Today I went to use the front facing camera and the phone froze, rebooted, and now uses the back cam no matter what setting I put it on. It seems like the front cam is nonexistent. I have done a factory reset and still nothing. I dont understand what happend to HTC's quality controll from Hero to EVO. The Hero I had had ZERO issues and now these phones are falling apart right out of the box. Way to go HTC!!!
I might try to flash the stock rom again but dont think this will help.
This Current phone hardware version is 0003
Flashed the Sprint RUU and still no front camera time to trade this POS in
That sucks. Are you going to try to get another EVO? Had you had any previous problems before this?

So you possibly flashed a ROM that broke the front facing camera functionality, see that it doesn't come back when you flash back to stock, and you're blaming HTC for this? Sorry, that just doesn't make sense.
Maybe they should give him first hand support for whatever rom he wants to flash? lol
My front facing camera has not worked from the time I got the phone. My phone is stock. Waiting on a replacement form Best Buy.

The phone was stock, NO root or anything, so YES it is HTC's problem! and aparently I'm not the only person with this issue. Thinking about returning it and waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S Pro
If you are changing ROMs and all that, it's not HTC fault. Whatever ROM you are using has a driver for the front camera that doesn't work. Or maybe doesn't even have the driver for the front camera.
I studied computer science and computer engineering, and I am not rootting my cell now (I'm not saying that you did it). But it amazes me how daring many fellow forum mates are. They are playing with fire. I fried many times a microvax using Ultrix of which I was the SU, and Mr. Miguel de Icaza, the creator of Gnome himself, have to go to my cubicule to rescue me several times.
I'm not rooting my cell until I understand perfectly how it works, where are the processes, what are the processes, etc. They must be the same as Linux ones, but I'm going to check first.
Just flashed a new ROM and noticed there is a line about a little higher than halfway that seems to tear even when I move the screen slightly. Is this a hardware issue or a ROM issue? Never noticed before. Should I unroot and send to sprint? Its really noticable.

What kernel does it show when you go to settings > about phone? That's most likely the cause
Running netarchys universal 4.1.9.1. with myns new twopointtwo rom. It went away now, but was pretty bad at that one point. Seems to come and go.

You may want to find his thread in the dev section and try another version of it. It usually stays on the first page or two.
What about this version is causing this effect? I have ran this kernel before with no problems. Is this for sure a software issue and not a hardware?
It's only when you turn the phone on after a ROM flash, or reboot. Just turn the screen off, and then back on, and it fixes it...

I am having the same problem. I find that different kernels clear it up. I also suspect that on some kernels it happens as the phone heats up.... hmmmm....
Hi,
The day when I got my HD2, the camera hasnt been that good.
Sometimes it takex excellent pictures, but many a times it doesnt.
I upgraded to the stock ROM 2.XX and now running the latest Elegancia ROM.
Sometimes the camera just tries to focus and then just takes what is possible.
But yesterday i compared mine with another HD2 (also with the stock ROM) and the other phone takes amazing pictures.
Could it be a Hardware problem?
One more thing that I have noticed.
usually i do not like to set the Image preview on. But many at times, I hear the click and as I decide that the image is taken, the picture appears to be stuck and later refreshes. Turning the Image Preview On resolves this problem.
Its like as if the camera has become faster and more responsive.
Any clues for the image quality? or the Auto Focus ?
I havent tried the registry tweaks etc,
I tried setting ISO to 100 ,
Flicker to Auto,
Image quality to Normal.
Elgancia rom has camera issues I had a problem where they came out really blurry or the flash and the camera would make everything white. If I was you I would flash it back to t-mobile stock rom and check if it makes a difference if not maybe its your phone.
You more than likely have original release HD2 hardware. What color is your reset button? If it's red then you do indeed have first revision hardware, and the camera not working properly is a known hardware fault, and most of the time T-Mobile will replace your device free of charge because it's a known problem.

You think thats what it is ? I got mine the first day it launch and works fine and then flash it to elegancia rom and came out crappy. I will look for some samples photos of stock and the custom. The reception issue I still have it as well my battery last around 8 hr annoying.
Reply and analysis.
Thank you everyone

Aahh now there is a catch. I am in india, my brother bought this for me from ebay USA. So i guess i will have to live with it. Thank you for this clarification.
Others, please check your phone camera quality. as the other HD2 I have checked has good quality. Otherwise its an amazing phone. It has been the best buy so far.

I dont know that, But I dont think either. My camera issue has been from day one. Elegantia ROM has made my phone faster and more elegant I would say.
But I assure you, I would check back the Stock ROM later and let you know
Meanshile, i would also ask steve about the same.
Or.
Maybe if someone else had this issue and got it fixed ?
Wonder if there is any fix that i can try.
http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-HD2-T85...273194?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255d9bac2a you can replace the camera if you wanna get down and dirty.
went from leaked gingerbread back to syndicate 1.1.0 and now the autorotate doesn't work, only when i open the keyboard. I did all the fixes, it still doesn't work, any idea how to fix it. I've had 3 epics and never had the problem of it not rotating, always slow rotating or something like that, but never no rotating.
Did autorotate get turned off in the Launcher Pro settings?

this is fullyloaded touchwiz and its on.
I wiped data and everything, still doesn't work.
Try this
Did you calibrate the accelerometer first? That might fix it. Mine get kinda wonky after reflashing and especially after using Odin.
i did the calib_yamaha, I calibrated the sensor, nothing did anything, I flashed the gb leak again and it works fine, I flash back to sf 1.1.0 and it doesn't work, so now I'm stuck on the gb leak which is a problem because the phone barely works and keeps dropping calls so I really need to get back to froyo.

