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.

  • Front camera not working

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as myself in regards to the front camera not working. All I seem to get is a black screen! I'm not sure if I need to activate it somehow or it's just not working? Thanks Ross

    UPDATE:  After the intial Factory Data Reset, the camera work fine for one day.  Now it's back to the same blank screen in the front camera.  Also now my video camera isn't working either.  I get an error msg "Recording in progress in another app. Cannot record".  I know some folks were having issues with the "OK Google" app.  I checked mine and all is unchecked.   Spent most of the day talking with Sony and Verizon and neither was able to help me other than Verizon offered a refurbed phone.  No thank you, my phone is new.  **bleep** Sony?  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

    basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have these been attempted?
    If you've tried ALL these steps, including setting up as a new device (not from backup), and you still have problems, then you have a hardware failure and will need to bring your phone into Apple for replacement.

  • IPhone 4s back camera not working even after buying new iphone 4s

    Back when the ios 6 updates were coming out  in 2013 my iPhone 4 back camera stopped working, after trying way too many ways to reset the phone  and  finding others with this same issue I decided to start over I bought a new iPhone 4s so this one was better and 32gb instead of 16gb and it was 9 days later the back camera stopped working on my NEW iphone and still doesn't work to this day? What on earth should I do? How can this be fixed? I've tried hard reset, backing up the new phone, all the tricks I've tried on both phones do not work!!

    A new phone has a warranty.  So take it to an Apple store.  If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone.  Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

  • HT201406 Ipod touch 5th generation front camera not working?

    Ive had my ipod for at least 3-4 months now, and just today my front camera stopped working! I go to my camera app, (the built in one) and it defaults to the back camera. when I tap the little switch icon, I get a blurry, and sometimes black, screen. as if the shutter isnt opening. I have updated the ios software and shut down the ipod multiple times. I really dont want to reset the ipod because it will delete my apps.

  • FW CS6 Align tool not working properly with lines of text

    Much to my surprise the align tool is not aligning properly with text and I'm not sure what the issue is. My snap to grid distance is set at 1 in preferences.
    Task: Left-align several vertically-stacked lines of type using the alignment tool. All lines have text-align: left.
    Result: Some of lines of type display 1px off from each other. Using the right-align tool yields the same issue.
    Oddly enough shapes align pixel-perfect.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I'm not certain of this, but I believe the Align panel aligns the text runs as opposed to the text boxes themselves. This should be a good thing, as it's usually the text that needs to be aligned, not the invisible boxes containing the text.
    Could that be what's happening?

  • Ipad mini Retina (iOS 7.1.1) front camera not working

    I had just noticed that my front facing camera doesn't work on my iPad mini retina. Both it and my iPhone 5S are running the latest of iOS. My iPhone works but not my ipad. Anybody run into the same issue. About to go down to the apple store and get it figured out. Already did a refresh on the ipad, refresh from backup. Help?

    Hi Chrisrd77,
    If the camera on your iPad is not functioning correctly I would suggest following the steps in this article relating to the camera. Note that the article is primarily about iPhones but the camera troubleshooting steps are the same for the iPad -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Specifically -
    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.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • Why does my iPod 4g front camera not work?

    I have an iPod 4g for over a year now. The front camera no longer works. Whenever I click the button to switch it to the front camera, the last image from the rear camera just freezes. I have tried restarting my iPod and even resetting it. It still doesn't work. I don't have the warranty on it anymore either. Please help! Also, if there is no solution to this, can I go to an Apple store and get it fixed? Do I have to go to an Apple store only? How much would it cost to get fixed? Thank you.

  • NEW iPhone 5S back camera not working? Rattling noise heard when phone is shaken?

    I just got a gold iPhone 5s today as a free upgrade to my white iPhone 4. I did the iCloud transfer thingy, but deleted the pictures after transferring everything. I didn't check this before the transfer, but the back camera doesn't work in snapchat and the camera app. I tried switching to the front camera in the camera app and it worked. However, the rear camera STILL doesn't work. The only thing is a black screen. I tried pressing the camera button to take a picture... nothing. I even restarted the phone (by holding the home and power buttons) I tried shaking the phone and pressing in the camera. When I shake it, all I hear is something small moving near the top of the phone. What should I do????

    Take it back.
