Camera Problem

Well I just got my JasJar and when I press the camera the app comes up and then nothing but a black screen. Is there any software update out there? The camera that is on the screen works but not the one on the back.

I am having the samem problem. Is there anything I can download to correct this?

Nothing in the way of the screen.
I have not found a solution to the camera problem. There is nothing in the way of the lens. I have not taken the phone apart to see if maybe a cable is unplugged or such. I really do not think it would be that simple anyway. Once I buy my next phone I will try it out but for now I just wait to see if a good ROM might fix the problem.

In my jasjar cam goes almost fine, but only with 640x480. If configure largest not take pics :evil:

can't connect to camera.

my lg g2 can't connect to camera and hence force crashes, the front camera works. i replaced the camera by buying a new one, but the issue is still present,
i've noticed something though, when i installed a torch app, the following message comes up - "Due to limitation of your hardware or OS, your device does not support LED Cam light, We will light up your screen at maximum instead."
It also says - "Your LED is being used by another application. We will light up your screen instead."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Try reflash your phone to stock .kdz might help.

These would probably a hardware issue then. Since nothing could fix it by meant of software. Did you get a genuine camera module for the replacement? Im afraid its not compatible or at least the module itself is broken. If you happen to consider buying another camera module i would suggest getting G3 camera module as it 100 percent compatible with G2 and also it had a little better spec.

could it be that the replacement camera is faulty? hmmm, i'm not sure. the one i got was genuine though. so im not, i fell inclined to believe it may be the camera flash thats causing these issues.

Sometimes even a perfectly careful assembly could mess up something. Maybe its just a loose cable or shorting something. It could be.

Any solution to it ??? I also have same issue? @salespalace

Turned out to be a hardware issue - despite replacing with a new camera port, still didn't work, - which told me there was an issue with the motherboard. sold the phone off. so no real solution. sorry.

Gt-i9505 camera failed? anyone ever found a solution ?

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.

Possible Front Facing/Selfie Camera Issues

Hi all,
Been going crazy trying to find the 'selfie' camera on my new Axon 7 A2017G.
Used the SD update method and images from the AU Axon 7 site to go from what was the latest MM to the current latest available N image (1.2.0B09).
Stock Camera App doesn't seem to have a 'selfie' / front facing camera mode.
Open Camera doesn't have a switch, and the icon used for switching in Snapchat is also missing.
I'm hoping im being a complete numpty and missing something obvious, bc otherwise this is sounding like a fairly serious software/hardware issue.
Have tried clearing data and cache both through android and through the stock recovery, as well as a factory reset through both android and stock recovery.
Any thoughts?
Attached is a screenshot of the stock camera app right after a recovery factory reset (thumbnail link to full).

Lol you don't have it. That's just because you don't have a front camera attached; I used to have my moto g 2 fully disassembled and if the front camera wasn't attached the button wouldn't appear.
You have two ways around this: follow jerryrigeverything's video and try to reseat the connector, or just send it in for repairs or whatever

Yea ended up looking into it after posting here and came to a similar conclusion. Not very happy atm, as thats a pretty big thing to be broken out of the box :/
Will be contacting both the retailer i purchased it from as well as ZTE to see what can be done.

I mean, how do you know the transport didn't disconnect it? Maybe it wasn't properly seated, it passed qc testing, and it got disconnected later
It's also attached with a piece of tape I think, so i think it's plausible
But yeah, just send it in.

LG Camera error 'camera not available'

I sent the camera to LG for a broken screen repair. Now I've it back with a factory reset, and the LG camera app is not working! When I start it it freezes in a black screen (with shooter/video buttons) for a 3-4 seconds and then throws the error: "Error de càmera - La càmera no està disponible" (translated to English: "Camera error - The camera is not available")
I tried the cstark app and it works (but I can't access settings, it forces closing)
Is it possible to reinstall the original apk? What can I do?

That sounds more like a hardware issue (i.e. they forgot to plug the camera module back in). I'd contact the guys who replaced the screen.

By "it works" do you mean: the front and back camera work, but the settings in the app cause the app to close? Is the modded gcam app for your model?
If both cameras work in Google Cam try this:

If not, back to LG

Yes, I used the cstark27 mod and at least the back cameras worked, I didn't tested front ups

Hi, has anyone found a solution for this problem? I bought used lg g6 with "camera not available" message when opening lg cam. But interesting is fact, that wide angle and main cam works, when im using other apps, or even stock, when im holding stock cam icon and choosing selfie camera. To sum up, selfie cam not work at all (even when replaced for new one), main cam works time to time (i don't know why, sometimes works fine, other phone gets a massive lag), wide cam works always. Is there a possibilty that selfie cam is somehow connected to main cam, and the main cam is causing this problem?

If a factory reset or kdz won't fix it. Send it back. Hopefully you haven't had it long.
Maybe it's rooted with some broken camera mod?
Personally I'd try returning it over trying kdz.

Unfortunately, i have no varranty card (it is used phone). Kdz didn't helped at all same as mounting brand new camera. Sadly, I don't know the history of this phone. Anyway, thanks for reply!

Unfortunately,My phone gets into water even its water proof but after sometimes camera cannot work as if black screen (camera error, camera is not available) but if i am using gcam app then both cameras are working properly. But again there is a problem in connecting social site , front camera is not working only back one is operatable. So please give me some solutions for this.
