Has anyone else been experiencing problems with their stock tab 2 ( P3113 IMM76D UEBLG2 ) while taking pictures outdoors ?
Whenever I try to take a picure outdoors, mine takes a blank grey picture or locks up and I end up having to reboot and no pic. Have tried factory wipe and fresh install, same problem.

I am having the same problem. Indoor pictures are fine, outdoor pictures are all gray. Very frustrating. Same model and build. Thinking about taking it back.

Try updating to the latest stock rom. Kidney poker has rooted and deoxed it for us. I've experienced definite improvements from the update.

I tried GT-P3113][4.0.4] - Stock Rooted De-Odexed -Base: IMM76D.P3113UEBLG5, continued to have same problem. Went back to HOME_P3113UEALD3_378347_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and problem seems to go away.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I started having this same problem yesterday morning. Shooting outdoor images shows only "gray" ... indoor images are fine.
The only fix I could find was to use another camera app. Camera Zoom FX, Camera 360, Paper Camera and Instagram all work fine for taking photos outside. However, Samsung should fix this problem but I wouldn't hold my breath!
Well, samsung was of no help. They acted oblivious to any problems.
Samsung seemed to think if it did this outside, it should do it inside also.
Wow, alott of help samsung was.

Does anyone think this might be isolated to a few defective units or is common in all of tab 2's?

If you guys narrow down what cam is working ill swap it. Looks like P3113UEALD3 maybe works? If we get a few people to confirm ill start using that cam for the updates untill sammy works it out
The old version is deff. still working for me.

I just took my P-3113 tablet outside and took a few pictures.
No problems at all.
My build number is IMM76D.P3113UEBLG2. Android 4.0.4.
Seems to make a difference which direction the camera sensor is and the direction of the sun.
Also how bright it is outside when the tab takes the grey pics.
Sometimes a few pics will come out good, then if u keep taking pics, they come out blank grey or the tab locks up and I have to reboot.

I have noticed that you can force it to take pictures if you dump the resolution down to 1.4m. This issue is really annoying it's obviously a software issue with the stock camera app as 3rd party apps work just fine.
Same issue here on P3100. Mine usually freezes and I had to do a full reboot for other apps to be able to use the camera again. Guess there isn't a solutionnafter all. Maybe a ROM update will fix this but only God knows when Samsung will release an update. Nice moves Samsung.

My device is P3100 India. Maybe you or someone else can extract the Camera apk or a Titanium Backup of the app and we can try that on our devices. I'm hoping it works.
Found a solution. Reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik. I just did that like 5 minutes ago, clicked about 10+ pictures in bright sunlight and everythings working great so far. Hoping this is it.

Is it right for the front camera to not work using an ics rom?

who said that? its working just fine but there is an issue, videocalls in skype are green regardless of camera chosen
If the quality is bad, check for dust. My front facing camera will degrade 40ish% (literally) after a week cause of dust build up.
Is won't work at all in camera mode, I don't no why it must just be mine. It hasn't worked with various roms. Should I re install the firmware? I don't really use it but its annoying to no it won't work, thanks

I don't have that issue, Skype with video calling works just fine for me. Maybe it is simply an unresolved bug on OP's ROM if he is rooted?

ICS Sense ROMS, specifically. I think AOSP ROMs don't have that problem.
OP, what do you mean by "not work"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
I mean not work as in neither using camera or Skype etc. I have used sense roms and aosp. Currently I'm using dan sharpys stripped rom. But like I say it won't work in any rom. When I select it in camera I don't get any errors etc I just get a black screen, I have made sure its clean. Any help would be great!

Actually now, if I switch to it, it causes my phone to reboot?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
In that case it could be a hardware problem. I've read about a few people having this problem (black front camera screen on a few ROMs and the camera app freezing) but there seems to be no concrete solution for it.
I'm having this problem too. Ever since I upgraded to ICS OTA my front camera has not worked in any application and usually causes the phone to freeze then reboot.
Glad I'm not the only one, just like worldofglass it happened when i upgraded to ics

Hi, i am also having that problem. Yesterday I noticed that my front camera won't work at all. This morning was working just fine, but I was in my car when I tried it, so I just tried it once. Few hours later it won't work again. Once when I tried to turn it on, phone restarted (but just once)... I can se settings, effects and all other buttons on screen, but everything other on screen is black. I have official ICS, and sense 3.6.
Please if anyone solve this problem or find out it's nature (hardware or software) let us others know.
Thnx!
Any answers for this? Habe tried various roms and even re flashing firm ware but still no front camera. My phone just freezes and force closes any app using the camera. Any help appreciated.

So it doesn't look like anyone's found a fix for this?
Like cartermg120, I've tried numerous ROMs (ARHD, LeeDroid, Elegance + CM 9 nightly) and re-flashed the firmware from HERE. Nothing has fixed it.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to flash the latest official RUU (HERE)?
I suppose that would be a good way to check whether it's a H/W or S/W problem and if H/W, the phone could be returned for a warranty repair...
Front facing camera.
Me too, front facing camera has never worked since the ICS OTA update. Any suggestions?

I have that issue as well. I have been using Virtuous Inquisition rom and when selecting front camera on any app that uses capture, screen goes black. I can continue using the phone except the camera will not work, front or back. I have to reboot in order to be able to use the back camera.

I expect this has been tried, but when I installed cm9 my camera kept playing up, front and back. I wiped data and cache in camera apk, booted to recovery, fixed permissions wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. After a long reboot my camera worked fine. Worth a go if nothing else.

Did this fix your issue?
Its a "common" HTC problem. 2 of my friends also experienced this with a 2011 and 2010 smartphone. After some time it worked by itself. I also had this for 1-2 weeks and it worked after i cleared camera cache or rebooted (it still occured but after some weeks it was gone completly). If you want clear your system cache in CWM or install a new ROM.
My camera only works on Tweaked. Any other rom including stock gives a camera failed warning when taking pictures. Taking video sol works, only picture taking fails. Any ideas?

No real good ideas. My wife's droid charge does the same. I put Tweaked on her phone a couple weeks ago and the problem went away for awhile then came back. After many restarts, it sounds like the camera hardware is malfunctioning. Especially when auto focus and flash are on.

Tried to look for this in forums but didnt find it so made this topic
Well the problem is the camera doesnt really start taking panorama until it comes to a brighter part of the room and also after very careful movement the panorama stitched is very stretched or so ? And most of the times even after the panorama is completed it just doesnt stitch it.. It goes aways like i didnt take any photos at all
Tried restoring to factory setting and stuff many times still no use.

.. then it could be hardware related :/
I have the n915fy version of note edge. When i turn on the camera, it take about 15 -30 secs for the auto focus to respond/start working. I upgraded to lollipop 5.0.1 few days after purchase but did not take note of this issue before upgrade. When i clear camera cache and data, the problem gets fixed for the first time of camera use but problem comes back after first use of camera. What could be the cause and what is the suggested solutions.
Same problem here, not fixed yet. I noticed that autofocusing is instant if the phone is very hot...

Rightly said, i guess its a hardware issue, since updates did not fix it. The only way i get quicker focus is by tapping the phone close to the lens. Could be weird sometimes.
