Passport (AT&T version) - Dust under front facing camera

I have had my AT&T Passport for just over a month now and absolutely love it.  However, my front facing camera has a considerable amount of dust underneath the glass.
Is there a way that I can clean this myself?
If not, what do I need to do?
Thank you,
Tyler

  • Dust under front facing camera Z10

    Hello, i was wondering if anyone has had this problem. I got my phone 2 days ago and just now i noticed a lot of dust under the front facing camera. I keep it in my pocket but i don't think they are that dirty because it has never happened to me with any other phone. Has anyone had this problem?

    Sure, your mobile provider if that's where you purchased it.
    Having it for two days, dust in it, that's a warranty issue. Replace it.

  • The shutter on my iPad front facing camera won't open.  My husband and I are in Ireland and I can't take pictures.  Can anyone help?  It is the latest iPad version and I am updated with version 6.1.3.

    My husband and I are traveling through Ireland and my iPad front facing camera won't work!  The shutter won't open.  I have shut all programs that might take up memory, I have totally rebooted and I have tried restarting everything.  Any advice to help me take amazing pics while on our vacation?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Why does my screen keep flashing white when I use my front facing camera?

    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. Whenever I use my front facing camera, the footage I take shows a white flash on the screen every second or so. It looks almost like the glare that you get from looking straight into a flashlight. This doesn't happen every time time I film, and when it does, it can easily be solved by stopping and restarting again, but it's still annoying.

    This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

  • Bionic. post-ICS update. front facing camera pixelated/artifacts

    Hello,
    After I updated to ICS, the front facing camera began showing weird pixelation/lines.  this did not happen before the update.
    I reset my phone to factory settings and the camera till showed the following lines.
    any ideas?  Verizon, please help!

        Hi RIJAH,
    Yikes! I know how important it is to have a working camera on your device. Thank you for completing the Master Reset on your device. Do you have any third party camera applications downloaded on your device? If so, please remove them. If there are no third party apps and your camera is still not working after the reset, we would need to replace the device. Is your phone still under the warranty?

  • Still no fix for Thunderbolt front facing camera?

    I have tried all the online known fixes for this issue , clearing data, restarting phone, removing all other camera applications, and still cannot get my front facing camera to work on my Thunderbolt. As soon as I select the front facing camera, the application closes-without any error message-and brings me to the home screen. What is going on? I was able to use it this Spring, and then all of a sudden I can't use it anymore. Please help.

    This has to be an VZW OTA error or something, because my Moto Droid and my kid's HTC Droid's front-facing camera stopped working almost simultaneously.  Very suspicious that would happen under any circumstances.
    Before you do a hard reset, try this:
    Pull the SD card and your camera should start to work again. 
    After that, you can put the SD card back in, and it should still be working.

  • Front Facing Camera Refuses To Work Since Upgrade To Ios7

    Since I have upgraded to ios 7, for what ever reason my front facing camera will not work. Regardless of this been tried on the camera App or Facetime. When I switch to it, it just blurs the screen and hangs. Nothing else happens. Is anyone else having this same problem since upgrading? And if so has anyone got a solution to this?
    Many Thanks
    Luke.

    hello all,
    I can confirm the same behaviour with an iPhone 4S, white, 64GB. We own 3 iPhone 4S in our family. 2 of them work flawlessly after the update to iOS7. The only visible difference is the white colour. With the white iPhone 4S we cannot use the front camera any longer. The camera app freezes, switch back to the rear side camera only works, after removing the camera app from the multitasking pane. Reinstalling with iTunes or via DFU mode or via settings-general-reset-contents&settings didn't help. A staff member of an Apple retail shop tried again, but again without success. We both agreed that it must be a software issue. All apps using the front camera (Facetime, Tango, Skype Camera+ etc.) do not work.
    The front camera worked well before upgrading to iOS 7.
    But 2 other iPhone 4S working without a problem even with the identical iOS 7 leads me to the question if Apple used different camera modells or even different suppliers for the front camera for production of the iPhone 4S. My only  explanation from an engineering point of view is that there were different cameras used in production and one of it now has a problem to connect correctly to the iOS 7, which indicates in this case a driver problem.
    2 possible solutions:
    wait until Apple releases a new version of the iOS which hopefully also covers this problem.
    let the front camera replace in a repair shop which will cost between 49 and 69 EUR (this morning I have investigated into some Internet shops offering this service)
    Cheers, Claus

  • Helix front facing camera problems.

