Samsung camera not working? Does your Samsung camera keep stopping? Is your Samsung selfie camera (front) not giving you an image? Is your Samsung camera blurry? Or is your Samsung camera giving an error? That’s annoying! You can no longer take a picture of your cup of coffee, and selfies are also a thing of the past due to the broken selfie camera. In this blog, we explain to you what’s wrong with your Samsung camera. The following may be going on:

  • Samsung camera gives black image
  • Camera glass is broken
  • Samsung camera is blurry and out of focus
  • Camera vibrates when you hold your phone still

Samsung camera gives black image

Does your Samsung rear camera give black image the moment you open your camera? Or do you have no image when opening the front selfie camera? First of all, check to make sure there is nothing in front of the lens, such as your phone case, a sheet of glass or dirt. Is this not the case and your Samsung camera is not working? If so, it may be a software problem. In that case, we recommend resetting your Samsung. You do this by pressing the power button and the volume down button at the same time for ten seconds. Then restart your Samsung phone and see if the Samsung camera works again. Are you still not getting a picture? Then it is good to perform a software recovery. Before performing software recovery, it is important that you make a backup first so that you do not lose your data. Read how to perform a software recovery here.

If the above steps do not help and your Samsung rear camera or Samsung selfie camera (front) is not working, then you must be asking yourself why your samsung camera is not working. Most likely, your Samsung camera is not working because of a hardware problem. The cause may be the camera itself or the motherboard. In that case, visiting a professional repairman is the only solution. At ThePhoneLab, we can figure out the cause of your problem through a free little investigation. After this, you are never obliged to proceed with repairs.

Samsung camera glass is broken

Is there a crack in your camera glass? If so, this can cause weird spots in the image. You may also find that your Samsung camera is blurry and no longer focuses. If there is a visible scratch or crack in the camera glass then you can have it replaced at a repair shop like ThePhoneLab. Don’t do this? Then this can cause a lot of misery; dust or water can enter your Samsung camera through the crack. This will eventually cause more damage and then you are even further from home.

Samsung camera no longer focuses

Is there no physical crack in your Samsung camera glass and no crack visible on the front selfie camera of your Samsung phone, but the camera still does not focus and your camera is blurry? Several reasons can account for this. The same solution applies to all of these problems: visit a professional repairman. Unfortunately, you cannot solve these problems yourself. First of all, you may have dropped your Samsung phone once (in water). Even if the fall did not cause external damage, something may still be broken internally. This is especially true with water damage. Do you use your phone on the motorcycle, scooter or bicycle using a special holder? Then the vibration of the phone may have caused this damage, more on this under “camera vibrates. All of the above causes can cause the camera to stop focusing and your Samsung camera to show blurry images. Stop by one of our stores where we can solve this annoying problem for you.

At ThePhoneLab, we do a free diagnostic to find out why your Samsung camera is not working.

Samsung camera vibrates

Do you have the problem that your camera image vibrates when you hold your phone still? Then the optical image stabilizer is broken. This stabilizer ensures that videos and photos remain sharp and stable when moving with the phone. We often see it broken by putting the phone in a holder on the handlebars of the motorcycle, scooter or bicycle. Vibrating the phone causes the optical image stabilizer to break down. Replacing the camera solves this problem.
