I just install ffc on my vibrant. I was very excited that the installation went smooth until....First I got "camera failed" so I reinstalled the camera. Then the rear camera work ok, but the front camera just show a green image.
I'm using Bionix v1.3.1 and I also installed ffc_mod.zip prior of getting the camera from Hong Kong. I haven't found anyone with the same problem. I been reading different threats, but...
I also reinstall ffc_mod.zip
Another thing I try was to replace sgs-t959 for gt-i9000 using sgstools.
I also install mirror for Samsung S, and the picture is green, too.
Any ideas?

Sounds like it could be a bad camera.

you think???
Sounds like another Chinese win in quality computer goods.
On a serious note though it really does sound like dead hardware.
Based on what you have described in your steps alone it sounds like almost not at all software related. Time to get a new one.

Hey! I'm chinese.
Seriously! man! I will have to wait again. Oh, well. Thanks guys.
I was just joking, I'm actually a ninja.
I agree that it sounds like a hardware issue. If it were software, I think the issue would more likely be that it wouldn't be detecting the camera at all. Let alone a GSOD.
I bought it 3 days ago and everything worked fine. As of yesterday I opened the camera app, and the rear camera works fine but the front camera glitches out and crashes the TP. Every time I switch to the front camera it also turns on the rear rear flash as well. The glitching is like green static on the screen. Dont know what the problem can be. Does anyone have any ideas? I think Im going to have to return it but I really dont want to get nothing in return for now.
Do a system reset before returning it.

It probably won't since that's the first I heard of this issue hope you like the tablet
Just gave up on it and returned it..lucky I got replacement
Just out of no where, I can't use my camera anymore. I even did a factory reset and it still doesn't work. I did the firmware upgrade and it was fine so I am not sure what could have caused this since doing a search, it seemed most was due to the firmware update. I was just taking pictures Wednesday of last week and yesterday, it just puked.
It takes forever to get it working and when it does, it looks like the homescreen all blurry. self facing camera works though. If I do (or can before it pukes), it just takes a green picture. ???
anyone else have their camera not working out of the blue?
I may have to send this unit back to ASUS to have them look it over as I don't think it's a software issue anymore.
Suggestions? Thanks!

There was another thread with a few posters who had a similar/the same issue. Pretty sure their camera wasn't even showing a good preview though, they were getting green and static even on the screen of the Camera app itself.
Too lazy to find it, but so you know there are some out there.

That happened to mine. It was working yesterday just fine and all of a sudden this morning, the rear camera only show corrupted green lines. Have you got a fix for that or you have RMAed it?

Mine suddenly stopped last week. I sent it in to the Texas Asus service center for repair.
One thing I can say with mine that specified hw issue is the if you pinched the top of the screen, gently, by the camera it would come back into focus.....but the minute it was closed and reopened, or handled in any way it would go back to a green screen.

oh wow!! i just pinched mine and it did the same! worked until i let go.
I guess this is going back to get repaired. thanks for the find.
Oh wow, how strange. Of course I don't have the issue, but good to know for the future that it is h/w. Suppose there's just a faulty connection somewhere? I'm going to disassemble later and see if it isn't something I could notice.

Thank you for this info. I pinched mine at about 1 thumb space left of the camera, and yes, it did come back, but it does not stay long.
What a piece of ****ty workmanship Asus has with this Prime? sigh...

Yeah, its unfortunate. It was an accident that I found that as I was just taking out of the case to make sure nothing was obstructing or maybe the lense came loose and when I grabbed the ATP to pull it out the camera became clearer and so thats when I started gently sqeezing around that area, lol
I was like WTF!!????
I am also experiencing this problem... I believe I was the first to post about this. Unfortunately I am unlocked so I have no hope RMA'ing it

You should be able to get something because that's completely hardware related no way a ROM can cause that! I would get your case escalated... Best way to do that would be PM Gary key be sure to include your name contact info ect... Along with serial number and your email address...
Make sure the subject is descriptive like...
New hardware defect: green camera.....
Wait a day and if that doesn't work I can give you an email of my contact...
Again another flaw on asus's part that's why I returned it while I had a chance! It's there crappy quality control! I am telling you they need to inspect those things paying a Chinese worker the whole 10 minutes it would take to examine it is nothing compared to fixing it after the fact!

