Samsung Galaxy j7 front camera issue - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, my front camera is having an issue of black screen and I've done all possible software tips to fix it but none worked. The special thing about it is that when the camera sees light it shows some blue lines on the screen and when I move my hand over it you could see the lines go away meaning somehow it's able to see the light.. I just wanted to ask for your opinions if it's a hardworking (Which it kinda looks like) and if the fact that it sees light mean anything. Maybe it just popped out slightly from its port. Thank you

This is how it appears when the camera sees light..

You can use Camera from play store Download and install. You are using ' cm ' so its a script problem and code brake .
Ask your Developer to fix It.

[Q] Stock Camera not working in Sensation

Hi, i've bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC Sensation and was running Android Revolution HD for Sensation gingerbread. my Camera app has suddenly stopped working... I've tried updating to latest ICS from Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 but still the camera is not working. when i start the app... the screen flashes and then again I'm back on the home screen. Strangely, when using application "mirror" it starts the front camera... and that is working fine... and i've tried multiple apps from market for back camera...but its not working using any of them... can you please help me out with this... any help in this would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

this is weird did you tried other camera apps?
if its still not working then
do a superwipe and flash rom again and see(this method erases data ..so backp them before hand)
Similar problem, if i click the camera or camcorder icon the screen goes black, it either stays black until i take the battery out or it crashes and restarts?! Weird, cant use it to take pics in any other apps either. front camera is fine on skype though...!? everything is uptodate nothing was updated recently?! Anyone
(Im on stock)
This happened to me once when i was stock. I would do a battery pull and it would work again..but finally did a hard restore through recovery and cleared all the caches and that worked. Now im rooted and on energy GB rom and I have not had that problem anymore.
Just flashing a new rom did not help. I actually had to do a factory reset on the ROM as well..in the Setting/storage.
Never ran into this problem

Have u tried maybe a different rom??
sent from thy phone
I would suggest clearing the app data.
Have you news. I have the same problem and have yet to find any solution. If you have one I'd be grateful for it.

Go to Task Manager>>Advanced>>All apps>>Find the Camera app and select it>>Force Close if it is running & then Clear Data.
This should fix it.
If not, get this app. Go to primary and secondary camera, & check if they both work.
If it works, then there's a problem with the stock app.
If not, there is either a problem with the camera or with camera access.
I would suggest reflashing your current ROM, since this seems to solve issues, many a time.
Try installing another pyramid
have you tried to download a special or customized pyramid from the sensation android development department and then tried out your 4g??? a customized pyramid + tweaks will allow the htc camera to work because the htc family usually creates htc's like as if they were real babies.. the htc's adapt to you and then little by little all the problems like "over-heating reset, camera faults and random keyboard touches" are common problems with the htc... installing a different pyramid or returning it for another new one will usually fix this..

Any help would be much appreciated!

As far as I can tell, your camera is not being detected.
I would recommend that you do this:
1>NANDROID backup
2>SuperWipe (it can be found in this post at the very end)
3>Re-install ROM (Remember to check MD5 before installing)
4>Check if the Camera works.
If not, then Super Wipe and restore your previous backup.
If it works, get back to me. (PM me if I don't reply)
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

[Q] Mysteriuos Camera Failed ErrorCallback.onError(-2147483648)

Whenever I open the Camera app on my Galaxy Y pro Duos Gt-5512, it shows this awkward view on the display (as if some special effect is switched on). the 1st and 2nd files attached down show the view at the display of my phone whenever I open the camera app,
The 3rd image is the similar to 1st one using other(normal) camera.
In the rear camera mode when I click the capture icon on the screen it shows the error (shown in 4th image) it doesn't capture the image and the camera application exits. Also when I switch to front facing camera it shows the same awkward colors but I am able to capture the image using the front camera(it doesn't give any error, that is how I am able to attach the 1st and 2nd image.).
What shall I do to bring back the original colors in my camera?
PS- I have changed the phone's firmware couple of times. I even flashed the factory firmware, still its the same story. At present I use Custom ROM (Hatyon ROM v1.1), and Compact kernel 2.5.

I'm encountering the same issue. However the phone I'm fixing is a Samsung GT-B5510 which is the single SIM version of GT-B5512.
Were you able to solve this issue already?
I have tried the following:
1. Wipe data / cache - it didn't solve the issue
I will have to try this when I get the phone back:

You can try this one out if this would work. Since wiping, reflashing doesn't work, it could be an issue with the data stored in the SD card as pointed out in the URL above.

how could it be solved by the method in the link you poster?i have completely flashed the Software. and still the problem persists. if you think tghe problem is in the mem card, then remove/unmount the mem card and then open the camera app it will show the same kind of crazy colors and end up with the same error..
thirdly the directory path shown by that person is non existing. i am not able to find /phone when i connect my samsung to PC. it just lets me access the MemCard .
Thanks
PS: how did you started getting this error?? did you drop it? flashed a worng firmware??

Thanks for trying it out.
I'm not pretty sure if the cause was when the Samsung's latest OTA firmware update was applied. So far that was the only thing that the owner reported. Though he hasn't tried using the camera right after the update was applied. 2-3 months have passed before he tried using the camera app again then found out that it's throwing the error.
So the assumption is, the official firmware update caused the issue.

Firstly, go to/press recent apps button on the on screen button > close the camera app, and then Try to go to settings > apps > swipe right until you find the all apps tab > scroll down until you found the camera app > go to it > press force stop > scroll down, press clear cache > clear data too > restart your phone > open your camera app

CM11 >> Camera working
CM13 >> Camera not working
4.2.2 Stock >> Camera not working
I did format /system /cache /data
factory reset
installed CWM, TWRP and CM recovery all same issue.
Only working was CM11 (but usage was too laggy etc.)
What I have to do? some method to make a total wipe...
Phone never dropped, has been always kept in a closed and used only for testing or backup. And again before CM13 camera was making perfect photos.
thanks

This's really strange I never faced that before
but try those methods I think those will show us if it was hardware or software issue:
1_try to change the ftf file you're flashing
2_try this mod here in stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/mod-camera-cyber-shot-superior-auto-t2501740
3_if didn't work in the two previous methods try to reflash the new CM13 builds and Cm11 builds
if didn't work that means it's hardware issue
I hope that works good luck

If you have bootloader unclocked and custom recovery like twrp in place, then the option with you is to reflash the "fasboot images" of the desired CM version(11S or 12) and then you can revert to the Custom ROM you want and flash full package of GApps version.
thanks for the help. but i figure out the problem.. the camera was not attached properly and i attached it and all is fine now.

rear camera not usable. everytime open camera app, cause phone to reboot

hi guys, I just experienced last few days where by when i installed other custom rom on my opo, suddenly my stock camera app cant be used. rear camera cant focus properly, and after that the phone will reboot. I tried installing other roms as well as changing back to stock rom (i was on cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 unrooted) but problem still persisted. the phone wont reboot as long as i dont open camera app. it happens to all the roms that i installed so far. even after i used fastboot method to restore back to cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 still the same. open camera app, image cant focus (blur), reboot.
now whatever rom i install, either:
1. can open but rear camera image blur, then phone reboot few seconds later
or
2. camera app cannot open, then phone reboot
or
3. camera app rear camera cannot use. only front camera can use
please help! thanks

But that can't do hardware damage,and your issue seems related to hardware only.You should get your device checked from a professional repair shop.
