A good amount of the time when I go to access the camera it loads the camera app and for a split second it shows a black screen and jumps right back to the home page. Sometimes resetting the phone will fix this but often a reset doesn't help. Is anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?
Thanks
sounds like a bad camera . I would take the unit in for warranty.

Hi Guys,
Twice now, when I went to use the camera the display was distored as though I had applied effects or incorrect gamma settings. This fixes itself when left alone but this is unrealiable.
Has anyone else had this issue? and if so is there a fix or is this a warranty issue?
Many thanks
Howard
Camera picture distortion
Only for a few seconds- or maybe just a second or so, it apperears as if the camera software is a bit slow adjusting gain when the application first loads.

I wish, unfortunately, this lasts for days. Everytime I use the camera app it's the same.
Do you know of a way to completly reinitialise the camera?

Hard reset your device by pushing on/off button (top left) and pinching the softreset at the same time
I have a problem with my IMate JASJAM. The camera app sometime behave weird and shows scrambled. After several reboots, it goes to normal. This has happened several times. I have tried hard reseting but so far no luck. The issues remains.
I am using the latest ROM version for IMATE JASJAM.
Any suggestions?
I have the T-Mobile varioII for only a few days.
The camera screen is displaying a line in the same position of the line just above the battery icon in the today screen. This seems to affect the use of the ok icon and button, in that it won't consistently save the settings. The line does disappear, but as soon as I use any buttons, it comes back.
Soft reset sometimes removes it until it reappears.
Do you have anything similar to this, or anyone comment please?
sorry, can't help there but here's my own camera problem:
After having to send back 3 tytns with screen alignment issues my 4th handset's screen works perfectly however on all 4 units the camera is crashing frequently, or sometimes just taking a blank, grey picture. I obviously want my camera set to best quality: 2m, superfine. When i take a pic where the light is good (mainly outside on a nice day) the tytn just switches to the today screen. If i try to access the camera app I get a "camera in use" error message, if i go to the running apps screen the camera app is not there to close, only solution is a soft reset, take a pic and it happens again.
The only workaround I have found is to set the camera to L, fine quality but i'm not happy with this - why have a 2mp camera that only works when it is dumbed down?
Surely i'm not the only one with this problem as all 4 sets had the same issue.
I'm loathe to send this one back in case the 5th set has the screen issue.
I faced the issue that my camera screen show scramble. And when I take the picture, the phone returns to the today screen, and when I tried to start the camera again, it gives me an error that the camera is already in use.
My problem of the camera having a line on the screen may not be the screen.
The line is appearing in the captured image. I didn't realise this until I rotated the image. So, it may be the camera/lens at fault.
I had the identical camera fault as described in the original post. Soft resets cleared the screen but the fault re-appeared after activating the camera. I had to pester the network into replacing my 1 mth old voda version. I have to admint the fault only started after I dropped the handset though.
lol well might as well add mine, my zoom doesnt work! Just will not shift from 1x
Schooleydoo, you know there is no zoom at 2 mp. It only works at lower resolutions and in increasing amounts the lower you set it..
Any solutions??
Hi,
Has any of you found the solution to the original problem? My phone's camera shows scrambled screen continuously and doesn't get back to normal.
Any ideas??

