Hello all,
I'm hoping someone an help with this.
I have already asked a few people, but no-one has been able to solve it just yet. I have faith though.
No matter which ROM I use (was using Vegan initially, then tried TnT Lite and even the stock TnT) when I try to use the camera it seems to "crash". The app loads, and I can interact with the app, but the camera screen seems to crash (colored lines for a split second, then nothing) then goes black. I can still change settings in the camera (such as change to video etc) but the camera screen is just black. When I click the shutter button to take picture, the picture appears at the top right in the little box but is just a green square.
Anyone any ideas?
Does it sound like a software issue? Or hardware?
I'm really hoping software as I don't want my tab to be broken.
I have not tried an nvflash yet, but probably going to do that tonight and fully reset it. Might that help?
Thanks in advance!
Mine was doing something like this. I found out with mine that when I opened the case, the camera had popped out of it's spot and wasn't pointing out the keyhole.
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
I'm having an issue with Google Translate and I was wondering if other have experienced the same issue. I have a N5 running 5.0.1 and I'm trying to take a picture to translate the text. I've done this in the past without issue but tonight when I tried to do it, the exposure on the camera was way too low. My somewhat dimly lit room was pretty much pitch black. It didn't seem to matter what I pointed the camera at and the exposure never changed. It was as if it was exposing for a very bright object, like my TV or laptop screen, rather than what I was actually pointing the camera at.
I don't remember it behaving like this in the past. I thought it might have been the camera itself, but it worked fine in the camera app. I also confirmed that the room should have been exposed fine and wasn't in fact just too dark because the exposure compensation value was set to 0 in the camera app. I also tried clearing the Translate app data, but that wasn't any help.
Could someone else give it a shot and let me know what yours is doing? Do you also find the exposure way to low when attempting to take a picture to translate?
Thanks in advance.
Hey all,
For some time now, my camera has not been working...kinda. If I use the regular app or any third party camera app, it comes up as a black screen, freezes, and closes down. But then something weird happened.
I started playing Pokemon GO. On the bits where the camera is enabled (to throw Pokeballs), the camera works! Even more bizarre, if I open the camera app while Pokemon GO is running, it will work just fine! This applies to both the front and back camera, both of which had the issue I mentioned.
Only when the app is open though. When I close it and try to go back to the camera then no-go. I have done a reset on the phone, I have tried all kinds of third party apps, I have tried booting in safe mode. Nothing works except what I just mentioned.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on? I'd like to use the camera without opening Pokemon GO but I am OK with it for now since I can use my camera again, albeit in a convoluted way.
I was thinking about trying a custom kernel (insomuch as I can with a locked phone). Worth a shot?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have a Droid ULTRA through Verizon running AndroidOS 4.4.4
Hardware Problem...
Hey guys,
I just got my op7 this morning, does anyone use google photo too?
I found when I used google photo to browse photos, the screen will automatically become yellowish, and I'm sure the night mode is close.
Can anyone help me to solve the problem? By the way, when the phone is charging, the screen will wake up in sometimes... also need some helps to solve it...
Thanks
That sounds really strange. Did you install any apps with eye care behaviour? Does a factory reset fix the issue? Can you post a picture of the issue?
Yes,, there is an issue appeared in after the recent update, in my case, When I am using the OOS with Night mode turned on, while opening images in full screen with in the Google Photos app, the Night Mode turns off automatically,
I thought that this would be a feature of Google Photos to show us the accurate color of the images, but on going back from Google photos, the Night mode remains turned off , I have to manually toggle the Night mode agian to turn it on , or it turns on during the squeal unlock, Assuming this could be an issue of Google Photos and tried to revoke the "Modify System Settings" permission, but still the issue exists. This is an issue of OOS , appeared in 9.5.6, still in 9.5.7,
