What has happened to my camera - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went to open my camera app on MIUI the other day and it forced closed. I thought it was a fluke so I wiped my camera app through titanium backup and launched it again. It still forced closed. I wiped my caches but that didnt work.
I have tried different kernels and roms and they all force close. Anything else I should try?

So... it force closes no matter what? Every ROM you try? After full wipes?

Mine did that on MIUI too, then when I would open it I'd get an error that said "cannot connect to camera". Other camera apps worked fine. Wiping data for the camera from "manage applications" solved the issue for me. If it's across multiple roms and wipes then it probably isn't rom or app related. Have you tried third party camera apps?

Yes I have tried a couple apps and they just freeze on a black screen. I did a full wipe coming from my last rom and the problem is still there. Guess it is time to give the credit card company a call.

Just after making my last post I tried it again. The camera comes on but everything is tinted purple and pink. I had this problem many months ago but it went away before I could get a sprint tech to see it haha. I posted here about it and I think people just thought I was crazy. Anyways, I'm conveniently a month out of my one year warranty without insurance. What are my options at this point?

Here is that thread for completeness

I heard insurance was open to enrollment for the month, but I'm not sure of the exact dates or if my info is correct. You can look that up or call Sprint & ask. If it's open, I'm not sure if there's a time limit on when you can use it - I'd think not. The month ends soon, so I'd go ahead and call.
Without insurance, I'm not sure. You can always take it in, maybe you'll get lucky. I'm not up to date on Sprint's policy for such things, I just pay my insurance every month.

I have the EXACT same setup as you and I get the same force close all the time. adroid process.acore has failed or something like that. I have no idea what the issue is though.

you guys aren't the only ones getting this there are some people that are getting it on azreal as well i think it may have to do with a bad nandblock pray that i'm wrong as idk of any way to fix a bad block, but its the only explanation that i can think of why its happening to multiple people on different ROMS.
update: there are reports of Sprint lovers ROM doing this as well
Same problem here. I've used both roms with the same problem on both.
Anyone have some idea why?

Could be a kernel problem. Just an assumption.

Same here, starting yesterday or today. And I'm running Fresh 3.4 with King BFS 12.
A full wipe along with a reinstall seem to have fixed the problem for me. Before I had experienced it at boot, but now its no longer appearing so... I would say this may work.

This worked for me I was getting the same error all day and I found it has something to do with contact syncing.
Note I only recommend doing this if all your contacts are synced using gmail or you will lose your contacts.
Solution:
1. turn off Google contact syncing
2. Make a backup of contacts in gmail - ex. export data in csv or vcf
3. then click "manage applications" & "contacts storage" then tap on "clear cache" and "clear data" ATTENTION ! ALL CONTACTS DATA ON PHONE WILL BE LOST!!
4. turn on sync again.
I hope this helps.
I can confirm that clearing contacts cache will fix this problem. I had the same issue using LeeDroid and MIUI Roms, cleared contacts cache and all fixed. I sync contacts via Google so it automatically restored my contacts.

Me too, it started on virus ROM, I wiped and flashed calkulin, still getting the same Fc's. It hasn't done it today, I do get a Fc of com.HTC.bp or something like that lately too, I cant figure out what's causing it or where its located in the ROM. I was thinking something may have happened to my hardware but I guess im not the only one now.

Android Market not showing all downloaded apps in "my apps" section??

I've had this issue with the Android Market 3.1.5 (and lower) - stock 2.3.4, no root.
Usually if I get a notification that I have an app update and click on it, it takes me to the my apps section however there are only the paid apps i've bought sitting there. Not the other 90 apps that I've downloaded free.
I go and clear data and that works sometimes. And other times it doesn't. I've submitted the problem to Google but I was wondering if others see this behavior and if there are any work arounds???? It's real frustrating.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Market. Rebooted phone, pulled battery. Even done a factory reset. This happens on my E4GT and my Evo4G.

If you restored a backup chances are market links were restored and you will have to wait for an update or unstall and reinstall the app

I have the same issue, I prefer the older market version (wich does show all my apps, and shows the updates better also), but it wont allow me to keep it from updating for some reason, even if I freeze market updater.
it always upgrades to 3.15 after a few times going into market
this has been happening to me since I got the phone. I rooted and then went back to stock kernel, which kept me rooted. I restored my titanium backup apps with data and I believe that may have something to do with it.
as soon as I see that I have updates I know I will have to go to applications and clear data and reopen and it will then show me all of my apps again.
I talked with Google's Market help today. They know about this and are trying to figure it out.

Why do my gapps keep force closing?

Why? Happens randomly... and frequently... one is usually followed by several in short succession, and then it will stop and go away until the next out burst of gapps force closing comes along...?

