The camera on my 1 month old HTC Titan X310e has stopped working. When I push the camera button or when I select the camera app, the usual screen pops up for a second and then the camera app immediately quits and goes to the live tile screen. I have tried soft resetting, swapping the sim, 30 second period with no battery, everything but a hard reset. A similar issue has apparently happened to HD7 owners who seem to have traced the issue to a loose camera (reconnecting the camera on the circuit board by pressing hard or by disassembly and repair) but this does not seem to be the case for me. It happened a week ago and I theorized that perhaps there was a corrupt photo already on the phone preventing the camera app from starting (since the camera app is capable of displaying photos), so I deleted the last photo I had taken and it worked. So yesterday when the camera app failed again, I ended up deleting all 25 photos to no avail. Therefore, I am starting to think that the corrupt jpg theory is flawed. Incidentally, no other app that uses the camera works. Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue? Pity to return a device if there is a fix.
I was going to suggest the HD7 fix but it looks like you have that covered. I would send it back for repair.
I had the same issue. The first couple of times the camera app would show a black screen. I rebooted it and it worked for a couple more pictures. Then the camera app would open and immediately close. I tried everything including a factory reset. No luck.
I was within 30 days so I went to the ATT store and exchanged it for another Titan. I hope this one keeps working. I like the Titan phone but I am rethinking the quality. I had my focus for over a year and it work flawlessly.
Resetting the phone to stock condition did not fix the camera issue so there must have been a hardware failure of some sort which is a surprise since the phone never received even a minor bump. I returned the Titan for a replacement and hope things work out better with this one. To me the HTC Titan together with Mango represent modern high art.
This is my second Rezound (I got this as a replacement from Verizon). Everything has been working fine for the past 2 months, but recently the screen won't turn on at random times. The screen seems to get stuck in the off mode and I have to do a battery pull to get it on again. Everything else is working when this happens, like I can hear people calling and hear emails coming in, but I can't do much without the screen! I noticed that it happens often when I'm in phone calls... the proximity sensor won't work after the first time I hold it to my head, the screen just goes off and then stays off. Sometimes (rarely) the screen will turn on when I press the power button, but then turn off as soon as the screen is touched (which makes me want to break the phone).
I hope this makes sense. Any ideas from anyone or I am on to my third replacement phone? Will they even replace my phone again? I bought it back in December.
They will replace it again, and it does sound like a hardware issue.
Sounds like you need a replacement

happened on my incredible on a few custom roms, and then it happened on my rezound stock not rooted too. it's an HTC issue, probably.
had the exact same problem on my rezound. busted proximity sensor. Verizon replaced it with no hassles.
Thanks for all the input so far people! I'll be getting in touch with Verizon.
I got my new replacement Rezound today and now have a new problem where the phone will not allow data connections. I finally got Verizon to let me switch to a different phone. This will be my first non HTC phone since 2004, starting with the i-mate JAM. I am so glad to be done with the Rezound finally.
damn sounds like u have bad luck with thus phone

I was having this problem consistently too with both GB and ICS when I was using custom kernels. So far, only the 2 most recent 3.0 ICS leak kernels have stabilized the problem to the point where I haven't had a reboot or freeze in a couple weeks.
Hey guys, I've been having a weird issue for the past week now. On Mean Bean 3.09 every phone call I take or make ends up rebooting, usually within a minute of the call going through. Now, I also noticed that my proximity sensor now longer works and the screen remains ON during the calls no matter how close my face is to the sensor/screen (I am not a ghost).
I have tried completely wiping to factory multiple times, and flashing different roms, including basic rooted stock roms. All now have this same issue where my proximity sensor does nothing (screen stays on unless I hit power button during call) and it reboots the phone during all my phone calls. Anyone have any idea what's going on, and suggestions on how to fix? Thanks!
You may want to look at the firmware version you are running.
Just an idea, never had that issue before.
Captain has a very detailed list of them here

I guess at this point it cant hurt.
So, seems it was a hardware failure. Took it into sprint and they had to order a replacement phone, there goes 50 bucks =/
At least its fixed

