Ugh, I have the same damn problem - lots of riding on my motorcycle. Will bring it in today for a replacement, but now I'm considering moving away from this phone as I don't have time to keep S-OFF'ing, etc. every time the hardware craps out :|

Just got my M8 2 days ago, Is this affecting a certain variant or all M8's

I don't ride or anything however, it's good to know that the camera module is fragile.

Does anyone know who makes the M8's camera modules?

Maybe informing HTC about this enough will get them to do RMA's to swap the module just like the M7 pink/purple thing delima

Attempted Fix/Thread Revive

I have the same problem as all of you, hopefully we can revive this thread and fix our phones! I messed around with the camera when buzzing and as noted in this thread, it seems that part of the rear camera is messed up, in fact, one can hear rattling when shaking the phone. I found that applying pressure to the rear camera, though of course not recommended, stops the vibrating and allows the camera to work (sometimes). Applying Pressure to the duo camera does not fix the problem and custom roms, cm based that don't use the extra sensor, still have the problem. Thus the common variable is the rear camera (I hope :) ). So, I eliminated the duo camera extra sensor as a reason for the failure. Its bound to be either:

1. the glue holding down the rear camera has lost its grip to to drops and or vibration from motorcycle rides or,

2. constant vibration, dropping, etc, has caused part of the camera module to malfunction.

With these two theories, I have decided to buy an oem rear camera module off ebay, and I will install it into my phone. The problem is either the camera or ruined glue, so, considering that the camera module comes with a sticky surface for installation, this fix should theoretically solve the problem, assuming its as simple as I imagine.

I will post some screenshots and results after the camera replacement, which will take place March 14-15, March 21-22, or March 28-29. I can't make any promises because I have no idea when my ebay order will come in. The camera module itself is scheduled to arrive within a few days, but the replacement camera lens (I broke mine while tinkering around) is scheduled to arrive from Hong Kong in who knows how long.

I hope most of you were able to get replacements from Verizon or HTC. Alas I have some physical wear and tear along with custom software on my phone that makes me skeptical about going to either, so that is not an option. For those with broken cameras, I hope I can help you, and if anybody else has attempted this, I would be glad to hear your results.

how to fix camera buzz sound

in the name of allah

first of all i 'm sorry 4 my english.

the problem is sometimes when the htc M8 falls or be on motocycle or any things which moving up & down or vibrate ......... the rear camera (4 ultra pixel)became blurry & a buzz sound appears when the camera is on .so i fix my M8 which have the same problem but unfotunetly you will have to open the M8 for fix it but it's very easy.

1-open the M8 cover (search in google)

2-remove the camera cover (very easy)

attch 1

3-put some piece of tape like in the image (red color =tape piece)

attach 2

4-finally its very important test the camera focus take some photoes

when the buzz sound disappears, the camera clear & focus work fine cover the camera & close the M8

until now my M8 camera work fine is like new

mounted mine last night on the way to see Sublime in concert. Didn't wear my glasses, so the fact that all the shots seemed out of focus, while weird, wasn't totally out of the question. But when i got home in a quiet room i heard the buzzing. Now it's toast as far as pics are concerned!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
It's not clear exactly what you're doing with tape. I just see the word "tape" an arrow pointing to the camera. Can you clarify? So it's worked so far?

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/rwjfe6cgCnU[/YOUTUBE]

Is this what we're taking about? You can feel the vibration in your hand. Are we saying this only happens while mounted to a bike or that after mounting some time this becomes a permanent problem? Seems permanent so far for me. I did mount to my bicycle and ride often.

Has anyone successfully re-secured the camera after digging in there or replacing with a new camera? If so, details please. Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe-blo:
Work for me!! I did exactly what fares-milev wrote and everything work fine now. If you look closely on picture 3 you can see a black cercle and this is what you have to stabilize with tape but be careful to dont put tape in front of the lens. The black cercle is separate of the aluminium square and the buzzing sound come from the cercle because its lousse...

If you arn't patient this is not for you! You have to deal with tiny pieces and you must have a good dexterity.

Good luck

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juntjoo:
Thanks. Good to know. I've had to put this project on hold for now. I started it but in the middle turned angry monkey on my phone popped a connector bracket whatever piece ruining the motherboard, so had to get a new phone so good bye for now m8 community. Tho I'll be back to revive this as a backup especially since I've got all new parts. Hot pink housing. Not my usual color choice but how do you pass up brand new shiny metallic pink HTC one m8?? Might be too hot for me but it'll be my secondary to look at phone and use as a security cam and other...

Anyway, correct. One needs PATIENCE, and good eyes or lenses and smooth moving fingers. I used to all the above but now all the above times .5. Funny thing, if you Google it you'll discover this phone has the WORST ease of dismantling/user serviceability rating.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naoneo:
Just want to post after fixing this issue on a friends camera.

by adding tape the lens mechanism you are not fixing the issue, you are hiding it and impacting the ability to properly focus.

The real issue is even more simple to fix, and results in complete repair and full focus.

1) Open the phone

2) take off the lens cover

3) You'll notice the little lens inside has a black housing with 4 tabs around the outside of it

4) This is the screw on cam, what you hear vibrating is a result of vibrations to the phone making this cap loose!!!!

5) Carefully rotate the cap clockwise until it's tight - do not bruit force is, just go gently until it's tight

6) put phone back together you are done.

