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
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
I upgraded the Xperia Z to 4.2.2 OTA (rooted and dualrecovery installed)a couple of days ago. Everything is fine with the exception of one thing. During a call, the phone doesn't display the numbers that are being pressed, for example, when I dial into a conf line, to enter the conf code I cant see what numbers are being pressed. Does anyone else have the same issue or is it just me. I dont want to reset the whole phone only to discover that its an issue with the actual firmware.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers

PS: this is first thread that i started on XDA YAY!
Backup your files and
repair it with Sony PC Companion, or Sony Update Service or flash another FTF file. (wipe everything) Do a clean install.
Hello all, I have recently bought a brand new sony xperia z . I've unlocked it and installed PAC ROM. Then I've put it under water for 5 minutes, after a reboot, the phone didn't turn on. I tried flashing a stock ftf file but it didn't work. I took it to the repair center, there was a hardware issue. After it got repaired, I installed once again PAC ROM. I noticed that I could only open the camera app once because if I open it once again, the phone would reboot. I thought it could the ROM's bug so I reverted to stock but I couldn't even use it for once: once I open the camera app in stock rom, it would directly reboot.
I am afraid that there's a hardware issue, though I am not sure if it's because of the ROM or unlocking the phone because I didn't try the camera app before bricking the phone.
Any Ideas or help?
Can anyone please help me with this issue?
hello xda members.. i had bought an xperia z1 last october. wonderful phone and still i hadnot found z3 not worth upgrading!
anyway coming to the point,i had rooted it 4 months ago and using titanium backup..no problem there.... but a couple of days ago i had unlocked BL(backed up TA partition many times in these 4 months)using official method,installed boot.img of cyanogenmod 11 snapshot 10 and then flashed it.There was a strange problem! my old photos were not showing in photo explorer of CM,no vdos also showing in MX player even i had photos and vdos on both mem card and phone memory! everything was fine except those. I had used SD KITKAT FIX as well. Well,after 24 hours i was missing xperia UI and so i again rec=locked BL using Flashtool,then restored dry run of TA...ok everything..restored TA then....AFTER THAT I had flashed stock ftf of KITKAT 4.4.4 which I had made from official update process through sony PC companion.
Now I has rooted, restored all apps using old backups of Titanium Backup (app+data). The strange problem of not showing anything in album or Mxplayer still persists! And one thing also,that after a reboot my Xperia Home launcher is lostand xperia simple is applied automatically! I always have to restore it with Titanium Backup, which is really annoying me. Is there any solution for this problem?! sometimes xperia chinese keyboard or google voice type is activated instead of Swiftkey which i use! and i noticed that "Xperia wallpaper,Xperia camera add ons,Xperia social share....etc are also uninstalled automatically! i always reinstall them.. but again these got uninstalled if i Reboot!"
Sorry for such large query but hope anyone solve my problem! I had restored "app only" too but same problem persists!
wHAT SHOULD I DO??????????????????????????????????
tHANKING YOU,
