Hi fellow SGC users,
Any has experienced this issue? When you put the camera into standby mode (power button, short press) while in the gallery app, the camera will reboot in a few minutes. Very weird issue and I can reproduce this. Everytime I leave the gallery app 'open' while going into standby, the camera will reboot itself. This is bad enough as it is by itself, but being careless and putting the camera back into your pocket will result in the lens being extracted while tucked away...
Any thoughts?
- Solved - update to the latest version toolkit and re-root did the trick

Hey guys and gals
Been reading these forums but this is my first post.
I can't post in developer section so this is the problem.
I installed FroyoMod 2.9 and now my camera button acts like volume button and I can't use camera button for taking photos.
It could be as simple as 'turn of this feature' but I tried everything including installing some other camera apps.
Thanks!
hate to bet the cynic here - but this happened prior to my phone effectively bricking (stuck in bootloader). could be a broken button?
software seems unlikely to me.
Don't think so because after i enter the camera app by clicking the on screen icon it works (camera button then works).
yeah, i never said it was your software, your software is probably fine.
your hardware ( camera button ) may be broken, though.
Doesn't seem to be much in here about problems with the camera. The editing function quite regularly locks up - and for reasons beyond me they keep the results of edits in a separate folder with no apparent way to change this. Also if you install Google Googles it crashes. Has anyone come across this?
Google Goggles working absolutely fine on my camera.
And as for problems, I haven't encountered any yet.

No problems here!!!!
Just wonder if anyone else encounter this issue.
I switch my SGC off (by pressing the power button) and put it in the case. A few hours later when I try to switch on by pressing the per button, there is no response until I press and hold the power button then the display turns on. However it shows the startup pictures and then a message stating sd card had been found and if I want to change the location to sd card etc. It seem that the camera had been rebooted. Anyone faces this issue? Is it got to do with me switching of 3G?

Same thing happens to me. The power issue I think happens because of a auto-shutdown feature of the camera, if you pay attention, you will hear the power off sound when you leave the camera on (screen off) for a while. The SD card issue I thnik happens every time the camera shuts down and is turned back on.

In the power panel in settings there is a setting for auto power off and for a fast power on feature. What you've experienced is both of those features in action.

Hey I would like to ask for you folks if your galaxy camera works well in action freeze. Mine was very dark when using action freeze. Every stock non rooted galaxy camera. Thank you very much.
I find that the original, stock Camera app as well as the JB 4.2 one, often causes my phone to hang up and I have to do 1 or 2 15sec hard reboots to clear it.
When the app starts, I can see the camera full screen live view but none of the buttons or menus. When this happens, I can't kill the app or escape to Home screen and have to re-boot the phone with a 15sec power button press. The phone will usually hang up at the Samsung spash screen the first time but will usually reboot properly on the second attempt.
I'm on the Ultimate JB XXLSC 5.1 ROM and understand that custom ROMs can sometimes have bugs. Just wondering if anyone one else is experiencing this and if there's a fix.
Thanks in advance.

Most of the time when I open the camera I have a 2-4 second wait for the app to open, anyone else? It does open but takes forever. If I have used it recently, within 10-15 minutes it is pretty snappy, 1-2 seconds at most.
I did install the google camera app but the problem predates that. It opens faster, but focuses slower so in usage it isn't any better.
At any given moment I may need 3-5 seconds to take a pic with either app. Certainly a 1st world problem but a nuisance when I want a spontaneous pic.
Anyone heard of this as precursor to the failed camera problem?
No that is not a problem.

My gf has exactly the same problem. I'm gonna try the following steps:
You might find that a simple restart does the trick. Hold down the Power button and select the Restart option. The problem may return.
Try going to Settings > Application manager and select the camera app. Tap on Force stop, Clear cache, and Clear data.
Try clearing the cache partition. Hold the power button and choose Power off then press and hold the Volume up key, the Home button, and the Power button. When the phone vibrates, release the Power button, but keep holding the other two. When you see the Android System Recovery screen you can let go. Use Volume down to choose wipe cache partition and press Power to select it then, when it’s done, press Power again to Reboot System Now.
There’s a chance that an app is causing the problem. Any app that uses camera functions, including flashlight apps, could be the culprit. The fast way to check this is to reboot in safe mode. Hold down the power button and select Power off then hold down the power button to turn it on again and when you see the Samsung screen come up, release the power button and press and hold the Volume down key. You’ll know it worked if it says Safe mode in the bottom left corner. If the camera works then it’s definitely a problem with an app you installed. Hold down the power button and choose Restart to get back out of Safe mode.
If you’re using a microSD card to save photos try removing it, save them elsewhere, and see if that makes a difference.
Back up anything important and try a factory reset via Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset.
Have you solved the problem yet?
It may or may not be related to this...

