can you make camera firmware, or pull out from 2.3 android and post it
i was reading that this can fix camera, repair in service is pretty expensive here in Croatia, its 50-80 USD

First off THANKS!
With that being said i have an att galaxy captivate, i am trying to upgade to the latest firmware. I am currently running 2.2 froyo.
I downloaded kies, kies mini, kies air
I followed all the steps to allow sharing with my windows 7 pc
kies air recognizes my device but does not promt an update.
kies mini seems to only work with a data cable which I do not have... I know.
What am I doing wrong? Or is firmware updating only via usb?
Thanks Again
humble noob
you NEED usb cable

A lil more help if u please after installing latest gingerbread 2.2.5 i thnk
camera ics is now inverted. any help would be great or recommendation of a better camera app.... Thanks
If you are on gingerbread you should not have ICS camera, You should have gingerbread camera
I should have been more clear. Prior to the firmware update I installed camera ics app from google play. It worked like a charm after update to 2.3.5 I897uckk4 kernel 2.6.35.7 gingerbread.uckk4.
The cam was inverted, i uninstalled and then dl again reinstall and still inverted.
The gingerbread cam is on the device now along with the cam ics app, I kinda like the interface of the ics version
Thanks Eh!
Ok fed ex just brought my Straight talk sim card. phone is operational. changed apn looks good so far
Configured phone to straight talk apn
speed test very poor fastest 1.44 mbps down .026 mbps up
slowest .41 up .09 down
sorry for high-jacking my own thread but are thier any changes I could make to settings to achieve better results.
modems control data speed and voice quality. read about modems in development section (sticky). then start testing... to each their own you will learn.
ics camera *may* not be compatible with gingerbread... try some other camera apps, if it is just that one app contact the developer of that app.... but if he has a thread or website, read any info first so you arent telling him something that he knows or has explained already.

You're in the wrong section, here's the one for the I9000: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-i9000
Since I did a factory reset?! on this phone ages ago, only the front camera works.
I've 3 file flashed back to GB etc, can't get it to work. Does someone have a link to the camera firmware for me to flash please, or any ideas as to what the problem may be?
Thanks

You can find firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
These are also possible problems:
1) Your default camera.apk has an issue -- Try another camera app, such as fxcamera, camera 360, etc
2) Do you have other apps that use the camera? Like mirror or flashlight apps or something? It might be interferring. Actually it could be other apps interfearing too. I'd make a back-up and start uninstalling suspicious apps.
3) It could also be also a hw problem. Hopefully not.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply
It can't be the camera .apk or rogue app because its like that with different ROMs. I've got 3 fresh nandroid backups on my SD... Newest helly bean, newest x-bean, and my usual slim 2.7, and its the same with them all.. and I 3 file flashed GB and that made no difference either..
So I think like u say it could be a hardware problem, hope not... But I've got a feeling its the camera firmware. I've never regged with sammobile, cos its got one of those captcha things that I can't do by phone, so I never knew they had the camera firmware..
Going to register and try that, and I'll report back..

Registered for sammobile, but I can't find any camera firmware. I'm sure I've read somewhere that there is such a thing..
So unfortunately I'm still stuck until I find out if camera firmware does exist.. I'm sure I was told that a while ago there was an update camera firmware setting in the camera options in an old version of GB.
Or is there files or a folder in root that I could try overwriting with someone else who has a working cameras version????
Thx..

Hmm I also just looked for it and I couldn't find it either.
Google search didn't even give me 1 proper hit. So I'm suspicious if there is a specific firmware update for camera.
Interestingly I could find it for S3.
Kies should detect any needed firmware upgrades. Have you tried?
http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/smartphones/GT-I9000HKABMC-support
Good idea, something I've never ever used is kies. Definitely worth a shot, but I've got a feeling I'm gonna have to flash GB again before it will want to play :-/
Gotta be tried though so I'll need to do it. Failing that I think I'll buy a new camera module, just in case it is hardware...

hi bros!!!
days I have a problem with my camera and my cappy Galaxy s i897 ..
in GB and ICS goes black image! .. JB and 2.3.7 and the app closes and says: Unfortunately the gallery was to stopped.
I've done everything I've tried roms and nothing .. you buy the camera! Internet and install it and nothing .. jb sometimes at work but not now.
what he saw that some had my problem and updated the firmware of your camera .. the question is?? how to update the camera firmware of Captivate? or recommend I do?
please help me!
sorry for my english.
I did a downgrade right now to see q and nothing happened!
always stays that way! .. I leave the attached picture
http://i50.tinypic.com/2r5xdfp.jpg
I would do brand new install through Odin or heimdall via download mode
thereafter check camera module connection if re flash won't help
good luck
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
talk about a downgrade? and if that works then as I q?
first, you have to check whether it works or not
the best way to check it is to use brand new stock ROM via Odin or heimdall.
if the camera and phone works go and grab custom ROM of your choice.
if not, you have to check inner hardware...
good luck!

Either the camera you bought online is defective or the physical connection on the board is bad... Of course there's always the chance that the connectors on the board have some corrosion on them and if you cleaned them all would be better. Or you could have installed the camera upside down so it's just seeing the inside of the phone...
I clean the contacts on the card and is well connected the camera! .. I sold the cappy used, and it came with that problem, quisas previous owner modified the driver of the camera or something, I tried the camera on another cappy and it works.
Hey there, just sold my S4 for an S3 i9305 4G.
The ROM works great, except for the camera app crashing on launch.
When I dial *#34971539# all it says is CameraFirmware Standard, so I can't get the specific model of the camera hardware.
On Alliance ROM i was able to get the camera working, by flashing a stock kernel, going into the camera app, then flashing any custom
kernel and it worked from then on.
Unfortunately, The Galaxy Project is my ROM of choice, because it seems less buggy, but when I try the same trick, the ROM won't boot
with stock kernels...
How do I get the camera to work?
Help!!
i installed that ROM...for me didn't boot at all....(did full wipe and waited about 10 min)...
if you read the 2nd post from that kernel...CLICK HERE you will see that the developer says clearly that there is a bug with camera... and as you can see he lists there "Possible solutions"....those are not guaranteed to work...wait for him to find the bug...
i use OMNI ROM....camera works perfectly...
These solutions ARE guaranteed to work I have the same problem, so I just copied my SlimISP to external memory and use it if the bug occurs.
I have to use 4.1.2 becuase of GSM. (I cannot use 4.3/4.4 because it will connect to T-Mobile HSPA but not send/recieve data.) Camera will work on 4.3 and 4.4 easily. But, on 4.1.2 using stock deodexed, it won't start the camera. The camera just force closes. I am on the first firmware, too.

Yeah, I have even tried that.
If you sent your phone in for repairs or got it new post the camera fix then the camera module isn't backward compatable with some roms like miui u will not get access to the back camera

Hmm that shouldn't be happening. Kind of strange. A possible solution however, is to flash the latest firmware, but I'm not sure how that would react to the old Android version. So if you want to be adventurous, try that out. If not though, go to Sprint/HTC and get it fixed from them.
After using SVN checkout on that Sense 5 and 4.2.2 ROM, and installing it camera worked. But only the front facing one, and it had the pink tint (I fixed it by changing settings though). I tried replacing libs from newer ROMs and made it worse. So, I'm getting close.

I have the same issue that you did. I cannot upgrade my android version cause of GSM and my camera isn't working would you be kind enough to explain how you were able to fix it, I would really appreciate it, thank you
