Air 3.5 front camera issue

I am using the latest air 3.5 sdk to build an video application. But I find that the front camera can not render correctly in spark.VideoDisplay, while the back camera is ok.
My deivce is galaxy nexus, android 4.1.2, the code is below:
protected function init(event:FlexEvent):void
        cam = getFrontCamera();
        if (cam != null)
                videoDisplay.videoObject.attachCamera(cam);
public function getFrontCamera():Camera
        if (Camera.isSupported == false)
                return null;
        var numCameras:int = Camera.names.length;
        var frontCam:Camera;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < numCameras; i++)
                frontCam = Camera.getCamera(Camera.names[i]);
                if (frontCam.position == CameraPosition.FRONT)
                        break;
                frontCam = null;
        return frontCam;
<s:VideoDisplay id="videoDisplay" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete="init(event)">
                <s:source>
                        <s:DynamicStreamingVideoSource host="" streamType="live">
                                <s:DynamicStreamingVideoItem />
                        </s:DynamicStreamingVideoSource>
                </s:source>
</s:VideoDisplay>
The camera result below:
Any help will be appreciate.

Lumia 1520.3 Front Camera Issue

As Lumia Denim update is expected on the last quarter of the year, will it fix the front camera issue of the Lumia 1520?
My phone is originally running on Lumia Black and the phone is working perfectly until i installed the dev prev. Regardless of what camera app, once front camera is called, app automatically close. Done soft reset, hard reset and Nokia Recovery Tool but to no avail, front camera is still useless.
Hope the next iteration of the software will fix this problem.

hi mate, sorry to hear of your problems. have u tried installing Lumia Cyan as this may fix your issues (i.e. has the correct optimisations and driver updates for your Nokia). i know it is a pain to hard reset and update manually to Lumia Cyan, but it may be the only option before taking your phone to Nokia Care for inspection

Nokia Lumia 900 Front camera issues

Hi Moderator,
I bought the new Nokia Lumia 900 few days back and today for the first time when I tried using the front camera on one of my video calls it just froze. Thinking that it is software(skype, tango) problem I tried to open regular camera but the front camera wouldnt come up. I called At&t technical support he advised me to switch off the phone, remove sim, re-insert the sim and turn it on. It worked(thought I still dont understand the realtion between sim and camera). But after some time the camera again hung up on me. This time I switched my phone off for 5 minutes and then turned it on it worked. And I cannot do the whole process again and again all day. Is that a known issue or defect in my phone.

I also have a new Lumia 900 with skype installed. I am finding that the experience on wifi is still not as smooth as Facetime on an iPhone. I am also finding that after I use it a second time (my call hung up in the middle), suddenly my front camera will not work correctly anymore. It is showing the image as though it has some kind of a filter applied and there does not appear to be a way to turn or reset this filter. Switching to the front view worked fine. Audio continued to work fine and my phone did not lock up, other then possibly internet delays. I got the front camera to work again by powering down. I think there might still be software issues.

IPhone 4s having front camera issues with iOS 7.1.2 are there any fixes?

i started having some problems with the front facing camera as soon as i upgraded from iOS 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 the camera just freezes or turns black and i have to restart the phone in order to get it back working (at least the rear camera works when i do this) but as soon as i try and use the front camera it freezes again, is there any way to fix this?

To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup. If the camera works after that, restore from the backup.
If it does not work, your phone might have a hardware problem and needs to be serviced:

IPad Front Cam Issue?

Preparing to Facetime on my ipad 2; I first opened my front facing camera and created a clear; well lit picture of myself. I then went into Facetime; dialed a friend; and still using my front facing camera (but now through Facetime) in the same lighting conditions from 30 seconds ago; now my moving image was of lower quality and even less well lit. Had to redial the same person with my iphone for a better and clearer image. What gives; I got a great image in my pads front facing cam ...... and am I not using that same camera when I FaceTime????

To answer my own question:
Just discovered that the poor quality image from the front cam is an auto lighting issue in part; one tip is:
Put your hand over the ipads front camera for a second, to lighten the image; its an auto lighting issue, this should improve the brightness;
While in the regular cam; just touch the screen to change areas of brightness

Front camera issue

Could anybody answer a question about front camera on Ipad2. It's opening and closing down straight without displaing anything?

Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Air 3.0 Android Front Cam upside-down

Dear Adobe Community,
I am working on an app where I grab the video from an android (2.3.3) device, and stream it to a recording video server. My app is written in AS3 with Flash Pro CS5.5, so I first publish that, then use the adt command line to compile using the Air 3.0rc SDK for a runtime bundled version. The rear camera works perfectly fine, meaning, when I hold the phone in landscape mode, video displayed in the video object is right side up, and when I hold the phone in portrait mode, the video on screen also turns, also right side up. When I switch to the front cam, however, the video displays fine on screen in landscape mode (right side up), but when I hold the phone in portrait mode, the video turns upside down. I tried flipping the video object vertically, which fixes the 'right side up' issue for the front cam in portrait mode, but all other positions turn upside down. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? I am using the 3.0 SDK release candidate version to compile.
p.s. I have auto-rotate turned off, and position in portrait mode when I compile the apk. I tried swiching to landscape mode, but same result.
Any help or hints are greatly appreciated.
thank you,
Alex

Hi bjsr12345,
That was quite a long time back. Unfortunately, even today, if your target platform is below ICS (Android 4), that rear camera orientation issue is still present. You can adjust so that you flip the video object within your app if it's upside down (say, when you are recording a video and allowing the user to change between front and rear cams mid-stream), but there is no way to change the orientation of the video itself, sans adding some lines of code in a native Android code itself, not through Air. Hope this helps.
Alex

Camera issue still exists in AIR 16 beta

Just tested my simple camera tester with Air 16 Beta and the issue still exists.
Im refering to the issue were the camera stops responding after a number of attaches/detaches to a video object and if attached multiple calls to setMode.
The issue im referring to is Bug#3850401 - Handle leak with video.attachCamera leading to inoperable camera

MacBook Air 2013 with Mavericks 10.9.1 has Facetime HD Camera issues

Hi, I've been using a new 2013 MacBook Air with 10.9.1 for the last 3 weeks (I used to have a 2010 Macbook Pro 15 with Mavericks) and the Facetime HD camera is having issues being detected by different applications.
In my case I mainly use Google Hangouts, Skype, and sometimes Facetime. The problem lies on that the camera sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't.
I usually reboot the camera with 'sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant' and that makes it work, but it shouldn't be like that.
Please note that this was not happening with my 2010 MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I changed to this new 2013 MacBook Air only 3 weeks ago. Nevertheless, people that I work with (who use retina macbooks with Mavericks) are not having this issue.
Last week I had to install a plugin (in chrome) for a new online site similar to Hangouts called BlueJeans. Bluejeans very seldomly recognizes the cam, only when I reboot it with the 'line' above or reboot the machine. The people I work with didn't have any issues, so I suspect this has to do with 2013 MacBook Air's Facetime HD cameras which might be different to the rest, or too new on the market.
It's as if when I start using it in Hangouts and then hang, later it might not work in Skype, or viceversa.
If you can help, that'll be great, and I appreciate it. Nevertheless, I feel Apple must take care of this in the next Mavericks update (many people are having camera issues).

Hi Jal1980
I had the same pb...
On my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 I Had a problem with my video on skype, facetime, photoboot....
I have tried all the solution offered in every forum and never got to a satisfying result. I downgraded to mountain lion from mavericK without result. I reseted the Pram or SMC (I forgot), and other things, I played with the plugin /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/, I tried several version of skype.... NONE of this solution worked....
Until that day a friend came to my place and installed AppleJack for Mac, a free software (http://download.cnet.com/AppleJack/3000-2094_4-40293.html) that totally solved this issue amongst others...
Here is the full page of the program http://applejack.sourceforge.net/man.html
And here quick instructions on how to use the program. Have fun!
Restart your computer. After you hear the startup chime, press and hold down the
Cmd and s keys together (this will put you in single user mode). You should soon get a Terminal-type screen with a dramatic garble of indecipherable messages and a shell prompt that looks something like [root#]
2. Now, type applejack at the prompt. (If you’ve installed applejack manually, or have not created an alias to applejack for the root user, you may have to enter the full path to the script at the prompt.) You will be guided through a series of steps that will repair your drive and delete possibly corrupted files. Options are selected by typing the number corresponding to the task you want to perform, and then hitting the return key. For example, when you see a few different options, like this:
[1] Option One [2] Do something else [3] Another task [4] A useful task
From time to time, in interactive mode, you will be asked to answer yes or no to a question. To answer yes, type y and hit the return key. To answer no, type n and hit the return key.
An advantage of using the interactive mode instead of auto mode is that you are given options for also cleaning out user-level caches and preference files. If you would like to clean out your main admin user caches, for example, you will need to use interactive mode.
3. Auto mode: If you want to leave
applejack to do it’s own thing, just choose option [a] when the script starts. You can also start right up in auto mode by typing: applejack auto at the prompt. applejack will run through all the basic cleanup tasks in order. Alternatively, you can also type applejack auto restart which will tell applejack to do the cleanup tasks and then automatically restart your computer. Other options are: applejack auto shutdown which tells AppleJack to shut down the computer after running its tasks, or applejack AUTO shutdown which tells AppleJack to run automatically in "deep cleaning" mode (see above) and then shut down.
I hope this helps. It completely solved my issue.

