So I just bought a Galaxy Gear watch a few weeks ago and I just love it. The only problem I am having is that my camera stopped working about a week after I got it. Everytime I attempt to turn it on all I get is 15 seconds of black screen and then a message that says "Unfortunately the camera has stopped working" . I have already reset the gear twice and made sure I have the most recent update...neither of those fixed my problem. I have not been able to use it and was hoping someone here would have a miracle answer to help me fix the problem.
Try going to settings, app settings, then clear data/clear cache

Just recently, when I try to invoke S-Voice on my gear, it both gives me and reads me the message: "It looks like another application is using the mic. Please close it and try again".
Gear is running Tizen OS.
Phone is a GS4 running latest Hyperdrive Rom RLS19
Have not recalled adding any new apps that would effect this to my phone and certainly haven't added anything to the Gear.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? I assume this is related to the phone and something being open mic on it?
A side note: S-Voice via my phone works flawlessly and does not report this message.
Update: Ok, so I have determined that the 'sa-providers' fix eluded to on here for those of us afflicted with the massive force closes since Gear Manager updated last is the culprit. If I remove it with TIBU on phone and let Gear Manager re-install the latest version of it, I can get s-voice to function from Gear to phone again.
Major problem is, After about 30 seconds, sa-providers continuosly force closes every 2 seconds thus making the phone un-usable until you kill the BT connection to stop it. Tried clearing data for sa-providers, that fixes things for another 30 seconds to a minute and problem persists.
Any ideas folks?
Thanks
I am getting the same message when I try to use the s-voice on the watch to respond to a text. It has worked in the past.
I am not running any special rom nor have I rooted my phone or the gear
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5
Hi, just received delivery of Moto G 2 Gen. (2014). Tried testing the phone everything works fine except the front camera. When I launch the camera app, I'm able to use the primary camera as usual, but when I try to flip to front cam to use it, the app crashes with error message " Camera Error" "Please restart camera". When I tap Ok and relaunch it, its the same issue again. I tried to clear the app data, force stop it and even factory reset it.
Also tried updating the camera app to the latest update available version 3.3.20.8 but the issue is still there. I tried installing "Retrica" camera app and was able to make the front cam work only for a flash of second and it didn't work again.
Is this a glitch in the camera app or the software build or did I receive a defective device? Please let me know if I have to go for a replacement or shall wait for the software update. Any input or help is appreciated.
Attached a screenshot of the error screen. Thank you.

Front camera working flawless here! Whether your error is a software or a hardware failure is hard to say. My hunch is a software error: the driver of your front camera isn't running well. But as said, that's just hunch! You said you already did a factory reset of the whole device? Maybe you can add a logcat, so some developer can look into it (I'm not so good in reading logcats).
Otherwise I'd return my device and use the warranty to get a replacement!

Doesn't seem normal. I own the device and know 5 people with the same device, none of them have this issue. Get it replaced.
When i got the device (1 month ago) i had a similar problem, i restarted my phone and it had gone, never to appear again
try restarting your phone.
also, since u just got your phone delivered, check if u have a firmware update, since motorola released a firmware update a few months ago

Thanks for the input guys :good:, was contacted by flipkart.com the retailer for Motorala in India for a replacement. Getting the replacement delivered tomorrow.
I upgraded to a d6616 about two weeks ago, but over the past week I've been getting more and more messages that Xperia Home has stopped responding. Today it was bad enough that it was almost impossible to get past the lock screen before the message would come up again. Similarly I haven't been able to use the Walkman app since it just crashes every time it's opened.
Is there anyway I can trouble shoot and resolve this myself or am I best off wiping the data and swapping it out? *edit* I tried running the phone in safe mode as well and I still have the same problems so it isn't a 3rd party app causing problems.
Not sure if this is a GWR issue, but if I disconnect it, I don't seem to get the problem occuring.
I'm using it with an Xperia Z3, recently updated to lollipop. I keep noticing the phone and watch have the star icon, meaning it has flipped into priority mode. It is doing this spontaneously without me doing anything. Yesterday it seemed to be really bad - almost every time I looked - there was the damn star.
Is anyone else having this issue? Found anything to fix it?

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 ??