My guess is, when the phone is placed somewhere that has micro vibration, such as the pocket of a car door with the car door speaker playing, or mounting it on a motorbike, the micro vibrations slowly but surely work that lens retaining cap loose to a point where when the phone attempts to focus it cant and in moving to try and focus, the retaining cap vibrates, causing blurryness and that blurryness cascades into a non-recoverable issue.

Tightening the retaining cap on this phone I was handed today, completely fixed the issue, phone now focuses and functions normally, no noise, and its owner says it's taking pictures clearer than it has in a long time.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastbootm7:
Had the same issue with my M8. Camera started buzzing when I mounted it on my bike's handlebar.. the screw thing didn't work for me, though I managed to put some tape on the sides and it worked.

Thanks a lot for the solution. :) Has been 2 days and it has been working like new..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fandango68:
For those that cannot open that little camera cover to re-tighten the camera lens housing, here is what I did...

Trust me, the camera unit is damaged. It needs to be replaced. It's module 54H00624-00M. You can get replacements from eBay or other camera repairers.

How did this happen? It could have been due to heat (do you use your phone as a dash-cam camera?) or a knock. The problem is the senso-motor inside the camera module cannot focus because the internal magnets that control and "fix" the camera focus lens in place have become too weak. As you may now, from basic school science, heat destroys magnets!

So guess what? The only solution (temporary as it will annoy you, as it did to me), is to use ANOTHER magnet to counter-act the effects of the internal camera magnets. And yes, it does work.

You need to find a small silver (not black magnets as I've tested them and they are too weak) button-like magnet and very carefully file it down to about 2mm wide and 3mm length-wise. It's a pain but it can be done. The thickness of the magnet is "ok" but you may want to file this down by half as well. You will end up with a very small grain of sand effectively. Use a friend's magnifier and holders under light, and a fine file (not emory paper, as you will loose the magnet), and file that little sucker down to about half or better, a quarter it's original size.

Now the test!

Pick up the magnet using tweezers and some sticky substance, like BlueTak or even glue and hold it about 7 to 8 o'clock along the outer edge of the rear camera. Open your camera app and test the focus.

You will hear buzzing sounds, and the camera motor trying to focus automatically.

Move the magnet gently around the outside perimeter of the camera lens (there is like a raised groove to help you not scratch the lens cover itself!) and you will suddenly see the camera auto focuses correctly, without any buzzing sounds.

Take a photo!

Test and try again and again until you are confident of where the best location of the magnet is meant to go.

Once you have it, drop a TINY drop of super-glue on the magnet's rear and carefully hold it where you had the camera focus correctly.

Patience, trial and error, you will get it and boom - your phone and camera are all working again!

Enjoy

Ofcourse blinking LED changes color when there are unread sms, unanswered phone calls or reminders but still it would be nice to be reminded with sound of unread sms.

here is that file modified for t-mobile users, this is how you use it:

1) Make sure you are S off and preferably super cid but not required.

2) I would recommend having the Rom of you choosing (sense) on the SD card already (Sky Dragon v9.1 is what i would highly recommend http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700571)

3) Place file in the link on root of SD card

4) Place phone in boot loader and let the file extract itself and install

5) Phone will reboot, when it does so delete the file on you SD card, or remove it all together(thats what i did) cause if you don't you will be unable to get into recovery.

After that reboot into recovery and install said ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
I'm not exactly sure how or when this happened, but whenever I have no service it no longer says "No Service" on the lockscreen and pull down notification. It now says "Mother". I thought that it could have been a previous rom I was running -- Imperium v5.0. But I just changed back to Echoe V22, and it still there.

I'm running MDK bootloader, NC5 modem, Ktoonsez kernel, and TWRP recovery.

What did I do? And how can I change it back to say something other than "Mother"?

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well that's kind of creepy huh?! Lol

Im usually always on an AOSP ROM. and most all of them have the option for Carrier Labels/Network Status and you could either hide that entirely or rename it. Sounds like that is somehow hooked right into you ROM if you've never changed it over to.... Mother... Lol

Maybe an xposed module like gravity box or wanam has the option for you as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
It is pretty strange. I did a complete wipe between swapping roms. I thought that would have cleared everything up.

I think most of the xposed modules can change or hide the carrier label. That shows good as Verizon.

This is definitely a head scratcher. I wonder if I have to doing back to stock and start over...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
Yesterday, I bit the bullet and Odin'd back to stock. I'm getting pretty good at doing that now, and not so nervous that I mess something up. On the stock MDK rom, it was back to saying "No Service", but as soon as I installed Echoe, it's back to "Mother". So, it has to be rom related and not something I did!!

I suffer from the problem in s2 phone after it is installed with a charger

Begins with the phone restart alone

So do I disconnect

Is there a solution
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sounds like either the charger or the USB board in the phone. I'd replace the charger first given they're cheap/easy to get (you could always borrow someone elses just to test), then the USB board. You haven't mentioned whether you're running stock or a custom rom, so if you're running a custom rom, do a clean install of stock & test for a day or two to rule in/out a 'rom problem'.

Replacing the USB board is fairly easy (and doing it yourself will save you at least $50 in labour Vs paying a mobile repair shop to do it); KeithRoss39 has a guide in General (search for 'replacing USB charger board') which has all the info you need to get this done quickly/easily/cheaply (~US$10).
