Hi all, the camera on my Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 was working the first day I got it, I installed a few apps, and uninstalled a few as well. The second day I tried the camera, a 'warning - camera failed' window appeared. Since then I have tried a factory reset and I have also upgraded the firmware from eclair 2.1 to froyo 2.2 using Kies. My camera still does not work, can someone here advise me? I live in Trinidad in the Caribbean and the phone was purchased online and shipped to me. There is no Samsung office in Trinidad.
same thing happened to me... had to send the phone back for repair.
If you have rooted try this:

Delete/rename the old camera.apk from /system/app/ and put the hacked camera to same folder.

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem with my Galaxy S, I'm noob w/ Android. I read many users(not from here) saying that Lagfix really does a difference in performance, excited, I downloaded GST(Galaxy S Tweaker) and without root, instaled lagfix.
Now my Galaxy S is working, BUT, the home button stopped working and the back button is working as home button, also the camera stopped working, the touch became horrible, I can only connect to computer using Debug mode and everytime that I turn on the cellphone, appears I9000B and before appear the S logo it changes to I9000.
There's something that I can do?
I'm really desperate and don't care if lose data. I only wanna my Galaxy S working as it should be.
Eh. What's the name odd your device. Sounds like you installed lag fix for the international sgs
Sent from my GT-I9000
reflash it back to stock or flash another ROM made for the I9000 or I9000M instead of USA variants
hi,
i recently flashed my camera firmware using the code *#*#34971539#*#*
now it is not working anymore. i cant do anything when i open the camera app and short time later there appears "camera error" (german: kamerafehler)
does anybody know what i can do? i also tried older firmwares and flashed the camera again but it is still not working anymore.
is there any possibility to fix this? or do i have to send it to samsung?
thx in advance!!
What made you update the firmware? from what i've read and been told you should NEVER update it as it will break it. You found that out. Sounds like you will need to flash down to stock rom and return to samsung
i decided to bring it back to the service partner. i tried JM1 and updated with kies to froyo 2.2 now. is it normal that my kernel is named: [email protected] now or is it because i rooted it in earlier times? i removed the root before i flashed the fm1.
thx in advance.
yes, it is normal that kernel name is [email protected]
at least mine original from box have got similar name

Try flashing it using KIES. You can get the KIES registry spoofing tool here:

If you choose NEE in the spoofer it will download Gingerbread.
Camera not workin on Gingerbread (any 2.3 ROM)
Hello,
I have the same problem.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000
No Brandings
No Locks
O2 Germany SIM
16 GB external SD
On any 2.3 ROM I flash my "main" camera is not working.
I tried Cyanogemod, DarkysRom, MIUI, Hamsterbread and official Samsung 2.3 Release via Kies.
Always the same Result:
- On non Samsumg ROMs the Camera Apps don't even start. They exit with a Camera Failure Error.
- On Samungs ROMs the Camera App starts but stays with a black Screen. The Front (Face) Camera does work just fine. But the "main" Camera does not show anything. When I try to take a picture or switch to video-mode: The application freezez. Next time I start the CameraApp I get a Camera failure error.
Flashing back to 2.2 (Froyo) - Everything works just fine.
Before I start playing with Camera Firmware Stuff I wanted to ask if someone has a safe way to solve this problem.
many thanks in advance.

Hi,
we have a new SGS (everything stock from T-Mobile, i think it is JPY). I tried to connect the phone with out Exchange 2003 server without success.
There comes a message that i have to accept a Samsung EULA. If i do this, the connection fails.
On my own phone (private with Darky ROM RC6) i had not such problems. There is also no Samsung EULA.
Has anybody a idea?
kind regards
srkonus
I just flashed 15 Samsung Galaxys for a customer. Stock JPO(2.0, most *new* phones have that as stock) wont work with Active Sync for some reason (same problem pattern like you have), however, JPY (2.2.1) should work flawless.
Check it by typing *#1234# into the dialpad. It should tell you, what version you have.
Thanks for your answer. I hope to get the phone back on monday and then i will have a look.
You can also use SG2 Email.apk
delete original email.apk with SGS tools.
download new one, install it.
Then use root explorer and move the installed E-mail.apk from data/app to system/app.
restart the phone.
Finished
Hi fomax,
thanks for your answer. Rooting and changing apk files is no opinion.
Hi,
I'm running a custom rom on my note..I installed Beats Audio Pro app on my phone and after i installed it,I immediately uninstalled it but after i restarted my phone did an app check and update and after that my camera stopped working and it gives me the camera failed message and the phone immediately re-starts and this happens everything I open the camera.
I need some help please!
Thanks!
Try to reflash Your ROM without wiping data. This should help.
Sent from note, a phone like never before
