Galaxy A7 Camera Photo Has Vertical Lines
Problem: I am having issues with my camera in that about 70% of my pictures (included also in the viewfinder when focusing my picture) there is a vertical line that runs the entire pane right of center. It’s like a line of empty pixels. Only in camera mode, I did a diagnostic and it only appears on the rear camera. Software is update and I’ve tried rebooting
Solution: The first thing you should do in this case is to check if the problem is caused by an app you downloaded. To do this you have to start the phone in Safe Mode then take pictures in this mode. If the vertical lines issue does not occur then the problem could be caused by an app you downloaded. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.

Problem: Hi, I recently purchased a Samsung galaxy A7. Over the last couple of days, the front facing camera has refused to work, displaying “warning – camera failed” every time I open it. the camera on the back works, just not the front. I have tried every troubleshooting method i can find from clearing the cache to eventually factory resetting the phone, with no luck. Is there anything else I can try?
Solution: If a factory reset fails to fix the problem then it’s very likely that the front camera module of the phone is defective. You will need to have this checked and possibly replaced at a service center.
