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.

Anyone got front camera worling with WM6?

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 a picture thats not on high resolution, and then change it back to the previous....that did it for me every time it screws up.

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?

I have exactly the same problem as you. Can anyone help us please?
front camera problem
hI! Same here... My back camera works fine but when I want to make a Video Call the only thing I get from my side is black image. Nothing. The incoming connection quality is fine but nothing goes out... The problem started around the upgrade to WM6. No idea how to fix it...

Big problem with camera! Not botting any app; just black screen!

Hi guys!
I recently (1 week?) updated my HTC One M8 to the Android Revolution HD 53.1 ROM. Suddenly, now, I can't open the official HTC Camera App. Well, actually, yes. I open it, and I just see a black screen, but the lower buttons. I can change to selfie mode, and it works perfect. However, when I try the rear camera, it doesn't function (just black screen and closes after ~4seconds). I took the last pictures less than 16 hours ago):
I've tried OpenCamera App, and it's also a black screen, although it doesn't freeze. I paste you the logcat, hope you can help me, guys! It would be awesome, thanks in advance. I've no idea of what can be happening, I don't even know if it's due to the ROM, because it worked perfectly yesterday...

After wiping my smartphone, it didn't worked... I supposed a Hardware problem.
But suddenly, since this afternoon, it works without problem. I don't know what can be happening.
I hope it doesn't occur any more

Camera not working

Hello,
so for the past few weeks my camera hasn't been working and I finally decided to ask you guys for help.
It all started when I wanted to try RR but it kept asking for 21C modem so I quickly downloaded one and flashed it. So I checked what I needed and restored Fulmics from the nandroid backup I made, but the camera app stared to just crash and since then I pretty much don't have camera.
What I've tried till now:
Restoring to stock
Flashing Fulmics again
Replacing the camera
Still can't resolve this issue...
By restoring to stock, do you mean flashing a TOT or KDZ file?
If you have done that and still not working you have something broken in your hardware.
Is the front camera working?
I guess you have already tried a different camera app.

Sorry for the late reply. I used the kdz file. The front camera is working. The thing is that yesterday the camera worked for a few minutes just fine. It's strange.

Ummm... sounds strange... maybe your camera is partly broken, did you drop your phone or something before this problem? If so, the camera could have a bad connection to the motherboard or is about to die.

I know right? I've never dropped it. I replaced the camera so I wonder if it can somehow be a software problem...
Just wanted to bump this as I STILL have this problem...
Same issue here, was running fulmics for several months with no issue, then suddenly and out of nowhere my camera app started to fail. At first the front camera looked stretched and weird and some app buttons dissapeared such as flash, but I could still choose front or rear camera and both worked fine. Then it got worse and the button to switch cameras dissapeared completely. I tried re flashing fulmics, tried xenon rom, tried back to stock... nothing so far. I tried booting in safe mode and the camera app gives me the option to choose rear camera but when I press it the app crashes.
I hope someone can find a fix for this!

No software update inbetween? Sounds like a hardware issue, try cleaning your connections and reattaching the Camera tightly.
The camera module is extremely close to the problematic overheating chip in the G3, so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have Exactly the same problem.. Pleaaase someone give us a solution.. Fulmics ruined our phones
I have that same problem. Resolved?
There were fulmics rum. I decided to replace it with RR rom. The rear camera did not work, the flash did not work.
I installed a different kernel but it was not resolved.
Help plsss

Front Cam Not Working

For a few months ago, my M30's front camera doesn't work. Sometimes the rear camera works but when I switch to front, the app freezes and then I've got to close it. I tested front camera by dialling *#0*# but it says FAILED!!
Any solution anyone?

I checked just now, it works fine. I tried various angles. Everything works fine. As I asked, it may be due to some hardware trouble or something triggering it.

I read on Samsung Community that a user with the same camera error had to go to service center and had the motherboard changed. I believe it IS a hardware issue

Yup, does sound like hardware issue. Just FYI, Samsung current charges are exorbitant, and they in some countries FORMAT whole data even for smallest of things, irrespective of hardware or software issues (f***ing idiots). So, please beware of the 2 points.
