I purchased a T-820 for a decent discount because it had a single bad pixel. Visibly everything on this tablet looks in great shape.
I recently completed rooting the tablet and flashing it with the latest T-820 firmware.
I am currently having problems with the camera where it simply does not work at all. Loading the default app and a third party app just leave a black screen.
I have tried:
-Clearing the camera app and gallery app caches and data from within the operating system interface
-Wiped the davlik and regular cache
I would run the onboard diagnostic but I can't figure out or find how to do so on a non-dialer tablet.
Does anyone have any additional directions i can take to determine the status of the cameras and hopefully get them working again?
Thank you!

Hello, I have some data issues. I'm on Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC2 and it happened me before on some stock ROMs. Pictures on some apps won't load, market and youtube, and HD widget won't load weather. I'm trying everything on Wifi, have connection, can download from market, play yt clips, but can't this annoys me.
Can anyone help me?
I'm using Samsung Galaxy I900
Thanks
Here are the pictures:
I've found that doing force stop, clearing the cache and data, and possibly uninstall updates then restarting the Market app will fix stuff like this.
From time to time the Market app seems to get confused and with frequent, silent updates it isn't easy to know what the state of the app is. Doing these steps will put it back to stock before having it jump to the newest version. In just about every case I've seen this gets images back and things working again. There's no downside to doing this process that I've seen... all of your paid apps and backups remain once all is working again.
Thanks for the reply, but didn't help. I think that has something with my wireless network, not a big issue, but little annoying.
my both droid phone and PC can't load market's images, too >_<
Had this happen to LG Optimums Black and the only way i could fix the problem was to re-flash the stock ROM. Hope this can help.
So I am having a problem with my Thunderbolt.
To start off, not rooted, all stock.
The problem is the seemingly infamous black screen camera app problem. In a nutshell, when I try to open the camera, it goes and stays on a black screen forever, with no buttons other than Home working.
If I hit Home, the camcorder app seems to be running in the background and eats up battery like there's no tomorrow, phone is dead in a couple of hours at most. While the camcorder app runs, every other app that uses camera reports an error stating the camera is in use and to reboot the phone. If I reboot, and try to use any other camera app (from barcode scanner, to papercamera and so forth), it also does not work.
I have read on the issue quite a bit and here are the things I tried with no success:
- clear data for the camera app.
- pull battery for a while.
- install a new camera app and try it.
- use the voice recorder.
- delete all camera pictures and videos off the sd card and memory.
- try it without an sd card.
- gently press the camera to see if it was loosened.
I hope the camera hardware is not dead, and factory reset seems to be the last thing to try. Any ideas of a good way to record what apps I have installed so I can easily reinstall them after, or a backup/restore method?
Or any other suggestions on things to try? It worked fine up to Friday, then Sunday it had issues. Between Friday and Sunday I used my phone like normal and installed two non camera related apps which I have tried uninstalling to see if they were the culprits.
Root and install Titanium Backup. Use the batch operation to backup all of your apps (and data if you choose), then factory reset, see if the camera works, reinstall TB, restore your apps (and data), and see if it still works. The camera itself really can't come loose, at least not without losing the lens cover and quite a bit of force.
Hmm, did a factory reset and the issue continues. Any other suggestions? Or do I resign myself that the hardware is gone?
Since I updated OTA to 2.3.6 build 4.5.141, I have been experiencing a problem with the camera as it shows a black screen (both still and video) and crashes after that.
I am willing to root the phone and install flash a ROM if that could be helpful. I tried a factory reset, SD format/unmount, battery pull, reboot, and everything possible with an unrooted device.
Warranty period is over so I can't ask for a replacement.
Any help is appreciated.
Camera
I had similar problems with upgrading to ICS Roms.
I fixed the problems with installation of Videocam Illusion and ProCapture or FastBurst Camera. I don't know if it is suitable for your Rom.
The only problem I see now with these apps is that I can't open, let say, ProCapture or FastBurst and after any camera or camcorder apps. The only to get these apps to work is to reboot.
Not working
Thanks for your feedback.
But I tried installing all those apps but they all give the same problem (black screen, which later freezes). I tried changing the resolution of the camera and then the camera app did not open at all saying: camera unable to initialize.
Occasionally, it shows a large camera icon in front of the screen and then it just closes down saying 'Activity Camera (in application Camera) not responding.
I do still think it is a software (not a hardware) problem because the phone has not been exposed to any physical damage whatsoever and everything else works smoothly on it.
I am already considering getting a replacement camera but thought I'd exhaust all other options before doing so as it does take a while to get a replacement. Luckily, it is under warranty.
Thanks again.
Id you're looking for a good stock based rom id try nottachrix. I've been on it roughly 2 months no issues

So, when I first got my HTC First, everything was working just fine, specifically the camera. But a while ago my camera stopped showing the button to switch between the front and back camera. I've Googled my life away trying to find a fix for this, only finding results for the HTC One M8. I've tried clearing the cache for the camera app (though there is no 'Camera' app, it just says 'Gallery' when I open the camera's app details.) Has anyone else experienced this, or come up with any fixes for it? By the way i'm rooted on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM and CWM Recovery if any of that helps. Though, this problem started long before I rooted my device.
Tried another camera app?
I have, i've tried a couple other camera apps, but recently I decided to clean up some space. Then I rebooted my device and it seems to work now, though it still goes out every once in a while. It seems like it was just a matter of space available on my internal SD for some reason. My best guess is it's a RAM issue.
Hi,
I recently bought an Xperia M4 dual.
First thing I did I rooted it.
However now I can't use the front camera.
The icon to switch cameras is just not available in the app.
When trying to use the portrait app, which should normally launch the front camera, the app crashes.
I tried running tests, using the built in diagnostic app as well as the *# code. It doesn't work, like the camera isn't detected...
I looked around for solutions, some suggested reinstall a clean rom, repair using companion app, clearing cache etc...
I did all that.
The phone is now factory restored using an original Sony kernel (same region HK), the bootloader is relocked as well.
Still no way to use the front camera!
Did anybody experience the same thing and know of any solution for this phone?
When googling for solution I found several users had similar problem on 5.0 with nexus. So I think (and hope) it's a software problem.
Just note one cache can't seem to clear using the settings app: camera common is always 12.00kb even after clearing. Don't know if it's related or normal behavior.
