This is SO strange.
The front camera used to work perfectly but now its just disappeared?
I cannot video call either.
It stopped working last week and I flashed to Tom Codons fantastic ROM just now and it's still not showing?

with kaiser sometimes camera wont work if you got a wrong radio, sounds goofy but you can check out the kaiser upgrading section, i could be wrong
Not a goofy reply but I had this problem with the Stock ROM so it's doubtful this would be the issue.
I'm using tom's new WM6.1 ROM.. and both front and back camera works fine.
did you ever solve this? i'm having this same issue now.
Nope. I called Orange and got my Dual replaced! Mines just started doing this again though so I'm about to call Orange. *Siggggh*
...
HMM... seams to be a Hardware failure.
under the sliding mechanism is a cable connected to the front camera...
And this is only placed with a adhesive tape...
hmm and it's not very good placed at all.
Don't know if this information helps.
It is actually. I suspected something like this.
This is my 4th Touch Dual I'm getting in 4 months! The first one suffered from this issue, the second one's slider was faulty from delivery because it was grinding and kept locking and the third one also had camera issues.
4th time lucky?
...
i hope for u^^
hmm but this thing with the sliding issue.. really a hardware failure.
u have no luck with ur nikis ^^

Ack. I'm somewhat still hoping that this is not a hardware failure as I would prefer not to go through the hassle of having to return it and reconfigure and reinstall everything all over again!
Can you try a hard-reset before you turn in your phone for replacement, just to confirm if it really is a hardware problem??
Yes. They ask you to 'master reset' anyway to confirm it is a Hardware problem. But trust me I've been through this before, Hard reset didn't work, changing ROM didn't work, Orange's Magical SIM updates did bugger all as well.
They're exchanging my Touch Dual Later today. I'm getting a bit fed up of this
I had the same problem .... but after smacking the unit around and removing the back cover to perform a reset ... the front camera started working again ...
Strange....
Oppss .. cross that out ... I just reset my device and the front camera is missing again ... dang ... looks like I have to send the unit back for repairs

1-hard reset (still no cam)

I bought a brand new Cingular 8525 Hermes about 11 months ago and everything was working fine, until two weeks ago. I turned the alarm overnight and the next morning there was no sound coming out of my speaker. When I speak with someone I am able to here through the inner speaker, but when the phone rings there is no sound even with all the volume up. I checked every sound setting but still no sound. Not even the media player has sound. I heard it was a system mulfunction. Is there some type of patch that i need to install in order for the sound to come back. Can someone please help? I would really appreciate it.
Thank You
I just started experiencing the same issue. I've had my 8525 for 4 months. Any ideas?
same thing here.. started when i had schaps 4.01, which also gave me screen problems. but ive tried loads of roms, and they all ocme to teh same problem. i have rington sound from the back, and startup animation sound, but no mp3 sound or notifications and even the front speaker doesnt work.

Yes, if it's just the white speaker connection it's a relatively easy fix:

White block connector, top of picture. All you need do is remove rear casing and push connector in:

If it's the rear speaker then that connector is the likely problem. The front speaker needs more dismantling.
PS Remember to line up the camera's macro switch when putting the rear casing back on! Fiddly, but you'll get there in the end.

clean usb port
I had the same problem just a couple days ago. My USB port was making my hermes think it had a headset on. Just clean the USB port good with a alcohol pad and see what happens. If not, then I would get into the phone

Hello all and thanks for reading my thread.
I have searched high and low for this same issue, but found nothing similar anywhere unfortunately.
I have recently noticed that at all times, the screen seems to produce some horizontal lines which flicker often ... I am finding it hard to explain the problem itself, but I have not dropped the phone nor hit it or w/ever.
All I can think of is that I played a lot of this one game on it and it could have affected (overheat?) the GPU or something along those lines...
I am really not sure, but bottom line is that now I see all these issues on the screen, and camera and some games are off limits to use as they look very confusing...
Anyone has any idea what it could be?
G
Could you provide a screenshot?
It does sound like a hardware issue. I would send it for repair. They might even replace it. Maybe you could take a video of it happening.
(I assume you tried uninstalling the game and it didn't solve the problem. If your CPU is being overclocked try resetting it back to normal.)

Are screen issues/hardware issues fully covered by warranty? As I talked to an HTC support dude and all he said was we can book a repair and if it's not covered by warranty we'll send you a quote, £20 if you don't want the repair, if you don't pay either we'll get rid of the phone in 3 months...
So I don't wanna really send it off then find my parents get a £100 bill of which they don't know of :/
Most likely the lines are caused by a malfunctioning LCD. This can happen on its own or by physical abuse. Carrying your phone in your back pocket can cause this. If the phone looks great on the outside (no sign of big nicks from being dropped or warped from carrying it in your pocket) then HTC should find no reason to not fix it under warranty. Sometimes things go bad on their own.
Hey,
thanks everyone for your replies. I tried installing a different ROM (Cyan) on my DHD and it still seems to have the same issue, tried changing the cpu and gpu voltages, playing with temperatures etc, but to no avail..
I guess the LCD did go wrong, so Im sending it to Vodafone (UK) for repair. The only thing is that they will probably send me a refurbished phone if they cant fix it which wouldnt really be my first choice, but oh well! Could be worse I guess...
Thanks again for all the feedback

