Nexus One - camera stopped working

Hi Guys,
My camera has stopped working. It only turns on when it's on the car dock plugged in.
I have latest Cyanogen Gingerbread, latest radio, and camera just doesn't turn on. It hasn't turned on since Froyo, just very wierd.
Any idea's how to fix or troubleshoot?

have you tried clearing data/cache for the camera app? main phone settings, applications, manage applications, all, camera....

Use the "get back to stock" thread. That's all I can think of.
Have you dropped the phone at all?

So wait, you mentioned it didn't work since Froyo, and now it doesn't work on CM7? Presumably, you did a full wipe. And it still doesn't work? That's weird.
Like wdfowty said - try going back to stock.
Also, wrong subforum.

Yes I've always wiped, and it stopped working since Froyo. It works whenever it is on the car dock plugged in which is very wierd. But when i try to start it, the screen goes blank and it just sits there. Then I get the force close option or wait.
Really frustrating... :-(

Where is the get back to stock thread?
Dropped the phone few times, but it works in the Car Dock no problem.

I had similar issue when I install an incompatible kernel with Cyanogen Mod. Although obviously you're using CyanogenMod's default kernel, but do try a latest kernel for CyanogenMod and see if it can help.
Pershoot's kernel for CM:

IntersectRaven's:

Is there a kernel that is compatible for CM7? I kind of don't want to go back to Froyo...

I'm having the exact same problem; no camera, no torch. Any help would be greatly appreciated
CM 7 Nighties #18
Honeybread theme with minimalist icons
2.6.37.3_CAVS-CM7-NOBOOST_CFS_20110312_2317 Kernel

[Q] CM71 - Missing Screen Lock?

Hi all,
I have installed CM71 (Nightly 167) on the SD Card last night. Everything works great but somehow I am not able to get the screen to lock after the screen has turned off. Has anyone here experienced something like this? What do I do to get that fixed?
Thanks.

Sorry I forgot to check the Tablet Tweak menu! Problem solved...

You mean the now really, really old 7.1.0 RC? You're much better off on a newer nightly.

[Q] Camera problems (MiniCM7-2.1.8)

Hi,
I have a persistent problem with my camera with the MiniCM7-2.1.8: it simply doesn't work.
When I start the camera, the interface comes in, but where you are supposed to the picture, everything is just black. Then the the camera app force closes. The camera worked a while with MiniCM7-2.1.6, then the problem appeared suddenly and nothing seems to solve it (full wipe with MiniCM7-2.1.6, MiniCM7-2.1.7 and MiniCM7-2.1.8., several times)
The camera doesn't work with third party camera apps either
I don't want to change this rom, for this is by far the most outstanding in my opinion, but it would be great to have a camera.
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Mine camera working fine! which version of Kernel and MiniCM7 are you using? aNa kernel+ROM?

Problem
Hi, I'm from Venezuela and I have a problem, the rom works perfectly but does not work the camera button to take the picture and must be from the screen ...
also has some problems in the status bar but they are minimal, really good is my first report I want to thank you for making my phone I marvel more and more by large developers like you ...

Hi saintckk,
Now I am using nAa 10, but I had the same problem with 8b an 9 as well. I am kind of out of ideas what might have caused this - as I said, I tried several fresh installs and full wipes.

Auto Rotation is not working properly...Plss help me :-(

Hi guys
Auto rotation is not working properly on my galaxy s...some times it doesn't even work...I tested it on both ICS and Gingerbread...Really it is hurting me...plss help me to solve this problem...
Thanks in advanced

plsss guys help me...im waiting for your replyyy

If its any help, my auto rotation was pretty buggered as well. It would work on gingerbread but only if you help the phone more vertical than you really needed to. ICS wouldnt work at all.
Mine also wouldn't work properly in google sky maps and similar apps, if you panned left and right, it would also twist the view a bit, difficult to explain but see if sky maps works as expected. Also compass wouldnt work properlly, only worked with phone flat, soon as you tilt it would start to change direction when should be pointing same way.
I went back to various stock roms, different modems, loads of stuff, reflashing boot loaders, unrooting everything and couldnt fix it.
was a hardware fault, no other reason i could see why it wouldnt work, and just got phone replaced under warranty. all good now.

what ROM you use or you are in stock ROM? go to settings/about telephone and write what you see in there

there is no calibration in settings.....what to do now?

I have a similar problem.
Autorotation of apps works ok on Ginger (2.3.5, 2.3.6), but on any ICS that I have tested doesn't work.
ICS has no horizontal calibration, so do not know what else to do.
Any hint?

i have the same problem on I9000 4.1.2 cyanogen mod,any solution?

[Q] Touchscreen issue

Hi everyone,
I was up to ICS Rom yesterday, but everytime i unlock screen, i cant touch in the bottom of the screen, cant typing with h, g, j and somewhere around it, but on the right, left or top screen i can still use normal. Does anyone know what happen and how to fix it?
When im in CM7 Rom is was fine and has no problem
PS: Sr for my bad english i really not good in grammar.

Same problem but different area
I have the same issue.
On Apex i had no issues but when i upgraded to SlimICS 3.2. The right side of the screen ocasionally becomes unresponsive.
That is, on any keyboard from approximately the 'i' to backspace horizontally, and from enter to the top of the screen.
This whole zone randomly decides not to work. the only fix is to turn the screen off and then turn the screen on again, or backing out of the application and reloading it. The application can be anything, chrome browser, swiftkey, messages, whatsapp.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
I'm running slimics3.2 with semaphore ics 1.0

I'm also running slim 3.2 and had the same issue with the sephamore kernal. I just reflashec the essentials and everything worked perfectly for me.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA

I used the essentials kernel first and experienced the issue, i thought it was a kernel issue so I flashed semaphore afterwards. But I still have the issue...

I hate to say this, but its probably the fact the phone does not like ICS, it is more than likely some sort of hardware incompatibility issue.
I went through this exact same thing, it was on a 1009 or so build number captivate, no matter what flavor of ICS, none of them would work properly with the touchscreen hardware, there was always a spot of the screen, at the lower center 1/4 portion of the screen, that was unresponsive. Flashing a Froyo or Gingerbread rom, the touchscreen was perfect.
So.. I sold that Captivate, purchaced a refurb Captivate off Ebay, and touchscreen is perfect with ICS (CM9 is what I run).
Wish I had something more helpful, but that's my experience. Good luck with it.
