Front camera in lumia 630

I purchased my 1st Lumia (630 dual sim) 1 month ago from India assuming that it has a front camera and never bother to check.I now realise that this feature isn't available in this model.Is there an option for me to return this and upgrade to another one with front camera ?

  • Front Camera Trouble

    I am having problem using my front camera of Lumia 620. Few days ago it was fine. Last night when I tried to check the front camera view I opened Camera and then pressed the front camera button[Note: Back camera was doing fine]. After pressing the button/screen, the phone remained in a hang condition for 2/3 seconds nd directed to the home screen! I thought it was due to my unconscious press of home button so i again opened the camera. But this time my back camera didn't even open and just a matter of 2/3 seconds it again directed me to the home screen! This happened several times so i thought i put much pressure on my phone so I restarted the phone. After j restarted the phone I quickly moved to the camera, this time the front camera was working but same scenario happened when i pressed the front camera button. Simply don't know what's wrong with my phone. Now need a solution!

    Hi, Shurjo. Have you tried restarting the phone? Do not forget to remove the battery.
    You may also try to reset the camera settings of the phone. Go to Settings > Applications > Photos+Camera > Reset camera.
    Ensure that all the system apps are up-to-date. Scan the QR codes found in the below link.

    Is the software of the phone up-to-date? What's the current Firmware Revision number? Check that Lumia Black is displayed under Settings > Extras+Info.

  • 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.

  • Lumia 1520 reboots when front camera is used

    Hi all, I picked up an international version of the Lumia 1520 a couple of weeks back in India and I just realized that the phone reboots when ever I try to use the front camera. This is happening with all apps. The apps that i have tried till now are as follows
    OneShot, Nokia Camera, Default camera app and Camera360.
    The reboot happens with all the apps only when I try to use the front camera. I have tried hard resetting the phone but that too has not solved the problem. I have seen a couple of discusstions on this topic over here but none of them contained any helpful replies.
    The handset is running the Lumia Black update. I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or software issue. If it is a software issue I dont mind waiting for a patch, but if it is a hardware issue then I have no option but to reutrn to it. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!

    I purchased a Nokia Lumia 1520 from Snapdeal. 2 days after using the phone, I inserted an SD card for data transfer and it didn't work with the phone. I tried to format the SD card as per Nokia forums and also tried to reset the phone but to no help. I took the handset to Nokia Care (Net Dot Solutions, Tilak Nagar, Delhi) and they tried to do a software upgrade but to no help.
    I submitted the brand new working phone and the Nokia care kept it for 15 days. The only reply I ever got from them was that the set is in the factory with no status update at all. After 15 days I got response from Nokia care that the Phone is warranty devoid and not covered under warranty any more. There was no specific reason given for the warranty being devoid.
    When I went to collect the set, it had minor scratches on the screen, which were not there when the set was submitted. The support personnel said that these are very minor and expected to be there. Very Strange! Also upon using the phone after I got it back from Nokia Care, I found that the front Camera is not working and the phone crashes each time the Camera is opened. Also the Auto-Brightness control (probably due to its sensor) is also not working.
    Nokia care has damaged my phone in the 15 days they had it. Who is to be held responsible. And now they say my phone is warranty devoid and I need to pay for any repairs. 
    NOKIA Care - Disgusting!

  • 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

  • Lumia Front Camera.

    I haev had my Lumia for a few months now. I love my camera, but have realised I can't seem to work out how to use the front camera.
    I searched today and found that there should be an icon in the bottom left ocrner when the camera is on. I have the movie camera but not the other icon to change to front camera.
    Is there some setting that is not right. I have looked through all posts making sure camera software is up to date. I have turned the phone off and then restarted. And have also reset the camera settings? But nothing.
    I don't want to reset the whole phone cos i don't want to loose everything that is on it.
    I even downloaded skype to see if that could get it to work, but it still wont come on? 
    Help please  
    Thanks

  • Lumia 620 option to select front camera has vanish...

    Noob here so go easy on me, tried searching but couldn't find anything...
    My Lumia 620 seemed to spend most of the weekend updating various things including windows 8.1 cyan. now when I select the camera function I haven't got the option anywhere to select the front camera.  When I start the standard (Microsoft?) camera app either from the apps menu or by using the camera button I just get a choice of Video, Burst and Single Photo modes across the bottom, tapping on ... brings up photo and video settings but no option anywhere to change to front camera.  The rear camera seems to work fine.
    Is this likely to be related to the updates or could something else be up (I haven't tried to use the front camera for a while).
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Solved!

