Hi guys, got a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 16gb, running RyanZA's OCLF on 2.2 froyo. took a look at the similar threads, couldnt find anything which worked, or a problem similar to mine. Getting a problem with the camera, when i open the app, the camera shows me the image, unlike others with the green or black screen issue, but when i click capture it says warning: camera failed. Now i tried switching to the camera on the front of the phone to see if i got the same issue, which to my surprise i didnt, and i am able to use this one and take pictures, but not with the camera on the back.
I don't have Fringe installed, or google goggles, tried uninstalling skype but that didnt help.. Any ideas? Also have Whatsapp, but dont think this could be causing the problems?

go in your settings and go tp applications go to manage apps click all apps look at your camera firmware see how many kb you have? i only have 4.00 and my camera not working my wife has 20.00 hers works fine

interesting.. My camera application shows 0.00B, but yet it still works as it takes videos
took it back to Vodafone, the guy took a look at it and said I needed a new camera installed, he ordered the part and should be getting fixed on Friday. Fairly sure this isnt a hardware problem, but hey if it gets fixed under warranty.. I'm happy
FOUND A FIX:
UNDO OCLF lag fix, apply the voodoo lagfix, available in a handy little app from the android market. This reformats the EXT2 into an EXT4 partition, and somehow, for some reason, it fixed my phone. Which is AWESOME!
apply voodoo lagfix, makes the phone way faster and camera capabilities are fully restored
voodoo fix helped my friend solve the problem, thanks!

mine says Camera 0.00B and Camera Firmware 0.00B
so I got # warning camera failed message on a 1 week old SGS
in the meanwhile I did some research and
find some Camera.apk and Camera Firmware.apk but can NOT install them
How pretty please
Hi Guys,
I am also facing the same problem. The last date i took the picture was on 01-March and i tried today but got the message "Warning: camera failed". As soon as i launch the camera, i can see the images in the camera but when i click to take the picture, i am getting the warning message. same issue is with video recording as well. but the front camera works fine.
Last week, i rooted my phone using "CF-Root-JPH-v1.1" and i believe the problem has started from there. Below are my phone details.
Baseband version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWJPH
PDA: I9000XWJPH
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I0000OXXJP9
I am sure this is not hardware issue since other Apps which uses camera works fine. can somebody help me to fix the camera issue. Is there anyway i can un-root?
Not meaning to pile on CF-Root, but I also applied CF-Root-JPH-v1.1 a few days ago and now see the same issues. Camera is 0b and Camera firmware is 0b. The only thing I have to add is I have been trying to flash clockwork recovery mod unsuccessfully.

I have had some recent problems with my Nexus and I think its seriously broke. I am hoping someone can help as I couldn't bare sending this back off to HTC or Google for repair because I'm living now at Saudi Arabia!
I.m using CM 7.1.0
my phone is nexus one with SLCD and never fall down I just bought it new from Amazon about 5 months ago
Main Problem
The camera is unresponsive.
Whenever I click on the camera app the live wallpaper in the background freezes, then the phone turns black and when I press the backup or home button the below error message comes up:
Sorry
Activity camera (in application Camera) is not responding
Force Close / Wait
Other problems (maybe related...)
-My camera flash will turn on randomly,
-My phone will turn off when i make calls the screen will go all black and not let me do anything unless i take off the battery
-The phone has been running with too much hot when this problem has started.
-Also, I have had what seems excessive batter useage i.e. fully charged overnight and unplugged at 7am, battery dead by 10 am.
Recent efforts
I have re-flashed the CM and did a data and cash wipe and tried a new cm build
I have factory reset the phone 3 times
I have removed the memory card
I have swapped and used a friends memory card
, but nothing!
so please help me ... if its a hardware problem please advice a site for me to buy new parts
First thing I would do is a full wipe of the phone. This includes manually wiping the /system partition and then performing a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. From there, reinstall CM and gapps and see if you problem is still there.
If you need to back up apps and app data, you can use a program like Titanium Backup.
Also, what is your radio/baseband version? You can find it in Settings -> About Phone.
I am getting the same problem.
I have a alogcat log output if it is helpful in working out what is causing this / fixing it
You can try and see if the logcat has any info that can help with it, but typically, they don't put out too much information that would help in diagnosing it. I would still recommend wiping the phone.
Have completed a full wipe as described above with no success.
Baseband version: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04

