I have the wifi edition Xoom mz604 and have changed to the US rom from Motorola's site. The flashing went fine and I received all the OTA updates so I have Android 4.0.4 now, but my front camera does not work. If I go to take a picture it is a green screen with lines moving throughout it, the rear camera works fine but that does me no good for Skype.
Has anyone ever had this problem? Anything I could try to fix it? All help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried every camera app on the market with the same results also
Thank You

Got the same problem here since long time ago, seems like a hardware problem, maybe if you have the guaratee available you can ask to raplace the damage part. In my case im from MX and my tables was bought in US so no way to have guarantee here, just buy an OEM front facing camera from Ebay and hope somebody can send me the camera to replace.
As much as it sucks, if you want to eliminate the possibilities, you're gonna have to flash another rom and see if it happens.
Hmmm well guess I will start by going back to stock and re-locking it as it will need to be like that for warranty anyways. The tablet is 2 weeks old so I got lots of warranty on it still lol.
Thanks all

Did you have another thread about that here?
Anyways, what makes you think a custom ROM will fix your camera? A stock phone should have a working camera, period.
Have you tried downloading a third party camera app, like Camera 360 or Vignette demos to see if the camera will work with them?
How do you know the camera isn't defective, hardware-wise?
You're just going to complicate returning the phone for warranty or exchange by rooting it; so make sure you have good hardware first. Exchange the phone if the camera doesn't work...

Maybe busted camera is why they sold it...?
Please try going to the Settings/Applications/Manage Applications menu. Click on All apps. Scroll down to Camera. Tap it. On the screen that opens, try clicking on Clear Data and Clear Cache (if it's able).
Also, I really suggest you try a free camera app like Vignette Demo or something else to see if they work.
Do you have any apps that use the camera, like maybe the barcode scanner app, or Google Goggles? Do the work?
Have you tried a factory reset on the phone?
I'm all for rooting, but if you're only rooting to try to fix the camera, doesn't make sense. More back on topic, the original response you got with the link is the simplest way.
Yea I have tried every free camera app and nothing works and I hard reset and clear cache multiple times I'm sure its a hardware issue but with rooting I was hoping to flash a new Tom and pray the software would fix the camera but for now I need a stock camera apk
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
call samsung to have it serviced
or get the seller to refund the money back to you
Send it back to Samsung. The camera should work fine with the stock software. Rooting only has the potential to cause problems, since you don't know what the issue is.

I am pretty sure you aren't going to be able to replace the one you already have anyways. I think you would need to be rooted. If ALL camera apps are force closing, it isn't the stock camera app. You need to service it with Samsung.
From the looks of it its a software based problem. Looks like were gonna have to wait till they update it to support whichever camera is in the front (hardware wise)

We are aware of the front facing camera issue on the G2X. We just received our G2X in to the office yesterday and will start performing tests on it as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that we will be able to fix the issue soon!
It's a new phone, wait for an update. This is common with new Android phones.

Ffc didn't work on tango for my g2x only showed back camera. But when I use qik it kept force closing everytime I would answer a call. Qik works on my Mytouch 4g fine but on tango the ffc view would transmit it upside down to my g2x when I did a video chat Test.

Hey guys I have a problem with skype video calls. After about 1 minute my outgoing video turns green with like 5 small boxes on top, this only happens with the front camera. Whenever i use the back camera the video is fine, has anybody else had this problem? If so how did you fix it. I am using the latest version of skype I downloaded from the android market. The problem with oovoo is that video does not work on my end at all, and the option to toggle camera is greyed out. I cant even take a picture for my profile. I am using the latest version of oovoo downloade from android market. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Did you say video skype?
yes skype video call, somebody please help.
anybody else having this problem with their g2x, come one somebody please help.

What specific version of skype are you using? Is it the version ending with 160?
How about oovoo?

yes it is the skype version ending in 160 and the oovoo version is 1.2.2.648
Anybody getting the green screen when video chatting on Skype?
To be honest, you're way ahead of me. Video Skype is non functional on my g2x.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Sorry to hear that, I'm running stock Rom with latest Skype version if that helps. The g2x is supposed to be supported by oovoo but it can't even detect any of my cams. I'm sure someone has to have it working.
I hope someone has it working! I'm stuck using Qik for video communication with family. Kinda annoying asking others do download Qik for my sake.
My skype is working okay. So as gtalk and ym video. I use ffc with bfc toggle. Havent tested oovoo yet, dont have anyone to test with.

Jose makalolot, do you get the green screen? I get it and I change back and forth between front and back cameras but it messes up again after a couple of seconds.

Maybe it doesn't work because I'm in stock rom, I see you are using your own mix Jose. How does it work? maybe I can root my phone and give it a shot.

My mix is stock based.
Rooting is a risk, it's a decision you have to make...
If you decide to root and wanna try my new mix, just give me a pm and ill give you a link. The link in my sig hasn't been updated yet.

thanks jose I'll give it a shot, I tried weapon g2x and I could not send or receive a video image in skype. Also tried asop rom and the same thing happened, could not send or receive a video image in skype.
Ok so I just put MIUI onto my phone and I love it however I have a question I'm hoping someone might have an answer for.
When using the camera/ camcorder in landscape mode the pictures/videos save in portrait mode. Is this a common issue with ROMs for this phone maybe due to a porting issue and is there any fix that I can do? I tried a few apps but that didn't change anything either. Is my only option a return to stock?!
Btw this normally wouldn't be an issue but I just got my tickets for Armin and want some good videos.

I myself had same issue. Went in the gallery and click on the picture/video then there is a option I believe its the 3rd option on top and could rotate the image. It saved that way too. Hope that helps

Hi. Same problem here. After installing JB update multitouch on my p5110 went crazy. It was most noticeable when trying to pinch zoom in maps or on web page. Multitouch tester clearly showed that there was a problem of some sort, and earlier with ics everything was smooth. I also tried factory reset, but it didn't help much.
Anyway, I downloaded SGS Touchscreen Booster app and it worked great. No need to root device. Just used 'Super optimized' preset and now responsiveness is much, much better. Still testing.
