Seeing as the HD has no flash, Apple have a neat trick on the webcam Apple LCD home screens when you take a photo of yourself the LCD goes full bright and goes all white for a split second whilst it takes the photo. This acts as a flash substitute.
Could a similar utilisation be found or made for the HD, perhaps a script which can turn up the brightness on screen, white out your screen and then activate shutter release then return settings to normal. This would obviously only help you if your using self camera - rather than the 5megapixel camera.
Might be a useful too though, if there is a way to activate the camera outside of the normal HTC tool for doing so.
This trick could also be applied to other self facing camera types.
So i got this beautiful machine today and ive had a few problems on it. So far the camera has messed up on me twice. I was taking a picture of someone with the rear camera and it just froze. I clicked home and then force stopped the camera application from settings and then tried to go to the camera and it said camerancouldnt connect. Had to restart. Then i took some pics and videos front facing and rear. Now when I go to the camera app it stuck on the front facing camera, no matter which camera I try to use. Also i work at Bestbuy and when. We were trying to set up the demo device we connected it to an HD screen via hdmi obviously and i tried playing a youtube video in HD. Kept saying tap to refresh so I tapped and then all of a sudden it just hard crashed. I had to just turn it back on. Also right now just trying to watch HD youtube keeps telling me to tap to refresh. Not sureif thats just me and my internet cnnnection but yeah. Just wanted to put these out there. Remember still an early version but I do not think google should have removed the beta tag on this OS
I'm having a big problem with the camera app.
It appears that when I open, the camera automatically starts and tries to take pictures (by focusing) and then going black, and then coming back up to the camera viewfinder screen, then black, then viewfinder, then black, etc forever. It's as if the camera app opens, closes, opens, closes, again and again.
Both the rear and front camera have this problem...
The camera app used to work just fine.
When I try to use Google Goggles, it lags the camera terribly, and that's when it started (after using Goggles today). I uninstalled Goggles, but the camera is still messed up.
I use the camera in other apps just fine, like the Yelp Monocle, Camcorder and Qik, and they are still working fine, even if the camera app is broken.
I have tried Clear Data from the camera app, rebooting, battery pulling. I'm on my last resort, factory reset!
can we get some info about your phone... rooted? rom? ect...
Bone stock.
well with that note i dont have a clue... the first time i turned my phone on i rooted it and never looked back!
i would power off, and volume down and power to get to h boot and factory reset...
So apparently the problem has to do with Geo-tagging, or anytime the GPS is in use with the camera in a picture taking capability.
I have turned geo-tagging off and the camera app is seeming to work...
i am glad you figured it out bro! sorry i wasnt any more help though...
just flashed the gingersense rom and omfg this is NICE, just sayin... maybe you might want to come to the DARK SIDE and root, lol
So when I first installed it both cameras worked, and I could switch between. I perhaps recall an update, and now switching to the rear camera just results in a black screen.
Anybody else?
I found the back camera only works after I have gone full screen,
hey
i got the OnePlus 8 pro IN2020 model
and suddenly my rear camera stopped working and when i opened it, it shows just white screen.
my front camera works fine and my zoom camera sometimes working and sometimes showing the same white screen.
my main camera and ultra zoom dont work for a week.
what can cause this? the phone never fell or got damaged.
I had this on a custom ROM but not stock.
Clear data from the camera, switch between all lenses, if that fails then back up and wipe your phone and start over.
Personally I'd MSM (again you will need to back up)
