The camera has stopped working randomly. The only thing I could think of that might of caused it would be the phone some how shut down when it was in my pocket. When I start up the camera app it immediately closes. When I attempt to use Google goggles, it says cannot connect to camera. What can I do?
First off you can give us some more details as to what software you are running. Are you on a stock Sprint ROM? A custom ROM? Did you install any software and then notice this change? Does this happen 100% of the time?
I'm running the stock 2.2 rooted odexed rom. Stock kernel. And haven't installed any new software to cause this...
I've cleared cache, dalvik cache, camera app's cache and it still doesn't work...
No one has any idea? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
It happens to me on both ava stock 2.2 and now netarchys 2.2... I have to wipe everything to get it back for a few hours... it just did it to me again do you have netarchys fps fix?

This is the craziest thing ever. The camera has returned to working after 10 hours of not working. I didn't do anything to get it to return. I will be continuing to monitor the camera to see if it happens again... This is the first time it has ever happen and the first time I've been on a 2.2 Rom for a significant amount of time.
This just barely happened to my phone too! Grrrr!!!
I'm running Fresh.02 + I tried flashing several kernels to see if it would fix it but none of them helped.
kernels I tried, latest versions of: kingX, snap, netarchy
Will try to do a full wipe and flash the stock 2.2 rooted w/o any fancy mods. <--- ok this fixed it!
Does installing the 3D Gallery app cause the Sense camera app to randomly stop working?
I'm getting the same problem again on a different ROM.
UPDATE: I've uninstalled 3D Gallery & cleared data on the Camera app and it still doesn't work.
i am having this same problem. have flashed several roms with no fix. cannot pin point when this happened either. really frustrating. ive done reboots, wipe, you name it.
happened to me

Hi guys
Any luck with this problem? I'm using a rooted xperia neo running [email protected] #2 with an unlocked boot loader - I've used Google goggles many times before and then today its coming up with "Cannot connect to camera. You may need to restart your device" and yet the camera is working because behind this pop up I can see the image that the camera is seeing. I've tried to take a screen shot of this but the screen shot uses the camera and therefore I blanks out the image through the back lens.
I've also uninstalled the app and reinstalled it - cleared all Dalvik cache - as well as moved it to SD and made it a system app - none of these trials have made any difference.

Are you sure there are no problems or known bugs with the rom you are using? Have you tried reflashing your rom? (it might be a pain to do, but something in the rom might have broke and it can help to start fresh).
I never post here but I have had a problem with my phone's camera that I fix by some random thread I found a while ago so I thought I would share what helped me. The thread stated it is something to do with the camera's connection to the phone and sometimes with drops or bumps of the phone it becomes loose. All I had to do was turn the phone face down, put my thumb over the camera and press down with some force. Not enough to break it but just to reseat the connection. After that, restart the phone. I have done this a few times and it has been successful ever time. I hope you guys have the same success.

That is correct, in some cases i have found the camera has come unseated. but it could also be the board.
After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Yup here too. Almost reminds me of XP. Really ticking me off & it never happened on gingerbread. Rooted now & before I'm on rogers 4.0.4. wondering if there's going to be fix? Haven't seen if Google / rogers /at&t have commented?

I'm getting the freezes as well even after doing a factory reset.
It sucks, I'm waiting for cyanogen to release a stable release and then I'm switching.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.

Very sorry if I missed a fix for this I've looked everywhere and played around for 3 days trying to fix the issue myself... anyways every JB rom I've downloaded and installed for Verizon's gnex gives the same result if my battery goes completely dead I can not boot past the Google screen I can do a pull and load up clockmod but that does nothing wiped everything reinstalled roms on the clean wipe still hangs on Google only way I can fix it is to unroot flash stock and try again I did just say to heck with it I'll just not let my battery drop below 5% and all should be well... well today seemed a little laggy so I though a reboot would help had around 75% battery and it happened so though maybe my phones just special loaded ics back on it rooted and have been trying to make it repeat nothing anyways just wanted to see if this is a issue for JB or if I'm doomed to a life of ICS ?
Thanks for any help and sorry for being long winded
Ahemm...
Vzw gnex? JB? Not sure what you're talking about.. I thought JB is only available on GSM. Isn't vzw an Lte model?
Edit: oh it seems there is a port.

I had the same issue. What I did was wipe using super wipe (on the android HD threads by mike) and then installed the rom again. Now, you need to realize that it is actually NOT getting stuck on the Google logo, you just need to give it time. Everytime I reboot I have to let it sit for a little bit for it to get passed that screen. Try out the Trinity JB kernel, I use it and its pretty good.

+1 worked like a charm
Anyone have issues turning on bluetooth while running the new 4.0.3/4.0.4?
It takes me a good dozen trys for it to turn on.
nope, no problem at all
maybe you just need a good clean & wipe, to re-install everything from scratch again, instead of restoring backups

I have tried doing that, along with multiple different roms. Always do a darkside wipe, than factory wipe before rom in stall, than darkside cache wipe and factory cache and davik wipe after.
have you tried using just a plain stock rom via ODIN?
just trying to rule out if it's a hardware problem or software problem
if it's a hardware problem, it shouldn't even work at all, so it still seems like just some piece of software preventing you from properly enabling/disabling bluetooth
I too will have intermittent Bluetooth issues with a couple of 4.0.x ROMs and I did not use any app restores. Usually a phone reboot gets it working again though.
OK - installed Clones/Drones v4 ICS yesterday, and Bluetooth will not turn on today - just stays at attempting to turn on bluetooth.... And yes I followed in install procedures to a tee. Will try a different ROM today.

Yes, I still have the same issue after 2 repair attempts by samsung. First attempt, they flashed the firmware, second attempt, they replaced a component. (Never told me which component)
When I try turning on bluetoot, it just seems like it's trying to enable itself, but just hangs. I have to restart the phone several times before it works again.
I have an SGH-T989 factory unlocked and using it with Straight Talk
I'm using stock 4.0.4 and I've only had my phone crash once, and that was when I turned on blue tooth and quickly closed the status bar and tried to open an app. It just rebooted and was fine after that.
The blue tooth on this phone turns on almost instantly compared to my old Galaxy Ace though. Either way, I think there are a few blue tooth issues with this phone, just not ones that I notice as severely as the OP

FYI: I have a stock Galaxy 2 and after the recent update, I'm getting bluetooth issues when connecting to my car, bluetooth stops.
I notice that sometimes when I open the notification menu, and press the button to switch to the quick toggles, sometimes it stutters a bit, like it's loading something.
Does anyone know why this happens?

Is it on stock or custom ROM?

I'm pretty sure it happens on both.
I actually changed back to stock yesterday, but I think I've already seen the problem.
I was thinking, maybe it could be happening to me because I've got one of those problematic eMMCs...

Ahh, I'm not sure. Have you cleared your dalvik cache? (I'm sure you have, just checking to be sure!) Usually when I flash a custom ROM I try it out dirty first [no wipe] (to find the lags like you experienced.) I find what fixes it is usually factory resetting and wiping dalvik cache right AFTER flash the ROM and kernel (if your flashing a kernel as well.)

Edit - because you say ALSO on stock, it does make me curious! Are you on 4.2.2 or 4.3? Or even 4.1.2 for all I know.
