My phone went swimming late August (house flooded...so lots of expensive stuff did). Since then, activating the camera gets me an error stating "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.". The rest of the device works at 100%, but on that dreadful morning, there was a lot of water coming out from behind the back camera lens and light used for the flash.
I was wondering if there is a way to initiate the front camera, and use that as the primary. I cannot find a way to use this outside of Video calls (which in the USA, so never used it). I do desire a camera on this device, so was wondering if I just follow through with getting the HD, or is there a way to test (not even sure the front one works) the other camera.
Thanks guys!
I can`t give you a complete answer but you may want to try poking around in the devices registry possibly.
I have a problem with the rearward camera. Today I was taking a college photo and opened the camera and it looked nothing, everything looks blurry. Arriving home I opened the phone to clean the camera thinking it was dirty, but nothing, everything looks blurry.
A if you take the phone for service of my company, but as we wanted to release the bootloader not accept me even if it still has warranty cell.
I wonder if anyone knows where I can find a new camera module for my phone. It would be a shame to use leave for two months I just have to.
Clarify that the problem has to do with the software already changed ROMs and the problem is the same.
The problem is hardware but can not find any place that sells the camera for refaccion.
Hey,
I got my OnePlus one about a week ago and now the camera is broken (I have not dropped it and I have a case).
I can still access the camera but it will not focus and gives off greenish vertical lines.
I'm just putting this out here for others who might have the same issue.
I'm going to contact oneplus to see if they can fix it or send me a new one.
Might update this thread later on with news what oneplus says.
hello guys,
so i just bought this zenfone 6 several days ago,
i noticed the problem with the flip camera, each time i switched to selfie mode, camera flip up and says camera cannot flip, so the camera position is in selfie position, but the image is inverted.
i tried 3rd party apps like gcam and open camera , it still shows camera cannot flip, but the image is not inverted.
any thought on this? i already run the camera calibration.
thanks before.

Are you using a screen cover or protective glass?

hi jis, thanks for the reply,
i didnt use any cover or protective glass.
this morning i brought the device to the service center and they said it was the camera motor problem.
strangely, if i managed to hold the camera a bit before it fully flipped, the image isn't inverted, i guess this is a temporary fix until the new motor parts from the service center come.

If I understand you correctly, you say that the service center wants to repair the motor of the device. Frankly speaking, I would not accept this but would demand either a completely new phone or a refund. I don't think it is a good idea to have a new device opened and tinkered around with just after I bought it. I would expect it to be functional completely. In fact, you are losing value right away if they repair it. (just my opinion)
Looking for help, I replaced the LCD screen on my note 20 ultra now the front selfie camera will not come on when I try it says warning camera failed.
The replacement that I bought came with the frame the front camera and the LCD screen everything works as normal as it should except for the camera the camera worked fine before I put the new LCD screen in. Little research and supposedly possibly the camera I got with the new screen was the international variant I have the Snapdragon note 20 ultra and was told those cameras are not compatible with the US version so I bought a US version camera and put it in still doesn't work I've done everything I can think of soft restarts restart in a safe mode only thing I haven't done is a factory reset I don't know how that would fix it but is that an option? I was also told to take my old camera and put it in with the new frame which I would have done had I'd known beforehand and thrown everything away so that camera is gone I figured hey I got a new camera why use the old one right? Any help or ideas would be gratefully appreciated I've made sure the connections are good in the phone I've checked several times like I said everything is fine except for the front camera
I just got done doing a screen/frame replacement on a Note 20 Ultra. I purchased a international unit, and the same thing happened to me. I just swapped over the original camera, and it worked fine. I believe Samsung paired the front camera on the Note 20. You're more than likely going to have to have it paired again. With Samsung releasing their parts through Ifixit soon, you maybe able to get that part working.
