Front camera icon disappeared - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi:
I have a Moto G and I was using Skype without problems but today I have seen that my fornt camera didn't work on Skype neither in camera application. There is not the icon to change to the front camera.
It could be a software or a hardware problem?

Any ideas?
I'm not sure but I thing it's a hardware issue.

Camera Focus lock issue.

Hi everyone, i want suggestions guys, my opo's main camera focus is acting weird since last update, it was working great on 44s and then i updated it and the camera stopped working, cell phone showed theres no main camera attached to board, like camera app opened with front camera on by default, and there was no camera switching button. So i decided to deassemble the device thinking that it was some hardware issue, but everything looked fine in there, so i just disconnected and reconnected the camera sensor ribbon/connector to board just to make sure, and restarted device, canera came back somehow, but since then camera focus lock became horrible, anything out of 2feet range is blurred and out of focus, when cell auto focuses, theres a perfect focus point but camera locks its focus after that on blurred image, yesterday i flashed back to 44s and camera focus became a bit better, not perfect but way better than before, so now i think it is not entirely a hardware issue, something in camera firmware or drivers, can somebody help me on this issue please?
Same as mine after updating to lollipop.
guys please help saw something in the youtube about nexus 5 having the same issue fixed by tasker app running shell script. killall mm-daemon-camera tred but not working maybe some dev can help us use this method to fix the issue.

[Q] Front facing camera not working on Android M

Hello,
I installed the developer preview as soon as it came out. Today I noticed my front facing camera is not working. It was working 3 days ago. In the stock camera app, the button to switch to front facing is not present. I installed a couple of other apps and there is no option for the front facing camera there too. So I tried to wipe the stock camera app's data. After that, the app does not start at all, it just crashes. 3rd party apps still work, but just for the rear camera.
I tried to reflash the system image for android m, but still, the problem persists. I happen to have a spare front facing camera from another broken nexus 5 (RIP old friend), and I still have this issue. Anyone got any ideas?

Problem with Camera app crashing after replacing rear camera

Hi
I just replaced the rear facing camera of my HTC one M8 and the camera app keep crashing unexpectedly and other apps with camera functions also crash or just show black and now way to switch to front facing.
I tried swaping back in the old camera with broken autofocus and it works. There is no bent pins on new camera so installation should have been successful.
Is this common after replacing a camera on phones and i need to do some form of software tweak to make the new one work or could this be a issue with the replacement part?
Thanks for all help.

Broken screen, stop work front camera

Hey there, past weeks I broke my nexus 5 screen, was broken only it, fully functionally, then I take that to a store to change it. Now I discover that front camera doesn't work more. Tried with whatsapp videocall, duo, camera app, they all crash. Could it be possible that incompatible screen?Thanks
The screen has nothing to do with the camera as the camera connects directly to the motherboard.
Do you get an error that the app can't connect to the camera or the image from the front camera is blank?
@Manexu - What happen next? Did you got it fixed?
I am also facing same issue. On my mobile front camera is not displayed.
