[Q] Camera not working. Please help - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

So I bought a used Gio, everything was fine, until I decodeed it, because it only worked with a Vodafone card and now the camera application won't work. It starts fine, but then it's all black. You can still see the options on the side of the screen and everything. It's like if I would've put my finger in front of the camera. I wen't to a phone service, they sad that it's because of the Cyanogenmod, but then I put back the stock rom, and still, nothing's changed. Please help

i think the problem it is in hardware.

Camera issue

Has anybody else had an issue with the camera view having multi colored lines and the it freezes. Sometimes if I do it fast enough I can take the picture and it looks great. I am all stock btw and it has been doing this straight out of the box.

Clear data on camera app and let me know if it continues
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
yeah, it still continues after i clear data. tried a factory reset and it still continues. just rooted and im gonna install another rom to see it my factory camera app was somehow corrupted. i dont think its a hardware issue, but i guess we will find out.
Edit: Still does it. If i force stop the camera app after it freezes and try to reopen it, it will just pop up with the camera symbol then instantly close.

Try a different camera app perhaps?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Sounds like a software issue i would root and try a different camera app like knipp suggested you could also try adb pushing a new camera app if you dont want to root but keep a backup of your original if you go that route. Or try one from the market im not positive but I think they may rely on the stock app
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
If it's still doing it with another ROM it's a hardware issue and you need to return while under warrentee still.
The ones from the market dont work, i do think that they rely on the stock camera. besides the ones from the market, i dont know what to try.
Edit: I did try 2 different roms, one with stock kernel and one with custom kernel and it still does it. Guess im gonna have to unroot and bring it back to Verizon. Would they give me a new one right there or do you think i would have to wait for them to mail me another one, i bought it brand new and have only had it since friday. Been doing this right out of the box.
They will most likely mail you a new one with a box to mail the Old one back in

I am very pleased with my local Verizon store today. I went in and told them the problem and without any hassle they opened up their cabinet and handed me a brand new box. Camera works great on this one and I am a happy camper.
Edit: they also gave me a $50 mail in rebate on top of the discounts that I already got online.

Did you unroot the old phone first?
Of coarse

Proximity sensor/ auto brightness not working?

I have been doing a bit of searching around, haven't seen to run in to much.
But my proximity sensor doesn't work..at all along with auto brightness. All of this worked before and I'm running stock rooted.
I've had the phone for 3 days.
I read some where that it could be Google voice but I uninstalled that and it still doesn't work.
Should I return the phone for another? Or could it just be conflicting applications?

Wondering this myself I'm on the newest build of aokp and it seems like the auto brightness is not working

Try the Sensor List app...
Went to AT&T and they said something about DoA and brought out a new S3 that worked properly. Even let me keep the battery from the messed up S3.
But I tried resetting and restoring the phone, re flashed stock latest AT&T rom and the sensors still didn't work. So I reset the flash counter of 1 from rooting I suppose and had my device replaced.

I'm also wondering if there is an app or some reliable way to test the proximity sensor

4.2 Camera fully working!

I've gotten it to fully work on my phone. I started from scratch. Factory reset, flash ROM, install everything you want or need, except leave the gapps files off. Rebooted my phone and installed the vending.3.9.16.apk. No problems with any of it yet.
I take that back. Having FC's after opening and closing both of the a few times. Don't know what exactly it is with the gapps that's effecting it but as long as I leave it out it works perfect.
I have CM10 installed and everything thing works on this camera except the regular camera function will freeze after first shot, unless you manual focus first.

This is exactly what is happening with me as well. I got tired of it hanging so I went back to stock cm camera

I keep it installed but i just use stock camera instead. The new features all work fine, plus the new gallery is pretty slick. There will be a fix for this problem soon I am sure.

Help, Gyroscope problem?

I just noticed right now that my phone keeps thinking its being held In landscape mode. When I go in youtube app or gallery I cant get my phone to play videos full screen. Im thinking its a problem with the gyroscope. I opened up camera to see wich way it thinks its being held and everything is upside down (I attached screen shot). I'm running jedi x9 and just wiped everything and reflashed jedi rom and problems still there. I did the gyroscope calibration before and after wipe/flash. Nothing seems to be helping. I did edit the etc files in system but only the default gain.conf any idea or help is great. thanks in andvance.
