Camera app or camera broken?

When I try to open the camera app, it opens and it's just a black screen. It doesn't even show the grey bottom part with the options.
Could the actual camera be broken? Is there any way to fix it?
I've also like to mention that the camera 360 app force closes on start

Best way to debug is wipe and flash stock.
PS logs help.

I've flashed several roms and no change. The led won't turn on either using the torch.
I'm pretty sure it's hardware. The problem is is that I bought it off eBay, and the bootloader is unlocked.
What are my options?

Flash the correct radio for the OS. Using Froyo? At least 4.06.

I've tried the two korean radius and the stock 4.06. No progress.
Is there any repair services that will fix it for cheap?

Q. Installing new leaked skype with video chat?

I downloaded the tbolt's leaked video chat enabled skype from droid-life, but obviously it can't be installed on fascinate. Is it possible to install it somehow?

I'd second this. Even just to use the back camera.

Who needs a front facing camera, just use a mirror

Video calling

I'm having issues with qik the person can see me but the screen where they are is just green.
Also on tango my front camera is too zoomed in. Any suggestions? Help? Tips? Also I'm running overcome Tom v3.0.0-Icarus

My front camera appears to be kinda zoomed in too on Tango. It's not just the Galaxy Tab...my Evo 3D's look like that too. It must be an issue with the app. Maybe we should send them feedback?

HTC Mirror Application - How to Get it Back in ICS

I'm not sure how many people really care but when upgrading to ICS, you may note that the Mirror application is no longer there...or so it seems. If you'd like to get that Mirror application back for the Narcissus in us, just flash this right after flashing the ROM. It's been tested on the WCX Generic build.
I posted this over at WCX also.

Couldn't you just open up your camera app and use the front facing camera?
But thanks for uploading it for people that actually do use or want it.

True, you could.

Also if you are using nova launcher the mirror app is in your app drawer.

Or you could push the search button and type mirror and it will show up

I was able to create a shortcut for it with Launch-X. Not sure why it's hidden, but it is still in ICS.

Instagram For Android, and the Front Camera Problems

Just by a show of users Id like to know whether or not those who have installed Instagram's newest update on the HTC VIVID still have issues with front cam pics, when taken they come out like how a broken NES cartridge used to look on your TV. Im looking to see if anyone has experienced the same exact probs so I can narrow down whether its my phone or the app.

Probably the app since were not the only users with front facing camera problems.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but my FFC has always been VERY fuzzy.

The FFC is a lower quality cmos camera, so the fuzziness will always be there. however it is known with devices using ICS the FFC fails to preview pics using the default instagram camera. Ive been emailing tech support and I was told the issue will be resolved soon.
If you disable the "advanced instagram camera" and use the phones default camera, all is well.
At present all photos taken with the FFC using the Instagram camera fail to show a preview, if not, garbles NES like designs...too bad there isnt a cartidge slot to blow compressed air into lol

lol and I understand l, but on my previous android, I had a VGA front camera and it seemed more detailed and less fuzzy than this FFC.

I'm having the same problem I get some off pixilation at the bottom when I preview the picture

At least u get an image on the ffc?
My guess: it's the app.

It MUST be the App.. I see it on my new HTC One X LTE.

Update, as per the most recent instagram release on google play, all problems are fixed. No need to install optional updated gl drivers, although the app works without them now
