[Front Camera] bugged after the 4.3 upgrade

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone else expect similar or same issue as I do.
I recently updated to 4.3 soft No: 3.62.401.1
Today I was in need of using the front facing camera and when i switched from main camera ( which works perfectly fine) the front camera shows purple'ish lines from top to bottom in horizontal view, they are all over the screen and I can just about make out some shapes behind them.
Front camera functions work and I did test the camera when i got the phone and it was working perfectly fine as well.
I havent drop the phone nor hit it with anything, there are no viable marks on the front camera as well.
I wonder if this is due to software or not ?
Anyone could shed some light on this issue ?
Many Thanks
Kind Regards

I don't have that issue, but I swear since updating to 4.3 the Front facing camera has ****tier resolution or something, waaay more noise going on even in the brightest light - whereas before it was crisp and sharp. Hangouts video calls now look like **** too..

tnx mate
well I'm now thinking if I should get my phone replaced, I got extended warranty on it with insurance so I could get it fixed/replaced in no time.
Still wondering if this not a software issue or not.
I forgot to mention that I have a carrier free version with sim unlocked in factory.

I really think they messed up the FFC by trying to "software fix" their purple tint issue on the back cam
Something they did to the way the software runs the cameras screwed up the clarity and created new issues. That's my guess

Camera problem shaking of zuk z2 pro

I have a problem with my rear camera that is shaking and crashing. I can not stabilize it, only the front camera works normally. Anyone have any ideas to solve?

Hi Joiner22,
I had the same problem with my phone (ZUI 2.0.048 ST, Android 6.0.1).
Since I upgraded to (ZUI 2.5.355 ST, Android 7.0) the problem was solved

I did a test with the newest stock and custom rom. But the problem persists.

I have this problem since at least a year and it seems to be a really common issue with the Zuk Z2 Pro.
It has something to do with the autofocus component, so it is primarily a hardware issue. The only workaround I have, is, to shake the phone when the camera app is open, so it tries to refocus. (while shaking it might be possible that you here some loose parts in the camera)
Hope that helps and yes it is really annoying.

Yes, it was exactly like that but as I said, after upgrading one week ago to ZUI 2.5.355 ST, this problem was solved. If it comes back, I will say something

I changed the rom and it did not work. I had to buy a new camera module on AliExpress.

Half side blur photo (Unable to focus)

I am not much interested in camera when i bought Mi A2, it works fine. but recently when i was taking picture, it was half side blur and i was not able to make focus on upper side of camera. i tried all modes but no use. I have Note 6 Pro and it's camera functions and focus properly.
in mi A2 I observed when in MANUAL mode i select Lens as LOW LIGHT, it works (but in manual mode only).
do any one has some solution or give reason to behave camera like this.

Same here

It was a February patch bug and it seems to persist in March patch... Xiaomi.

This is a hardware problem, I also had this, give the phone a guarantee.
P.S. sorry for english(

How so we both have exactly the same problem and mine started with pie?

Looks like this is a hardware issue, I'm having the same problem after 4 months of use.

Same here, I also took it to guarantee and they told me it was a software problem, but when they gave it back to me nothing had changed. Camera still not working

Please let us know if this fixes it. I have this problem too and I'm thinking about ordering a new camera module.

I had ordered it from this website but I had paid the cheapest shipping, I'm from Mexico so it will take a while to arrive to my country.. maybe next month..

I had the same problem and replaced the camera module with a new one, and the problem was fixed... temporarily because 3 months after it started happening again with the new camera, so either I am super unlucky, or it must be some other defect in the phone that tends to breaks the primaey cameras...
At this point I don't think I am going to replace it again. Do you know of any way of recording videos with the low light camera?

I have the same issue. In fact this issue persists in the video mode as well. Its okay for videos of objects nearby but move even a few metres away and it becomes very difficult to focus. I was at this concert and wanted to record the performance but only got a very blurry video with muffled sound. For photos this issue is especially an inconvenience when taking photographs of documents etc where you could very well do without the unnecessary bokeh effect. In MANUAL mode this does reduce a bit, but not to any extent that helps.
I was just told by a friend that installing the Google camera mod might help, but I'm yet to try it out.

I have same problem with upper side blur. Seems that switching to "manual" mode and change "lens" from "regular" to "low light", as said by the original user. It works fine with me. Thanks for the tips ! ........ so it is not the hardware problem, it is a software problem. Changing camera may not work ! Don't know if they are going to release new firmware to solve it or not ?? Any idea how to upgrade the firmware ?

