My front camera is HIDDEN! - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

URGENT: I have HTC touch dual. The front camera was working very well days ago. Just a few days it is hidden and did not find it on my mobile. The option of changing camera types from back to front is not found. I really made a soft and a hard reset but no change. The front camera is still hidden. Help me please, Thanks!

Hi medhat, afaik there is no solution for this, it just happens and sometimes your camera will be back and the next day it's hidden again.
Just read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=453321
Greetz,

GOD. I sent to the HTC support and they gave me the upgrade. I did it but the same is the same!!! NO WAY THEN?!!!
Then what is the reason for that?

Hi buddy, maybe this helps,

Problem with the camera?

I have a problem with the camera, meaning that as soon as I open the application I hear a noise (two shots) and if I look at the camera in the meantime, I see that the sensor moves. What can I do?
I have a Litening 1.2!
Thanks

I dont think that is a Problem had that clicking to on other phones its the lens that focuses, clicking 2 times when you aktivate the camera and when you switch
to Video mode,
The problem with the Cam for me is the real bad Focus, its almost imposible to scan barcodes etc. with google googles , etc..
im on newst Cam Firmware !
got 2 with this camera noise and 3 without.
no clue if it's okay ? why different... other lenses ?

Did you update through Samsung apps on your phone?
If not, you might have installed a wrong version that doesn't match up with the cam hardware in your phone.
I'm not sure if this a valid reason, but there are some different cams out there which need different firmware versions

this is mostly because there are at least 3 different cam manufacturers, you can see this clearly because of their different firmware versions (which is of course vendor specific)!

ya, that clicking is part of your problem, it is sitting to far out and can't go back. It shouldn't smack the housing and make clicking noises. I have this issue to, might send it it to be fixed or wait for replacement parts to become available.
Same problem but worst
Me and a buddy of mine both bought the 9100 together of the same shlef. Mine does the clicking sound and his doesn't. But my problem is worst here because it seems that no photo outside of 20cm range comes out in focus.
I am just unable to take a decent photo of anything further than this.
Could a FW fix solve this? how do i know what is my cam mode is? and which FW belongs to it?

I also have issue with the camera: the auto focus is not working at all.
I can't tell if it's after flashing litening 1.2 or if it has always been the case...
I have applyed the samsung camera firmware upgrade.
hmmm...i think when designgears says the clickcklick sound of the camera is a defect, then it is one
i can't really belive in this vendor specific camera moduls for a noise reason... that whould be just to much quaility difference if samsung is doing that ?!

I and 4 of my friends have the phone One with litening Rom1.2 the others all have stock one of them made yesterday the firmware update the other 2 not
and we all have the clicking sound !!
can it be that so many devices have this defective cam,
and non of us coud get a good focus on close distances 10 - 15 cm
I just caled samsung support Austria and they sayd the clicking is normal !
I also have the clicking from the beginning and i havent experienced any Problems. Neither with Barcodes nor with photos. But to be sure someone should test the exact same scenes with 2 devices and post the results.
I dont really remember but i think the clicking just started after the Camera Firmware Update.
I have clicking with camera360 app and no clicking with standard camera .....
Focusses perfect down to 10 cm even when then going to max zoom
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
how can i test if it is focusing good ? which mode and settings ? thx
Clicking sound; no problems.
It looks like the clicking is a symptom
It looks like the clicking is a symptom, and what I think it means is that the lens is not sitting in its right position.
I assume that the further the lens sits from its intended position, the worst the focus will be.
All in all, if the lens sits pretty close to its intended position then the photos will come out good even though you hear clicking.
On the other hand, other people might be less lucky and the lens position will be totally off and so will not be able to take decent photos at all...
This is of course my theorem, not my knowledgeable absolute...
It's funny how the clicking of the camera is ALWAYS an issue with every new phone for some people. Many phones have it (not only the SGS2) and it's normal. Some people might have problems with the camera and the focus, but it has nothing to do with the clicking sound. It's just the camera's initialization.

Problems with autofocus.

Hello everyone,
My first thread here. I wanted to get you guys feedback on a problem I'm having with autofocus on the camera of my Evo 4G LTE. It seems like more than half the time I'm trying to take a picture the autofocus is going crazy and won't focus at all and leaves me with a blurry unfocused screen and he only way to get it to focus is for me to close the camera app and reopen it. I haven't found a way to turn off continuous autofocus. I was wondering if any of you had this problem with the camera or was it just me? If so what workarounds have you tried?
I've tried clearing the camera app data but that really did nothing for me. Any suggests would be nice, thanks!
I do not have this issue. Ive had to fight with it on rare occasion but thats just when it was focusing on something far away when i was trying to get a close up shot. im sure theres a way.

That's funny.. all this time i thought i was the only one having this same problem. Closing and re-launching the app works for me as well. its a bit inconvenient, but it doesnt happen all the time.
This happened to me. Took it to sprint and they gave me a NIB.

Yea happens to me also. Even in video lots of times it will get blurry and never recover ..

Yeah it fixes by closing and reopening but there have been times when I've missed a picture because I had to close the app and reopen it.

