I have had my Inspire since the end of Feb and haven't had any real issues with it. Camera has been working great and I love snapping photos that I can share on FB so easily...I went to that the other day and found my camera is stuck on the Posterize mode eventhough my settings are at "normal".
I tried installing a different camera app (using default app) and got the same result
Any suggestions? I have tried a soft-reboot to no avial. Do I need to wipe the whole phone and do a reset to factory settings?
Have you dropped your phone recently, or at all? If so, all you have to do is press the camera lens back into place. Mine was similar to this, and after pressing the lens back in, the picture quality was back to normal.
If pressing the lens DOESN'T work, go to:
settings > applications > Camera > force stop & clear data
That should also help. Hope this works for you

Hi All,
The camera crashes sometimes and I have to force close it. When I try to open it again, it displays a black screen for 2 seconds with maximum brightness then kicks me back to my home page.
I have disabled Geotagging and going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage
Clearing the camera data
Clearing the cache
Force stopping & reopening the camera app. does not resolve the problem.
I need to restart my phone in order for it to start working again.
Does anyone know of another way to revive the camera after it crashes without having to restart?
Thanks.
I'll assume that camera worked properly when you installed the rom. If that is the case, just flash the SAME rom on top of it, without wiping anything, and you should be fine.
Thanks for the response strahota.
I'm running InsertCoin 3.4.0 and not having any problems with the camera or ROM itself, but rather a third-party application that will sometimes crash the camera and prevent the camera app. from being opened again until I restart.
Just would like to know if there's anyone out there that knows of a way to restart the camera without restarting the phone?
Thanks.
bump, hoping someone can help...
It seems like its stuck on a near focus mode, of course I have reset camera settings to default, restarted and even tried other camera apps.
I had the issue before and it went away. Can't seem to figure it out,
Any suggestions before I do a full reset on the phone?
Turn off the 'wide aperture' option? When you open the app, its the second option (from the left) in the top bar.

How about enabling the object tracking in setting?
sending it for warranty, RIP
Guys my main camera stopped working.
The process is not blocked by any other app.
I tried service menu and test camera, it doesn't perform the test, it fails.
Only way to take pictures is to use gcam v1.4 and manually choosing wide or zoom camera.
When u choose 1x camera it stays black and crashes.
Any ideas?

Have you factory reset?
I got the same problem. Just got a black screen and camera app would freeze. Did a factory reset, camera was extremely choppy for a minute or so and now back to nothing.
Tried another factory reset. It seems like if you change the default resolution settings to anything (even tapping on 'FullVision' in settings), it almost breaks the camera. Best to leave it at default 4:3 12 MP resolution.
Seems like a "driver" issue, good work LG.
Did any of you ever find a fix for this? Just got a Korean V50 Thinq and the camera is 99% of the time crashing. I tried installing gcam mods as well and they also crash, primarily while using the main camera.
Got it repaired via LG warranty. They replaced the main/motherboard. Phone has been fine ever since.
Same thing happened to my phone and warranty is expired. I tried the hard reset and may other ways, but nothing helped. Did anyone find a solution for it?
So in the updated to oos they added the little green dot next to the camera hole for when the camera is being used and it won't go away. It stays on all the time, I tried using the access dots app to check and see if any apps were accessing the camera and there aren't any, so I think it's just stuck on. Any advice?
Update!
While that dot is on I'm unable to use my camera app at all. I've went to my permission settings and turned off all apps to camera that I could even system apps and no luck fixing it. A reboot temporarily fixes it but it comes back after some time.
I've had this phone for about 3 months now with YahooMobile. It seems like a nice enough phone but after a month the Camera Froze. I could clear clear cache and Data cache to bring it back up again, but as soon as I switch it to front camera it froze again. The Rear camera functions fine until I bring up front again and everything has to be cleared out again. If I factory reset the OS, it functions fine for a period of time then starts freezes again. I tried watching my app installs to see if it happened for a particular app but with half the apps installed as the previous times and no new apps running camera permissions it does it again. Is anyone having this problem and found a solution?
I've sent my phone back to zte 3 times now and on the 3rd time they finally sent me a replacement phone. One week into using it, it froze on selfie camera. The first and 3rd time I sent it to them they did testing and factory reset but nothing more, insuring that the problem would return. The second time I sent it to them I factory reset it myself and they did nothing to it but send it back because they couldn't find a problem. They told me not to install "ANY" 3rd party apps on the phone.
I have the blade x1 5g too. It is a great phone except for this issue After about 2 months the screen freezes when the front camera is activated. Long press on camera icon and select photo will get out of it. Factory reset is only thing I have found that allows it to work correctly. It has not come back yet but only has been a week since the reset. Probably developer needs to intervene to add to an update?
