hi there
After the update to 4.2 the video function of my camera stopped working. And the pictures i take have a touch of green and thery are blurred/cloudy.
I tried to flash it back to 4.1.2 and to 4.0.4 (with the official factory image) but still the camera didn`t work.
I unsinstalled Gallery.apk with Titanium Backup/root, and installed in manuel back on.
Still the same problems,
Could you help me please to fix my Camera app.
Thank you,
and is there an system check app, to find the problem?
thank you

So I used to be able to use the front facing camera no problem for video chats. There used to also be a button to swap back and forth from front to back cameras. Now the button is gone and I'm stuck on the back camera. Any suggestions? Reflash the Talk app?
What ROM are you running?
evodeck...but it fixed itself. No idea what the problem was after searching all day on the forums today. I was just about to reflash some different modded versions too.
I installed an APK for Gtalk 1.3 video on my stock rooted EVO 4G (android 2.3.3 build 4.24.651.1) and it caused the stock camera app to close when switching to front facing camera. I have tried everything from clearing data for camera app, clearing dalvik cache and reflashing gtalk video apk, restoring stock gtalk with Titanium backup, Full factory reset (still rooted), and finally flashing stock RUU 4.53.651.1 and then running RUU 4.54.651.1 .exe. Even after full RUU reset with no apps installed the camera app still closes upon attempting to switch to FFC. Could it be that somehow Gtalk 1.3 video actually killed the camera hardware? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi, I recently updated my camera using the system software update and since then the rear camera no longer focus's at all. I have tried wiping my phone and the camera still no longer focuses but it tells me a camera update is available (the same one as i installed before) and after updating the camera still does not work meaning it could not have been the update causing the problem.
I am unrooted on android 4.2.2.
If anyone can help that would be great! thanks:good:
Hello!
I recently updated to 4.3 and rooted the device using Odin, however the default camera app is no longer responding - it gives me the following error message: "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working".
Things I've done to try and fix it:
1- cleaned cache and data but that didn't solve the problem.
2- also reset the device to factory through settings but it didn't work either
3- re-install camera.apk (wouldn't install using Titanium)
4- install new stock camera from 4.3 rom (installed but got the same message)
5- manually replaced the files for the camera (system/app/SamsungCamera.apk and SamsungCamera.odex) AND Gallery (SecGallery2013.apk and SecGallery2013.apk) with new ones
Issue still persists...
Any ideas? Pls help.
Thanks!
if you're using xpose mod and wanam update to the latest wanam.

Thanks but it didn't work.
I got it solved today thou in an unexpected way by actually using the Back up feature within ROM Manager - the phone went into back up mode (like recovery mode where you see the little android robot and command lines), waited until the back up process was finished then rebooted without choosing the option to "fix possible root loss" warning. After that camera was finally back again.
Then I recalled that the last time I've done this back up through Rom Manager there was some sort of problem during the process which interrupted it so I realize now that somehow it affected the camera (have no idea how they relate thou) - but the fact is that as soon as it successfully finished the back up the issue was automatically fixed. Weird, stupid and very rare, I know... At least is fixed!

Not to thread jack, but do you have the apk for the stock camera app from 4.3? Thanks in advance
I've had exactly this same problem. Do I have to run a backup to fix it?
I have a known camera issue in which I cannot solve.
My camera does not work. Any app that tries to get to the camera fails.
I know that is not an hardware issue because on stock ROM the camera works.
Crash report:
java.lang.RuntimeException: startPreview failed
at android.hardware.Camera.startPreview(Native Method)

NOTES ַ& UPDATES
- I updated my firmware to NE4 so I cant install CM11
- I noticed that on CWM recovery its asks to ROOT my phone if I dont have one. This ROOT makes to phone to not detect the camera even on stock ROM.
- I used S3Rx_UCUFNE4_AROMA_11-9-14 to install the stock ROM. The camera wont work until I removed the KNOX app.
- I have tried to install ROM cm-10.2.1-d2att_for_NE4 and its the same problem
- Installing different kernels make my phone stuck on bootloop.
- The camera worked for one time only on CM10 after enabling " temp unroot" and than remove it in superuser app. But after this its not working.
Here is that things that I have tried:
- I checked to camera with no SD card so that gallery is empty.
- I updated my firmware from UCUFNE4 to UCUFNE4.
- I have installed different camera apps.

IDEAS
I think that the problem is with the kernel or something with the ROOT.
Any room expect the stock one have broken camera.
I WILL GIVE BIG DONATION TO THE ONE WHO WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE
There is a corrupt image or video file in your gallery that is preventing the camera from connecting. Look in your gallery for any recent files that just show a black square for their thumbnail and then delete them.
After that, clear data for your camera app and maybe even restart your phone just to be safe. It should work.

[Q] [HELP] Getting "warning:Camera Failed" error popup when camera app is opened!
I keep getting this when I try to open my camera or any other third party camera application .
i tried clearing the cache , factory reset, hard reset and also removed Sd card n tried, still nothing.
But i am able to use the front camera on snapchat or on a hangout video call alone. If i tried to switch cameras ,they would just crash.
A fix would be really helpful!!
PS:
i bought the phone elsewhere and cant return it or exchange it