If it is a hardware problem I do not see why it would prevent using the secondary camera, it can be a problem with the lenses (Have you thrown or hit your phone?) and not with the module. There are those who have returned to Oreo and the problem persists.

xz1 compact strange problem with photo on stock rom Oreo 47.1.A.16.20 (G8441 lilac)

Goodmorning everyone.
i have a problem with sony xz1 compact.
I state that I use it as a test phone to experiment, so I don't care about DRM keys, etc.
- I have bootloader unlocked
- I have twrp installed
- I have tested and installed several custom roms and the camera has always worked (without green photos for clarity)
- Kernel 4.4.78-perf+ [email protected] #1 Wed Aug 22 11:48:47 2018
From a custom ROM, I tried to restore the official Android 9.0.0 pie firmware - 47.2.A.11.228 with Sony Emma and the camera works perfectly for both front and rear photos and videos (without green photos for clarity)
as a test, again with Sony Emma, ​​I restored Oreo stock rom 47.1.A.16.20 and here the problems with the camera started.
I'll explain
Immediately after the restoration of Oreo, the camera only took green photos both frontally and in the rear, but recorded videos correctly both frontally and in the rear.
I left the phone charging all night, and magically the camera started working again (no green photos both in front and behind)
I thought the problem was solved.
Instead it seems that when I activate the stock camera, randomly the problem of the green photos reappears and after 4 photos taken ONLY with the front camera, the problem disappears and the rear camera works perfectly again.
But if I close and reopen the camera stock app the problem starts again. So after 4 photos taken ONLY with the front camera, the problem disappears and the rear camera works perfectly too.
If I switch again from Oreo to PIE with a restore with Sony Emma (official Android 9.0.0 pie firmware - 47.2.A.11.228) the camera works perfectly (never green photos)
This is strange and I don't understand it
Did you also run into this problem?
Do you have any solution?
I ask because i WANT to use stock rom with oreo and magisk module to be able to use sdcard as internal memory because with andoid 9 pie stock and with ROM it cannot use
- Sorry for my bad english-

It's well documented that unlocking the BL creates issues with the camera on Oreo, so I have little sympathy for those that can't be bothered to spend half an hour backing up and restoring their TA partition. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
That said, you can try this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oted-kernel-hiding-bootloader-unlock-t3898711, but if that doesn't work then you'll be stuck with the issue.

Thanks for the reply and for not being nice.
Since I bought it used, it could be that the DRM keys had already been lost, don't you think ??
I have little sympathy for those who do not know all facts and sentence.

Me posting a link in an attempt to help you resolve your issue was me being nice. You did say, "I state that I use it as a test phone to experiment, so I don't care about DRM keys, etc.", so if you bought it that way then "I have little sympathy for those who do not know all facts" or researching a device before buying.

We started with some misunderstandings.
I really appreciated your help.
Each one buys phones for their own reasons.
Anyway, I solved the camera problems thanks to this post:

Everything works perfectly on Oreo stock rom 47.1.A.16.20 without green photos and with SuperSU installed

I'd be more tempted to use a solution that is only a year old than one that is three. SuperSu in 2020=scart, Magisk in 2020=HDMI, but if it works and you're happy, that's all that matters.

just a test to see if an old folder-mounting app works

Asus Rog 3 no camera and fingerprint scanning

Hello
I bought Asus Rog 3 (android 12) after replacing the screen. He has this problem:
- Only the front camera works, when I try to switch to the rear camera, the camera freezes for a moment and switches back to the front camera.
However, if I turn on the google camera in the options, the rear camera works normally.
- Doesn't read fingerprints. Scanner turns on but does not scan any lines.
I thought android 12 broke and I uploaded android 11 from Asus and it's the same. After a while, it updated itself again to android 12.
I have no idea how the fault could be.
Anyone have any advice on this problem?

Are you sure the device re-assembled properly? I've replaced the display in my ROG 3 before, all worked out very smoothly. Nothing special involved beyond making sure motherboard, fingerprint reader, cameras and everything else are all connected back together correctly...

Thanks for the answer.
I was also wondering about it, to be honest, but since the rear camera works in the "google camera" mode and the white line scanner also, but it does not scan the line, the problem is probably in the software.
In fastbootd mode it displays something like this, I do not know if it is correct because it is my first Rog 3
I don't want to open it while it's possible. Therefore, I am asking if any of my honorable colleagues had this or a similar problem.

The screenshot doesn't tell much. However, you won't be able to RAW flash this device from there. Check that your have correct Fastboot access from the bootloader (without navigating to above). Then do a RAW flash to one of the A10 or A11 versions that works.

Why should I flash in RAW format? What will this change?

I downgraded the software from the Asus website to:
- Android 10 (front / rear camera is working properly, fingerprint scanner is not working)
- Android 11 (rear camera not working, fingerprint scanner not working)
- Android 12 (rear camera not working, fingerprint scanner not working)
I don't know where the problem is. I have already written to Asus about this. We'll see what they write back.
I checked the phone's serial numbers on the Asus website and everything is correct.
The phone was not unlocked and rooted. FOTA is working properly.
Just got the latest version dated 01.08.2022
The problem remained.

Hello
As I wrote above.
Asus spoke very quickly. The phone was sent to service in RMA mode. I don't know what they did, but very fast and everything works as it is supposed to.
I contacted the previous owner and it turned out that the screen was replaced on the Asus service. Guarantee until the end of October
And I was so tempted to open it
It's good that I did not do it because it is a little 16/512GB baby girl
