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?
I recently updated my S7 edge to 7.0 nougat, and while on Snapchat I noticed something that's never happened before. I often snap my friends late at night in low-light settings, and I've noticed that my front camera has these horrific vertical stripes that faintly cover every picture now. They look like old-style scanlines and move around like them in-app too.
At first they were only in low-light, and and only on Snapchat as far as I thought. But now I've realized they're constantly there, even in the camera app, just barely visible in proper lighting.
I'm not sure if this is some new software bug, and if there's anything I can do about it, but it's very unsightly and almost seems like it's getting worse over time. This phone has had a camera failure before, but it was a long time ago, and I feel like it isn't connected to this new problem.
Any info at all would be greatly appreciated!
(I previously posted this to the S7 forum, but realize now that the S7 edge has its own forum).
Unplug from charger and make a photo again. I had this when the phone was charging...

That is absolutely ridiculous... but it worked! Thank you! My next question is if there's any way at all to fix this, or am I forever stuck with this awkward problem?
I see now this issue automagically gone in DQC3 march firmware update. It's ok now when charging.
I successfully revived my phone after a brick - had to take it apart at that. I disconnected the camera module when doing so. After finishing and reassembling it, I noticed that the photos from the back camera were no more than 3 or 4 megapixels. i thought it was badly connected or something (which seemed odd since it still shot somewhat nice pictures, i would expect artifacts) and went ahead and took the device apart, then unplugged and replugged both cameras. After booting, I opened the default camera app. The rear camera snapped into place with OIS but the app didn't show image. Tried switching to the front cam, nothing. After some time it simply crashed. OpenCamera says it can't start it and it might be in use by other app (after closing the stock camera).
Now I connected it again after that and it still doesn't want to work. I might've damaged something, which is kinda unlikely since it worked worse, but still worked after the first teardown.
Maybe it is a software issue? There's some camera firmware I've heard of, might be that too. Or I just trashed the cam, possible too. But what's weird is that the front camera also doesn't work...
Edit: it was the BeastMode kernel... Says it is made for A2017U's and my thing is a G
Lol it was BeastMode Kernel. Thanks for all the help
I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do but wanted to see if anyone knew a solution here...
Recently cracked my P4 screen and had it replaced by U Break I fix. Screen looks great, but the rear camera doesn't want to focus any longer.
System wipe, reinstalled camera app before anything else, and still no focus. Rebooted in safe mode, no better. Rebooted again and tried other apps that use the camera and still, the P4 responds as if the focal point of a zoomed picture is only a few inches away, providing the suggestion - back up for a better picture (sic).
I'll be happy to take it back for those joker's to fix properly, but wanted to see if there was a DIY fix I haven't considered.
It sounds like it was reassembled improperly. They probably didn't seat the camera's ribbon cable properly, but I would make them inspect and fix the issue.
Hello,
I changed the screen on my Huawei P9, but the rear camera doesn't work. The application crashing (it opens, closes and restarts) and I cannot check if the front camera. works. I have already tried to reset the phone and completely drain the battery. Before changing the display it worked, so maybe I have damage it when I took it off my smartphone.
It's possible? What you think?
Should I replace the camera? Or can be a software issue?
Thanks!
