Front Camera does not work?! - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hello,
some days ago I got my Mix 2s (Global Stable 9.5.4.0. , yesterdays OTA 9.5.19.0). Everthing seems to be fine, except the front camera: When I select the front camera only the second rear camera always appears. The Same in Google Duo for example. I don´t know if it is a Hardware or a Software Problem. Although the entry for the front camera is displayed in the CTI, the test can not be performed because the device is not responding. What can I do to fix it? The OTA update to 9.5.19.0 did not change anything.

Exact same problem. Got the phone June 11. Updated immediately to 9.5.19.0. Front camera displaying same problem.

Weird, no issues here.

Exact same for me as well. Worked on the first 2 days (out of the box). But now it's gone.
If I click to switch to the front camera, it stays on the rear camera (slightly zoomed in).

Same issue here after updating to latest version 9.5.19.0. Now I have to wait 15 days to be able to unlock the bootloader to flash another rom.. :crying:
Unless there is a way to flash the old version of miui with a locked bootloader?

Works fine on 9.5.19.0

Hi - think I've got the same restriction. Was trying to unlock my Mix 2S last night, but couldn't get anywhere - as the Mi Unlocker software wouldn't recognise my phone (when connected via USB). I didn't know you had to wait 15 days - is this standard?
I was planning to install Android P - to see if this would bring the front camera back.

Yes, front camera still doesn't work. I hope for Android P Update.

Same issue here. Got the phone end of june. Front camera stopped working after a couple days.
Not sure if it's a Software or a Hardware issue though ..
I have the chinese 6/64 version of mi mix 2s.
Today I flashed the latest global miui 10, but the camera still doesn't work.
I'm not sure whether it happened after an update or maybe after it fell to the ground...
Any news on android p?

Same
Hi!
I just having the same problem now! I have been used it for a month with no problem. Last update also was fine. Suddenly today my front camera does not work. I checked on CIT App, also not detecting.
Hardware test front camera does not work
Hardware info, front camera is blank..
What the f actually happened??
Im so pissed of with this.
I never expected to have bad experience everytime i bought flagship from xiaomi.
I should have buy redmi note 5 instead ???

Hi, from Spain with the same problem... There are any solutions??

I tried even re attaching the module and downgrade with fastboot. not working.... what happened?
there is no one selling the front cam part. damn

Exactly same issue here on my Mix2s. Has anybody contacted Xiaomi and got a response or what have you guys done to resolve? Have you bought a replacement front camera module and installed and has that fixed it?
This is the second hardware issue for me, I've already had to replace the screen as that failed, now the front camera? CIT shows and entry for front camera, front camera aux is empty. When trying to use the front camera it just hangs and keeps a blurred image on the screen from the previous rear camera picture.
I don't know if I'd buy Xiaomi hardware again if it's as flaky as this. Very poor Xiaomi.

hello,
I have the same issue like you. I have ordered a new camera module. If it is her, I change the front camera ....
regards
Kai

Hi I fixed this issue check this http://en.miui.com/thread-3944631-1-1.html

Hello,
After replacing the Front camera it works fine.
It is a HW error... No Software
Regards

I have exactly the same problem, I'm already using the global beta rom with android pie and still the same problem.
I've tried to contact Xiaomi, but no feedback so far.
Any updates on your side?

My camera stopped working too.

works!

Selfie camera fail

Hi all,
Anyone having any issues with the selfie camera not popping up?
It has happened me several times on 9.5.8, rooted. EU version.
Only way to get it to work is to reboot the phone. Back camera works fine and it looks like the selfie camera is operational, but it just doesn't pop up.

OP7 PRO camera-s not working

Hi all !
In my hands now OP7 PRO which has been regulary updated and after recent update both cameras stopped working, youtube too !
So, had it downgraded to 9.5.3. and back camera and youtube back again but front camera not (so not even motor poping out)
Tried clean flash with fastboot rom but all the same
Done camera test through *#808# with no success, tried camera motor test, calibration too and no joy.
So before I order any parts just wonder whats the logic behind motorised cameras:
will motor pop out if camera is dead or other way round if motor is dead will that cause software block to launch camera (when you want to switch from back to front camera you getting nothing). ! Ready to order camera or motor but not sure whats actually gone !
Any experience, opinions about this Oneplus issue that seems affect many
Thanks
Got the exact same scenario as you but yet no solution.
Still looking for some answers online everyday though ..
Hi !
Done few tests so far, prove that motor/actuator is working and it must be the camera. Orderd camera yesterday and with a luck should get it in 30 days.
Funny thing about it that once I had Oneplus 5 with exact same issue, ordered new back camera, installed it and all back working than was curious and returned old one and the old one back working too
Conclusion ? No explanation by now.
Update: new camera arrived, installed and all back working !!

Poco X2 primary camera not working.

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.

Software updates often break things with Xiaomi phones.
When buying Xiaomi, you get great hardware for the money but you have to install a custom ROM to enjoy the phone. The forum is full with super stable ROM that get support and simply work.

Question Error Camera Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro

Hi, I have a problem with the main rear camera of my xiaomi poco x3 pro, it has broken and has been replaced by an original one from another xiaomi poco x3 pro. But when trying to open the camera application, it closes automatically and an error appears (I attach an image).
I have carried out the tests of the main camera and it works, but the image appears almost in sepia mode, there are very few colors.
I have tried to restore and flash the smartphone but it is still the same. I have also tried a camera application from the playstore (open camera) and it works but the image appears in sepia mode with very few colors.
Can you help me? Any ideas?
Thank you.

Camera problem
Hi guys, I have a problem with my camera, it doesn't work anymore in aosp and in miui it only opens in video recording mode and with monochrome colors, on gcam everything works, but with monochrome colors too, I've done everything I could imagine...
forum.xda-developers.com
I can try to find another store, because I was already in a store and they verified that the motherboard was correct and the cameras that I bought also work ok, and in that store they don't know why the error occurs.
In any case, something strange happens, because if I put back the original camera that I have damaged, the camera application works ok and the error does not appear, but that camera is damaged and does not focus correctly, so I want to replace it with another one that I have bought, but the error that I indicate occurs.

I think 6/128 and 8/256 variants have different cam modules
you need to pair it up together to make it work

hi, correct. The cameras of the 8/256 version are different. My smartphone model is version 6/128 and the cameras I'm testing are from another 6/128 x3 pro with a damaged motherboard.
In the image the camera above is mine defective. The camera below is the one that works and I bought.
