[Q] [CAMERA ISSUE][MTK6xxx] Rear camera hasn't detected - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've bought a Kingzone z1 a week ago. It hasstocked firmware KOS 1.2 (Android 4.4.4 based), unrooted and bootloader locked. It's CPU model is MTK MT6752.
The first time i've turned it on and i've selected camera app this was the error message: "Galley app has stopped abnormally" so i've just restarted my phone. After the restart camera app works only with front camera, antutu doesn't detect camera, MTK Engineer mode has only sub cam, other camera apps detect only front camera too.
I've changed firmware, i've done a factory reset but nothing. In kingzone's forum they tell me to replace the phone but this is a problem for me for costs and for time it need.
So today, casually, during the charging of the phone i've entered in the factory mode (vol - and power) and I've selected "Item Test/ Sub camera test" then "Item Test / main camera" both test passed. Reboot phone and my back camera works greatly! but this works until I stopped charging phone. After a few minutes of the end of charging "Galley app has stopped abnormally" and again, after reboot, only front camera detected.
Other details:
1) if i do the same process of the factory mode when i'm not charging the phone, this stucks during the "Item Test / Main camera" with a black screen;
2) if i don't reboot the phone when i have the "Galley app has stopped abnormally" error i can start to charge the phone and after a few seconds from this i can use my back camera normally.
At start i've thought about an hardware problem but after this "discovery" i'm not sure at 100%. Can you help me to resolve this problem?
Thank you everybody
PS: Sorry for english errors and if i've posted in a wrong section
EDIT 22/04: It doesn't need to be in charging mode but it need a micro usb plug so if i use the OTG adapter or i plug the charger without charge my camera works (if i've done the item test in the factory mode) ...

Hello, Did you managed to solve this?..
I bought a kingzone z1 in everbuying, back camera does not work same error as you, after FOTA i openned camera and i could see partial image with a lot of green lights and after camera freezes and same error as you, opened a RMA and tried to make warranty valid in everbuying but they do not respond! assholes!! so i guess warranty is not an option for me ad seller refuses to answer my RMA or tickets.
I was reading that sometimes the hardware can disconnect a little bit (other phones), and that removing the battery cover and gently press the camera can help to reconnect the Camera lens back to the SOC.
So can you please tell me how is your situation now and what have you done?.
Regards

Hi, i've solved just doping what i've wrote vere o in this thread on officiale forum ( i can't post link, look for "back camera doesn't work" in kingzone forum z1. You need 14th e 15th post)
I've bought it on everbuying and they were really helpful and propose me to send back to them but i haven't accepted because i was out of budget.
Try to see my solution on officiale forum, probably it works to you too. My camera works 99% of the time and if it doesn't works a little pressure of lens solve easy.
Let me know

[Q] Camera Icon Blinking on Startup - Vibrator, Camera & GPRS NOT working

Hello everyone...
Well, here goes a sad story
Got my x10i in April this year, running on 1.6
Recently dropped my phone, the camera, vibrator & GPRS stopped working.
It was around the time 2.1 was released officially.
There was no physical damage on the phone except for the top-back portion - (the silver casing below the on/off button on the back side) was slightly ajar.
Though i knew it was a hardware issue, i tried re-installing 1.6, then upgraded to 2.1, on both occasions the problems were not fixed.
i turned the phone into the service center apprehensively cos i love my phone and i have not heard great reviews about them.Hoping against hope they would be able to fix it.
Nevertheless they were not able to, the physical damage was fixed, as in the casing.
Then they tell me the board needs to be changed - which i feel is not the only wayout.
Changing the board is as good as buying a new phone cost wise.
Now the problem i have since I got the phone back - upon every restart there is a camera icon blinking and it takes a long time before the phone boots to home.
I know this indicates the phone is flashing itself, but everytime?
Now my questions-
1) is there a solution to the camera, vibrator & GPRS not working?
2) why does the flashing/camera icon blink happen everytime on reboot? any solutions?
Do let me know your thoughts!
Thanks
Anyone??
Vibrator, lol.
Try repairing using SEUS update service.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Well, SEUS update service does not have an update option.
PC Companion does but it seems to be giving errors.
Mid way through the process it stops downloading & asks me to try again.

How to check Jiayu G4T camera?

Good. Jiayu G4T I have a camera that works sometimes ...
Sometimes taking away the battery back ride ... Other magically works ...
I give the application and no picture ... says it can not open the camera and the application closes.
Install a new ROM and I did everything the same root but ...
Abri the phone the other day and everything is very well connected ...
I need to know if I can get the error code or something to tell me if the front or rear camera is broken ... or if some software glitch ...
I do not want to order the part then this is not the problem ...
Thank you very much!
Good. I have news.
Change the camera and the problem persists.
I do not recognize the rear camera, flash and front ...
I'm desperate ...
If I make a restoration of data makes the application of the camera disappears ...
I have reinstalled several roms by SP Flash tools over twenty times ...
Any idea?
You replaced the camera-module, right?
perhaps you have a faulty connector (dirt on the contacts or bad soldering).
Try to clean the contacts of the connector with a little amount of IPA (Iso Propylene Alcohol) without flooding the device nor the camera.
Also you can try to insert a small peace of packaging material to apply some preassure to the connector and reassemble the device.
If you are lucky this will fix the issue.

