hi all
i bought a new xolo q 1000s just before a week. i remember i had checked the rear camera from the shop. after four or five days, when i tried to use the camera for the first time, it shows only the front camera, no option anywhere to shift to back camera. i tried a lot, installed other camera apps to get the back camera, but i didn't get it. then i did factory reset, after that the camera app itself went missing. my phone is not rooted. but no camera app is seen. installed other apps. they shows only front camera. i went to settings>apps and reset app settings, no use. when i tried to shift camera in cymera app, it said you have no front camera! meantime showing the front camera, and being unable to use the back one. when tried flash light app it says you have no flash light, but my mobile has one. tried factory reset four times, through settings menu and pressing home+ power+ volume up. same story!
so please help me, as i bought the mobile from india, and now in Dubai, unable to go back soon to india to approach a customer care center.
Thanks in advance

Help. I reset my T2 a couple days ago and after the reset my rear camera doesn't work. When I start the camera it just shows a black screen then times out. As far as I know I haven't dropped it.
Any ideas? I called HTC and they need me to send it back for warranty. I don't want to be without a phone for 2 weeks.
Same Issue
You are not alone. I had noticed the camera working intermitantly and I have not did a hard reset. I was thinking it was an app. that did this. Please let me know your findings and Yes two weeks with out a phone doesnt work for me...
Have you tried this?
Have you tried going into the settings menu and swipe over to applications and then scroll down to Picture+Camera, then scroll all the way down to the bottom and there is a reset camera button. Hit that and see if it does anything.

My Samsung Galaxy SII had been working fine, no issues at all until two days ago I went to take a picture and the camera won’t work, the camera screen is black and hanged up when I press to take a picture for a while then I just keep getting some error messages like force close, and media server not responding. I've tried to clear the cash and data for the camera application but nothing happened, I wiped the cash from the recovery mode without any success.
I tried other apps using camera some of the not working at all, and some recording some videos with the black screen on but after finishing recording it showed me what recorded but even this happened after long time of waiting for the app to do recording.
I tried to do the test for the camera using the code *#0*# for the back and front cam but get the error message of "activity factory test not responding (wait or Close)" then Camera failed. I searched over the web but most of those who had the same problem mentioned that they did factory reset with no luck.
On which Rom, Android version, Kernel are you? Recently installed gapps? Some day I had problems with the camera after flashing gapps.

Today I noticed that my phone wasn't recognizing my face ( I usually use Smart Lock trusted face) and I opened the camera app to see what's up. What I found was that the button to change to the front cam was completely gone. I then tried snapchat, which also couldn't open the front cam. I even tried going through the service menu -> service tests -> front camera but once again, nothing happened. No amount of reboots seems to help, so yeah... any suggestions?
possibly a hardware issue/malfunction > try a factory reset after a backup to rule out software problems.
Your phone must be physically broken. Is its charge port looser or tighter than before?
Model Number: MT2L03
Build: MT2-L03C00B322
Android version: 5.1
EMUI 3.1
Not rooted.
Not sure exactly what the issue is. I think it needs a new battery. Because when it gets down to 10% left it will randomly go down to 2% all of the sudden, then I will get that message saying "phone powering off" then the phone is difficult to ever get back on... which is why I try to never let the battery go completely dead.
Anyways the other night it went completely dead..... I charged it for forever it seemed, I noticed it was a little warmer than usual.
I ignored it and left it plugged in.
The next day I took it apart (I have taken it apart before, and put it back together with everything working fine)
Reason I've taken it apart in the past is because I had to replace the lcd screen because the other one got sat on and it shattered.
So I have an originally white phone with a black lcd screen....
Anyways I took the phone apart again, looked at the battery to make sure it wasn't bloated or warm anymore. It was fine.
I turned it back on and I noticed when I open the stock camera app it kept saying "can't connect to camera" or something similar.
So I took it apart again, unplugged the camera and plugged it back in, tried rebooting the phone, and when I opened camera again the phone then rebooted itself a few times.
Now instead of getting the message of "unable to connect to camera" it's as if the phone doesn't see the rear camera at all anymore.
The flash for the rear camera doesn't work anymore either.
I got it to turn on for a while, when it couldn't connect to the rear camera, but then it didn't want to turn off, then the phone rebooted itself, and now I can't get the rear camera or the flash to work.
The front camera works fine. But as for the rear camera there are no options to switch to it like there used to be.
On the top of the camera app there used to be a sort of "refresh" icon that would switch between the two cameras, that's gone though.
I also tried downloading apps that tell you about android hardware... and they say for secondary camera something like "not detected"
I made sure though.... the rear camera is plugged in all the way.
I even tried the backup and reset thing....
I don't know how to boot this model of phone into safe mode. I tried holding the power button, but I'm not sure if you hold the physical button, or long press the power icon on the screen???
I opened the camera app and went to settings and restored defaults.
I also tried opening app info for camera and clicking clear data. Neither helped.
How do I get android to see that there is a camera there?
Would downgrading the phone to the original build it was on help?
I think it was originally android 4.3.
Edit: So my main questions are... how do I boot into safe mode?
Would rooting it and clearing the dalvik cache work maybe? Isn't that what causes android to say "optimizing app X of X" when booting up?
How do I root this phone? After I root it would there be anything I can do to troubleshoot the rear camera or flash?
It just seems weird to me that one minute it says it can't connect, but the flash was working. Then the phone rebooted itself, and now it doesn't even seem to realize that there is a rear camera plugged in. And now the flash for camera isn't working either. Even did a backup and reset.
Hello everyone As I tried to take a picture yesterday, only front camera was working. No buttons to change to rear camera were on screen. Also, torch option is unavailable.(no problem with torch through 3rd party app though). I cleared cache data and restarted the phone multiple times. No luck. As it's impossible to connect my elephone p9000 to a pc, I don't know what to do. I installed a few 3rd party camera apps, but since they use phone's camera, nothing happened. Please help!!
Same here
Hi,
I have been facing the same issue since Saturday 10th as well. I have a P9000E.
Tried a factory reset, but no success.
