Just wondering if you guys have had any problems with the desire camera in this regard. So programs/games that have you take a pic (like facebook to post, or worldofphoto, etc) will call up the cam, but once a pic is taken my desire cam just left me in the camera app?
I switched to the stock camera app which works fine with the programs. However, I HATE the stock camera, esp the lack of shutter sound removal.
Also, when I pushed the stock camera back onto the phone it broke my desire camera app so now I have two on there, but only the stock works.
-does the desire camera just not work like this right now? havent really seen much about it.
-is there a way to have both camera apps work on the phone (that way I can use the stock cam for program-related camera work and desire for just plain photo taking)?
-if not, how do I remove the desire camera???
thx
nope, doesn't work well with other programs yet. That's the reason I got rid of it.
Search for the originalcamera.apk in the forums. Flash that. Or just reflash your ROM. No wiping necessary.
the desire cam works fine with goggles and shopsavvy for me. cant speak for facebook (i must be the only one left w/o an account) or others. if i recall right, i had issues when i flashed cyans latest 506, but reinstalling via recovery sorted it out.

hey ya i pushed the original camera but now i have both the original and the desire camera on the phone - how do i remove the (non functional) desire cam?
thx
Everytime I try to use the front facing camera on my Droid 3 it says "unable to intialize" and I have to power off the phone to reset the camera. I've found lots of people that have had the same problem (why didn't I find these posts BEFORE I bought the phone??) but I've not found any solutions.
I have not made any modifications to the phone. It is not rooted. It says my system is up to date.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thank you for any help I can get. I am beyond frustrated
Factory reset? Probably a software problem.

Tried that (more than once, just to be sure). No luck.
Any other suggestions?
Which version of software do you have? Go to Settings, and go to the bottom and tap that and look at the version (post a screenshot or picture so we can tell).

It is System Version 5.7.906.XT862, Android Version 2.3.4
(Sorry for no screenshot,I tried a handful of screenshot apps and didn't have any luck with any of them working right.)
I have the same problem with minomoto
Do you have any third-party apps that use the ff camera? For example, have you installed any anti-theft security apps installed that may be set to use the camera if somebody has stolen the phone? Is it possible that one of those running in the background is not releasing the camera for other apps?

I didn't install anything like that and I don't think any of the bloatware has anything like.
This same issue suddenly struck my Droid 3 a week ago. I'm running stock .906, rooted, most Verizon bloat removed. Never had an issue with any camera apps accessing front or back cameras, then suddenly my front camera either shows black or won't initialize. I searched the web pretty extensively, but haven't found any definite fix. I've tried clearing the system cache and deleting the camera app's data with no result. I'm hoping to avoid a hard reset if possible, as I hate having to set everything up again, and by the reports I've seen it's only helped a few people.
You could create another ROM slot and try that from Safestrap. But it might be the hardware going pfffftt.
I know some others have had the same issue I believe they had to sbf. If nothing else if the issue survives an sbf you will know it's hardware

Problem seems to have shown up after Google+ apps started to populate phone.
PLease someone mod the lollipop camera to work as kitkat camera and make it also 5MP please request :crying:
I'd like to correct you here. Any camera app, as far as I know can't change your camera to 5MP unless that's what the hardware is inside the phone. The best any app can do is just help you adjust finer details and get nicer effects. That's it.
Lollipop is just a software update not hardware !! The camera is just as good as seen on kitkat. If you are facing any problem try to reflash the ROM or try any third party camera app as there are many available.

Hello guys. I installed the new official ROM, and Snapchat looks distorted.
There is no nav bar but Snap seems like it has one, but is painted black. I can provide screenshots if you do not understand what I mean.
Is there any way to fix it, or I should go back to the old roms?

did u fix your issue ?
I have the same case - more that 10 firmwares used to test my camera 5.1 till 6.0, no matter, Stable,DEV and other= black screen.
After reboot camera looks like works, but till anattempt to make picture, camera going to stuck, with message - no response from app camera...any kind of app.
I bought new camera module, and change it = no result.
Looks like camera module works well, but some kind of issue with buffer in K3 note. It can't save picture in the memory.
actually tried to luch some kind of debug mode on K3 note.

Just checked and no problem, the stock camera app opens and is ready in less than a second. The current rom I have on my (originally) at&t model is the korean open 409N also.
Maybe check the lg sites for a newer (or even older) version of the camera app? If it's not the app, and everything is pretty much stock, it may unfortunately be a hardware issue...
Hello, any reference where and what exactly firmware I needed? I mean I am fine on downgrading to pie but didn't know the process of doing it. Btw here's the image of my version of my V40

I think you've misunderstood. I'm not suggesting you change the firmware (I have the exact same firmware you do (well I have 30d and u have 30e - a security update), and no problem with camera app).
I was suggesting you try a different version of the CAMERA APP. LG makes changes to the camera app and makes the *.apk available to download, you'll have to search for LG camera app to find it.
It does seem very unusual you'd be experiencing such a lag when opening the camera app though. You'd almost have to bet that something else you've installed (not stock) that is causing the delay.

Well, in the interest of helping you narrow it down, I can tell you I just used lgup to install the latest korean open kdz (the one you're on, 30e). My camera app opens as it always has with other roms, in less than a second.
so, anyway, I think you can rule out it being anything to do with the specific rom...

thank you currently downgraded to pie but seems the problem exist. It's a camera hardware fault.
I had a verizon V40 and the camera went to crap with the A10 upgrade. Viewfinder was laggy, very similar to what you describe. Also, I think it was telephoto that would show parallel lines across any bright \ white objects. This was a stock rom, stock cam app, and the problem continued after multiple factory resets. Found it hard to believe it was a hardware issue, as it happened immediately after the A10 upgrade. I second year promised the phone...while I did get a brand new phone, it was the US unlocked version. So, as you know, that means no advanced calling (video) within the verizon dialer app and no vvmail.
Found that this GCam mod works. Install the app, then copy the XML (you have to remove the ".txt" at the end, xda wont let me upload it otherwise) to "/internal storage/GCam/Configs/" (make the folders) and then open the app, double-tap the black space to the right of the shutter button, then choose "restore". The app should then work perfectly, with all the cameras available, and no lag in the viewfinder.
hello the problem is solved by replacing the camera. its a hardware fault
