Take your thumb off the lens
Smiffy.
Hugot, just checking - you haven't got an 8525 have you? If so, that could be the reason you can't get the front camera to take a picture!
Sorry, very juvenille, but simply couldn't resist....
same problem here...
cant get it to work.
the front cam worked, now when i try any software I know to get a pic from it i get a device error or just nothing - it also afected my video calling, I cant use video calling(even the back camera shows black when using video call...)
I have a TYTN(herm200)
can someone pls tell me how to use the front camera for photos. I only use mine in video call. Can't see any settings in camera app (WM6 Black Majikn v4) that allows this.
i've got similiar problem but with wm5 but it was a guarantee problem.
I took my hermes for the representative to substitute the front camera

I think its arcsoft coolcam that allows this, its been posted in the wm5 section, that I know of, and I could be a little off on the name of it, Im just trying to remember off the top of my head.
I had tried it a looong time ago, but when you have a 2mp cam compared to the 1.3mp on the front I think it is, its not really prudent to even mess with taking pics with it.
I could be wrong on the name of the app, and even the specs on the front cam.
yeah

Thanks for that. Was messing around in camera settings looking for an "choose other lens" mode...

SOLVED!
after meeting with a friend that works in a lab that fix JASJAM\TYTN:
1. the Hermes has a tendency to loosen the cable of the front cam.
2. its a clip-on so don't worry.
3. bad news - you need to take apart the device - not that bad if you know what your doing.
you`ll need a torx and a philips.
thank god - it`s working now !
added bonus? - i tightened the keyboard and cleaned the device
Use of camera in WM6
Hi,
Has anybody else solved that problem with camera? When I make a video call I can see the other party but my camera is "dead". I'm not able to switch to the back camera... the window is black. If I start the "camera" for pictures immediately after the video failed, the photo camera does not work. Then I close and restart the photo camera and then it works.
So the video calls work only in one direction - incoming.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Thanks elivne!!
I fixed mine!!! Had to disassemble mine and you were right, the cable was loosen!!
I can't find the loosen cable
Dear elivne,
when i disassemble mine i can't find the loosen cable, where it is so i can plug in and fix my front camera????
the cable is connected to the from camera, it sits next to the explorer button on the top.
how can you not find it?(turn the device over and find the camera, then turn it over again and find the cable and the camera from the inside)
the canble is connected when you fell the click
Use of front camera in WM6 - Same problem
Exactly same problem as EdwardGonen reported. When upgrading to WM6, front camera stopped working for video calls. If I start the "camera" application to take pictures after video call fails, the photo camera does not work. I need to re-start the "camera" app for the photo camera to work. Also tried to upgrade to WM6.1 with same results... The camera was working with WM5 before the upgrade.
Ideas? Comments?

I have exactly the same problem as you. Can anyone help us please?
front camera problem
hI! Same here... My back camera works fine but when I want to make a Video Call the only thing I get from my side is black image. Nothing. The incoming connection quality is fine but nothing goes out... The problem started around the upgrade to WM6. No idea how to fix it...
I bought my phone 3 weeks ago and all was fine until yesterday.
suddenly my back camera can't focus at items that are far then 5 cm.
I tried to install other camera app but it didn't work.
I tried to restore the camera to default and it didn't help.
front camera works well.
anyone can help?
Might be general problem?
I can only tell that focus of the back camera seems to be very sensitive towards fingerprints and dirt on the lens as well as low brightness. Couldn't get a single good shot in the evening. But if you have focus problems with a cleaned lens on objects in direct sunlight it's obviously a different problem.
Autofocus problem
I ve the same problem on my p8000. Autofocus on back camera doesn't work. I ve installed also Camera fv-5 app and it said me that autofocus doesn't work... Could be that same FOTA update has genereted the problem?
I think it's difficult it is an hardware problem...
I have the same problem. I tried multiple different Roms and Kernels and still the autofocus is not working. Also the headphone jack just stopped working.
I am starting to hate that peace of crap. And elephones service = Zero.
Its a good concept by the way to build high tech phones with hardware that breaks after some weeks and software that only works partially so that you have to flash a rom to get nearly everything working but you loose your warranty doing that.. I will never buy a "cheap" china phone again.
same problem with my p8000 version B, when i using banking deposit check, can't auto focus. hope someone can fix it
I am too facing the same problem. However, I tried Blueflame's CM and it was working well. So I guess there is something wrong with the binaries. It would be great if someone could prepare a flashable zip for fixing it.

have the same problem after it fall off the ground. seems like a hardware failure
really like the phone but cant use the cam anymore. **** happens
Hi,
My treat camera used to work fine, but one day started the autofocus started to fail, and pictures taken are blurry.
I've checked using other camera applications (which don't use the laser focus) but all are having the same issue.
I've ordered a new camera and changed, just to find the same issue.
I've noted that when using the magic mode, the pictures taken can be manually focused and they are good as they used to be.
I've also run the camera test on the hidden menu, and it shows AF failed.
Any idea? Is it possible to calibrate the focus of the camera?
Thanks in advance.

Hello guys!
I've got a (big) problem with my G3. Rear camera is not detected anymore. Only front camera is working (image is upside-down)
I've tried to reflash the stock firmware, it opened the rear camera but the app crashed, so it didn't worked.
Do you know what can I do to get the rear camera back to life?
Thanks!
Open your phone and check the connection at the motherboard where the camera is.

I will try this as soon as I get the necessary tools.
If I reflash stock rom I can open rear camera for about 1-2 seconds, I can see the image, but it will crash and will end having only portrait mode and no flash.

PM me to help you tear down your phone and not make any mistakes.
Problem solved.
I don't know how, got fixed by itself.
I have to replace battery now because my phone won't start-up without charging (bootloop - 100% not a soft problem).
Thanks!
Hi. My phone is S20+ (G985). Unfotunately my rear camera doesnt work and shows black screen. I've flashed the newest stock rom and some custom roms. But it didn't solve. But in some app such as "Face App" works my rear camera (although, I think that "only" my ultra wide rear camera works). I sent my device to a samservice in my country. And it told to me: "after testing three another modules, it does't work. So, wait to replace with another module". But, I'm not sure it is a hardware issue. It may be software issues. Please see the images I attached.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks.
