I installed cm-11-20140211, cm-11-20140212, cm-11-20140213 and cm-11-20140214-NIGHTLY-skyrocket. Everything is working fine but the front camera does not turn on. Have a fix?
Sounds like a hardware issue. Do a full wipe and restore to stock ucmc1 and try again. If switching to front camera freezes and crashes out of the camera app then it is hardware.
Buy a front camera off eBay, watch a YouTube video if you haven't opened one of these phones so you don't break anything, and finally swap it out!
Cheers,

Thank you. I did a full wipe and re-install the stock ROM, but I still did not work. I bought from ebay front camera, when it comes to going to change.

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?

Take off back cover take a cloth and clean where the front camera is? And OP sounds like a hardware issue more then anything else..

Install the latest OPEN GL DRIVER for ADRENO. It solved my green video issue.

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
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.

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.

Anyone have this problem? My phone just all the sudden won't allow me to use the rear camera. Any app I open that requires the camera it defaults to the front facing and doesn't have an option to switch to the rear camera.
Possible that my camera module has fried???

Possible. But first try flashing the factory images. It might fix it. If not, then you would have to RMA.
Here is screen shot
Just in case anyone is curious...update: factory restored the device to 4.4 and 4.4.2 but camera was still broken. Camera didn't work in safe mode either. Also found out out that the flashlight app didn't detect the flash either. So something was definitely wrong with the hardware. In process of getting RMA from Google.

I have a problem with my back camera when using flash, it sometimes has a line on the left side of the screen and looks like the flash has only flashed on one part of the screen
Here's a picture. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxcEVZzCQAAI7Ny.jpg
Please try with Google Camera or another camera app to exclude an hardware issue.

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...

I think this is hardware issue. If you shake it you will get focus fast.

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.
