My front camera hasn't worked since I switched to ICS. At first I just thought it probably want working yet so I didn't think anything about it. But I've tried quite a few roms now and none of them work. When I try to use the front camera it just switches to the other back 3d camera, this includes face unlock and the camera app.
I'm currently running devils toast .7, everything else works flawlessly. Could this be a kernel issue? I was under the impression roms came with kernel so I've never even tried loading a new one. I rooted and s-offed when it was first available for the 3d.
Thanks

I'm guessing you're CDMA?
But, I haven't had a problem with the front camera with ICS.
What does the mirror app do for you?

Yea I'm on Sprint, CDMA. Every app that tries to access the front camera just uses the other rear camera. It's like the second rear camera thinks it's the front.

Everybody I've seen here that had that issue says it is a hardware issue that was fixed by taking the phone in to Sprint. I've never had that issue myself, but just to make sure it is the ICS ROMs, can you flash back to a GB ROM?
Yea unroot and bring into.sprint

Can we get this ported to the 3d and if we do, will it make the pictures comparable?
I've been trying all day. It installs but the 3D can't be turned off and you can't take a photo. Has HDR and Panorama though
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yes it will make it comparable because camera apps control the quality of the camera.

It's been talked about many times that the reasons our pics aren't as good as they could be is software related . So with my very limited knowledge on the subject I think it would be in the telnet of possibilities.

I have used various telnet implementations over the years, but, "telnet of possibilities" sounds like the best ever.

This would be great if it's even possible. It may help produce better quality photos and obviously it also has the extra options.
but i already added panorama and hdr to the stock htc camera even burst but not sure if that works

I know you can do this by rooting but as of now I do not feel the need to root my phone. Do you know if it's possible to add these options without rooting?

the 4G slide has a much better sensor though
Tried to get this working today by changing permissions and finally got the app to load and show up in the app draw but it kept on force closing.
So I got my ffc yesterday which is a rev2. I installed it and it is looking sweet. However when I try to use it I just get a black screen and the camera app crashes. Searched the forums and the internet and couldn't find the answer. Do I need to download a driver or something?
Thanks guys!

The FFC is working for me on Passion V11.
So I have tested the camera. The rear camera works wonderful but as soon as I switch it to the front it goes black and it shows scn in the top corner. Does anyone else have this issue with their FFC mod? I have tried it on Passion and CM9.

So I tried it again and I agree with you. I looked at the camera again and they had soldered a copper wire from one little circle to one of the connector pins where the camera connects to the phone. And during the process it goes over 4 or so other of the little circles. I wrote into the company I bought the camera from and sent them pictures of it and I will ask them to send me a new one.
Thanks guys for helping me out!

False. I have been using it since it released and is incredible. I'm using the stand alone apk now so I can use both camera apps just in case. You may have to use the lower resolution version though, some people experience crashes using one version in 3D mode. As if 1 of the cameras is smaller than advertised.

The amaze camera is an attempt to port the camera from the htc amaze. It utilizes zero shutter lag to use burst mode, smart shot, and a few more features. However, zero shutter lag has to be enabled in the kernel and rom, which hasn't been done yet. It does offer some interface changes but nothing too major.
The reason I use it is for having no compression on the photos. They probably compressed the pics to save storage space, but we really don't need to worry about that as much as we did on dumb phones. Less or no compression means a sharper image and more accurate color. They also increased the bitrate for video, which is less compression. I also noticed that the white balance was more accurate than the stock camera at the time. But htc fixed that since then (remember green pics? Amaze camera didn't do that).

I think my evo ltes camera might be broken. Does anybody else have trouble getting pics to come out clear. Mine seems out of focus. Im waiting to replace it due to my otterbox screen protector. I dont want to dail in settings everytime i take a picture either. Ive read hundreds of reviews and its suppose to be a very good camera.

Yes and no. I have taken hundreds of pics. Sometimes i hold the button down and take 20 bad pics in a row. Im leaning towards a hardware problem.

I've got this too, after flashing a jelly bean ROM. I'm going to try flashing a different jb ROM and see if the camera improves. And probably go back to ics if it doesn't.

Ports such as cm10, miui, skip, etc do not take good pictures due to pack of proper drivers

I you power off your phone then remove the plastic back cover and clean the camera glass lense. It might have dirt, finger prints/ smudge on to it which causes your phone not to auto-focus when taking pictures.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I took it to sprint and they cleaned it. I also hard reset it 2x. I think it might be back to normal now.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I seem to only have an issue if I zoom in on something. If I don't zoom, they look fine.
Thats because zooming a digital camera does nothing, you're better off just taking a full picture.

If I have just regular stock, I've only had it a week, and I don't know how to root or flash a rom or any of that stuff to a phone. So am I just out of luck, or Is there any way to fix these issues? I see that one person said they did a hardreset x2, but if I haven't done anything to the phone I'm guessing a reset wouldn't help me either?
I'm soooo disappointed, the camera is about 80% of the reason I upgraded to this pone. But my regular evo took better pictures very easily. I really wish I knew how to do all the stuff people talk about on these sites, but I'm just clueless when it comes to that.
If anyone has a suggestions I would be really grateful.

I can tell you guys that, unfortunately, I am 99% sure its a hardware issue...I've researched this relentlessly after I purchased my basically brand spanking new EvoLTE (less than 20 calls on it, but it already had a bad esn, relationship gone bad lol I guess)..I got it off craigslist..guy had the receipt..box, everything and when I ##786#'d it I confirmed everything he was telling me. I checked everything, one by one..speaker, mic, outside speaker, ports, bootloader, powered on off, finally the camera..pics and vids...everything worked perfectly.....I thought, I never thought to check the auto focus. Once I got home with it(I often take pics of text on the computer screen while working) I went to do this and to my shock the camera wouldn't focus in on text..Or anything that was within 4inches of the camera..I did four or five hard resets, searched endlessly for a reason or fix..tried every non stock app camera in the market..Nothing fixed it, and It still does it to this day.
I worked with at least ten EvoLTE's since then, I always check the auto focus on them (lol glutton for punishment I guess) because every one of them works perfectly. Yet you can find lots of people with auto focus issues on the web. I also have updated Roms, on mine (I'm currently back on ICS) nothing effected it, and the ones Ive seen that have worked perfectly were on ICS, JB, custom roms..no rhyme or reason, which is why I have to believe it's some kind of hardware issue with the auto focus on these cameras. Luckily, for me it only effects super up close photos(completely blurred), while any other photo comes out perfectly. I would of all ready replaced it otherwise.
Okay so my phone got water damaged. Everything is still working fine, but the camera. I go into the camera app and it just stalls and then says can't connect to camera or just force closes. I am probably going to just install a new camera myself in the phone. However I was wondering if there was a way I could test the front facing camera rather than the rear one to see if that still works. Is there a possible way to bypass the phone from trying to connect to the main camera when going into the camera app.
Thanks
Try getting it going with Skype? Just a thought. Don't know if It'd work.
