Try to clear the cache on it the camera app from the menu if that doesn't work push on your camera lens if it fixes it then its hardware .
Well if it happened after you just did an update, its likely that update is the problem. Flash a nandroid from the previous version you were running and see if it's still there.
Try physically pushing the camera in with moderate pressure and see if that helps. Sometimed they come slightly unseated.

The glass on the camera does not have a polarizing filter on it, if that's what you're asking. If it's taking pictures as if it was going through a polarizer then you've got some real weirdness going on with your camera.
Edit: No idea if it's a software or hardware issue, could be either one or both honestly. Can you show some examples of what it's doing?
Well when I entered my cam app the camera looks like I turned the polarize skin on but the ffc is perfectly fine. I've rebooted three times and its still doing it. I haven't flashed anything in about a week it just randomly started doing this... if one more reboot doesn't work I'm gonna try leaving the battery out for an hour or two hopefully that fixes it. I wiped the cam cache and restored default settings. I also tried pressing the cam slightly and that's not the issue. As far as being dislodged or loose that's not the issue. I think its either something inside the cam or just a weird bug in the app itself. Thanks for the tips ill check back in an hour or two with a status update.

Again, rebooting will NOT fix this issue. You need to re-flash a nandroid from before you updated. Or, better yet, flash a stock rom and see if it works in there. Constantly rebooting will not fix this issue, as its either a problem with the cam software, or the hardware. You can easily rule out software by flashing a stock rom.
@sitlet
I didn't flash an update ... plus anyway good news! I left the phone off with battery removed for about 8 hours and now my camera works perfect again! Don't really know what caused it to happen just glad its done with! And hope it doesn't happen again! (Knocks on wood)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i know what your talking about its happened to me before happened to me due to a strong magnet being close to the lens(worked at walmart and Electronics keys have strong magnets) basically before i took the picture it seemed like i had the polarized filter on but it really wasnt had to take the phone in for repair
@djnarcotics
Exactly! However it keeps coming back so I'm taking my phone to sprint on Friday my deposit plus insurance should be able to replace my phone wouldn't mind a new evo or evo shift

I was having the same issue, I had to press on it kinda hard and it clicked a little bit then it started working. I was having the exact same issue pushing on it worked. I was just nervous about pushing on it too hard , I didn't want to break it.
:good:
I tried searching the forum, all i found were people telling each other to take out the battery or send it back to samsung...
if you find a link that covers my problem, i humbly apologize please direct me to the thread.
okay:
i bought an s3 off kijiji (craigslist equiv) the camera does not work.
I click the camera app, app loads, picture is black, then a dialog box saying camera has failed pops up, app crashes. Repeat.
So I bought a new rear camera, i put it in and guess what! same problem.
I tried every software thing i could think of (post and pre new camera). I tried different roms, CM/PA/STOCK Mod, no luck.
I tried going into the firmware service menu with a touchwiz rom and making the two firmware numbers match as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006128
I tried going into app settings stopping the camera app and clearing the cache.
Now i am out of ideas and i seek better men/women to help me.
I have a new camera, i just bought, and the old camera.
oh before i forget: I saw the old camera work only once since i bought it, it loaded up randomly and was all glitchy green lines running down the picture. It loaded up with the front facing camera part which to me worked fine, then when i went to rear camera it did the glitchy ****.
sorry if my post is hard to read, im tired, and frustrated with this thing.
the phone is sitting here all dissassembled waiting for the next step.
are there any diagnostic tools i can dl that checks the motherboard and each camera (front, and back) individually?
nothing huh?

Sounds like hardware failure to me man,. sorry to say it. Have you used odin to bring you back to full stock? did the device come rooted?
There are 2 tests you could do (though they're probably the same). This requires you to be on a stock ROM.
From the dialler, enter:
*#0*# General Test Mode
*#7353# Quick Test Menu
Then, the choices are obvious.
Look at the board closely. Examine the traces on the board coming from the camera connections and where the camera connectors plug into the board for any signs of a white powdery substance. Dendrites will form on circuit boards and short out the associated electronics. If you don't have a warranty, it would be worth it to get some high grade isopropal alcohol and give the board a good rinse. You may even scrub the affected area with a good clean tooth brush and then flush it again. Let it dry thoroughly and then reassembly it. It would help to get some of that canned air and blow it off as well. I've had that work more than once on delicate electronics that have gone south.

using odin to bring back to full stock is the only thing ive yet to try.
When i got the phone it wasn't rooted.
I guess the last thing i will do is try the new camera with ODIN stock.
i really doubt it would make a difference.

that is the first thing i did actually. i was afraid it may of been water damage. the phone is taken apart infront of me right now. I dont see any sign of white spots. it looks clean as a whistle.
I really dont understand why its still failing even with a new camera.
DO any of you know weather If only the front camera fails will the entire camera app fail?
Also the front camera and the proximity sensor are tied together as one unit. and the proximity sensor works fine.
also ive mentioned that ive seen the camera work once. so ....I just dont know...
It's either a hardware problem (other than the camera itself), or it's a software problem. I would revert to stock & run one of the hardware tests I mentioned previously. That should rule in or out a software cause.
Update:
I used :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882&highlight=unroot
to unroot and go full stock...
still nothing.
i did those tests from *#7353# Quick Test Menu
it fails on both rear and front camera..And the REAR camera is the new one?!?!?! wtf.
does anyone know if one camera does not work they both dont? (since i replaced my rear camera, it may of been the front camera this whole time that didnt work.) i wish i was rich so i can buy another phone to test my hardware with.
do you think its a mainboard problem? - i guess thats all that is left.....

