So, when i use my camera, my Desire reboots sometimes afters just one taken picture.
It blocks, then reboots.
I tryed mani ROMS, it hapends on stock and unrooted Desire too!
What can I do?
Some of my friend say that i must instal a new driver for my camera, but i dont know how to do that.
Can someone help me? Im desperate..
I've had this same problem. My phone is rooted with stock rom, but I remember having this problem before I rooted. What happens is that when I take a picture the phone reboots and the picture isn't even saved. This is really random, it once happened two times in a week and then it took a month to happen again. I've noticed some things when it happened:
- They where all pictures taken with flash on a really dark place, almost no light in it.
- After reboot, screen is set to its highest brightness. This happens everytime you access the camera but goes back to your setted brightness when you exit the app.
- Last picture taken before reboot is not saved.
In the 4 months I've had my Inspire, this has probably happened 10 times. As I said, its very random. Last time was 2 weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Hey buddy,
Do you ever try other kernel?
Sometimes it is not about ROM, but related to kernel.
Try another one.
Which kernels?

as the title stated I been having random reboots when using the camera but not all the time and it's a very random chance like 40 percent. I used the camera quite often on my first galaxy 2 but exchange at do to screen issues ( vertical lines).
basically what I want to know is if anyone else has experienced this before I ask for another replacement.
its random as I can just open up the camera app or I can be switching from back camera to front camera or just going from gallery back to camera and have it lock then appear to reboot then stay on a black screen which requires me to remove the battery.
so far on this phone I've had the issue on eagles blood and on beast. it happened on the stock kernel and on jugs.. I'll be testing the other one out later. I really do not desire to go flashing back to stock so I was just at hoping on other people's experiences.
I just get a feeling it's not necessarily software because everyone would have the issue with the roms.
could anything in the camera hardware be causing it to work sometimes but then freak out on others?
lastly what does anyone recommend I do the moment that this reboots and locks o that I can get a proper read out for the developers?
sorry for the lack of some capitalization and punctuation because I am speaking this on my phone.
Another thing ive noticed on melvins beast rom is that after reboot some settings get reverted..like brightness settings( they go back to auto)
TL;DR : WHEN USING CAMERA APP THE PHONE REBOOTS SOMETIMES.

I am currently running the latest build of the PacMan rom for my Sprint S3, but my problem didnt start there. As over the course of a few weeks my phone has been randomly crashing while running build 7 of Slimkat. It started crashing when i wanted to take a picture with the AOSP camera (when i hit the camera button and then it would shut off). Then it progressed to just crashing trying to use accuweather, or even when the screen was auto-rotating in my SMS app. So finally i just backed up my important bits and made a clean wipe into Wicked X 8.0 TW rom (because i'm on Ting and TW roms initially work on their network and wanted to export, or to just copy down the settings of, the APN xml to use in AOSP roms). After playing around with that for 20 minutes, i didn't experience any fc's or reboots. Though i did not use the camera in that time (i forgot to check). To which i then wiped it into PacMan rom that im at now. Which at the moment seems fine to do everything, except it will shut off if i want to OPEN the camera (doesn't let me use it at all). Plus i did have it crash once rotating with the play store up...
So im kinda lost, i wonder if this is just an issue with the camera in the rom, or if it might be a bigger issue with the phone itself. As ive been having the same random error's with two roms and i dont see anyone having FC's with pacman rom with the camera.
more testing done
So i have also attempted to odin completely back to stock and i have a stock rooted rom with nothing touched. The sudden shut-offs still happen and occur randomly. I installed logcat and what seems to be throwing error's is the accelerometer. Plus at first when i flash a new rom it seems to work ok with no problems for the first day, then suddenly start showing symptoms the next. Plus ive had it shut off during bootup too while going through the sprint 4g animation screen. Though i have not had it die on me in recovery, so thats a thing.... Plus it will rotate no problem half the time, and then ive seen it die rotating to use my keyboard.
So at this point i feel like its actually a hardware option. If it is the accelerometer, is it easy to fix (i guess re solder the connections if they're broke?)? or should i just try and replace the main board?
Hey guys!
So just as the subject reads, the phone from time to time can't connect to my camera and I just get a black screen. Switching between the front and back when this happens triggers the error message and tells me to send a diagnostic report to Google. One of the things I tried was to force close the camera process and still nothing. Only fix is to reboot the phone, but eventually in a day or two the camera will crash again.
Just to rule out any kind of corruption, I wiped the phone to factory settings via recovery and the phone still behaves like this. One of the apps I noticed does not play well with the phone is snapchat (current beta). The app is super laggy and wondering if this could cause the camera overall to eventually crash. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome!
Overall I'm kind if disappointed with the performance of the phone over several days. Upon reboot its quick and over a day or two the phone gets pretty sluggish, even locking up at times for a few seconds without being able to do anything. Sometimes exiting an app and going to the main screen takes a solid 5 to 10 seconds.
Yeah the camera app is very, very bugging. Really hoping there'll be an update that fixes the problems with that and 3rd party cameras.

I though I was the only one, the camera takes forever to open and bogs the whole system down, I just the l got the security updates and no camera bugs were addressed

Actually that's exactly the way my Nexus 4 behaved, which was the main reason I had to replace it now. Hope 5X won't do that, or I'd be pretty pissed off. I thought it was a hardware issue, but now according to what you write I suspect this might relate to some application installed.
I'll add myself to the list. Sometimes It doesn't even make picture, just get stuck and does nothing for a while, then for whatever reason it start shooting a sequence of pointless picture. Many times it take 2 pics in a row, like a not asked, not wanted crappy pointless multishot
Camera was completely fine for me until I got an OTA update 2 days ago and now its completely dog ****. Freezes for a while when I open the app, and crashes if I turn the phone to landscape.
I just rooted my phone and camera stopped working. Reset to default did nothing.
I'm on B29K. Do I need to downgrade?

