Good morning Peeps!!
I've searched the forums and haven't had any luck, but did Sprint disable the front camera on the Touch Pro 2 or is it on the phone and I'm just missing it? I used the enabled all of the camera functions via the registry, however, I haven't found how to use the front camera - that is if Sprint didn't disable it...
Thanks in advance!
sprint phone does not have fornt camera
OK.. Thanks!
Has anyone open the Sprint TP2 phone to see if the camera module can be added? (if the connector is there and the space is not taken?)

I found other users with this problem so i think it's not an hardware problem.
I've tried a lot of different WM6 rom's

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?

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...
hi guys im looking a bit of advice i have repaired my broken s3 and cannot get the camera to work or the led torch ,more of a frankenstein job than a repair i bought a i747m rodgers with a broken screen and married it up to my front end of my i9300 , it works perfectly in every way accept the camera and led i have tried using other camera apps and torch apps but they hang and tell me camera app is in use , i have wiped everything rooted, cwm, factory installed then tried beanstalk rom and now running synergy rom but nothing makes camera function, i know the parts are easy to swap out but is it likely to be the main camera at fault or the front one i changed the ribbon cable that has the led on it but to no avail .any advice would be welcome ... great site by the way
Hey everybody,
My front camera is not working, however the rear camera works just fine. What could cause this problem? if the rear camera works 'then why doesn't the front camera wont work. Any and all information troubleshooting this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Try clearing the cache for the camera? Settings>Application Manager>swipe over to all apps>scroll down to camera>click on it>click clear cache.
if I was you, first I would look into software, like clearing cache, maybe even full reset, if nothing, then I would open the phone and disconnect the cam and clean connector then plug it back. if that still didn't work and I needed front camera I would look to buy new front cam module and replace it, shouldn't cost more than $20 and there are plenty youtube how to videos.
Of course first and most obvious option would be to send it to Samsung under warranty, but just in case that won't work, you do have DIY options.
Also I'm assuming you're not running custom software or tried to update camera firmware with S5 version for example, because that would be obvious and you would mention it at the beginning.
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.

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

hey
of course, sorry for the delay
Is this solution with silicone working?
Maybe it is the problem with soft?
