Hello,
I am planing to replace my current phone for HTC One.
But, this HTC One which I should get has issues with camera.
A person told me that autofocus is not working and taking blurry pictures.
Also sometimes it happens that camera snaps pinky pictures.
Now, I am wondering how could I fix this ?
Is there camera module on ebay which could replace the original one, how much would that cost ?
All suggestions would be much appreciated,
Wizox

There is no warranty.
I will wait for other replies so maybe someone has a fix for this or experience about module replacement.
Thank you for sharing your experiences

If u want to test that it is really not a hardware problem,
try flashing another rom to see if the problem persists or not..
If it persists then its the problem of ur touchscreen so take it to sony service center.They will get it repaired...
flash another rom to make sure,but if it is shown when you are running different apps and even in cwm i guess its hardware problem...

some times there is a screen cut if you are in high frequency.
anyway if its your screens problem there are some cheap in ebay..
If It is a Hardware Problem... Than Just Replace the Touch pad it Should Cost you Around 20$ to 25$(2nd Quality)
I had the Same Problem & Replaced the Touch Pad Now it Works Good For Me..!!
Yeah but i can't buy on Ebay and where i live is much more expensive...its will be the half of the price of a new phone.
But thanks anyway!
Send from My Xperia™X8
yeah...
maybe you can flash with another ROM
always flash the kernel and the other..after that try to wipe data
hope it can help to solve your problem
Have you consulted a service center? And maybe find out if it's a hardware issue (it probably is ) and maybe get an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it?
Worst case scenario: buy a new phone but don't throw away your x8 so you can stay active here. That's what i'd do.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Do you have the warranty still active? maybe you can fix it for free.
No,i have the phone around 1 year and 5 months,no more warranty.I tryed to change kernel+ROM and nothing.By now i will assume thats a hardware problrm and 'll try to dissasembly and see what i can do... hope its simple!
Well I really hope you will repair it successfully...hope for the best and good luck
sent from my X8 with xda app
Well,no way i could fix it,the problem is inside the display and only a new one would work,sadly i will need to buy a new phone.Thats it.Thanks everybody who tryied to help and goodbye!

try restoring from your ta backup if you did backed up at all.
Thats what happens if you dont read whats gonna be the effect if you unlock your phone,,, this problem exist for ages, and theres still no fix for this issue, so if you didnt back up your T. A.,, you should wait maybe more months until sony fix it

As everyone has replied, you should have READ THE FORUM's before just going in and unlocking your bootloader. Right now if you unlock the bootloader, your camera will be completely useless. And since your posting here and are asking for help, i'm positive you did not back up your T.A partition which includes all the DRM keys for your camera to be fully fictional. Bottom line it if you do not have your T.A partition, there is no way to get your camera functionality back until Sony's fixes this issue and from the looks for it on the Sony forums, i doubt it will be anytime soon. Sorry, your pretty much SOL =(. On the upside, now you know to read the forums before doing anything that will void your warranty =).
i dont have backup ta
Then you have permanently broken your camera
Another lesson in reading before flashing...
The front facing camera still working...
*Sigh*
And no, there is still no way to fix it if there ever will be (My guess is that Sony might fix the unlock process, but I don;t think there will ever be a fix for already broken unlocked phones)

No expert on the issue myself, far from it, but source, documentation, anything. Apparently the device, hardware and software, is pretty heavily protected making it hell to reverse/figure out. Especially without any documentation or code to help.
Camera is programmed into TA and spoiled when unlocking bootloader. Only Sony can program it in another way.

So is a kind of security, if you touch it you will lost the warranty, or something like that. I hope will leak something from Sony a soon as is possible because I don't understand why is so restricted.
Where the solution???
Hi everyone!
I'm from Russia , bought informal unit of Hong Kong ...
because the curve warning on the forum when you unlock the bootloader was lost functionality of the camera ... (((
as a result of treatment in support of Sony in Russia , not in what they do not recognize the fact that in this case the recovery is not possible even a special brand programmer!!!
I 'm not talking about warranty repairs , as I understand it - Sony does not solve the problem even for a money!!!
My question is why such a silence, it's okay to sell unsuitable for repair device software error, for a lot of money ???
I know any device from Samsung, you can bring back to life from any state by the brand programmer, but it NOT Sony XPERIA Z1 ...
black square
Hurray! after the upgrade to version C6903 14.2.A.0.290, rear camera began to work correctly ... :victory:
BUT ... what to do with black square of the front camera??? wait for the next update???
What the F..K??? F...king Sony!
top 2 cm of my touch skin is not working , it happens before but when i re-flashed it it works now happened again even i reflashed it with existenz rom , cm 11 and finally stock rom 4.3 but nothing happened
my phone is out of warranty and i just want to make sure it is hardware problem
Thanks
Hi,
No need to open two threads with the same problem and question
It is a hardware issue I'm afraid.. So you can repair this yourself (or someone with knowledge) by buy a front screen+digitizer
Or ofcourse go to the service center and hope for the best..
~~ Regards

Send your phone for repair. Pink hue is a very well know hardware defect, HTC will replace your camera module for another model.

