Hi all,
just got the Nexus S yesterday. I was playing around with the Camera app and as soon as I switch to the front-facing camera the app force closes. It will force close when I try to re-open it (probably because it is trying to open the app with the front-facing camera on). Couldn't get it to work and had to factory reset it so that the app boots from the front camera.
I tried to google it and don't seem to find anyone else with that problem. Have anyone else experienced this?

I can switch to front camera and back without issue.
If you have the problem again, maybe try going to /Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, then ALL, then find the camera and just try clearing data.
That might avoid a factory reset and wipe of the phone. I don't believe this would impact your pictures you've taken, but safe to have a backup first!
Same issue. It's a temporary solution, as the force closes happen once you go into Camera and try to switch to the front facing camera after clearing data.
Thanks for the replies.
So is the issue hardware or software?
i would get it exchanged just because... it isn't supposed to be doing that stock
So, I updated the phone to 2.3.1 and tried to install tango (known for supporting front camera). Tried to video call and front-facing camera won't work.
Problem with exchanging it is that I'm from Canada and bought the phone on Craigslist (I do have the gift receipt though)

I have the same problem. My camera just dont want to focus. Sometimes it starts working again after 30 times closing and opening the camera app. Wiping data, installing other roms; it all doesnt help. I installed an app: lgcamera, and with this I managed to sometimes make sharp pictures. When it works in this app, my standard app works too. But its only temporary.
Hardware is working probably because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt....
Anyhelp?
I have this problem, too. I believe it is a hardware problem. I disassembled my MB526 to access the camera and found that I can temporarily solve the problem.
It seems like a moving part of a camera with front lens in it was stuck in one position. I slightly moved it by a screwdriver, turned the phone on again and found autofocus working. Sometimes I hear high-frequency sound while camera app initializes a camera.
Before that camera didn't work for more than 3 months. It works from time to time now, so I hope to solve the problem by mounting a new camera module. Tha question is, where can I buy it? What is the part number of this piece?
Hello guys,
I'm not sure if this is a well known problem or if it's just me, but it seems there is a problem with snapchat (the camera) when running AOSP-roms on the LG G2 (D802). I've encountered this problem using both PA and CM.
When using snapchat and pressing the "change camera"-button to use the rear camera, the app freezes and I have to force close it. Then, when I open Snapchat again it shows the error message "Unable to connect to camera". When trying to open the camera application it shows the same error message. A reboot seems to fix the problem, but it doesn't take long before I get the same error message.
Is there any solution to this? I'm a little tired of rebooting my device 20-30 times a day. There is no problem on stock firmware, but I really want to use AOSP
I have the same issue on the VS980 and so far havent found a solution and its driving me nuts. Im not real sure how the app itself works but ive wondered if installing a different camera like the lenovo super camera or something along those lines would make any sort of difference, or if its just the app itself. With some searching i read something about google and snapchat knowing of the issue and that it was suppose to be taken care of in one of the 4.4.x updates but it doesnt seem like it
Having the same problem, snapchat will tell me to reboot but I sometimes I can just open the camera app, let it settle and flip the camera back and forth a few times, and then snapchat will magically work again.. still very annoying as I use snapchat a lot

I have the same problem, same gionee, I, tried focal app and camera doesn't open.
I erased all app data and cache, made factory reset and nothing. In hardware information app front Camera don't appear. I beg u, Hlp plz
1 Try a few camera apps from play store (if u have kk install google camera app)
2 If every app turns the same problembit could be a hardware issue
3 To be sure of that flash a stock rom and test the camera app.
If by now you re not able to use the front camera you should consider send the phone to repair
thank u

Hi, thanks for the help but none of your steps solved my problem. I show to u a comparison between 2 gionee e life 7
Has anyone solved this issue? I have exactly the same problem. It seems to have happened after I installed the official update. I have tried several roms, cleared cache etc..
i think its must be a hardware issue
i tried and no solution so far. It must be an hardware issue..
Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. This is a brand new device, fully updated, and when I go to open the camera, a message pops up saying "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?
This seems like an app error because the camera works well on Facebook and Snapchat.
settings -apps-camera -clear cache and date reboot-try!
If not working.....if not working.?.RMA
I already did that and I get the same error. I find this odd.
I was wrong. Both Snapchat and Facebook switch between the single and dual lense back cameras. They do not switch to the front camera.

I have the same issue with my LG G6. Have you fixed yours?
I got a new one, only way to fix it.
Im having the same issue after a screen replacement. The people who replaced the screen even boight a new front camera and replaced it with no luck. Also, the screenshot button for the bottom bar is conpletely missing which i find very odd.
That error seems to be the camera unpluged
I mean the phone is made of connections between hardware and the camera is not connected , its an hardware problem that is fixed by open the phone and plug jt in
Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I have the same issue with my phone. I replaced the cameras and it still gets the error; however, it does come on when I use a barcode reader...?
I also have the same issue (lg g6 - android 9)
When i open stock app for camera i get error "Camera unavailable".
But with other camera apps like Gcam or Open Camera, it works fine.
I flashed with new rom, but the error is still there.
Any ideas???
- i flashed with Android 9... not solved
- i flashed with Android 8... not solved
Hardware problem?
in that case why camera works fine with any other application, except stock?
Software problem?
it should have been solved after flashing two original roms (8 & 9).
The only explanation i can think is that there is hardware problem with 1 of the 2 camera. And maybe with the wide one. And maybe that's why it is not working with stock app. Maybe other camera apps don't require both camera's (normal and wide lens) to be working.
