Front camera is not working.

Hi
I recently bought the Xperia m4 aqua dual as I was pretty impressed by its stats on paper but there are a few issues that have to be solved. Firstly I cant use my front camera. There is no icon for the front camera even in the camera application and also in other apps like retrica. I tried clearing the data but it wasnt effective enough. It would be really helpful if you could Solve this as soon as possible.

Hello, RESTARTING IN SAFE MODE WORKS, but you should do this...

after you've entering safe mode open camera application, make one foto with rear camera (your front camera button is still missing) and delete this recent foto. Then restart your phone to normal mode. You will see, that camera with selfie button is OK.

This helps in case, if some application (wiber in my case) uses front camera in its setting to work with.

I had the same problem recently. After several messages with online chat they advised me to return for repair. They're working on it at the moment. Hope it doesn't take too long 🙂 seems a lot of users were also affected when this update was released.

I bought my M4 Aqua last week and yesterday front camera icon suddenly disappeared. I tried safe mode booting, clearing cache and PC Companion but problem still remains. I don't have time for go to Local Support. Any solution except those? Will marshmallow update fix that problem?
