Stock marshmallow camera - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The camera of my G800F (bliss MM rom) drives me mad. I constantly have freezes when switching from back to front camera and so on. I am using the camera restarter app and it helps getting the camera back to work. But that takes time. Also I experienced crazy battery drain and a heating up phone after using the camera.
Can extracting the stock camera and drivers and whatever is needed to make it work and flashing it to my phone be a solution? And if so can anyone provide a flashable zip? (Unfortunately I don't know how to do it)
Thanks for your help.

The stock camera is deeply integrated with the Touchwiz ui and will not work outside of it.

Camera noises

Hi i just noticed my camera makes noises when i have it in standby. it's like the camera is trying to auto focus even though i havent started the camera app. does anyone know why this is happening?
i heard a funny clunk noise when turning on the camera app. something like that?
I'm having the exact same problem. My camera also doesn't focus when I take pics.
Have you found any solutions/causes yet?
My battery is also draining very quickly ... guessing the constant camera lens motor running could be the cause.
Do you remember if you did something specific that brought it on?
This problem just started happening to my Nexus One. Only thing I did was switch battery this morning. Gonna try to take battery out and in again.
Once this problem started, I couldn't focus with my camera anymore. I have Camera 360 Pro and the focus button does nothing.
Are you guys all running a custom ROM, like cyan for example? Or is this stock ROM?

My problem went away temporarily after I charged the phone with USB and also tapping on the lens with my finger.

"Camera Failed" after upgrading to KitKat...??

Got a strange issue here. My camera was working fine on JB (stock rom & also on KnoxRaid 2.6). After the kitkat v2 release of Knoxraid I decided to give it a try. Everything is perfect except whenever I open the camera I get "Warning - Camera Failed". I restored back to mj5 thinking it was maybe a hardware thing but no, the camera works perfectly on stock mj5. So I decided to test Knoxraid 2.6 (non kitkat version) and again, camera work fine. I have asked Drakeymcmb what he thinks about the issue, but I think it has even him stumped. He suggested I try the other kitkat rom leaked by designgears. So again I restored back to mj5 and then tried the designgears leak. No luck, camera failed. I have wiped my internal memory and tried everything I can think of. I am hoping maybe someone has run into this issue and knows a fix?? Please help!! Thanks!
Not having any camera failing, but I'm experiencing a pretty substantial lag after taking a photo.
When i hit the shutter button, my screen will say "Processing". If the camera moves AT ALL before the "processing" is done, the picture will be blurry -it almost looks like I've moved the camera during exposure.
Anyone else having this problem?

I notice that as well. I just turn the smart stabilization off and problem solved. Turn it back on when you wanna take pic in the dim light situation and be prepare to hold the phone still.

Were really talking about 2 completely different issues here. I wish my problem was that the camera was too slow, but mine will not load at all...

Disable Stamina Mode - it happens only when in Stamina. Or press Power Button before pressing Camera Button. That way it will wake phone from Stamina Mode and then it shouldn't freeze on taking pictures.

Rubbish. I don't use Stamina mode and mine still does it almost every time I try and use the camera.
Same here, started happening recently with no identifiable cause. I don't use Stamina mode either.
I'm using a custom rom freeze after 10 minutes of filming
yesterday my AR effect didnt want to capture picture, after reboot it was working fine.
I think there is something messed up in memory "cache" when you use a phone lot of time without shutdown or restart.

Same problem here, Occurred today.
After restarting phone, camera works perfectly again
I have no idea what to do.
Best to provide a logcat or something that can help fix your issues. Use 'adb logcat > filename.txt' or google if you don't know how to logcat
☺
Hi, i Google logcat and i cant understand what it's for.. Im confused.. ? can you explain a bit about logcat.. If it's okay with you..
camera totally freeze...
Im using c6903 14.4.a.0.157 rooted... Before i root my phone, my stock camera was working fine. But after i root it, it just freeze every time i take picture. But when im using 3rd prty apps it works although it'll take me 5-10 secs before it take picture... I've been searching all over the web for a fix but cant find any.... Hope someone can help,me out here... TIA...
this problem appeared first on android kitkat, so if you want perfect camera, you have to go back to .290 jelly bean.
in kitkat it appears often on .757 but it got a lot better on .108 and later.
this freeze is caused by a wrong memory managment. if you choose the internal memory instead of external sd card, you camera wont freeze
P.S with .157 this problem should be fixed

Well thats a very common problem with 108.. The same was happening with me when i had 108.. All you need to do is update to 157. Even if you see the changelog for 157 it clearly states improvements in the camera.. Believe me this is what you need to do. Hope this helps
if i am not wrong , this problem has been fixed in .157. When i was on .108 stock , i had issues when i opened the camera from lock screen or using the camera button.
But after .157, i no longer face any issues when i open the camera from lock screen. sadly, the camera button still sometimes causes the problem u described above......

[Q] Possibly faulty camera. module.

Hello everybody.
I have been having a strange issure with my i9295's camera, and thought I'd get some feedback. For a long time I used the 4.2.2 rooted firmware and everything was fine, but then I broke the screen and replaced it, and decided to try using custom ROMs.
Now, I'm not sure if it is related to me taking the thing apart and putting it back together, or just from using custom ROMs, but the issue seems too convenient to happen on three different versions, with three different stock camera apps.
My problem is now, that whichever stock camera app I try to use, the phone will freeze for 4-5 seconds when taking a photo, and will completely freeze and make the camera inaccessible to any app until I restart if I try to shoot using HDR. I tried some random 4.42 version, Paranoid 4.4.4 and now CM12 5.0. They all had a different type or version of the camera, but all the same issue. Yet I have no issues using CameraZoom FX. I'd just like to be able to use the stock app for it's features and speed.
Is a non-working stock camera a known issue, is it a convenient software bug that happened to be in the exact 3 roms I used, or is there a possibility that I damaged the camera module when I disassembled?
Thanks in advance .

Problem pop up camera stuck outside, Need help

Hi everyone,
i wish if anyone could help me with this problem:
i´m in latest evolution X rom(4.3 build may 13) and google cam stoped working video recording (the camera hardware its fine because the stock camera was working fine) , so i tried switching to front camera an then changing to video but this caused the pop up camera getting stuck outside (photo attached), and when i try using it with stock camera app its works fine except that its doesnt come inside the phone or make any light or sound.
i tried to push it by force but it became stuck half way and still give image but again, doesnt get inside the phone.
I wish to know if anyone knows how to fix this problem or how can i force to restart the camera or something like that.
thanks and any help would be great.
I found a solution, here in XDA Is an app which allow you to control manually the pop up camera, it need to be root but apart from that works flaulessly.
