First, I noticed my OPX Camera takes maybe 2-3 secs to launch, and when I try to switch from front to back camera or vice versa, it would freeze for a good 5 seconds before actually switching. My gf just started using her OPX and it didn't have that problem. But she also updated to 2.1.3X and Im on 2.1.3 but I get the feeling it's not an issue with the OOS version Im on... any idea?
Also Camera MX stopped working, It just crashes upon opening so Im back to google camera.

Sometimes when i take a picture the camera freezes and every time I try to open it it just shows the picture I took and it close by itself I have to restart the phone so the camera works again, am I the only one? Also is anyone else having other issues with the camera? 3D OR 2D
Ya i have the same issue, dont know if its been discussed before or not..im about to search it..but i asked a friend who works with sprint and he said he thought he seen an update coming out to fix it..hopefully its sooner than the bootloader unlock!!
I have the same exact problem......what I did was hit the home button and force close the camera app...it may happen again ....if it does force close it again...after a few photos it stops freezing....either way I hope a fix comes out from HTC.
I don't have a 3D but I'm running similar ROM on my 4G and had Camera issues.
Just for grins, try shutting off GeoTagging in Camera settings and see if it helps.
Total shot in the dark.
I was about to ask this cause finally I try to use my camera for the first time today all day n it froze on me after I take a picture n freezes , had to press home n go to application n force close it n open the camera app again so i can have it working n take picture again happen to me a couple a time not sure if evryone is experience this cuz its kind of annoying to try to capture n moment n the camera freezes.

Have you tried doing a factory reset? That seems to solve a lot of issues.

Very well put! Sometimes it is overlooked. Good Job!
Same issue, 3 times now. Frustrating. I get a black screen and sometimes the grid shows up but that's it. Can't hit back, only home. I think mswlogo might be onto something with the geotagging idea. I'm going to try that. I think it's only happened since I turned it on. But still I would expect I should be able to have that on AND be able to use the camera!
I had the issue a few times, but it's nothing that persisted. I've even had the random scrambled review screen, or even last night an entirely green screen, but they're not common at all. I also had choppy camcorder video playback once, but once I restarted the phone it was all fine. The thing is, our device is a highly tuned machine, but as with any machine there are always hiccups and random glitches every so often. As long as these glitches don't persist, though, and they are the exception rather than the rule in terms of operation, then it's understandable IMO.
BTW- Be sure to checkout your apps. A hanging application can create issues, and that was actually the problem behind my glitchy video playback. If you find out the issue, then be sure to post it for everyone of course ;-)
since new camera never worked i upgraded stock firmware made a factory reset but the problem is still there, the camera keeps a black screen freezes, buttons dont work and sometimes it says "camera fail"
would it be a hardware issue?
The camera should work with stock (out-of-the-box) firmware. You did the right thing and flashed newer firmware and also factory reset.
That should have fixed it if it was firmware issue...........
Rooting and installing any custom firmware would be a waste of time.
It's obviously a hardware issue, so re-flash the original firmware and return it for replacement asap.

Hi, I have bit different symptoms.
My back camera is working fine but I have problems with my front camera.
When I use my front camera it shows very darker screen than other GS3.
Also, when I want to switch from front to back camera it lags and switches after 5 seconds.
Sometimes it gives me error message when switching and it kicks me out to the home screen.
I don't know what is wrong.
I did the factory reset and the symptoms were still there.
When I reflashe the phone the symptoms are gone but it appears later.
I thought it was caused by one of the apps so deleted all the apps I have one by one.
Did not work out.
Will this be a hardware problem?
Hi!
I have Z2 with latest 5.0 build (.28). 1-2 days since i updated my phone, camera app stopped working. I opened it and it's just a black screen with control buttons. It doesn't make pictures. I tried to reset my phone with PCC, but problem stayed. I downloaded other camera apps from Play Market and they also didn't work, then i turned off stock camera app (in settings) and other camera apps worked fine. When i turn stock camera app back it works for some hours and then again black screen.
Is it a SW or HW problem? Does enyone know what to do?
Thanks
I have the same problem
i have never faced this problem, but i have heard that it was a couple of bugs in the 5.0.2 builds.
Try to upgrade your firmware and se if it works better
I have some pretty weird problems with my Z5c. I bought this phone about a year ago, and since 1 Month ago the microphone stopped working. I changed all the settings that had to do with me microphone, removed the Google Voice recognition. After a restart th emicrophone works again, but only for ~1-2 days. Then it stops working again, in any app. At exactly the same time, my Front FAcing Camera started glitching out in Third-Party-Apps ( not in the included camera app, but in every other that uses the Front facing camera) in the senese that there are horizontal green lines and vertical lines that look like motion blur. It again works normal after a restart, but only for the same time as the audio bug. Any ideas where these bugs come from? Thanks in Advance.

No, since the backuo functiom doesnt work that well and I dont want to lose all my data, so its a last resort.
Hey there! Since I got the phone I've had random reboot issues on Stock so I've switched to crDroid. But lately even on this custom ROM, I am experiencing camera freezing issues at 55 minute mark on WhatsApp/Zoom video calls. My video gets cut and the phone lags horribly and then after about 10 minutes, somehow it fixes itself. Has anyone else had the same issues ? Is there a fix for this ? I've had this issue on both Stock May update w/locked BL and on crDroid and EvolutionX. Thanks in advance.
i'm having this problem too
but it's even worse for me
always lagging in videocalls and camera cuts off completly after some time
i'm running stock android 10 ROM
Me too since about 2 weeks, maybe because of last security update (stock Android)
During video call the camera sometimes freezes, black picture.
It is also not possible to take photos after this happened. gcam and stock cam forced close.
After reboot everything is fine.
I found this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82666507&postcount=232 which describes in detail the cause of this error.
Hope it will be fixed soon
