Since i upgrade my hermes to WM6 i nerver got my front camera working, I always get a black image ...
I found other users with this problem so i think it's not an hardware problem.

Take your thumb off the lens
Smiffy.
Hugot, just checking - you haven't got an 8525 have you? If so, that could be the reason you can't get the front camera to take a picture!
Sorry, very juvenille, but simply couldn't resist....
same problem here...
cant get it to work.
the front cam worked, now when i try any software I know to get a pic from it i get a device error or just nothing - it also afected my video calling, I cant use video calling(even the back camera shows black when using video call...)
I have a TYTN(herm200)
can someone pls tell me how to use the front camera for photos. I only use mine in video call. Can't see any settings in camera app (WM6 Black Majikn v4) that allows this.
i've got similiar problem but with wm5 but it was a guarantee problem.
I took my hermes for the representative to substitute the front camera

I think its arcsoft coolcam that allows this, its been posted in the wm5 section, that I know of, and I could be a little off on the name of it, Im just trying to remember off the top of my head.
I had tried it a looong time ago, but when you have a 2mp cam compared to the 1.3mp on the front I think it is, its not really prudent to even mess with taking pics with it.
I could be wrong on the name of the app, and even the specs on the front cam.
yeah

SOLVED!
after meeting with a friend that works in a lab that fix JASJAM\TYTN:
1. the Hermes has a tendency to loosen the cable of the front cam.
2. its a clip-on so don't worry.
3. bad news - you need to take apart the device - not that bad if you know what your doing.
you`ll need a torx and a philips.
thank god - it`s working now !
added bonus? - i tightened the keyboard and cleaned the device
Use of camera in WM6
Hi,
Has anybody else solved that problem with camera? When I make a video call I can see the other party but my camera is "dead". I'm not able to switch to the back camera... the window is black. If I start the "camera" for pictures immediately after the video failed, the photo camera does not work. Then I close and restart the photo camera and then it works.
So the video calls work only in one direction - incoming.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Thanks elivne!!
I fixed mine!!! Had to disassemble mine and you were right, the cable was loosen!!
I can't find the loosen cable
Dear elivne,
when i disassemble mine i can't find the loosen cable, where it is so i can plug in and fix my front camera????
the cable is connected to the from camera, it sits next to the explorer button on the top.
how can you not find it?(turn the device over and find the camera, then turn it over again and find the cable and the camera from the inside)
the canble is connected when you fell the click
Use of front camera in WM6 - Same problem
Exactly same problem as EdwardGonen reported. When upgrading to WM6, front camera stopped working for video calls. If I start the "camera" application to take pictures after video call fails, the photo camera does not work. I need to re-start the "camera" app for the photo camera to work. Also tried to upgrade to WM6.1 with same results... The camera was working with WM5 before the upgrade.
Ideas? Comments?

does your back camera work?
can you make a video call but see a black screen of you, the other side is ok?
if yes, then your front camera`s cable is disconnected(happens a lot, so it turns...).
you can open the device and connect it or you can use your warranty.
The video camera function on my camera is no longer working and I’m not sure why. This phone is less than 5 weeks old and I have already taken videos with it. This upsets me because I have a 4 month old that I love to record especially when it comes to his firsts. The led flash light comes on when I push the video button, the screen switches and freezes. The message saying error prompts and when I close the camera, the led light will remain on until I reopen the camera. Hopefully you can help me figure this out, many thanks!

Which indicates you have been making changes to your phone related to video. Did you remove that or are you still using it.
Without knowing what your phone condition is in, it is very possible that other changes you have made is causing the problem as well...

Most don't need to update their modem and if you installed software that modifies how your phone works, you might try turning them off or uninstalling them to see if they are the cause of your problems.

u could try booting in safe mode and test if theres any app or tweak that is causing it. or u could enter Service / Test / Hidden functions by dialing *#0*# on your phone dialer and u gonna get to the service mode and check camera itself. also theres another one of those USSD codes that brings u to check the phone gadgets hardware /firmware version to see if it same as the camera app... u could also do a full factory restore from recovery screen if nothing else works remember to do a backup first @ titanium backup.. or if you have fair tech skills u could remove the back cover and remove the battery plate and check if tje battery connectors are in place im sure u could find a note 3 tear down video around.. i had the same problem but with the frontal camera and ended up been the camera was defective and replaced it and worked like charm
I know this thread is kinda old, but since it is on the first page on google's query, I'll post a solution here (found on another site).
The solution is to turn off the phone and remove battery for 10-20 seconds. This should resolve the issue.
Some users report that the issue occurs when you charge your phone via PC or laptop USB port. So, to avoid this, prefer original charger.
thanks
thank you for replying even if the post is old! it simply worked while i was about to sell my phone ! good thing i saw your reply first!
Did you ever find a fix?
Hi,
My treat camera used to work fine, but one day started the autofocus started to fail, and pictures taken are blurry.
I've checked using other camera applications (which don't use the laser focus) but all are having the same issue.
I've ordered a new camera and changed, just to find the same issue.
I've noted that when using the magic mode, the pictures taken can be manually focused and they are good as they used to be.
I've also run the camera test on the hidden menu, and it shows AF failed.
Any idea? Is it possible to calibrate the focus of the camera?
Thanks in advance.

I had to buy another camera, and now it is working.
It cost me about 10 US$ on ebay.

Dunno what happen to my phone, but my rear Camera is always forcing close, and when it opens the whole screen flickers. Then when I close it, it backs to normal. I've been searching all over the internet but I found nothing regarding this issue. The front cam is working though.
Refer attachment.
Any help woulb be really appreciated.

That surely help. But I already have a new phone. Just don't want to get rid of my G3 camera. But if it takes me for another buck for it. I may just burry it. I am here just in case some developer knows how to fix it or someone has encountered the same problem. :laugh:
Thanks anyway.
Maybe this was caused when I baked my G3 motherboard when its WiFi and Bluetooth connection has stopped working.
hello guys and girls
i have HTC one M8 for about two years. one day i decided to take a picture.
i open the camera app and its on the selfie mode, i tried to switch mode and i notice that my rear camera option is gone, i had only selfie and photo booth mode. checked my flash and it was not working too.
after i check the net for Solutions and i did several things, like: clear cache and data files from camera app, switch camera app, and even factory reset. but nothings help!
i decided to check the hardware so i strip down my phone check the cables and connectors.
what i have discovered is when i take the phone out of its metal back case and start it up every things work well!!
once i put it all back together it stops working again. the only thing i removed and fitted was the metal case.
i think its something with the conductors that touched the case but i cant find the Solution please help!!!
Thank you for the time share,
best regards.
Hi
I have the exact same problem as you
I have my m8 since 2014 and I'm fully happy with it, it works well
But during a party, I wanted to take a picture and the only camera I have is the rear camera or the second (2 mpxl)
I tried yo find a way out :
1/ flash a new rom, not working
2/ check the hardware, no idea
3/ change the camera : I receive a brand-new piece and I replace the camera but not working neither
So it's not a problem from camera, if you have found any solution please contact me!!

hello to all
i fixed my camera and im very happy from my phone again.
the problem for me was that when i remove the metal bake case the camera works fine, at the moment i assembly the phone back my camera not work again.
i assume that the metal case press the camera or the connectors in some way that it wont work.
so i take a piece of silicon and tape it inside near the camera, in a way that when i put back the back metal case it will make a small gap between the camera an the case.
today i am a week later and it work perfect.
i hope it will work for you all
Hi motybh4
Can you add pics where you fixed the silicon tape?
Thanks in advance