I just switched from ATT to Verizon and bought a Trophy off Craigslist because I didn't want to use my discount knowing that more WP7 devices should hopefully hit Verizon in the next few months.
The phone I got was almost brand new, lady bought it only a few months ago, but it wasn't even on Nodo!
First thing I did was update the phone to Mango, then set it up.
I had the EXACT same type of problem with my camera as the picture you posted. I went into a Verizon store and they were able to send me a warranty replacement, which works normally now.
My Trophy has similar camera effect - like it's taking too much light from objects and creating so called glow effect, so everything seems blurry, especially indoors...
here are some more pictures its realy bad :/ plese help me what should be the reason ???
Is the camera clean?
yes its clean :S
I suggest restoring stock ROM, if the problem still exists, it's a hardware problem, get it repaired.
Hey primozz3065, I had the exact same problem, and while at the Verizon store, an employee "checked the forums" (not sure what forums) and said he confirmed that other phones have the same problem, so I think it's probably some sort of hardware issue. Unfortunately you mentioned that you opened your phone and voided your warranty, so you might be out of luck.
My trophy its with stock rom 7392 NoDo chevron unlock.
I don't experience this problem on my Trophy . I think that camera lens are dirty for some reason . Try to clean it with computer display cleaning spray - inside and outside (warranty will be avoided if you dissemble the phone )
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!!!
Or send back for repair to your local HTC supplier .They should send the phone to fix the problem .The nearest place to my location is Romania and the time for repair is about one month .
I had the same problem with my trophy...your pictures looks exactly like mine were before.
The camera lens was very dirty. Its hard to get lens clean, but its possible. I've used (my womens nail cleaner).
Just clean it will take some minutes) an the pictures will be good.
sorry 4my bad english ;-)
Sent from my 7 Trophy using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

All WP devices had bad camera. But you may improve by clean camera fresh
Every gyroscope app like cardboard move randomly.
I tried calibration with GPS status and no good result.
I was snowboarding with Zuk on my pocket. But anything important. Only a very little crash.

You're on stock Cyanogen OS. That sounds good. You could solve your problem entering manual testing mode.
Type *#*#1111#*#* then go to Manual Test - G Sensor Calibration, put your phone on a plane surface (plane to all directions!) and press the only existing button with chinese signs. After calibration, press pass and go back to leave Engineer Mode.
I can't repair my Zuk because I replaced recovery and also installed Cyanogenmod, and this code don't work for me.
I hope hear from you good news. And if you have any question here I am.
Good luck.

I don't know exactly but I think come from the factory, I'm sure it never crashed.
my g sensor is way off too, with alot of drift in cardboard apps etc. i entered engineer mode as above and done the calibration, i get this fail message " test failed, please find the soft engineer"
it wont give me the option to press pass.
any idea on how to fix this??????
Just update your phone!
Before the update it didnt work either!
But since I update it to the newest fw, it all worked as it should!
Camera was working fine until yesterday when the rear camera became blurry and would not focus. Both the camera app and apps which use the camera like WhatsApp ) is not focusing. The front camera is fine (great quality).
I have the same issue. Any solutions?
I don't have this issue, but my first guess would be condensation inside the lens? Have you gone swimming or showering with your phone recently? Could be a water resistance issue
Nope no water. Its so random though doesn't happen that often but it concerns me. I went to the Samsung repair centre and was told they are aware of the issue and a software update will fix it
Did you wipe the lense?
Its an OIS problem, shake the phone and it will ok for a short time
big_bosss.. did u ask the Samsung repair center that when is the expected software update for this blurry camera issue? Also, if its a software issue then why it gets fixed after a gentle tap near the camera area? I am trying to reproduce this problem but I cant. It just happens randomly!Anyone knows how to reproduce this problem so I can make a strong case for my warranty. Thanks
Unfortunately no i wasnt able to recreate the blur. Its rare. And they didn't give me any eta for the update just said they acknowledged it. But i have recorded it with my other phone. If it keeps happening often I guess I'll claim my warranty
silly observation, but stupid me did this on my last new phone
is the plastic peel off protector still on it?:cyclops:
tapping on the top end of the phone can reproduce this problem.. just more than a gentle tap and then the camera goes blurry! Fed up...
@big_b0sss.Can you recall where you read that Samsung will do a software update for this? thanks
I also had this on mine and it was sent away for repair (all they did was reflash the firmware). Once i setup the phone again it happen again within 30 minutes. I ended up getting it replaced with a new s8 which does not have the problem.
Mine would happen 2 or 3 times a day and shaking the camera would have it correct itself but was not happy doing that and demanded it replaced.

Any news on this bug ? Can i buy a new S8 or it is better to wait ? lol
I had same issue with the camera. No fix from firmware updates. Local Samsung service center changed motherboard and the camera-module and it's fine now... I had also issues with wifi, so that's why the motherboard was also changed.
Thanks for reply
The new S8 have the same first day hardware or a updated one with this camera module fixed ?

The bug exists in some units not all the s8s. I haven't noticed mine blur after the update. Will still keep an eye out. Also my fone doesn't charge if it's turned off, wouldn't even boot up while plugged in. Only charges while device is on.
Mine has this issue - it's hardware and the only solution is to get it repaired/replaced. Mine was collected today!
