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.

  • 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.

  • 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

                    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]);

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • If the DroidX had a front camera how easy would it be to video call with Skype or Fringe?

    Apparently EVO with Sprint you can video conference with Fringe but is this something that has to been done through WIFI?  I was ready to upgrade to the DroidX but I am wondering if I should hold off for the front camera.  I love using Skype video and it would be amazing to have this feature on the phone if it is an easy thing to do.
    It would be greatly appreciated if someone is knowledgable about this information.
    Thank you!

    Since that is a hypothetical situation (Droid X front camera), there is no real way to even guess how the carrier or manufacture would implement this feature because if you look at how other devices use this feature you notice that they are not implementing this feature the same way.  Also in regards to the EVO video calls is across the 4G network but from what I have read they have been experiencing a lot of connection issues do to the network being over whelmed (which isnt a surprise)...

  • IPhone 6 Plus front camera not working or with lines and static?

    My iPhone 6 Plus front camera is having problems. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and the camera app freezes. Sometimes it works fine for a little while and sometimes it shows multi color static or lines.
    I've tried:
    Restoring from phone (without restoring backup)
    Restoring from iTunes (without restoring backup)
    Deleting ispw and re-downloading iOS 8.1.1 then restore
    The phone is less than 2 months old. I noticed it acting weird a week or so after I bought it but thought it was just software. At first it wouldn't work when using the camera app but worked fine using facetime. Now it acts up regardless.
    Any advice or opinions will be much appreciated.

    I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
    Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
    I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1.  I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
    Are you a developer?  IF so try asking in the developer forum.

  • My front camera on my phone will not open at all I've already reset, restored, and did a back up and it still won't work

    My front camera has stopped working suddenly and I have already tried to restore reset and backup

    Hello Engilliam13,
    You may need to contact Apple Support in order to obtain service for your iPhone, as this is the only step remaining from our iPhone Hardware Troubleshooting guide.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My camera always freezes when I try to switch to front camera view. How can I fix this?

    The original camera app on my iPod touch does not work. The camera shutter would not open. I purchased and downloaded another camera app and it works- only the camera freezes when Itouch the icon in top left corner to get it to switch to front camera view. Has anyone had this problem? If so is there something I can do to correct it?

    Have you tied the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
    - Also look at this long-running previous discussion on your problem.

  • Front Camera Freezing and Shutting Down

    i have an iphone 4s and when i try to use the front camera the screen will freeze and turn blue after this it will turn black and switch me back to the rear camera. And if press on the screen for the camera to turn around again it turns black and goes back to the rear camera screen again.
    ive tried resetting my phone and force quitting the app already

    Restore as new, not from backup.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.
