Hey,
Some days ago i flashed the UK 2.2 ROM onto my defy, everythings working fine, just applyed the marketfix.
Now a friend of mine got his defy today and we flashed the same rom to his, and everything seems to work - except the camcorder.
The camera-app, for taking photos, is working as it should. Now here's what we've noticed so far:
- both apps produce a clicking noise of the camera, which my defy doesn't do
- if we set the resolution to QVGA or CIF, the camcorder is working correctly
doesn't matter if we start with the camera and switch, or start with the camcorder-shortcut - it's just clicking, everything turns black for a second, and that's it. Any ideas? It's kind of strange to see it working on my phone, but not on his. Btw under his battery-cover it says "BT 33", mines a "B 9".
edit: After flashing for the second time, i realised it is the "Market_Apps_Camera_Mod_Haptic_Mod" that breaks the camcorder. So the solution is very simple.
The Marketfix for 2.2 is available alone, but not the haptic-fix, for the solution here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936313 ) is resulting in a bootloop, as for some other users, too.
does anyone have the unmodfied "framework-res.apk" WITH haptic fix enabled, or maybe a .zip of the haptic fix to apply via recovery? that would be great!

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?
Hi
Basically been having this problem for a while now and its starting to bug me. I rooted my phones ago now, and until recenlty the camcorder worked fine on all ROMS, however recently been facing a big problem with it. Every time I launch camcorder on any ROM my phone will freeze and have to take battery out and restart. I unrooted it and installed stock and it worked fine (so it can't be the SD card) re rooted again installed RSK and boom same problem. Does anyone have solutions to this?
Thanks in advance
If I remember correctly, the aroma installer gives you the option to change between two with a warning about one not recording. Also, have you tried another third party app to see if that works? You may also want to try taking the battery cover off and pressing (not too firmly) over the camera window and on the metal sheilding around it. It might have slightly disloged from the upper board but try the software first.
If you start noticing the notification LED, receiver (earspeaker) or camera flash not working as well, then it may need the upper board reconnecting to the main board and you should send it in for repair, but this is a pretty thin possibility, as I said, software first.
Updated to JB 4.1.1 and video camera not working, Gallery Stopped.
Updated to JB 4.1.2 same problem.
My camera and panorama are working fine.
Please help.
Thank you.
I'm having a similar problem.. last night, I attempted to use the TeslaLED widget to aid myself while walking my dog at night. To my chagrin, the light never came on. I wondered if it was the light itself, so I attempted to open the camera to take a picture... it immediately closed and showed "gallery stopped" for an error message. I rebooted the phone hopping that would fix the problem. The problem was still there after booting back up.
I was running a CM10 nightly that I've had for over a month. My Verizon Galaxy Nexus is rooted and unlocked. I attempted to flash a stable CM10, but am still having the same problem. I will attempt to flash stock tonight to see if that fixes it.
Gallery not working
Ever since JB 4.2.1 update...my gallery and camera no longer works! Tried clearing cached, hard reset but no luck. Next step might be to toss it out the window....
Ok, somehow its fixed! I had backed up my gnex via recovery mode before I installed the stable cm10. When that didn't fix my problem, I restored the backup do I didn't have to reconfigure everything again when I flashed stock later yesterday evening. But, to my surprise, restoring the backup fixed the problem!
I too am having an issue w/ my Gnex's camera. The app will open from the gallery, & the camera buttons are at the bottom of the screen, but the screen is black. You can push the button to capture a pic, but nothing happens, you can switch to record video & it locks up & FC's. Every now & then you can open the app directly from the camera widget, but it typically just goes to a black screen w/ the software keys at the bottom faded out & the phone just locks up. I replaced the camera w/ a known working camera from a parts Gnex I have. Same issue. I was running 4.1.2, but I've since upgraded to 4.2.2 hoping there was some sort of software fix. No dice... still doing the same thing. The isn't rooted... but I'm going to root it & throw on another ROM to see if I can get it working somehow... but outside of that, I don't know what else to do. Any new ideas?

