Hello everyone,
I was one of the brave (and stupid) guys who tried to convert the ultra into a maxx by myself.
After I assembled everything back (new battery and case), I noticed the camera was not working anymore, nor the flashlight or the flashlight app.
I disassembled it many times since then and everything seems fine. The camera module is placed where it should be and the rest seems fine.
Has anyone's camera stopped working?
Mine only shows front facing option now. And I really don't know what to do.
It's probably a hardware issue, so FDR and deleting cache or doing safe mode won't solve anything.
If anyone knows what to do or which replacement part to buy, please tell me.
Make sure that the clip is closed for the camera I had that issue for the droid mini

Hey,
So I cracked my screen, changed it with OEM new parts, and worked great for weeks after the installation.
Now, I'm having camera issues, back camera works fine, but when you switch to front facing camera the app freezes and crashes, and I get cant connect to camera black screen, and at this point the back camera wont work either, if you restart and clear data on camera app the back camera works again, but front facing will never work. Currently, I;m running stock rooted but I've had this issue with rooted custom roms and stock unrooted. I'm not sure if this is related to the screen change or not, but it worked great for weeks after the screen change. and, I;m having the same issue with other camera apps too, no snap chat installed nor any other apps that could conflict.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I am currently dealing with a similar situation. Did you find anything to help fix the problem?
This is almost certainly due a little piece of tape coming off of the ribbon cable. I happened to solve this by cutting a small piece of scotch tape and wrapping it around the ribbon cable so that the underside of the cable is not making contact with the PCB.
I know this is a super late reply but I hope it can help someone in a similar situation!
Hello. So i had the exact same problem as OP. Got my screen replaced (not by me), but a few days after that i noticed that my camera would freeze when trying to change it to the front facing camera. i had issues with messenger and the normal app. i did a few system restores and even unlcoked and installed custom rooted Roms last night. Still freezing on the front camera.
I'm now positive its a hardware connection issue. Anyone else have this issue? I feel i should open the phone and try to fix it.
So my lg flex 2 camera app won't open this happens when i switch to the back camera and that app will not open at all but when its with the front camera it opens and works normally What should i do?
clear data
it happens like that? for no reason?
maybe you should try to delete cache and clear data
Yh it happens for no reason i don't know if it's a camera issues or is it the software
Same problem... Rear camera went from cannot connect to not detected.. My unit is f510l converted to h959... I

I had the same problem.
Took it to LG service and they changed the motherboard in order to fix this.
So it's probably a hardware problem. I suggest you take it to LG service while it's still under warranty.

i have the same problem . tried wiping the phone , tried changing the camera hardware , the camera app , aida64 cant detect it . any fix yet ?
Delete other apps that use thr camera. I deleted snapchat and then the camera worked fine
This issue hit me yesterday. So far, I've tried restarting the phone, deleting the data and cache for all apps that used the camera, and even made a factory reset last night. But the main camera still refused to open. I've had to conclude that this might be a hardware issue. it could just simply the ribbon cable has lost contact, or could be a deeper issue. I'll try to take the phone apart and look inside tonight. If it is not the loose contact issue, I'd order an OEM camera module and replace it myself. (I found a few on eBay and AliExpress with very cheap price).
Yap. I opened the inner back-cover, yank a few ribbon cables and see if it works. Nope, it won't work. I'll order a new camera module and replace it.
If you have tried different modules then its a big possibility of motherboard fault.
I am running into the same problem, the rear camera seems to be the issue. I have tried reconnecting the cable, and it works intermittently with some apps but not others. I am going to order a new camera this weekend but I am moving continents in two weeks so I am trying to find a fast shipping option here, or just go with a camera from china to get to where I am moving.
On that note, I noticed that the camera appears to have the same part number as the LG G3 (Y472B) though I can find nowhere that confirmed that they are identical parts. While the part number is the same, there is a 4 digit number below it, and I'm not sure if that is a batch number or perhaps a dash number. I haven't found any of those numbers that are the same both for the g3 and flex2, but then, the 4 digit number on the ribbon of my phone is different than the numbers I see on replacement parts.
Can anybody confirm or shed some light on whether the rear cameras of the flex2 and G3 are identical (can be used interchangeably)? If so that would give me a lot more options for ordering!
An update to my post. I ordered an lg g3 rear camera and put it in my flex 2. It appears they are identical as my rear camera now works.
I am having troubles with autofocus but manual works. That seems to be a software not a hardware issue though. But for $15 my flex 2 is now back to normal.
To update, after about a day the rear camera stopped working but would work occasionally.
After a few more weeks the phone started looping restarts up to the lock screen then died all together (it would still charge and display it was charging) I reflowed the main board which appears to have solved all problems but I hesitate to advocate it as it is fairly risky and by many accounts only solved issues temporarily
LG Camera Rear work occasionally or camera fail
When the Camera work occasionally, motherboard is the problem. I changed the camera module and the same situation, (LG G FLlex 2 original module), not work, reset, reinstall android with LG Up, all, but not work. As she does, some components it has a (cold soldering). The only option is to warm the 250-300 degree with hot air in that area or other motherboard. All LG's have the same problem, replace the assembly line LG!
Ok, so the problem arose out of the blue yesterday, when the autofocus suddenly stopped working, thinking of it as some cache issue, i cleared camera cache and tried again, doesn't work. Loaded up Manual Camera, neither autofocus, nor manual focus working on it. Booted into a clean installed DirtyUnicorn in multiboot, and focus isn't working their either. So most probably hardware has gone bad somehow.
Followed this thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/SW_adU_hM9o, seems like it's a widespread problem, with no concrete solution, tapping the phone in top right doesn't work for me, though it did crack my tempered glass SP. . Some even claiming that replacement of camera module didn't worked either, and problem persisted for them.
Anyone has a link for genuine camera module with international shipping or to/in India? Service centers are quoting a very steep price of 50-60$. Please help. :crying:

Please, anyone? Ordered a new camera module, replaced it, and still the issue persists. What can be the issue now?
The more frustrating issue im facing is, sometimes, (not all thr time) camera's reverse rotation is not fully occuring and stops still little out side the housing at the same time the camera module is loose enough to go inside the housing and comes out little bit when the phone faced downwards in the air.
If anyone has the same problem, please let me know
EDIT: my phone is running on latest firmware
There is a calibration tool in Settings. It may fix your problem.

No problem here.
Check if your Flip Camera and its metal dock is clean.
Calibrate Flip Camera and check functionality.
Service it.
I also have a problem
The camera thinks something is blocking it when i try a fast flip even if nothing is there and says impossible to flip. Sometimes it works.
I cannot calibrate it because of this problem
And it seems clean.
If i drive the camera manually it works but i can see the beginning of switch is a bit hard.
Retracting camera always works well.
All ideas are good to try
Recently my primary camera stopped working on all apps... don't know why but the front cam works properly on other apps but not in the main camera app.
If I flash a ROM would the Camera work?
I think the camera issue started after the new update!
I have the same exact issue, found any fixes?

Literally same issue I first thought it was software but tried resetting and changing roms Nothing worked so confirmed that it was an hardware issue.
Then went to MI authorised service centre he told it's a common problem for poco X2 devices.
He told 2 things
1. The camera hardware might be broken it can be changed and it costs around 3k INR without service charges.
2. The motherboard might be gone to replace it costs 10k without service charges.
(He also told it might be wantedly triggered in order to force customers buy a new phone but it's not sure)
I too felt something creepy that only rear main and rear Bokeh stopped working others are working very fine.
Same happened to me. Now what?
Primary camera maybe not working because of camera app or drivers, try to flash into custom ROMs.