Camera problems
I have a similar problem with mine. Mine only shows all white and I also cannot choose between the rear and front camera. Whenever I shoot it only captures a white screen. Also whenever I use the flashlight, the front led lights up when it used to open the rear one. I've read somewhere that resetting to factory settings will solve the problem. I still haven't tried it.
I have it too. Factory reset did nothing.
Same problem here all of a sudden after 3 months of use. Any idea how to fix?
Thanks in advance
Also have a problem that came up with the camera. Suddenly getting a message saying "no camera hardware found". Can't use front or rear cameras or even the flashlight.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Hi, has anyone found a fix for this camera issue?
No solution so far... Wonder if i can flash another rom like crystalrom v3 to fix this problem...
I found the solution to my problem here:

May be a solution to your problems as well.
Just a word of caution - for some reason, after reassembling my phone the camera worked fine but the accelerometer and magnetometer stopped working.
Now looking for a solution to that...
Hi ask to myefox my dealer to ask ulefone to make a video how to open and solve the problem.
No way to solve by resetting or even flashing new firmware.
Ulefone is a real pirates company: I have two phone ,same problem in the same time (three months) I bought one again waiting for reparation in china the first, when their first come back repaired , the second falls in the same problem and now the one repaired is broken again.
Crimininalfone not ulefone

How did you solved it? Did you open the parts and reconnect the camera connectors?
My back camera and flash stopped working and only the front one works and showing everything upsidedown. Flashing the rom from the beggining did not solve the problem.
I just reconnect the flex into the mainboard. I disassembled the phone and when I re connected the camera it started working

Could you be so kind to tell me which is the camera chip? Is it at the back or front of the LCD?
It's from the back. You can see here in this video. It's a teardown from the first Be Touch model but i think is the same.... I just gave my phone to a technician here in my town to fix it. I am not touching it...

Sony Xperia Z2, runs hot, battery drain, rear Camera and flash not working.

Good day. Im new here and really need advice. I have the Sony Xperia z2, the screen cracked and the touch input stopped working, so I used the phone with a computer mouse and all was working fine except the cracked screen. Send it in for repairs, now has a new screen but now the phone's battery is discharging 1% every minute, camera and flashlight is not working and it's really hot on the back of the phone. Updated the phone software to Android marshmallow, results are still the same. I then opened the phone myself (the company did not waterproof it again), I then unplugged the camera and closed the phone, now the battery is operating normally again and it's not running that hot anymore. Plugging the camera back in results in steap battery drain, running hot and error: "camera stopped working" when opening any camera app or doing camera diagnostic. The Flashlight is also not working. Should I order a new camera unit and how does the Flashlight work or can it be fixed/replaced? I dont really want to spend lots of cash on this phone by handing it in to the repair center again, im a student and it already cost me R3700/250$ just for screen repairs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
$250 for a screen repair?! You could have just bought a second user phone for less. Camera modules are cheap enough to buy but that may not be the problem. It's a gamble in my opinion.
Hello guys,
it seems I have a pretty similar issue.
My Z2 apparently got 2 new issues - the back camera stopped working (front is fine) and I cannot switch flashlight off once switched it on via menu.
Do you have any idea what could be the root cause for these probably related issues?
Already flashed entirely new firmware but that didn't help.
Thank you in advance.
One more observation here - just tried to disconnect camera module at all from the main board and the Torch became unavailable.
So it seems the torch is controlled by rear camera module.
Think to replace the camera module, I guess this should help.

Camera problem

Hello
I had my phone in a drawer for over a year because the lcd shattered and a few months ago I ordered a 'new' screen and replaced it.
The first time I opened the phone I broke the front camera flex cable so I ordered a new one also.
The reason I'm giving a little context is to give you some insight to what could be the problem.
After replacing the front camera, it wont work. I tried installing the original stock rom, updating firmware via mmi codes and cleaning the connections.
What happens is, when I open the camera app (tried multiple ones of course), the back camera behaves very strangely and when I switch to the front camera, the phone either reboots or the app freezes.
This behaviour is green and purple lines through the image when opening, it kind of pulsates and if I get it closer to something bright it takes a few secons getting to a normal clear picture.
This is a recording I've made with the back camera: streamable.com/ilxln
Would apprecciate any info on this.
Thanks
