Samsung Galaxy S2 front camera issues.

[rlink1971]

I dowloaded Yahoo Messenger and the voice and video plug-in. I tried to use it and my front camera said it failed and closed everything. Now my front camera won't work at all now. Is there a fix for it or do I have to get another phone?

Welcome to our AndroidForums, rlink1971!

Can you let us know which carrier you have for your SGS2? That would help us direct you to the proper S2 area so you can get more views and hopefully replies.

Thanks!

Hey Sherrie!

Welcome to our AndroidForums .

Sorry to hear about your camera issues .

In your Settings app, under About phone and then Status is the "Network" information that should tell you the name of your carrier.

Best of luck!

Sherrie,

UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and implies that you have a GSM device (i.e., vs. a CDMA device), so you could be on several networks (but not Verizon).

Who do you pay your bill to? (that might tell you your carrier the best).

Also, there are a few Android apps that might help you identify your carrier:

Also, who did you purchase the phone from (i.e., which retailer)? You might have a warranty with them vs. the carrier that might help you resolve your issue.

Hope that helps!