I have the same problem... camera non working
No idea why??
Getting a weird one. When I am video'ing, and I try to zoom in, the camera then crashes with "Unfortunately, the camera has stopped". I have tried with Google Camera, which I have installed, and the zoom seems to work fine, but I would rather use the LG G3 camera app. The zoom works fine when not recording, and when taking stills, but only crashes when actually recording
I have tried a full factory reset, and even waited till the next OTA was released (v10i), hoping that a new ROM would fix this, but still having the same problem
Yesterday, when showing someone the issue, the zoom was working ... which confused me, but then later on during the day, had to reboot the phone. Went to show my partner last night that it was working, and it was crashing again. This morning tried to zoom, and yep, it seems to be working today
This has really got me stumped. If it was hardware, you would expect it all the time, and for it to fail on other 3rd party apps. I like the stock app, but cannot use it as my default in case I have the zoom issue, and therefore lose what I am videoing
Anybody have any ideas on this?
The phone is stock, LG-D855 and running V10i-EUR-XX
Has nobody else had this issue, or any ideas how to resolve?
My rear camera suddenly stopped working. My phone didn't get any hurt in nowhere, just suddenly it stopped working. I was takin photos since 10 minutes before, I locked the phone and I noticed that Torch tile disappeared. I thought it was a bug and I didn't care anymore. The day before I noticed that even rear camera stopped working, I was trying to take a photo but the "change camera" (from front to rear) disappeared in every camera app I was using, camera apps opened by default with front camera opened. I tried to reflash ROM thinking that it was a ROM problem (even if I was using the same rom since months ago and I've never had any kind of problem), no results. Reflashing everything starting from stock firmware, no results. As a last hope, I tried to replace the rear camera by buying a new one, but the problem it's still here. Could someone that experienced the same problem, tell me where the problem could be? Or maybe some possible fixes, every kind of help is appreciated. Thanks.
Same
I have the exact same problem. After wiping the cache the rear camera is recognised and I am able to take a picture with it (which is not saved into gallery) but about 5 minutes later the option to switch to rear camera has gone and all camera apps (including social media such as snapchat) is stuck on front camera. This leads me to think it's not a hardware problem but rather that of software with which I am running cm13 nightlies that I have updated every day for the past week in the hope it will be patched.
I have this exact same problem on my d855 too..!
Sooooo frustrating, I've been looking everywhere for a fix, tried full factory reset the other day (I'm running full regular stock with no root or anything), and sadly that didn't work either... I'm glad to read someone has tried changing the camera hardware, cos that was I step I've considered taking, but I now know would be a waste of time and money...
But still, the problem persists..!

I don't think that's a software problem simply for one reason: I'm on the same rom and kernel since months and camera worked fine. It stopped working suddenly with no reason.

Yeah now you made me understand why the camera worked for some minutes. I'll try clearing cache after installing new camera module. I'll report the result. Thanks anyway.
Edit: It's not working. At first boot, systemUI doesn't load well, when I reboot everything works fine but rear camera isn't working. Maybe late I'll try with phone's camera. Now I'm using the new one bought some days ago.
same here!!!!! I'm using LOS13.1 on my d855 and i can't fix it... any idea?
What OS are you guys running? Is everyone experiencing the issue on Cm13?
Also try cleaning the camera connections really well.
I have same problem. Although i expirienced it first time on Lineage OS 14.1. Now 30B, but it still not working. I was listening to music through external speakers, and suddenly it stopped working. Music app was "playing" but i couldnt hear anything and when i exit the app my phone just stops working and starts being laggy as hell. Later that day i found out my camera is not working. I tried reattaching cam connector but it did not work...idk if i should order a new camera or it might be a software fix or something
same problem
happened to me after upgrading to 6.0 , downgraded back to 5 with no luck , even opened my phone and released and reconnected the 3 cables inside with no luck at all . don't know what to do
It's "good" to see other people with the same problem as me.
I replaced the camera and it still won't work.
I'm afraid that it might the problem with our motherboard...How can software block our camera even tho all of us fully reinstalled ROMs/Modems etc? It would be awesome if dev would see this and tell us what is the actual cause of this
If you reinstalled the entire OS using a TOT method, no files are left behind. This is more likely a hardware issue.
The Camera module is extremely close to the problematic hot chip on the G3 so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have a d852 in Canada that doesn't get hot and I'm having this problem too. Going to order a new camera since I know this is a hardware issue. Hopefully fixed the issue. Not cool having no rear camera or flashlight
It's impossible Every G3 gets hot...you either are not heavy user or idk...but every G3 that i've held had the issue of overheating at some point...and indeed it can ruin everything...imagine 120C on your processor...that kills everything around it...idk if my processor got that hot as i've seen in some cases it did on internet, but it did go up to 90ish...and that is too damn hot
FIX ISSUE be Done
