[Q] Motorola Atrix HD Camera failed to initialize

I have looked and looked on this forum for a potential solution to this problem but to no avail, The only thing i found was for the Atrix 4G so i thought i would start my own thread.
The problem is my Atrix HD MB886 rear camera will not initilize, whenever i click on on the camera app, it stays black for a little while the says Camera failed to initialize.
I was a little curios so i have installed a L.E.D app and a ''Mirror'' app on the phone, the L.E.D works just fine and my front facing camera works just fine, however the rear one still has this problem, i bought the phone second hand from ebay and it had this problem, when i first got the phone it was not rooted, bootloader locks stock ROM etc, i have since rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader and currently running AOSB 4.4 Kitkat custom ROM.
If anyone can shed some light on this situation or try to help that would be great....
Many thanks!

If you need any more information please ask

Have you done a full wipe or format of everything, manually fastbooted back to stock (not using RSD; doesn't matter what stock), and tried it then? If yes, then you might be crap outta luck and have a bad camera module. If it makes you feel any better, my headphone jack went out about a week after I unlocked my bootloader.....but that's what a Defy is for .
You're not misssing that much, the camera quality ranges from medicore to suck....maybe good with perfect lighting and nothing moving all that much....it does the job, but barley good enough.

Yeah I have done all that, when I bought the phone it was completely as if you had bought it direct from a store brand new no modifications etc, since then I have done the formats and wipes etc etc, what I'm now wondering is how easy it would be to change the camera module, is it soldered at all? Or just unclick the ribbons and swap it out, the main reason for the camera is I just moved to the USA and like to take pictures to send back to my family in England, it would be great if I could get this working some how

Not to worry too much however I have installed camera MX and that allows me to take photographs from my front camera quality ain't a big issue it would be nice to get the rear camera working though

Never paid attention to the camera when looking at teardowns. IIRC, it can be done, just might be a pita.

Camera won't focus at distance

Hi guys,
Just had my phone 'repaired' by a phone shop, but camera only wants to focus nearby, not at a distance. Does anyone know why? Is there anything I can do?
Already tried reflashing roms, didn't change anything.
They changed the camera unit
I'm running android 4.4.2 sense 6
Front camera is fine.

I think have you camera moduler problem. Replace new one.

[Q] [camera] pink spot

hello guys, is anyone experiencing this issue with both the z3c cameras? i've noticed that the problem seems to be partially related to the white balance and exposure and it's also a common deal with many other smartphones and tablets cameras (not just sony branded ones). i've tried with all the shooting modes possible and with 3th part camera apps as well but the pink spot at the center of the picture is still there.
i was wondering if it was a common issue (software maybe) or my unit was damaged,in this case i will give my device back to sony.
here some samples:

Looks exactly like the pink spot in my Z2 tablet's pictures.

Here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/questions-belong-t2868300

I'm having the same issue and apparently Clove doesn't cover return shipping costs which is pretty frustrating.
EDIT: it also seems to disappear later in the day.

Got my Z3C today, no pink spot on mine.

I'm getting the Pink Spot too, but I think it only started happening after I dunked my phone in the water...
degraaff, can you take a photo of something white? Thanks!

This is a common "problem" the camera app and post-processing will almost remove it. To see it go in diagnostics (you have to switch the developer mode) and thn camera, so you see unprocessed camera picture. I don't think it is a defect, most smartphones suffer from it.

Hoping that Sony will fix it somehow, as I am planning to get a Z3C too..

Have it on HTC one too. It should be the ISO value in dark
Questions dont belong in General discussion

But it is related to the design of the sensor, iPhone also exhibit it some more than others but it is normally corrected by the software as it is normal.

Apparently mine does also have a pink spot, ever so slightly in my test picture:

I'm also getting the pink spot.
Has Sony officially said anything about this issue yet?
I just bought the phone 2 days ago...I'm gonna see if I can get it exchanged.

Replacing the m7 camera with a different type

Hi,
As most of you know, for many people the HTC One m7 has a pink/purple camera issue, likely caused by overheating. Bearing this in mind, i opened up my HTC and replaced the camera with another original camera module and added some extra copper tape to conduct some heat to the middle panel and store extra heat as shown in the pink/purple fix tread. After putting my One back together the exact same issue was still present. Now to come to my actual question; is it possible to replace the m7 camera module with a non-original camera? i.e. the camera from a samsung s4? I have not much insight into the software and hardware possibilities. I am willing to try anything if you have a good idea, i can solder quite well and i can follow any software editing guides. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
Regards,
Morris

Whoa
Good and great experiment
It can happen as you can see htc m8 & m8 eye are almost same except camera software also twin just camera module libs are changed
Yes you can camera physically but i don't think you will get software support as m7 is old now for developer's
You can try thid one take m8 eye camera + software libs
Ask m8 developer's about porting that lib module to m7

Thats sounds like a great idea, i will look into that.
However i looked around and it seems that the HTC One mini 2 rear camera is a much better physical fit than the HTC One M8 for the M7
Also, the rear camera from the HTC One Max and Mini are the same. This camera seems to also physically fit into the M7. Even more likely so, because it is also a 4MP camera, if you look at the images you can see the M7 camera has some extra chips though, I'm not sure what those do.
I had inserted the images into this message to show you, but XDA-forums wont allow me to post links.
Please see for yourself.

I am looking into replacing my M8 camera with the M8 Eye camera. However, I am having a difficult time finding an M8 Eye camera sensor for sale. Do you have any idea where one would locate this part?

I would try Ebay, might also worth to ask in the correct forum This is the M7 forum. I'm sure guys in the M8 forum could help you find one.
Good luck

Haha good point. Thank you for the quick reply. Do you happen to know which lib files are necessary for camera operation? Furthermore, when "porting" lib files does anything special need to be done to them, or can I simply copy them from the phone that the camera was taken from and paste them in their respective directory?

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I just brought an HTC One M7 back to life after it having been dead for years, and it's got the purple camera issue.
I started looking for a replacement camera from another model, and went searching to see if anyone had tried this. Do you have anything to report? I'd love to hear it, if so.

Black Spots on camera

Hi Guys
Its being a year with my Z...had lot of problems
But This one is major now,Camera got some weird black spots
Any solution for it?
Regret buying this phone
I've done evrythng...my lens is not scratched...but the ports of usb and earphones are damanged

brother, we're in the same boat.. although you're using Z but it's same as my ZL. Currently i have the same issue as yours but i'll fix it by replacing the camera part..
Now, i'm afraid that the camera would be damaged again, so i use Sony QX-10 as alternative.
