front camera icon is not there anymore - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

I have xperia neo on gingerbread 2.3.4 ,, everything was ok when i noticed that the icon which i used to push to switch to front camera isnot thet anymore,,, i ran service test for secondary camera and it said that the device doesnot support this function .. The front camera was ok and i donot know what is that .. I tried to run it with no SD installed but nothing happened

Press the menu key in the camera and try to find secondary camera. Is it still there? Pls report back.:good:

factory reset

I guess there isn't any solution to it!
It's the same for me since two months! I have tried every possible way but front camera just doesn't shows up!
I switched between the ROMs, installed CUSTOM ROMs, custom kernels, factory resetting, installing the backup.. But still I couldn't do it!
I am living without the front camera now!

[Q] Camera crashing / black screen only

My camera worked initially but after switching it to front cam and back I can't get it to display anything and it will force close after 5 seconds.
Face unlock works without a problem and I have tried clearing the camera's data.
3rd party camera apps also fail with the same problem.
Any ideas? I am unrooted and no modifications done yet. Just got the phone yesterday..

Thats looks like a system failure... Unrooted...
Try switching phone on and off. Be sure the problem didn't come from a recent app instaltion. Factory reset with a reliable backup and if that didn't help ring samsung. If not you could try flashing a different ROM but chances of that fixing it aren't that great!
I had this yesterday when changing video resolution, not happened since.

Have you tried checking if there is a new firmware update for your camera? presuming its the rear camera.

[Q] Camera failed warning

Got Camera failed warning... When starting the camera app, it woorks but camera part of screen is black, while I can move icons, but cannot switch to front camera nor trigger shot. After some time warning appears and app turns off... Tried everything I could think of, resetted, cleared app data, reinstalled several fws, cm9, kernels, tried code *34971539# - result is that it shows test title but no firmware info and again it shows test failed and than it turns off... Still, front camera is working only if trying face recognition... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
i have same problemfront camera have no voltage
if you've tried flashing a stock firmware and it didn't work....
then it's a hardware problem man.. i'm experiencing that one too. i'm waiting for my shipped camera to arrive so i could get mine replaced.
no matter how i flash firmwares, roms, and etc., it doesn't fixed it.

Camera Flash Problem

Some strange kind of problem i have with my camera
I want to know if other people have the same problem. My phones camera has no fill effect. The little lightning bolt icon is to turn on flashlight but on my phone it works as an auto flash effect instead, so it doesnt stay on. This is just for taking pictures, when I record video, the flashlight stays on and it works fine.
the flash works in automode or in fill flash mode or red eye re-duct if there is totally dark else camera use don't flash....
flash works while focusing.....
so there any script or way or any kind of setting i need to modify ???
this problem i am noticing after installing real ICS4.1....
any one else having same??
I am using XPERIA MINI PRO
I installed official ROM. SOME ERROR ARE IN EVERY DEV ROM. I am so confused...
I got it just cleared data from. . .
Settings/apps/all/camera clear data

[Q] Camera: Software or hardware error?

Hi,
Recently, the camera on my Atrix 4G stopped working. When I open the camera app it hangs for a little while and then I get "Can not connect to camera" error message.
I've tried to wipe cache, wipe davlik cache and did a factory reset (I'm using MROM :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836674)
but it didn't help. Also tried using a 3rd party app for the camera (camera360) but this didn't work as well.
What should I do? Is there a way that I can check if this is a software or a hardware error?
try doing a backup then full wipe and flash back a fresh ROM and then see if it works. If it does then it was a software problem on the old ROM maybe due to uninstalling some important system app or something around that line. If the camera still doesn't work on the new ROM after a full wipe then i would start to think maybe its more or a hardware problem but wouldn't be 100% sure without more testing.. good luck

I had the same problem after i dropped my phone. I got a broken phone from ebay to see if i can swap the camera boards.

yh right about now im having a similar problem with my atrix4g ! every custom i install on the from cm7 to cm10.1 and yet still the camera don't work ! i keep getting a error message saying " unfortunately camera has stop working " ! but for some reason when i installed cm10.1 , im no longer getting the error message . the app opens , i can go threw all the camera setting but the camera just refuse to open ! P.S . i wipe , data/factory , cache partition and dalvik cache . but yet still no luck how do i do a full wipe ? ? ? ? maybe that might work ! THANKS IN ADVANCE
Simply put, your camera is broken
Hit the damn thanks button instead!

I got a non working phone (no power) from Ebay .They go for $15-20. I just replaced the motherboard on the broken phone with mine and camera is working again. Replacing the camera board on my phone was not as easy as replacing the MB. My front camera never had a problem.
Many of the custom roms after cm 7 stable have camera issues. kernal issue if you want a stable camera i would recommend using cm7 stable. the kernal project is close to getting a fully working camera with flash but i would call it stable yet. many roms ae using there kernal and i found i would have to restart phone very often for camera error. switching back to cm 7 stable fixed the problem for me.

Does the proximity sensor and light sensor work? And does the speaker go mute when you plug in headphones? If not, then it's a hardware problem. according to ifixit :
"One cable to rule them all: the rear camera, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, pressure contacts for the headphone jack, and side volume buttons all come out as one piece."
So you'll probably need to replace one of these :

I think I damaged mine when trying to fix the volume down button. I already flashed the stock sbf file using RSD Lite but it still didn't work. So I might just buy this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rear-Came...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item461135f1a1
and try and fix it.
Success!!!
I took the plunge and bought this :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replaceme.../150836470715?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:GB:3160
It took just under 3 weeks to arrive in the UK.
I followed the guide on ifixit :
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola+Atrix+4G+Teardown/4964
Now the camera is working great.
This is the first phone (hardware) I have ever fixed. Removing the old flex cable from the board was difficult because I didn't know you could just slowly pull it out. I kept trying to unhinge the plastic holding the cable and broke a small piece of it off. Attaching the new flex cable was also pretty hard.

Me too, I opened up the board, and if I press hard on the camera connector part and open,it sometimes works, so I tried adding a little bit of padding behind it, so still it isn't working. Even the flashlight app is working so I think it might be a software or connector or mother board issue because sometimes the camera pens up fine,so definetly its a very mysterious problem. My camera actually stopped working while I was using Camera FV 5... While using te screen just turned white with some green lines,,, I thought it might be a bug and restarted the app.. But then i got the "cant connect to camera" error for the first,, from then it has continous..
I will try opening it up and try something again today..
Definetly its a software related prob.... My cam is now working
