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:

Hey guys, hope you can help me.
I've been using Cyanogen for a few months and now I face this problem:
When I use the camera, i see a black screen with controls, and can take pictures, however, I see a black screen and not what you expect to see as the view is the camera lens.
I've tried doing a nandroid (just in case camera or something was damaged) a full wipe, applying a rom from scratch and camera works correctly...
I'm guessing it may be an app or some setting bothering.
I don't want to configure everything from start, please help me
More information: this issue seems to happen before installing Motomizer and applying one touch optimization, and if it's uninstalled, problem keeps going
I've found that at the same time I cannot see any video on youtube videos.... maybe it's an overlay video problem?
Anyone?
Solved!
Dear jhonnyx,
I had the exactly same issue and I found it was a Kernel issue.
I was using wrong CF-Root and solved it just by flashing new kernel.
To solve the the problem just flash another kernel for your device, I prefer Siyah or DorimanX.
Hope this will help!
Recently i was able to take real close picture with macro and auto focus. Till one day, mine focus was completely gone even though the setting remain the same. Is there any possibilities that it is a camera software problem .
Currently i can only take pictures of object at least 1 meter away. Nearer object appear blurrish...
Try clearing the data from the camera app..
Also restart the phone (if you haven't already) and clean the lens. Simple yet sometimes v.effective
If that doesn't work have you tried searching within the thread of your current ROM?
I tried but to no avail. I even reflashed the camera firmware. I suspect the lens was somehow stuck or wad when i drop it when i was aslp.
If your still under warranty send it back...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Try other camera app's. Is this problem not disappear is problem with you firmware and try re-flas rom.
I tried reflashin it, factory reset, format everything that could be formatted. Still like the same. Look like i have to replace the camera module myself. SIGH

I am having a problem with my wife's, Atrix HD. This just started out of no where with no changes or updates in phone/. When I open the camera app i just get a black screen with the controls but no camera image, the controls respond (change colors when pressed) but don't do anything and I never get a camera picture. after a while I usually get a camera is unable to initialize error. I have searched and either no one provides a solution that I haven't tried or theirs messed up after flashing a custom ROM which I haven't done. I have tried all the factory resets, clearing cache, clearing data in application management for camera and gallery and none of it helped as other have recommended. Out of frustration I rooted her phone so I could experiment with uninstalling the camera (and gallery) and installing other versions of camera (and gallery) from other phones/aosp/android versions ext. and then re-installing the stock ones all to no avail. I know that the all the cameras were working just a week ago and that the front facing camera was working in oovoo even after she started having trouble with the rear camera, but I cant get either of them to pull up now. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I am leaning towards either a hardware issue or maybe the camera firmware was corrupted somehow and if this were the case does anyone know how to remedy it?
Let me know if you need any more info.
Thanks,

Someone help!
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.
See photos:
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.
Ok, the rear camera doesn't open. I can't switch to it in the camera app or snapchat etc. Flash doesn't work either, and if I do the "V" gesture for flash when the phone is locked, it restarts. I have:
* Cleared cache/data
* Disabled and re-enabled the app.
* Dirty flashed OOS 4.1.7 multiple times and have also flashed Franko's Kernel which I normally use (currently running stock kernel though).
* Google camera app multiple times. (had this before too, then I deleted it after this camera problem arose)
Not sure if relevant but TWRP has been giving me some error I haven't been able to fix for some time, and can't delete the file that it says it can't open (through twrp itself or cmd+adb) . Relevant SS attached.
Thanks.
You may want to try to flash the phone using the unbrick tutorial. Make sure you have a backup of internal memory
Hmm, I haven't tried that. I just did a clean install with no success. I deleted everything except USB OTG from TWRP. This has become much harder to fix than it should be . I didn't even do anything to set it off, I was in snapchat and took a pic and then it stopped and the rear camera/flash haven't worked since.
Just to update, I just tried a clean install of NLOS Lineage OS and the rear camera/flash still didn't work. Also, if I try to take any type of video with front camera the phone says "Low memory, adjust the picture resolution or delete some files" even though there's only 3.3 GB of space used.
Also, after a clean flash and wipe of everything the error reported by TWRP no longer exists. So that wasn't what was causing the problem.
Just used the unbrick tutorial. It worked perfectly however the problem still persists and remains unchanged. Anyone have any other ideas?
After some deep diving through forums I decided to use the phone's inbuilt hardware tests, in particular *#808#, as the camera test given by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* doesn't work. Firstly, the flash works through the hardware test (although quick settings still doesn't). The "foolproof camera test" gives BackCamera PASS and FrontCamera Fail. This makes sense as when I go to the individual tests the "backcamera" shows the front camera image, while the "frontcamera" just says "cannot open camera". The PDAF/Cam_EEPROM info test says "FAIL Qualcomm", which I believe is the camera firmware not working. The storage test says "sdcard is unavailable" which I assume is why the camera isn't allowing me to record any video through the selfie camera and says "Low memory".
In summary, how do I fix the camera firmware problem and the sd card error?
RMA your phone, hardware fault.
Ok Thanks.
So there is no way to update/fix the firmware problem?

Im having the same problem on my one plus 3...did u find any solutions??? if yes plz lemme know.
I haven't found a solution.i replaced both The front and back camera and even played with old/new cameras in different configuration (old front + new back / new front+old back / no front + new or old back and so on) varying the result from "Back camera pass/Front camera fail to both Fail ) .the funny thing Is that if you just remove back camera and do the diagnostic menu *#808# > foolproof camera test it still says back camera pass
I have the same problem... And my camera before of this beta worked awesome... Beta 24 **** our phones...
Experiencing the same problem with the front (away) facing camera and the flashlight.
Same Problem for me since the latest official Beta. Ich tried resetting and reflashing the Phone with the last official stable rom. Did not help.
I think I solved this. I let the phone cool down then i powered it off. I let it cool down a bit again and then booted it back up. The camera and FL work.
It seems that this happends when the phone gets heated, at least in my case.
I have the same problem, camera was working fine yesterday. Foolproof camera test shows front camera fail. But the front camera works
