Hello all, Here is the deal. When I switch to the front-facing camera I simply get a blurry image of whatever the rear camera was pointed at. The last thing I did to this phone was replace the battery, but the camera was working after I did so. In fact the camera didn’t stop working until days after the battrery was replaced. Here is what I have tried so far to fix it: Total phone restore: This did nothing. Replaced the the front facing camera: This also did nothing. I removed any apps, that were possible to remove, connected to the front facing camera. After all of this, the camera still won’t work. Everything else on the phone works great. Since it seemed to happen all of a sudden, I thought it had to be hardware related, but after replacing the camera, I am beginig to wonder. Has anyone had a similar issue?
Did you disconnect the screen for the battery replacement? If so, then I would check the integrity of the front camera connector on the logic board. If you’re lucky, the camera may just be improperly connected. Otherwise, it is possible that the connector is damaged or that some small components adjacent to the connector were accidentally dislodged.
