I'd advise that you take it to Carlcare and if you don't want to (for some reason) be mindful of who you give your phone to for repair. However, try flashing other firmware for hot 6 on it. You just might be lucky to have it fixed by flashing a particular build for Hot 6. I will take it Carlcare to fix the front camera, I just want to know if someone has done something like this so that I can have an idea of how much it costs. Also about the flashing another firmware on it, I can't do it myself and I doubt that the technicians over here have various firmware builds compatible with the phone that can be flashed on it. I will just stick to getting a new front camera. Thanks. |

Actually, your phone's problem is different from the other user. Hers was a disabled camera app while yours is working with no camera in app switch to select front (selfie) camera.
Regarding the problem you're facing, first, I'd want you to know that since the stock camera app can't switch to front camera (owing to missing clickable button) no app will fix that for you. Second, i've several of such cases and 90%of the time it turns out that the front camera is bad while others were simply stock ROM issue. A friend of mine had a similar problem on his Samsung s5 in which the option to swap to the front camera isn't present in the camera app. Flashing didn't fix it but another front camera did.
Deduction & Possible Solution: For hardware failure, seems the camera API is designed in such a way that the switching button in the camera app on shows when both cameras are detected. Probably your phone has experience fatal impact due to drop or water spillage towards the phones earpiece grill. Change front camera.
For software, flashing with the appropriate ROM should fix it. NOTE: Suppose your phone has a factory installed android 7.0 but spec says it's upgradable to 8.1. I'd advise you to flash with the Android version that came with your phone and not with the upgraded version. Thank you very much for your advice. Guess the best thing to do now is to change the front camera. Please,who knows how much the front camera for infinix hot 6 cost? |

Well, it seems to me that you have uninstalled the other camera apps and you're certain you no longer have any third-party camera app PLUS you did not find the camera app in your list of frozen apps even though the camera app appears disabled in settings. Yet, the camera icon is nowhere to be found on the drawer...
Try this; If you can get a friend's phone that is exactly your model, use xender to send the default camera app and install it. If you don't have anyone around with your phone model, just go to Google and search for " stock camera app for <put your phone name and model>" .
With that, you should be able to find the stock camera app for download. Install it and try opening it to see whether it launches your camera. If it doesn't, then I'm afraid your solution is Factory Resetting. Remember to do backup of files, contacts, sms, logs and so on before doing this. I really hope you don't have to reset though. I have a similar issue to this.. Installing an OTA system upgrade on my Infinix Hot 6 and suddenly my phone was stuck in a boot loop(start booting, go off for a couple of seconds and start booting again).. Tried to hard reset it but was not working..Told I had to flash the phone and install another ROM compatible with the phone. At the end of it, new ROM as the one on it before was installed but only issue is the icon to switch to the front camera on the phone is missing. Factory reset was done again but no changes. Took it carlcare because the phone is still under a 1 year warranty but I was told that the front camera would have to be changed entirely. Tried to get the stock camera app on Google but did not find and also had a friend using the same phone as mine send me his camera app but no difference also. Please is there any other solution other than these? |
