Galaxy S Camera Problem

I recently updated my Galaxy S to v2.2 (JPH firmware) using Kies. I also rooted my phone using the relevant file and applied One-Click Lagfix V2.2.
I was very happy with it, except I tried using my device's main camera today and it doesn't work properly any more. Prior to the FW update, it worked just fine.
Now, each time I take a picture, the camera app appears to be working -- I can focus and so forth -- but once I press the shutter button, it seems to be processing and then I get a broken picture icon in the middle of the screen.
Unlike others in this forum, I don't get a "camera failed" message at all, just the broken icon.
I've read various posts on different forums as well as this one and have tried the following:
uninstalled OCLF,
switching from SD card to phone memory
re-flashing camera firmware
I'm not absolutely certain but I don't think it's the Camera apk because I tried taking a shot with the front camera and it works fine.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, what steps did you take to solve your problem?

they said they had to change my whole camera module (front and back cam and cam controller) to fix it. flash stock firmware they will do it by guarantee if you dont say anything about a camera firmware flashing..

Help - bricked the camera

Help - bricked the camera, need the original firmware
While playing with my new Samsung Galaxy i7500 android 1.6, I installed Anycut, and a shortcut to the "Camera firmware" activity. You can reach the same app by dialing the code *#*#34971539#*#*.
Once you launch the Camera firmware, there will be 4 menu entries:
update camera firmware in image - do NOT do this
update camera firmware in sdcard
get camera firmware version
get firmware update count
I chose the first option, and the phone took a while to (probably) flash something, then rebooted. After that reboot, the camera no longer works. It displays a black screen and force closes when I clicked any button, or the screen.
I've since flashed the H8 and G8 firmwares, the Fatal1ty mod, and did lots of factory resets. However, the camera is still broken, and other applications (e.g. SnapTell, Wikitude) can't use it.
If I click "get camera firmware version" in the Camera firmware screen, I get:
CurrentVer: A9A9
RecentVer: DBB6
I guess that this weird "Camera firmware" 'activity' flashed a crap firmware over the camera, which is somehow separate from the "entire" firmware. No matter how many ROMs I've flashed, the camera firmware was not affected.
Can someone please tell me how to get the original camera firmware?

[Q] Proximity Sensor defect

Hi there,
the proximity sensor on my i9000 isn´t working anymore. Everytime I place a call/get called the screen turns black and freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart it.
Testing the sensor on the LCD-test the screen turned green and the i9000 startet vibrating. Here, too only pulling the battery made it stop.
Here is what I tried so far:
- flashing different stock fw (Android 2.2 / 2.3.x)
- applied handicapped settings
- Using Proximity_Screen_Off App and Sanity-App on stock fw
- blowing air into the USB jack/vacuuming the jack
- opened the device to mechanically clean the sensor
All of the above failed!
The only way I can get it to work is when running android 2.3.7 Joker´s MiUi and run the Proximity_Screen_Off App.
Are there any other suggestions as to what can be tried?
Else I will have to get a new motherboard, because wouldn´t want to be restricted to using only one particular rom.
Any input is greatly appreciated
Thanks Christine

if i recall good (but kill me ive drinked some atm) the greensih issue was showing with voodoo color kernels and all the sensor peoblems came with badly assembled kernel.
so i would advice you to reflash pure 3 file firmware (repartition pit and all that jazz)
and if your sensors still would not work just reflash to your carrier or stock formware for your region and push it to repair center with proper dwscription (do no mentions miui or other crap)

Thanks for answering!
I flashed 3-part firmware, pretty much everything available and a CF-Root kernel.
So it couldn´t have been a bad kernel.
Can´t take it back to service, no warranty left.
I just flashed 2.3.5 and CF-Root and now I am fooling around with it some more.
I just think it´s weird that it would work with that and only that MiUi.

impossible unless youve got some other galaxy variaant than i9000

LG Optimus 2X - Rear Camera and Flash Faulty?

Hello all
Recently picked up a LG Optimus 2X - everything seems to be ok with it, however the 'rear camera / flash' doesn't work ?
Choose the camera settings from the menu, the camera app opens up, but the screen is black, won't pick any image up whats so ever ?
Choose the 'front facing' camera and that works ok as it should
I installed a flashlight app, to check the flash led and again the led won't light up ?
Anyone come across this before and what other checks / remedies can I carry out to possibly get it working?
Moreso whats the possible cause of it not working in the 1st place ?
There is the orginal latest stock rom on it V20L - GB 2.3.4 - unrooted
Carried out a few data / wipe settings to see if that cured,but didn't.
Thanks for reading.

try a factory reset....it should work.
or try to update with a LG update tool

Did that twice - recovery mode - reset / wipe data / clear caches / dalvik
Rebooted - same issue - rear camera blacked screen - no picture / front camera works !
Both camera lenses are free from dirt and blockage etc !
Sometimes the camera app freezes and force closes - suggesting it could be a software prob ?
Other Google Play camera apps have been tried with the same results.
The phone isn't rooted by the way now.
I did root and install two different versions of 'cm 7 and 9' roms with the updated 'camera' patch stock files that had been created for better results.
Same issues again, if there was a camera app or patch that I found that was for the rom I was using I used it.
However unrooted, fresh install of the original factory rom.
Used the LG updater windows program to see if there was an update, the program said the phone had the latest version - V20L - GB 2.3.4

Since you RECENTLY picked it up, I assume you have warranty.
If yea, just return it to the dealers.
If you want, you can try using custom ROM, but REMEMBER YOU MESS UP YOUR WARRANTY ONCE YOU ROOT THE PHONE so until you can be sure you can reverse it, just take the easy path and return it.

As I already mentioned in my last response yesterday, I have already tried 2 custom rom installations.
The CM 7 and the CM9 custom roms !!
The outcome when turning on the camera was exactly the same - black screen !!
Thus / thereafter reverting BACK to the original stock rom installation with NO root - for it to do exactly the same !!

i have the same problem, i even changed the back camera module with a new one from alibaba and it didnt help.i wonder could it be the main PCB card.
any ideas?

I think that the PCB is damaged if you even tryed different Roms I don't think that it is an software issue then. I will search a bit
