. screenies?

what's not normal is if it continues to drain battery, which i havent seen personally in a while, nor read any real complaints on it in a long time.

I've heard it only happens now when you leave the offending app that uses the camera (snapchat, skype, etc) running in the background. I can't confirm though as I've never had the issue even before the update.

I can confirm I have the continual drain, unfortunately this was the other day and since then I have rebooted and charged my phone. I'm glad its only once in a while but from what I researched it should have been fixed in 4.4.4.
More info is available in the link I posted in the 1st post including screenshots and even links to XDA. The problem I have experienced a few times so far on 4.4.4 is identical to the link in OP.

do you have any apps that use the camera? and i mean any, there are many. if you used that app, and iy continued running in the background, the the camera daemon would also run in tbe background. if it is the old camera daemon issue that youre experiencing, then it would happen every time the camera is used, not occasionally. if its only once in a while, something else is causing your issue. i had the issue before, every single time i used the camera, not occasionally.

Hello everyone,
Just asking for some help here; I couldn't find any cases like mine online. (Although, tbh, I'm not sure how to describe it, let alone search for it)
But it is a reproducible issue that occurs. It isn't always there but for certain images/screens, it is always present. The video is one example.
I am on stock everything; I haven't really touched the phone much since I just recently acquired it.
What would be causing this issue and is there a way to fix it??
Thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. I've posted this question on the Q&A thread and I don't mean to spam or anything. Just making sure I reach out to everyone.
I have the exact same issue.. While playing games it happens a lot.
Also whenever green color is onscreen it happens.
I have searched a lot on Google and basically the query is not understandable for google and it shows me irrelevant results.

tell me about it...can't even search for it properly because queries like 'horizontal lines flickering' shows me search results a totally different issue
Mine also happen the same thing. Suspected software issues because only certain picture reproduce this issue. But a friend I found in facebook said he replace the screen to fix this. Starting to happen on 6.0.1 approx. 1 month before getting nougat custom rom. Never tried to reflash stock rom yet.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
