hi guys...i had a slider flex cable problem recently.. so replaced the flex cable with a friend's help and by following youtube vids..now although my slider and screen are back to normal I've a strange and peculiar problem of which i never heard of and still couldnt find any solution to..my camera app is acting totally weird ..it can record a video and play it but it cant take a pic..i mean it appears to click a pic..but i can't review it and it doesn't even appear anywhere in the gallery( unlike the vid )..and whats more strange is the front cam takes pics and saves in the sd only the rear cam is having the problem and also the camera app becomes unresponsive afterwards...
list of stuff i checked
1.checked with different sd cards
2. tried other camera apps..same result
3. changed roms/kernels
4.fully re-flashed stock re locked bootloader
5.took it to the service center ..they couldnt figure out any thing with the camera
6.a local repair guy told there might be a problem with short circuit stuff on the pcb?
i even checkd with the xperia diagnostic tool ..all the sensors..touches..touchpads ..evrythings working..but whenever i click on camera it fcs.
and now even the phone heats up quickly(38 deg [email protected] battery defender app) with a little browsing,chatting on whatsapp and while charging..and the battery drains out too much even on stock gb ...Please please help me out!!

Hi all, appreciate if anyone could help me on my issue. When I make video call to my friend, I can see his cam but he can't see mine. It seems like the front cam is not turned on as I myself also can't see my cam displayed on screen. I am not sure this is the hardware (front cam) issue or firmware. I am using HTC Hermes WM6.
Or is there any way for me to check the functionallity of the cam?
hello i have tha same problen since last days
so u mean previously ur cam is functioning? Any idea what is happening? Any expert or user who faces this before and know how to fix? Or at least anyone know how to test the functionality of the video cam (hardware).
your solution is:
the FLEX cable on the front cam is disconected, call a local lab or do it yourself.
I have uploaded a solution to the main hermes forum in the past 4 months.
i had this problem before. it's one of the buttons on the screen during a video call which you need to enable your own camera for the video call.
The connection of the camera to the main board is known to come loose from dropping the phone, etc. If your phone has taken a few tumbles it's highly likely this could be the case, if you've tried everything software side and you feel skilled enough, open it up (void your warranty) and plug it back in (it's quite straight forward, you just need to be very attentive and careful). Otherwise, send it some where to get fixed.
Hi
Basically been having this problem for a while now and its starting to bug me. I rooted my phones ago now, and until recenlty the camcorder worked fine on all ROMS, however recently been facing a big problem with it. Every time I launch camcorder on any ROM my phone will freeze and have to take battery out and restart. I unrooted it and installed stock and it worked fine (so it can't be the SD card) re rooted again installed RSK and boom same problem. Does anyone have solutions to this?
Thanks in advance
If I remember correctly, the aroma installer gives you the option to change between two with a warning about one not recording. Also, have you tried another third party app to see if that works? You may also want to try taking the battery cover off and pressing (not too firmly) over the camera window and on the metal sheilding around it. It might have slightly disloged from the upper board but try the software first.
If you start noticing the notification LED, receiver (earspeaker) or camera flash not working as well, then it may need the upper board reconnecting to the main board and you should send it in for repair, but this is a pretty thin possibility, as I said, software first.
My rear camera suddenly stopped working. My phone didn't get any hurt in nowhere, just suddenly it stopped working. I was takin photos since 10 minutes before, I locked the phone and I noticed that Torch tile disappeared. I thought it was a bug and I didn't care anymore. The day before I noticed that even rear camera stopped working, I was trying to take a photo but the "change camera" (from front to rear) disappeared in every camera app I was using, camera apps opened by default with front camera opened. I tried to reflash ROM thinking that it was a ROM problem (even if I was using the same rom since months ago and I've never had any kind of problem), no results. Reflashing everything starting from stock firmware, no results. As a last hope, I tried to replace the rear camera by buying a new one, but the problem it's still here. Could someone that experienced the same problem, tell me where the problem could be? Or maybe some possible fixes, every kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.
Same
I have the exact same problem. After wiping the cache the rear camera is recognised and I am able to take a picture with it (which is not saved into gallery) but about 5 minutes later the option to switch to rear camera has gone and all camera apps (including social media such as snapchat) is stuck on front camera. This leads me to think it's not a hardware problem but rather that of software with which I am running cm13 nightlies that I have updated every day for the past week in the hope it will be patched.
I have this exact same problem on my d855 too..!
Sooooo frustrating, I've been looking everywhere for a fix, tried full factory reset the other day (I'm running full regular stock with no root or anything), and sadly that didn't work either... I'm glad to read someone has tried changing the camera hardware, cos that was I step I've considered taking, but I now know would be a waste of time and money...
But still, the problem persists..!

I don't think that's a software problem simply for one reason: I'm on the same rom and kernel since months and camera worked fine. It stopped working suddenly with no reason.

