Hi guys.
I have a g900a from AT&T. The phone was working perfectly until recently. Now the main camera fails again and again.
The flash works, and the secondary camera works as well. I tried factory reset, clear app cache, etc. Nothing works.
If the flash is working, does it mean the camera it might still be working and it is just a software problem? As I recall, I didn't install anything weird to **** up my camera. And even if I did, factory reset would have solved it, yes?
I have no clue what is the problem or how to fix it. Please help.
Thank you!

It just suddenly stopped working, my phone doesn't autorotate, apps that use the Accelerometer now obviously don't work. for example, my "bubble" app is stuck at 2 degrees x 3 degrees. i tried to restart my phone, and still doesn't work. is there anything i can try to do to fix it? or is there a way i can find out what the problem is?
Anyone know a solution?
same thing happened to me- try a wipe first and if that doesnt work try a wipe and a reflash.
wipe your phone the exact same thing happen to me. you can backup everything using mybackup pro

Hi,
I have the same problem on HTC Legend, got two of them - one for my wife. Curious - accelerometers on both stopped working approx the same time.
I wonder if this could be related to some update or application we installed.
So by "wipe" what do you mean? Probably deleting everything from the SD card or what? Sorry - new to smartphones.
Thanks
Hi there, hope im not startin another thread on this! but i couldnt find anything!?

Try a wipe or reinstalling Rom

Before doing complete wipe, try resetting camera to defaults (menu->setting->applications->manage applications->camera->clear data)
It will basically perform a wipe for your camera only without touching any other settings.
Good luck
Done and done, ive also installed RC7 still no joy, altho i am now getting a black screen sometimes and others it force closes
Possibley the camera it self maybe?
Cheers
Do you have your apps on SD? You may have to reformat your ext2/3/4 partition. If that doesn't help - it's a hardware issue.
Unless.... Do you have any programs that utilize camera (barcode scanner, symmcam, whatever else?) they may be wrecking the chaos. Uninstall?
Good luck
Hello guys.
Yesterday I updated to 4.3 and since then the vibration stopped working. On "diagnostics" the vibration does not work as well.
Did this happen with any of you guys?
Hardware problem?
Thanks

Do factory reset, some kind of issues are solved this way.

I reseted the phone already (settings - backup and restore). Erased everything, even music and photos, however it still does not vibrate.

having the same problem, mine just squeaks and then works for bit a and then squeaks again! going to do a complete re installation of the firmware today and see what happens!
Hi, i have seen many forums regarding this error, so I will post what i have tried already. Problem only on rear camera.
I did clean cache and restarted.
Reinstalled camera app/other camera apps from the store.
Started in safe mode.
Ran xperia diagnostics/service test. Camera didnt start.
As far as i can remember it happened shortly after installing avatar rom. I kept getting constant crashes so i decided to flash stock again, everything works fine but the camera.
Right now i am on 4.4.4, with the "C6602_10.5.1.A.0.283_Customized_US" firmware. Rooted using towelroot, but the problem existed before and remains after rooting.
I have been uninstalling/disabling some sistem apps through Titanium Backup , so I would say i mistakenly deleted some important system app. Can anyone share the process/apps needed to use camera? so i cant install all of them again.
Can it be the firmware? should i try a different one? I would like to fix it without having to wipe, but if it must be I will just restart from scratch.
Thanks for the assistance, feeling sort of lost on this one.

Try with clean install. Repair it via PC Companion or reflash it via Flashtool. If still doesn't work it's probably hw problem.
ok, i tryed reflashing a couple of times, the error is still there. It doesnt seem likely that its a hardware issue. Is it possible to reinstall the files necessary for using the camera?
One other thing, i cant use pc companion repair because it says my software is modified, if i relock bootloader can i use it?

Yes, you can use it with locked bl, but you don't need to do that, find .ftf ROM for your region and model or any other you like and do a clean flash via Flashtool, if still not working it's hw issue, you need new camera module.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Free mobile app
i just reflashed 2 different roms for my phone and version. Relocked and repaired via pc companion. And nothing worked, i assume its hw damage then.
Does it happen when the phone suffers a hit? or is there another explanation?. Cant figure out how it happened.
Thank you for all your help.

Hi, kennycol
Can you tell me if it is hardware problem?
I met the same problem
After revive my C6833, the camera can't work. Firstly，the front camera is OK，but not a long time, it also can't work.
After I flashed other rom using flashtool, two camera both can not work.
when I use camera , phone shows "unfortunately, the camera stopped"
press *#*#7378423#*#*
enter service test
camera CAMERA NOT CONNECTED
Secondary camera THIS DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE FUNCTION
Then, I reflash it by S1tool, the things repeat again.
I seem to have a problem with my camera after the update, I can not open the setting for the camera, it self closes as fast as it opens. Does anyone else have this problem?
Go ibto apps and clear the settings, defaults and cache for the camera
works fine on mine. Last resort would be factory reset, but maybe you could try go to settings/apps/camera click on storage and clear cache and data?
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this and it did not fix my issue. I was hoping that I would not have to do a hard reset!

I have the same problem. It started yesterday. I tried the Safe Mode, Cache delete and the Factory reset, none of this worked. The camera app is still crashing.
I'm going today to the Verizon store, I hope I can get a replacement.
Did you resolve this issue ?
I had to do a factory reset to fix the camera. This worked for me. I would suggest trying it again.
Hope this helps
Rick
Random questions:
1) Do you have a memory card installed?
2) Did your memory card come from a previously encrypted Samsung device?
I'm only asking because I had the EXACT same issue, and it led to slow-downs too.
The card ended up being corrupt, and I had to get a new one: problem solved for me.
Just a thought.

Yes, I have a SD installed. I just removed the SD and performed a Factory reset again. Still not working. :crying:
Thank you anyway for the advice.
Did you ever get this fixed?
Mine is not working after the Oreo update.