How exactly did you root? And if you flashed a modified boot.img, which one fid you flash? Also, what does "reset to default" mean? Does this mean that you flashed the factory image for MMB29K?

I don't know what's happened, seemingly over night my camera no longer works. I was running Cloudy 2.5 and I wiped it and installed CM12, still no luck. Now I've got it running PA and STILL the camera refuses to work in any apps. I installed FV-5 camera and it just crashes when I launches it. Snapchat tells me to restart the phone but after a few attemps, I can get the front camera to work. I'm starting to think this is a hardware problem as I've flashed new ROMS etc. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
edit: I just installed and launched Snapchat again and when I switched from the front camera to the back, it worked for half a second and then froze. Restarted the app and now it seems to be working.

I had this issue on my g2 all roms nogo so i flashed back stock kdz and it worked then flashed all same romsa again and it actually work so im asuming it was some stupid issue from the factory. But mine done it from the start on stock rom i thought it was a hardware issue it was a warantie replacement i didnt know i had the pbone for about a week and went to take a pic and bam so like i said i tried many roms nogo a fresh new tot
I'll give it a go because it still seems broken. It's working sometimes, but in snap chat the image is flipped upside down and there's a purple tint. Exiting the app and opening it again fixes it, but most of the time it's not working.
This happened to me, but on a different device - it's a CM bug. You could download an app called "restart camera" by temasek from playstore to see if it helps.

Mine was on a ls980 sprint g2 and a stock. And stock based roms never tried cm really
I have LG G3 *D855*... My phone worked fine and fast 2 and half years, no problem, warranty after 2 years was over, but I even didnt think about other phone, because I realy like LG G3 and there is nothing very better created yet + I used mobile case and phone is in perfect condition. Ok, after 2,5 years, phone never was swiped, it was overloaded with files, photos, apps... One day, camera start crashing and sometimes I got some lagz. I decided to root the phone, installed Cloudy 3G, camera worked only first 10mins, then crashed like in stock version. I found one flashable file, called camera fix lgg3... It fixed camera, no lagz on camera, no problem with crashing, flashlight worked, everything was fine. But damn, that Cloudy3G was so unstabble, sometimes phone freezed for a while, sometimes it restarted itself, sometimes apps crashed, like facebook, whatsup and other... But... The biggest deal was with battery... Battery drain was awfully high... If phone was in standby mode, battery taked only one day, but... If I used any app or just watched videos on youtube, I was able to see how % was dropping in minutes. It was like 1 min = 1-2% gone. So, I flashed CM14... Nice mod, I liked, takked few hours to know the mode and customize it for my needs. Camera worked first day, then crashed again... Actualy... It worked sometimes, like 1 time from 10 attempts with phone restart. But, for short time, sometimes 1min, sometimes 30mins. I didnt find any fix, cause that first fix was only for stock camera version... Decided to flash other rom... Fulmics was next, worked fine, mode is cool, stable, battery life is very good, almost like stock version. Camera worked for 2 days, then the same problem... Cannot connect to camera or camera is busy...
From starting, I was able to get into camera by restarting phone, but after few days, no restarts helped.
What I can do now? Any suggestions? Ohh, and sometimes camera is purple and shows upsidedown, before crashing.
All, what I can imagine to do, is try another ROM or try to swipe everything and get back to original stock version. But its not so difficult like installing custom roms. So, it will help or somebody has other solution?
After about 1,5 weeks of usage, the camera cannot be started anymore since a few hours.
Rebooted a few times already. There is a popup stating that the "camera could not be started, either reboot or restart the camera".
It worked a few hours ago and since then nothing happened with the phone.
I cleared the cache of the "camera" app and made a fresh start. Other camera apps also do not work.
What happened? :/
EDIT: I did a factory reset and the camera is working again...
Just out of curiosity what build were you on when this happened. I only noticed the problem after I updated to the latest update version ending in .225.
The only way I was able to fix it was by powering off the phone and then powering it back on because clearing the cache/restarting it didn't work. It worked fine for a while after the first power off but then it started giving me the same error after a few hours. So now I powered off a second time and it's been about 12 hours since and so far no issues....
Next time, take a bug report from developer settings, and post it in their official forum.
Had the same problem twice in the first week of the phone, looks like hang after U use the super slowmo and dont close the app. at least was both times after using the slowmo and just locking the phone
Just started getting this error in the last few days. Most of the time a reboot fixes the issue. Sometimes it takes several reboots. BTW, I did the most recent software update a couple weeks ago.
Had the same issue, it also causes a battery drain.
The app BetterBatteryStats showed a 100% kernel wakelocks of the process "Sony,camera_modules".
My battery drained from 100 to 40% in 4 hours with just 10 minute screentime.
I've expierenced camera cannot be started error now 8 times, rebooting temporary solves the problem...
Hopefully a OTA update will solve this problem.
Hi, i have the same problem with latest .225 built
Camera works but black screen, and after 3 or 4 times crashed.
The only fix is wait an update by sony??
Me too. Same problem. I had to Factory reset. It pissed me off....
Now sometimes it appears but i reboot and then goes back .
I confirm i have the same problem with the latest firmware but i have it one time with an old one to. For me it's happens when i close the camera app while i have the phone on horizontal. Some time to recover i just open the camera with the phone horizontally but sometimes i need to clear data and restart the phone to make it work again XD
Maybe the wrong thread, but is there a way to take motion photos (like in gcam) on the XZ2 Compact?
