Hi,
Greetings !!!
I would like to know what is the root cause of Iphone camera hanging ?
I am very frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues like while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode with full of pink & black line.
I noticed while camera app turns ON the phone going to hand.
I went to apple services server with this problem & they said they didn't see any errors.
Kindly response with my request, and provide me the solution.
Thannks & regards,

That often happens with cameras when you take pictures of a computer screen. LCD screens "flicker" and the camera will often catch the flicker.

IPhone 5 camera issue.... NEED HELP please

I just got this iPhone 5 camera issue. I was taking pictures (around 20 pictures), suddenly the camera only focused downward (to the ground). Even I raised the iphone higher and focused to the head of person that stood in front of me, but the camera still took the pictures of that person's hip and legs. Every pictures that I took were focusing downward.
I tried it today the second time. After I continously took 40 pictures, this problem started again.
Should I get a replacement? IS it a ios6 or phone problem?
Actually, after I restarted the phone, this problem was gone. But I just want to make sure that this problem will not come again after 1year warrantee.

when your r on your camera app, press and hold the sleep/wake button and after 4 secs you'll see the red slide of power off option. without sliding that, just press and hold the home button until the camera app quits. This will reset the app.
If this doesnt work, go to your comp and delete the softwareupdate.ipsw file from itunes media folder (if you've previoulsy updated or restored) and do a restore. this will download a new update file from apple server that will be error free.

Have not seen this issue, but keep an eye on it so to not miss the warranty period. If it does it again, take it to apple and get a replacement.

3rd iPhone 5, due to purple lines when using the camera.

I am now on my 3rd iPhone 5 in a year, after a lot of hassle getting one, but that was down to Vodafone, never use them again.
My 1st 2 iPhone 5's were fine for about 5/6 months, and then when I used the camera a lot, they started getting purple lines on the screen.
The 1st time this happened it was there every time I tried to use the camera, but the 2nd time it happened it disappeared afterwards, but, as you would expect I still had it replaced.
Although the 2nd time the 'genius' at Kingston were not so helpful, and told me that it was software, and was due to me restoring from a backup from my previous iPhone, I explained that I hadn't, but they wouldn't have it, but then realized that I was telling the truth, but didn't apologize, just said, 'oh you didn't restore did you?'
My phone is now out of warranty and Apple can not guarantee it wont happen again, or what they will do if it does. and the 'genius' said to e-mail Apple, but couldn't give me an e-mail address.
I think I'll be returning to android when my upgrade is next due.
Who else has had this issue?
And what did Apple do? Did they help you?
Why do Apple have no e-mail address for customers, or even an actual address!
It seems unbelievable!

I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar. In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken. However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something. Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

The camera from my iphone 4s has some purple lines

When I open my iPhone camera app is shows purple lines. They are really small lines not really big they are only in the camera app not all over the screen,so when i take a picture it shoes them on the picture,
Does anyone know if apple will rellace my phone or fix it
Thanks in advance!!!

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Iphone 5 Camera app vertcal lines

Hi
I have vertical purple line in camera/photos windows.
This is randomly, i don't know if it's hardware or software.
This is not the purple blurd.
help
My web site

In all fairness, the tech support process (from Apple or VZW) will always start with Reset or Restore...especially if it is a new issue that no one really knows about. At this time...with the phone being less than a week old, any and all issues mentioned that are solely related to the iPhone 5 are going to be "new" so...you're going to be told to try resetting or restoring. I know there used to be the "5 R's" for troubleshooting Apple products...this may have only applied to iPods but usually, if you attempted those before contacting Apple your issue would be resolved. Reset and Restore were 2 of those R's (Restart, which would be like a soft reset was also one of them. Can't remember the last 2). Not sure if exchanging is what you need to do at this point but it's always an option...although you will have to wait awhile to receive a replacement right now. Plus, you have to remember if you exchange for issues you aren't actually having but then end up with a device that DOES have those issues you won't have another exchange option under your 14 day exchange period. You will be locked in to the device and any exchanges you receive could be "refurbished"....or "like new"...which I know wouldn't make me happy if my iPhone isn't even a month old...or in this case a week! That's a judgement call though. My thought has always been if it ain't broke...otherwise you may not like what you end up with and wish you still had your original device.

