Are you using a stock ROM (Original Samsung ROM) or a custom ROM ? If you are using a custom ROM i would suggest
If you are using a stock ROM original samsung rom and unrooted and you dont have any knowledge & expirience with rooting/flashing ROMs and ur phone is still under warranty Just return your phone and ask for a replacement /fix dont forget to backup your data and wipe everything of it before you hand over the phone !
If you are alsready running on a custom ROM try the below if ONLY you understand what im talking about.. again sole resposnilty and risks involved are on you and only you if you brick/damage your phone
1. wipe dalvik cache
2. system cache NOT DATA i repeat DO NOT WIPE DATA partition or do any formate of any sort
3. All of this can be done if you reboot into clock worth mode recovery
If this doesnt halp I would suggest re flash your ROM or change to a different ROM entirely or update you existing ROM to the latest version but before you do any these do a complete NAND backup of your phone !

I am using custom rom
Version 4.1.2

I have tried alot of custom roms and then coming back to stock rom but nothing helped and my phone is not in warranty. Is this a hardware issue or software bug?

Can you also atttach a sample picture on how these dots appears??

Sir i cleaned the lens glass with soft cloth what else i can do??
Have you looked at lens under a magnifying glass?? Just maybe their is a dust particle from inside the lens or there is a crack on the lens perhaps??
If flashing flashing other ROMs don't solve this problem it could only mean it's a hardware problem then I'm afraid that's as far I can help ! Or change the camera unit if you can source a faulty Samsung galaxy s 2 from somewhere if you can and if it's possible or take to a phone repair shop they may know better or wait for somebody else here in the forum who could assist you further

[Q] Camera Problem! URGENT!

Hello Guys.
So it all started with me, flashing my first custom rom, the SamsungS4CHD something like that..
It worked fine.. tho it did have a few bugs. At first it didn't recognize my SIM Card.
Secondly, and MAINLY, i noticed that the camera was dark greenish.. and the moment i pressed snap.
Boom, Hanged. And i had to force close it, and then when I restarted, I got the error- Can't Connect to Camera.
No third party apps did the trick, so I flashed the TurboHD Rom and it worked flawlessly.
Then I wanted to try Fly116, and I did, and I was greeted with the same problem.
It struck me that the s4 rom and the fly116 both had 13 mp cameras while the turbohd has an 8mp camera.
Please help me out, this bug is killing me :/
I've searched and searched with no luck..
Reply soon guys..

hi sir. sorry forgot to include. i am just using stock rom. i tried installing that cyanogen app, but cant figure out on how to install a custom ROM, phone not supported,
So if you're on stock the cyanogen camera won't do the trick. I know it sounds redundant but have you restarted your phone or downloading a 3rd party camera?

That's unfortunate man. When all else fails try a factory reset.

Don't flash a custom kernel before using the camera.
Exactly. On custom kernels, you must always open the camera first with the stock kernel. Then flash the custom kernel, the camera will keep working.
But remember after a factory reset the camera will fail again so you will need to flash stock kernel again.
In this case, you don't need to erase anything. Just flash the stock kernel and the camera will work, then flash the custom kernel again.

Well, I did it this morning, and the stock camera still worked. When I flashed the custom one, only the frontal camera worked; but the back camera did not. So I´m still with camera bugs.
Try flashing the stock kernel, then doing a factory reset.

[FIXED] Best Way to fix camera failed problem in s5 sensation rom for galaxy s3
1. First way you should factory reset your phone
2. Install S5 sensation rom again,
3. Then when you saw the setup like " Select what apps you want to remove "
4. On that setup select [ REMOVE CAMERA]
5. Continue the steps till the end
6. When your boots as S5 sensation rom
7. You'll see no camera app
8. Download [ GOOGLE CAMERA ] or any other camera from google play!
PLEASE DON'T INSTALL S5 SENSATION ROM FOR ANY OTHER DEVICE.
ITS ONLY FOR S3

And somthing else when im using Snapchat recording after record video have completly negative color, and when using Instagram Live Video shows negative Color. When using my camera video rec, video color is normal. Why happend that
All those things are very strange. Maybe try the uploads in another WiFi, perhaps the problem lies with network upload.
If many strange things appear and even clean flash of different ROMs doesn't help, some people recommend to flash the stock ROM back and start from scratch, maybe in a different way than before.
That's the only senseful thing I can think of in your situation :/
