HTC One M8: How do I get the cameras to work again?

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 11:46:44 -0700

I have had this phone for 2 months and both cameras stopped working. I try opening the app and it instantly dies and goes back to the home screen. Also on snapchat the screen shows up black and will not show anything that the lens would be showing.

HTC One M8: Device will not power on after battery ran dry?

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 06:11:46 -0700

My HTC One M8 will not charge or power up. The phone ran out of charge one evening (first time I let it do so, previously I had always put it on the charger prior to complete battery drain). I hooked it to the charger and the red "charging" LED would not turn on. I've tried several different chargers and power outlets, the phone is four months old, it's never been dropped nor has it ever been wet. I do not know if it is charging, as I have not been able to get it to power on since. The only odd thing I've noticed (besides it not functioning) is that when I plug the charger cable into the phone, an amber LED will light for a few brief seconds. I have tried a soft reset and I've also tried the steps for battery recalibration.

HTC One M8: Phone won't charge, charge slot burned

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 03:03:05 -0700

The other day charging my phone, my phone charger ended up burning my charging chip inside my HTC M8. The phone still works but when attempting to turn it on, the phone just keeps showing it is at 0% even with multiple different tries using different chargers. Looking inside the charging slot you can clearly see the chip is toasted. Is this replaceable and or fixable? I rather fix it, even if it's by someone else than to buy an entire new phone.

Thanks ahead

HTC One M8: Power button not working.

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 04:17:23 -0700

Hi, my girls phone recently started doing this weird thing where it appears that the power button is being pressed down even though the button isn't being press or stuck in the pressed position. I order a replacement part, the daughter board that has the power button on it and after I did it appeared to be working correctly. Then about a day or so later the power button stopped working all together. Not sure what the issue might be other than a bad part but I find it strange that it was working and then just went out all together.

HTC One M8: Rear camera's and flashlight not working

Fri, 24 May 2019 22:47:34 -0700

At first the camera app would just shut down, so of course I restarted the phone. Then the camera app was working but it was fixed in selfie mode. I was not able to use the rear camera or the flash light. The rest of the phone is working just fine but I can't access the rear camera of the phone in apps either.

When I press the four circle icon the the camera app, it allows me to choose between the selfie cam (This one is selected) and adding a camera. When I choose to add a camera I get the option to add photo booth.

I already tried to restore the default camera setting but it didn't help.

HTC One M8: How do I replace rear camera on HTC One M8?

Sat, 26 Oct 2019 10:01:39 -0700

When any camera app is launched, the phone makes a buzzing sound and the image vibrates. It's as if there was a mechanical zoom or image stabilizer system that had become possessed. Without warranty, I figure I would attempt a DIY repair.

HTC One M8: How to Replace Rear Camera Module?

Wed, 27 Mar 2019 02:02:40 -0700

Short story, my rear main camera on my HTC one m8 is faulty. I bought an oem replacement and will soon take apart my phone. Question is, how do I get the rear camera out of the duo camera set up? I know how to take out the motherboard etc, but In photos of teardowns it seems that the rear camera and the extra duo camera sensor are connected together, and I am unsure how to remove my faulty main camera and then install the correct one. If any body knows what needs to be plugged in or can present theories of what is needed to be connected for re-installation I would be very thankful. Thanks.

I recently replaced the vibrator in my HTC M8 and when I put it back together the cameras didn't work on any app and the proximity sensor is always stuck at the maximum proximity. I took it apart again and made sure all the cables were plugged in and secure. The flash doesn't work either

HTC One M8: Extremely Dark Screen on HTC One m8

Tue, 19 May 2015 21:57:05 -0700

I bought a screen replacement for htc one m8 and received it

yesterday. I also bought a new rear housing. I disassembled the

phone with no problem. After that I tried to reassemble the phone.

When I did that the phone was perfectly fine the touch screen was

fully functioning. However, the selfie camera was green and the front facing camera was black so i disassembled the phone reconnected the cameras. (Turns out that I didn't take off the film that was covering the camera). After reassemble The screen turned on and then went completely dark. It's on but, you can't see anything with out bright light. Touch function also work. Disassembled again and reassemble thinking that maybe one of my cables was loose. The screen of the phone is still dark. How do I fix this problem?

HTC One M8: Phone not powering on, only red charging light.

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 02:49:30 -0700

Hi there,

I have just bought a HTC One M8 that had many issues. It would not power on and when I plugged it in, half of what looked like a battery icon and then a load of colors appeared on screen (the display was damaged) I opened it up and replaced: the battery, the SD card and volume flex, charging port flex and LCD display. I put it all back together with no problems but now when I plug it in, all I get is a red light and nothing on the display. I thought the display could be defective because nothing was coming up so I plugged in the old one and I still get a blank screen. I have searched everywhere and I don't know what could be wrong. I have heard that if you charge it with a quick charge charger for 10minutes and hold some buttons down, you can re calibrate the board and it may turn on but I don't have a quick charge charger and have tried pressing the buttons with my standard charger and have had no luck. I would like to know what other people think before I buy a charger. Any ideas what's wrong?
