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.

  • I am frequently experiencing Iphone 5 camera issues, while taking photos all of the sudden the camera going to hang mode

    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.

  • It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps.  Any thoughts?

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

  • 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.

  • How to transfer a few selected pictures I need from iPhone 4 Camera Roll with four hundred pictures to PC Vista. Just selected pictures not all folder

    How to transfer a few selected pictures from iPhone 4 Camera Roll with four hundred pictures to my PC Vista. Just selected pictures not all folder. Thanks

    You do understand though, that if something happened to your phone - if you lost it, if it were stolen, if you dropped it and were unable to access it, if it got wet - all those pictures that you had not transferred to your computer would no longer be so "handy." Just saying, I have not only read that horror story from many users on this forum, but have seen it live from many users in my own life. Do yourself a favor and back them up sooner rather than later by transferring them all now. Trust me on this, you won't regret it.

  • Is iphone 4 having issues with Blue tooth?. I have checked four iphone brand new sets from different location. Not detecting other devices

    Is iphone 4 Having issues with Blue Tooth connectivity ? Last saturday i have bought up iphone 4,  when i checked that device blue tooth was not detecting the other iphones. I went to apple store in Ottawa. They checked with their Mac computers. They said Yes this iphone is having problem. Please exchange it on the store you bought up.  I have exchanged that iphone with brand new, again same issues...
    iPhone is not detecting other devices with Blue Tooth.  I have checked with other two. they having same problem.
    Please tell me, What apple gonna do with my iphone now ?  Should i keep it ? or cancel my contract with cell phone company.  As i am sure they not going to replace it again or gonna make excuses.
    Waiting for replies [email protected]

    I have upgraded my iphone 3 to a 4. I just recently discovered that while the iphone 3 automatically discovers bluetooth but the iphone 4 does not (couldn't discover any bluetooth). My bluetooth is Jabra SP200. It turned out, there are other steps to take with the bluetooth device to pair with the iphone 4. As stated, iphone 3 detected it automatically. But w the iphone 4, I had to press and hold the answer button of the Jabra for it to pair with iphone 4. Call the bluetooth manufacturer directly and check with their alternative pairing procedures.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes and iPhone 4 sync issues with Windows 7 64 bit

    I am getting several errors with sync'ing iTunes to my iPhone on windows7 64bit. I reinstalled iTunes, I did a repair on iTunes, even tried a RESTORE on iPhone, but it gives me so many errors one after another after another.
    1. Some of the items were NOT copied to iPhone "iPhone" because one ore more errors occured.
    2. Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. An internal device error occured.
    3. The iPhone "iPhone" can NOT be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
    4. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. The required file can not be found.
    5. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. A duplicate filename was specified.
    6. The iPhone "iPhone" can not be synced. An internal device error occured.
    These errors keep appearing one after the other.
    I have fully uninstalled iTunes and ALL Apple programs from my PC, rebooted, disabled antivirus/firewall software, etc.
    I have tried changing time zones.
    I have created a new user account on same laptop and still have same issues with iTunes.
    Restore fails with error "Unable to read file or file is corrupt".
    Yet iTunes works fine on a 32bit operating system of Windows 7.
    The problem is that I upgraded my laptop and the new laptop is Win7 64bit. I have ALL the newest drivers, and I checked to ensure it was not a BIOS or CHIPSET driver causing issues. All windows updates are up to date and current.
    I have been trying for over a week with every piece of trouble shooting I can find to make this work.
    Any help or further information would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.
    Thanks in Advance

    I too am having the exact same issues on the same laptop! I spent an hour last night with "supervisor" in tech support who didn't solve my problem but did close the ticket (210757099 for any Apple people that might read this). Thanks a lot Ben!
    I have seven ipod/iphone/ipad devices so I am very familiar with how to sync. In the last few weeks, version 10.2 of iTunes (I'm up to 10.2.1.1) has gotten less and less reliable in successfully sync'ing to the devices. It started out with my 3GS, but my iPhone 4 was fine. Then I got an iPad2 and now NOTHING will sync properly. Every time I plug one in (or press the sync button) it wants to do a restore from the backup made the last time it sync'd. It does that, reboots the device and sync's.
    I've gotten a ton of errors, here's a sample.
    iBooks couldn't be installed on my iPhone unknown error 0xE800000C
    Textie couldn't be installed on my iPhone, unknown error 0xE8000013
    "failed required file not found" - This is one of my favorite error messages. It demonstrates how Apple is becoming like Microsoft. It is 100% accurate and totally useless. It would be helpful if it told me the NAME of the file that was not found...
    unknown error 0xE8004006
    "duplicate file found" - Again, in true Microsoft form, it didn't tell me the NAME of the file that was duplicated.
    I tried everything discussed in the following thread but it did not work.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2401822
    Stopping the enhanced USB controller didn't work. Mine is the Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller (version 9.1.1.1020).
    A few days ago I got hundreds of errors in a sync. When it completed, a dialogbox came up asking if I wanted to send this crash report to Apple, I said yes. So, crash reports are now automatically being sent. You can see evidence of this in the %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs directory.

