Ok camera failed I have tried.
EVERYTHING lol
#force stop wipe cache date etc
if i enter the code *#34971539# on 5.01 stock rom
I get "unfortunatly, Camera test has stopped working error?
Im totaly at my wits end here and running out ideas, heard its a hardware problem? anyone ever found a fix?
thanks
Is it the front or rear camera?
If it is rear, I would but a replacement from eBay. Changing the rear camera is very easy.
Both they both fail?
Both cameras fail on a Custom ROM too? Tried reloading a stock ROM with Odin? If these things don't work, I would try replacing the cameras.
Were will i get stock 4.4.2 uk? havent tried roms
Look at samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com for stock firmware.
Ok here is what I have done!
Went back to stock still the same.
Purchased new rear and front camera
Took old back out put new one in back camera worked,
Switched to front and camera failed.
So switched front camera tot he new one purchased and still camera failed.
Seems who ever had this phone before me(purchased from ebay) with broken camera, had already been in and tried changing the back camera because obviously was the wrong model.
I am now left wondering if the front cmaera I purchased and the one that was in were the wrong type?
GT-I9550
back camera that came out has the follwing: GT-I9500 R12. On the other side SLD2 25b G
front camera following: I9500-92 1314 G
As you can see they from the i9500 I cant be bothered to tare the phone back down to check the reference for the new front camera, but does anyone know which I should be getting for my uk GT-I9505.
Thanks.
Is there front camera for the 9505 too? If it is and it doesn't work, it's possible the front replacement is defective. If you know the front camera works, it's possible that something is wrong with the motherboard.

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:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuin-Sa...ent-Part-/300932899978?_trksid=p2054897.l4275
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
Hello there to all.
I´m newly registered to the forum, although i´ve been using it to search, learn and use roms in my Samsung s3 for some time now.
I´ve bought recently a used S4 i9506. At the time i tested several key points of the device to check if it was all working, however (and don´t ask me why because i cant explain it), i completely forgot to test the cameras.
My problem is the following. Everytime i try to access the camera it says that camera failed or something like server connection failed. I´ve tried every single resolution i could find on the internet and so far all failed to solve it. The problem seems to be in both cameras, i think, because when i try the code *#0*# both Mega cam and front cam give error. Here´s what i tried so far:
- Soft Reset/Hard Reset/factory reset;
- Cleared cache both from boot and manually erasing cache from com.sec.android.gallery3d;
- Tried 3rd party camera apps from GooglePlay;
- Tried the RestartCamera.apk;
- Tried 3 different firmwares for i9506;
- Tried rooting it and then flashed several different roms;
- Switched the rear camera with a new i9506 rear camera module that i bought;
- I cant also test the cameras, because when i use the code *#34971539# they bring a menu on which i can´t use almost every option (see image);
http : / / rghost.net/6Zby4zXFD/image . png
Anyone have any other possible resolution?
I´m thinking on maybe buying a front camera module. Could that do the trick? Could the front facing camera not working properly make the rear camera fail as well?
Thank you for the attention to all who took the time to read.
So far 60 people read and nobody answered. ... is it because you don´t know what else i can do? I´ve been reading the problem may be from the motherboard. What can i do on the motherboard to make things right?
Thanks again
Be patient my friend someone will answer soon
Hi,
I've got the same problem with my s4mini. Both cameras aren't working and all the solutions you explained don't solve it.
I'm thinking about buying another S4mini with broken Display in order to change the motherboard. This might be the only possibility to solve this......

Hey there m8.
I know the feeling, right?!
The thing is that for a faulty i9506 model i could almost buy myself another motherboard and mount it, but i was hoping to find some other solution, maybe even some electronics expert opinion on what i could do in the motherboard to make it work again. There are some videos on youtube that teaches how to change some components on the motherboard to solve problems like dead smartphone or constant auto reboots. Also, finding a faulty i9506 model isn´t as easy as finding a regular S4. :crying:
Thx for sharing the problem and for the opinions,
and greetings from Portugal
Today i've changed the mainboard aaaaaaand -> cameras still not working
So i started to change the front cramera and the ear-brightness-sensor from the old s4 mini with the broken screen into my working one. And now both cameras are working again!:good:
I think the cause is most likely the brightness sensor which is combined with the ear speaker. This could explain why both cameras are not working.
I'm not completely sure due to i changed the front camera also. However changing the main camera did not do anything as mentioned above.
Maybe i should mention: A few weeks ago i've changed the earspeaker-brightness-unit because the speaker wasn't working anymore. Right after this both cameras stopped working.

Thank you for the update on your situation m8. That could be some relevant information there. Can anyone confirm if the sensor is the same for all s4 models? If so i could find more easily one from another s4 model and try it, for the sake of desperation.
cheers
Hello guys,
Please does anyone knows what i can do about my N910H which i placed order for the front Camera and rear camera but i discovered the camera was meant for N910F after receiving it, error message is "Camera Failed" the old camera was blur due to accidental damage, i need your technical advice,i can't sleep right now please
Thanks.
note 4 is very picky with which camera it accepts...i tried to replace a camera on one note4 910f and even tho the replacement was for 910f the camera still didnt work. You can try returning the one you got and try a different one.
The front camera on my phone does not work at all. If I chose the front camera, the phone tries to witch to it for about 3 seconds, then it just switches to the wide-angle back-camera.
Is there a solution for this?
The phone model is D990HS which I bought fron eglobacentral.
Can it be that they flashed a wrong ROM on it before sending it even though the phone was supposed to be new?

Yes, it was a hardware problem. I changed the front facing camera and the issue was gone. I boight the front facing camera from aliexpress for about 8usd, I think. replacing it was easy too. There is instruction for disassemblying an LG V20 on youtube .
