Camera Failed Issue - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having this issue with my camera. I can take photos but can't record. I thought it was mmy sd so I put a new one in and when I select record more it still says "Camera Failed". I formatted it and its still saying the same thing... any ideas of why this is happening? Thanks

About kernels.. can someone help out or post a link on a good kernel and how to install it.. I've honestly never messed with the kernel before.

My phone has been doing this on stock ec05. I was epicless for a while and then got it fixed and was dissapointed when at a concert i started getting video camera failed messages.

If you have the native twitter app, removing it and using something else. I had the same issue with my recorder and youtube app and uninstalling twitters app fixed it. Can't remember which thread I read that in but my video player/recorder and youtube player work perfect now.

So confused

Hey idk what's happening to my Evo but since I rooted I been having issues with the camera isn't working , I tried like 8 Roms already including cyagonem, mikfroyo... now I'm running Vaelpak 3.2 remastered and I love it but camera still doesn't work, just once and after that blank again,pleasea any suggestions?

What hardware version are you? Try looking in settings under hardware information (ex 0004). Are you flashing kernels with theses roms?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Is you camera not working? Or getting the messed up colors? if you've got the purpley/green look, your camera is broken.
It's 0003 and no man I just flash the Roms, but in this one I flashed like 3 kernels, Netarchy 4.3.1,4.3.2 and still nothing wat do u suggest?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well netarchys kernels are only for sense. If you're running a sense rom right now try this stock kernel. Your camera is guaranteed to work if it doesn't then you have some problems. This is the stock #15 HTC kernel.

Have you tried flashing the stock sprint rooted rom and clearing/wiping EVERYTHING in recovery(before you flash). I would suggest you start completely from scratch man. Did you update anything while on sense roms(firmware, htc updates etc)?

Double post. Oops
No man I didn't update anything,just flashed Roms and that's it, and I think I need to go back to stock to see if it work, where can I download that Rom?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had a 0003 and had the same problem. Never did find a fix. Had to do an insurance claim. Now I have a 0004 with cm7 stable. I have flashed all the nightlies pretty much from 1 with no problem. Have not flashed a custom kernal to this phone though cause it scares me to have the same thing happen. If you find a fix please post so I can fix my 0003 and maybe sell it.

You can grab the "deodexed" or "odexed" version to test it. If this doesn't work I have one more thing we can do report back and let me know the outcome. The first mediafire link will work just fine. Make sure you wipe first before the flash.

Lol ill be here dude. The only difference between "deodexed" and "odexed" is deodexed is for theming. They're both pretty much the same so if one doesn't work then other will have same results. If that rom doesn't work then we move to the last procedure. "Operation this is bullsh*t"

have you tried restoring your oldest nandroid, in case you did one right after root, also have you tried downloading any free camera app from the market,and see if that makes your camera work

Andy 86

I'm not sure if you all are familiar with andy 86 but it's basically a Texas Instruments calculator emulator on your phone. And if you want to save a $100 its a great replacement.
I use to use it on my OG EVO and it worked flawlessly, but when I used it on my ET4G it slows down and shuts off my phone. Suggestions?

They took it off the market a while back. mind sharing the APK for it? I had it a while back, and somewhere along the road I lost it from my Ti Backups.

Zeam launcher is sexy, however, I didn't know the non-scrolling was related to touchwiz, so I will now be downloading zeam.
Cm9 doesn't have scrolling lag nor does any of the newest cm7 nightlies... however there is a flashable to incorporate the smooth scrolling mod in development.
As for the reboots its the gapps that does it and you must wait for the phone to load completely before downloading andinstalling apps and if that doest help then you'll need to wipe data in cwm and reboot

Actually it has lots of lag scrolling up and down on contacts, in manage applications, and anywhere you can scroll through long lists. It's like it is sticky. But great for an Alpha. Seems CM7 is my daily now and CM9 is my toy.

Cm9? Or 7?
Cm9 is android 4.0.3 so a lot better than other ROM's
However some quirks such as high ram etc. Also there are certain tweaks other roms don't have ie CyanogenMod Settings. I'm not too sure but I have tw, cm7, miui , and cm9 backed up on my phone and jump from them on a day to day basis

Pay no attention to Biggies delusions, he runs his Epic at 2.0 Ghz with a turbo Nitrous afterburner and also wouldn't know lag if it fell on him...LOL. Everyone else but you are reporting that it takes more effort to scroll on CM9 and doesn't scroll a lot with a quick swipe.

It was working for me on AOKP 603, since 6/03. Working on darkside UCLE2 7.1 now also. If you're having problems with Instagram on either of these ROMs then you should reflash. Just follow the directions. Curious to see if it's working on the t-mobile base now after the update.

Never had it crash on AOKP, actually. It used to crash on Darkside when I tried to view the contacts tab, but since the Instagram update before the last, it has worked fine.

Sorry if its posted anywhere but I couldn't find it. I can't get Sprint TV to load in my E4GT. I haven't used it in awhile but football season is here.
I DL from the market, open the apk to install. When I open the app, I get a screen telling me to update. Umm, wouldn't the market have the latest edition? Anyway I hit the upgrade button, then a blank screen and the a FC. Anyone else having that problem?

Hey guys, I'm on re-calk 0.2.0 and had the same upgrade message. I had a copy of an old apk for Sprint TV that I had to use to update the version when I was on GB Calk 2.9.1. I installed it this afternoon and it started right up for me with out the subscription information. Thought I would share in case it might work for you too.
