My Evo 3D CDMA (Sprint) rooted screen would be registering random screen press in multiple areas on its own. I ordered a digitizer and replaced it myself. After I put everything back together the phone booted up like normal screen works perfect. Although when I select the camera it shows a black screen and freezes the phone to where the only way to exit the camera is to pull the battery. Sorry if this is in the wrong section it is my first post.
-Thanks
What Rom are you running? Are you S-off

Some ROMs that are still in a buggy state can have issues with the camera. If you are using a custom ROM, that could be your issue, but if its the standard stock ROM, this might just be hardware and then that causing software failure...
I am running ZR3D I believe by Team 420. I'm still S-On also. I don't use the camera very often so i'm not sure if it was like that before i replaced the screen or until afterwards. I found out recently that the front facing camera that would be used for mirror apps for self photos does work after replacing the digitizer.

If I upload the rom I have and post a link can someone check out the rom for me to see if it's just me or not?
I have the same problem after i replaced the digitizer. Did you solved the problem ?

There is a known banding issue while using the rear camera if you have the FFC mod. Read through this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804146
ill give you a quick run down tho so you dont post adn get yelled at.
the reason it is happening is the FFC is always powered so the RFC lacks power, a user cut off the FFC on one of there cameras and the lines went away... that is the proof it was not a grounding issue... but a power issue.
new kernals have been tried and did not help much.
a way to turn off the FFC while the rear is in use failed.
right now it is still being worked on.. i think process is pretty slowed waiting for 2.2 to come out and the hopes that the vibrant plus will help the issue.
and the fringe thing... i have no clue why thats not working. I'm running Macnut R14 and i use fringe with my friend all the time and it works fine with the FFC.
Alright, so first off I've had a few phones which I have rooted and modded to the extreme. Got a great deal on a e3d and came over.
Saw that i had hboot 1.50 and *tear*, however I followed the directions to a T and unlocked the phone, installed recovery, and threw on some well known mods.
MeanROM
CleanROM
Virus ROM
etc etc
Anyway, in all of the ROMs the camera is distorted, and when you try to use 3d it comes out greenish pixelated and crashes. When you take a 2d picture you can't see what you're pointing at, but when you click it takes a picture but well...see attachment.
Now here's what i have tried:
Re-wiped ROMs several times.
Installed Stock Kernals, and every kernel I could find.
Used the Flash app, used adb reboot-bootloader and then booted into recovery to flash roms, and most recently I re-locked the phone and used the RUU updater and Unrooted and installed stock back on phone.
STILL having same problem with camera.
So I'm asking anyone who'd like to help please, because if I can't get it working I'm taking it to sprint hopefully they'll replace it.
I would try running the RUU and see if that will get the camera going.
If it runs on stock then maybe your downloads got goofed up or somethin?
Also I think MeanROM is 2.17 base? (correct me if I'm wrong) but I think you need to update firmware on the phone for stability. The camera could be related. However I also think Virus' ROMs are 2.08, so that almost makes me think that this paragraph could be wrong.

Already tried unrooting and flashing RUU. Still nothing....
Edit: I tried a factory recovery and no dice.
I'm going to try re-rooting and sending the camera file to the phone. Maybe it got corrupted?
Still open to suggestions.
Nope....

Ok so camera is clearly hardware issue. I relocked and factory reset. Camera still didn't work, today I clicked camera to show a friend. I had a twenty and accidently rubbed it on the screen and magically a picture appeared but it was split. I took a picture and boom it works. I'm going to mod it again when I get home, and I'll document the results, need to find out what happened.

It's a software issue. I am going to attempt to flash the kernel again and see if I can get it to work, anyone want to give me some tips?
It looks like I am having precisely the same issue. My camera worked fine until today. I restored a Nand backup of my original stock yesterday, but the camera was working fine after that. It started acting up when my wife called me on Qik Video. Tried restarting the phone numerous times, no dice. Came on XDA to hunt for stock kernels, thinking maybe my kernel got borked in the restore process? I'm truly shocked at just how huge a pain in the rear this phone is in terms of modding. Seems I am constantly having problems with it.

