Got the tab a week ago. The front facing camera was working fine, tried it again today and the color was all screwed up. Is this a hardware or software problem? The back camera still works fine. The picture attached was taken from the front camera.
I would think it is a software issue. Did you install any rom or photo software?
Nope. Havent installed any camera apps or messed with any settings.
If you have root, and you can try flashing a fresh rom.
I have exactly the same issue on my Nexus S. Back camera also works fine. I have stock 4.1.2. Never flashed anything else. Phone version is I9023XXKI1. I know it worked flawlessly for months in skype. Then it changed to this weird color mode for some calls and back without any apparent reason. Now it doesn't change anymore. It just stays this way. I tried to change many settings, nothing helps. I'm also attaching image.
This is the only post I found that seems to be the same as my problem. The hardware is different (well, they are both from Samsung) but result is the same.
since new camera never worked i upgraded stock firmware made a factory reset but the problem is still there, the camera keeps a black screen freezes, buttons dont work and sometimes it says "camera fail"
would it be a hardware issue?
The camera should work with stock (out-of-the-box) firmware. You did the right thing and flashed newer firmware and also factory reset.
That should have fixed it if it was firmware issue...........
Rooting and installing any custom firmware would be a waste of time.
It's obviously a hardware issue, so re-flash the original firmware and return it for replacement asap.

Hi, I have bit different symptoms.
My back camera is working fine but I have problems with my front camera.
When I use my front camera it shows very darker screen than other GS3.
Also, when I want to switch from front to back camera it lags and switches after 5 seconds.
Sometimes it gives me error message when switching and it kicks me out to the home screen.
I don't know what is wrong.
I did the factory reset and the symptoms were still there.
When I reflashe the phone the symptoms are gone but it appears later.
I thought it was caused by one of the apps so deleted all the apps I have one by one.
Did not work out.
Will this be a hardware problem?
So when i open up my camera app the screen in just black and i can see all the buttons on the app. I tried downloading a different camera app and still its just picking up a black screen. Anybody else ever have this issue or know of any possible solutions. Ive already tried restarting the phone...
For Example
Heres what im seeing.
What Rom are you on? Need some details. Best thing to do is revert to stock and see if it works. If it still doesn't...it's a hardware issue and need to get it replaced.

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
