I have a motorola MB860 phone and after a repair both frontal and back cameras don't work.
When I touch the camera button the camera app opens but the screen is black. If I touch the shutter button it looks like the picture is taken, but it doesn't save the picture. The flash doesn't work. And frontal camera is the same thing. Only a black screen. The camera app doesn't force close or anything. It opens normally, but cameras don't work.
I tried updating the software of the phone and still the same issue with both cameras.
Do you know if it is a hardware problem? Speakers, microphone, and volume keys work fine. I know they are connected to the flex cable of the front and back camera. So what does that mean?
I just need to know if I need to change the parts or maybe there is something else I can try to fix it. And what are the symptoms of a camera that doesn't work? Should the camera app force close or should it do what I mentioned before? Show a black screen?
Thank you

Thank you for pointing me to that. Is there a way to move the post to that forum? Or I need to create the post again in that forum?

Title pretty much says it all. I went from the Titan on Sprint to Kaiser on At&T, and I hate the camera app. It's slow; unresponsive; takes shaky photos; and has no option (that I can seem to find) to turn off the sound effects.
Has anyone been able to get a different camera front end on the Kaiser? I would prefer a spin from something like the Titan; but really anything that fixes the above problems is good with me.
Thanks all!

Tried it on my Sprint HTC mogul, and it an caused error. I can open program and snap a picture... but it gives me the error of frame... so it can't save or open picture. I had HTC album as well.
I had to do hard reset to get my original camera back.
Hi guys,
I am really disappointed of the camera of the XZ, because since I've tried to shoot some photos, it simply can't focus on anything. The camera behaves kind of strange, when I try to focus and shoot the photo. It makes only really smooth pictures which are very blurred. I suppose that this isn't any normal. So I wanted to ask here, if anyone in here does have the same issue and solved it somehow, or if there is someone who can tell me if it's software problem or a hardware problem. If you'd like to I can add a picture to prove it.
Thanks in advance!
You should get the phone checked out bit before you do check you are on superior auto and if it can't focus on anything tap the image to focus on a certain part like a face. See if that helps. Thank me if I have helped

Tell us your settings I.e. mode, focus mode, IS, ISO
problem still persists
I know about the tapping on the screen to focus, but that simply doesn't help.

I am using the auto mode. My friend uses the same settings as I do and his camera is working a lot better its sharper and clearier.
Couldn't it be an hardware issue?
Later on I will add my settings.

Take it back to the store you got it from to replace it because the device is faulty if your friends xperia z camera works with the exact same settings.

Hello ,
Just bought 3 days ago my xperia Z and yesterday i realised that the front camera isnt working at all. when i press the front camera button its says "unfortunately camera has stopped " and returns to home menu. other times there isnt a front camera button to press at all! and from the camera options i dont have "front camera , front video" choice. When i run diagnostics for the front camera its total black and i cant press the button for the test.
i guess its a hardware issue? Has anyone had a similar problem? I am on 4.2.2 and 10.3.A.0.423

Perform a repair using SUS to rule out any software issues. If the problem persists, then it is most likely a hardware issue.
Backup your SD Card & other data prior to using SUS because it will erase all data on the phone.

I would suggest you download a different app to take pictures and see if works with the front camera
I suggest maybe Camera MX
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magix.camera_mx
if it doesn't work then its hardware and best suggestion is to take it back for a replacement
If it does work then its a software issue, possibly a small bug with the sony camera app
I had something similar and had it reflashed with the original firmware directly from sony by a Guru/Tech guy at the store I got my phone.
Let me know if that helps ok.

I'd recommend that you contact Sony support instead of trying to do something on your own, which might just end up worsening your problem.

Sounds like a hardware issue especially since the front camera did not work with a different app. take your phone back and exchange for new one before that option disappears.

I've noticed the front facing cam takes terrible photos in low light, even with snapchat flooding the screen with white to take a photo. However, using the front flash in the Camera app producing excellent results. How do I make snapchat use the physical front flash?

Ok well 1. I don't even see that option, and 2. I think that would toggle the "flash" that just lights up the screen since most phones don't have a physical front LED flash like this phone does. I want to use the actual flash.

As if Snapchat would listen to their Android users thanks for your help though!
It's probably not ideal and I dont know if it will stay on if you switch apps or turn off camera, but if you open stock camera app then switch to front facing click the flash icon, you can select torch and it stays on continuously. Don't know if that may work, and if it does it's a sloppy solution...

Thanks for the idea but the flash is switched off when I leave the camera app.
same problem
i have huawei y5 ii and my flash does not work too on snapchat does anyone know how to turn it on ?
Snapchat Beta Had the feature for a bit in 2019
They had implemented the front facing flash feature in the Beta but they seem to have removed it again... i liked having that feature...?
Hello, selfie cam wont pop up, theres a motor sound and that light on selfie cam is working but it just seem like its stuck there. I've tried motor app, changing rom but still. Is there any solution beside taking it to reparation store?
How did you use the motor app? I ask you because the first time I try to use it I used it bad ?
You have to set cam out from the 3dots menu in the top right and then press takeback
---------------------------
I also have motor issues sometimes, but changing camera from front to back and from back to front in camera app like GCam or ANXCamera fixes it.

Yes i did it that way and still nothing, guess ill need to send it to repair
It happened to my phone once. When I tried to use it there was a weird noise and the camera didn't open. I reinstalled the stock rom, tried a bunch of other fixes and it didn't change anything. I looked at it really closely and noticed that there was some grime where the popup camera is.
I fixed it by putting a drop of water on it. It was enough to make it pop back up again and then I cleaned it properly so that it didn't happen again.
