I bought mine in Amazon. The problem is when I tried to reach the customer service it wont go thru because maybe My place is not recognized. im from Saipan, Northen Marianas Island. eventhough were under US territories but still not recognized. Last 2 years, i had a problem with my Pixel 1 but able to replace it because there's chat aside from the phone

Have you tired chatting with customer service. You can go to help in settings and there should be a chat button.

It seems a lot of users have experienced it so far: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/4244999?hl=en
Anyhow, mine can focus well enough photo mode, but video recording is just crap because of the shaking image, and the camera produces a clicking noise while trying to keep focus.
Issue has been around since the May update, as people say in the comments there.
May Security Patch: "Fixed 2 second video stuttering at the beginning of recording"
June Security Patch: "Fixes an issue causing the camera to crash during video recording"
+ Google Camera update in May.
So they have certainly made some changes in the camera, but the software origin is not confirmed .

My phone does this now too - it sucks.
Google wont RMA because I have an unrelated scratch on my screen - they say that my phone would be available for warranty if i first get the screen repaired at the cost of £250.
Can a company really deny warranty due to unrelated aesthetic damage alone? It doesn't seem fair.
Has anyone had any joy fixing the problem by replacing the camera module? Its only £15 (and about 2 hours work!)

Why do they know you have a scratch?

Same problem here, not so much the autofocus but the camera making clicking sounds and the image jittering... Am gonna see what the store says...
Update: went to the store and found oit that i have to unroot and lock the bootloader again in order to send it in, because they can refuse to replace it if somebody tampered with the the system files.
Does anybody know how to do that? Mine is unrooted, but the bootloader is still unlocked...

Update: No chance for a replacement or repair, because I have a cracked screen. It's not Google but the service partner of the shop I bought it from, who refuses to fix it. The guy told me to not send it in, since I would only end up having to pay to get my phone back.
That's really frustrating. Has anyone tried downgrading to before the May update?

Rubbish isn't it - weird that they say if the screen was fixed then they would fix the camera - why not just replace the camera and leave the screen as it it?

Because they can...
Also talked to Google Support. They either fix both the screen and the camera, or nothing at all. So if I wanted to claim my warranty, I would have to pay for a display-replacement first. And, I would have to cross the border from Switzerland to Germany to even send the phone in
This is really frustrating.
My goal is to try and fix the problem on my own by replacing the camera module, once I'll replace the display and battery (maybe in 1-2 years). Until then I'm stuck with a phone that's basically useless for video shooting (my workaround is to lock the Autofocus, before I start filming).

I've been running the Jan 2019 build of Bootleggers ROM until two weeks ago and did not do any update in that time (except updates from the Play Store). The problem occured for me anyway a few months ago. It could be related to an update of the camera app but I guess it is a hardware problem. After upgrading to a recent custom ROM the problem persists. Google should acknowledge the problem and repair faulty units regardless cracked screens or any unrelated damage.

I had a similar problem with my Pixel 3's camera recently. My camera's focus wouldn't work anymore at all. I sent it in for repair and got a new device.

Had the same issue with my Pixel 3 a few weeks ago, running on DirtyUnicorn Rom.
I cracked my display due to some bad handling and decided to repair it by myself.
During the display repair i also replaced the main camera module by a new one (from a online auction platform).
And now camera works fine without focus being stuttering.
Only thing was that i also upgraded to Havoc ROM (Android 10) at straight after the hardware repair, so theoreticalli it could also be a software issue but i'm quite sure that the camera module had a defect.

I did the same thing and it solved my problem. Camera modules are about 15$ and the process is not very hard, once you've succeeded opening the phone. It just takes some time and the right tools
Here's a step by step guide.

Problem with HTC HD7 Camera

Hello
Now i am going to return my HTC HD7 phone and change it for a new one.
Why?
The camera wont turn on neither on the camera button neither in the menu.
Here is the film, what it actually does.
I understand that i am not allone with this camera issue.
So far there is no solution for this problem so in this case there is only return and get a new one option.

