Oke lets go the point, i replace my volume flex yesterday, i dunno what did i do, but now i cant use my rear camera(main camera), im not sure if i touch the camera module or not. But when i open the camera, it automatically open the front facing camera, no option to change it to rear camera.
All 3rd camera apps didnt work too.
I installed hardware detector apps from store, it showing my main camera is the front facing camera, the the secondary camera is 'disabled'
Can someone here make sure that my problem is about the camera hardware?
I tried clear wipe cache dll, reflash rom, remove sd card, but no luck.
Any answer will be great
sorry before..i don't know anything detailed about phone hardware...
but just my guess.. i think maybe there's something about the cable or everything the name is (i don't know what's that)..that are not correctly attached or something that are already unattached from the camera module while you try to open it or changed it that volume flex by accidentally..and you've already forget or missed that things while you assemble it that phone again..
did you already try to dissemble it again to check everything in detailed...that all is already correctly in the right position..?

My camera suddenly stopped working, I took pictures yesterday as usual but this morning when I tried to take some, well the camera just doesn't want to launch itself..
I tried to go back to official roms and such but it didn't change a thing, is there a solution please I don't wanna say goodbye to my qtek9100 camera function
Anyone please? I really need some help
yo, anyone alive please?
you haven't given much information. Does the camera app start with a black screen? Have you tried to start the app via the shortcut instead of the button. If the camera was bad i'd think the software would still run. Could your button be bad?
No nothing works, it's not even recognized by the pda anymore, I tried to launch it with any way possible, I tried to reflash but it's still not recognized. I also looked if the camera was ok (inside the pda, dunno how to say) but it was still in place, it suddenly stopped being recognized after flashing a rom radio
I didn't really get more answer lol
Anyone please?
if you have problems with camera after flshing original rom, then your hardware is broken.
Hey All,
Replaced my cracked screen this weekend. Everything seems to be back to functional now, EXCEPT
- the ambient light sensor isn't working
- the rear camera isn't working
If I open the camera app (any camera app) it will show the front camera so I see my stupid face, but if I push the "use the other camera" button nothing happens.
Entirely possible I messed something up in the reassembly, BUT before I go and take the thing apart again I was wondering if there was anything I could try from a software / firmware perspective first.

Well, I am not the biggest hardware person, but I believe you can run the RUU and detect if it is a hardware issue. Again, I am not sure, you may want to double check.
Bump, anyone else have any suggestions for ways to "wake up" my camera?
FYI for anyone else who stumbled upon this thread - the problem was a disconnected ribbon cable that I missed. Between the motherboard and the plate that the camera sits on it a TINY ribbon cable (lengthwise) that has to plug into the back of the motherboard. It's nearly impossible to get even the tiniest tool in between the motherboard and the front assembly while this cable can reach its connector. So if you end up in this situation, have a lot of patience. I don't know if there's a way to get the screen off WITHOUT disconnecting this cable, but I certainly couldn't find one.
Hi, I'm having an issue with my Nexus 5 which is that the front and back cameras as well as the back LED no longer seem to function. This happens in the stock Camera app where as soon as it is opened, an 'Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.' message comes up and blackness is shown. This also happens in third party apps such as Snapchat where the message 'Snapchat was unable to open the camera. You may need to restart your device ' comes up. In addition, upon attempting to use Tesla LED, the back facing LED does not turn on.
The likely cause that I can see is the recent screen replacement that took place. I ordered this[1] online which came with a new set of cameras as well as a new screen. I took the motherboard, battery and rear case from the old phone and attached them to the new set of cameras and the new screen.
After performing the replacement, everything else worked except the cameras and the LED.
Upon seeing the issue, I tried swapping out the new rear facing camera (that came with the screen replacement) for the old rear facing camera that was in the old phone (the camera still worked before the replacement). After swapping the rear camera the issue was unchanged.
I have tried the following in terms of software fixes:
-Other camera applications - they crash or are black
-Clear cache and application data for the stock camera app - no effect
-Change to ART - no effect
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice that you can offer.
I'd reinstall stock rom and gapps, if they still don't work you know it's a hardware problem for sure. Then troubleshoot from there.

I factory reset the device and tried the default Google Apps, still having the same issues.
Any suggestions for hardware trouble shooting?

