Hi everyone.
I have huawei P9 plus VIE-L29 with microsd card attached, i was video recording a concert and trying camera features randomly when my storage became full and i changed the saving directory to the sd card and it was ok. After that i noticed sometimes when i switch between the front and rear camera the camera app freezes or crashes. And sometimes it works fine. The problem developed till the rear camera is not working at all but the front camera and flashlight are working fine. Then sometimes after restarting the phone the front camera and back flashlight started not to work. Randomly also sometimes they both work and sometimes they dont. Tried to put new software and permnantly unlocked my phone for this and it didnt work. Yesterday tried to change the camera piece front and rear and the same issue ! ... Its like not a software or a hardware problem ! What kind of problem is this please ? ... Sorry for being so talkative just tried to mention everything happened

Rear camera disappeared last night. Started with the camera force closing, and after a reboot only the front camera works, rear doesn't even show in menus. Using Fluent ROM, was on 7.2 and then wiped/flashed 7.5 and still the same issue. At work atm and can't try much, but has anyone had a similar issue and some advice, or am I screwed? Flashlight apps still turn on the LEDs for what its worth.
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?
Hi, I need your advice. I have a Flex 2 17 months old. There was version 6.0.1 20C. I tried without a SIM card and memory card. Suddently my camera stopped working. It turns on, but the black image, it starts working the moment the front and rear camera, stucks after a few seconds and camera stopped responding. Sometimes Works and I take some pictures, but is not possible to turn on the flashlight. I tried to downgrade to 5.1.1, did a complete wipe, switched to root, but the symptoms are more or less always the same. Currently flashed 6.0.1. Anything else what to try? Thus it seems as a soft issue
its hw issue
this happens from time to time on my flex 2 . The camera module became lose and it shows error or its just black screen.You can solve this issue by slapping hard your phone few times against your leg.. not a great solution but works. the screen must face to your leg. or you can take it appart and reconect the camera module. i hope i helped .
I have had no issues at all for almost an year with this phone. I was running oreo ever since I bought this phone. Suddenly, a day or two before upgrading it to pie 9.0, I found out in my Snapchat app that there was no back camera sign. First I thought, some weird snap update, but then I found out in system Camera app, it was even not showing the back camera. Whenever I would click on the rear camera sign from the top in Camera app, it would keep on swapping to the frontal secondary camera and then back to the primary frontal camera but no back camera was working. Also I found out that my Flashlight icon is hardened or greyed out, like it's been disabled forcefully. I can make it work using some other app, but it is frustrating why this is happening.
Now I am on android 9, rooted, and this problem keeps on coming and going. At times the back camera won't even work or open with the error "Camera not working" etc. Sometimes, the back camera would work but with only 3 weirded resolutions, like 12MP, 16MP, and some other. and the video mode will be extremely large or zoomed in at 16MP. Suddenly, the camera will start working normally again with all the perfect default resolutions. I tried everything from SAFE MODE to CLEARING THE CAM APP, RESETTING THE APP, but nothing works. All it seems like that camera has suddenly came to life and has a self-consciousness and a mood which it is controlling itself. Sometimes it wants to work and at times, it simply just gets disabled. Any idea what could be the problem? I am rooted using MAGISK.
Simular camera problems with Lenovo tab v7
I have a Lenovo tab v7 with almost the same problems, the rear camera wont work but occasionally the front camera works and the flash LED is dead.
Running Android 9 Pie as well, but not rooted yet.
Any ideas about what we can do about it, is the camera hardware due to be replaced?

It suddenly started happening almost a month ago, I was on oreo 8 and then upgraded to pie 9 but the problem persisted. It kept working for few days and then started to make problems again. I tried to read many forums for android users with the same problem but still haven't found a single complete fix for this problem other than that the rear camera needs to be refixed. But I am finding it hard to believe that even if camera was getting bad, there is no point of FlashLight getting greyed out/disable from the notification bar. It seems more like some kind of a process is not releasing the rear camera and flashlight module/process.
Hi everyone,
Has anyone experienced an issue with the camera?
Since my phone overheated, about 3 weeks ago, staying under the sun, I can't use the rear camera... I had the overheating warning pop up.
Basically if I launch the app, the app freezes, I can't switch to different rear cameras (wide, regular, telezoom) nor switch to front camera.
Sometimes I get a pop-up saying "can not connect to camera".
I can launch selfie mode directly from the app shortcut (by long pressing), other apps can't access the rear camera either and clearing cache of the camera app didn't change anything.
So, I had to change the back cover of the phone that had been previously cracked (nothing to do the camera not working), and I benefited the phone opened to try with disconnected cameras:
Telephoto works well, super wide as well.
Funny thing: the phone can use only the super wide camera to do both x0,6 and x1 (you don't notice that the main camera is not used).
Main camera worked.
2nd funny thing : portrait mode works perfectly without the Tof sensor being plugged in...
I plugged back the Tof sensor, it was still working, but stopped after restarting the phone. I removed it, cleared cache, it started to work again. I plugged the Tof sensor back in, it was working... I glued back the cover, and had the camera stop working within few minutes...
Long story short, has anyone experienced an issue with the Tof sensor? Which doesn't seem to be very useful...
I guess I'll try to remove it completely and check if the camera becomes stable.
I didn't find this part being sold :/
