Hey guys,
Not sure anybody met this problem before.
My camera just happen to restarting when I open it. Last time it works fine and now it's like this. I didn't change anything in the system or install any software. Just restarting. To be specifically, when I entered the camera, camera vision shows, then screen black after 1 second and vision comes back. It repeats again and again. But, if I switch to cam record during the vision appears, the cam recording function works good.
Not only the camera app, but other apps involving a camera function like barcode scanner, google shoppers, the camera restarting again and again.
Anybody knows what's going on?
Doesn't sound like software problem. I suggest take it to the service center for replacement.
My camera has stopped working all together, every time I open the camera or camcorder app, it quickly flashes the icon and then either returns to the home screen or it hangs on a black screen. Although our problems are different, I wonder if other people are having troubles with their cameras. I have done a hard reset and it still doesn't work, so mine also seems to be a hardware issue and I will be returning mine shortly, perhaps you should do the same.
stupid question probably: have you tried a reboot? and i mean a real reboot.
Disable the fastboot or pull the battery, maybe it helps maybe it doesnt.
If thats not going to work i would say: factory reset and if it still doesnt work its time for the service center.
it can also be that there are some faulty images/files on your sd-card so if you have a spare, try that one
I had the same issue with my camera, starting with the logo and then only black screen. Other apps using the camera like Barcode scnanner had the same issue. After contacting HTC they told me to remove the battery for 30s and then reboot. That did the trick for me and the camera went back to normal.
Came across similar problem with a HTC desire, turned out to be the sd card having a fault! Not sure why but when replaced SD card the thing worked great as it should. Just a thought for you but a hard reset and battery out for a minute or two could help.
Ty for the tips guys, will remember them, I learn something new everyday in here haha.

Try resetting the camera to factory default....
wipe it !!!!!!!
I had this problem, but restarting it solves it.
i think i know how 2 fix it...it is a weird roundabout solution
-goto ur gallery
-select the latest photo you have taken from your camera(or basically any photo taken from your mobile will work)
-here`s the tricky part...long press the photo,and select "show on map" from the menu
-let the mobile take its course using the maps installed on ur phone(it should take 2-3 mins max depending on ur speed of course)
-u r DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! the camera should work just fine now
***** what happens is that the photo tries to tag itself from the location involved which sends it 2 a continuous loop hence the camera stops working*****
if any queries,PM me

Works but only 1 time...now the front camera can't function
wipe and install new rom
if software problem
Boot into recovery
wipe cache and Dalvik Cache & reboot
If it is a software problem, ie. if it was working earlier, should revert back to working condition!
Old thread, I know, but might help someone
Cheers!
try removing battery for 30secs, then reboot

Have you got a custom ROM or the stock ROM?
As poeple keep aksing the same questions over and over again in the official CM10 thread I tought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated bug thread. I will try to maintain the first post as good as possible. It should give you an overview of bugs and workarounds.
Following are known bugs with workarounds:
Slow charging bug
Restart phone with cable pluged
Battery drain on wifi
In advanced settings of WLAN don't choose the option to keep activated always the wifi
Apollo chrashes
Clear cache and data of appollo app in "manage apps" menu
Noise during Call, muted mic
Use a CM Rom for the new bootloader
Following are known bugs withouth workarounds:
Voice/Video call in Gtalk doesn't work (FC)
Panoramic photo mode chrashes somtimes
only continuous autofocus in videocam
notification bar isnt able to be tranparent, even with themes
no CRT on/off animation
non selectable pieces in enrgy-switch-widget
Bluetooth is loosing connection
Camera flash does not work without tapping-to-focus before hitting the shutter
No face unlock
HDMI output is rotated by 90 degree
Fixed Bugs
Screen turning randomly turning on (CM 1105)
Headset button works. This concerns those who use a proper Android headset that has a button for answering calls and pausing music. (CM 1105)
Other things to know
No LED Notification. This is actually not a bug. It is a feature which is not implemented yet.
Voice/Video call in Gtalk doesn't work (Gtalk gets FC'ed).
There is already a post maintained in another thread (can't tell which one) with an exhaustive list of known bugs, but I've only got these (as far as I know), gtalk and no audio in call.
screen randomly turning on. happens much more with wifi on, like constantly, but now i changed to 1105 nightly, so ill see if this is gone or not.
every time after rebooting phone resets «vibration + sound»... after reboot: only sound (no*vibration)

I don't think it's a sdcard problem as I do not have any issues with the sdcard. Sometimes I am able to shoot Panorama fotos. Somtimes I am not.

What did you have on?
If you left it with wifi on it kinda makes sense it charged really slowly... if you believe that wifi is that enormous battery drainer everyone says it is (since I flashed v30a BB I have a battery life very similar to what I had with CM7, which was pretty good).
Flash light in photo camera is not working for me even when set to flash on.
With other camera apps it works. Can someone confirm?
My phone having randomly BSOD's.
Phone won't wake after sleep, have to take out battery. I have noticed some others have reported this in CM10 thread..
Bluetooth often does not connect to my car handsfree right away and often I have to turn BT off then on again on the phone to connect.
Bluetooth calling often gets cut off mid-call or briefly interrupted by waterfall noises.
Camera flash does not work without tapping-to-focus before hitting the shutter. Also the viewfinder lags a lot.
Whenever a new nightly is flashed on, it tends to disrupt the Bluetooth settings and force me to manually delete and repair.
The touch buttons don't light up during a notification when the screen is off (they used to in CM7).
Caller id, hidden number not functionnal in phone parameters / additionnals settings

