Xperia Mini/pro :: Cannot Switch Between Front And Rear Camera
May 22, 2012
I'm having a problem with my Xperia mini pro front facing camera, I can't switch between the front and the rear camera, the only camera that's working is the rear one, and there's no option for switching it, I just realized this problem today.
My z2 cameras rear and front have stopped working for no reason, when I try to open the camera I get ' unfortunately, camera has stopped'. I've done a factory reset and I've also done the software update and nothing!
I just replaced the screen on my g4 with a screen I got from futuresupplier.com in china.
After powering up the rear camera is no longer working. The front camera does however it saves the pictures upside down. In snapchat the pic saves correct but in the camera app it saves them upside down. Why is this? Could this be a screen issue?
It may be possible the rear camera was damaged but unlikely. this phone was very easy to work on. Is there anything I can do?
I have an iPhone 5S and the camera completely stopped working completely.The front camera and rear camera are just black. I've tried turning off the phone and turning it back on, restoring it, I've tried everything and nothing works. I did drop my phone about a month ago and cracked the screen but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Everything else works but my camera. One day my camera worked fine and the next day it didn't and hasn't worked since.
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
I just bought a SAmsung galaxy S 6 smartphone. While I am recording a video i cannot by any means change the camera to front facing.There is no option no icon only the capture icon on the left (in order to capture in a pic what i am shooting at the moment), the square icon to stop the video and the pause icon on the right corner.
I took one picture with the phone and a day later the phones front and rear facing camera are not working. i called motorola and did a battery pull as well as factory reset and still not working.my next step is to go back to verizon wireless and see what they can do. did anyone have this problem?
i updated to ics only to realise that in camera mode i don't have my front facing camera anymore so far that's the only problem i have with the update.
I used to take pictures with the front camera of my xperia mini pro! But now the icon has disappeared and I don't know where is it! So I can't take front pictures anymore! I would like to know if I deleted the icon, or if it's anywhere else!
Something really weird is happening with my xperia mini pro (sk17a): Whenever I turn the front camera on, WIFI DISCONNECTS!It reconnects automatically as soon as I turn the front camera off.Is this a known issue? Is there any solution?
my front camera on xminipro is not working ,ive done factory reset already a few times but still the icon is missing.i have not done any upgrade on my phone either.and also can i do the update using my sd card,instead of usb cable?
So, I've always been on the stock GB rom it shipped with and had no issues. I decide to update to ICS but since the update doesn't show up in PC companion or Update Service or OTA, I get flashtool and the stock .431 ftf and flash my mini pro (SI 1249-0751) to ICS (and also plug in a fresh new 32GB microSDHC card to celebrate). A bit laggy, crashes of the contact viewer when searching throught the dialpad, but that's okay, I can use a different launcher (Zeam) and dialer app (Dialer One).But when I open the camera app and try to take a picture with the front camera ...... there's no option. It's gone.
Another camera app, no front camera.Skype recognises only the rear camera. No front camera.I open the service menu (*#*#SERVICE#*#* i.e *#*#7378423#*#*) and test the secondary camera, and it says "This device does not support the function". The primary works fine. All other supported features work fine. Light sensor (next to the front cam) responds too. (But the Proximity switch doesn't. Not sure if it should. Perhaps that could hint at a hardware problem with the connections from the bottom half to the top slider part.)
I scout the forums and find that there's some some strange relationship between the SD card and the front camera for the Ray (or some other device) . With the old SD card, still no luck.I downgrade to GB. Still not working. Front cam missing.I unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom (CyanogenMod 9.0.0 Stable mango).Still not working. Front cam missing.I reinstall GB, relock the bootloader in the hope of an OTA update and do finally get one (to ICS). I update it. Still not working. Front cam missing.I don't think it's (gulp) hardware. There hasn't been any drop onto a hard surface.
I have a ST15i with Android version 4.0.4 and the build 4.1.B.0.587, when i click the camera button in the main screen i am able to see the back camera view and there is not front /back camera toggle button. i did the factory reset almost 5 times, but no result, is there any patch to solve this issue, due to this i am not able to use Skype Video 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.
im using xperia mini pro with ics updated yesterday. everything works fine but when im using the camera,i cant find any button to switch between the two camera.
I have a xperia z2 and my problem is that it does not work the rear camera is in black and I get that the camera is not available, but I put the front camera and works without any problem.
I was taking some picture and suddenly I got a black screen. Then whenever I use the rear camera it gives me only black screen if I tried to take photo it took a while then give me a defect photo that i can't open. It doesn't work for both photos and videos. The front camera works fine. I noticed also that I have an issue with the flash too that when I open it I can't close it except with a restart.  I have tried the following:
1-) force shutdown with power button and volume up 2-) force shutdown with the off key. 3-) factory reset 4-) repair through pc companion.  but unfortunately all doesn't work.
I love my new M8. I previously had the HTC One S, and when in camera mode, you had a camera OR video button at the same time.
On the M8, I see this setup for my front facing camera, but on the rear facing, I have to keep going into the menu and selecting one or another. I frequently flip back and forth, and it's soooo annoying. I'll be ready to snap a pic and oops I left it on video mode. Then I have to stop the video and go back and change. And when you're taking pics of a 9 month old baby, they don't understand to stop and wait a few seconds.
Anyways... is there some kind of setting to display both the camera and video button on the same screen at the same time? I looked around but couldn't find anything.
I am using Android 4.0.4 when I make a video call with Skype I can't switch on the front camera. I can switch the camera on in normal camera after pressing mode for a few secs though but not in Skype.
I have xperia z3, i cannot use my front camera in some applications. (viber,skype even messaging) if i wanted to send a picture using the front camera i should go to the camera icon first. but in regards to calling front camera is working.
When I'm using the front camera as it saves the actual image doesn't seem to be as clear as the imagine on the screen itself. Also when using it in certain lighting conditions it seems very grainy.
My rear camera picture seems to be blurred when i take a picture within 1metre but seems okay if i take a picture within 5cm? same thing occurs when i record a video either in 4k mode or not. this problem happens after i update my os to 5.0. so i cant really use my camera now except for front camera.i cant use my rear camera because the blur problem.
