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?
Hello everyone. I've looked everywhere and tried everything I can to fix my issue but with no luck. My camera doesn't work at all and the flash would only stay on for a few seconds using a torch app. At first I found a loose cable but a few hours later it stopped working again and I found the cable was partially loose again but just wouldn't work after that and the cable stays connected. I've tried a factory reset and I've also even replaced the actual camera. I also tried checking samsung apps for a camera update and couldnt find anything. After flashing with a nightly build of CyanogenMod 10.1 the flash will stay on with the included torch app with no problem but still no camera. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at a loss and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Anyone please? I've been stuck with this problem for 6 months and don't want to have to buy a whole new phone just to get a working camera. Its the only camera i have and I need it soon.
I've got the exact same problem and I haven't found a solution to it, seems like even changing the camera module won't do the trick
I saw a post here from someone that changed the Camera module and seems like it didnt work.

Yeah I changed my camera module and it didn't work either.
About a week ago my camera (running CM 10.1) started to have issues focusing. I tried changing camera settings and used different camera apps but the results were same.
When a factory reset didn't work I tried a stock Samsung ROM and to my surprise the issue persisted. I never had this problem before. The camera seems to only be able to focus when objects are very, very close otherwise pictures are incredibly blurry.
Any thoughts? I'm afraid it may be a hardware issue.

Hi!
I have Z2 with latest 5.0 build (.28). 1-2 days since i updated my phone, camera app stopped working. I opened it and it's just a black screen with control buttons. It doesn't make pictures. I tried to reset my phone with PCC, but problem stayed. I downloaded other camera apps from Play Market and they also didn't work, then i turned off stock camera app (in settings) and other camera apps worked fine. When i turn stock camera app back it works for some hours and then again black screen.
Is it a SW or HW problem? Does enyone know what to do?
Thanks
I have the same problem
i have never faced this problem, but i have heard that it was a couple of bugs in the 5.0.2 builds.
Try to upgrade your firmware and se if it works better
