Camera hardware issue? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Since yesterday I have this problem: when I open any camera app I can ear a sound from inside like "TRRR-TRRR"... I never heard such a thing before. It sounds like if the lens are trying to focus, but they can't.
And actually they can't focus anything. I tried to change ROM, but nothing changed.
So I'm afraid I have to change camera... Is it possible?
Can I try anything else before to spend some money or throw the phone away?
Thanks a lot!

Anyway, that's what a pic look like:

i been experiencing the same thing since my coworker accidently bumped on me and i dropped my phone. i think its a hardware issue not software. unless someone here can chime in. im planning on buying a rear camera part on ebay. but it might take a while.
i do hope someone here do give an input. if they had the same issue and what they did to remedy it.

Detachable macro lens?

Being a "new user" (lurker) I can't post a link :thumbdown: but the brand is BrainyTrade sold in Amazon . com/dp/B005C3CSXC/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Does anybody know if it would work with our phone?
The description says it should work with any camera phone, (and the lens has to be smaller than 9.5mm) but I wanted to know if somebody has tried it on the t989, or other similar phone.
Thanks.

It's only 8 bucks, why not try it? I might. I'm a bit of a shutterbug, I have a camera but my phone is much better so I might just pick up one of these myself.
I had one for my Nexus one.
Here is a sample pic i took with it:

[Q] butterfly like patch on my DHD camera

Hi there,
I rooted my DHD a few days ago, flashed codefirex... everything went flawlessly as far as I could tell.
came across a few issues, had to reflash new updates...etc. the camera worked fine though.
clumsy me dropped the phone last night but didn't find any scratches or anything on the lenses or elsewhere,
anyway, after few wipes and reflashing ROM, I launched the camera app and found this butterfly shaped patch
any idea what could've caused this? noob me got no clue honestly and since I noticed it after some messing around, I gotta ask if it could be software related (sounds stupid even as I type it)

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
any input is appreciated.
P.S: I did a lot of searching and could not find any topics, maybe I did not know what to look for since English is not my first language. (more like a 10th).
Oh and this "patch" dissolves when facing a bright light, and it disappears outwards when I zoom in.

menu is cut off when viewing pictures in gallery

does this happen to anyone else when viewing pictures in gallery or any other app? if so how do you fix it?
this issue seemed to start randomly, and wasn't after a software install or update.
below is what it looks like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
no one else is having this issue?
I haven't experienced it myself, but thought I'd throw out some ideas/questions to get a better sense of what's going on. Have you changed any display settings such as the screen dpi? Are you rooted? Is this the only app that cuts off part of the screen? Does your camera app get cut off? Does it do this in both landscape and portrait? Anything else you can think of that you did right before this started?
Although not really a fix, in the meantime, I would recommend using QuickPic as a good gallery alternative.
Also, drinking weird looking beer and working on brakes may not be a good idea .

Front camera is not working...

Hello,
I ve got the MiMix2 and the front camera is just not working.
As you can see on the pictures below :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think it's a hardware problem.
What do you think ?
Someone can help me ?
If it's not even detecting a camera, chances are that it's a software issue, but it could also be a hardware issue.
What you can do is flash the latest fastboot ROM and see if it works, of not you may have to return it.

Thanks for your answer, but flashing that phone is a real pain in the ass....
And i'm pretty sure its a hardware issue. Because no one had the same problem.

Holy crap, I thought mine were bad, but yours are hilarious! Hilariously bad, that is. I'm sorry to confirm that my phone also takes really ****ty zoomed photos, but I have no fix for it. I asked in another forum if their phone also takes as bad zoomed in pictures, but they said I have problems with my eyes and that there's nothing wrong with the pictures smh. Since I got the phone mostly for the camera, this is a real deal breaker for me and I returned it. Maybe if they fix it in software in the future, I'll consider buying it again, but until then I cannot use it like this.
Edit: you *could* theoretically fix this by using another camera app, but that means you won't be able to use the 1.5 aperture