    I recieved my frist batch of Helix's last week.  We ordered 7
    Out of the 7, 2 have bad front facing camera's.  I noticed that Lenovo has a new camera driver as part of the Lenovo system update utility.  This driver update doesn't correct the issue. 
    My vendor is swaping me out with new units but I wanted to post this.
    When you get your helix check the front facing camera.  
    Maybe I'm just unlucky with 2 bad out of 7 or maybe Lenovo has a quality control issue?

    @dkNigs and mrlakeside,
    This grey picture with the Crossed Camera is the privacy mode of the "Lenovo Settings App". You have to deactivate it in the Settings App under the "Camera" tab.

  • Has anyone else had trouble with there front facing camera on Ipad with Retina display since last update?

    Since the most recent update for IOS 7.1.1 my front facing camera has not been working and the tech people say it is a hardware issue.  Anyone else out there have the same issue?

    At this point you probably think the errors are SyncPX's fault. 
    And you would be right.
    I started by taking the fault up with SyncPX's developer, Qdea.  One other user had noted a fault similar to (2).  Qdea maintain that there's nothing wrong with their code, and blame Apple's disc drivers.
    What steps can I take to pin this down further?  All advice and comments will be gratefully received..
    Dump Qdea for someone who knows how to write Mac software.
    1. Qdea displays the following logo: . This is a pre-MacOS X logo.
    2. Qdea displays the following review:
    MacFixit had a good reputation, if you are old enough to remember when it used to exist.
    3. Qdea provides download links to SynchronizeX and version in French, German, and Japanese. Apparently they don't know that Mac software can be localized into a single executable.
    I'm sure there are any number of similar utilities available, all of them cheaper than SynchronizeX's $99.99 price.

  • IPod Touch 5th generation front-facing camera has stopped working

    After updating to ios 7, my front-facing camera has stopped working on my ipod touch 5th generation. I have tried doing a full restore to factory settings, resetting data settings, turning it on and off, and all the basic things. Here are a few pictures:
    This is with the rear-facing camera, it works just fine.
    Now this is the front-facing camera:
    When i try to use the front-facing camera, the screen goes like this and the camera app freezes, i can't switch back to read camera or anything. Other applications like snapchat don't have a button to switch the camera.
    It's like the camera app is detecting that the version of ipod has a camera, but it can't seem to find it. Btw, i live in Australia and am an apple developer.
    I like srsly need to get my front camera working. Thanks
    I am also using iOS 7.1 beta.

    Likely a hardware problem as other has experienced the same problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iphone 4s front facing camera won't work. How do I fix it?

    My iphone 4s's front facing camer freezes like it's about to work but I don't know how to make it work. It just stays frozen.

    Hi Avir,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the issue you are having with your camera.  
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • My front facing camera is not working. How can I get it to work again?

    My back camera works just fine but when I switch it over to the front facing camera it just freezes and never switches then takes awhile to switch back over. It first started in the Snapchat App but now my actual camera App is doing it.

    Hi Evie ray,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Some good first things to try are forcing any camera-using apps to close, and then restarting and resetting:

  • How secure is the front facing camera?

    Is there a way to tell if the front facing camera is on? Since iOS supports multi-tasking. From the security side, is it safe to assume the front camera is always on, unless a tape is covering it?
    thanks

    When not using the Camera app, it is not on or running in the background. The Camera app is quit when leaving the app just as it was quit with leaving the app prior to iOS4. Just because an app is in the fast app switching and recently used apps bar or dock does not mean the app is running in the background. Very few apps will run in the background when leaving the app such as a music streaming app and a GPS navigation app. Some 3rd party apps will be placed in a suspended state when leaving the app such as with a game. An app in a suspended state is open but not running in the background - it is suspended or frozen not using any processor cycles or battery. Nothing has changed with the Camera app in this regard with iOS4.
