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.

Hi guys 1st post here, Im having a problem with my X1 camera shutter button. Here it is, when im in the todays screen when i press the camera shutter ofcourse it will activate the camera application, and now here is my problem when I'm now in the camera application when I press the camera shutter nothing is happening, it's not focusing nor taking a shot but when I'm outside the camera application it is working. Any guys have an idea on how to solve the issue? Please give some advice, thanks!
You say that it does work when you're outside? If that is so, there's obviously nothing wrong with your X1, as the unit doesn't "detect" wheter it's indoors or outside
I'm thinking more along the lines of it's working, but it just takes a while. When inside with low light intensity, it might take time for the software to focus.

I mean outside is when i'm not in "camera application (taking picture mode application)". Not outside (outdoor) literally. The shutter button is not pressing.
That is very odd indeed.
1) Have you tried a hard-reset?
2) Have you installed any custom ROM's?
So far i did'nt hard reset nor install custom rom on my fone. I think that is my last choice if can't rid of this problem.
Does it work when pressing the joystick button instead of the camera button?

Have you tried soft resetting alone? Might be enough to fix it.
@on8a
yes, i used this button as an alternative shot at the cost of no automatic focus.
@THESpideyWVU
Yes i tried the soft reset.
Im not quite sure if this is the cause of the problem, the last time it was not working since I installed some softwares like Handango InHand and Resco Keyboard Pro, Im not satisfied with the software and then unistall them both.
I have the same problem - haven't found a solution.
The hardware camera button will launch the camer application (so yes, it is 'working') but it doesn't seem to be mapped to actually take a shot any more. It won't even auto-focus... it just does nothing once the camera program is open. The joystick button will take pics fine.
Seen several posts from multiple people about this problem (on several sites!) but none with an answer!!!
Hi,
Can't believe it - I was gonna post a question about this today as I have discovered my camera button doing the same - it will launch the camera app but not actually take a photo.
I had Resco Contact Manager installed too but have removed it. I also have AE Button Plus installed, so am not sure if this is messing about with the key mapping.
Shame no-one's got an idea!
Does anyone know anything about where this might be stored in the reg?
Cheers all
Sounds to me as if a (any) program messed this up. First you guys/gals need to find a common program or software developer to see if that is somehow a commonality.
The other, in my opinion faster way to find that out, the first one with that problem and having any such program installed, who restores/resets the phone and then the button works again.... that will in any case proof for that instance that it was any of such programs that messed it up in the first place.
Just a suggestion...
*bumb*
I'm having the same problem. Any news on this matter?
Just discovered recently I am having the same problem. The thing is tat even the volume buttons which is supposed to make it zoom doesnt work also.
The strange thing is tat the volume (zoom) button and the focus-take picture button will work when i slide out the keyboard. But it is just weird tat I have to slide out the keyboard to take a picture and the button is not so accesible either.
Indeed. I'm having this problem as well. Might be a program conflict but I have no idea which. Do any of you have GProfile/GAlarm/FingerKeyboard2 installed as well?

What is the Firmware you guys are using? How about flashing to the latest 'official' one and see/check PRIOR installation of those programs, if the issue is there. If so, call SE for warranty because then its probably a hardware issue.
Otherwise I guess very strongly that those 'keyboard mapping programs' mess up this button. It seems obvious to me at least! "Remapping Keyboard Button"... then camera button doesn't works... hm...
hi
anyone found any solution yet. i am facing the same problem as well. I cannot remember when it started not to work but i remember it is still working before i update to the official R3a firmware. I have also installed the auto-flash and disabled the shutter sound. Did any of these broke the key function?

I have GAlarm and Fingerkeyboard2 installed but i cannot remember if the button works before i installed these programs. I have also discovered that my camera button works, meaning i can do focus and take pictures if i slide out my keyboard, therefore i think it is more of a software issue rather than hardware defects

Out of those three, I have G-Alarm installed. No camera button mapping problem.

I have the problem on the latest FW..both on the official 6.1 and the cooked 6.5 roms. I have a feeling that it might be FingerKboard2 but I haven't uninstalled it to try yet. The only app that I had which remapped anything was GProfile but uninstalling that didn't change anything.
Shutter key DOES work when keyboard is slid out though.
I have this issue as well...
i only have the Rhoidum keyboard installed.

touch viva's camera is really ****ed. i have another phone htc3400 having same 2 mp camera but its nice then htc viva.
Just open the back cover, use your finger to tap gently on the surround of the camera, then start the camera soft, then tap again again, until you get the camera back.
Beside, avoid to use the magnetic carrier bag, it have bad affect on your camera(I think maybe every the cover close, it "tap" the phone, and this cause the camera fail to operate properly, or maybe the magnetic itself).
Try and post your result.

Hummm is true?? i have this problem too!!!
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

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.

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, my Mi A2 seems to have a strange effect when focusing on the primary lens. I would just like to know if this is normal or not. It seems when on the low light lens the focus is even across the image but the primary lens it seems to wash from one side to the other.
Here is a video to illustrate.
Does anybody else's do this? Thanks!
I've been having the same issue for a while now! It's very annoying and I have no idea how to fix it! I've been using the low light lens and just taking pictures with that. I cannot tell if it is a hardware or software issue either. I'm going to install a custom rom soon, just haven't had time to do it, so hopefully that fixes the issue!
i think it's a software issue, because after capture everything is OK

I still have issues after capture. If I'm capturing text the top half is unreadable in portrait because it's so blurry, and when I tap to focus on the top it doesn't help.
Same issues here
I have exactly the same issue... It seems like the extremes of the picture are better and the sides really blurry. For text is really bad, and also for pictures when you want the focus not being in the center. As you mention, touching the focus does not help.
I have no solution for now, thinking on sending it back...
Doubed HW issue
I'm sorry to say I feel it like a HW issue as I am facing the same issue with GCam in my MI A2.
i too have the same problame even after capture...
It's fixed on my phone now, unfortunately I had to get a new camera module. The issue is likely caused by a misaligned lens element, so the only option is to swap the camera module or warranty the phone. Mine works great now. Shouldn't have had to fix it but I guess these things happen I guess.
