Camera lock screen iPhone 5 not working properly after upgrade to iOS 8

I think the problem is to those they have MS exchange company email on their iPhones. In
that case you cannot disable the Lock screen password so to reset the figure prints.
That is why in some 5s the problem solved and in some others still exists.
Please verify me if you try it to reset the fingerprint if it works? And let’s
see if the ones we still have problem also have companies emails!

I have the same problem, I tried reset and restore my Iphone 5S 8.1, but it didn't work too.

Only after I had removed passcode the camera and control center work.

iOS 7 - no problem

iOS 8 - with problem

iOS 8.1 - with problem

I wait for solution

Something else is going on with your device then. I have a 5s with iOS 8.1 and my Control Center and camera all work from the lock screen no problem. I'm also using Touch ID and of course, with that my device has a passcode, so it is not necessary to remove the passcode for those two things to work.

I tried torn on only the passcode, without Touch ID, but I had the same problem. When my iphone is locked, is impossible use the timer, camera and calculator. Some times I had black screen or the wallpaper, without apps. If I open slowly the camera and touch the screen I can use camera, timer and calculator.

In my case, only disable the passcode I can use normal my iphone. 😟

If you have to worry about slowly opening this and that, then you need to restore the device. Something is wrong with the software.

I was able to solve it by changeing the iphone language and then back. It worked but i dont know why.

Hey buler, work for some minutes for me, but don't solve the problem.

I have an iPhone 5s and i have the same problem. I also have other problems that start as long as the issue with the camera button starts. For example if i am in the middle of a phone call and i get a second call, then the phone mixes up the two screens (the one of my current phone call, and the incoming). As a result both screens become unusable.

I have come to notice that the bug starts the first time i use the voice command to call someone from my phone book, or to call a random number. I don't use Siri because the language i use is Greek, and it is not supported.

It is definitely happening by this feature, because i have even tried that with my phone restored from iTunes, and formated as new iPhone. So no data prom my original phone was transferred.

Panos_Ner, i've noticed that problem too. When i use voice control (not siri) and make a call, and if my contact don't answer, when i try again my lock screen appear mixed with contact image and that call info (call time, buttons to change the output and speakerphone, keypad, etc).

I noticed this, only when i use my bluetooth headset.

The suggestion from leandropag worked for me, though the fingerprint advice was not needed on my iPhone 5. Thank you!

I had same problem on my iPhone 5 32Gb, after upgrade to 8.1.1. No Problems 😎

iOS 8.1.1 actually caused the problem to return for me, though it sometimes shows the home screen wallpaper/background instead of a black screen. Buggy. I'll try leandropag's workaround again.

...and to follow up on my previous post (I should have just waited), the workaround did indeed work again for me in iOS 8.1.1.

I can confirm that the problem for me is independent from e-mail accounts and all other stuff, because i tried restoring the phone and formatted it as a new iPhone without any account settings at all. Just like the phone that you get when you unbox it. The problem occurs the first time i use the voice command to place a phone call.

I also tested it with 2 other iPhone 5s and it happens in all cases.

It is definitely an iOS bug.

That's a good catch. I also saw the problem recur yesterday after posting that the workaround fixed it. I tested again today, and after making a voice command call, the bug is back. This is now identified and repeatable.
