Selfie camera not working after latest update - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure if I am the only one facing this issue, but after the latest factory update of the Software on my Asus_Z00AD phone, the selfie option went missing on the camera. First saw this issue 2 updates before the current one and thought the update in October might fix it, but still have the same issue of front camera missing .
Also the Mirror application wont work and dispalys " mirror application needs to use the front camera".
Would updating to a different ROM solve the issue? Not sure what's the popular ROM to try and so was cehcking to see if this is common...
Kernel - 3.10.20-x86
Build - ASUS_ZOOA-2.20.40.198_2016_09_30_8756_user

The same issue.
Hi.
Got exactly the same issue with the same phone, a ZenFone 2 551ml
Update, then no front cam anymore.
Try to factory reset. Unsuccessful...
Have you managed to get a solution? Wish you have and you could pass it to me.
Thanks a lot,

Same here!

[Q] Camera take blurry pictures

Hello
My problem is for the rear camera of SGG I9082 which makes blurry picture
I check into the forum and found that have similar threat for SGS3 where it is proposed to be updates the CAM FW
When I dail *#34971539# and check the Phone to CAM FW Write (rear), it is displaying me:
Invalid Version
Cam FW Ver: A08B0S1GC01
Phone FW Ver: O08B0SAGD01
For the front camera it is make better picture (at lease for 2Mpx camera) and when I check the Phone to CAM FW Write (front), it is displaying me:
This is is the latest version
.... and the Cam FW Ver and the Phone FW Ver are matching
Please advice me what might be the problem that the rear camera is making blurry pictures and if the problem is the above, then please give me the proper FW for my rear camera and advice me how to install it
PS: All other activities like cleaning the camera or set-up it are done and nothing solve the problem
Thank you

Did you flashed a custom firmware?
I flashed CosmicCM (the latest) and had the impression that the pictures were kind of blurred or foggy. I reversed back to original 4.2.2 and the pictures got normal.

No, I didn't do any flashing, I use the original (4.2.2) FW. it seem that for me only the driver for the camera is not installed (or it is installed the wrong one), All the other have no issue
U tried anything
Did u try to do anything via root like deleting some files or modifying something, u can try factory reset or problem may be on hardware base too that some dust may have entered glass of camera and causing dificulty in focus(ur problem was not focusing or not opening rear camera???) u could try using google camera too sometimes some file of camera get missing and u may try third party softwares...Hope it helps

Hello loveymangal
I didn't do anything like deleteing any sys files. About the reset I already try it several times - it didn't help. About the other topic yes they might create the problem, but at the moment I see that the FW of the rear camera is incorrect. If I have the possibility to to fix this issue and see if the problem reamin then I can go to the other possible problems (like the ones you are proposing). If someone can send me the install FW file for the rear camera to try if this is the issue will be great. About 3-rd party SW if you have the possibility to propose me some good will be great
Thank you

well i don't know much about installing of firmware of camera so i recommend u to try a custom rom so to check if installing a new ROM updates or installs the correct version of Firmware. IF that doesn't work try reinstalling your mobile with official 4.2 upgrade so it can go back to factory settings unroot it and give service centre to reinstall the Firmware... Without device in hand actually I can't help much.....Hope somehow your problem gets solved...
Try a Camera app from the Play Store like CameraMX, did you try turning "anti-shake on in camera settings?

I tried another app and the front camera works, but not the back one. Though with the default app I couldn't even test the front one, it closed immediately.
I know for a fact the camera worked fine before flashing the custom ROM, so it's not a hw failure.
When as the last time you checked the camera with a stock ROM? I searched around and there don't seem to be many people with this issue on the note 2. Your phone's model # is gt-n7100?

Yup, GT-N7100.
Last time I checked the camera was just a few days ago. And yeah I've searched for the issue a bit as well, didn't have an luck unfortunately...
Have you tried this ROM? --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-aicp-12-1-official-nightlies-t3569395/page85
I being using it as a daily driver for months, and it's the best one I ever had for this phone.
Few times I've had camera problems, but automagically resolved just after restarting the phone.
Give it a try, and let us know it this was an acceptable solution.
Best of luck.

Is there rom that can use both GCam and Mi Camera?

As state at the title, is there any rom that have run both camera? I know GCam is better, just it feel weird buying smartphone that got 2 camera at back and not using it.
I have a GCam port and Mi A2 port installed and working on RR!
I don't think that it is a matter of rom. By the way, I'm using masik 2.5 and I'm using both mi and google camera.
i am using both on i guess any rom, dunno where the problem is.
just flash rom, reboot, make your setup, flash mi cam port, reboot, start, sometimes not working after first boot, but works on second boot, then install gcam. isi going. never had any issues using them both
Got it, thanks alot guys

What OTA version do you have guys?
I was facing that problem when I was have 10.0.01
But it fixed in 10.0.02
I recommend to you guys should flash V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF and update to pie from settings.
After updating to pie hard reset could be good.
Sorry for my bad english

Fix focus by switching to video mode the back to photo
I get this since updating to pie including the January update in any camera app that uses the camera 2 api - seems to be unable to focus, I find in gcam switching to video mode let it focus then switch back to photo mode sorts out the focus for a while, when it goes blurry I switch to video then back again and it works again, annoying but able to take lots of pictures using gcam perfectly fine apart from this.
In another note I find only some of the gcam ports even start up correctly, so still trying lots out.
yes seems to work "a bit" but you are not really sure anymore whether it's properly in focus now... sometimes it's just slightly not in focus, sometimes looks properly in focus... night mode became very hard to use now
Hello guys. I'm on stock rom on Pie with January update. I also have the same focus problem. But I just noticed that the focus works perfectly in short video mode.
You can use the 16:9 on photo mode, this fixed the focus issues on Pie for me.