I've been having a problem with my phone. I recently had the motherboard and screen replaced by HTC. I'm now running MeanBean, and the camera will not start. It started working after I did a factory reset, but it stopped working again now. Is this a hardware issue?
I tried updating to the 4.3 camera apk, but I get the message, "Unable to connect to Camera" when using that application. Is it possible the cable to the camera is loose?
Update again. I took the phone apart and reconnected the ribbon cables for the camera. Maybe they weren't seated correctly. My Void sticker fell off after opening the cover after getting my phone back from repairs. So I had nothing to lose by taking the phone apart... Plus, I don't feel like waiting another month for them to fix it anyway. So I'm glad this worked (for now). I'll try and update in a few weeks if it is or isn't working still.
Well that didn't last long. Once again, can't connect to the camera.
My only suggestion would be to contact HTC. They usually have a warranty period on their work
I was afraid of that, haha. They took so long the first time. I had an EVO 3D I bought for a temp phone, but the service was so terrible on that, I would rather not go back to it for another month.
Sunday I started having issues with my display, and I'm wondering if it is a software or hardware issue. It is on stock 47A software that is rooted with KingRoot. At times, the display will either blank out (black screen, but the backlight is still on) or random vertical stripes on top of the screen. If I toggle the power button to turn the display off, then back on, the lock screen display comes on, and sometimes I can draw my pattern before the issue pops up again, and sometimes I can't. Whenever I'm finally able to get past the lock screen, the app that I was in before is still in the same spot. The only thing that I can think of that may have caused the problem is that Saturday night I left the phone in my truck overnight in 38 degree weather and the battery was completely dead when I got it out the next morning. Any suggestions?
i had a similar problem over the weekend. my screen started acting flaky. when the screen did work, it would fade to black after a few seconds. the digitizer and buttons still worked. my phone would respond to screen unlocks and i was even able to answer a call when the screen wasn't working. also, another problem i had for the last month was that sometimes the camera app would show purple lines all over the screen and they would be captured in the image.
i ended up opening up my phone and disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors for the camera and display. this seems to have fixed my issues. my screen works fine again and my camera isn't showing the purple lines anymore. i've dropped my phone quite a few times, which probably shook some connectors loose. reseating them seems to have done the trick. while my phone was apart, i also baked the motherboard in an oven for 10 minutes at 320 degrees F. maybe this helped, but my guess is that reseating the connectors is what fixed my problems.

I tried reseating the connections over the weekend, but still having issues with it today. I'm hoping to find some time to get TWRP loaded and try a custom ROM to see if the issue is still there.

Have you tried going back to pure stock, no root, no TWRP? Also, did you just flash a custom ROM and the problems started happening? If you haven't flashed recently, and going back to pure stock doesn't cure the issue, I'd say it's a hardware issue.
How old is your phone? Mine is almost 2 years and just after accepting the 49A OTA, my SD card no longer works reliably. I've flashed back to previous stock versions, used various different cards, looked at the motherboard, reseated all connectors and the problem still persists, so mine is definitely a hardware problem.
So, if you go through all the things I did and the screen still acts flakey, then I'd say it's definitely a hardware problem.

I don't have TWRP installed on it. It is on the Verizon 47A stock version, rooted with Kingroot, so it loses root after reboots. I have not made any software changes for a few months. I did leave my phone in my truck overnight the night before this started happening. I think it got down to the 30s or 40s that night, so nothing extreme.

Not sure if that could cause it or not, but I had an issue with a lap top that I left in my trunk overnight and it got into the 30s and the screen had issues after that. That could be the issue. If so, it's definitely a hardware problem and you'll have to replace the touch screen glass and digitizer together.
for me, reseating the connectors only bought me a few more days. i tried opening up my phone again and reseating the connectors once more, but that didn't help. my screen will stay on for a few minutes before having issues. sometimes the image freezes and then slowly fades away. the digitizer still responds to my actions. i just can't see what i'm doing. i guess it's time to upgrade. too bad i missed verizon's black friday deal on the pixel xl. in the meantime, i'm using my old galaxy nexus that i resurrected.

I feel your pain. I was looking at that, but VZW only would give me $40 for my G3 if I traded it in. That still left over $600 to pay for the Pixel.
The only issue with my phone is the SD card slot is bad. Everything else works, so I can live with this phone for as long as it will last. Once it dies, not sure what to do next.

I have 3 G3s on my plan that I upgraded on black Friday with a Moto Z Droid, Moto Z Droid Force, and a Pixel XL for me. While I wait for the Pixel XL to come in, I'm using one of the other G3s. I tried taking the motherboard out of mine to swap with another phone, and the problem followed the motherboard. Unfortunately the other 2 phones weren't rooted, so they are on the 49A software, which I haven't seen how to root.

nicely done. i'd like to upgrade to the pixel xl, if it ever becomes available. hopefully there's some kind of deal when it does. i saw the moto z in the verizon store. the moto mods are interesting.
i think you can downgrade from 49a to 10b and then root and upgrade from there.

I started to try to, but was having trouble, and didn't have time to figure it out. My XL is scheduled to ship on Jan 6th. I think if you order it now, the scheduled ship date is 1/13.