I had the same issue with the camera blur. I actually sent in my phone and got a new one, but the blur stayed. It could just be that our phones were manufactured with cheaper parts, or that we were just very unlucky.
The only thing that finally fixed my camera was installing a custom rom. I installed liquidsmooth and the blur went away, which suggests to me that this is probably a software issue. Since your warranty's expired, this would be the route I'd suggest you go.
Here's a link for unlocking the bootloader: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-unlock-the-htc-one-bootloader-xda-developer-tv/
Note: You'll need to download the sdk tools for android here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools
Here's a link for rooting and installing a custom recovery: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-htc-one-m7-and-install-recovery-xda-developer-tv/
Hope this helps.
Please i cannot take clear pictures with my htc one m7 back camera. Tried using it but its blur and i also notice my phone vibrating each time i try to take pictures.
Hi there, my camera is having a real trouble right now.
I take my phone from the box and get the update from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3.
I did it.
Then I used like my daily phone but... the camera didn't Focus, manual or auto focus, just can't focus.
I did a wipe... Still the same problem.
I did a re-install of the 4.0.3 ROM. Still have problems.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Sorry about my english. I'm from Argentina.
If you've already wiped and re-flashed OOS, then it's likely a hardware issue.
I would contact OnePlus's warranty service prior to opening up the phone and trying to fix it yourself.

That's something that I don't want to read.
God... What a luck.
Thanks mate =/
I've got the same problem. I wiped not the sdcard data on the phone (storage/emulated/0) but everything else I wiped with TWRP as I updated to the latest OOS 5.0.3: Problem still exists, nothing solved. The phone is running fine, but the camera doesn't autofocus, every picture is blurry.
Has someone information for me, on what to expect, when I contact the OnePlus support with this problem? Or has anyone tried to repair it by himself/herself?
I had same issue around 6 months back. Its a hardware issue so don't waste your time flashing different roms like i did. Then i went to OnePlus Exclusive Store and they checked my phone and they told me that, they will fix it for FREE (even if your phone is out of warrenty) its a well known issue for 3 & 3T which OnePlus noticed a year back, as many users started facing this. If you are facing same issue then just go to the service center and get it fixed (it wont take more than an hour)
Tip: There is a third party company called Regenersis, which is authorised service center for OnePlus and many other brands, you can get it fixed here as well.
Cheers!
Same problem for me, sent to repair under warranty.
If you shake the phone the focus point will change? this is what happens to me, for a couple of months I was shaking the phone every time that I was taking a picture, sometimes focus was in the right place and I could take the picture

Yes, slight tapping of the phone in the palm of my hand sometimes made the phone focus for one time...
Thank you guys for your helpful answers! So I will try to contact the support. I'm in Germany and do hope to get the same good service as you did.

Hi folks, I asked OnePlus for a repair and they handled this quite well: My phone was back after eight days, now my camera is focusing again.
But now I'm questioning myself (and you, too )...:
A) What was the reason for this defect in the first place... Is there anything I can do to avoid it happening again?
B) I used different versions of the modded Google camera app in the past, but now I'm hesitating to install it again: could anything of this app might have damaged the focus of the camera module? Maybe the app tried to focus the camera out of its working range...?

A) Probably just a random hardware failure. It happens. Not much you can do about it. It's a mechanical component (the few left on phones these days) and can fail on day one, or not fail for years. Don't drop the phone too much, is probably the best you can do! lol
B) I doubt it was the fault of the Google camera app. I've been using the Google camera mod for a long time, with no issues.

I used a couple different builds, but haven't messed with it for a very long time. I put 5.1.018Arnova8G2-V1.3 on there a long time ago (over a year) and haven't updated it since.
EDIT: I have no better explanation for my lack of updating the Google Cam mod, other than I just fell out of the loop. Your question made me realize how far that mod has come during that time! I just installed the recent version 6.1.021 by Arnova8G2 and giving it a try.