As for hardware trouble shooting, being that you know the original cameras worked, all you can do is check the connections . I'd unplug them and plug them back in.
I'd also try flashing the 4.4 stock camera zip and see if that works.

I tried reattaching all of the physical connections and that did not seem to make a difference.
In regards to flashing the 4.4 stock camera zip, would you be able to give me a little guidance as to how that process would occur?
Thanks so much for your help so far.
You'd need to root, install a custom recovery (twrp), use titanium backup to uninstall camera. Then boot into your custom recovery and install the camera zip.

Sorry for such a long response time.
I updated the phone to 4.4.3.
Interestingly the back facing camera appears to have started working. The default camera application still fails to open, but when I use another application (Snapchat) and have it set to try the backfacing camera first, everything seems to work ok. However, when I switch to front facing the application says that it can't find the camera.
In addition, the back facing LED has begun to work again as well.
Previously, I had switched out the new rear facing camera (that came with the casing) for the old rear facing camera hoping that it might changes things. I recognize retrospectively that my method of testing was flawed as it seems as though regardless of whether one of the cameras is/was working the application would not open.
Hoping that the replacement of the rear facing had caused it to start working, I swapped out the new front facing camera for the old one. Upon testing, the issues with the front facing camera seem to persist.
At this point I'm not sure how to proceed. The lack of functionality of both front facing cameras (the old and the new) would seem to suggest an issue with the connector on the motherboard if the problem were hardware based. I'm not sure, though, if the problem could somehow be in software.
One software phenomenon that I observed is that as soon as I try to use the front facing camera, the back facing camera stops working again requiring the application to be reset. This occurrence has led me to question the causation between the update and the new functionality. It is possible that in my testing of the device before the update, I had simply been opening the front facing camera and upon seeing it fail, and trying the back facing camera and seeing it fail (because I had tried the front facing camera), that I assumed it was not working.
If you have any recommendations on how to proceed I would greatly appreciate hearing them. If not then thanks for all your help.

Any updates mate? Did you made it work ?
I opened my nexus to fix the gps. Everything worked fine, until suddenly gps stopped working. I opened again, remove the fix, still the same.
Then my camera stopped working as well. "Cannot connect to camera" or something like this it gave me.
I've updated from 4.4.4 kitkat to android L latest build, and gps works but the camera app crashes, as well as any other camera on market ( either black screen or crash ).
Any help for me ?
Any answer it will be appreciated.
Same exact issue with front facing camera after glass replacement. Anybody find a fix yet?
hello, i have got this line in my front camera, whatever i do its not going away, formatting, re-installing the same firmware, messing with camera settings, trying the opencamera app.
It sounds like it is likely a hardware error in that case, seems your camera somehow got damaged.
actually this guy has same problem
https://c.mi.com/thread-2990028-1-0.html
and this guy mentioned that he got this problem when he updated his software

Quick Question: i am at V11.0.9.0.PFDMIXM Global Mi Note 10 Pro.
without unlocking bootloader, can i use miflash to downgrade?
well i was able to unlock today, and tried every single rom, all of them (china+russia+global+eea) for both (recovery+fastboot), even replacing persist, but to no avail. I then ultimately opened it up, and tried removing the flex camera cable and re-applying, that also didnt help. Still the line is their, its in the camera lens i am assuming somehow. I think my only option is to replace the front camera module, now can anyone please help me/guide me from where can i get the front camera module, tried the aliexpress and google engine, but to no avail. Please find the pic attached for the camera module. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Try to erase the data in the apps.
Install GCam_5.1android11.200706.1149build-7.4.104 and test(if android 11)
Reset the phone.
I have the same problem. did you solve the problem?
remove data in app settings
check apkmirror for xiaomi camera and update/ or re-install
check with any camera app from playstore if its the same behaviour?

Other apps have also the same issue?
In that case a hard reset might be the last option.
If it would persist even after this, I would assume you have an hardware issue.
The modules are cheap on aliexpress

I had the same problem, but I solved it,
Remove the rear panel, remove the top cover. The popup camera has a connection cable (make sure it is not damaged), it was not in the right place, just turn it back on, restart the phone and then it was work again.
I had previously replaced the data cable on the phone, so my camera did not work.