I experienced the same problem last few days. It started the next day I rooted the phone. I tried all the ways I found on the net, none worked for me. I even formatted the internal drive. Problem was still there.
Then I flashed Task650's AOKP rom and surprisingly the camera started to work. So I guess it maybe as stated in the forum, the driver, for some reason, was not in the correct folder. I guess flash any 4.2.2 rom will fix the problem. I am now running on liquid rom. Hope this can be a little help?
ive been on 4.2.2 PA

out of pure desperation i tried this method.
and it did not work same old message
either
gallery has failed
failed to open camera
worth mentioning:
when i am in stock rom, there is a feature that detects your eyes to make sure the screen should stay on. It works. It says it uses front camera to achive this functionality but...alas my camera does not work.
What can i do to help you help me.
im totally at a loss for words i dunno what to do
I was experiencing the problem last week on Stock Rogers ROM 4.1.1.
I tried restarting, battery pulls, formatting and taking apart the phone to disconnect/reconnect the camera.
Nothing worked and I was convinced it was a hardware problem.
As a last resort I flashed the stock Rogers 4.1.2 update and the camera started working again.
I flashed back to 4.1.1 and the camera stopped. Not sure what was causing the problem though.
If your on the new 4.1.2 bootloaders and running 4.1.1 the rear cam won't work, flash the old lk3 bootloaders.

It looks like a software problem
I had the same problem.
Rear and front Camera gave SOMETIMES "Camera Faild" error.
It looks like a software problem which uses the camera or the flash.
Many users saying that the problem is resolved after signin out from Skype.
For me the case was the Flashligt software. You can try to find out which software can be the cause.
I hope this is the problem and you all will find out the software which causes the error.

[Q] "Cannot connect to Camera" on Stock/Stock based ROM after Play Services 09/19
Hey guys,
So recently Google Play Services updated itself and my camera suddenly stopped working. Yesterday when this happened, I got the "Cannot connect to Camera" error running Task650's initial 4.3 release. I decided maybe it was time for a clean odin and decided to update through Samsung Kies to initialize the firmware to stock. This wiped everything including internal SD so it was a completely fresh start. I then tried using the camera, and it worked for about fifteen minutes until all the updates through Google Play came in. As soon as play services updated, the next time I tried running my camera I got the same Cannot connect to camera message, except this time on a completely stock, un-rooted ROM. I then decided that maybe I should flash again, so I did, making sure to wipe everything. It was working, but this time I kept auto updates off and didn't update any ROMs.
Next, I rooted and flashed Dandroid 4.7 and my camera was working flawlessly all day. Until I tried using snapchat and it required a google play services update. To verify my theory, I updated, and voila, my camera was no longer functional.
So my question is, is there any way around using Google Play Services, or is there a way to flash a version of the app thats not the oldest, but before the newest update? Cause currently I can only revert to factory settings which seems to upset a lot of apps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Additional info in case you need it: SGH-I747M from Fido. Stock Kernel. Currently running Dandroid 4.7 but this problem has appeared on un-bastardized TW as well as AOKP.
UPDATE: I now also get the Camera failed error instead of Cannot Connect to Camera
Now even if I uninstall Play Services updates my camera won't come back online. It's dead forever
Have you tried clearing data and cache for camera, followed by a reboot?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2
I'm in the same boat as you. I originally had the problem using Hyperdrive and a phone without a camera is close to useless so I tried task650's rom again due to having such good experiences in the past with it. My camera worked for a day and I wasn't paying close enough attention to my phone to be able to make an accurate prediction as to why it stopped. I'm considering throwing my hands up in the air and blaming AT&T in hopes of getting a new phone because I've gone stock and back multiple times with the same problem. I can only speculate what the problem is though..would a logcat be beneficial in any way to help narrow this down?
Side note leading up to camera problems: For a while my phone's accelerometer was severely bugged and forced my screen into landscape. Even root apps claiming to force screen orientation modes failed to fix this problem. After this I went bone stock and then used Hyperdrive for a month. 3 weeks in and my camera started acting up; I couldn't take a normal picture, every one was corrupted and had colorful bars blocking over 50% of the image. This problem was fixed by taking about 4 very different pictures in terms of brightness and colors. Later though both the stock camera that comes with Hyperdrive and the AOSP camera would crash whenever I tried using my front facing camera. This eventually led me to where I am currently using task650's rom with no functioning camera. Please help D:
I'll help in every way possible to fix this problem.