Camera Issue Solution
I had the same problem with my HTC HD7 and have found a possible solution. I simply took the battery out and my SIM card, let it sit for about 1 minute. Put the SIM card back in and the battery then turned the phone back on. It fixed my camera issue.
I am not saying this will fix the issue permanently but it worked for me, I havent had any issues with the camera thus far.
Yet another reason to stop buying HTCs phones IMO.
HTC = High Tech Crap!
Wow, two imbeciles come in here and spread BS instead of answering and helping OP.
OP, I've never had that problem nor have I heard of it, so it's most definitely specific to your device so using the manufacturers warranty and getting a replacement is definitely the best solution, although nando's workaround might work...or a hard reset if it's a glitch.

AFAIK Its a windows phone issue, It has nothing to do with htc, HD7 or whatever.
It happens to zune, and marketplace too, and It only takes a simple reboot to solve it.
Still, if you believe its an hd7 issue, you shouldnt be asking it here. This is a windows-phone 7 forum, and device-related problems should be asked in their respective forums.
I have fixed this problem by myself, its an hardware problem. Nobody helped about the solution even HTC engineers. I can send the solution photos. [email protected] (Antalya/TURKEY)
The same problem
Nobody can help me with It? I have the ecxatly same problem...
As stated already, You might get better help with HD7 issues if you post in the HD7 specific forum, and it might help to keep the device trolls at bay...

I tried two ways of succesfully fixing this:
-3 times hard resetting
-3times soft resetting
Both did the trick for me, but for obvious reasons I now always soft reset 3 times whenever this occurs.
(Hasn't happened since NoDo tho..)
(sorry for my bad english)..
I do have a same problem. I am from indonesia, already told the shop which i bought this phone. They cant give me any replacement, only said, under repair or somekind of service.
Actually i rarely use handphone camera, but under this situation, felt weird. Any one has solution? please share..
It's a hardware issue with certain batch of the HTC HD7. I suggest you take your phone in for a replacement.
But they wont replace for a new one, i just bought it 3 weeks ago. The said they will repair it or under service. What a shame..
My buddy's HD7 had the same problem but seemed to go away with NODO. Is your phone all updated?

Hi there
I had the same issue with my HD7. O2 serviced it for me and it worked for another few months. Today the camera wont load again. I would say it is a software issue rather that hardware issue as I remember when it happened before soft reset and then hard reset could fix the issue till it completely stopped.
I need to take it again to the service.
it's remind me my desire phone ( android ) i had the same problem after clockword and cooked rom install. i just updated the phone radio and all was ok.
I know it's not the same plateform but i hope it can help maby try to update software.

HTC HD7 Camera Dead
Hi all,
I have the same problem - just went to use the camera on day and no response. Pressing the camera button or intiating from within the software just results in the menu scrolling away (as though the camera is starting) and then scrolling back.
I've tried pulling the battery and sim - no luck.
Unfortunately my location means I can't send it back for repair with it costing $$$s and taking over a month.
Only had the phone a couple of months - not very happy.
There seems to be a lot of people writing about this exact issue on the HTC forums so I can only assume it is indeed a hardware fault in a batch of the HD7s rather than a software issue.

[Q] Need help with Camera issue

OK so I tired hard reboot and the camera is still stuck on posterize mode. Now, I go to research getting AT&T to fix it and they won't because the outside of the phone has a ding from the first week I got it (before having a case) and they void your warranty exchange if there is any physical damage!
Any suggestions on fixing this one? How do I even find somewhere that could fix it?
I am not going to pay $500+ for a refurb phone that is only warranteed for 90days from AT&T when this one is barely that old and the camera doesn't work...grr.
That sounds more like software rather than hardware related, so...
I don't know if you've tried it, or if it'll work, but try going to manage applications in settings and clearing data for the camera app.
That's helped me with other apps that get stuck on stupid every so often.

