Hello!
I recently bought a Lenovo duel 2 from a website called Bluediode. I suspect ofc its model from china but i am not sure which ROM i have. I only see actual update version is 12.5.188.
I have one big issue and few small ones :
The front camera opens and closes normally but will never display the front view. Only using one of the rear camera. And if i click portrait in the camera option it will crash camera app.
hardware or software issue?
and how can i eventually change for ROM uk ( 12.5.137) ?
i want a rom where i don t have camera issue or ads in Google
thanks a lot!!!
PIt could be something wrongly fitted inside or something disconnected inside it.

Since I updated OTA to 2.3.6 build 4.5.141, I have been experiencing a problem with the camera as it shows a black screen (both still and video) and crashes after that.
I am willing to root the phone and install flash a ROM if that could be helpful. I tried a factory reset, SD format/unmount, battery pull, reboot, and everything possible with an unrooted device.
Warranty period is over so I can't ask for a replacement.
Any help is appreciated.
Camera
I had similar problems with upgrading to ICS Roms.
I fixed the problems with installation of Videocam Illusion and ProCapture or FastBurst Camera. I don't know if it is suitable for your Rom.
The only problem I see now with these apps is that I can't open, let say, ProCapture or FastBurst and after any camera or camcorder apps. The only to get these apps to work is to reboot.
Not working
Thanks for your feedback.
But I tried installing all those apps but they all give the same problem (black screen, which later freezes). I tried changing the resolution of the camera and then the camera app did not open at all saying: camera unable to initialize.
Occasionally, it shows a large camera icon in front of the screen and then it just closes down saying 'Activity Camera (in application Camera) not responding.
I do still think it is a software (not a hardware) problem because the phone has not been exposed to any physical damage whatsoever and everything else works smoothly on it.
I am already considering getting a replacement camera but thought I'd exhaust all other options before doing so as it does take a while to get a replacement. Luckily, it is under warranty.
Thanks again.
Id you're looking for a good stock based rom id try nottachrix. I've been on it roughly 2 months no issues

I've made this thread to mainly know if this could be a simple random software crash issue... What worries me most is if it could be the start of an hardware failure.
I have an S3 I9300 since October and there were 2 times where my back-facing camera seemed to crash into a green screen, both in apps.
1st crash happened in MixBooth last month, the camera preview screen was fully green. Exiting the program and opening the official camera app seemed to fix it.
2nd crash, today, happened in Barcode Scanner. The camera preview screen turned green, with some flickering lighter-green lines. It also completely froze the device and I had to force shutdown by holding the power button.
Has yet to happen in the camera app itself, but I'm worried if it's for certain an hardware issue related to internal connections or otherwise.
Unless these happen with software glitches/crashes as well? I found a person showcasing a similar green-screen issue on the S3 (can't post link so Google for "Android Camera Preview is incorrect on Samsung Galaxy S3"). It's not quite the same green pattern, though it seems a problem encountered while developing an app that uses the camera.
Many thanks for any answer, even if it's just an opinion or conjecture.

No, didn't install ExynosAbuse or anything that gains access to root.
Green Screen in camera
I have had the same issue happen to me a few minutes ago.
I was using the stock camera app and it just suddenly froze onto a green screen.
I have owned my galaxy s3 for less that 24 hours so I am hoping this isn't a recurring problem.
Have you figured out if it was just a software bug?
Not completely sure, but it has yet to happen again... I'd guess if it was hardware its frequency would increase...
Though I did find a thread from 2010 over at the androidforums in regards to a green camera crash on the Samsung Transform that would fix itself with a reboot (see "Support Camera problems?"), so I guess in that case it could be a software crash similar to the ones we just had.
Intresting. I suppose it is just software..
We will be getting a 4.1.2 update pretty soon and that should will iron out any small bugs such as the camera issue we are having.
green screen

got to solve it ... for while
Dear all,
I believe that got to fix this issue - had downloaded Ad Detector software from Google Play, and had noticed that there were 29 apps with AdMob plugin on it - had deleted some of the infected software and the camera is now working?
If you have free software installed in your mobile, try to delete it and check it if your mobile camera is working again ...
hi I got a samsung galaxy note n7000 last week on ebay. The seller wrote in his advertisement, that the camera doesn't work, so I knew what I was buying. Every time I open the camera app (or any other apps that use the camera; front and back) the app freezes, the screen is black (apart from the camera functions and the viewfinder) and then tells me "camera failed" and closes. I have tried to go into app settings to force the app to close and clear cache but nothing. I also flashed several different stock roms (from gingerbread to jellybean with factory reset and clear cache in the hidden android menu before phone start). But no luck either. I even bought a new rear camera and installed it, in hope it would solve the problem (which it didn't) but it must be software related, as the front camera doesn't work either.
Any idea guys as to what I can do to get the camera working again? Phone is updated with the latest software and so are all the apps. I checked with memory card and without and formatted memory card and phone...PLEASE HELP :'(
Thank you in advance for your help.
You might try asking in the appropriate forum.

