Every time I try to open the camera I get this error. (Check attachment's) this used to happen but sometimes it would work but now it never works at all.
I love how Motorola has the balls to do what ever they can to prevent you from unlocking your bootloader and rooting your device but can't even produce a functioning camera. Mind blowing if you ask me.
Possible Solution
In most cases it is a hardware issue. If you take the back off and try pressing firmly on or around the camera while opening the camera app and it starts working, than all you have to do is tighten the screws around the camera to make it work again. You might have to do it a couple of times to get it to work before the camera app fails. As soon as you let it go, camera app will crash. So, all you need to do is tighten the screws. If that doesn't fix it, than replace the camera itself and make sure you tighten all the screws, but do so without stripping them. Best of luck, and hope this resolves your issue.

Randomly, when I use the Camera app and take a picture with the phone, the flash goes on, and then the phone reboots.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Sometimes I can take pictures and video with no problem, and other times it crashes without fail. It's like when the flash goes off, something in the phone gets overloaded and it dies.
Anyone have any idea whats going on?

It happpened me on my first day with the Sensation. At that time the battery was at low levels (<20%). I tried the camera in the morning after an overnite recharge (so at healthy battery level) and there was no crash. In fact last morning I took about 20 pics without any issues! So it might be some kind of protective mechanism at low levels. There are similar threads on other mobiles as well - Saw one for Google Nexus S!
By the way, the camera is really good. The pics turned out quite well.
Me and my wife are also having this same problem. Not sure what is causing it.
I bought the phone yesterday, and it seems that it is resseting itself every 1,5 to 2 minutes and that without even doing anything with it. I have sent (almost) all the reports to HTC, but not sure what would the issue be. I haven't even tried to use camera...
Weirdly my issues have stopped for now. I thought to myself, while troubleshooting this, is "What other app uses the camera?"
I think what the problem was is that I had a program called Visidon AppLock which uses the front facing camera to visually recognize your face (acts like a security measure basically) and an app called Mobile Hidden Camera, you can probably guess what that's used for
After disabling both these programs, and giving the phone a reboot, it seems to have fixed the problem.
i'm having a frustrating issue after replacing the screen on my sister's Moto G.
nothing is wrong with the new screen, everything is in good working condition there. however, neither the proximity sensor, ambient light sensor or accelerometer are working anymore. i don't understand why because as far as i can tell those components are attached to the motherboard and shouldn't have been affected by the replacement of the screen module. also, the front facing camera is not working either but that's my fault. when i put the phone back together i accidentally broke off that tiny lever you have to flip up to remove the camera in the first place. i guess the camera can't plug back in properly without it. so then i wonder if the missing front camera could be causing the other component issues?? that doesn't sound right to me but i thought i should mention it anyway. i have no idea how i'm going to fix the broken lever without replacing the whole motherboard...the screen alone was already $60. ugh
so my question would be does anyone know why these parts aren't working anymore, and how could i fix them? none of them destroy the phone's core functionality but i would like to get them working. i don't own an Android phone and i'm not really familiar with the OS, would a factory reset maybe get things working?
my One S started to cut all audio randomly. it happens when i am talking on the phone (i have a suspicion that it's related to the way i put pressure on the phone's body, especially the bottom part, while holding it). it's usually preceded by a sharp/loud chirping noise, after which the speaker and the microphone stop working completely (the call is still on-going, but the other party cannot hear me, and i cannot hear the other party). at first, after rebooting the phone twice, it would go back to its normal mode and would function properly for a while, but now, it refuses to play any sort of audio signal at all. (for example, the YouTube app refuses to play videos, telling me that something is wrong, whereas Slacker radio refuses to broadcast any station, telling me something along the lines of "audio not functioning properly".)
i have tried wiping cache, and i have not reset the phone to factory settings and wiped all data on it. and it's still completely silent. my guess is that it is hardware related, but i don't know whether there is any solution for it or not. btw, my phone is T-Mobile US-branded, and it is unlocked (using HTCDev) and rooted. otherwise, it was (is) completely stock.
any ideas or tips?
PS: during that period of audio-silence, sometimes the phone becomes super sluggish; for example, if i press Disconnect, it takes a very long time to disconnect the call, or it takes a very long time to update the counter at the top which records the duration of the call. sometimes, the delay is so long that i get an error message "Activity Phone isn't responding", and it asks me whether i want to stop it or wait.
EDIT: i found this thread; someone suggested a little mod to the phone. still, i'd appreciate any help.
anybody?
EDIT_1: i also found this thread. seems like this is not an isolated incident.
EDIT_2: anyhow, i opened my phone (well, just the bottom plastic cover that is held in place by plastic tabs and sticky tape). there was dust along the edges, which i cleaned. and i straightened the connectors from the speaker (housed on the plastic cover) to the motherboard. it seems to have fixed things, but i only tested that for a short while. i will use the phone and report back.

just wanted to update. the issue came back after a week or so, the and phone randomly loses all audio functions. i opened it up again to make sure the speaker connections are fine (they are). to fix it, i have to power the phone off once or twice, and let it be powered-off for about 5 minutes or so, and then the sound comes back.
anybody knows of a real fix for this or should i just retire my One S and buy another phone?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod cm-12.1-20160310-NIGHTLY
Yesterday, I dropped my phone in a river and, it being advertised as waterproof, didn't worry me too much (NOTE: this was the FIRST time I've ever fully submerged my phone in water). After around 5 minutes, I fished it out and it worked fine after I wiped it off. Today, when I woke up, neither of my cameras worked and my flashlight didn't work either. When I try to turn on the flashlight my phone completely crashes and when I try to use the camera, the app crashes. PLEASE help me as I cannot get a new phone until my exam results come ( around July) and I love taking pictures of everything I do.
Try hard reset. It might not be water damage

try a 3rd party camera app ?
Same thing happened to me when I dropped my phone. It was in a case, but unfortunately while the phone was "protected" with a "rugged" case and matte screen filter, the camera stopped working, which means that maybe a cable got disconnected inside, this has nothing to do with water exposure. I haven't tried looking inside to see if it's something that can be fixed easily, though.
EDIT: Moto G3 XT1540, stock rom rooted with Squid kernel. My camera was working just fine beforehand.
EDIT 2: Well, the two cameras are working after reseating their cables, however DO NOT use a metal screw driver to pry off the screen, use a credit card, as I ended up breaking the screen while trying to repair my own device.
EDIT 3: I would suggest not disassembling your Moto G if you don't feel comfortable doing so.
Hi,
I have a problem, my rear camera image ist still vibrating, it seems as if OIS is working over and over. First day a little hit in phone helped for a while, now there is no way to get rid of it. Same problem had my friend, but he just switched to HTC U11, if I don;t find other solution will do the same, but maybe somebody knows this problem and cure for it? Maybe there are some ROM where I could f.e. switch OIS off to check it? Or is there any way to do it on original soft?
Here is sample video: https://vimeo.com/231345072/532871105a
Don't think you can switch off OIS; my understanding was that OIS is to mechanically stabilize a shaking phone. So if you're holding the phone steady, and yet it is showing that vibration maybe there is a glitch in your software. Try a hard reset and cache wipe; if the same issue remains, then only hope maybe to do a warranty return to HTC.
Pity,but no more warranty, had lcd broken and changed it Hard reset doesn't help for long, but for a short while it is ok.
