Hi everyone,
I have a pretty strange problem. I have done a ton of research and seen it is common, but no one seems to have a solution. Anyways, I am unable to open neither Talk nor the camera app.
After booting the phone up, gtalk attempts to connect to the camera service. It is unavailable, so it immediately force closes. The same happens when I attempt to launch Talk.
I'm sure everyone is thinking: why don't you post a logcat, that would help. well.. I would if I could. According to alogcat as well as ADB the directory where the logcat is stored cannot be found.
I can tell from looking at the 'event log' after pushing the 'report' button when talk FC's that it is failing to launch due to a runtime error: 'failed to get camera info". This is really bothering me as I need my camera on my phone for my job.
I have flashed a few Roms in the past, but I have recently decoded to stick with the leaked stock. I've wiped EVERYTHING 5+ times, with no change. Restoring nandroids does not fix the problem either. No matter what ROM I flash, the problem remains. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

One thing that I know will work. Unroot relock. Then it should definitely be fixed.
Then reroot and unlock.
So camera can't open at all??? Like click the icon and then force close???
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
I had this issue before. Everytime I would try to open the camera, it would forcr close. What I did was flash back to the IMM76K factory stock image. No need to relock.

Where did you get the image you flashed from? I have found several, but they are just the ones that patch TO IMM76K.

seems to me that the roms you're using dont have the camera binary. adb logcat is unavailable? that's unheard of, since thats a part of android itself. even user variant builds have it. can't think of a good reason for logcat to be removed.
I wiped EVERYTHING via fastboot and reflashed the stock image as suggested. I managed to flash successfully, but camera was still unavailable.
Logcat is working now, and the problem is a runtime error; "unable to retrieve camera information"
Any idea how I can check to see if the binaries are the problem? This is very frustrating... and I don't see how its happening, to be honest. I'm fairly certain it is not a hardware issue because I am definitely not the only one having the issue.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The last guy who had this exact same problem also was unable to fix it. If you flashed all partitions to stock and it still doesn't work, a hw issue does come to mind.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I guess its a possibility. I think what I need is someone who is proficient with the android source code to look at the camera service and see what makes it throw that log error. It almost certainly an ""if/else 'whatever the problem is' doesn't exist or is not correct, log e 'the error I am seeing in the log cat'"
If I was proficient in navigating the source code, I would do it. But I wouldn't know where to look. I need assistance of someone that is capable of doing this.
Again, I appreciate any and all help or assistance. Thanks will be given where it is deserved!

Well, as far as my limited knowledge can tell, the camera binaries are included. I did some research and found out that the camera is called "ducati" and I navigated to /vendor/firmware and found the file attached in the screenshot. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :/

I ran a LogCat on my Galaxy Nexus Device (GSM), and can see before the dump begins it always happens right after the screen state gets set (*** Set_Screen_State 1)
I get usually all of my 'BugMailer' dumps when my phone is on the lock screen or being woken up!
This all Comes from a file called bugmailer.sh cant i just delete it?

I am also having this issue. By default, it wants to send the Bug Reports to my own email address, not very helpful. Has anyone figured out how to remove this? Or who at Google to send these to so we can annoy them with Reports until they figure out a solution?

Good idea, get a Google email address!
its just an automated bug reporting system. It doesn't send anything without authorization. I have seen this since running 4.0 sdk ports on my nexus s. What always pondered me was the emails it creates are from ME to ME which isn't reporting it to anyone who gives an ish
There is a file in /system/bin called bugmailer.sh if you rename it to something like bugmailer.sh-old then reboot it should stop

Please what is the best way.. im really fed up of texting someone and it slows down taking a screenshot with personal information displayed then opening gmail with it.. then i look in my drafts every night to find 40+ drafts with bugs and lots of screenshots!