Same issue here with mine, not rooted, all stock, gapps keeps crashing constantly when trying to use web browser or certain other features included with the phone. Annoying.
Not interested in rooting or flashing anything until development gets a bit more stable.
I had this problem on my og galaxy nexus, clearing data from the phone/contacts apk fixed it. Not sure if it applies here but it's worked for me in the past.

In my experience it is a problem with sync internet. Clear all the data from whatever browser you use and it should stop

It does it to me too all the time and seems random. Didn't think much of it because it happened on the touch pad running cm9. I assumed it was just an android thing. So this isn't normal?

settings -> apps -> all apps.
go to each gapp in the list and force stop, clear data & clear cache. reboot.
if that doesn't help, flash a custom recovery, clear cache and dalvik. fix permissions. reboot.
just suggestions.
Back up everything to Google and try a hard reset maybe?

Yea, I have a custom Recovery so I guess I will try to wipe cache and davlick and fix permissions see if that works other wise, I guess a hard reset is what imma have to do, even thought I don't want to ...that **** piss me off

Clearing the Chrome data worked for my phone...thanks.
A little late to the party on this but the only fix I found that worked was to deselect syncing of Google interne data (unmodded ATT GS3).
gapps forceclose issue
Same situation. SGH999 Galaxy S3. Why is this an issue?
I also do not want to deal with factory reset, wiping apps, etc.
Basically, taking phone off sync... NO F/C at all. Slide tab to SYNC,
F/C EVERY SECOND. I took screen shots, thinking this is so unreal.
There must be an inherent issue with Samsung & Google not playing nicely together this time.
This is my 2nd phone BEHAVING the SAME. TMobile not helpful. In Another thread, they contacted the
President of Samsung for overheating & excessive battery drain. He was sent a new phone, but will end
up with the same problems. I really thought this phone was going to be the shizne...

Camera: Unknown error by ErrorCallback

Hey guys,
I have a used Ace 2 that I recieved today and I'm getting that error when I launch the camera app. Doesn't seem to have been rooted or anything wrong. Tried factory reset, clearing caches, memory card, taking location off settings and third party apps. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Go to the shop to replace it
Sent from my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160
Which shop? I literally never go into town and don't think there are any samsung repair shops nearby. Also it's a used unit, so I guess may aswell just forget it or buy a whole new unit.. Does not feel like a software issue though.
Where did you bought it?
Edit: sorry, i just realized that it is used. What firmware does it have?
Sent from my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160
Oops; forgot about this thread. Thank you for taking your time to reply btw.
I'm not too sure which one is the firmware number but here is a screenshot of KIES which shows it:
http://i.imgur.com/q5RUG.png
and here's a screenshot of the about phone part in android:
http://i.imgur.com/C0PXI.jpg
As you can see from the android screenshot, it is rooted and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006183 - haven't had the time to flash anything else or do any other tweaks really. I'm not too sure what the issue is; the flashlight app does seem to work but very slowly as in the control is slow and sometimes it doesn't connect to the actual flash thingey with random errors. That Zoom MX app doesn't work either with a blank viewfinder and nothing happens when you press the take picture button.
That!s XXLK7 the newest firmware. Try to reflash stock rom. If it still doesn't work you have to replace the unit.

Bleh, tried that just now through the one at Sammobile. Unfortunately same problem, idk what's wrong. But I can't replace it as it's used, unless I spend another £150 which will take me like 5 months to earn..

Anyone have problems with new Maps?

The new google maps has been FC'ing like crazy on me when I try to use Navigation. It will eventually work after multiple FC's, but it rarely works right off the bat. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me? I'm rooted on tounchwiz.
No problems here just used navigation last night. And have the same set up rooted w/TW.. Not one force close! Might wanna try clearing data in the app, might help your problem!:what:

I've had problems. It doesn't seem to like the back button, or running in the background as its frozen a couple of times I've tried switching over and back from another program. I haven't tried again since the update earlier this week so some of the problems may have been fixed there. I figure with any major update like this, most likely needs time to work the kinks out.
If you can't even get it open, I suggest removing maps and reinstalling from the market, or if you're on a custom ROM, you can try clearing cache and Dalvik a couple of times and "dirty" flashing your current version again. That's fixed a lot of problem in the past. If that doesn't work, clean flashing is a good idea, not to mention half the fun of hanging out here on XDA.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem as op. I disabled some of map's processes in autostarts to prevent battery drain a long time ago though, so I guess that may be my problem. (It all worked great with the last version of maps which I preferred.) I'm also still on Cleanrom 4.0.5 so I plan to do a fresh install of 4.9 just in case since I also have issues with my stock browser crashing lately.
