A while back I lost all functionality related to the camera on my vivid; no front or rear camera, no 'torch' or flashlight. I'm about 95% convinced it's hardware related, (results are the same on any ROM I've tried) but I cracked open the case and disconnecting and reconnecting the cameras had no effect.
Anyone have any input on what to try next.

Ruu back to stock and see if that fixes it. If not you may be better off just getting a new phone

Hey friends
For sometime I have been having signal drop issues with my incredible S .. I have changed radios (ics ones)
and also roms.. but it doesnt seem to go away
basically the signal drops randomly and says no network and after a while comes back on..
any help or solutions? highly appreciate it..
Thank you!
Any advice my friends?
Maybe it's the service providers issue? Are any other phones at your disposal facing the same issue?
You Jelly Bruh??
Don't think it's the service bro.. Using another device in the same area and it's totally cool..
I'm jelly bro

same issue here. signal is fine most of the time, then suddenly no signal for a few minutes. but restart is fixing it, so It's
neither the antenna, nor our provider.. hmm ._.
I'm guessing I would have to take the phone apart completely simplay taking the back cover off shows no wire. I saw a post earlier about the signal cable was disconnected. I did not see one and as stupid as this may sound would all phones have one?

Could it be radio related then since many if us are having this?
Has anyone been getting this issue on an ICS ROM?

I hv this issue with my mobile data. It keeps DC and then comes back. doesn't happen with the network though.
hello everyone. had the one for 3 weeks now. I just noticed a very small blue dot almost at the center of my screen when taking pics or recording videos. I could only see it on camera mode though. on home screen it does not appear. ran dead pixel test and did not find anything. I been searching forums and found nothing similiar . I'm debating on returning it or is there a fix for this. I'm completely stock, unrooted for now.
Is it in your photos?
Yes. I just tried it.

If u look at the same spot where the dot is and compare it to the app drawer, u can't see it.

Just curious here but does it show on both front and back camera's or just one?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Just on the rear facing one. I hope it's a software issue, not hardware . I don't want a refurbished one.

At this stage, you likely won't get a refurb.
That said, it looks like your camera actually has a dead sensor. Not sure what, if anything, you can do to try to clear it up short of taking in the phone.
It obviously isn't the screen.
Ya, I am no genius on this subject by no means but that pixel would be considered stuck instead of a dead pixel. If it is on the software end of things then going through the various colorize settings in that particular camera mode and taking snapshots may release it. Maybe even a factory reset may release it back to normal.
Then again it may be a warning sign that that pixel is about to go dead too I guess. I really hope you get this cleared up for sure and I for one would be very curious as to just what is going on here. Thanks.
Edit: referring to the camera may have a dead sensor as said above, I would have thought that it would have shown that way with recording too. Maybe not though...
Thanks guys I'll try to take it back as soon as I can

My HTC One has the exact same issue but it's on the very edge of the screen so much less offensive then where yours is.
It's a hot pixel on the camera sensor that only shows up when the ISO is cranked up. For DSLR's, software (at the factory or even on camera) is used to "map out" these hot pixels. Perhaps we have something similar on our phones that can be accessed.. have you tried a hard reset?
Blue dot
Yeah I recently purchased mine but unlocked and I have the same problem, seems to happen when it is on high ISO. I was reading into the hot pixel thing which happens in other cameras, but they say they go away but can persist. I am debating to wait or exchange it, but these phones are back-ordered :/
Considering that your hot pixel is near the center of the screen, I would consider exchanging it (if possible). While it's true that they can sometimes go away on their own, my experience (with DSLR's at least) has led me to not rely on this happening (I have a few hot pixels on my DSLR that have appeared and NOT gone away in the last few years).
I have a similar problem I have a little green dot on the corner of my screen

Yo
So I just bought my HTC One yesterday, and I've noticed that Gmail and Facebook push notifications does not work despite it being turned on - what could be the cause?
I am still having a hard time deciding if I should turn it in, because the 4 MP camera just might not cut it for me, lack of detail and a bit blurry pictures in my opinion, though the colors are pretty okay in low light. What do you guys think about the camera?

Also, how are ya'lls 4G signal? Mine is not very impressive, and even on 3g or h+ i only get three bars as oppose to full with my nexus 4

Even in the middle of town I only get 3 bars

I am REALLY on the edge about using my 14 days return policy.
HTC One is a masterpiece, but that camera is hyped too much.
I did a few on the spot tests in a phone store today, and my HTC One had bad color reproduction, was kind of out of focus and in general just grainy and blurry. S4 first then One
It sucks, I really love this phone, but weak 4G signal, a weak camera, push notification problems and not too good battery performance really sucks :/
I was at an old asylum last night on a flashlight tour and trying to take photos in the dark.
My photos came out unfocused and terrible compared to iPhone and Galaxy users when attempting the exact same shot.
Any ideas? Do I have a bad censon? I was using stock firmware as I just completed the htcdev unlock yesterday before I left for the asylum.

Update. I put bad boys ROM on the device and photo's look a bit better. It's hit or miss...some look great...some are terrible. Any ideas? Rather than marching to my local sprint store and having them send it away and fixed?

If it's still new, I would get it exchanged. The camera on the one has major issues, and it looks like you might have a bad camera module.
Two months old. So I can't just exchange it anymore.

Sucks dude. Then the big question is can you live with it? I would try and send it in for warranty. If you don't try and address it now, it's just going to piss you off more and more as time goes on. My opinion anyway.
True. I'll search for a guide to get it back to full stock so it doesn't say tampered.
I love this phone and I don't want to just give up on it. Done some Google searching and this seems to be a problem that's all too common.

Pretty much sums it up.
Ultrapixel is a gd gimmick. Your camera is actually better than a lot of people's.
Blurry photos in dark are because it can't see well enough to focus and if the shutter is slowing down to allow more light in, it'll blur due to movement - even from your hands shaking

So, I flashed a 5.5 rom and my camera was working GREAT. The flash went off the instant BEFORE the camera tried to focus and boom...no more blurry photo's.
HOWEVER, this morning (after the phone was charged 100% overnight) I was sending a text.... the phone gave off a MASSIVE vibration and then went dead. I mean dead. Completely unresponsive. Won't turn on. The LED light won't even flash when plugged in.
Traveling to PA to see if it can be "repaired".
We shall see how this goes.
Its a hardware issue/Defect. I just got mine replaced for free and purchased it in June. My new camera purple haze is gone. Unfortunately sprint sent me a effed phone with an inverted power button and no vibration. Now I got to wait another week or so for another refurb.
I observed that since I update my HTC one to 4.3, the camera became grayish purplish. I have done all I can think of to get the camera to be as clear as it is supposed to be, but no solution, I need help as it have taken away the fun in taking pictures with my phone.

This is a very known hardware issue, not related to the 4.3 update. Send your phone to repair under warranty. They will replace your camera chip with an improved one.
