Hey XDA's folks!
I have a non rooted ATT H910. The stock camera app can't turn the flash on when i take photo with the narrow lens. I tried the manual mode but it still doesn't work. The flash works fine while on video though, the flashlight also has no problem.
Tried any other camera apps and it works, only the stock apps that wont turn the flash on while im taking picture. This bother me when i use instagram and whatsapp because i cant use the flash too.
Already tried restart, clear data and cache of the stock camera, factory reset and still no solution. Could you help me?
Ok this sucks
I've had this before on my rooted H990. I wish I could remember what I did to fix it, but there was something. I can tell you with confidence, that it isn't a hardware problem. I'll think about it today and get back to you if / when I remember. It wasn't complicated...

Did you flash the new radio? Also, are you turning the Focus mode to Infinity or on Auto? And, download Barcode Scanner and try to scan something, to assure that your hardware is not faulty, this APP autofocus's pretty efficiently. And then you will know if you have a software bug or a hardware fault. If it's software, backup your files, and try to reflash firmware
Hey guys.
I've been using CM7 for about a month now, currently in the 010911 Nightly.
Everthing was fine until this past week, when the camera of my phone started to have strange freezes and lags. Then, one time, it FCed and when I turned it back on, the display was inverted, and colors were all strange and washed off.
I've rebooted, cleaned the data, etc, etc, and nothing fix the issue. Keep in mind that there's nothing with the tilt sensor. It's something software related.
I remember seeing a fix for a similar problem a while back, but I searched this hole forum and couldn't find anything, so, I beg for your help.
Thanks a lot!
Sorry for the bump, guys. But I really need some light with this problems.
Try clearing Camera app data or switch to another nightly.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I already tried both things you suggested, with no luck.
Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but is the boot mode set to 2nd init by default ?!
You can also try using other camera apps like Vignette.

dude, we are on the same boat. Tell me when u find a solution.
A temporary fix which i m not sure till when its gonna last but is working for the moment.
open camera, leave it opened and pull the battery. put the battery again after 2 mins and see if it helps you. Its working for me at the moment but dont know the logic behind the process.
I already got my camera hardware replaced but this problem happened again just after rooting the phone.
I have the same problem and I'm almost sure it is a hardware failure. Maybe after a shock or drop. I'll open my unit this week and see what's wrong. Did some of you manage to fix it?
I've even tried flashing full stock sbf without success, so I'd blame the camera module.
I have a Samsung Epic 4G, I got it in March of 2011. About 6 months ago the camera started acting up. It would work once (take one picture), then the next time I took a picture or opened the app it would say there was a error with com.android.camera. I could restart the phone and the camera would work again, but break after one use.
I took it to the Sprint store, they did a quick test and said it was not the hardware (I think he tested the wiring)
I did a factory reset, it worked for a day then went back to the same pattern
Then I installed CM7, the camera worked for a day then it completely stopped working (the app wouldn't load).
I installed other camera applications. Retro camera worked some of the time (one shot then break). I think "Fun Camera" loaded, and I could use the front facing camera but the main camera was dark.
I added the camera.zip and camerafirmware.zip to the system/app folder, but couldn't install them (after changing the ext to .apk).

I feel like I'm running out of options, so I wanted to post this up on XDA and see if anyone else has had issues like this, and see what additional steps I could take to fix the camera. I don't know too much about Android but I think I'm tech savvy enough to try anything with the right links to tutorials. Thanks all.
Have you tried going back to stock el30?
See if it works on stock if it continues to force close... take it back to sprint and show them, and they usually give you a replacement if of course it still force closes, and you have TEP you could get one for 35$ I think.

For stock el30

Have you ever updated your camera firmware (from BML Stock?), I know that this has benefited me in the past..........however, once you are on CM9, it' a new camera from ICS .......sounds like your issue follows your firmware.........Not a fix, but have you considered a 3rd party camera app?

Thanks guys. I factory reset my phone before and it still had the issue, I will definitely keep the Samsung warranty as a backup (don't want to send in my phone if I dont have to).
How do I update the camera firmware? I've tried other cameras, retro camera works but only sort of, another camera app works for the front facing cam but not the main rear facing one.

Factory Reset?.......you mean at the sprint store?...........or do you mean you did a factory reset, wiping your data (but leaving your firmware + bad camera untouched)............you can re-install a fresh version of your firmware w/out voiding your warranty, from the sprint website..........or else, as stated above, take your device to the store + let them do it...........that said, camera ZOOM FX has a dandy of a camera that you can DL from the market...........if it works, one more clue where your problem is coming from.

Nevermind, it seems like the camerafirmware.apk file did work (or something else did...). While the camera app didnt install, after I put the camerafirmware.apk file into the system/app folder 3rd party cameras started working again. Anyways, I hope this thread could be a useful reference for others who have this issue. Thanks.

1. Redownload cm7
2. Wipe data /factory reset
3. Flash the cm7 you just downloaded
4. Reboot
Everything should work fine now.

Hello guys,
I don't know exactly when this started, but when i take pictures with the flash on, all of my pictures turn out black. I want to say it was with the 4.3 update, so i'm going back to 4.2.2 to find out. Has anyone ran into this? if you did, what did you do to fix it? i searched XDA and google, but i couldn't find anything about this issue, just people saying that the phones camera sucks.

Try this,
Before taking pictures touch on the focus(circle on the screen) and then take the pictures. :good:
If rooted you can try some different ROM.
So my phone was starting to lag, and had some bad battery drain issues so I did a factory reset to try and help it out. Now when I try to switch lenses in the camera app to the wider one, it freezes the app, and won't even open up. I have to go in and clear the app data to be able to use it again. Anyone have this issue?

I should mention that I am stock, and unrooted. I could do another wipe.

do a root with kingroot
and unlock bootloader with adb
Kind of sucks this appears to be the only way to fix the camera.
So now I can switch between the lenses, but for some reason the frontfacing camera doesn't work. Also I didn't do anything.
