Hello All,
This is a problem that I faced with my HTC one. And was able to solve it too.
All of a sudden, when I start my camera, it is stuck with the first picture it captures. It does not update as I move the camera. But this works fine if I change it to video mode. When I opened the camera, It said "something went wrong" (don't remember exactly)
I had shut down and then switched on my HTC One. Still it was not working.
SOLUTION::
Finally restarting the mobile worked. Yes, RESTARTING is different from shutting down and then starting.
So guys, keep this in mind.

Got a sweet Red one yesterday. Camera wasn't launching right from the get go, restarted it, camera worked for a bit then it crapped out again. Did a master reset this morning and the camera was working.... But then it stopped. It will not launch. It try's then goes back to the home screen.
Any known threads that address this problem? Or maybe a fix...

Well... No one responded so bump..
Update: The camers randomly starts working after I have connected it to a computer and added music... not a fix but yea.
My brothers phone had the same problem, I reset the phone by holding the power and volume down button and it works fine now.
Hello,
My camera suddenly stopped working :[
I have cm11, and when I try to launch the app, it says "can't connect to the camera".
I tried rebooting, tried to factory restore, tried different apps, still nothing :|
Is there way to check that the camera is connected? maybe for some reason it disconnected
from the motherboard?
Flash stock firmware and factory reset, if still the same then reconnect/replace the camera module. I replaced mine recently, it took me 10 minutes and cost £5.
So after everything else didn't work,
decided to take apart the phone.
Turned out that the camera was disconnected as I thought,
Have no Idea how that happened, the phone did fall few days ago,
not that hard though...
Anyway works now, just the resolution settings for the back cam are the same
as for the front one... max resolution is 1.9mp :\
Will try to flash again...
About 2 weeks ago my camera stopped working for 24 hours, when I tried opening the app and any app that used camera I got a message saying it stopped working. I tried all the tips to get it working again. Not sure what worked or what happened but after 24hrs the app would open up and allow me to take photos just fine, but then there were dots or something all over the lens. It's not dirt and I've tried all the tips again but nothing works. Camera won't focus past them and it's on all apps that use camera, front camera is fine. I'm don't know what happened. One day it was fine and the next it's stuffed. My phone wasn't dropped and I don't remember it overheating g. I did use Skype the day it went weird but I was using front camera, could that still be the cause
Help???
I tried adding a photo but couldn't. Maybe in comments.
I got my Blackview BV6000 two weeks ago and everything was working just fine, until after a week I think, camera started to present the message "Can't connect to the camera". After closing and opening it a few times it eventually worked as it was supposed to. It annoyed me a lot so I wrote on official Blackview forum about this problem. Admin replied that I should try factory reset. I did, and I regret it. After opening the camera application works normally, until I tap the screen anywhere. As long as I for example take photos or videos with physical button, everything is fine, but if i want to use on-screen ones or change something in settings - phone freezes and I have to lock-unlock it a few times to make it react for touch, then i can turn the frozen camera app off. Sometimes it even makes the phone restart. Other applications using camera dont work too, they also freeze when i tap anywhere on the screen.
Is it software problem? Official Blackview forum isn't helpful at all.
Nobody knows what may be the problem? Looks like the software to me since i can still take pics with physical button.
Model Number: MT2L03
Build: MT2-L03C00B322
Android version: 5.1
EMUI 3.1
Not rooted.
Not sure exactly what the issue is. I think it needs a new battery. Because when it gets down to 10% left it will randomly go down to 2% all of the sudden, then I will get that message saying "phone powering off" then the phone is difficult to ever get back on... which is why I try to never let the battery go completely dead.
Anyways the other night it went completely dead..... I charged it for forever it seemed, I noticed it was a little warmer than usual.
I ignored it and left it plugged in.
The next day I took it apart (I have taken it apart before, and put it back together with everything working fine)
Reason I've taken it apart in the past is because I had to replace the lcd screen because the other one got sat on and it shattered.
So I have an originally white phone with a black lcd screen....
Anyways I took the phone apart again, looked at the battery to make sure it wasn't bloated or warm anymore. It was fine.
I turned it back on and I noticed when I open the stock camera app it kept saying "can't connect to camera" or something similar.
So I took it apart again, unplugged the camera and plugged it back in, tried rebooting the phone, and when I opened camera again the phone then rebooted itself a few times.
Now instead of getting the message of "unable to connect to camera" it's as if the phone doesn't see the rear camera at all anymore.
The flash for the rear camera doesn't work anymore either.
I got it to turn on for a while, when it couldn't connect to the rear camera, but then it didn't want to turn off, then the phone rebooted itself, and now I can't get the rear camera or the flash to work.
The front camera works fine. But as for the rear camera there are no options to switch to it like there used to be.
On the top of the camera app there used to be a sort of "refresh" icon that would switch between the two cameras, that's gone though.
I also tried downloading apps that tell you about android hardware... and they say for secondary camera something like "not detected"
I made sure though.... the rear camera is plugged in all the way.
I even tried the backup and reset thing....
I don't know how to boot this model of phone into safe mode. I tried holding the power button, but I'm not sure if you hold the physical button, or long press the power icon on the screen???
I opened the camera app and went to settings and restored defaults.
I also tried opening app info for camera and clicking clear data. Neither helped.
How do I get android to see that there is a camera there?
Would downgrading the phone to the original build it was on help?
I think it was originally android 4.3.
Edit: So my main questions are... how do I boot into safe mode?
Would rooting it and clearing the dalvik cache work maybe? Isn't that what causes android to say "optimizing app X of X" when booting up?
How do I root this phone? After I root it would there be anything I can do to troubleshoot the rear camera or flash?
It just seems weird to me that one minute it says it can't connect, but the flash was working. Then the phone rebooted itself, and now it doesn't even seem to realize that there is a rear camera plugged in. And now the flash for camera isn't working either. Even did a backup and reset.
