Camera issue (stuck in solarized effect)

---

The camera on my Inspire has just recently in the past couple days started showing everything in the Solarized effect. I checked all the settings and everything is how its supposed to be. I have googled this issue and have read a couple articles on the topic but I have yet to see a solution.

My phone is rooted, first with Revolution and now with stock optimized ROM.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Did you drop the phone recently? I had a customer that has the same issue and it happened as soon as they dropped it.

Yes it dropped the other night out of my lap onto the hardwood floor. Fell about a foot down.

My kids have dropped it before a couple times but this is the first time this issue has come up.

Possible Fix

I was having the same issue on my Inspire.

Try this; With the camera on, push the camera lens back towards the phone applying just enough pressure without breaking the lens.

I think when we dropped our phones, the CMOS or wiring may have come lose.

I am back in working order now, hopefully this works for you also.

This just happened to me today as well. I tried this method and it worked! Thank you so much. I gave you a thanks!

I was reading some of the other posts ended with people needing to send their phones back to HTC. So I was pretty sure that was the route I was going to take. Very pleased that I don't have to do that!