Is this after restoring your apps? Because a clean install with gapps typically yields a 1-2% battery drain (or less) per hour.
Did your camera just stopped working one day?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
sorry I just get back from work trip
I wiped /system also and flashed the radio again which is 5.08.00.04
but no success
it just happened like that, my nexus one never fall down
What do you have your clock set to? My camera would FC also but its cause it was overclocked to high, i put it to MHz and now it runs smooth
I tried overclocked and underclocked but nothing
Idont know what happened, but everything seems that has been fixed by itself
No more battery and heat issues
No more drop calls
No more black screen
But the camera and flashlight problem still not fixed

Camera not working on Android 2.3.6
About 2-3 weeks ago the Android 2.3.6 update came over the air.
I have had a couple issues:
1. Camera does not work at all, no picture taking, no gallery
When I try to take a picture an error message pops up with 3 buttons:
Sorry!
Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding.
[Force Close] [ Wait ] [ Report ]
2. I just downloaded TripIt and it will not "stick" to the home screen when I try dragging it there.
Anybody with a solution?
I think you've flashed a wrong kernel. Non-working camera and fast battery drainage are common in kernel problem.
Hi,
I have a persistent problem with my camera with the MiniCM7-2.1.8: it simply doesn't work.
When I start the camera, the interface comes in, but where you are supposed to the picture, everything is just black. Then the the camera app force closes. The camera worked a while with MiniCM7-2.1.6, then the problem appeared suddenly and nothing seems to solve it (full wipe with MiniCM7-2.1.6, MiniCM7-2.1.7 and MiniCM7-2.1.8., several times)
The camera doesn't work with third party camera apps either
I don't want to change this rom, for this is by far the most outstanding in my opinion, but it would be great to have a camera.
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Mine camera working fine! which version of Kernel and MiniCM7 are you using? aNa kernel+ROM?
Problem
Hi, I'm from Venezuela and I have a problem, the rom works perfectly but does not work the camera button to take the picture and must be from the screen ...
also has some problems in the status bar but they are minimal, really good is my first report I want to thank you for making my phone I marvel more and more by large developers like you ...
Hi saintckk,
Now I am using nAa 10, but I had the same problem with 8b an 9 as well. I am kind of out of ideas what might have caused this - as I said, I tried several fresh installs and full wipes.

full wipe
flash minicm7 2.1.8

Thank you, will try this tomorrow.
Hi hetunandu,
I've tried your method, but my problem seems to be hardware related - camera is not working even with stock 2.1. Anyway, thank you for the suggestion!
I've tried browsing the forums, and even locating the post talking about the fix for the camera, and I simply can't find it. I really don't want to go without a phone seeing as my job requires my phone, but it really sucks not having a camera or a flashlight toggle.
I've seen some people that have indicated its a physical issue, however, it sporadically starts working again. Note: I would like to avoid doing the super data wipe as I'm also having computer issues at the same time. If someone needs me to post a catalog, I will need help Learning what to filter out in order to upload only the necessary info.
I've tried wiping the data through twrp advanced wipe, and of course the dalvik cache has been wiped many-a-time. Any help would be appreciated!
Um...I don't think you even explain you problem. Might want to elaborate a bit.

No matter what ROM I use, no matter what camera I try to install, I cannot get it to consistently work. More often than not, cannot connect to camera. I feel like its a setting or file sticking on the "SD card" that is interfering. I also cannot use the flashlight toggle, and parts of Google+ and gallery crash at times. This has been intermittently occurring since my first flash. Blissful ROM v1.7 twrp 2.8.4.0
Tried every wipe except for the one that makes me type yes. I've already flashed boot.IMG to disable decryption, and I'm starting to think that may have something to do with it.
I was under the impression I had twrp 2.8.4.0, but after double checking, it looks like it was stuck on 2.8.2.1. I flashed the newer version from twrp manager, and now my camera is working. I didn't do anything other than install the new recovery. And yes I've tried rebooting my phone in the past. This may be a temporary fix, but I'll report back tomorrow on whether it is still working. This is very odd.
Andddddddd it stopped working again. Super legit.
Might be similar to my issue.
My camera started only showing front facing..even the option for back facing wasn't there. Did wipes in recovery and app settings. Would work, it seemed, but would revert right back to not working. At one point the camera app wasn't appearing in the app drawer at all even though it was shown in "all apps".
This occurred on stock and custom ROMs. I was advised to try flashing factory IMG but I'm well within the warranty period ( phone less than 2weeks) so I'm locking it back up and have a replacement on the way from ATT...
* I also noticed the issue starting while I was on bliss ROM 1.7

My camera is really shaky and won't focus correctly in landscape mode. I returned the first phone I had for basically the same thing because it wasn't focusing in portrait mode but looked fine in landscape. I haven't seen anyone else have this issue. At first I thought the camera was inconsistent but if you zoom in you can see that it doesn't focus properly.
I'm starting to wonder why there are so many people experiencing the same or similar camera issues. The only reason I'm starting to think that it is software based and not entirely hardware based is because I was having this same issue (cannot connect to camera) on my sgs5 with cm based Roms.
I'm not saying any of this makes sense, its just strange. I wish we could help troubleshoot what the root of this problem is instead of just RMAing the device. I'm afraid to RMA with T-Mobile.
you better do it before its too late. id rma it.

