Hey guys, my camera is only in Black and White. The black and white setting is NOT on! I cannot fix the issue
Ive formatted the phone to stock MIUI but the issue is persistent. Ive also tried multiple camera apps.
Anyone have a fix ?
Im thinking of opening the phone, removing the camera and reinstalling it ?
I have the exact same problem, I believe we should reassemble the camera module. It has nothing to do with software.

Hi all,
Got my new nexus s yesterday haven't used a lot yet but I already have 2 problems.
Yesterday I used the camera with flash light and everything worked fine.
Today I installed the nexus torch app, used it and the led light worked as intended so I switched it off.
After a while I went to use the app again but the led didn't light up so I thought it's an app problem, but when I used the camera app the led doesn't work either in photo or video mode (of course I have the option for the flash to be activated not automatic).
I tried to clear the camera app data, did a factory reset through the settings menu and another from the recovery menu but the results are the same.
Also whenever I try to change the camera to the front face one the camera app freezes and the phone pops up the message to terminate the application.
Is there any solution?
Depending on when you bought it, and if you're rooted/unlocked, I would take it back to SPrint, as it sounds like you've hosed your LED.

Got it back to the local shop that I bought it, it was accepted as DOA and I was given a brand new nexus s.

I recently went to try my camera out and noticed my front camera does not show an image in the camera app. When I enable the red effect, it is kind of flashing. Anything I can try?
anyone????
If it's a stock Transformer, then you've probably got a bad camera.

Only thing I can suggest is clear data for camera.
Settings>Applications>Manage application>All>Camera>Clear data
My front facing camera is dead... used to work, now, nothing. No idea when it happened.

Similar problem
My front camera worked until i installed skype, then kept crashing. uninstalled skype, and now it just shows weird green lines and broken pics, or flicks to the rear camera, but upside down and sorta frozen.
Update to ICS hasnt fixed it.
Any suggestions?

I'm having a problem where the camera works for a couple of hours then just turns completely black and doesn't start working again until i reboot the phone.
When i say works for a couple of hours i don't mean a couple of hours of continuous use but a couple of hours general use of the phone.
I first notice it when I'm unlocking my phone as i have Face Unlock enabled,
The front camera won't start so i have to unlock using the backup unlock method (pattern in my case).
As soon as that happens the camera stops working all together, even in the camera app, like i said, until i restart the phone.
Any ideas ?
I had the same issue last night, I went to take a picture but the camera was just a black screen until I reboot.
I can confirm this as well. Only fix i can tell is a reboot.
Exactly the same problem here... Android 4.4 Bug I guess
Same issue for me, and i also have face unlock enabled. Very annoying.

I didn't wanna say anything as to not jinx it but i tried something that seems to have helped my situation.
I Force Stopped the Camera app in Settings --- Apps and then cleared the app data.
That didn't magically fix it but after doing that AND rebooting my phone i haven't had a problem with the camera.
It hasn't even been a full day yet but it's been working for about 18 hours which is great compared to yesterday's having to reboot every couple of hours.
Same Problem here. Also have face unlock active...
Thanks guys for reporting it here!!! I was really close on exchanging my otherwise perfect phone! Now I really think it's software and not hardware related.

Does anyone here get the bottom of their picture blurred out when they use flash? It always looks like if my finger is covering the lens which is not.

I get my Nexus today/tomorrow. I'll do some diagnostics and see if I can find out what's causing the black screen.
Happened once, black screen, reboot. I wasn't able to reproduce it yet.
So much for my "solution"
Just happened again.
I'm tempted to try a factory reset or flashing a factory image.
If anyone's actually tried this I'd appreciate a heads up.
Same for me

I've had this problem on the Slim rom and flashed the factory image yesterday.
Last night, the camera was working well until I switched to a panorama, then it was black.
After a reboot I wasn't able to reproduce it.

There goes my plan to flash the factory image
I hope that it stays fixed for you but unless someone who has had this problem is able to confirm that they haven't had this happen to them for at least a couple of days I'm gonna stick with "This is a serious problem" (for me at least)
This is very unfortunate! Luckily I haven't come across this issue yet but I haven't used the camera much. BTW does anyone know how to change the focus to continuous? Can't find the option.
Apparently this is related to Face Unlock.

If anyone can confirm this ?
Who has had this problem and not used Face Unlock ?
No idea why this got posted twice.
The only way to "fix" it at the moment, is to turn off face unlock.
My back camera started crashing when i tried to take a picture in complete darkness and ever since i only get a black screen. I have tried to run the phone on safe mode and rebooted many times and it still gives me a black screen. Today i flashed my phone with the factory image and it still broken. I am suspecting this is more than just a software bug. Can anyone confirm this?
Adding myself to the problem with Camera randomly not working, and fix with rebooting.

I'm not too sure if the 1020 lens is supposed to completely shut when the camera is off. Its my wife's phone and she's telling me its stuck open cause the camera apps to crash when enabled.
The Lumia Cyan update is the only factor unless this has happened to prior FW. Is anyone experiencing this? Need help!
Thanks in advance.

I had the same experience with my Lumia 1020, but I am not sure if it caused by the same problem. My front panel was broken and therefore I did remove the front camera and light/contrast sensor. After the update i wasn't able to start any camera application anymore, but before the update I was able to do this. After reconnecting the module it worked fine again. Maybe you could check the front cam or light sensor!,
Good luck

Same here bud. All applications related to the Cameras (front and back) crash when I try to open them.. Even HERE Maps stopped working.
The sad part is that I tried to reflash it using the Lumia Recovery Tool and it does not work either.. I guess because I am part of the Developer Preview Program so I don't have the stock software.. I had to stop using my beloved 1020. :crying:
Hello guys
I opened the camera app and there are strange vertical lines going right to left like on the old tvs and even when i take a photo they are still visible.What can be the cause. Can this be caused by water or something? The story is i was heading home when a warer drop dropped on my screen like on the middle of the screen i have a screen protector and i cleaned the screen so i dont think that caused it .

Have you tried the usual like restarting the device? If so and you still have this issue try clearing the cache for the camera app via app manager in settings. If that still doesn't work try a factory reset.

Start the phone in safe mode and open Samsung test menu with *#0*# (if u can't open it u are probably running a custom ROM with no test menu support in it)
Try the camera test in there. If the problem is still there u have a faulty camera.
So my problem is a bit different but it is still a camera problem. So my camera started acting funny a while ago and mos of the time it wouldn't open at all and blocking the front cam from working as well. So i ordered a new camera module online thinking that was the culprit, as the old one made a rattling noise when opening the camera. At last it arrived today so i swapped the cameras only to find the same problem persisting. I have also tried different firmwares and custom roms but still nothing. Does anyone know a cause or a fix for this problem?
