Hi every one,
My Hermes' Front Sensor has got some problems
I use Web Camera to open Front Sensor and i can only see a mass of purple very very unclear image through it.
And the last time i use web camera to check Front Sensor i didn't find such a problem, everything goes well.
If there any bugs in the Front Sensor ?
Thanks !
no one knows....?
bless...

The same thing has happened to me. I have tried it on different roms, including one I know it worked on before, so it must be a hardware issue. Could this be caused by a loose connector or something with a simple fix like that?
I dont want to take my phone apart if theres no chance of fixing it anyway.
Maybe people are confused by the term "Sensor"?
I will assume you meant the Front Camera.
If so, then yes the connector can come loose. It is a simple push on connector, but you do have to dismantle quitefar to get to it.
Have a look here:

Assuming you have been through soft and hard resets, you MIGHT want to attempt dismantling the phone.

Well, I got ss1271 by email and I'm confused (nothing unusual there you may think!!) What he says is this:
Sorry for that I cannot have an access to this xda-developers forum right now, but I'll check it asap.
Well, I mentioned "sensor" which refers to the sensor module that located right of the earphone( a transparent some cube-like stuff), not the front camera.
Whatever, I'm very glad that u could gimme a possible answer, thanks in advance!!

Can anybody think what is being referred to? I know there is a keyboard light sensor, but that seems irrelevant so what is being referred to?
Any ideas?
Mike
Thanks Mike, you were right the first time, it is the front camera. The confusion has come about because Ateksoft refer to it as the front sensor in their webcamera software, and as that and coolcamera are the only software other than video-calling which can use the front camera, that is where both ss1271 and myself discovered the problem.
I have opened my phone up once a while back, but am not in a hurry to do it again until I have a serious need to use the front camera.
I actually used your guides when I opened up my phone before, and will again if I try to solve this before I upgrade, (too poor to at the moment), so thanks for providing them.
Heres a pic of me taken with my front cam.

Actually I kinda like that pic. Almost psychadeli.. what ya ma call it! But does it improve on reality??
Mike
Well you can't tell that I haven't had a shave today, so there are some benefits. I could make it my profile pic, but I rather like hoagy, what do you reckon?
To get back on topic, do you think that it is a loose connector, is this something you have come across before?

Well hoagy looks fine!
The push in connector is the most obvious first thing to check in my view. The trouble is loose connectors can show a host of different scrambled pictures and weird colours and missing lines. Can't recall one that vivid shade before but I've seen bright green
I guess the standard thing is just ensure it's not software by doing a hard reset (but I guess you have done that already)

Hi Mike,jez
First i apologize for my mistaken the Hermes with the Touch Diamond.
When I first got Mike's mail, I took it grant to think that Mike was talking about the Diamond issue...
I'm sorry for you two guys to get confused.
Now I'll clearify that in this thread I was discussing about the FRONT CAMERA of Hermes.
and unfortunately I eventually cannot fix the front camera problem.
Hallo guys! Got myself a 2nd hand Htc hd. I just love the device, great roms.
But i have an issue with my camera. It appears to have 'dirt' on the screen. My Camera unit it self is clean, tried most of the common things. Even with glass cleaner. But the black/grayish marks wont go away. I'm sure it's not my rom or anything like that, as i allrdy changed rom.
Anyone has a clue?
Help
I'm running the stock 2.1 rom but am rooted with the universal 1 click method. I have removed the cellophane from inside the case,but I cannot loose the red tint when trying to take pictures. I have adjusted the ISO to every setting,leaving it at 800,adjusted the brightness level up & down to no avail and cleaned the lens with q-tips. I have the 1 grayed out control which I think is normal for the stock rom
Anyone have any ideas on what is wrong?
Thanks
Mac
Anyone ?
I figured someone else might have this problem ?
Mac
Never heard of root access changing the tint of the camera. Sorry.
Flash a differnt rom maybe ?? anything's worth a shot

He is on official.
Where are you taking the pictures?
Does it have a red tint everywhere you take pictures?
Might sound silly, but when I take a pic in my bedroom, the red curtains and redish rug give all pics a red tint, its fine everywhere else.
i also have the same red tint but it goes away sometimes and comes back its very annoying. Im running no mods or anything just stock roms android 2.1
I'm having a weird color at my HD2 camera.. I'll attach the photo of my HD2 taking picture at something.. does it hardware problem? I've upgraded it to newest official ROM, and even tried SD android build but no luck..
please, I need some help
Looks simular to colours i was getting with mine, I had a mainboard issue i think causing the screen problem like that. I had those colours all the time though. you played with the settings? colour saturation maybe?
nope.. it's just like that.. tried any other setting with no luck..
my friend said it was a camera module error.. and it costs 400K IDR (around USD 40) to fix and replace it..
I have the exact same issue. The color is distorted like that (too much contrast/saturation) no matter if I am in WinMo or Android. I have played around with the settings but cannot get it to look normal. Default settings look like that. And yes I have hard reset several times....
Anyone have any other ideas?
I too have this same issue...I've tried a hard reset and a ROM re-install but the problem still exists...does anyone have a resolution for this issue?
Yes send back to htc for repair.

I have the exact same problem.. is it related to the google goggles app? Because my camera works fine before I tried the app.. (my device is htc desire hd but having the same issue)
It did turn out to be a faulty camera module which was fixed under HTC's 2 year warranty

same with me.. only in my case, it's not covered by warranty, and I fix it for around $50..
i have the same problem. and it was also fine at first and stopped working after google goggles. anyone find a solution besides sending it back?
I have same problem with my phone.Maybe to try another camera app. My phone is currently dissembled so I cant test.
Anyone find solution?
Oke I tested my camera more when m phone is assembled. The closest to normal photos I was getting when I was pressing screen in camera area. I always get same picture as first photo in this post. And when I switch to android Froyo 1.5 system I get pink color when run camera.
So people what do you suggest?
What part should I change?
Whole camera or just this square camera module?
Or any other solution...
Grateful!
Please if anyone know solution for this problem and gives me answer.
What replacement parts do I need? Should I change all camera related part or just this came module (looks like little cube) or maybe flex cable??
So to make a long story short I recently broke the back facing camera on my Note 3. The Lens is cracked and obviously pictures are extremely distorted and purple in color and such. Knowing my usual DIY nature I figured it would cost me about 20 bucks to get buy a new camera and install it myself... Not exactly the case. At this point I have had 2 different replacement cameras and installed them both correctly. Both cameras have resulted in the error message "Warning: Camera Failed" and clearing the Camera data and cache have not helped. Neither has factory resetting the device. I also know it is not a hardware problem because when I reconnect the original camera it opens no problem.
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue or has similar experience or if anyone knows if I can try another replacement camera? Any help is much appreciated because at this point I am out of ideas

Nope how in the hell u do that[emoji45]
Basically i got into an argument on the phone and I slammed the phone on the desk I was at. Hoping to avoid a screen crack I slammed it on the back(With a case on) and the next time i opened the camera it was destroyed

Well, you say you replaced them correctly so the obvious conclusion is the hardware is different.

Thats why I was curious if anyone had personal experience or possibly knew where i could get a definite functional one from?... bump
