Camera Crash - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My D2 has crashed twice after using the camera to take about 5 snapshots.
The screen gets completely pixelated and i'm forced to remove the batery in order to restart the damn thing.
Has anyone else experienced this?
cheers

Camera causing phone crash

Anyone else experiencing crashes when they use the camera app, finish what they're doing, close out, use the phone and then go back to the camera? Multiple times I've used it to snap photos and exit, then come back later to launch the camera app only to have it sit, with the icon lit blue and then crash the phone after 2-3 minutes of sitting
Something similar happened within 1 hour of owning the phone for me, wife was testing out the camera and was not waiting for focus and kept tapping the shutter button, phone made the shutter sound in a continuous death loop for a few minutes and rebooted.
Yes, I have experienced a crash from the camera app too. Later, the camera had an error that wouldn't allow me to open the app at all. When I tried to open the camera it just kept displaying "Unable to initialize camera," it took a reboot to fix it. I think it was caused by opening the camera app and sleeping the phone then waking it a few times. Plus, the panorama function has failed me. It didn't crash the phone, but it just didn't work. Hopefully Motorola will address these bugs in the future but I won't be holding my breath.
Yeah it has happened to me twice

Yeah, I've had to pull the battery out to get it to reboot. Pretty craptacular - can't wait for root on this baby
It's happened twice to me. Motorola has admitted the camera app has a bunch of problems that they're working on.

Yes, Matt admitted that the camera is being worked on by Moto and partners between the crashes and the blue tint problem.
Hopefully its only a software problem that can be corrected, the camera app definitely needs some work. Maybe a 3rd party app can help us in the mean time, anybody know anything that works?
Based on recommendations, I just got Camera360.
So far it seems to be working great!
Is blue tint gone?

When the camera works, it takes great pictures. Unless you're talking about camera360?
This is something that we have to deal with when we buy a new phone. Yes sometimes the phones don't have big issues and sometimes they do. Its the curse of new phones. But im very hopefull that an update is right around the corner.

I mean is the blue tint gone with Camera 360, or is it a hardware problem

[Q] camera no longer working

Hi everybody,
I updated cym to 7.1 a few days ago and since then the camera no longer works. When I click the camera button the first image the camera sees freezes and that's it. I can't focus on anything else and nothing happens until I push the exposure button again and then all I get is a fuzzy, blurry picture of whatever the camera first saw.
Anyone have a solution for this problem or know what's causing it?
Thanks for your help

[Q] Camera Unable to Focus

Hi,
I have a H1 and today morning i thought of taking some pictures in my garden. Everything went on fine and then all of a sudden my phone's camera was unable to focus on anything. it just stays blurry. and when in touch to focus it just keeps changing the metering. if i turn the app off for 5 min and turn the camera on again it focuses for a few seconds and then again loses focus.
Could this be a hardware issue or software issue? im running ARHD 7.3 with a stock kernel.
regards

I had tried that among other things like changing kernel and upgrading from arhd 7.2 to 7.3..
.
But I noticed something, my battery was low so I was running at 1ghz and now it's at 50% and the problem has gone... Could be a mix of diff software issues.. Fixed for now though... Whew!!!

I am having exactly this issue..
After a few seconds camera can no longer focus -
Stock T-Mobile UK
Could be due to low power or might also be because of dirt/dust/spec in your camera lens

i fixed the issue buy just putting my phone on charge! it was definitely cause of the low battery. ive programmed setcpu to underclock it to 1ghz when it reached under 25% battery, so that was causing the issue..since then ive not seen the issue crop up again. i highly doubt dust can get in so there shouldnt be any need to panic about it.:good:

hmmmmm....wow i thought it was a custom rom issue..maybe rooting the phone and the installing a cpu governer like daemon or setcpu might help..you try setting minimum frequency to 1.2 and see if that helps..
coz i got myself an O2 version from uk and installed a custom rom on it.. and well one morning it started acting whacky..but putting it on charge helped..it could be possible..i sifted through the other posts and i believe we are the only 2 people who have faced this problem..but had it been a hardware issue it would not have been fixed so easily so im pretty sure its a software bug..
Could be a problem with the camera sensor over heating
Wow is that even possible? I did not know that.. The problem Did come up after I tried some panoramic shots and a few regular pics out in the sun..

T-mobile have offered to replace my phone
And HTC UK have offered to take it for repair..
Not sure which option gives me the quickest turn around.
It's annoying as it works fine from time to time.
That's sad.. Coz I know how it feels to not have your phone with you.. I was lucky then I guess that it got fixed for me automatically.. But dad's theory could be correct about the sensor heating up.. Keeping in mind that it's more sensitive to light in the first place

and the problem is back again i was out with my friends last night and we were testing low light capabilities and the moment i switched to hdr video the camera gave up again... now its not even able to focus after being put on charge.. i tappe the phone a couple of times and it focussed but again failed..you think its a hardware issue
? or a power management issue by the kernel??(tried stock and bulletproof kernels)
Definitely sounds like the sensor overheating. On a lot of dSLR cameras with video and live view, they switch off after a short time to avoid the sensor failing

But I left the phone along overnight and it still had trouble holding focus for too long.. 5 or 6 seconds max... Could there be a possible software issue too coz apart from me only one other person is facing the same issue..
Sent from my HTC One using xda-developers app
That is why it sounds like hardware fault. If it was software, then more people wold be getting the problem.
Once it has cooled down for about 5-10 mins then it will work again, briefly.
Send back for a replacement, is my recommendation
i cant...i had it imported so its almost impossible to get it replaced..ill have to figure something else out...
Anyone else facing the same issue? it keeps cropping up again and again..

Multiple Camera Problems

Hey guys,
I've never really used Zoe, but I'm on holiday so I thought I'd try it. What I've noticed is that it starts well, but it seems to take ages to "process" (45 seconds). It basically just sits there with a red camera icon, and the phone becomes slightly unresponsive until it processes. Is this normal? how do I fix it?
Also, I've noticed HDR comes up with some strange results sometimes. Example:
Regular image mode- https://www.dropbox.com/s/3r9kwi949e4tpzf/2013-09-24 18.21.18.jpg
HDR: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7h0lt71f8xhv7fi/2013-09-24 18.21.13.jpg
Why does it come up with those things that look like smoke clouds?
Is my camera faulty? I find the Zoe problem bizarre.

Question Picture in picture issue after upgrading

Hi,
I just noticed after upgrading to Android 12, my YouTube keeps minimizing itself when I'm watching to picture in picture mode.
A day ago, I realized that randomly, my phone just goes to home screen in the middle of an app and maybe that's why I kept going in to PIP mode.
Anyone else having this issue?
I'm using Nova. Thanks