Perhaps your camera hardware is faulty. I'm not really sure what in Google play services would make your camera not work.

It did not fix it permanently. I was going to edit my post but I'm a new user still and got distracted during the 5 min post limit. Switching to the front facing camera makes the problem come back. Tonight I'll be going bone stock and if the problem persists would that be proof of hardware failure?

I wouldn't assume its a hardware ASAP but it could be a bug caused by Google. Try going to stock by Odin to see if issue still occurs.

Already tried this multiple times, but thank you! Anyway I sent it back to Samsung to get everything dealt with. I thought might as well report all the other things wrong with it (over heating, slow charging, and now the camera). They said up to 21 days, and gave me the ****tiest Blackberry I have ever seen as a loaner phone. I hate Canadian cell phone carriers. I remember back in the states they'd replace it on the spot under manufacturer's warranty. Seriously **** Fido.
Anyway I'm done ranting and that was off topic so I guess I'll report back here when my phone is back and we'll see if it was hardware or not. Thanks everyone!
Okay after going back to stock my rear camera worked upon opening the application, but when I switched to the front facing camera I got the "can't connect to camera" error and the app force closed. And once you switch between either the rear or front camera, the selected one will become your default...regardless if I clear data/cache for the gallery application and reboot (this worked the first time I switched to the front camera though but not anymore). So now I have no functioning camera and I'm one month out of the 1 year Samsung warranty so I'm pretty frustrated with my situation because I take pictures daily with my phone. Tomorrow I will take the phone to a highly rated cell phone repair shop in my area since I found OEM parts on ebay including a front facing camera and I'm confident they'll be able to replace it.

Don't pay for them to replace the front facing camera for you. You can it yourself. Its an easy fix.. Just have the screw driver and patience to follow a YouTube video on opening the S3. I assure you that once you see how to do it (simple unplug from motherboard) you'll thank me for saving you repair and labor fees.

Hey guys. I know this is an old thread, but I'm just posting since my problem is now resolved and if in the future anyone else has this problem they can learn from mine.
So the service center for Samsung here in Montreal is absolute crap, and it took them three tries, over three months, to fix my phone. The final repair code given was 072 and the keyword was Solder (Ressouder in French) which I'm guessing means they had to re-solder the connection to the camera back to the motherboard. Seems to be working fine now.
Hello,
so for the past few weeks my camera hasn't been working and I finally decided to ask you guys for help.
It all started when I wanted to try RR but it kept asking for 21C modem so I quickly downloaded one and flashed it. So I checked what I needed and restored Fulmics from the nandroid backup I made, but the camera app stared to just crash and since then I pretty much don't have camera.
What I've tried till now:
Restoring to stock
Flashing Fulmics again
Replacing the camera
Still can't resolve this issue...
By restoring to stock, do you mean flashing a TOT or KDZ file?
If you have done that and still not working you have something broken in your hardware.
Is the front camera working?
I guess you have already tried a different camera app.

Ummm... sounds strange... maybe your camera is partly broken, did you drop your phone or something before this problem? If so, the camera could have a bad connection to the motherboard or is about to die.

I know right? I've never dropped it. I replaced the camera so I wonder if it can somehow be a software problem...
Just wanted to bump this as I STILL have this problem...
Same issue here, was running fulmics for several months with no issue, then suddenly and out of nowhere my camera app started to fail. At first the front camera looked stretched and weird and some app buttons dissapeared such as flash, but I could still choose front or rear camera and both worked fine. Then it got worse and the button to switch cameras dissapeared completely. I tried re flashing fulmics, tried xenon rom, tried back to stock... nothing so far. I tried booting in safe mode and the camera app gives me the option to choose rear camera but when I press it the app crashes.
I hope someone can find a fix for this!

No software update inbetween? Sounds like a hardware issue, try cleaning your connections and reattaching the Camera tightly.
The camera module is extremely close to the problematic overheating chip in the G3, so it's not impossible something got messed up.
I have Exactly the same problem.. Pleaaase someone give us a solution.. Fulmics ruined our phones
I have that same problem. Resolved?
There were fulmics rum. I decided to replace it with RR rom. The rear camera did not work, the flash did not work.
I installed a different kernel but it was not resolved.

Hi guys,last week a friend of mine dropped my phone onto the ground. Some hours later i discovered that both the camera's didnt work,popping a message.I tried clearing the camera cache,but nothing happened.Later on even the torch and the notification led didnt work properly,and now i dont have idea on what i have to do.Could it be a software problem? I'm actually running ResurrectionRemix 7.1,is it worth trying to rollback to stock? I already opened the phone and checked all the connectors,and it doesnt seem that they were disconnected or anything.(at least the front camera and the back one)
Any advices?

Rolling back to stock would be my first advice , hairline fractures in PCB/circuitry wont be picked up by human eye.

If it got dropped then stopped working, that pretty much indicates a hardware problem.

Hi guys,i managed to open the phone and to check all the camera cables,then it worked out of nowhere.So its pretty much solved.