Are you referring to rotating the home screen, or any and all apps? I might be mistaken, but I don't think TouchWiz rotates the home screen, at least not without sliding out the keyboard...
Also, I would recommend upgrading to SRF 1.2, it's even better than 1.1

the apps, they don't rotate at all, nothing rotates unless you pop the keyboard out.
This happened to be when I tried a different rom couldn't get it to work for the life of me.
Cleared data, Flashed SR v1.20 and it works now.

so why would 1.20 be any different that 1.1.0? I actually tried to get 1.20 last night, but the website kept coming up that it could not be found.

Well, because 1.2 *is* different than 1.1 - hence the change in version numbers...
Why would you expect the two to be exactly the same? Kind of a silly question
A better question would be, "WHAT is different between the two, that would cause the auto rotate problem in 1.1?"
I don't know that answer, though... I think it may have been tied to the fully loaded version, because I remember experiencing it only once - when I briefly tried fully loaded, before going back to standard

Ok let me clarify my post. Running SR v1.1.1, rotate worked fine. Flashed Revoltion rom, didn't like it, few things didn't work like autorotate.
So I flashed another rom which fixed it, chose SR 1.2 to give it a try. If I flashed v1.1.1 that may have worked also.
so can we get back to the issue, i've tried 1.1.1 and the autorotate doesn't work. it appears to be a froyo issue as it worked fine for months and months and now only gingerbread roms will rotate. could that be because i'm using eh17 modem? i wouldn't think so.

Well, one or many of the changes between 1.1 and 1.2 might have affected rotation as a side effect - whatever caused the glitch in 1.1 must have been changed for a completely unrelated reason, and the glitch disappeared...
I think, from what you've reported, that it had something to do with the extras in the fully loaded version - that used a hacked TW, right? 1.2 doesn't have a fully loaded package that I'm aware of... But try the standard version, or just use the most recent version since it *is* better

It does nut appear to be a froyo issue, because 1.2 is froyo without the issue... In fact, so far the only froyo that appears to have this issue is the fully loaded version of 1.1... Several examples of froyo without the issue vs one with the issue would indicate that froyo is not the problem at all...
Unless I missed the part where you duplicated the issue on several other froyo roms - all I've seen mentioned is SRF 1.1 fully loaded... Have you seen the problem on 1.1 standard edition?
But you are correct about the modem having nothing to do with it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
well you could be right, but i've been using the 1.1 for months and months, longer than any other rom and havent had a problem, and I've run many other roms, never had a problem. only time i've ever seen something like this is since running gingerbread leaks, now they work and the old one doesn't, I've flashed that same rom probably 10 times, never had a problem, gone from bonsai to that one and back again, never a problem so I would doubt the rom would have anything to do with it. I'll try the 1.2 if I can get it downloaded. last night the page wasn't coming up.

settings>display>horizontal calibration> place the phone screen upside down on a ledge but with a bit sticking out so you can touch it (like a dresser or desk or counter etc..>calibrate
its sounds strange but it worked for me
Thanks but I did that still didn't work
Perhaps a full odin back to stock froyo, then reinstall everything from there...
I'm wondering if gingerbread updated something that froyo relied on for sensor data (this is a long shot, falling under the category of "I don't see how they're related, but why not?")
Otherwise, it *almost* sounds like a hardware issue - except that you said it works fine on gingerbread... well, unless GB is using a different sensor reading...

i've only run gb for like 2 weeks, was working fine on froyo, can't understand it. I did download srf 1.2 last night as the site would come up now. so i might play with that this weekend, although the GB is working now and making phone calls without dropping so aside from random reboots its working. kinda makes it hard to sell the thing eventually though if it won't rotate.
well I put on the srf 1.2, autorotate works fine, im perplexed as to why that is since autorotate worked fine for the 6+ months that I ran it and i've never had autorotate stop working on any of the 3 epics i've had and any of the roms. but at least its working now and i have a stable phone.
so iv been running cm7 for a while now and i want to try out the cool new ICS roms. what is the best one with the least problems i can use for my evo?
Ive flashed decks and drews. When i flashed drews i had a bunch of random reboots thats kept happening until this morning when i flashed the new decks alpha 5. I would def say for now its Deck. I did have Drew and Deck running side by side yesterday on me and my coworkers evos. The speed appears to be the exact same. Decks camera seemed to be a little better/less buggy. I got random reboots using drews camera.
I flashed Deck's Rom and love it except that I cannot get the damn GPS to work for Navigation..... other than that and no video I think it is great!!!!
+1 for deck's, the camera has black vertical lines going down the left side of the camera. however, they don't appear in the actual picture.
