Hello
I've just received my Note 2 in the mail today, popped in the sim card and booted it up. Works fine and it's awesome.
When i checked out the camera, it launched fine and i was able to take perfect pictures using the rear camera, but when i switched to the front facing camera, it just came up with a warning saying "Kamera Mislykkedes" (Translated it means "Camera Failed") with 1 button saying "Okay" which would just close the camera app.
If i tried to relaunch it, it would stick to try and use the FFC and simply give the warning again and again.
If i go into Applications and clear all data from the Camera app, it would switch back to the rear camera and thus work again.
But i simply cannot get the FFC to work, i also tried downloading "Pudding Camera" off the market, and it does the same.
I found some other people having problems with older Samsung phones, and it can have something to do with some apps not releasing the camera app correctly after usage. But i haven't installed any apps that didn't come with the phone (except Pudding Camera, but it didn't work before that either).
Anyone got an idea? I really really really really don't want to have to send the phone back already because of a hardware issue, so that's why i'm here.

You can try if face unlook works.

Just a guess here but if a factory data reset doesn't fix it, it sounds like a hardware return sorry.
the exact scenario happened to me but with the back camera
Just flash latest stock rom

What did you do to get it fixed? I have a similar problem
I have a galaxy note gt n 7000 (galaxy note I) and had this camera fail problem 4 months ago. I have even bought a front camera module from china but the product still didn´t get here. It takes more than a month for these stuff to come to my house in Brazil. Well, anyway, I had given up on trying to solve the problem (that´s why I bought the module) and I usually flash 3 or 4 roms a month (love to mess). So, then, I flashed the ROM super nexus on my phone and opened the camera normally, because the rear camera never had problems and guess what... when the camera opened I saw my face. Scared to death. kkkk. Now, it´s my fourth day using the rom and the front camera is working nice.
I don´t believe most of the users are having hardware issues. I think there´s something related to JB update because ppl started complaining about these camera errors after the update... but who knows. Hope u all have the same luck I had.
=)
Hello,
my GF just got her brand new zen phone 2 and it's front camera isn't working. The first thing we did is tun the automatic update, so I have no idea if the camera worked before or it's the update who messed it up. I'll attach the software and hardware information screenshots.
We have tried to reboot it, update the camera application, force close and clear cache as well as installing other camera application, but it didn't help/work. I have also installed phone tester and it showed information only about the back camera, no front camera (on my nexus 5 it shows both front and back)
Any suggestion on how to fix\resolve the issue?
Thank you

RMA it, that's what the warranty is for.
I suggest if you bought it from a shop, take it back and see if they'll swap it, they have to in Australia if the item is not working properly .
After my 5X installed the latest March update, I started to have problems with camera. I was able to use both cameras without problem, but then I installed Snapchat and now they don't work. When I first launch the camera app rear camera works OK but If I exit, It doesn't work again until reboot. It just shows a camera icon and after some wait it says "can't connect to camera" also I can see the red light from the focus sensor at the left of the rear lens. It just works all the time after I first launch the camera app. I think my camera doesn't shut and that's the reason of "can't connect to camera" error.
I tried factory reset but still have the problem.
I have Lenovo Z90A40 Stock Android ROM 6.0.1 Build Number Z90A40_S363_160625_ROW
I have a big issue related to camera, it works fine in indoor or at distance of around 4/5 Normal Rooms
But when I go out door where there is more distance such as in mountains or a big park, then camera stucks at
autofocus and a few 2nds later phone restarts, after searching I tried to reflash ROM / reset device
but all goes in vain, it has a good 16 MP camera but I effectively cannot use it where it is most needed
No error message is ever shown during this problem or even after restart
In outdoor, if I hold phone very still in my hands, then the problem does not arrise, it only arrises when
I normally shake the phone, just like a normal person would do to take a nice picture
I am a rooted user with Xposed framework installed
I tried other Camera apps from Play Store assuming the issue is with Stock camera app, but I think
the issue is related to camera hardware with autofocus in vast areas
So I was looking for a solution, Can I handle this restart as in: Can I skip this restart, is there any normal
or Xposed application that can help me in this regard or any other trick
Plz help
I have the mi max for a few month, suddenly, one day, I had this problem when I tried to focus on close object, the focus got stuck on the close object, and when I try to focus on some object in different distance It couldn't change and got hot.
My guess is that this is not a software fail cause I tried full wipe. I even installed a fresh stock. I also replaced the camera part but even this didn't fix the problem.
If anyone have faced this problem or have any idea it would be just great.