I have a scrambled screen too. It started when i was too low with memory, after 3rd warning phone turned off itself 3 times - it never happened before, some of the programms crashed for good, and camera shows camera menu but picture that camera sees is scrambled, so are the pictures taken. When I tried to take a video it showed that I am missing some codecs. After Flashing I can record videos and make pictures, but I get only this results...
:/ .... anybody have an idea?
I don't know what exactly happened... I flashed phone with the same WM6 and installed Webcamera plus v1.051, and TCPMP v 0.72 RC and camera still wasn't working, then suddenly it started to work a day after .. i don't know if it will help anybody, but.... i think that some codecs from those programs in some way overwrited phone codecs...but I am a new, so I may be wrong
So I was using my phone yesterday to take pictures of my computer. I tried on two occasions to touch and zoom in on an area (which worked fine) but as soon as I press the shutter button to take the picture, the phone would make a weird noise (seems to be coming from the lens?) then it just freezes. It eventually took the picture after the reset.
I have to hold my power button to get it to fully reset. Then this morning I noticed that my clock and date were all messed up.. set back to 1970 and time was reset.
Anyone else experienced this before? Nothing else is wrong with the phone but I'm not sure if this would be a software or hardware issue.
Thanks.
Yeah Ive had the camera app lock up a few times. Shutter button does nothing (didnt notice any sounds as I was outdoors), closing the camera app does not fix it, full restart is necesary but my clock worked fine at boot. Ive also had an issue where if you touch to focus and then swipe to see the gallery then the LED flash will stay lit indefinetly, forcing you to go back to the camera app and re-focus.
What rom / kernel are you guys using ?
Not sure if this is related but I've had the camera refuse to take pictures a lot, especially in low light - the camera cannot seem to focus so hitting the shutter button does nothing. I find switching to another mode (video for example) and then back again sometimes cures it. I've also had it lock up and leave the flash on. I'm surprised this got through testing as it seems quite a common issue from other N4 users I've spoken to.

+1 same problems here.

Same issue here too - just received mine 2 days ago and I sometimes need to change the camera to video mode then back to picture mode for it to be able to take pictures again.
Pure vanilla phone here, no custom kernels or any roms of any kind.. hell my phone isn't even rooted.. lol.
I've just started to notice that since I've been trying to take more pics with my phone lately.
And yes I've been seeing issues with the camera not wanting to take shots or focus properly either.
Same issues yesterday i was taking pics of my x-mas tree and gifts, suddenly the camera wouldn't focus anymore, had to restart the camera app, also auto focus is really not functioning too well... It can't seem to lock when focused on a subject...

Same
Same issue....pain in the ASS. SOMEONE HAD TO HAND ME THEIR IPHONE TO TAKE THE PIC. F#CK THAT SH#T!!!!!!!! FIx ASAP!
Whenever I enter camera mode, there will be one black line across the screen. Sometimes it just disappear, but whenever I double click on the screen to focus on the image, the black line will appear. Anyone actually experienced the same problem? Does anyone know how to solve this issue or do I have to go for a exchange for the phone.
Anyway, I tried to restart, shut down and factor data reset my phone but it did not resolved the camera problem.
Sounds like you got a bad phone. Bummer. Mine does not do that.
I've recently purchased a Huwaei Nexus 6P. It's fantastic in every way including the camera... That is of course, when I can get the app to work. I use the camera to take pictures and occasionally video about 5% of the time. The app just hangs on the screen just before the viewfinder appears, and the only way to get the camera working again is to reboot the phone! It's incredibly frustrating, because everything about this phone is flawless! Anyone got any ideas?
you might have to take advantage of the warranty to get a replacement, if it persists, when i open the camera app on my Nexus 6P, i do not get that issue. however, i have only owned mine for less than 1 day. so we shall see....
BTW, i'm curious, does it still do that even if you double tap the power button when screen is off?
I've noticed that it only really does it when I come back from videoing something. It doesn't do it with the double tap the power button also, I don't think it's the handset, just the app I think
Mine acts a little wonky at times too. I tried to reproduce the issue you said you're having and can't get mine to do that, however mine does a few other weird things.
The camera on my phone takes a lot of double photos. I'll snap a pic and look through the photos quick and i'll see 2 of the same pic, but the google photos app only shows 1. If I delete that pic then both disappear from the camera app. I also get some pics that turn out as just a grey screen like the photo doesn't process completely. I've also had a few pics randomly disappear after closing the camera app. I'm really hoping it's just a buggy camera app.
I get the same issue as the op. But mine eventually says "cannot connect to camera" after 10 seconds or so.. Have factory reset a couple of times too..
Also my NFC of pictures from oneplus one doesn't work, 6p goes blank screen whenever I try to send...
Is there a way to take a picture while shooting video? If not, is there an app that you can recommend?
Unfortunately the camera situation is a bit beta-ish