    Everything's simple when you know it/how to
    From within the camera settings, you can also change default camera app if you've installed other ones. The Nokia camera app and Nokia panorama app are free apps to concider if you like taking pictures
    And if you're one of those selfie-junkies, you have the Nokia Glam me app

  • Lumia 928 Front-Cam Pictures are Yellow

    Hello,
    After the recent Amber update, the phones takes HORRIBLE front-camera photos.  The white balance settings don't help at all and everything is given a yellow tint - people look like a cartoon from the Simpsons.  Please tell me this is being addressed in an update that won't make me wait until GDR3... I'm going back to school soon and I'd really like to show off the camera quality especially since it is such a beautiful phone.  Please fix this, I miss taking photos on my phone. 
    In addition, the pro-cam gives a yellow tint and softens images in the hi-res review.  I thought it would give the full HD review?
    Thank you,
    - Alex

  • Lumia 920 front camera lens distortion (not dust)

    Hi community,
    Have a next issue - all pictures/video from front camera are distorted on top (I can see that upper edge of camera is just covered by glass curve - so the effect I'm getting is quite annoying). I've seen couple of videos on youtube made by 920 front camera - everything is OK there. Please see attached couple of images. Is anybody else having this issue?

    It was physical defect (so have no idea how your reset would help solving it) Got replacement from my carrier. Glass is flat this time - no curves on edges. So no "lens" distortion effect. Please see photos of the front camera and gorilla glass before and after replacement.

  • 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!

  • Lumia 630 bugs

    I am using Lumia 630 since last 4/5 months but now i am feeling some major problems . I am listing the problems below. Please help me to resolve then. And please tell me solution other then hard reset cause its not possible for me to re-download ask my software after hard reset. I have more than 60 software installed. And i don't have a Wi-Fi to download them again. The problems are:
    1. The folders of WhatsApp photos are not showing in the photos section. Though the WhatsApp photos are in the picture folder in sd card. They are not showing in all photos also.
    2. Not even a single song is showing in music section . But other third party software are showing them.
    3. The .xap files are not showing in store . In the install local app section only few software are showing but i have many other .xap files also.
    4. While calling with headphone plugged in i could not able to change the volume of headphones. It's always remain on full volume.
    Please help me to solve these problems. I am facing many problems. And its disappointing me. During first 2/3 months it was going ask right and none of these problems were there.
    Please please help me to drive these problems. I have already tried hard reset many times but after 2/3 days it again showed the same problem. Please tell me is there any way to backup all downloaded apps so that i can try a hard reset.

    OK, taking them one at a time.
    1. Due to the security designs within the O/S, applications are not allowed to see each other's storage areas.  Each app is 'sandboxed' to their own operating portion of memory and management of their own files, etc. within that storage area.  (i.e. there is no c: drive or public folders where they can store stuff anyone can use).  Hence, the pictures in WhatsApp have to be managed by WhatsApp within it's own area.  There are some exceptions to the rule, which MS has provided for camera apps, Office files, etc. but these are specific.
    2. The same is true for music files -- depending upon where you are getting them from.  The app you are using only has access to its own storage -- not to the overall Music Hub folders.
    3.  I'm not sure what you mean by "...the .xap files are not showing up in the Store".  The Store has apps for sale/download which are essentially .xap files but you request the app via its name, not the specific .xap file.
    4. This sounds like a hardware problem with the volume control buttons.  Or possibly a problem with a specific app.  Can you change the volume of notification sounds, etc.?  what about call volume through the headphones?  This might be solved by a hard reset.
    Hope this helps.

    Probably only option left for you to try before returning device is to try re-installing existing software using OVI Suite > Tools > Software updates > re-install existing software in case of any possible software corruption.

    It beggers belief as to why have a camera on the front if you cant use it. 
    Because people would probably have complained if it didn't have one at all
    At the end of the day, the issue here is only software. The hardware is already in place.
    You can't easily add hardware to something afterwards without a complete redesign
    It reminds me of the old Nokia 6630. It supported video calling but had no front camera.
    You either had to use the back camera or buy a separate stand to sit the phone in that had a forward facing camera on
