Hi guys!
first of all, sorry for my bad english!
i want to tell you my experience...
my snap's camera don't work this morning....
after few hard reset i start the google search and i read many problems with htc devices (not the snap, other) similar to my camera issue...
bad camera position on mainboard... failure solder...
after removing the back cover, i push gentle on the camera and, re-hard reset and....the camera work!!!:
i'm very happy!!!!
dont expect it to last to long. Ive had a couple have the same fate where the camera would turn technicolour when used and the phone would need to be replaced.
Tapping it helps intermittently but annoying in the long run

Hi,
I've a big camera problem with my new prophet (i-mate jamin).
This is a photo taken with the camera, you can notice the vertical line I can't kill :x
I've tried a different camera program (Coolcamera) but the result are still the same...
Do you have any suggestion before I trew it out of the window?!
up
Yikes!
It seems to me like your CMOS camera is faulty...
Time to make use of your warranty...
There seems to be not much you can do exept maybe try some other camera software just in case. (CoolCamera).
If it also displays the same line then it's a CMOS problem.
Good luck!

Yesterday I've had a nice speaking with the i-mate online helpdesk. They made me upload the Rom, but with no result. Then they suggest me the same solution you've proposed...
I brought it back to the shop and they changed it without any problem with a new one..(strange indeed..it made me think it was not the first return they had...).
Now I've a new s200 with no camera problem. Hope the random phone freeze are solved too, but I'm not so optimistic...let's see after some deeper tests...
Thanks for answering me,
andrea
I know its not that big of a deal because the camera isn't amazing but i would still like to take pictures ever so often with my phone. My camera randomly acts up for weeks at a time when all the camera picks up is green and red lines. I've tried everything from doing a soft reset, to completely replacing the rom, out of frustration i've even tried hitting it and throwing it hard agains my mattress. Has anybody experienced this problem or have any clue on how to solve it?
(i bought it on ebay so no warranty)
yes I had same problem with my herald last month. It was under warranty. Service replaced mainboard and it is ok now.
Hello Everybody
I got myself a Sony Ericsson, but after one week my Camera dosent work anymore.
When i try to activate my camera it comes with a message "Camera is unavaible"
I had tried many things:
1. factory reset without deleting SD
2. factory reset+ deleting SD
3. Tried to update with the Sony Ericsson software from my phone
4. Tried to remove SD card, and Simcard then connected again
5. Tried software updater from Sony Ericsson Support
Still getting the same error.
Its not funny to have a phone without camera.
Hopefully there is some help in here
With Kind Regards
Immanuel
Sounds like a hardware failure. Best to bring it in for a check.
I hope it's not another hardware problem we will see in many other Arc
Deleted comment... didn't read OP properly.. does sound like a h/w problem
Hello friends.
I have to report that my Arc camera "emits" some really strange noise when opening and closing the camera app (possibly is the shutter cover or something). This "problem" started just 3 days after I got the phone in my hands. No noise for the first 3 days, and I used the camera a lot...
I really hope it is not a phone construction "bug"...
Emmanueldk, my friend, did you notice any strange behaviour such as the above mentioned? Should I start to worry?
maybe your SD card was broken,try to format it,or use another one

Dude all the phones have a small ''tic or tac'' sounds when you open and close the camera,eve my N1 make that noise, it's just the ''waking the lens process'' that does this sound
Yeah, I know that this sound is normal. It stops being normal when it so very loud that can wake up a baby!
All my previous phones (N8, Galaxy S, Desire HD) had this, but the noise was there from the very first moment, and not as loud...
In Xperia Arc it came after 3 days, and is very noisy (could say abnormally loud).
That's why I mention it, just to compare situations. You never know...
Oh my! I was ready to buy an Arc but you and Immanueldk are freaking me out
SE did some hardware faults with previous models, do you remember the infamous C905 earpiece problem?
The problem is that the Arc I am getting is without warranty because its black market
You do not have to freak out my friend. It seems that at least 30-40 Arc owners wonder in this forum, and only me and Immanueldk have issues (well,mine is not an issue YET).
Chances are that you'll get a good piece.
I was also very unlucky with the Desire HD camera. Had to return to HTC8-9 days after purchase. Maybe I am cursed or something...
Well I had my phone since last friday, after 5 days Camera stopped worked.
As stated Micro SD is perfect working no problems listen to music or watching vidz. Only Camera dosent work.
Just gave it to my reseller again, because now my screen flicker and the phone freezes time to time.
I hope that this is not the same problem in the next one I get.
This is a very nice phone when it works without a doubt
I think you must have got the dud of the bunch mate cus I can't report any problems as of yet.
Fingers crossed your next one will work.
Hello,
I am new here and hope to find an answer to a problem i have with my Acer A500.
I am very happy with this tablet but when i wanted to do some video call with Skype i notice than my front camera doesn't work.
I get a green screen with a lot of noise and sometime its like i see some of my icons of my home page but a lot bigger.
Does anybody have the same problem, i want to have it fix in the shop but only when i am certain it is a hardware problem.
I don't want to miss my tablet for several weeks.
A factory reset did not make any difference.
Hey, sorry to hear that your front cam isn't working. I haven't heard of any similar issues lately. What version of Android or ROM are you using? Are you rooted? Ever dropped your tablet or anything? And lastly, have you tried using the front cam in another app such as the stock camera app? It could be a problem with Skype.
Camera
I am using Android 3.2 and my tablet is not rooted.
I am very careful with the tablet and didn't drop it.
I read somewhere that sometimes the camera socket can come lose ?
The stock camera app also doesn't work.
So, many it is just a hardware problem and i should bring it back to have it fixed.
Thats odd that you have that problem, because i have almost the same one, only thing is im rooted on cm9, and it does it on my rear facing camera....kinda something to think about
That's why i am not convinced that this is a hardware problem.
I am waiting for Android 4.0 to see if this will bring a sollution, if not i have no alternative than bring it back to the shop to have it repaired.
Maybe it is just a lose connector but it is strange that nobody has a sollution
Can anybody show me or tell me if i can check the connection with the front camera.
Is it easy to reach it when i open de back of the tablet.
Best and easiest thing to do is a factory restore, do that, and if it is still having the issue then send it in.
camera
I did a factory restore but nothing changed, so i agree that i will have to bring it back.
I just hoped for a quick fix thru software.
Thanks.
Problem + ICS install
I got ICS today everything worked fine after installation except ... the front camera.
So it definately time to go back to the shop.
Hello everyone!
Since I replaced the broken rear camera of my GT-I9505 the camera doesn't focus properly. First I thought it was a faulty replacement, but the replacement of the replacement as well as the camera from a different seller show the same behaviour:
The google drive widget for scanning docs focusses correctly, but none of the available camera apps work. As soon as the app tries to focus the focus goes into near mode and remains there with no further movement.
I have factory reset the phone, reinstalled all camera apps, flashed other roms, factory reset again, with no change.
Has anyone experienced this as well?
Thanks for any tips

So little rear camera replacements? I guess I am the only fool that managed to crack it

Hello there
I also have this same problem and done all those same things to fix this. 12cam is now useless. Some1 help us out of our misery! :I
I just picked up the i9505 second hand (first smartphone). Same problem here. I went through 3 camera module parts off eBay... first one was the wrong part (i9500), and other two were supposedly i9505 - same results: camera never focuses. *Sometimes* it will temporarily focus if I moderately shake the phone, even then, only if the phone is tilted upright and not facing down.
Is the front camera unaffected for you guys?
