IPhone 5 camera not working after iOS7.2

after updating my phone to the 2nd iOS7, a week or so later my camera has completely stopped working. After looking all over these discussion pages I've tried EVERYTHING except erasing the phone & restoring it. other than that, NOHTING has worked!!! I've read where this is a "hardware" issue? I don't know for sure. My flashlight is also not working at all!! I want to take it to the iPhone store, but my screen has 2 small cracks at the top. taking it "out of warranty" so I have read. and that it will be aroud $230 for a new one, cheaper than what I have paid, YES! but... is that a set price?? or do they have certain prices for certain damages? I just need some answers!!!!

I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

  • IPhone 4 3G not working after ios7 update?

    My 3G isn't working for my iPhone 4.  No app access, no iphone to iphone text....

        Oh no, ryanc925.
    I regret that there are problems with your iPhone 4 since iOS 7. I'm sure you may have already tried to power it off/on, but I also want you to check some additional settings. What happens when you try to dial *228? Do you get an error message/recording?
    Ensure airplane mode is disabled and then go to
    Settings>Cellualar>Roaming>Voice and Data Roaming> Enable.
    Please let me know how these steps work out for you.

  • Web camera not working after sowtware update

    HI, there
    My macbook's  (core duo)camera not working after installing show leopard, can you advice if I need some other updates or anything to make it work?

        Hi purduejatt,  I apologize for the delayed response as I understand how important it is to have a working camera!  I would suggest clearing the data in the Camera application.  Press Menu>Settings>Application Manager>All>Camera>Clear data.  Please keep me updated on the status as I would be more than happy to provide additional support.

  • Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update

    Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update?

    Did you always have the same problem or is it new? I always used to be able to get Facebook to work on wifi with no issues for months. I downloaded the new software update for Revolution, and all of a sudden it seems like they blocked the Facebook app somehow unless you're on 4G. It really sux because I can't get into my Zynga games either that are tied to FB! Wish someone at Verizon could be aware of this and fix the problem.
    Also, interestingly, when I try to log into the Facebook site with the browser I am directed to an error page. The browser works fine for every other site though. Really seems like there was some kind of block instated that will no longer let you use Facebook on a wifi connection. 

  • Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

    Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

    You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
    If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

  • Camera on ipad2 not working after ios7 update?

    Camera not working on ipad2 after ios7 update?

    AApple takes no responsibility for their updates causing harm to devices. See section 7.4 through 7.6
    i see a lot of denial on this site when it comes to viruses, the same applies to apple updates messing up folks devices. Take it back to an apple store and it is likely the best you can hope for is a discount on a new ipad.  Good luck.  Hopefully someone here can help you with a fix.

  • Isight camera not working after the last update

    just to give you a recap of what i've tried so far:
    * restarting (obviously)
    * resetting PRAM/SMC (by booting it the way it was specified in the isight troubleshooting thing)
    * just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
    any Help pls
    because i mast to use it as soon as possible in a conference

    *A few suggestions.........*
    Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
    my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat
    To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • My iphone 4 is not working after resetting

    My iphone is not working after resettong, it just let me do emergency calls.
    and if i turn it on it saids to connect USB to itunes.

    If you reset to factory that is expected behavior.  You need to connect to iTunes to bring it into the Apple World.  You should then be able to connect to the network of your cell provider.