Would help a lot if all of us shared the ROM version because some bugs are ROM related.
With 1107:
No face unlock
No full size panorama
Only continuous autofocus in videocam
Camera flash does not work without tapping-to-focus before hitting the shutter
Other bugs are not important to me so far.
Camera flash works for me,you need to turn that in options,works in cm and 4.2 camera

got the same problem. Really annoying.
Only solution i found is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674661
But i really don't want to do it, upgrading to the newest nightly and checking if the problem persists.
Edit: Updated it per CM-Updater (the one in "About the phone") and it's working great now, no random lightening up)

The problem is becoming more frequent. I noticed this:
After the camera stops working and the application asks to be closed, i need to wait just a few minutes for the application restart to work, but only for 1/2 photos. Only restarting the phone is the solution. I can use the camera for dozens of photos with no problem, then suddenly during the day, it only takes just one to block the camera. :crying:
With the first fw release i never had any problem.
This freezing is caused by focus sound, causing mediaserver to be stuck in loop.
It is connected with Bluetooth usage.
For example on my T, I am using BT car radio and when I drive somewhere and want to make some photo after that, even if BT is already disconnected, camera hangs when trying to focus twice and in log, I can see mediaserver running in loop. Camera must be force closed and mediaserver must be killed. Killing mediaserver wouldn't be such pain, using terminal, if it wouldn't have different PID everytime it's killed and if it wouldn't slow down the phone so much.
I hope I wrote it clearly.
You could also (provided you have root access) change you build.prop, changing
ro.camera.sound.forced=1 to 0.
If you change this a new option will be available in your camera app giving you control if shutter sound is on or off

Yes, but do you know what? No sound of focus or shutter is provided by nosound.m4a file. So this is not the solution.
Thank you guys. So how do we solve the problem in the easiest way possible? And why not all xperia t haven't this defect? Why doesn't it show up in the first fw? It 's very boring this defect in a phone where the camera is the first feature. I can not restart the terminal each time after taking a single photo only.
I am trying to find some solution...
i'm sure this is a issue of the new fw. I made many many photos with the last release and never happened. But why? And why only
few peoples are speaking about this?

You don't needa nosound file because it just turns it off. I use it myself and I can tell you this works and my camera never crashed on me.

As i said, problem was solved after changing location of saved pics to ext-sdcard.
absolutelly not. From the first time i started up the phone, the ext-sdcard was the location for my saved pics (i never saved my pics into the internal memory) .I tried to change and to re-set....but nothing is changed. Solution has to be found in an another way.
Here is some workaround for the mediaserver causing camera to freeze problem -
- http://d-h.st/TmT
It's SemcCameraUI with changed shutter tone stream type from "system enforced" to "system" (now shutter tone is turned on/off with global sound settings) and it looks like that the camera is not freezing anymore, but it needs some testing by anyone else with this problem.
Does it need the root to install?
Yes, it does.
Sony has to solve this issue. I think the "minor update" after the .195 was to solve this also. May be?
Could be possible. I am on .197 and I have no problems

Hi, my back facing camera does not work suddenly.
The only camera working is the front facing camera. there is no option to turn the camera around to use the back facing one. I have tried other apps but there are no options to do so.

download google camera from the app store, that's what i did. i think the factory camera app is buggy

Problem with frontal camera
I have a similar problem with the frontal camera, it shows a black spot, I tried the Google Camera as well and it's the same thing, I unlock the bootloader and I'm not sure if my warranty will be validated.
Any suggestions?
I'm having the same problem, now about 3 days after rooting. Is this a coincidence, or did I mess something up? The only modifications I've made with root are the XPrivacy and Gravitybox Xposed modules. I haven't made any camera tweaks and made sure all the permissions are available in Xprivacy.
edit: Tried clearing the cache; didn't help. Went back and looked at Xprivacy's Usage Data, and found that even though I hadn't disabled any specific permissions for the moto camera, a top-level toggle was switched on. Turning this off fixed the issue.
I've had a similar issue where HDR on crashes Google camera and stock cam. Turning it off fixes it, but I'd like to use HDR.
Anyone else?

I am having the same problem - back camera suddenly stopped working, but the front still does. Tried uninstalling updates to the stock camera app, clearing cache (through recovery as well), installing other camera apps (Google Camera), and even booting into safe mode (3rd party apps disabled). No luck.
I'm not even rooted, nor have I tried. Anyone else have this problem/solve it/have other suggestions? Appreciated. Rather not send in for a full device replacement, if I can avoid it.
Same here

It seems to have, in fact, solved itself (I think with one of the Camera app's updates, but it's hard to say for sure). It went back and forth for a while, but it has been stable for the past few weeks.

Same here. I contacted Motorola and they are replacing the phone under warranty. Their support rep ran through the standard cache clear/default app/etc steps and then issued an RMA. It's currently on its way to Texas. I wonder what kind of warranty the replacement phone will have.

So I performed a factory reset and it still didn't fix it. A day later it randomly worked for 2 hours, then went back to no working. Maybe there is a loose wire or connection in it? I'm going to try calling Motorola for a replacement. I'm assuming I just call their standard customer service number?
this really seems to be a problem. i managed to get mine back for a while on my first Turbo by FXz'ing, but eventually it crapped out again. Hopefully Lollipop will have a better camera app whenever it finally comes out.

Front Facing Camera and Flashlight works perfectly, well if I open a camera app, the flashlight would sometimes stop working completely and can't turn it on from the quick settings till I reboot my phone. Tried factory resetting, clearing cache, flashed another ROM all with no luck. It worked perfectly last week and all of a sudden stopped working when i was trying to take a picture. I'm thinking it's a software issue because of the flashlight problem, but i'm not to sure yet.
Anyone can help? The same thing happened on my Nexus 6 camera ??
