    So if you close the camera app and reopen the app it works fine again? What OS

    Before you take it back try security wipe. If you say the camera works then it sounds like a software issue

    I see a screen snapshot, but no pictures from the camera. A screen snapshot is not from the camera. It is an internal graphic capture done with an app in the operating system as like with a PC computer.

    What exactly do you mean when you say "switch camera?"

    The front lens shows up like how i have in the active frame in the picture above and what i mean by switch camera is from the front lens camera as opposed to the back lens camera and thats the big problem if i have the camera open it WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TAKE A PICTURE OR A SCREEN SHOT OF IT, NOTHING WORKS...
    But the front lens camera works perfect no issues
    These are the screenshots i took again because it shows a preview of what it last was showing when minimized
    With front lens

    Worst case scenario is that the censor in the front camera is broken. I had the exact same thing happen to a digital point and shoot camera.