NIB means new in box or something else?
I had the same problem with my pre order phone. Returned it to best buy and got a new one with a flickering screen. Lol when I went to best buy I told the guy I was having problems with it he said with what the non focusing camera the flickering screen or the red pictures. That's pretty bad when they already know what the problems are a couple weeks after pre orders went out. I posted a YouTube video with the focus screwing up but I can't post a link to it yet.

If will focus lock if you're holding the camera button in the focus detent. I tested this myself, stuck it close to my keyboard and let it focus, then moved to focus on my TV, and then back to my keyboard and held the button in focus for a second or two while moving back to my TV and it didn't focus when I released the button till I went and pointed it at my keyboard again, then it started focusing again, and it focused on my TV after that.
BTW, what hardware revision is your phone? Mine is 003.
My wife's release date phone had this issue. If you focus on something close it wont refocus at any other focus length. I ended up returning it for a NIB one and never saw the issue again.
No it didn't matter what you did once it locked in it wouldn't auto focus at all unless you backed out and then back in. I don't know what rev it was since it was taken back to best buy about a week after I got it. I even tried other camera apps and it did the same thing. Even the autofocus clicking sound was a substantial popping sound. It was louder than the phone I have now.

Also i Just tested the holding down the detent to hold the focus. It didn't work for me as soon as I moved it refocused.

I just tap on the screen to refocus if I have a problem (area I want in focus).
Seems like the focus works half the time, the other half it just sits there blurry and won't focus no matter if I try click on the screen somewhere or take a picture. The only way I've been getting it to focus is by reopening the camera app and sometimes even that doesn't work. I think I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

do you have TEP? or should this be covered by the 1 year warranty?

I bought the phone on July 1st from Best Buy and it's still under the 30day warranty.
Would you guys characterize the issue like this to some extent?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710876
I went and traded in my old one today. Thankfully it went smoothly and I got one without the update! So far the autofocus on this one works perfectly. Will keep you all updated.
good luck ^
I'm considering taking mine into a Sprint store to have them look at it. I dont have TEP, I'm outside of my 30 day window, rooted, and S-Off.
I wonder if they're going to give me a hard time.

Camera Error! Help!

Hi..

Hi again, i read elsewhere to remove the ext sd and format ur internal sd. Did that but still getting the errorcallback message and black screen. must be a hardware issue unless anyone else knows a fix. dont really want to be without my s3 for a week but i cant do without me camera
It's a hardware problem. Fixed mine by a few hard taps on the glass of the rear camera with my finger. Probably a sticky shutter..

You can flash updated firmware for your camera (be careful). Search a bit and save, roms have nothing to do with it.

Camera problem

Hello,
it's about 2 months since I've had this problem with my camera. To be honest my phone falls alot but rly didn't ahve any problems with it so far. Until this problem occured. I had omega 44 when this suddenly appeard on my back camera. These vertical lines just appeared and when it's darer it's easier to notice them. My front camera works normally and I don't have any problems with it. I've thought about ordering new camera from the ebay but I just want to be sure that it's rly hardware problem. Now I'm on this new omega 8.1 version and this problem still persists.
Does anyone knows what is the most probable problem here? It would help me a lot in making my decision here.
Thanks

obviously the problem is with your camera hardware. get it replaced from service center.
Ok thanks. I think they'll charge me to much for that simple replacement. I want to change it by myself but I saw there are a lot of cameras on the ebay and I'm not sure which one to order. Don't know if there are different editions of cameras for s3, or some kind of regional key so if someone knows what should I look for I'd be grateful. Thank you
Sent from the outer space
try using camera apps like camera jb+ if the proble stills maybe it s the hardware
I've tried using many other softwares and the problem is still there. I'll be ordering new camera, it's jut that i'm not sure if there is some kind of regional lock or version of camera. Just don't want to give money for a wrong camera

[Q] Camera doesn´t work after assembling the phone. How can I fix it?

Good night, i hope you can help me. I just get nervous after disassembling the phone, I tell you.
I disassembled the phone to try to fix the front camera because of the fuzzy photos, when I saw that I could not do much (I released the first 7 screws and the other 2 black). I have releasd the front camera connector and nothing more. Then I placed the screws and when restarting the phone, the camera screen appears all black and stays dumb phone. What happened? How I can fix it? Everything works except that.
Let's see if anyone knows how to fix it. Regards.
PD: I have a custom rom: Neat Rom Lite 4.0.3 with Siyah Kernel.

I have installed de Stock Rom, and it still doesn´t work, maybe if I install another kernel... The last choice, it´s buying a camera and change, but it´s very rare that the camera was broken opening the phone.
Have you tried the service manuals ? They've been posted here at various times over the past two years (a Google or XDA search should yield what you need). There should be a rundown (w/pics) of how to change the camera, perhaps you missed something somewhere ?

I have downloaded the service manuals, but all I had done was correct. The first time, i only released the 7 screws of the back, and then the 2 black screws from the mainboard. I moved a little the mainboard, I blew a little bit and then i put everything back. It´s so rare.
Thanks for your help