Iphone 4s Camera issue with 8.0.2

After upgrading to 8.0.2 on our iphone 4S camera does not work. When opening the camera app from the lock screen or after unlocking the phone the camera app sometimes comes on if on video if swiping to the still photo it then goes blurry. Other times it is just plain black. Tried other apps from the app store and none work. IOS 8 worked just fine. Anybody else having the same issue? Only other thing I guess is to do factory reset but really don't want to if other owners having same issue maybe Apple will send out a new update.
Thanks
Jeff

I opened my Camera App after the iOS 8.0.2 upgrade, the camera would not work at all (no image (just blurred black), no response on snap shot button), the Flash options, HDR option, Timer options at the top of screen were opening for selections to be made. None of the bottom options work at all ( filter effects, camera mode selections, snap shot button, shortcut to picture gallery). The front / back camera selector at top right does switch even though there is no image from either camera, you can tell it switches cause the top options go away when on front camera mode, also when I toggle between the front & back cameras 2 - 3 times, it locks up everything on screen that was working, leaving nothing be responsive at all. I was thinking why is this going on, surely my camera (both cameras) weren’t destroyed by the iOS 8 install, makes no since. Then I thought to look around in the apps on device, something that would access the camera without actually physically opening the camera app on device. I ran upon the Game Center App (pre-installed), there is an option there to add a photo to your Game Center ID, I clicked on that, and an option came up (select photo / take photo) I selected take photo, and There Was My Cameras, Working Great, Crystal Clear Image, front and back cameras working perfectly. So, that leads me to believe that it is Definitely an issue with the iOS 8 (a bug) that affects camera operation, at least on the 4S, better yet, my 4S. Apple Support has left me hangin as far as my issue goes. same goes with other issues I'm having as well.
( jpND01 ) try going into Game Center, and see if your camera has an image in that App. By no means is that a fix, it just lets you know that your cameras are working. There aren't any of the cool (New Camera App) features there, just snap a picture for Game Center Profile.
Note: I am a member of Game Center, the Add Photo to ID comes right up when you open the App, don't know if that option is there if a none member.

IPhone 4 camera issue: check it out!

I'm asking you, iPhone 4 users, if you can make a test of your camera.
I am substantially pleased by the iPhone 4 camera but after some days of use, viewing the images at 100% crop (1:1), I discovered a defect on all the shots.
At the far left side, next to border and top to bottom, the image is blurry, independently of the point of focus of the lens.
I post five shots of mine (original, not edited) so you can check out and compare:

Please let me know if this is happening to you too and is to be considered "normal" or if my iPhone camera lens got some problems and need to be swapped.
Thank you

I don't see anything, but I might be blind. If there's a bit of blurring on the edge, it's easy to crop.
The reason it might be blurry is because of how the iPhone takes a photo. You might think it's an instant capture of the whole scene, but it actually quickly captures the image from left to right. You might be seeing a small amount of jiggling as the image is captured. A real camera, using a CMOS image detector is much faster. A good digital camera can go up to ISO 6400 with 1/1000 speed (OK, only in very bright light).
This is why mobile phones (whether the iPhone or whatever) are just junk for taking real photos. You're trying to find perfection with a $20 part on the iPhone. If you want perfect photos, you need a $5000 Nikon D5 with $2000 lenses. But of course, a great camera is not the panacea for all photo issues or user incompetence.
I think your photos are nice, considering you're using a very limited iPhone camera. Crop it, and it'll look really good. Otherwise, your expectations are way too high for the iPhone camera.

