Just yesterday I have not been able to access my rear camera, thought it was the rom i was using, flashed a new rom and the problem is still there.
When i open any kind of app that uses the rear camera such as snapchat - it can't connect to the camera
Instagram Force closes
Samsung camera app is just black
I have also used the secret codes to get into the testing hardware area and it reports
data line failed
then repeatedly says Warning camera failed
caches wiped factory reset everything and still no joy
I have taken apart the phone and have checked the ribbon cables and all were in and secure (100% sure)
so this leaves me with the only thing left. faulty module
I can only seem to find a replacement for a i9500,
so would this:

work in my i9505?
thanks in advance
Most pieces work and I think both cameras too

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?

Might camera hw problem
Hi,
Got a confusing issue with the rear camera on a galaxy s7 edge.
This is a new flash of the OS
Nothing has been installed on the device as yet.
I can take pictures with the front camera no problems. . On the rear camera I can view what it's looking at and it will focus too but when I've taken a picture it comes up with an unknown error then the phone restarts.
I've reflashed the firmware for this model as well as clearing the cache.
I've since this have replaced the camera with a NEW one and now it wont even open the camera as it shows an error.
Hello,
My rear camera of my Note 4 N920C broke (the glass and a little bit the glass of the camera) which resulted in a blurry image and not accurate shots at all. I decided to buy another one and replace it which I did..everything fits perfectly with the exception that when I try to turn on the new one it says "Warning Camera failed." I've read across the internet to clean the caches and do a full wipe of the system (which I did). I am using eRobot's ROM and flashed v33 of it, but it still displays the same error. How can I fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Simply go back to the vendor - check the connector first though