  • Iphone 5 touchscreen issue with iOS 7 update

    I downloaded the upgrade the day it came out and there were no issues for the first few days. Then about a week later my touchscreen started wigging out. I would not even touch the screen and letters no where near where my finger was would start being typed into the box. I could not select anything on the screen cause it would scroll and select other things, and I was having issues with closing out the apps.
    I am averaging 3-5 hard reboots a day and the soft reboots don't seem to have any effect on it.
    When I do the hard reboots, it will work for just a few min and then do the same as before.
    I restored the phone back to factory settings and redownloaded the phone and I didnt think that I was going to get the password in for the apple ID cause it was doing the same as before. No dropping or wetting of the phone has occurred. I was also able to update to the 7.0.2 and this did nothing.
    Anyone have any suggestions or having the same problems?

    I have these issues, on both my iphone 5 and ipad using ios7.0.2 (and all apps have been updated also. I am actually amazed that this forum is not full of complaints about this, such are the number of issues and regularity of their occurrence! I have spoken to friends who also experience freezing, crashing and an erratic touchscreen since updating to ios 7.
    The issues (on both iphone 5 and ipad) can be summarised as follows: 1- touchscreen behaves erratically, keyboard use and scrolling in pages no longer as easy as before. 2- apps crash, regularly, particularly mail and calendar. I have linked both mail and calendar to office 365 and wonder if this is anything to do with it?  Have to close and restart the app in order to resolve. 3- the whole os crashes & freezes requiring a hard reboot.
    I wish I could reinstall the previous os!

  • 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 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

    Ok here is my findings:
    Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
    Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
    I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
    I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
    Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
    I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

    I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
    Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
    1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
    2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
    3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
    (note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
    It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
    You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well.  Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
    Good luck.

  • IPhone 4S - Syncing issues with a Mac

    I've tried almost everything! I have the latest versions of Itunes, iOS7, and running OS x 10.9. I cant sync music between my iPhone 4S and my Mac or my wife's iPhone4 and the Mac. Very frustrating, I don't manually manage music I sync my playlists and videos. I've tried to restore and restart both phones but nothing! When I purchase music now, I have to wait until it downloads and then create or modify a playlist on the phone itself, I can't even get purchases to transfer, if i make them on the Mac. It began after I performed the latest iOS7 update. Help please!!!

    Thanks @Awol1404 I do have a lot of songs with just a circle of dots on the device through Itunes, some of these songs come up on the device itself as greyed out with a (stop download icon (circle with square in the middle)) i've tried to remove all the songs my unchecking the sync music box and checking the manually mangage box. I press sync or apply and itunes does its thing. On Itunes the device then comes up as having 2 playlists (one voice memos and 1 random playlist from what i had) and thats it. I can reboot the computer and when i plug it back in it still says that that is what is on the phone. on the phone itself, there has been no changes except maybe the odd song greyed out. Very confusing, frustrating and well... frustrating!!!!
    I have no issues with iCloud syncing, contacts and messages, emails, calendars are all working how they should.

  • Find my iPhone suggestion and issue with find my mac.

    i dont know if this has ever been brought up but this is a very serious and good point. Find my iphone which is under icloud can be toggled on and off as easy as a tap. So what if i lost my phone and didn't have passcode lock on. if someone wanted to steal it they could go to icloud and turn off find my iphone then ill never find it again. Doesn't anyone else think to turn it on/off it should be password or pin protected. I mean if i have to turn off passcode lock with a pin it should be the same for my find my iphone and the same with my computer.
    which leads me to my issue with my mac. Every time i go into my settings i find that find my mac is some how unchecked even after i already checked it. does anyone else have this issue? whats the point of the feature if it doesn't even stay on?

    Even if it was, nothing would prevent the thief from forcing the phone into recovery mode and restoring it as a new device, which erases that phone and all settings, including iCloud and Find My iPhone.
    Don't know why your Mac keeps unchecking this setting though...

  • 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?

    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..

  • Bluetooth iPhone 6 Plus issues with MacBook Pro

    Most recently, started having issues with my iPhone 6 plus maintaining connection to my MacBook Pro 15in.   Noticed this strictly through using iMessage, as I use it to text a lot.
    Steps taken so far:
    Verified other bluetooth devices (Keyboards, Mice) working fine. 
    Rebooted both iPhone and MBP.
    "Reset" the bluetooth connection by removing it both on the MBP and iPhone, then re-paried the devices.
    The pairing function will work then suddenly it will display "not connected".   I additionally have verified the iPhone can connect to other bluetooth devices fine.  (Car, Keyboard).  So I definitely can say it is isolated to iPhone--MacBookPro.
    The fact there was no major updates on any side has me concerned, just suddenly "stopped working". 
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    You know what, you are right.   Not sure why I thought that.  Now the question is why my SMS is not working with iMessage.   Back to the drawing board!