Mine was actually a hardware issue, it was coincidental that the camera stopped working when I changed roms. Anyway, I have a refurbished phone on its way and hoping for hboot 1.4 I doubt it though.....
I rooted my phone about two months ago and didnt have any problems at all. Used HTC's website and loaded cleanrom reborn 1.1 and the kernel that came with it is 2.6.35.13-g277012f
Recently, about a week or two ago, I noticed the camera starting to fail. It occasionally wouldnt load in 2D mode, just give me a black screen. Now, it rarely loads at all. Either the whole screen is black or it brings up the camera app (stock, instagram, fb, all the same) but the part of the screen that would show the picture is black. When I turn it to 3D mode the screen freezes, then flickers, and quickly closes to the home screen and still flickers for about 3 seconds then is fine.
My questions are this, could this be caused due to needing an update, a new ROM or new hardware? Also what do you all recommend as far as the best ROM for taking pictures?
And on an unrelated note, does anyone know a good ROM that supports 4G hotspot instead of it just automatically switching to 3G??
Thanks
As for the camera failing sorry to here that but you can down load the amaze camera from the dev section and they have all different version of it and its for both CDMA and gsm

That sounds like a software issue.. Might be the rom or the kernel.
Are you on ics?

My camera just started acting up also, I went ahead and wiped everything and installed bone stock rom (rooted only) and camera is still messed up.
When I use the main camera it works fine, when I switch to front facing camera - it stays on the main camera and just inverts the image
Is this a hardware or software issue? I am guessing it is the hardware
Let me know what you guys think.

If am S-off would I have to re-root if I tried that?
Yup. Running an ruu removes root. Just don't run the hboot1.5 ruu if your on hboot1.4. It will save you a headache.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I would reflash the rom before ruuing

Nah. Just run the ruu. Make sure your battery is over 85% imo things go a lot smoother.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I really do appreciate the replies, but not sure I am willing to run the RUU and re-root since it is a pretty high likelihood that it is a hardware failure since I went back to completely 100% stock (only rooted) ROM. Torn on getting a replacement and having to deal with the Hboot 1.5 mess just so I can use the face unlock feature in ICS or stick with what I have an no FFC.
I installed cm9 on my atrix 4g, and the only issue that concern me is the video camera. I move it to the sides wile recording and it has a few seconds of lag. Ie, it takes few seconds to catch up with the camera movement. Any one having the same issue? Is there a camera that can be installed to correct this in the atrix 4g? I have searched all over the internet and still have no clues as of this. Thanks in advance...

I dont want to be a ***** but you didn't search enough because this is one of a few well known bugs that cm9/10 due to lack of drivers. Read the op of the rom you installed and follow it for what works for people.
Hi Guys,
I need help. I really appreciate if someone could help me.
Current Evo 4G LTE
Running Rom : Meanbean 2.71
baseband 1.12.11.0809
build 3.15.651.16.cl124461
kernel 3.4.10
HBoot 1.19
Radio 1.12
S ON,Unlocked
TWRP 2.3.1
My touchscreen won't work. Sometimes it's respond, but most of the time it's not respond. I have tried to upgrade TWRP 2.6x to see if i have update the touchpanel driver (but i think i have not update anything, just incase) still doesn't work. I have downgrade the touchpanel in Capt Throwback post, still not working. Is my panel or digitizer borked?
I thought in first place it was software issue, i have uninstall most added app, but not helping (doing it while the touchpanel work, tiba backup, nandroid backup also). but now I can't even flash anything since the touchpanel in TWRP also not responding. Does it related to power? since my batt drain so fast at this time.
Is there a way to flash ROM from fastboot/adb? just to make sure i have clean install, and see if the touchpanel related to software or hardware problem.
Please help. :crying:
You're software is really out of date. Having said that, it would appear that you are still on the older TP driver. If your screen works intermittently, your issue is most likely hardware-related.

I see. It's kindda sad since i love this phone that is why i haven't change to another. Yes it's outdated, since i haven't got time to play with it.
Is it possibly the digitizer?
Yea I am experiencing a similar thing over here mine however, will work fine then the screen recognizes random "ghost" touches and I have to lock then unlock the phone to make it quit. I'm hoping it's just the digitizer.
