hey folks,
I have just bought my razr from amazon.de /germany.
I powered up the phone, seems ok. i even did some phone calls.
However i just realized that the Camera is not working by clicking on the Camera icon in main screen. I didnot try it with 3rd. party programs.
I searched issues on the forum and even tried also.
(wipe clean and hard factory reset, etc.)
Unfortunately, nothings changed. still says: unable to initialize...
Please give me an advice?
What should I do?
I have the opportunity to send it back to Amazon.de within 14 days after purchasing.
I hope you decide to send it back - defective camera.
Hey folks again,
I have claimed to Amazon.de regarding above mentioned camera problem.
They pleased me firstly to force hard reset then install the latest software again.
I can handle the hard reset but where is the latest Software?
How can I find it?
pls help me...
Hey metin,
Returning the defective unit and getting a new one would the wisest decision.
Hey Guys,
So I just received my prime and I updated it to ICS. I opened up the camera app to play with it and both cameras work. But about 20 minutes later I open up the camera app and I see a bunch of green lines in the "viewfinder". It then forceclosed.... I now am unable to open the camera app. I have tried to video chat and only the frontfacing camera works. I have also tried to use "Retro Camera" and it does not work either. I did a factory reset and nothing changed...

rear camera not working after firmware update???
I'm having the same issue. I received my 32gb Gold prime from amazon yesterday and immediately update to ICS and camera update and now experiencing the same issue as your. I did not test the camera before the update and so i'm not sure if the update cause it or if the camera was bad right out of the box. I did factory reset twice but the problem still remains
Looks like you guys both need to send them back in for replacement.
That sucks. The sooner we get bootloader unlocked the better.

ASUS response: Um...yeah...some update screw up the camera...we are sorry, we know the problem. We are going to update our spec to say that the cameras does not exist. Please ignore the 2 lens sticking out from your tablet. Thank you for buying our product.
Same problem
Anyone found a fix? I have the exact same issue. I will try to restore it to factory default settings tonight and let you know if it helps.
Just to test, has anyone with this issue tried to clear the data from the camera app... settings > apps > camera
OR, try and download a different camera app and test and see and if it works. I use Camera Zoom personally and not the stock camera.
Guys......there is a firmware update specifically for the camera. Go into settings and check for updates. If nothing shows up you will have to wait until Asus posts direct links on the site. I'm surprised I'm the only one that knows us.
Your not the only one who knows this. I have received 2, maybe 3 in total.
But, I assumed they already got their updates as the moment you turn on your device, these are shown to you so you cannot miss them when they come around. If they went to ICS, they should have gotten a notice for the camera at the same time. There was another under HC as well.

Good point. Now the question is if you guys have gotten the camera update as well?
Update
I just did a factory reset and it doesn't work. Its weird that I cannot find many cases of this happening from forums online, so here are a few details that might help clarify things:
First, yes I have upgraded to the latest firmware and tried clearing the data for the camera and anything that could even remotely be related (media processes etc). And yes I have tried using other apps that use the camera, and it still doesnt work.
Second, the camera worked before. It worked prior to and after the ICS upgrade, and prior to/after the firmware upgrade for the camera. It just stopped one day for no reason.
Lastly, its only the rear facing camera. Most of the time it is just a blank black screen, but every once in a while it comes up with a green screen with what looks like the ghost of some of my desktop icons. Ill post a screen shot.
I would really rather not have to send in my TFP but im starting to come to the realization I may have to. Its frustrating because I know it worked after the most recent update, so it must be a software issue and not an issue with the camera itself. 2 weeks is a long time to live without my baby...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Android version: 4.0.3
Camera Version:TF201-0x9900
If you cleared data, reset, tried other cams, updated firmware, what more can one do? Sorry man it sounds like some sort of defect.
firmware
Does doing a factory reset re-install my camera firmware? Is there anyway I can reset to prior to the ICS or camera firmware update and reinstall it?
No, once firmware is onboard it is onboard, it is not undone via a reset.
One last update
One last update on my problems. Got off the phone with ASUS a while ago and they had me do a full data wipe. Volume down/power and everything. Didn't fix the issue. Gave me an RMA and a sad heart for two weeks.
Looks like Ive joined the ranks of those who had a problem with my TFP. Shucks, things were going so well...
Best buy
I have spoken with Best Buy, and they are willing to send me a new one when they are in stock.... I didn't want to mess with Asus and this way, I won't need to send mine in.

Maybe if we both return ours to bestbuy at the same time they will just swap them . I have a skinomi on mine, Im going to call ASUS and see if I can avoid removing my bubble free masterpiece.
Hey guys did anyone find a fix for this ? I just got this problem.. or do i really have to contract asus..
Same prob. Here and I just try to correct it with rom manager and reset permisions. A downgrade to honeycomb doesen't helped 'cause the camera firmware dosen't go down, so there is no way to correct it, so i wolud say that the driver's a broken...
Not sure how I missed this thread before.
The exact same thing happened to me. Called ASUS, they had be send it to them (at my expense, of course). Sent it in late January, sat in TX "waiting for repair/testing" according to the RMA status site. After a month of nothing being done I sent an upset but not irate email, and they "fixed" it and sent it out the next day. Got my tablet back a few days later (roughly March 1st), everything was working fine. Now, not even three weeks later, the problem is happening again. I called, they want to fix it again. At least they're paying for shipping this time, supposedly.
Since yesterday, i've not been able to access my phones camera, each time i open it, it just freezes and gives me a camera failed error message and force closes, i even tried factory reseting my phone, that went in vain too and none of the applications like instagram are able to access the cam too. Can somebody help me out with this?

