[Q] Camera Screen Freeze - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I turn on my camera, whatever the camera sees when it first turns on remains on the screen. I cannot see what I am taking a picture of. It will take a picture, but whatever I take a picture of now remains on the screen. I cannot see anything else except for the previous picture I took. This is only for still photos. Video works fine. Has anybody ever experienced this? If so, can I fix it?

Stripes taking photos on htc kaiser

I have a htc Kaiser and there is a problem with the external 3Mp camera. When you start the application to take photos, then appears two parallel stripes, one half yellow hald red, and other below half green half blue. This happens only in the external ( 3 Mp ) camera, not in the 3g one. How I can fix it ????

Clean the lense
I have the same problem.
Tried cleaning the lens, didn't work.
Hard reset didn't work either.
Seems like a hardware fault with the camera.
Wait, are you saying they appear in the "viewfinder" of the app, or the actual photos?
Post an example shot please?
Mostly, It's cameras bug.

Was that supposed to be an answer to my question or a response to someone else?
Really, it's not possible to say whether this is an unusual "feature" or a bug without more info. The way the original poster describes it, it sounds like it might be some unusual framing assist feature in the live preview. No one seems to be willing to say whether it is in the previews or if it is in the actual pictures taken. (I know I have seen the Kaiser pictures thread, and they look pretty good other than some obvious deficiencies in the debayering algorithm that cause "maze" patterns to appear in certain situations, which is a common problem with some of the older/simpler debayering algorithms.)

yes, good question. does it look like this when you view it on your computer, or is it only when it's sized down on your device?
I can see the stripes while taking the picture and they are also part of the saved image. Viewed on the TyTN II and on a PC.
The camera was working fine then all of a sudden just started showing stripes.
Attached are some photos.
Looks like i might have to send the TyTN II for repair.
I also noticed that when you take the battery cover off, it seems like the camare can be taken out, so it may have moved and not making a good contact.

lol my first glance and it looked like you were targeting things with a crosshair. yea thats different than the lines i hought you were talking about, you need to send that back for repair.
Yeah, definately something wrong there, likely broken hardware.
Also I have the same problemna!
This happened to mine too, after working fine for about a month. Seems like a common problem, interesting it shows up after time too. I sent mine in for repair/replacement but it may happen again....
Even my own, for a month everything was ok, then is the line appeared
Same Problem
My camera also did this. I changed the flicker adjustment in the camera settings to 60 hz from auto and it went away, only to reappear again. Again, I changed the flicker adjustment, this time to aut, and it went away again. Very strange. It appears I can paly with the flicker adjustment in the camera settings and make it go away, at least for a while. It appears to be a common problem, likely software related.
i too
hi i too experiance the same problem.......
is there any one to help us... please post a geniune reply to our problem

[Q] i9000 camera focus problem

Hi,
The camera on my I9000 never takes clear pictures.
I can see it trying to focus, but is scans from unfocussed, through the focused point and then on past it, and fails to stop when in focus.
Have there been any reported problems like this? If so, how does one fix them?
I posted about this with mine the other day. it always seems to be just out of focus but I came to the conclusion that I am expecting to much of a 5mp phone camera.
Try using another app from the market to see if it works. If that fails best bet to fix this is to factory restore your phone.
Use the [mod] hacked camera.apk this will do the trick : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980835
I found a work around. Instead of pressing only the take picture button, i now tap the screen to focus a particular area. When it goes green, then tap the take pic button.

Camera Frozen??

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.

[Q] Camera Issue (not purple tint)

Recently my m7s camera has been buggy. When taking a picture with the front or back facing camera the viewfinder doesn't update, it shows the first image from when the camera app was opened or when the cameras are switched. Videos work but there is a slight moment of a frozen image at the beginning of the video, another mention is before a video it says anther app is using the camera and is being terminated now, I don't know if this means I have a virus or if it is just a bug. I'm not rooted.
Any support would be appreciated.
When I use the front facing count down it takes a picture like normal I'm real time but the viewfinder doesn'tuupdate, it happens in every app that uses the camera so I'm not sure if it is hardware or software that's the problem.

erase cache/dalvik cache and see if the problem persist, if yes try a factory reset. If the issue still there after a factory reset its probably an hardware problem.

Front camera delay between shots

Hi, when I'm using the stock camera software on my up-to-date, non-rooted A2, with the front facing camera, many times, it's impossible to click on the "taking a picture" button right after taking a picture, it's like frozen for half a minute or so.
It's very annoying since my gf is obsessive with taking different angles of the same photo, and it keeps us smiling like stupid for a long time without being able to take pictures...
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Edit: I think that a viable workaround may be an app that can take high quality picture with the front camera, and is able to take a few pictures in a row (I downloaded some, but some of them shows me the picture after taking it, instead of going back to the camera screen, and some seems to lower the quality of the photos compare to the stock app).
Many thanks!