I was in the same situation, unlocked, rooted and running CWM.
I contacted Gary, he hooked me up with Tech support manager in Texas and they did the repair.
The only issue was when I got it back I was getting the CWM loop of death
It was soft bricked for sure, I couldnt get it to do anything.
I followed the guide by diamondback in the Dev section and was able to get it fixed, but I thought it was a lost cause there for a while.
I am guessing they made the physical repair, tested it and then did a factory restore which I believe will put it into that state so if you do send it off, make sure you have the ROM backed up and that you have adb running on a laptop so you can recover.
Camera seems to be fine now, hopefully I will not have to go through that again or for any other repairs.
good luck!

How long did the RMA take you? I keep on seeing threads about how it's almost been a month with no tablet in sight. I need my tab for school so I'm thinking of RMAing mine after my term, but that's still 1 month away.
Any suggestions guys?

Well Gary and a tech got back to me but I think when I did the pinch to see if its a hw issue, I think I screwed up my GPS connection since now it doesn't work anymore. But my Roma has stalled and I wonder if I should wait until the end of the month to see what this "new hardware" is. I mean, I can push the RMA but I did say my GPS was working until I tested the pinch camera "test" so I can wait. Pics would be great since my parents are in Taiwan right now and would like to send them some pics of their "grandson" (my dog) as he's growing (got him at 6 weeks and it's now 4 months).
Mine is a bit weird tho. When i turn off my screen from the camera app, i can hear my camera focusing. Sometimes after it would just reboot itself. Sometimes it would just crash the tablet.
Also, i tried the pinch method. It didnt work for mine.
I got the green screen last week. Called tech support and was told to send back for repair. It arrived yesterday in Texas and has been received and now in the pipeline.
So far, I have no complaints. Quite happy with the responsiveness of Asus.
I've always understood that, with electronics, if it's gonna fail, it usually happens within the first 90 days. If the item works past the initial 90 days, then should be good for life.
Well, my TP is less than 90 days old.

10 business day exactly.
I shipped it 3/12....got it back on 3/26
i had the same issue with my TFP
i gave it a good smack near the rear camera and now it works im pretty sure the problem is with the connection.
i also noticed that my TFP screen is barely pop out a bit. so my guess is that is there is some kind of "plug wires" that are not exactly well fit.
my guess is my fix"the smack" would be just a temporary fix that may or may not work with you and the problem will come back later
Mine died today, I can push on it for a second and when I let go it goes to the green screen. Have a bunch of dead pixels in one area as well, and my dock isn't sturdy anymore. Just about to RMA pretty soon here.
RMA it. Doesn't take too long for them to get ur tab back to you now
Hi there, I've had my Z2 for almost a week now and have been happy with it. Unfortunately, today, the rear camera decided to stop working. When I try to access it, I get the usual icons but no image, just a black screen. The front camera works just fine. The only "fix" I've found, so far, is to turn the phone off for a few minutes. On rebooting, the camera seems to work just fine. If I try to use any of the special features (like the dinosaur stuff) while the camera isn't working, I get "error: camera not available".
I presume the hardware is faulty. Has anyone else suffered this problem?
Return it. Sounds like hardware failure to me. You can try hard reset or fix through sony update service, but I've not seen this issue yet and if it were me I'd return for exchange.

Thanks. I returned it to the Vodafone shop I bought it from. They swapped it for a new one, without fuss.
I have a refurb Lg G Flex 2 , which I love! Lg sent it to me as part of BBB settlement. NOT warranteed as I sent them a broken one and they refused to warranty it, so who knows what they did with MY phone, but they sent me another one, stating it was mine... But none of that matters. Camera works for a couple shots, then camera not found or cannot connect to camera . Often front facing option is gone as well. Same with Snap chat or any other camera i install. Have taken out SD card, works for a few minutes,
cleared cache, same thing,
forced stop- same,
restarted,
hard reset,
Everything I have found online I have done.
Except dropping it which I think is a bit stupid! I have removed back , opened and taken it apart- all looks secure and ok.
As it does come on and work fine for a while after each "fix" I would like to assume the it is software related, not hardware. I found in only one place someone mention the latest update caused this issue, but have found NOTHING more on it.
android version 5.1.1 software version H95012d.
I do have a new Moto g 4 plus i can use, but I love my flex! Really hoping someone can help me! Thanks
The issue with that device is well known. They put the cpu too close to the camera modual and it over heats the camera making it not be detected.
So
There isn't anything I can do is what you are saying?

Yeah pretty much. It has been an on going issue with LG devices for a few versions.
