Hi guys, I bought the nexus 5 32gb on the play store a week ago, now I realize that in the camera does not have the option to activate the front cam. I've tried using other apps, factory reset, safe mode, but nothing .. Has anyone had the same problem? I need to request the replacement?
thanks
RMA it. If it's not available in camera and you haven't modified the ROM or kernel, then it's hardware

Did you have another thread about that here?
Anyways, what makes you think a custom ROM will fix your camera? A stock phone should have a working camera, period.
Have you tried downloading a third party camera app, like Camera 360 or Vignette demos to see if the camera will work with them?
How do you know the camera isn't defective, hardware-wise?
You're just going to complicate returning the phone for warranty or exchange by rooting it; so make sure you have good hardware first. Exchange the phone if the camera doesn't work...
I purchase second hand everything else works but the camera nothing else force closes

Maybe busted camera is why they sold it...?
Please try going to the Settings/Applications/Manage Applications menu. Click on All apps. Scroll down to Camera. Tap it. On the screen that opens, try clicking on Clear Data and Clear Cache (if it's able).
Also, I really suggest you try a free camera app like Vignette Demo or something else to see if they work.
Do you have any apps that use the camera, like maybe the barcode scanner app, or Google Goggles? Do the work?
Have you tried a factory reset on the phone?
I'm all for rooting, but if you're only rooting to try to fix the camera, doesn't make sense. More back on topic, the original response you got with the link is the simplest way.
Yea I have tried every free camera app and nothing works and I hard reset and clear cache multiple times I'm sure its a hardware issue but with rooting I was hoping to flash a new Tom and pray the software would fix the camera but for now I need a stock camera apk

call samsung to have it serviced
or get the seller to refund the money back to you
Send it back to Samsung. The camera should work fine with the stock software. Rooting only has the potential to cause problems, since you don't know what the issue is.

I am pretty sure you aren't going to be able to replace the one you already have anyways. I think you would need to be rooted. If ALL camera apps are force closing, it isn't the stock camera app. You need to service it with Samsung.
I have the wifi edition Xoom mz604 and have changed to the US rom from Motorola's site. The flashing went fine and I received all the OTA updates so I have Android 4.0.4 now, but my front camera does not work. If I go to take a picture it is a green screen with lines moving throughout it, the rear camera works fine but that does me no good for Skype.
Has anyone ever had this problem? Anything I could try to fix it? All help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried every camera app on the market with the same results also
Thank You

Got the same problem here since long time ago, seems like a hardware problem, maybe if you have the guaratee available you can ask to raplace the damage part. In my case im from MX and my tables was bought in US so no way to have guarantee here, just buy an OEM front facing camera from Ebay and hope somebody can send me the camera to replace.
As much as it sucks, if you want to eliminate the possibilities, you're gonna have to flash another rom and see if it happens.
Hmmm well guess I will start by going back to stock and re-locking it as it will need to be like that for warranty anyways. The tablet is 2 weeks old so I got lots of warranty on it still lol.
Thanks all

Hello,
I just unboxed and connected my Nexus 5, i cant find the camera app anywhere in the phone and when I download a third party camera app it only lets me use the front camera, no option to change cameras. The front camera works fine. Any ideas?
Thanks
Try a factory reset. If that doesn't help then you need to do an RMA.

Just curious if anyone has given the new Google Camera a try? I tried once a few versions ago by just side loading it, and it was a crash factory. Was not sure if anyone had tried the Slim ROM camera patch, and if they had any success.
I tried that when it first came out it works

Guys, since I updated to the latest Google Camera I'm unable to zoom in no hdr+ mode. If however I switch to hdr+ it zooms fine.
I'm running a rooted nexus 5 on kitkat 4.4.4 and stock ROM.
I've switched off and on again and still no luck.
It's pinch zoom and it's awful to be fair

Hi Ben thanks for your reply. I have been pinching to zoom. But after the recent update it no longer works except in hdr+ mode.
Very strange... you might have to try a factory reset?
Faced same problem.
Go to play store. Uninstall the camera app updates. Then re update the app. This solved the problem for me.

Thanks mate. I tried that a last week and worked a treat.