Thanks, the clear data didn't work either.
I got a hold of HTC and it will be headed in to them in Texas to repair in the near future. Just have to find my spare phone (non smartphone how am I going to survive!) so I have something for the next 2 weeks.
My only other option is to try the AT&T repair center at my parents in FL when we visit this weekend (there are none in our state) but I would probably run into the same situation of having to leave it behind...

Have you tried a different camera app? I like MIUI camera if you're running an AOSP ROM (can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984279 and other places), but there are others available in Market (just search "Camera"), too, to at least be able to test
I guess I should have mentioned I tried that too!
I tried Camera360 Free and FXCamera from the market and it still came up screwy. Looks OK in Sepia, Grayscale, and Aqua, but not in anything else.
Magically fixed?!!
OK, so sitting a meeting I was playing with doing some of my settings since the factory reset. I deleted one App I had downloaded cause I didn't want it to re-install when returning from being repaired. Now my camera works correctly!
So, I guess the lesson is DO NOT INSTALL TAG READER for the Lowe's plant tags.
I guess I have to call and cancel the RMA until or if it happens again. Weird!

I can relate.
I downloaded "wave launcher," but never even once started it up.
Started noticing my keyboard lagging, and the space key would vibrate every few pushes. Thought it was something that went haywire with a rom I had flashed just prior.
Turns out it was "wave launcher." I thought you kinda had to run an app at least one initial time for it to install itself as a service. Evidently not.
Glad you got it fixed.

Does your camera freeze up?

i need to know if this a hardware issue or software. every 2 days or so my camera wont start . i close everything running and it just freezes up on me. i have nothing crazy installed jsut root, tibu, chase, android game, flashlight. thats it ! i will click the camera icon ill see the screen shake for a second and just go back to home screenl. also sometimes i click the multi task button and clear everything out when i press home it has to load all my widgets again.. this phone is werid...
i bought it online at radioshak for 50 bucks do you guys think i can get a new one in store or do they deal with online only
I had this happen to me twice in a week of use. I'm wondering if another app is not releasing the camera from it's use. I haven't been killing the camera app after use, so maybe it has an issue being open for long.
Other apps that use the camera I may have had open are Instagram, Facebook, Gallery.

same. its either gallery or instagram, hmmm
i had this issue since i bought the phone. never figured it out. a couple of days ago, the camera just stopped working altogether. it won't start most of the time. when it does start, the image is dark and very distorted. i tried to upgrade from 1.73 to 1.85 and didnt solve the issue. i did a factory reset and it didn't solve the issue. so earlier today, i ended up just exchanging it with a new phone.
Happening to me as we speak!
Made a quick, nasally sounding video.

- Instagram is still able to use the camera.
- If I close them all in multitasking, it doesn't fix it.
- Force stopping Instagram and/or the Camera app doesn't solve it, I have to reboot the phone.
EDIT:
Fast boot is off on my device.

Happens to mine too, about 4 times already. Have to restart the phone to get it to work again. Had the phone for about a month. If the update fixes this and other problems this phone will be perfect.

Try a factory reset. If this doesn't solve the issue, I'd take it back. I've never had any such issues on 1.73, 1.82 or 1.85. I'm inclined to think its either a software issue (like an installed app interfering, as one reply suggested) that a factory reset may clear up, or its a hardware issue.

well, i won't say that your problem was the same as mine but i think mine was definitely a hardware problem. i experienced the problem on 1.73 and 1.85, rooted and unrooted, locked and unlocked, and even after a factory reset. luckily the camera just complete crapped out before my 30-day was up so it was easy to justify the exchange at the at&t store.