I have the verizon galaxy nexus and i somehow accidentally uninstalled nfc.. Last month i tried installing one of the hacked google wallet ports for the nexus. I installed it through the clockwork recovery, and made sure to make a backup before doing this. That version of google wallet didnt work right, so i just deleted it with root explorer. When i found out that google wallet can now be installed from the market, i immediately downloaded it to try it out, but every time i tried to open it, it would get an error. So i went to my backup and attempted to copy the old nfc files back to the system folder (i/e: NfcGoogle.apk and com.android.nfc_extras.jar), but that failed to work.
So any ideas on how to fix this and get nfc working again?
Im kinda new to android as a whole, this phone is my first smartphone. Im hoping this is a simple fix and i dont have to to a factory restore or anything. My phone is rooted too if that helps, and I still have the google wallet files i intalled too.
The attachment is a screenshot of what my wireless and networks menu looks like.
Any help is appreciated
"Secure Element Not Responding" ?
If that's the case, sorry, you need a new phone.
You shouldn't have installed any hacked Google Wallet in CWM.
It said that when I had the nfc files from the hacked google wallet..but with the old files it just says "unfortunately, wallet has stopped" ..and I know that now, at the time I just found the easiest guide to follow for installing it though.

Sorry man, you borked NFC.
You might be able to use it again by flashing back to stock images, but you won't be able to use Google Wallet again, that's for sure.
If you can, try to get an exchange
Huh oh well , I guess ill just give up on using nfc..its not too important to me. Its just too bad I won't be able to use a feature of the phone.
@samsuck Maybe I will flash the stock images sometime this weekend and see if that fixes anything..hopefully it will bring back at least some nfc functionality. Oh and I'm pretty sure its too late for me to exchange phones 0.o

I don't know when this started, but all my cards show an "unexpected error" message. Last time I know it worked was October 7. I've had this problem for a few weeks. I can hit try again but just get the error again. I updated to this version and still have the problem. I'm on PA for VZW.
Has anyone used the app to request a Google Wallet card from Google? Like here: http://phandroid.com/2012/11/01/google-wallet-credit-card/
I haven't been able to find a menu where I can request a physical card. Maybe it's only on the source-built Wallet?

Same issue here. I think its something to do with our hardware. Also if I use the wallet app in the play store everything works but when trying to add card, request failed. I also noticed that about section says Google secure element version not present. A quick search revealed that the "secure element" may have been soft bricked thus causing the request failed error. Further research also shows that it can be fixed by removing your device from wallet using a PC. Then remove app, reflash. I haven't reflashed yet as I have far too many customizations. Someone try this and let me know

I was getting the same error. I contacted google wallet support through email and after a lot of back and forth, they got it working. I don't know what they did but there is a fix. Here is the response I got from them;
Hello,
I apologize for the delayed response. There have been some new updates in regard to your issue. These steps should help in resolving the
issue. If you have already taken these steps, please do so again. Can you please reset the device? You can do this by navigating to app
Settings > Reset -OR-- by navigating to the Android system Settings >Apps > Wallet and select ‘Clear data'. Then, reset the app by logging
into wallet.google.com/manage, disable your device then set up your
account again.
If this does not solve the issue, please inform us so we can
troubleshoot further.
Now, I have run through these steps probably 30 times, with no success. I flashed back to stock and still nothing. That tells me that they have finally figured it out. Funny thing is I RMA'd my phone and the day that I got notice that my new device has shipped, they got it working. Anyway, thought I'd post for others who have probably been pulling their hair out trying to get a fix for the app. Help is on the way (probably)
I have consulted Google support about the card adding issues this is the official response.
Hello,
Thanks for your email.*I understand that you are having issues adding cards to Google Wallet mobile application on your device.*I can see here that you're experiencing a known bug which prevents your device from being able to add your cards to the Wallet app, which we are actively working on. If you have not already, I recommend resetting the Wallet app and trying again periodically while we attempt to resolve the issue.*
Thanks,

If you have any additional questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.

Now I don't know what's the deal with the gapps included wallet, or the one provided by roman since it won't even initiate but I recommend you guys try the one on play store.