Looks like it's time for warranty return mate. If factory reset is also failing, high chance of camera hardware malfunction I'd say.

sadly, i got it from dubai and i stay in india. so theres no warranty here!
Personally I'd open it up and check if the connector has come off. Would take 10 minutes for the whole process.

No need for warranty. It's just a software bug. Factory reset (soft reset) won't help, but a hard reset will get the job done. Trust me, the exact same thing happened to me. After you fix it, do not attempt to switch to the front camera again until the next software update, which surprisingly came today for me (i9300BUALF1).
In order to hard reset the phone, shut it down, reinsert the battery and hold the volume up and the home keys pressed while turning the phone on. In the menu that will be presented chose to wipe cache partition, then wipe data/factory reset and there you go, your camera will be working like a charm in no time, the one on the back, of course.
Hope this helps!

I got a similar problem on my S3. Received my replacement device a few days ago and restored an old backup from my first S3. What a dumb idea Probably this nandroid restored the wrong camera-firmware.
Every camera start a "warning- unknown error" message pop-up.
Can someone please post both camera fw's as flashable CWM?
(GDFE01 & ZDFE02)
I have the same problem here, soft reseted, hard reseted, flashed stock Rom again,
no dice?
I turned on "show CPU usage" in developer options and my camera is back.
Could be just a coincidence, but unlucky ones can try anyway
u may try *#34971539# to check the firmware, voltage etc
U dug up an old thread man xD
Anyway, i experienced the same problem.. i did a hard reset, flashed almost everything and etc.
But it was a factory defect, a hardware problem :\

Some custom kernels have a problem with the highest resolution for the front camera due to memory allocation. Go to settings / applications / all and clear data for camera.
Load up the camera switch to the front one and check its working.
If it is don't select the highest resolution for the front camera use the middle one.
If that doesn't work maybe another problem.
Please state what rom and kernel versions you are running, more info the better.

Appears to be a S3 problem specificically, camera failure problems. Google ' galaxy s3 camera failed ' and there are numerous reports ranging.
from only a day old out of the box to a couple of weeks. Some reports of total failure, some hardware restart temporarily fixed, some app sharing hardware such as skype hogging the camera.
I think Verizon in the US are saying return for replacement..
Hope this helps.
Having the same problem. I thought it might have been an app I installed - I uninstalled all apps that used the camera. Still no dice. Did a factory reset. Still no dice.
Called Verizon and explained that I'd already tried a factory reset to no avail. The service rep didn't ask me to do anything else. Because I've full device insurance coverage I'm getting a new phone overnighted and should have it no later than 3pm tomorrow.

I had the same issue and tried factory reset, 3rd party camera apps. nothing worked even updated camera firmware and phone firmware still black screen with camera fail. I took off the battery cover, removed the battery, removed the phillips screws in back. carefully popped off back housing and the camera flex cable is right there. i simply unclipped and reconnected it and made sure the camera was seated tight by pushing on it.(carefully as not to damage lcd). I will say i have no warranty because i bought second hand but the are no void stickers over screws so no way to tell its been opened. camera works perfect now. I repair phones as a hobby and remebered the galaxy one having a speaker issue just like it. anyway worth a shot or if you have a warranty just get a replacement but it took me about 3 minutes,
Camera fail
I would like to update the post with my findings:
Since my last post, I did a warranty exchange on the phone. Upon receiving the new one, I reverted the broken one back to stock through the tutorial on XDA (using a prev leak bootchain, ODIN flash, etc).
All went flawlessly, and after reverted to pure stock, the camera worked again. I re-rooted and re-flashed a variety of ROMs (ASOP & TW). camera worked fine through all of it. It wasn't until I did play store updates that things went bad. After the updates the camera stopped working again. So Once again I flashed back to stock. Camera worked again. I felt comfortable doing this as I could re-produce the problem and solution.
After fooling with app updates etc I determined that the Google Talk / Goog Hangouts update was the culprit. Once that was installled the camera was inaccessible. I have since not taken that update (been a few weeks now) and all is still fine.
moral of the story to folks out there, watch out for the Hangouts update. I dont have any more info than that. Just wanted to share.

