Hi, recently my front camera has stopped working, with no apparent reason. I have tried clearing the data / cache for the camera so but that hasn't made a difference. I am currently running a rooted, stock rom.
Has anyone got any ideas why this may be happening?
Thanks in advance

Do a data factory reset or reflash the stock image or RMA/Repair Centre. Those are the options, good luck bro
Did you clear data of the gallery app?

I forgot to add, If I restart it starts to work again - so that seems a bit drastic
Thanks

Try to flash system.img in fastboot again, wipe the caches after that and reboot. Hope that helps.

I have installed several different ROMs, including ICS and JellyBeans, and none work for the camera.

It is a hardware issue, not a software issue. Mine is with HTC right now for the THIRD time for the camera...... Now they want to charge me $145 to fix it. Needless to say, never again will I have an HTC device.
Same Problem
I have the same problem, did a factory reset, fresh install of CM 10.2 but nothing.
Always getting the "can't access camera" error.
I'm thinking it is indeed a hardware issue unfortunately, but if anyone finds a solution I'm happy!

Hi guys...
I have my Nexus 5 for 2 months and I am using the newest version of Android Kit Kat (OTA) and stock..
The problem is, the HDR+ icon is gone, can't use this anymore (I've used this 2 weeks ago), tried to clear data/cache of the camera APP , flash is off, still no icon...
Any solution?
Thanks!!!
Screen attached
Hi,
Clear data/cache of camera app and reboot the device. If this doesn't help then, Open the camera app and touch and hold anywhere on the screen for a few seconds ... 4 options would be displayed there which includes the HDR+ option as well.

If you were rooted, we could have tried to push the stock camera apk and see but without root, such problems have only one solution : Freakin Factory Reset!
before taking that step, wait for a while and lets see what others have to say about this.

Great! Then I would recommend trying this one out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516061
However, don't forget to backup first!

At this point, you'll be wanting to take a Nandroid backup not an app backup, as you'll be modifying /system

Have u logged in your google account because as far as I can remember, we don't see hdr+ unless we have logged in the google accounts.
If yes try removing it and adding it again.

Hi, my display seems to shake, seeming on random. The picture will shake up and down and it makes it impossible to type or do anything until it stops. I don't have any Xposed modules installed and i am running Cataclysm rom with Elemental X kernel. It even does does on the recovery menu and when turning on. Any idea what is causing this and possible fix? Thank you.
I attached a picture of the problem.
I would do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache and cache.
Use helium to backup your stuff
Well, if it does it even in recovery and at boot, I would think that it's an hardware issue...

I had the same problem last week. It’s a hardware issue. Kindly visit your nearest service center if possible asap.

Yes i have, thank you. I'm guessing that due to it happening even on stock that like others have said that it is hardware related so i will give Google a call and hopefully sort out a RMA. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply, i will try get in touch with Google to ask about a RMA. Thanks!
Hey all,
None of the threads related to my issue helped me very much and the issue is still persistent.
Here's what happened. I flashed a new ROM (from CM11 to Purity). Before I flashed, I wiped System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. Usually there's no issue when I proceed with this method. I opened up the camera app and it had no front camera option. I tried other third party apps but still no luck.
I've heard that this is a hardware bug... which kind of confuses me since it was working fine while I was on CM11 M5.
If anyone has any experience with this or has dealt with the same issue, please let me know!
Thanks,

Why not try flashing something else?
I would flash the latest firmware to completely reset your device. If the front camera is working then you should be able to start flashing ROMs again.

I'd also recommend wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode to further eliminate any other possible software issues.