If it continues, exchange it for another S5.

I did clear the cache and I switched to internal storage. Also I uninstalled Google' camera app, which I thought would be neat but never used after 1st launch; it seems a little faster but I'll have to use it a few days to see. It may be my SD, as it is pretty old.
Safe Mode didn't effect any change.
I'd never tried to enter recovery on this phone and inadvertently entered Download mode instead. I blame my overly large fingers for it. Gave myself a moment of concern as I only see DL mode when I first root a device, almost 2 years ago for my last phone. I'd forgotten that the "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET" warning didn't mean much without Odin running.
If this isn't an indicator of a upcoming camera issue I'm not too worried about the lag, if it fails it has a warranty....

Yeah.. I mentioned that in OP. That problem usually presents as a "Camera has failed" message according to articles, there is no reference to any symptoms prior to failure.
Try going to Settings > Application manager and select the camera app. Tap on Force stop, Clear cache, and Clear data.

I'm also having the same issue, doing a restart or clearing cache/data on the camera app just fix the issue temporarily, after couple of days it gets super slow again.
I've also started to run into this issue. The camera will take several seconds to load, then freeze for a second or two. This happens after I haven't used the camera for a while. The gallery, however, always takes several seconds to load when launched from the camera. Both of these still happen whether the camera is set to store on internal memory or my microSD card.
Are there any solutions that anyone has found?

If I have the image stabilization turned on it makes my camera crawl too. Turning it off seemed to help, at least some.

This has really begun to annoy me, as the weather turns nicer here I find that I am using the cam more frequently and the delay is aggravating.
Clearing cache helps a little, and turning off Image Stabilization seems to have helped also. Still a few seconds longer than I like but better. This thing should open a major built-in app faster than it does, I think it did at first.
I may do a factory reset and see if that helps, if not I may seek an exchange from AT&T or Samsung...

I went to the beach recently with the Xperia Z1 C6903, and after coming back from the beach, the camera on the phone keeps on opening by itself.
I then decided to reboot my phone, through using the power off, turning it back on method, only to discover my phone is now in "safe mode", which disabled me from using my third party apps.
I then proceeded to search the web for a solution; using the clear cache (volume up + power button), and the red button inside the sim card slot, to which none of them worked.
After this, the phone sometimes cannot operate correctly, as the power button is sometimes disabled (as well as the volume down button). The power button issue can be fixed through the red button inside the sim card, however the volume down button does not seem to work.
I tried factory reset, nothing seemed to have happen apart from me losing all my data and apps.
I tried to flash the stock rom, which I have in place on my phone atm, again, through flashtool, but did not seem to get an answer as safe mode is still on, and the volume down button seems to be dead.
Upon further investigation, I realised that the camera function is also affected by the safe mode, as the camera cannot focus on objects, and the camera button on the Z1 is working, but cannot take a picture (can semi-press and use camera's flash via this way).
I am now leaving my phone to dry, assuming that there is still water inside the phone which is preventing the normal function of the volume down button as well as the camera (and sometimes the power) button.
If anyone has a solution, please respond, and :fingers-crossed: I may have this fixed without going to the Sony service store.
Never take phone to beach...Salt +metal= you know the combo
Try to flash full FTF to see if the software is the problems or just open the phone
Or send it to Sony..........
Shutdown the normal way, then turn on.
Safe mode will disappear.
Never heard that the phone were stuck in safe mode even after a full wipe.
i have the exact same issue ,is there any solution please ?
Same exact problem
I have exactly the same problem, if there is any way to help please post it.
