Hello all
Recently picked up a LG Optimus 2X - everything seems to be ok with it, however the 'rear camera / flash' doesn't work ?
Choose the camera settings from the menu, the camera app opens up, but the screen is black, won't pick any image up whats so ever ?
Choose the 'front facing' camera and that works ok as it should
I installed a flashlight app, to check the flash led and again the led won't light up ?
Anyone come across this before and what other checks / remedies can I carry out to possibly get it working?
Moreso whats the possible cause of it not working in the 1st place ?
There is the orginal latest stock rom on it V20L - GB 2.3.4 - unrooted
Carried out a few data / wipe settings to see if that cured,but didn't.
Thanks for reading.

try a factory reset....it should work.
or try to update with a LG update tool
Did that twice - recovery mode - reset / wipe data / clear caches / dalvik
Rebooted - same issue - rear camera blacked screen - no picture / front camera works !
Both camera lenses are free from dirt and blockage etc !
Sometimes the camera app freezes and force closes - suggesting it could be a software prob ?
Other Google Play camera apps have been tried with the same results.
The phone isn't rooted by the way now.
I did root and install two different versions of 'cm 7 and 9' roms with the updated 'camera' patch stock files that had been created for better results.
Same issues again, if there was a camera app or patch that I found that was for the rom I was using I used it.
However unrooted, fresh install of the original factory rom.
Used the LG updater windows program to see if there was an update, the program said the phone had the latest version - V20L - GB 2.3.4
Since you RECENTLY picked it up, I assume you have warranty.
If yea, just return it to the dealers.
If you want, you can try using custom ROM, but REMEMBER YOU MESS UP YOUR WARRANTY ONCE YOU ROOT THE PHONE so until you can be sure you can reverse it, just take the easy path and return it.
As I already mentioned in my last response yesterday, I have already tried 2 custom rom installations.
The CM 7 and the CM9 custom roms !!
The outcome when turning on the camera was exactly the same - black screen !!
Thus / thereafter reverting BACK to the original stock rom installation with NO root - for it to do exactly the same !!
i have the same problem, i even changed the back camera module with a new one from alibaba and it didnt help.i wonder could it be the main PCB card.
any ideas?
I think that the PCB is damaged if you even tryed different Roms I don't think that it is an software issue then. I will search a bit

I recently updated my Galaxy S to v2.2 (JPH firmware) using Kies. I also rooted my phone using the relevant file and applied One-Click Lagfix V2.2.
I was very happy with it, except I tried using my device's main camera today and it doesn't work properly any more. Prior to the FW update, it worked just fine.
Now, each time I take a picture, the camera app appears to be working -- I can focus and so forth -- but once I press the shutter button, it seems to be processing and then I get a broken picture icon in the middle of the screen.
Unlike others in this forum, I don't get a "camera failed" message at all, just the broken icon.
I've read various posts on different forums as well as this one and have tried the following:
uninstalled OCLF,
switching from SD card to phone memory
re-flashing camera firmware
I'm not absolutely certain but I don't think it's the Camera apk because I tried taking a shot with the front camera and it works fine.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, what steps did you take to solve your problem?
i have the same problem as u too. and i am trying to find a way to fix it
here's mine problem
used to work with
CAMERA FIRMWARE INFO:
SESBDI07: OQLBDI13: NONE
but only the devil knows why I did this
- Camera FW update :
* *#34971539#
* Select "Phone to CAM FW Write" and "YES"
* Waiting for "firmware update success.

and I got this
SESBDI07; SESBDI07; NONE (after update with XWJS7)
and finally my camera doesn't work @ all
any help appreciated

My camera bad yet.and update faild. why?
So my camera force close every time I try to use it..
So far I've tried different roms... like miui, cm7(used cm roms for a while), I've tried pure something roms, blandroid.. camera never worked.. tried one or two kernels too to no avail..
So I've reflashed everything to stock.. I mean STOCK lol.. still force closing..
anything else I might not know to try? Or I can assume it's an hardware issue?
I guess the reps at mobile store will throw a fit once they see the unlocked padlock lol if I ask for some help..
mmm.. i am having the same prob here....
i thought it is because of the ROM...mmm. i have changed to basically All the latest ROMs....failed to make the camera working.
MAYBE it is a hardware issue. My N1 fell from my bed. few times. Im not so sure it was before or after.
FOUND the solution to Camera Not working Nexus One.
You have to go back to Stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870&highlight=frf91
1. Go back to Stock RoM
2. Then flash back to your FAV ROM - Mine is Miui AU..
not really the solution....
after 24 hours of working hard..
i failed!
Camera WORKING - when using stock ROM
Camera NOT working - when rooted and custom ROM.
What should i do ?
sadly I've already tried going back to stock.. did not work.. got some suggestions on another forum to try an clear the thumbnails and camera cache..
The Camera cache is stored under sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media...
Thumbnails are under sdcard/DCIM/thumbnails...
I had this issue within a month of upgrading to 2.2.3 on a stock Nexus One, and the fix for me was to re-format my SD card. I copied everything off to a PC, formatted and copied everything back and now the camera is working as intended. Hope this helps!