There is no sdcard.
Try going back to factory sysimage, and data wipe.
Are you using any "added in" camera software? If so, what?

Similar issue. Get errors "Unfortunately, camera has stopped" or "cannot connect to camera." I picked up the phone right before a 2 week vacation so unfortunately I can't bring back to AT&T. Hopefully Moto plays nice. Problems originally occurred on stock 5.0 before the 5.0.1 update. Since AT&T was lagging on OTA, I flashed to the official BlissPop rom but I have the same problems. Sometimes it'll work like it's supposed to for a couple days but always reverts back to the errors. Nothing like being at the top of a mountain in Hawaii and "cannot connect to camera" right????Since I've read about this happening on so many different firmware variations, I have to believe it's a hardware issue.
I have only had issues with the stock camera app. Ive been running Pure Shamu for 2.5 weeks now and only using the Google Camera app from the play store (the one with HDR+ and the icon has the lens filled with rainbow colors) with absolutely no issues and only getting excellent quality pictures.
Had the issue where the camera wouldn't focus and everything on the screen gets jiggly and wavy like there's some sort of interference. I had motion sickness looking at the screen. Called Moto for an advance replacement and after a week of delay due to stock issue...somehow they were kind enough to upgrade me to a CW 64gb model. I hope it's new and no more camera issues.
Has everyone who got the 'no-focuse OIS' issue gotten new phone on RMA?
I took mine to repair few days ago and they said that they won't give me a new phone instantly, rather they try to fix the OIS. Not sure how that is going to work..?
They also suggested that this issue might be "self inflicted" or just an "feature" of the camera itself. fml.

I returned mine to stock, unroot/locked boot loader, factory reset, before shipping it off and the camera issue was still there. Maybe hardware related I'm thinking.

Something rather peculiar Ive noticed...
I didn't really pinpoint this until today, but the camera very consistently starts working when you go into fastboot, load the recovery, and then boot into system. I'm really, sincerely not quite sure why this would be happening, but I still feel like it has something to do with boot.IMG
If any devs can point me in the right direction to try and track down the possibility of this being an issue, I'd love to potentially fix a bunch of people's camera issues (albeit there is probably also a hardware defect direct from moto).
Is logcat going to pick up on issues that originate from boot?

Not the issue I'm explaining though. This is a bit more deeply seeded of an issue. When I boot directly into the ROM, my twrp installer says I'm back on 2.8.2.1, but when I boot into fastboot and then twrp, and then ROM, it says 2.8.4.0 and my camera works. This is legitimately weird as ****.

It appears a bit more stable now. I tried flashing twrp from my computer and it seems to be a bit more nice. That and normal reboot to twrp doesn't say 2.8.2.1 - let me check twrp manager now.
And my camera and flashlight have worked for almost three days now. Dafuq.
Same issue. "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped."
No flash light available, only front camera working, clicking on HDR exits the app with the aforementioned error message.
Has anyone solved this issue?
I was on 5.1 stock (with root) and now I've updated to 5.1.1, but with no change to the Camera behaviour.
Hi.
Everything was fine, but i started to have issues with my camera in the last week. The camera app closed every time i tried to open it.
At this time, my phone was in the last version of the stock rom. I tried to install the CM 11 (FXP rom... i was already wanting to test this rom, so i tried it to see if the bug disappears) but it doesn't work, except for the first time that i used the camera in the new rom. The apps that use the camera (whatsapp, snapchat, etc...) are also having this issue. The front camera is fine (despite that i can't select it before the camera app closes).
I tried some things, such as clear the data/cache, restart the phone, force the camera to stop working, use the apps "restart camera" and Camera (CM fix) and nothing works.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me.
Thanks!
ps: sorry for possible errors in my post. My english isn't very good.

Seems like a hardware issue, try giving the phone a light knock at the back also see what Xperia Diagnostics says for the camera test. If it still persists you may be better off contacting Sony support/forums.
Btw do you have an unlocked bootloader?
