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

Hi,
I have a problem with both Cameras, both are not working and all camera apps show the Camera Busy note. I did the usual (restart, factory reset) nothing solved the problem. Any advice....,.
What does the it say when you open the camera app?
Camera busy please restart the phone.
When factory reset doesn't solve the problem, most probably hardware related issues
I'm having similar problems, including flash light not working as well, I've seen some disassemble videos and noticed that the flash is part of the back frame, so if you remove the back cover and push down, next to the word "camera", on top of the metallic antenna strip, the flashlight will start working and camera sometimes as well, so I've ordered a T4 and T3 screw driver and I'll see if any pins are not connected properly, maybe raise a bit of the pins of the motherboard, that touch the flash contacts on the back frame and see if it fixes it
Let me know if you are still having these issues, if not, how did you fix it.
So I got the phone open and it's very weird, without the back frame removed, the camera works always and when I put it on, it stops working, so I thought that something was shorting some circuit, tried to isolate all contacts from the back frame, antennas and everything just to see it would still happen and it does, so it does not seem to be shorting anything, just the pressure of the cover seems to disable the camera, so what I did for now was add some plastic (old SIM card cut into peaces ), put it between the SIM tray and back frame and all working fine now. It's a temp fix, but it's a fix =D
Hope this can help someone with the same issue.
One more update, what I did on the above post, was only temporary, after a day, it started happening again, no camera, so went back in again, turns out this issue was being cause by the front facing camera, when I removed it, the main camera started working straight away. Now all is good, just no front facing camera which I don't really care for =P but if anyone knows where I can get one, there is a guy on eBay selling one, but £16 seems a bit much, if anyone knows where I can get a front facing camera for the Moto X Play, please let me know.
you solved it?
Greetings folks..
I am having an issue with a front camera replacement.
I have since replaced my front camera in my S7 Edge and am now getting the following two errors when attempting to start my front camera from diag mode:
Camera checksum error
Data Line of front camera fail.
When sarting it from the stockcamera app, it errors with "camera failed"
I have cleared the camera app's cache, as well as the dalvik cache, tried a different camera app and did a factory reset
The original reason for the repair was that the front camera was exhibiting extreme light ghosting or light blurring. I assumed it was a problem with the actual lens. Maybe not? I am now getting the error with the old and new camera installed.
The new camera is from Samsung
Thank you in advanced for, at least a clue as to what's broke!

did u check and make sure your connections were actually connected because them connectors are really hard to tell sometimes if they are connected.
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
