Lumia 1520 :: Front Camera Not Working - Screen Is Just Black
Jan 2, 2015
My mom has a 1520 that has a front camera not working. Whenever she opens the camera app, wechat, skype using the front camera the screen is just black. Is this a hardware issue?
Just noticed that my front facing cam isn't working when I toggle it in the menu, both on phone's cam and Nokia cam. The screen appears black momentarily, and then it revert to homescreen.
I am not sure if it was this way when on W8.0 'cos I didn't test it then.
My 1020's FFC has been working fine until yesterday when I tried to use the FFC and it just showed a black screen and you couldn't press any buttons on the screen, I just had to go back to the home screen to do anything else. The regular camera is working fine. Proximity sensor seems to working fine as well. I have done a soft reset with no luck, about to do a hard reset... It's not a huge deal but I do like my phone to be working at 100%!
A couple of days ago, my I tried to open my camera and it just get black. I tried opening every app that use the camera but all of then just get black. 2 hours later the camera came back to normally. It have happened 3 times this week.
I'm facing problem with my Xperia Z2 after updating to lollipop 23.1.A.0.726My front camera stopped working, when I try to switch to the front camera the screen goes to black.I made restore factory settings, repair by Sony pc companion
When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it?
Still running WP8. Camera won't start up, display is black after "Loading..." But my first problem is the display, "Graphics Processor?" Is starting to fail? it started with my game freezing in progress, then turned into the display turning black for a few seconds, and has now turned into a scrambled display...
Lumia 1520 seems to have a black line running vertically down the screen (see attached photo). I am hoping it is just software related but I have done a factory reset and it is still there. It is not a crack and if it is dead pixels I have never seen them like that before. I have included a picture....
Several times per day, my screen just stops working. The LCD portion of the screen still turns on and off, but it won't recognize any touches. The only way out is a soft reset, since I can't swipe down to turn the phone off, then it works again. I have the Windows 10 preview installed, if that matters.
I'm thinking that it's a hardware issue, but I'm not 100% on that, since a soft reset temporarily solves the problem.
I also tried a hard reset and that had me hopeful, because it worked most of the day, then the issue returned in the evening.
Recently I purchased an E75 off of Ebay. The problem is, whenever I try to utilize the main camera, all I see is blackness. The viewfinder does not seem to work at all. Scrolling through the camera toolbar takes a while and tooltips remain on the screen without fading away as they supposedly should. I have tried taking picture regardless of the issue, but I recieved an error message which says "Unexpected error has occurred. Restart your phone." or something similar. I get the same result in Video Mode.I have done hard resets and firmware updates to the latest firmware possible, but to no avail. What could it be? Would I need to take it to a Nokia Care Center?
I have a rather different issue with camera. I have a Curve 8310 (AT&T) and when I go into camera, everything works, but the screen is black. Just the part where the "picture" is supposed to be. I can see the zoom option and I can go to the options and everything. I notice a little symbol thats like an exclamation mark with comma sized lines all the way around it.
The lock screen button in my Lumia 1520 is not working. I cannot unlock the screen by pressing it but I can switch it off by holding it for a few seconds. I already did a couple of soft resets but the problem is still there. I can't do ah hard reset at this moment.
i tried to use the front camera and i suddenly notices that it intermittently flicker until finally it turns black...but when i shift it to the rear camera it seems ok. i dont knw what to do
I've a problem with my beautiful phone, and I dont know how to fix this. The problem is when I call someone or someone call me the screen turn to black and dont let me see anything, the phone automatically locks and I must press the lock button to find out if it is dialing or attempt to derive calls.
i have i phone 5 about 2 years now , just yesterday i found the rear cam not working , black screen and show the last pic in camera roll in the left side , while the front cam (secondary cam ) working.
I have an LG G4 and the front camera doesn't work at all. It happens with all the apps that access the front facing camera. I think it had something to do with a snap chat update a few weeks a go. I have been having this issue for 3 weeks...
my n95 8gb front camera is not working. wen i take front camera, i can see, only wallpaper and the options around like 03M, 9999 photos can be take, the title camera and its icon above and options and exit below. wen i click the middle button i can hear camera sound. also i am able to use zoom in and zoom out option. but nothing comes on screen.i can see only theme wall paper. i cant see any image. i tried updating software. what could be the problem? is my camera dead for ever? bt my main camera is working perfectly.
I discovered today that when I take a picture with the front camera. It flips the image so when i hold my phone portrait mode and take a picture. The image is flipped upsidedown for some reason. Also on my main camera, my recent images appear to have a blackspot in one particular spot, i took other images and in the same area, there is a black speck on my photos
So my lumia 920 is 10 days old and Ive noticed a lot of dust under the glass of the FFC.
- I have read a lot of the posts here. Some people claim its the dust entering through the ear vent.
- I used a cannister of pressurised air onit today - and it indeed cleared all the dust out of the camera.
Where did the dust go? I read soemwhere that this blown out dust can wind up under the screen..Could it also end up obstructing the proximity sensor and mess up calls (blanking screen out)?
