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.

Yeah that didn't work haha Worth a shot though.
I think ill have to get a new camera for it
Does anyone know where I could source a cheap replacement camera. For the Evo 3D?

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

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.

Cool so our phone will have this feature like the One S if we ever get sense 4.0 running
Our phone already got this feature. Actually, when i was back in Sensation we were using a ported camera from amaze to get the burst and panorama feature. to take burst shos, go select it as the shooting mode
What i like about the One S camera is taking picture while recording a video

Yeah, downloaded it already and it looks pretty slick. Don't think I'm gonna use it; but just keeping the app though.
The focus seems off though if I move the phone around while taking the picture...

True. This app functions but its not nearly up to the same quality as the one Ss burst mode. The one S can burst up to 99 shots with hardly any delay between shots at all. This app has substantially more delay than the one S burst mode, but its still pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see if anyone ports the one S camera over to the amaze the way they did the sensation.

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

Yup very nice feature indeed i found that out when i was trying to figure out what imagesense was awhile ago lol
I've always thought the color was a bit off with the camera. Hdr mode seems to fix that.

I have trouble holding the phone still enough for HDR to work properly
From time to time I have the same problem. However, to stabilize my phones image, I usually avoid pushing the dedicated camera button and choose the on-screen button, it helps me at times.

I really hope we get a proper focus option for the two-stage camera button. It would be really nice.
Yeah LS, I completely agree. I'm not sure the purpose of the "soft press" right now honestly.

Dude I cannot figure that out either. It does nothing as far as I can tell.
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.

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.