Sorry
Sorry pretty new to this. Thanks
I've Had this tab for almost 3 years with no problems. I purchased it unlocked, from Sony.
2 weeks ago the camera just stopped working. No drops, Splashes, or any other drama to the z3 tablet compact.
These are the things I've tried:
Sony companion re install of software(6.0.1 MM)
Factory data reset
Removed sd card
Reset all defaults
Cleared all camera data from apps and restart
Tried disable camera, and install 3rd party app from play store, front facing actually took a picture,but with no on screen preview, just black screen, I tapped the shutter button, it took the pic, rear camera still inop.
Tried the onboard support diagnostics camera test, it force closed the support app....lol
I'm running fully stock android 6.0.1 mm over the air download/Model # SGP612/Build # 23.5.A.0.575/ Android security patch level-March 1 2016
Kernel version- 3.4.0-perf-g43ea728/[email protected] #1/Friday April 22 17:27:56 2016
I now live in Thailand and the local Sony store says after getting my IDID# and serial #, they can not repair here.
I'm trying to avoid sending it in to Sony, but if I have to, does anybody have a link?
Thanks a lot for your help.
I have the same problem, on my note 3 with 9.7 temasek ROM and idle kernel 7.1.0, can any body help?
I have the same problem too. Im on stock marshmallow sgp621. Camera just suddenly stopped working and when the diagnostics camera test setting is used it shows support has stopped. I dont think im on warranty anymore. Im really hoping to get this fixed since this is my daily driver/phone. Im very much dependent on cameras in taking pictures of notes and stuff. Please help
Same problem. Someone could fix it?

I have issues with the camera om my Z3CT to. The camera app starts but isn't able to take any pictures. It seems that the hardware is stuck somehow (can't focus). Not sure if it's an issue with the fw or the hardware though. Try downgrade to earlier fw and check if it works, if it does it's probably related to the camera drivers. I never really use my tablet to take pictures (use my Z5C phone instead, and just sync the pictures with my tab), so it's not really a big issue for me.

Note 3 is a Samsung device, so you are in the wrong section.

Hi,
I am using LG V30+ (LG-H930DS) past one year. For past two months, my default camera app stopped working. I have tried with restarting the mobile, clearing the data and cache, force stopped the app also. Nothing works. I am receiving the following error
"Camera Error;Camera unavailable"
Also in other camera applications the selfie cam is not opening. If I select the change camera option to take photo in front camera, its redirecting again to rear camera. I am unable to open the camera through applications like WhatsApp also. Even face detection is not working.
I haven't dropped my mobile or damaged by any other means like water also.
So can anyone of the members in our forum could help to rectify this error?
My mobile IS currently running in May 1 2019 security patch. Software version is V20f-IND-XX.

1) Perhaps there's a conflict:
"Camera Error;Camera unavailable"
"Also in other camera applications the selfie cam is not opening".
That first error usually means something else is using the camera. Uninstall the other camera applications to test. You can always re-install later.
Back when I had Moto Maxx XT1225 and custom ROM, I ended up with two Galleries and my camera would crash when I tried to use it. I ended up having to freeze one of the Galleries in Titanium Backup.
If you have multiple camera apps, it's possible one of them is always running in the background or something which prevents the others from using the camera. Just a suggestion to uninstall them, temporarily go back to stock LG camera only and see if that solves the issue. Then you can add them back one by one, rebooting in between, see if there's a conflict again (if that's the reason).

2) Yeah, could be hardware failure. In one instance, someone's selfie camera was not working -- wouldn't open. But turns out the problem was actually the rear camera. They had to REPLACE THE REAR CAMERA and then the selfie camera worked. The rear camera was faulty and wouldn't switch to the selfie camera.
This camera error, camera unavailable just happened to me. This is the 2nd time its happened and rhe first time i had to do a complete factory reset to restore my camera function....i didnt know what caused it then but it happened again and I think I know what may have caused it.
So this time just like last time I had my SD card filled with photos mounted and taking photos with this new phone created a 2nd "camera" folder.
I moved all the photos out of that folder into my existing SD card "camera" named folder and this inadvertently deleted my newly created LG "camera" folder...
I noticed my next time I went to take a pic I got the error....im thinking its related? Any weight to that? How do it restore or create that folder again...? To check before im forced to factor restore again??
Thank you!
