For as long as I can remember, back before we got Gingerbread there was a cracked version of skype that allowed us to use the FFC but video was upside down. I notice even after Gingerbread release, Gingervolt rom, and BrokenOut I notice the FFC STILL takes pictures and videos upside down. While I don't use it all that often it would be nice for it to take pictures correctly. I know that back on when I first got the phone it did in fact take them correctly. Has anyone else had this issue, or perhaps know of any fixes? I have tried wiping cache, dalvik, reflashing BrokenOut again, fixing permissions in CWM still to no avail.

Im sure you all know that CM7 has a buggy camera, but i didnt think it would be this ridiculous 0.0. Every time i take a picture, i have to switch to video camera, then back to camera to take the next picture... If i download another camera app, i get a "Forced Close". CM7 is by far one of the best roms ive had so if it means no camera, so be it... But if there is a fix, id really like to be able to use it
Please let me know
Thanks!
I read your post opened up the camera, took three consecutive pictures, switched to gallery and viewed them.
So it works for me. Have you tried reflash or have you installed the latest update?
CM7
yeah, just flashed the update for today and everything seems fine :S. Im not sure why that happened though, happy its fixed
I have a problem with my camera. Everytime I open the camera app the preview screen is filled with pink/purple horizontal lines. I can't take photos with it, if I try I hear the click sound but the picture is never saved on my SD card. If I put my finger on the camera lens, the preview screen goes dark so it's 'seeing something' and then distorting it.
I'm trying to get a picture of the phone while it's doing this.
I'm running CM7 nightly 85
Anyone know if it's hardware related.
P.S. It's not the pink photo problem that is fixed by pushing on the camera
Edit : Now I can't even reproduce the bug. Phone says cannot connect to camera

My Sony T1 did this and for that...it was hardware failure. (did you drop or spill anything on your phone?) I guess you can try multiple ROMs. Try the MIUI ROM to see if it does the same thing...and keep your fingers crossed.
I didn't spill anything on it. But I use the camera every month or two so maybe I did but don't remember. Gonna try another ROM.
ok after a Temasek extreme wipe and a sd card wipe rodriguez MIUI is rebooting 10 secs after loading up.... (pretty sure it makes my phone overheat as it's really hot)
Installed CM7 7.0.3, I get the pink screen again.
Installed CM6 6.1.1, I get a black screen / forced close.
Modaco gives a FC / Camera not responding
Gonna try Formels MIUI...
What radio/baseband are you using (the 2 sets of numbers after the underscore "_"... something like 4.06 or 5.08)? I have seen issues with people using the cameras on Gingerbread when using the 4.06 radio.
If you are running 4.06, I would highly recommend updating it to 5.08 (which is the radio version Google included in the Gingerbread OTA update).
I have the 5.08. I was able to take a video with it. Of course it was only pink scanlines but it means something is still working inside the lens.
But I'm tired of trying to make it work. I will probably try to ship it back to HTC.

It is beginning to sound like a hardware issue anyway. Hopefully you get it back fast.
i have a nexus one. i had the same camera problem.
it started after i dropped my phone, it was the first time.
i was able to take pictures after that but objects were in pink and purple color tones.
i was hopeless searching, hoping to find people who has problems...
suddenly i decided to hit back of the phone couple times and it fix the problem.
i know it sounds crazy but it worked...
i think it is the best think to do before you send your phone to htc...
Hi,
The problem which I have happens on stock ROMs with a main I9000 camera. It shows the picture fine, focuses also ok, writes a video just fine, but if I make a shot, it does corrupt it and save just "black" photo on the disk. Front camera make shots just fine.
Installing CM7 and sometimes (!!!) reinstalling stock ROMs fixes the issue. Interesting thing is it does not start immediately after installing a new ROM, but f.e. today it started happening after i made a couple of good shots, maybe too quickly... After it gets into this state nothing except installing a new ROM can help.
Wiping settings, dalvik, cache, resetting the camera, formatting SD card - i think i have tried everything... Please help !!! Does somebody had the same issues? Any hints?
have similar problem for a long time, but reinstalling stock or other ROMs DOES NOT fixes the issue.
video works fine.
panaroma works fine.
but when i'm trying to take a normal shot i can see the image, the camera focuses but when saved its a black/grey photo. (the corrupted pics are corrupted on the computer too .. )
now using sgs1, cm10.1 latest nightly
If somebody would suggest a solution that would be great. :fingers-crossed:
So this is a weird issue..I wasn't able to find it anywhere. Hopefully I can explain it correctly. Anywho..when entering the camera app (or using the camera in general whether it be through snapchat or Instagram), the image appears frozen on the screen. Like it already took a picture and it just sticks...no movement. Interestingly enough if I move the phone around and take a picture of a different area, the picture shows up in the gallery correctly. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue. The camera still works, but I can't tell what I'm taking a picture of. I've tried restarting my phone, but I'm not sure what else to try. I have the AT&T version btw.
The camera works properly when taking a video btw.
EDIT: solved. I cleared the data and cache for the gallery. I have no idea why that worked, but it did.
I recently bought a a fairly used Z1 from a local dealer.
After a few days of use, I started noticing that the rear camera randomly gets blurry for distant shorts. Nevertheless, if you take close up shots i'ts fine. The front Camera is also fine.
At first I wondered if the issue was with the Background defocus app, I installed. I have removed it cleared the device and camera cache but the camera is still as it is.
Also some days the camera is fine with no issues as I've taken great photos with it.
I need help to sort out the issue if it's a hardware or software issue and if I can fix it or I should return it since I have a 3 months of guarantee.

it appears I can't post an image link to dropbox.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Check if my tutorial helps you
did you try to clean install latest stock rom?
clean install means to wipe everything and flash the stock rom
Try Google Camera. If it keeps getting blurry, it can be a physical problem.
