I downloaded ics camera plus from the market. Took a few pictures and now the stock camera does not have the green line anymore. Let me know if this works for you.

Are you talking about "Camera ICS+" by moblynx? I downloaded the free version "Camera ICS" but all I got was a black screen when I opened up the app.

Yes, Just take a picture with it and the screen will come on.
I flashed I2IEAILiiTY's ICS ROM last night and just took a picture and I see no green bar. Thanks for your suggestion anyway!
I'm running creamed glacier by Zips rom and every time i open the camera app it runs for a few seconds and then it stops and says "unfortunate, camera has stop working" i wiped and reflashed the rom but no luck. you guys know how to fix this?
Yes it works hut you have to get the paid one. It also works with stock camera without having to get that app. Just take a bunch of pictures with it and it'll eventually go away and stay away. Just tested on two different phones.

Is it right for the front camera to not work using an ics rom?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
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.

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 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.

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.
My camera makes a subtle "click" now when I open or close it, regardless of which camera app I'm using. Any idea what's causing that, or if it's dangerous in any way?

Do you know if it's coming from the speaker or the camera hardware. I don't hear a click on my phone so it could be the hardware itself coming lose. I turned on sound feedback to see if it clicked when opened and no sound either. Not sure what it could be. But if the camera is failing the worse that will happen is you will no longer have a camera. It's not dangerous in anyway I know of.
It doesn't do it on your vanilla stock, revolution hd, or cyanogen. As a matter of fact, after a restore, I just checked it, and it isn't doing it anymore. Weird. Maybe been a random glitch. I had to reboot several times to get the lock screen shortcuts you work. Not sure what was up with that.

Its not the Rom. It's your phone. Don't know what to tell ya.

If it were my phone, wouldn't it be doing it on other ROMs (it doesn't do it on your rooted stock)? And it's not coming from the speaker: I've isolated the click to the actual camera. Is there a way to remove or disable the camera upgrade and see if that's what my phone doesn't like here? Otherwise, the ROM is perfect. My fave so far: revolution 7.0.4 just doesn't "feel" as solid to me.

That's the thing there is nothing that I did to the camera. It's complete stock and your the only person out of over 500 downloads that has mentioned this. If it was an issue then I would be getting more than one report. I also am using the same version and hear no click. The only thing that may be the cause is the kernel I am using but I don't see how. If you want, flash the bd ace kernel and see if it still happens. It could be a combo of a failing camera and the kernel I'm using. I don't think your crazy I just think there is something unique happening here. Wish I could be more help but without the device in my hand I can only make guesses.

I'm gonna try redownloading your ROM, checking the md5 (is that necessary or just on radios?), in case I got a corrupted download first. Your work is awesome, believe me. I really like this ROM. I just noticed that click noise, but the camera works fine. If that doesn't work, I'll try the kernel you mentioned next. If all else fails, I'll take it down to vanilla stock. Thanks so much for your trouble.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Ok, so nothing made a difference. It only makes the noise about 50% of the time. I googled it, and could only find a couple of Android Central posts about the same problem. You're 100% right: IT ISN'T THE ROM. Mine now does it in stock too. However, the others who posted it happening stated it was either "normal" or "it isn't hurting anything. Camera works fine months later." That gives me relief. Sounds like it's probably just old age. Some moving part getting crusty or something. Cool. Thanks for your input, giz.

I bought the phone used so im not sure if it was dropped previously. I never tried the camera on bone stock because i rooted and flashed a rom as soon as i got it. I didnt think to check the front camera until recently when i went to check the quality and saw that it did not work. I tried it on stock rooted, cm7, all the other cm7 based roms (shendu, lezo,etc), weapon g2x etc. with no luck
