So I am facing this weird problem..sometimes when I turn on the came app on my phone...(default HTC one) my camera freezes...YES !! you heard it right...freezes...as in the viewfinder doesnt display the life feed on the screen but instead sticks to the first image that it took when the camera was turned on.
A restart fixes it but I wanna know what is causing it and is there any fix ?

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
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.
Hello,
Anyone having an issue with their camera suddenly not working? Specifically, the camera will suddenly stop responding to the shutter button. I see the button "glowing" when I press it, but the camera will not snap the picture. It does this no matter what setting I choose. Even if I force close the app, it will continue doing the same thing. The solution is to reboot the entire phone to get it working again.
I have another Nexus 4 which I bought for my gf and she had the same exact issue. This was happening all last night (Thanksgiving dinner) trying to take family photos. To make matters worse, the issue first appeared when I handed my phone to my friend who has an iPhone. He immediately laughed on how it could not even do a simple task. lol
I am wondering if it was due to a low light condition and somehow caused a bug as I have been unable to reproduce the issue since this morning on both phones. Even when the flash was manually set to on, you can tap the screen which turns on the flash momentarily; however, when this issue was occuring, the flash LED would remain lit until I manually closed the app.
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.

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...

Hello!
I just bought G900F and i noticed that Autobrightness isnt working correctly, even after factory reset, it does go up when in sunlight but doesnt go back down when i go inside the house, the screen remains at full brightness... until i click autobrightness off and on again or turn screen off for a short while.
Is this normal or what? sensor is working correctly in service menu -> sensors - it goes up and down as it should be. So is this samsung touchwiz problem or "new" feature? :/
Also ive noticed that camera lens sometimes get stuck and i cant get a fix on far objects (like permanent macro mode) :/ when i hit camera lens with my finger it goes normal at instance and i can take picture... i dont know if i should go already for the warranty or wait few days and it will go away on its own :/ also when i shake my phone forward and backwards i hear clicking from camera - loose lens? :/
Damn it i already sold my S4 so i have no phone for temporary use while i send S5 to repair...
Hi, I have the exact same camera focus problem. I can focus on close objects fine but a lot of the time it just doesn't focus at a distance. Is this a software bug or does it need to go back for repair?
