[Q] Bought off of eBay and the camera goes black on start up.

Are there any issues with this known, is there any tests that can be performed on the hardware? When I had WM6.5 I could test various hardware pieces such as the speaker, flash or display.

Build/FRG83D
This is a phone that I bought my friend for his birthday. I have a Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S.
I actually plan to sell mine and get a Nexus One. I really like the phone better then my Vibrant.

If you haven't already, do a factory reset (settings>privacy>factory reset). Since your unrooted it's unlikely it's a software fault.
Second resort, call HTC. Warranty's are device based, not owner based, so if the device is still under warranty you can get a new one
As a last resort, if your warranty is expired, I would root it without unlocking the bootloader. Try a couple different ROM's and kernals and see if you get any results.
I actually had this problem a while back. I was getting FC's every time I tried to access the camera (through any app). I figured I dropped it and broke a connection or something inside. I finally called HTC and they sent me a new one.
I had to restore everything back to stock since it was running CM6. After everything was back to stock, the camera magically started working again (and I reverted to some nandroid backups from months before and the camera still didn't work then). I returned it for a new unit anyway and HTC didn't charge me or say anything.

[Q] Volume to low and headset not recognized

I got my HTC One not so long ago, but when i received it, it wouldn't play through my headset (tried several different ones). I downloaded SoundAbout it worked (as a temporary fix), but now some days ago the sound where acting strange. When i turn the volume to full there's almost no sound, I can barely hear it, with both speakers and headset.. I rooted mine, and I'm using Cyanogenmod, I've tried to re-install to stock several times ( and different types of Roms), but nothing works. I heard this is a really common issue for this specific model.. Anyone have any solution?
Sadly, I unlocked the bootloader and customer support says that the warranty doesn't cover it. I got these problems before I unlocked it, but I was stupid enough to unlock it before sending it to repair.
Could anyone help me?

I am sorry to hear about your problem. I have a HTC One and I used several different earphones and headphones and they all worked perfectly fine, but the volume controls do not work, just the play/pause/answer/reject button. I'd suggest relocking the bootloader and sending it back to the company since it seems like a hardware issue rather than a software one, especially since you've tried different ROMs and applications. There are great guides on returning back to stock, and you'd have to use ADB in order to relock the bootloader and remove the TAMPERED flag (if you have a custom recovery installed at the moment).

Thanks for the answer !
If I relock it, can I send it for repair without paying for it (Does warranty cover it?)

I cannot guarantee it or anything because it works differently in different counties but I'd say if you revert everything back to stock as in bootloader, recovery, Rom and such then you'd have a very high chance of getting it repaired or replaced under warranty. When relocking the bootloader it will say relocked rather than its original locked state, but you can claim you purchased it used like that or something.
EDIT: Actually I just realized that you can revert back to a 'locked' rather than 'relocked' state using ADB, so you should be set. I am going to look for that specific post with instructions on how to do that and get back to you.

stuck on bootloader

Hey guys..so my moto x gen 2 whent on the blink a month ago the same day google did there ota update..
called motorola and made me go thru tons of combinations to restore it..
it seems like there is a corrupt image..so sent it out for repaire..
telus says that there is a broken chip and charged me 150$...
so refused since the phone is almost new and looking new also..
sent it to a local ubreakifix...they say they scanned the phone has nothing broken at all it is firmware related but only moto can flash it...
so called moto and complained..lol they gave me a pre-paid pkg to there repaire center,,(furture tel)..
got the phone back not repaired saying tampered boot [email protected]#$%%
i know that the web site says the warrantie is voided when boot loader is unlocked..but even the 3 reps from moto and telus never mentioned it...
so long story short it is not repaired and woundering if there a way to recover,flash or what ever..
1-tried the volume up power combos.gets to recover recovers but does not reboot.
2 -went thru all features one by one and still does not reboot...

This is why I don't bother rooting mine. There seems to be too many issues with these phones that you just never know when you'll be required to return them for a warranty repair.

true never again..sticking to my Samsung...i just want to repair it for my son..

i just got my second warranty replacement device TODAY(I am grandfathered into the original $10 per month Jump!/insurance program)
the first time was back in Oct, the G4 went into bootloop and would not fully power on. would at most show the LG boot logo and then repeat. I had an unlocked bootloader, a custom recovery, and a custom rom in place. there was no physical damage. phone worked fine until the bootloop.
result: tmobile warranty replacement. never heard anything regarding any software modification/rooting/bootloader unlocking.
the second time, phone started acting up and having random reboots and sometimes freezing. then it appeared to be stuck in a bootloop, but would sometimes attempt to load the boot animation, and once or twice actually loaded the custom rom I was running, but would then freeze within minutes of operation. Bootloader was unlocked, custom recovery, custom rom.
This time, because I was able to get it to boot long enough without tinkering with the device at all..... I was able to stay booted long enough to initiate a LGUP .kdz install which returned the device to stock. i was then able to adb reboot bootloader, and oem bootloader lock. so the phone had zero signs of ever being "tampered" with.
of course the thing turned on today while i was in store, loaded up as if it was a fresh install. I assured the customer serice rep that it was having issues, and that I would not be replacing the device under warranty if needn't be.
result: tmobile warranty replacement.
he laughed at me and smiled, as if i were a typical samdung, i mean typical Tmobile customer who didnt know anything abut my device.

..... really cant comment on any other type of situations.

Sent out for warranty repair, now permanently locked bootloader

Just a warning for those who have an unlocked Pixel that you want to send in for repair.
I bought a 4xl that was a Google refurb in excellent condition. Bootloader was unlockable. I had lineage 19 on it for a while, but there was an intermittent touch issue on the screen.
So I reloaded the latest factory firmware, relocked the bootloader, and sent it in for warranty repair. They did repair it under warranty and sent it back.
Now OEM Unlocking is permanently disabled. I have a nice shiny repaired phone that I can't unlock.
EDIT: Decided to connect it to the internet but still no dice. BUT a few reboots later, the OEM unlock toggle suddenly enabled. Not sure why it did that - I've never had that happen before. It was either grayed out or not - no way for a user to change that ever.