I'm alway in 16:9 and for me it doesn't work. I've to say that it does it when the light is low but before it wasn't behaving like this... the only way working for me is to switch to video mode to focus and than back to camere and take quickly the pic... really you didn't notice this issue in low light? Which camere are you using? Thanks
16:9 does work much better. But is there any chance getting it work with 4:3? Why is the focus so bad there?
I solved this problm. If ur rooted simply install pixelarity module it will change ur device specifications and build no. This will fix all ur gcam problm... Thxx me later

Camera on Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G does not work

Hello,
Someone on Reddit suggested I should ask my question on here, so here I am.
Yesterday I received my Redmi K30 from China. It was tricky to buy this one, because I live in the Netherlands, but I took a chance and bought it.
Everything works properly BUT the camera. The front facing camera's work, but the rear 64M doesn't. I keep getting an error, which says it can't connect with my camera. Or it simply freezes and there's no option to flip from front to rear camera. Other things that I tried are: clear camera cache, reboot, change app permissions.
Someone suggested it could be the Global Rom which was flashed (this is a Chinese Version with Global Rom). It seems that Global Roms can intervene with the original camera.
Is this something I (I'm not technical at all) can change and will this work? I'm afraid if I will change to much in the settings, that I can't return it when it's still not working.
Or should I just return this phone and wait for the Global Version?
Thanks for your help!

Hello , sorry , i have a questions for you, do you have enabled Band 20 LTE ( 800 mhz ) Thank you !
Never heard of this failure. I also got mine from China and there is no Global Rom availible. There is the Xiaomi.eu Rom, this not officail. If your Phone is unlocked, you can look on the Xiaomi.eu Thread and try to install it. On the lateste MIUI12 everything works like a charm
i also have this problem.. I just recieved my phone today... cant use 64mp cam and bokeh
I am also seeing this issue. I received my K30 5G on the 23rd and only parts of the camera is work. Issues I'm seeing:
If I try to take a picture while on photo mode, the camera app crashes regardless of if I am using the front or back camera.
If I try to select `64M` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to select `Slow Motion` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to select `Pro` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to use the 0.6 zoom function on the photo mode the camera app freezes
This seems to be the only issue I am seeing with this phone. It's a shame because its a great phone.
Phone Details:
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 11.1.0 | Stable 11.1.0.16 (QGIINXM)
Android Version: 10 QKQ1.191222.002
Does anyone have a device where the camera works normally? Holding off on buying one since reading this thread
I'm having the same issue with the camera of my Redmi K30. Do you know if the new Rom on xiomi.eu solves the problem? Thks for your help
This problem is a bug of the fake Global ROM for this phone, with original chinese/english ROM or Xiaomi.eu there is no issues.
Have the same problem for now I've just installed Google camera that works ok . But non wide and 64 main camera only 5 mega px macro camera is working
When I install a camera info app is only showing me 2 cameras 5 mega pixel each

If you have the global ROM your phone is already unlock .
When you power those it's say wonlock?
If yes you can skip unlock bootloader.
And just instal twrp and flash Xiaomi EU Rom
If not booting after just use this : fastboot -w
Power off and is on after you can update from you phone
Thanks for you help. I will try ...

Hi! Where is the ROM that is suggested in this case? I am from Italy and bought this phone on aliexpress, experiencing the same issue. It is my first xiaomi phone so I'm not sure where to get the specific rom needed in this case.
Thanks to anyone who will help!
Install Adb Xiaomi https://www.xiaomidriversdownload.c...vcnkvbGF0ZXN0X3VzYl9kcml2ZXJfd2luZG93cy56aXA=
Unlock first bootloader if necessary
( If your phone already say's unlocked when you boot up just skip
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
Install TWRP via Fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot recovery
FORMAT /data partition (NEVER wipe System or Persist!)
Copy ROM to the internal storage
Otg is working whit twrp
Install ROM via twrp
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MK305G_V11.1.20.0.QGICNXM_v11-10.zip/download
If you are in boot loop to twrp
Just use fasboot -w
Power off and on
After that you can update without losing data from updater in your phone.
Maybe you will need to update 2 or 3 time before having the latest software .
That will be done automatically so just sit and relax.
.the update will be done in twrp so just accept and wait
Power of power on
Done
Thank you!!
Hi,
Few of you mentioned Global or English ROM, is that directly from Mi officially? Is so, could anyone please share a link.
The only thing I found is xiaomi.eu which is not the official.
Mine is K30i 5G which is a 48M camera that Camera does not work with xiaomi.eu unfortunately.
Many thanks
