i got problems!

I tried several different camera apps, all did the same thing. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

I doubted it would make a difference but I think you ruled out a software issue. If the only problem is the front facing camera, you can have a happy life without it!

Yes! Aside from missing that feature, I'm very happy with this phone now. Thanks!
