So my front facing camera has been broke for a few months now, tried factory resetting and even replacing the module itself and nothiung worked. Everything involving the front facing camera would crash if I tried to use it. Today I tried the "one-way video chat" that pops up when you make a phone call and was shocked to see it was actually working. Only the right camera was showing video, not the left. Is there a way to disable just the left front facing camera?
I've had the same exact problem I've never dropped my phone or anything I factory reset and changed the module but have not gotten it to work I searched everything I could and thought I was the only one with the issue but how did you do a one way video chat? Is it working with the other apps now at least?

When you call someone that supports it you just press one way video chat on the dialer. I'm assuming other apps are attempting to use either both or the left camera. I am guessing my left front facing camera is broken because when I do the one way video chat, it does not display video from the left front facing camera., only the right. It is also working with an app called "BestMe Selfie"

I am currently running CM10 FXP203 on Mini Pro (sk17a). I tried to make my first video call with Google Talk since loading CM10 yesterday. I could hear and see the other person, but they could not hear or see me. My video feed was like a scrambled TV station - static. Occasionally a still image of my face would pop into the screen, but then shortly after right back to static. I tried the front and rear cameras with the same results.
Front/rear cameras work fine in the camera app.
I saw this similar thread in the NEO forum, without a resolution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123222
Any ideas? I will try updating to a newer FXP but I'm not expecting that to solve it as the change logs don't indicate any work on this.
Thanks.
I installed FXP210 and can confirm the same problem. Do others have this problem?
Hi Guys
I am facing a terrible problem with newly shipped Micromax A116 phone. The front camera in non functional. The camera app do not have any icon to flip to the front camera. Have tried installing skype to check on front camera and skype as well do not select the front camera. I have tried to go into Factory mode and tried to run a test on sub camera, there also it doesnt work. does that mean hardware is faulty .. ???
Please help.
thanks,

Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:
Hey guys i recently noticed that when i open the camera app or snapchat and switch to back camera the camera will make some weird noise like an engine and sometimes it just sounds like a "click" sound. If i open the camera app and it is already on the back camera it still makes a sound, so not necessarily when i switch. It kind of like as long as i start the back camera some weird noise will appear.
Does anyone else have this "issue", is it an issue, should i replace the phone etc.?
Appreciate any help
Same thing is happening to me. Did you got your phone replaced?
I got the same thing here. Doesn't affect video or pictures so I could care less
Today I was going to buy a used P Smart 2019 POT-LX1, when testing the phone I Noticed that when switching from the back cam to the front cam, the (Huawei stock) Camera app automatically crash/closes itself, I get no error message though, tried the same in video mode also same issue repeats itself, is anybody else having the same issue? And is it software and can be fixed or hardware and front cam needs replacement?