I would just like to share my experience, it may help someone... I also had this problem and fixed similar to desc. above... I had taken apart phone and cleaned out mostly all of my connectors because of water damage/corrosion issues.. I suppose I had bent the cam ribbons slightly out of place... this in turn, for some reason maybe somebody with more knowledge can answer, caused the phone to no longer power up or show any sign of life... I could not figure out and ended up paying my deductable for new phone... I knew it was specifically related to me removing the cam because I had already cleaned and got phone to a working state, but the cam didnt work so I took apart again cleaned cam port and voilà my phone stopped powering up completely... wtf! sooooo I just recently went back after reading above, and dramatically bent the cam ribbons to make sure contact was good... now everything works.. ya live and learn

No no I sent the refurb one back to vzw. Had a lot of bad luck with factory refurbs.
i know this may be a necro thread, but I just had the same issue and I solved it by replacing the front facing camera/prox sensor assembly. tried new main cameras first but when those didn't fix it I replaced the front facing and everything worked fine.

I'm brand new to this forum, but my uncle has been a member since 2008 and says you guys are the best when it comes to helping with problems for Android.
I'm having the camera issue, as well, and it spans across all camera apps, snapchat, Skype, etc. I just now discovered the front facing camera works when before it wouldn't even let me switch to it, making me think both cameras were dead. I've tried a different ROM, kernel, battery pulls, rebooting, everything in the list. I even dismantled my phone and pressed the connection in a bit, and still no luck. (Thankfully I didn't completely wreck my phone, though.) I'm trying switching from a different developer now, since I was using the only two TouchWiz ROMs I could find for my Cricket d2cri, both by the same guy. I'm hoping against hope it's an issue with the guy's programming and that it's not a sudden hardware failure after nearly a year of having the phone.
If anyone happens across this thread and has any ideas that haven't been said as to what I can do, please, throw me a message or respond to the thread. What good is a phone without a camera these days?

I got "camera fail" after i flashed ArchiDroid 1.7.2 coming from PAC nightly. Then flashed ArchiDroid 2.2.4 and camera got fixed. All flashes where clean
In my experience, custom ROMs and kernels can also cause this issue. I flashed a different custom ROM and voila, my camera was working again

Camera faillled warning
I HAVE THE PROBLEM OF CAMERA FAIL WARNING IN S5 SENSATION ROM
I AM USING S3 Gt i9300 IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM
THE CAMERA DOESNT WORK ONLY IN S5 SENSATION ROM
That is usually caused after flashing a custom kernel without having opened the camera app at least once with the stock kernel.
Go back to stock kernel, open the camera and it should work. Now flash the custom kernel and don't do a factory reset or you'll be in the same again
Which kernel you using? If you on 4.4.2 i recommended Archi Kernel.

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, I bought xperia m4 aqua dual model version e2333 a few months ago, the phone was totally okay, after getting the software update, i though it would improve my performance, so updated and after updating my phone camera started acting weird, and suddenly after a day, the front camera button got missing from camera app, and there is no front camera access in 3rd party apps, its like this phone didnt came up with front camera function! tried to diagnose but not detecting the front camera...im pretty sure its an software issue! what I tried
1)Clearing the camera app data/cache
2)Flashed old stock .ftf, cause i thought old firmware will give my camera function back, but it didnt
3) Xperia companion didnt solve the issue
many will come up here thatws an hardware issue, but before saying that, google about this, cause not only xperia m4 but many devices are facing same kinda issues I cant take selfies now, some please help me out, any advanced solution is welcomed too! i would like to try cm but cm has camera bugs so is there any possible solution? TIA
I have the exact same problem, except that even my back camera stops working sometimes. Factory reset/system repair did nothing to help so I might send it in for repairs (for the 3rd ****ing time). This phone has seriously been nothing but trouble and I really regret buying it :/
Try holding PWR + VOLUP buttons combined for 5+ seconds and switching Xperia device on again.
I have the same issue. I'm using Sony Xperia C5 Dual and it all started by the firmware upgrade. At first the whole camera app won't work including 3rd party cam apps, I've tried clearing the cache, resetting my phone and also using xperia repair app. Fortunately after the xperia companion repair, camera was working again, but it won't show the selfie camera button anymore.. tried to repeat every troubleshooting i've performed before but selfie button is still missing

After marshmallow update, the problem isnt fixed yet, whats your status bro?
i have the same problem any solution?
Try phone in Safe Mode if button for front camera will appear. If still not appear then maybe you have hardware problem - front camera is faulty.
There is no software problem with lollipop and marshmallow regarding front camera.
Unlocking of bootloader and rooting of phone don't affect front camera.
Front camera is not available-soluton
I just found a method which worked for me after trying 100-s of methods. I got my phone back from repair, and found out this morning, that my camera app didn't contain the front camera button and Snapchat also didn't offer this. So I started to look after solutions, and then found out my phone was recently repaired, so it might be a problem around there. I thought it was an assembly mistake, and tried to push the area of the front camera lens between my two fingers... I rebooted the phone and it was finally back and working! I was so worried about this, and it luckily worked. I recommend this option, might be useful in some cases.

Help!
Did anyone fix this problem?I'm facing the same problem.how can I fix it?
install a app like open camera for the device from playstore
I'm on latest stock MM and I had this strange problem. several reboots fixed it. but then if I reboot the device again the problem came back. dunno what might caused this. maybe a hardware fault? planning on disassembling this device to see if reattach the cam module would fix the issue (as well replacing my back cover and main camera. somehow my main camera just won't focus).