Video exactly depicts what happens to me. I will try to open the camera app and it just flashes and kicks me out. I've tried all sorts of things to alleviate the problem but the only solution I've found is restarting the phone. Pretty annoying....
The display HOX at the AT&T store had the same issue. I'm assuming this is software related but who knows
this happened the first week I had the phone. When I updated it to 1.82 the issue went away so I'm assuming it was software

Well if it was a software issue, factory reset is worth a try. However if its something that needs to be fixed in a future update (a bug) then going back to factory shouldn't help. And thats why the OP had another thread about how to update.
Crizthakidd, have you tried other camera apps from google play? I know you said you were going to. How did that go, if you did? Obviously if there's a software issue, even if factory reset doesn't fix it, xda can. That is, root, unlock, install a newer custom rom.
I had this problem on 1.72, and other apps were still ok using the camera. I made a quick video of it happening.

Hardware failure?

My note 3 screen won't auto rotate even if I turn the auto rotate on. Then if I check the sensors status by using app like phone test, I can see all sensors not working. But after a reboot, everything works fine. But after about 1 hour to couple of hours, it fails again (all sensors not working). I am so confused because I thought it's a hardware problem but reset does solve the problem but not for long.
My phone is KNOX tripped so I took it to Samsung service centre in London and they refused to repair it. The thing is they didn't even let me know they wouldn't repair it until I came after couple of days to them to ask how was going on with my phone after I gave them to check several days ago. I am really disappointed with their service.
I have manually flashed latest stock ROM but the problem still exists.
Anything I can do?

That's weird, if it's hardware I don't get why it works for an hour.
You might have to tell them to do a paid repair in this case - as reflashing doesn't fix it.

Yeah that's why I am so confused. It happened since I manually flashed a rom (kitkat) in February. Don't remember the version. I though my phone wouldn't be updated via OTA because mine is rooted. But then couple of days ago when i saw UK just got update via OTA on 11 March then I flashed with that room but still no good.
Have you tried dialing *#0*# ?
Then tap on sensors. Maybe you'll get some additional information that helps to determine your exact problem...

I don't understand why samsung in some country it's look like they don't care of the tripped knox if it's hardware problem. Here my seller tell me sometime it's ok, sometime not so it's better to loose the phone since they offer an insurance replacement then trying to get it repair
If phone was rooted and now has a HW problem in Service Centre cant help you because of KNOX.
You have to find simple Repair service, where they dot care about KNOX, then they can easyly to fix by replacing IC-SENSOR

Too bad to hear that. Now I can confirm it's barometer not working because after a reset, every other sensors are working except barometer. But after a while (half hour to couple of hours), all sensors become not working. I am not sure if it's the barometer causing the problem. I called Samsung customer service last Friday and they said they were going to send me a prepaid envelop so that I can post my phone to them to repair. Still waiting for the envelop.
If they refuse it again, slap them with EU Directive 1999/44/EC. (Last I checked, London was part of the EU.) http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-cont...CRr1xWc3zx8PW!1364417607?uri=CELEX:31999L0044
They are not allowed to refuse a warranty claim unless they can, with clear evidence, proof that your modification to the system caused the defect.
They repaired.
Just an update. This finally got sorted by Samsung service centre. Sent to them last Tuesday and they sent me back today. I am still testing, seems all working. They didn't ask me about rooting or tripped knox. The phone is still knox tripped but anyway they repaired the hardware. They didn't mention what repair they have done.

Ok then..

Camera failed not only on Verizon. Mine just died.

Well yesterday I tried opening my camera app and the phone hung. Then when I killed all the apps I tried opening it again, it said camera failed. I tried resetting the phone and even took it into the Sprint store. The guys at the store said I was the first one that they heard having this problem on Sprint. They replaced the phone there on the spot since I was in the 14 day window. I bought the S5 on release day on the 18th.
Hope this new phone works out. But if this is happening across carriers well...
Anyways the new phone is working ok. See how it is in a week with taking some pics.
Just happened to me on a 3 day old phone. A restart and it's gone. Uninstalled Google Camera which is the only third party cam app I've used. Any more issues and I'm returning the phone and possibly closing this new account. I have horrible service and they're playing stupid games with my account.

Yeah I am on the fence now. I really don't know what to do. If the camera dies again outside the 14 days, I have to wait for the device to get replaced.