IPhone 4 Camera Issues

My iPhone 4 camera has a weird color all of a sudden. I've had my iPhone 4 for a little over 1 year and haven't had a problem like this before. When I flip the camera around (so that the camera is facing me) it works fine! But when I flip it back around the colors change and it's very distorted.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried turning my iPhone off, waiting awhile, then turning it back on. I've also tried syncing it with my computer and making sure that everything was updated and backed up. I've even deleted some photo apps (such as PhotoWizard and SnapChat) to see if there were too many apps overloading my camera, but nothing has worked so far. I'm considering just restoring my iPhone, but I want to use that as a last resort.

I had this happen when using a certain iPhone case. The color of the case was reflecting off the lens. Try using your phone without a case and see if it still does it. :-)

Anyone having issues with iphone 6 camera with purple colors and it freezing?

I'm not sure if this is iOS 8.0.2 related as I didn't take many pics with iOS 8 when I first got my iphone 6 activated this past Sunday, but my camera app has been acting up. Usually, when I move the camera around to take pics and it tries to focus, sometimes the screen will freeze or there will be a purple haze. It is worse in the slow-mo or video options. I've searched online and seen articles on chromatic aberration on previous iphones, but I think what I have is beyond that. I haven't seen people posting about my same issues, so I'm wondering if it's hardware related. Anyone else experience something like this? If I take it to the Apple Store, will they replace it? I haven't dropped my phone or anything- everything else seems fine, but it's been less than a week so far.

IPhone 4s camera issue, extra grid line - please help!

Hi everyone,
I have a lovely new 4s, have had it for less than 24 hours and there is a problem with the camera that I cannot find anywhere else on the web yet... I have an extra grid line that does not disappear and which does show up on the photos I take!
Details: the grid line is on the main rear facing camera only; it is there whether the grid is turned on or off; it appears as a grid line on the photos you take; the camera is up-to-date with the latest version; I have tried restarting the phone; it only happened after I switched to HDR mode and then when I turned HDR off, this mysterious extra grid line was there; the line is only there in photo mode - it disappears when switched to video mode...
and I think that's those are all the details I can give you!
Is anyone experiencing / experienced this same problem? If so, please help!! Thank you so much!
Thanks everyone, and Happy Holidays to all!

Hi KiltedTim. Thanks, yes, I will definitely have to do this if I can't get rid of it - just so annoying, because won't be able to go for a while, until after the Christmas holidays, which means I'll be without my cool iPhone camera!
Also - the one thing I forgot to mention in my original post is that I took several photos which all came out perfectly. The issue only happened after the first time I switched HDR mode on and then turned it back off.
Thanks for your help,
Any more suggestions out there anyone? Thanks all!

IPhone 5C - Camera Issue

Had my iPhone 5C for about 3 months now, but I've only recently I've noticed a problem with the main camera. Every time I try and take a video I get a loud white noise hissing sound that I can't seem to get rid of. It's so overpowering that I can't even hear the sound of my own voice when I playback a video, let alone anything else.
The front facing camera on the other hand is fine and has no problems. I'm not really sure what's wrong with the phone, thinking maybe there's a problem with the internal microphone, but I don't know this for certain. Is there a way to resolve this issue or will I have to take my iPhone for repair?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Cheers

I have attached a print screen which will show what the issue is!

Yet another iPhone 4 camera issue - flash positioned too close to camera!

I have noticed photos taken with flash leave a bloom of white light on the left side of the photos. Seems to be the glare due to the fact the flash is positioned so close to the lens! There are no 'divider' between the 2.
Usually on other phones, the lens and flash are hollow to minimise this effect, on the iPhone 4 both are on a flat surface and 2mm away from each other which exaggerate the problem even more!
This problem seems to resemble similar issue with the N97.
Why didn't Apple put the flash away from the lens to avoid this issue?
Sample 1 without flash:

I thought this was a problem when I first used my flash, but realized I had my finger too close to the flash and it was reflecting off of my finger.. Just make sure the light is not bouncing off of something in the environment that is close to the LED i.e. fingers..
