ROM: GLOBAL STABLE 8.1.2.0
Rooted
Xposed Installed
Hello, I have a Mi5 3/64 variant .
My stock camera is getting force closed just whenever I try to use panorama . And at low light just after pressing the shutter button it takes forever to capture and then suddenly stops. Only after rebooting I can open the camera app . But then again if I take a low light picture it stucks and I have to reboot again. After the camera is stopped 3rd party camera also doesn't work. Normally 3rd party camera works fine at night but panorama doesn't work.
I flashed 8.1.4.0 and 8.1.2.0 several times . Works normally at first . And it also works after rooting . But just after enabling Navigation Keys by editing build.prop this problem is occurring . I'm sure root and xposed is not occurring this problem. But is it just the navigation keys? Cause at day light camera works normally just without panorama.
Anyone else facing such problem? any fix?
Ok, the rear camera doesn't open. I can't switch to it in the camera app or snapchat etc. Flash doesn't work either, and if I do the "V" gesture for flash when the phone is locked, it restarts. I have:
* Cleared cache/data
* Disabled and re-enabled the app.
* Dirty flashed OOS 4.1.7 multiple times and have also flashed Franko's Kernel which I normally use (currently running stock kernel though).
* Google camera app multiple times. (had this before too, then I deleted it after this camera problem arose)
Not sure if relevant but TWRP has been giving me some error I haven't been able to fix for some time, and can't delete the file that it says it can't open (through twrp itself or cmd+adb) . Relevant SS attached.
Thanks.
You may want to try to flash the phone using the unbrick tutorial. Make sure you have a backup of internal memory
Hmm, I haven't tried that. I just did a clean install with no success. I deleted everything except USB OTG from TWRP. This has become much harder to fix than it should be . I didn't even do anything to set it off, I was in snapchat and took a pic and then it stopped and the rear camera/flash haven't worked since.
Just to update, I just tried a clean install of NLOS Lineage OS and the rear camera/flash still didn't work. Also, if I try to take any type of video with front camera the phone says "Low memory, adjust the picture resolution or delete some files" even though there's only 3.3 GB of space used.
Also, after a clean flash and wipe of everything the error reported by TWRP no longer exists. So that wasn't what was causing the problem.
Just used the unbrick tutorial. It worked perfectly however the problem still persists and remains unchanged. Anyone have any other ideas?
After some deep diving through forums I decided to use the phone's inbuilt hardware tests, in particular *#808#, as the camera test given by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* doesn't work. Firstly, the flash works through the hardware test (although quick settings still doesn't). The "foolproof camera test" gives BackCamera PASS and FrontCamera Fail. This makes sense as when I go to the individual tests the "backcamera" shows the front camera image, while the "frontcamera" just says "cannot open camera". The PDAF/Cam_EEPROM info test says "FAIL Qualcomm", which I believe is the camera firmware not working. The storage test says "sdcard is unavailable" which I assume is why the camera isn't allowing me to record any video through the selfie camera and says "Low memory".
In summary, how do I fix the camera firmware problem and the sd card error?
RMA your phone, hardware fault.
Ok Thanks.
So there is no way to update/fix the firmware problem?

P.S. "Thanks" button is for thanking, by the way. Use it in the future on this forum, whenever somebody helps you.
Im having the same problem on my one plus 3...did u find any solutions??? if yes plz lemme know.
I haven't found a solution.i replaced both The front and back camera and even played with old/new cameras in different configuration (old front + new back / new front+old back / no front + new or old back and so on) varying the result from "Back camera pass/Front camera fail to both Fail ) .the funny thing Is that if you just remove back camera and do the diagnostic menu *#808# > foolproof camera test it still says back camera pass
I have the same problem... And my camera before of this beta worked awesome... Beta 24 **** our phones...
Experiencing the same problem with the front (away) facing camera and the flashlight.
Same Problem for me since the latest official Beta. Ich tried resetting and reflashing the Phone with the last official stable rom. Did not help.
I think I solved this. I let the phone cool down then i powered it off. I let it cool down a bit again and then booted it back up. The camera and FL work.
It seems that this happends when the phone gets heated, at least in my case.
I have the same problem, camera was working fine yesterday. Foolproof camera test shows front camera fail. But the front camera works
So this randomly started happening the other day, whenever I try and open my camera through any method, double tap power, use the app, from the lockscreen etc... it loads than says "Warning: Camera Failed" and there' an OK button that exit's the app. I've tried everything I've found online, factory reset twice, wiped cache partition, and safe mode. It also doesn't work with other camera apps. Another thing I've noticed is that the flashlight is highlighted with a light blue in quick settings but you can't turn it off or on, same with NFC. I didn't drop it or anything, I also bought it used and when I got on Samsung support the person said that they couldn't find the IMEI in their system so it's probably not available for service. Any suggestions? The only idea that I have left is that one of the third party camera apps that I downloaded said something about the camera being in use by another application, any possibility this is actually correct and I can find out what's using it? Other than that I really have no ideas
Did you dropped your phone? There's a possibility that the camera cable got disconnected form the mainboard
try the camera without your sd card. I had same issue on s7, caused by faulty sd card

I didn't drop it but I'm thinking this might be the case somehow as much as I don't want to admit it. Samsung support (however useless they were) were pretty adamant that it was a software issue.
This is becoming a widespread issue:

This may have been caused by the CRHA update that added AR Emoji and Super Slow-mo:

1.*#34971539# Do you get a menu? and is the phone to cam FW Write greyed out?
2.*#0*# Mega cam test works fine?
This issue is so strange, I have note 8 with same problem when phone is on full Stock Rom even *#0*# cam test fails reads 0 cam. However when I installed Combination Rom (Factory Binary) The camera/flash works fine in the *#0*# and even in more extensive testing menus(Its stock in combination ROM or you can use Info phone Sam app), But I don't know how to flash FW for cameras , since the options are greyed out , I believe I have to place camera FW files (get them from system image?) in a certain folder in root directory(using root explorer) then initiating *#34971539# to enable Phone ---> Cam write, anyone who had this done successfully or experimenting too, your input is appreciated.
Note: When I flash stock rom back, the same problem occurs.
Hello Guys
Recently i started to receive " unfortunately camera has stopped " error every time i tried to open the camera app or use the camera in other apps like whatsapp and facebook this happened with both front and rear camera , i'v tried some solutions like clearing the camera app cache and software repair using Xperia Companion but nothing works is there any way i can fix this problem , can this problem occurred because of a hardware damage ? because my phone fell and the upper part of the screen is broken. currently i'm using the official 5.1.1 firmware
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.