Issues with iPhone 5 front camera

Front camera of my new iPhone 5 is not working. When I hit the button it just gets stuck. I've reset my iPhone but this doesn't help. Could you please help me?

You will need to attempt a full restore through itunes to fix this issue, a reset wont fix the problem. If it still wont work after that it could be defective, Apple will replace your iPhone 5 free of charge

IPad Air - Front Camera in Camera App

Hi,
I just purchased the IPad Air as an upgrade from orginal IPad.
I have a question regarding the front facing camera when in the camerqa application. If you switch to the front camera in the app, you will notice the 'toolbar' remains on the same side of the actual front camera, weather you are in horzantal or vertical mode. The toolbar sits on the same side of the camera; thus when you go to take a picture your hand goes over the camera. Why is this??? and Can it not be changed?
Obviously, you could awarkwardly use your other hand but then it covers the screen.
The orginal Ipad didn't do this.. So why does the NEW model do it? Any help?
Thanks,

Thanks for the replies !!
I have flipped the ipad into all directions and for me the 'shutter' toolbar always remains on the same side of the camera. Nothing is rotating etc. The camera is on the right and the toolbar is on the right.
@ JimHdk - I meant Ipad 2 sorry.

Lumia 810 front camera white balance and flicker

Maybe I'm expecting too much from the front camera, but it gives a purple tint to everything! Is this normal on this phone? I can manually set the whitebalence but it never looks right.
Also, I noticed it was flickering badly in low light last night. Its only my second day with the phone so I am going to do more testing tonight.
Are these normal or should I exchange the phone? The back camera has **bleep** whitebalance as well but at least I can get it to look decent.

The front-facing camera and white balance issues also occur on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I tried following Joe ... Ward's link http:www.adobe.com/go/wish which led me to eventually led me to "Adobe AIR Ideas website" and this link: http://ideas.adobe.com/air/ is not working: HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
Adobe, please make a note of it... we need automatic white balance "WHITE_BALANCE_AUTO" support on these tablets and mobile devices in AIR for Android!

Mobile data doesn't work and I can't access the front camera.

Hi, I received my new Xperia Z3 Compact in white just over a week ago and unfortunately I have few unresolved issued with it which kind of spoils the experience of owning a new phone.
I just switched from a number of Iphones and Xperia was the handset that really impressed me.
I couldn't see the point of getting an overpriced Iphone with a limited storage capability.
Unfortunately my Xperia Z3c has some issues;
- I can't get the front camera work
- I can get my internet only through Wi-Fi and my unlimited 3G data doesn't work at all (T-Mobile U.K)
- Three Swipe Gesture doesn’t appear to be working as it should on any Android device (I'm told).
So I am not a very happy user at the moment and slowly starting to miss the Iphone.

Hi casson50ml,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Sorry to hear about these issues, I would first suggest clearing the data for the camera.
Menu > settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear Data
Once done try using the device.
In regards to the Internet, try performing an Internet settings download.
Menu > Settings > More > Internet Settings > Accept Disclaimer > Choose Network.
Now try using the network data on the handset.
Can you explain more about the 3 Finger Gesture issue?