i tried already....not working...
i changed the Card, it works..!!
and it does nt again...
What radio you on? Try radio 5.0.8 if you're not already on it
Same problem here after flashing CM7 kernel on stock ROM. Did you fix it? Please help.
Did someone solve this problem? I have the same since yesterday (?!?) when i made the 2.3.4 update....
Maybe this problem is older in my n1, but i cant exactly say. I tried starting the camera app when sd-card is unmounted -> no effect, force close....
Actually... had a friend have the same issue. Though... it may or may not be the same as your issue. Brought it to an after service center near us and they cracked it open. They said there was a cable loose inside going to the board with the camera on it that was causing the issue. They put it back together and it has been working fine ever since. I am not exactly sure how a cable was loose inside where it shouldn't ever be moving... but it definitely fixed the problem. Hopefully you guys don't have the same problem.
Prior to going to the service center I backed up and flashed back to stock. Still had the same problem... though I seem to remember the message being odd when trying to use the camera. Was a while back so... >_< sorry.
Hm, i got this error in logcat:
V/CameraHolder( 1122): open camera 0
E/mm-camera( 75): main: MSM_CAM_IOCTL_REGISTER_PMEM ioctl failed for MSM_PMEM_AF type. ioctl return value is -1
E/mm-camera( 75): isp3a_init_ctrl failed

Does someone can give me hints?
Ok, i get interesting information within my tests:
camera is ok! works with CM7 and this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
But why not with my stock ROM?
I updated hboot/radio for a test -> No camera
Changed kernel (CM-Kernel, etc.) -> No camera
What else is the problem? I actually love my system and when i flash stock GRJ22 over it, camera works, but alle sd-apps are not avaiable and the memory ist nearly full.
Hi there,
the proximity sensor on my i9000 isn´t working anymore. Everytime I place a call/get called the screen turns black and freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart it.
Testing the sensor on the LCD-test the screen turned green and the i9000 startet vibrating. Here, too only pulling the battery made it stop.
Here is what I tried so far:
- flashing different stock fw (Android 2.2 / 2.3.x)
- applied handicapped settings
- Using Proximity_Screen_Off App and Sanity-App on stock fw
- blowing air into the USB jack/vacuuming the jack
- opened the device to mechanically clean the sensor
All of the above failed!
The only way I can get it to work is when running android 2.3.7 Joker´s MiUi and run the Proximity_Screen_Off App.
Are there any other suggestions as to what can be tried?
Else I will have to get a new motherboard, because wouldn´t want to be restricted to using only one particular rom.
Any input is greatly appreciated
Thanks Christine
if i recall good (but kill me ive drinked some atm) the greensih issue was showing with voodoo color kernels and all the sensor peoblems came with badly assembled kernel.
so i would advice you to reflash pure 3 file firmware (repartition pit and all that jazz)
and if your sensors still would not work just reflash to your carrier or stock formware for your region and push it to repair center with proper dwscription (do no mentions miui or other crap)
Thanks for answering!
I flashed 3-part firmware, pretty much everything available and a CF-Root kernel.
So it couldn´t have been a bad kernel.
Can´t take it back to service, no warranty left.
I just flashed 2.3.5 and CF-Root and now I am fooling around with it some more.
I just think it´s weird that it would work with that and only that MiUi.
impossible unless youve got some other galaxy variaant than i9000
I just notice my from camera is not working properly, the image looks almost cartoonish colors are weird and I notice this after I flashed another rom in my phone. My front camera works great by the way. I had a branded (Telcel) rom and now I got the Spain V20S Is there a way to fix this? Has anyone encounter this problem as well?
Maybe you accidently chose the option to use cartoon mode? If not, go to setting --> apps --> look for camera app (it's under all applications), hit it, delete cache and data and it should work fine again.
I tried what you said but nothing. I also went back to my stock roms v10a and v20a but nothing. I guess its broken or something like that.
Tried a factory reset already? System --> Privacy --> Factory data reset
If this also doesnt work... You definitly got a problem...
Hey guys,
So basically my camera stop working. Two days back update the phone to the latest firmware (Android 9) and security patch (March 1). Installed TWRP and rooted with magisk. So far everything was working fine. Today needed to restart the phone and after the restart my camera disappeared. In camera app I get just black screen without error. Same thing happen with third party app. Trying in safe mode, same results. In an app
iDevcheck under camera tab there is nothing, no information at all.
Ideas?
Bump,

If it was me, I would flash stock filmware with Odin to see if it resolves the issue, if it does not, it is probably a hardware issue, in my opinion, or maybe the camera ribbon cable has disconnected somehow.
''Can't turn on flashlight because the light is being used by another app''
This is what I discovered today. Still kinda think it's a software issue. At the moment don't have the chance to flash stock firmware.

Factory reset?
Factory reset did not helped either.
I guess something went wrong during the rooting process.
