I recently installed SlimLP onto my M9. For some reason, both of my cameras and
my flashlight do not work. I tried third party apps, and none work. Oh yeah, and when I open the camera app it says that it can't connect to the camera. Is there anyway to fix it?

Slim is based off of cm12.1 and camera support (and subsequently flash) is still being worked on. I'm sure you will know when camera is finally fixed as many of us will be celebrating. Check cm12.1 periodically for updates and keep your fingers crossed.

Today I was taking photos which worked fine. When I went to ZOE mode, it seemed like the shutter button was being ignored and the focus was changed to behind where the camera icon was. Zoe photos were not taken. I tried video mode, but that crashed the camera app after about 6seconds. I stopped the camera app manually several times, and just now have done a factory reset on the HTC One. Working again, but its a real pain if this happens again in the future. Has anyone heard of this issue?

Were you running any special roms with camera tweaks? I had that happen a few weeks ago with an older trickdroid rom but then I upgraded to the latest and it was fixed...
Stock std release Rom for Canadian Rogers HTC one.
hmm.. I guess not
Hey guys,
Recently I had opened up my phone to replace a cracked screen. The screen and all other functions work properly but the rear camera seems to be giving an error message, stating, "camera not available".
I tried resetting the phone but this problem did not get solved. The front camera used to work before the reset but now even that is gone.
I even downloaded a third party app but back camera still not working( front camera is available in third party app.
What could have gone wrong. Could this have screwed up the software, if so what should I do to repair it?
Or have I possibly not connected the camera properly? Or have I totally damaged it some how?
Please help

Hi mate,
it could be a problem either with the hardware or with software. "camera not available" sounds like you didn´t connect the camera properly and the software could not find it.
Check it, if the camera is really connected.
Otherwise I personally think, it was not the best idea to reset the phone - a normal reboot should be enough.
As you tried a third party app, and the front camera worked, it must be a software problem. What I would do:
1) Check the connection of the camera, if it´s ok. -
2) Reflash the system and reboot it normally.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
I went to take a picture today and my camera instantly went to the front facing camera. The option to switch to the rear camera was missing. I click on the icon for panorama and I get a message that says " Sorry, no back facing camera available". I have tried everything I can think of including:
Rebooting the phone.
Deleting data and cache
Uninstalling camera updates
Factory Reset
Installing a different Rom.
Nothing has worked. Any other ideas before I contact Support?
I have this problem with two different phones...... On one I managed to repair is temporarily through a panicked series of resets etc. The other I had to RMA.

I had this problem with my Nexus 5. rear camera would stop working. One thing to try is boot to safe mode and see if it works. Safe mode disables any 3rd party apps that can cause the camera to crash. If it works, it could be an app. For me, sometimes in safe mode it wouldnt work either. I contacted Google, went through a few steps and they sent me out a replacement device.
the exact thing happens to me too

The answer is in this thread. You have to get it returned.
Ok, the rear camera doesn't open. I can't switch to it in the camera app or snapchat etc. Flash doesn't work either, and if I do the "V" gesture for flash when the phone is locked, it restarts. I have:
* Cleared cache/data
* Disabled and re-enabled the app.
* Dirty flashed OOS 4.1.7 multiple times and have also flashed Franko's Kernel which I normally use (currently running stock kernel though).
* Google camera app multiple times. (had this before too, then I deleted it after this camera problem arose)
Not sure if relevant but TWRP has been giving me some error I haven't been able to fix for some time, and can't delete the file that it says it can't open (through twrp itself or cmd+adb) . Relevant SS attached.
Thanks.
You may want to try to flash the phone using the unbrick tutorial. Make sure you have a backup of internal memory
Hmm, I haven't tried that. I just did a clean install with no success. I deleted everything except USB OTG from TWRP. This has become much harder to fix than it should be . I didn't even do anything to set it off, I was in snapchat and took a pic and then it stopped and the rear camera/flash haven't worked since.
Just to update, I just tried a clean install of NLOS Lineage OS and the rear camera/flash still didn't work. Also, if I try to take any type of video with front camera the phone says "Low memory, adjust the picture resolution or delete some files" even though there's only 3.3 GB of space used.
Also, after a clean flash and wipe of everything the error reported by TWRP no longer exists. So that wasn't what was causing the problem.
Just used the unbrick tutorial. It worked perfectly however the problem still persists and remains unchanged. Anyone have any other ideas?
After some deep diving through forums I decided to use the phone's inbuilt hardware tests, in particular *#808#, as the camera test given by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* doesn't work. Firstly, the flash works through the hardware test (although quick settings still doesn't). The "foolproof camera test" gives BackCamera PASS and FrontCamera Fail. This makes sense as when I go to the individual tests the "backcamera" shows the front camera image, while the "frontcamera" just says "cannot open camera". The PDAF/Cam_EEPROM info test says "FAIL Qualcomm", which I believe is the camera firmware not working. The storage test says "sdcard is unavailable" which I assume is why the camera isn't allowing me to record any video through the selfie camera and says "Low memory".
In summary, how do I fix the camera firmware problem and the sd card error?
RMA your phone, hardware fault.
Ok Thanks.
So there is no way to update/fix the firmware problem?

No.
P.S. "Thanks" button is for thanking, by the way. Use it in the future on this forum, whenever somebody helps you.
Im having the same problem on my one plus 3...did u find any solutions??? if yes plz lemme know.
I haven't found a solution.i replaced both The front and back camera and even played with old/new cameras in different configuration (old front + new back / new front+old back / no front + new or old back and so on) varying the result from "Back camera pass/Front camera fail to both Fail ) .the funny thing Is that if you just remove back camera and do the diagnostic menu *#808# > foolproof camera test it still says back camera pass
I have the same problem... And my camera before of this beta worked awesome... Beta 24 **** our phones...
Experiencing the same problem with the front (away) facing camera and the flashlight.
Same Problem for me since the latest official Beta. Ich tried resetting and reflashing the Phone with the last official stable rom. Did not help.
I think I solved this. I let the phone cool down then i powered it off. I let it cool down a bit again and then booted it back up. The camera and FL work.
It seems that this happends when the phone gets heated, at least in my case.
I have the same problem, camera was working fine yesterday. Foolproof camera test shows front camera fail. But the front camera works
Hello. I found I'm not the only one with this problem online but I haven't found anybody with a solution so I figured maybe somebody here knows. I first noticed this with Snapchat but it is also the case was Skype or Whatsapp or any app that uses a front facing camera. With you open an app and you have the front facing camera on like Snapchat because it opens automatically with the front facing camera the flashlight doesn't work that part is understandable. The issue is after you close the app, like even if you force close snapchat completely, the flashlight continues not to work, the tile is completely disabled. If you try to use a different app as a flashlight same problem wont turn on. the only way to get it to work again is to open your camera app or a back facing camera app and then close it and then the flashlight works again(or i suppose reboot the phone) . Did anybody happen to have a solution to this problem? It appears to be unique to the Razer phone 2 from things I've read online and from it working fine on other phones including the first razor that I had.
same, not heard of full solution.
