I couldn't seem to find any other threads about this topic. Every time I take a picture using the flash the phone crashes. I then have to take the battery out for a few seconds in order to power on again. It works fine when I don't use the flash. Anybody else having this problem?
I was searching the threads to see if someone already asked this, otherwise to make a thread on it but will post in here to see if someone have the same issue...
Ok, the issue the OP is stating has happened to me not only on Slim but almost in any ROM I have flashed (including the rooted stock ICS from Mr. X) , sometimes it do it and sometimes not... Camera without flash=works EVERYTIME...any thoughts guys?

I have the EVO Rooted (the real way) and ever since installing cy's senseless RC I've been having issues with the screen registering a tap on the top left corner about 1/4th the way down the screen so I'm constantly closing the calander or whatever else I have in that area, this is including programs, phone calls etc. I was literally fighting with my phone the other day. Now I've reinstalled a 2.1 rom and it didn't do it and I've installed multiple 2.2 roms and it still does it. I thought it might be the fps uncapping hack most people include so I figured once the stock rom from sprint came out and was rooted for us it would fix my problem. Wrong... Now I'm stuck between a rock and a sprint store as I can't make it happen constantly but it happens maybe 5 times throughout the day and I have to just wipe my fingers over the area of the screen and its usually fine. I want to install the Stock rom, essentially un-rooting my phone but then if that fixes the problem I cant take it back and exchange it at sprint. Or I cant make it happen for them and then I'm stuck again with a phone that I can't root. Any ideas guys, is this happening to anyone else? I've researched online and haven't seen anyone else with a similar problem.
first off, whats the "real way" for rooting?
if unrooting fixes your problem whats the problem? is there some reason you MUST have a rooted phone? are you doing anything that you otherwise couldnt do with a rooted phone?
many people are experiencing phantom screen presses (myself included), also many people arent.
if its a rom issue, then check in the dev secion for the rom and see if anyone else is having this problem. sounds like a screen problem.

The real way for rooting not the unrevoked method.
Every rom after a certain kernel version does it to my phone but I couldn't begin to guess which one with all of these different version floating about. I can flash back to EVOlutionX and it doesn't do it, not that I've seen yet. If unrooting my phone fixed the problem then as I said I obviously would not be able enjoy a rooted phone. I'm not even going to begin listing the benefits of a custom rom or creating my own which I've done in the past. I was going to post in all the particular rom threads but I figured instead of posting multiple repeated threads since it happens in ALL of them, then I would do the forums a favor and post in the general Q&A section as I did. So who else is having phantom screen presses as myself and nenn are, and have you done anything to correct the problem?
Update: I found a forum post on another site of a person who took the OTA update 1.47 completely stock and its doing the same thing. I think I'm going to wait until its happening and catch it on video and then flash back to stock and take the evo in for warranty replacement. Hopefully they will accept this as reason for replacement.
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.
Hi all,
I am new to flashing and have finally managed to get it right, i used the following rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827590
The only thing i noticed is that every time i try and use the camera it keeps crashing, as i am not allowed to post in the relevant forum yet i was wondering if anyone knew about this with this rom? i also notice that when i do take pictures via instagram or watch videos the picture sometimes becomes very scrambled like glitched.
One more thing i noticed is that sometimes when locking the screen also seems glitched but when i unlock and lock again this will usually fix
I would apreciate any help on this and thanks in advance.
Dan.

Hi!

Hello everyone,
Before people start asking me to search the forums, I have searched for months about this issue and I'm hoping that we'll finally get a proper answer from some kind devs who are willing to take time to really debug and trace this issue.
I got a Nexus 7 2013 a looong time ago, used it on pure stock, locked boot loader, no root, no recovery, nothing. All the way until KitKat and the issue was never resolved. Can't remember when it started but the rotation gets stuck just randomly throughout use and doesn't work anymore, sensors show no data as others have reported, etc. Reboot and voila it works again. Rinse and repeat.
So I tried unlocking and flashing CM11 M7 at last. Same thing.
The thing that drives me up the wall is how little attention the issue is being given. Google barely acknowledges it, and not a single hint in the XDA forums of where the issue originates. Kernel, ROM? It's obviously most likely fixable via software if a simple reboot can fix it... We just need someone to start debugging.
I'd appreciate it if anyone who has the same issue or info about it post it below
Thanks

No ideas other than to suggest that you do an RMA with ASUS. I just looked and I pre-ordered mine through Best Buy and it shipped July 26 of last year so you might still have time left on the one year warranty.
Hey, I hope this topic is still alive. Mine has exactly same issue as yours. It all started after I re- clean flashed Mahdi ROM (I messed up some stuff so I had to do it). Ive tried clean flash again, but it doesn't work. I've also tried different settings and apps but nothing helped. The only thing I found working is turning on lockscreen blur. For some reason, it makes the rotation work for a bit longer.
Hey guys,
i have been running Resurrection Remix on my z1c for a long time, it has been quite nice, till the random reboots started and i had massive battery drain. I waited 2 Updates and tried to fix it using some extended methods which i gathered in this forum.
Problem is, i found a good ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...nt/rom-z5mx-rom7-5-0extended-battery-t3227779) but now i am having huge troubles with my camera. A new install didn't fix the problem, another Camera app didn't solve it either.
The Problem is, the cam doesn't react properly, it has no automatic focus function or even shoots any pictures.
When i try to take a picture, it just freezes and doesn't react anymore. Just locking the screen and closing the app through recent apps will solve the frozen screen. I would have posted this in the same thread as the ROM, but i am not allowed to, since normally i don't post, since all the problems are usually solved by looking through the Threads,
thanks in advance!:good:

When you flashed Z5 Feature|MX ROM|7.8.0|Extended battery did you put a stock Z1C LP FW 23.4.A.1.216 on first.?
If you just put it onto your SD card and flashed it, then it's no wonder you're having problems as Resurrection Remix is a CM based rom. You need to have a stock folder/partition structure in place before you flash 'Z5 Feature|MX ROM|7.8.0|Extended battery'
The other thing you could try is DRM FUNCTION RESTORATION FOR UB DEVICE, maybe the camera is complaining about the lack of TA partition.
