iOS 8.4 rear camera freezing

Hi everybody,

Is anyone else having this same issue where the iPhone 5S rear camera freezes or does not respond (showing a black screen) on iOS 8.4.

The camera does not work on any of the other apps that uses the camera, such as Instagram, Whatsapp, and even iMessage.

I have tried switching the phone off and on, resetting the phone (hard reset), clean restore to no avail.

If anyone has successfully solved this issue, please do share it with me.

Thank you.

Regards,

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4

Hi Pavlik. May i know which country you are at and what was done to conclude that a replacement is necessary?

I'm having the same issue!!!

My flashlight and camera stopped working after I upgraded to 8.4

I can see after reading these forums I am not the only one.

Apple please address!

DIdn't work for me

You need to restore all settings. Sync up. Then Perform an IOS 8.4 restoration. synch up again. Then install Awsome camera. Launch it once. It works

I've done a complete restore and Awesome Camera didn't work.

Let me say again this all started after upgrading to 8.4

Not cool....

Hi,

I've tried Awesome Camera and Retrico. Both options didn't work for me.

I hope apple comes up with a solution soon. This is getting on my nerves already.

Hi jrmocsir,

Thanks for this! I've never come across this support thread before.

I've tried all except the Authorize Service Provider. I guess i'll have to do that soon.