Yeah now you made me understand why the camera worked for some minutes. I'll try clearing cache after installing new camera module. I'll report the result. Thanks anyway.
Edit: It's not working. At first boot, systemUI doesn't load well, when I reboot everything works fine but rear camera isn't working. Maybe late I'll try with phone's camera. Now I'm using the new one bought some days ago.
same here!!!!! I'm using LOS13.1 on my d855 and i can't fix it... any idea?
What OS are you guys running? Is everyone experiencing the issue on Cm13?
Also try cleaning the camera connections really well.
I have same problem. Although i expirienced it first time on Lineage OS 14.1. Now 30B, but it still not working. I was listening to music through external speakers, and suddenly it stopped working. Music app was "playing" but i couldnt hear anything and when i exit the app my phone just stops working and starts being laggy as hell. Later that day i found out my camera is not working. I tried reattaching cam connector but it did not work...idk if i should order a new camera or it might be a software fix or something
same problem
happened to me after upgrading to 6.0 , downgraded back to 5 with no luck , even opened my phone and released and reconnected the 3 cables inside with no luck at all . don't know what to do
It's "good" to see other people with the same problem as me.
I replaced the camera and it still won't work.
I'm afraid that it might the problem with our motherboard...How can software block our camera even tho all of us fully reinstalled ROMs/Modems etc? It would be awesome if dev would see this and tell us what is the actual cause of this
If you reinstalled the entire OS using a TOT method, no files are left behind. This is more likely a hardware issue.
The Camera module is extremely close to the problematic hot chip on the G3 so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have a d852 in Canada that doesn't get hot and I'm having this problem too. Going to order a new camera since I know this is a hardware issue. Hopefully fixed the issue. Not cool having no rear camera or flashlight
It's impossible Every G3 gets hot...you either are not heavy user or idk...but every G3 that i've held had the issue of overheating at some point...and indeed it can ruin everything...imagine 120C on your processor...that kills everything around it...idk if my processor got that hot as i've seen in some cases it did on internet, but it did go up to 90ish...and that is too damn hot
FIX ISSUE be Done

Hi,
Last year (in august) my phone was stucked in a bootlop so I've sent it to the repair shop. (it was, and it is still under warranty so it was repaired by the official LG partner). They've changed the motherboard and fixed the phone. But from that date, my camera (both front and rear) are experiencing some weird problem(s).
1. i think that are less focus points since the phone was repaired
2. it is harder to get automatic focus
and the biggest problem is:
for the first couple of seconds, i get some weird static interference (i don't know if this is the correct term but you can see on the link, that for the second or two there is some interference)
1drv.ms/f/s!AlZuIPfxtUJcyypdpnKgJ24bHFxb
I have tried factory reset, and force stop camera, and even different camera apps but on every single app problem persists.
I think that the main problem is "focus" because when camera is focusing for the first time that interference appears. When camera focus, there is no more interference.
But as the phone is still under warranty, should I sent it to the repair shop?
Is this a common g4 h815 problem (because i didnt find anything when I searched for this problem)?
Is there maybe a way to fix this problem without sending it to the repair shop.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
i got the same problem after replace, and a nother problem is when i dont have a god coverage and my mobiledata is enablet i get interferance and phone gets so crazy (ghost totches)
Mine had a bootloop as well send it out for repair they swapped motherboard.
Ever since I have various problems. Now with camera focusing doesn't quite work the way it did before sometime it just won't get sharp.
Also zooming the camera on max then take a picture causes the camera app to crash
And when I take a picture in very dark environment my phone crashes and won't startup again. I need to plug it into the charger and then start it up again.
Last week, a new problem appeared. Phone is Ghost ticking at random places on touchscreen tried a factory reset didn't help.
@DollarBlingsy @neobdium
have you sent the phone back to the repair shop?

I'm thinking about it. But the problems have to be found at repair service, and camera app is not always crashing, and phone doesn't always crash when taking pictures in dark environment.
Ghost touching doesn't always happen as well.
So I'm doubting they will recognize them as I send it out for repair because it looks fine at first sight.

That's what I was thinking. But then I took pictures and videos of camera and I will also send that to the repair shop. Because that static interference appears every time, so I think they will recognize when they fix the problem
That's probably a smart idea!
My ghost touching have started when I reset my phone to factory default.
My camera crashes have been reduced by 70% with factory default
Thinking about unlocking and rooting and flash custom ROM since I believe there is a software failure that causes my ghost touching.
Anyway my first and last LG phone such drama phone good specs and awesome camera. But quality and software very bad
Okay, so I'm having some issues with my G3.
1. Issue: Last night i noticed that my rear camera was not working. I was running Lineage OS 14.1. I couldn't rotate from my front camera to rear one, there was no option for that. So, this morning i installed stock MM 30B and i thought that it will work just fine, it could have been a minor software issue..well, it is not working. I also noticed that flashlight is not working either...AND my front facing camera is upside down What in the hell is wrong with that? I've searched for solution but on google but couldn't find it so i started installing apps that leads me to my second issue.
2. Issue: WIFI is SLOW. It took forever to download Facebook app from app store, even though the signal strength was maxed, and my phone was like half meter away from my router...My PC gets 55Mb/s and phone just over 5...
For the camera, i tried to unscrew my device to see if the ribbon cable is not attached properly, but i was unable to find a proper screwdriver...i managed to get 1 screw out, but it was pain in ass so i figured ill take him back instead of continue to take apart my device....
Any advice on this 2 issues? I'd appriciate it

Please reply there. Did the issue occur after you updated your cm13?
