Moto X Play Rooted - Mashmellow -Moto Camera not working - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm using Marshmallow Indian version rooted.
I was having issue to switch front cam in Marshmallow- I observed after installing Xposed framework camera is not allowing switch to front cam.
So I removed Xposed- factory reset the phone. But the issue still persists. Now that I think the issue is with the overlay buttons.
Moto has some instructions shows on top of camera app- kinda overlay. That also not working.
I tried using Google Camera app which works with no issues.

restore from your backup and check if the issue persists. my front camera working fine with Xposed.

restored nandroid still it exists , let me see once I reach home.. I will flash back a MM nandroid from Xda

Don't ever mess with the DPI... Camera will stop working...

you had changed your dpi ?? after resetting dpi your camera is working again ??
I have changed mine only the front camera button doesn't work. that's okay with me as I use the phone for a lot of browsing and rarely take any photos with the front camera.

Yep.. I reverted the change. It seems moto Cam uses dpi in some of it's function.

ICS Camera Issues

After upgrading to ICS, the build in Camera App has problems and also the QRC-Reader App even shows a error.
In Google Googles and Camera FX, the Camera works perfect.
Does anybody experience the same issues.

Nope, all working perfectly here. I tested video, still, and panorama with the front and rear cameras, including all options (white balance, face effects, etc.), as well as panorama with the rear camera (it can't be used with the front one), and scanning a dozen different 2D and 3D barcodes with the ZXing app and rear camera as well.
Not a single error or crash on a stock US-market just-wiped TF101. Well, other than that the camera quality sucks, but that's a hardware issue.
every camera app including the stock one work perfectly.
Mine also works perfectly now... fornt and rear...
But one question though: in the stock camera app, what's the button in the lower right corner for? my camera app freezes when I click on it...
Hi,
Also for me not working camera; I try more applications, none of them working.
This is very strange: I have between the applications that are included in ROM also "Superuser". This suppose to came with ICS?
My TF was rooted previously, but when I did upgrade to latest version of HC (8_6_5_21), I did lost the root.
So this application was installed in my TF before the upgrade to ICS; but now I cannot uninstall: seems that is included in ROM.
The error I receive when I try camera is : "Can't connect to the camera".
I believe that something went wrong in my upgrade. I did also factory reset after upgrade to ICS, no change.
Now I hope some update from asus will help me.

camera not working
My camera is not working as well, done people have started their cameras up while holding their finger in front of it to activated their auto focus, and have had success. Just place your finger in front of the camera for 5 seconds then remove it. No success for me, but you can tell it's doing something different when you do that
Same problem here "Can't connect to camera". This error comes up for front facing camera but the back camera works perfectly. Thing is this error came up when I installed the prime rom.
PS. The front facing camera was working when I bought the tab.

Ah, the front sensor strikes again...
That's almost like my own experience with the front camera: worked like a charm on Honeycomb, since 9.2.1.17 it goes berserk in low-light conditions until the unit is rebooted (but instead of an error message the Camera application showed a garbled image with previous contents of the framebuffer).
IIRC, the first batch of logs I sent to Asus North America was related to this problem
Are you guys stock and unrooted? If not give it a shot just to see.

Phone does not detect front camera.

Hey hiii xda group, all of a sudden my Gionee Elife E7's camera app crashes and gps turns on when switching to front camera.

already done with factory reset, my phone has never been rooted.
Try using third party camera apps like focal and open front cam...

I have the same problem, same gionee, I, tried focal app and camera doesn't open.
I erased all app data and cache, made factory reset and nothing. In hardware information app front Camera don't appear. I beg u, Hlp plz
1 Try a few camera apps from play store (if u have kk install google camera app)
2 If every app turns the same problembit could be a hardware issue
3 To be sure of that flash a stock rom and test the camera app.
If by now you re not able to use the front camera you should consider send the phone to repair
thank u

Hi, thanks for the help but none of your steps solved my problem. I show to u a comparison between 2 gionee e life 7
Has anyone solved this issue? I have exactly the same problem. It seems to have happened after I installed the official update. I have tried several roms, cleared cache etc..
i think its must be a hardware issue
i tried and no solution so far. It must be an hardware issue..

[Q] Camera Shows Black Screen

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 I9505 device. I am running the Imperium ROM 7.0 (i.e. Lollipop).
All this time the Camera application was working just fine. But now from some days when ever i open up the Camera application (Rear Camera) i noticed that the screen showed up Green lines on the screen and then the camera application stopped functioning. The app just used to hang and do absolutely nothing.
And now when I open the camera application the screen is completely dark showing absolutely nothing and doing absolutely nothing.
Solutions that I have tried are as follows:
1. I cleared all the Camera Application cache and it did not help.
2. I Cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache but even that did not help.
3. Tried 2 different ROMS, a. Stock ROM and b. AOSP ROM and found the same camera behaviour.
The front camera is working absolutely fine though.
Any suggestions? I now believe that the Camera Module is dead.
If so has anyone of you replaced your camera module, and would you mind sharing your success story?
Thanks
Seeing a few posts like this
There are quite a few posts like this recently. I tried swapping for a known good camera module and it did not fix my problem. Either this is related to some type of software update from google, or our motherboards are going bad.

Problem with google camera on Marshmallow

Hi,
Recently installed Kushan CM Marshmallow, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and looks fine except Google camera. I can take a picture, but after switch to video mode, it stops working.. Have you experienced such issue? Is there any resolution for that?
I tried any other camera application and they works properly. Maybe there is a problem with camera firmware? Is there possibility to upgrade?

Camera Error

Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. This is a brand new device, fully updated, and when I go to open the camera, a message pops up saying "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?
This seems like an app error because the camera works well on Facebook and Snapchat.
settings -apps-camera -clear cache and date reboot-try!
If not working.....if not working.?.RMA
I already did that and I get the same error. I find this odd.
I was wrong. Both Snapchat and Facebook switch between the single and dual lense back cameras. They do not switch to the front camera.

I have the same issue with my LG G6. Have you fixed yours?
I got a new one, only way to fix it.
Im having the same issue after a screen replacement. The people who replaced the screen even boight a new front camera and replaced it with no luck. Also, the screenshot button for the bottom bar is conpletely missing which i find very odd.
That error seems to be the camera unpluged
I mean the phone is made of connections between hardware and the camera is not connected , its an hardware problem that is fixed by open the phone and plug jt in
Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I have the same issue with my phone. I replaced the cameras and it still gets the error; however, it does come on when I use a barcode reader...?
I also have the same issue (lg g6 - android 9)
When i open stock app for camera i get error "Camera unavailable".
But with other camera apps like Gcam or Open Camera, it works fine.
I flashed with new rom, but the error is still there.
Any ideas???
- i flashed with Android 9... not solved
- i flashed with Android 8... not solved
Hardware problem?
in that case why camera works fine with any other application, except stock?
Software problem?
it should have been solved after flashing two original roms (8 & 9).
The only explanation i can think is that there is hardware problem with 1 of the 2 camera. And maybe with the wide one. And maybe that's why it is not working with stock app. Maybe other camera apps don't require both camera's (normal and wide lens) to be working.
