Ungenuine Camera Message:

Is this a perviously-owned device? Did you ever get the camera replaced? You should contact the seller or the person(s) who performed the replacement, and have them place a genuine camera in there. See Here: About Genuine iPhone Cameras - Apple Support.  They should have known better.
