Hello Folks
I am new to this website. I have a question. My phone is Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3. I flashed Cm10-20121125-nightly. Everything works fine except camera. When I took picture, My camera froze for a while and then saying that the Gallery not responding, When I close the camera and reopen camera, it says cant connect camera. If i took video or use sphereview, it works fine. Do you guy have any ideas what is going on? This drives me crazy.
Thanks
Please search next time. This has been covered.
What you need to do with the 4.2 camera is focus by touching middle of screen then take pic.

I'm running 10.0.0 stable version and I can't get the camera to focus either. I've tried tapping the screen and the [ ] box lights up but nothing changes.
I should mention I'm on the Sprint U.S. version of the phone. Just thought I'd ask here since this post came up when I started a new post in the Sprint section.
camera issue still unresolved
I've tried a number of things from different threads and nothing seems to help. I'm running CM 10 on AT&T Gs3. After flashing, camera app shows error saying "can not connect to camera". I know this is a common problem, but I cant seem to find a real solution.
I have the same problem with Beanstalk running the 4.3 Jellybean update. Do you have Focal installed on the phone ?
edit : My front camera don't work either, tanking a picture cause the phone to reeboot.
Can it have someting to do with the kernel ?
I am using SlimBean with lean-kernel and I don't have focal, but no reboots with frot facing camera...

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?
Hello
I've just received my Note 2 in the mail today, popped in the sim card and booted it up. Works fine and it's awesome.
When i checked out the camera, it launched fine and i was able to take perfect pictures using the rear camera, but when i switched to the front facing camera, it just came up with a warning saying "Kamera Mislykkedes" (Translated it means "Camera Failed") with 1 button saying "Okay" which would just close the camera app.
If i tried to relaunch it, it would stick to try and use the FFC and simply give the warning again and again.
If i go into Applications and clear all data from the Camera app, it would switch back to the rear camera and thus work again.
But i simply cannot get the FFC to work, i also tried downloading "Pudding Camera" off the market, and it does the same.
I found some other people having problems with older Samsung phones, and it can have something to do with some apps not releasing the camera app correctly after usage. But i haven't installed any apps that didn't come with the phone (except Pudding Camera, but it didn't work before that either).
Anyone got an idea? I really really really really don't want to have to send the phone back already because of a hardware issue, so that's why i'm here.

You can try if face unlook works.

Just a guess here but if a factory data reset doesn't fix it, it sounds like a hardware return sorry.
the exact scenario happened to me but with the back camera
Just flash latest stock rom

What did you do to get it fixed? I have a similar problem
I have a galaxy note gt n 7000 (galaxy note I) and had this camera fail problem 4 months ago. I have even bought a front camera module from china but the product still didn´t get here. It takes more than a month for these stuff to come to my house in Brazil. Well, anyway, I had given up on trying to solve the problem (that´s why I bought the module) and I usually flash 3 or 4 roms a month (love to mess). So, then, I flashed the ROM super nexus on my phone and opened the camera normally, because the rear camera never had problems and guess what... when the camera opened I saw my face. Scared to death. kkkk. Now, it´s my fourth day using the rom and the front camera is working nice.
I don´t believe most of the users are having hardware issues. I think there´s something related to JB update because ppl started complaining about these camera errors after the update... but who knows. Hope u all have the same luck I had.
=)
Updated to JB 4.1.1 and video camera not working, Gallery Stopped.
Updated to JB 4.1.2 same problem.
My camera and panorama are working fine.
Please help.
Thank you.
I'm having a similar problem.. last night, I attempted to use the TeslaLED widget to aid myself while walking my dog at night. To my chagrin, the light never came on. I wondered if it was the light itself, so I attempted to open the camera to take a picture... it immediately closed and showed "gallery stopped" for an error message. I rebooted the phone hopping that would fix the problem. The problem was still there after booting back up.
I was running a CM10 nightly that I've had for over a month. My Verizon Galaxy Nexus is rooted and unlocked. I attempted to flash a stable CM10, but am still having the same problem. I will attempt to flash stock tonight to see if that fixes it.
Gallery not working
Ever since JB 4.2.1 update...my gallery and camera no longer works! Tried clearing cached, hard reset but no luck. Next step might be to toss it out the window....
Ok, somehow its fixed! I had backed up my gnex via recovery mode before I installed the stable cm10. When that didn't fix my problem, I restored the backup do I didn't have to reconfigure everything again when I flashed stock later yesterday evening. But, to my surprise, restoring the backup fixed the problem!
I too am having an issue w/ my Gnex's camera. The app will open from the gallery, & the camera buttons are at the bottom of the screen, but the screen is black. You can push the button to capture a pic, but nothing happens, you can switch to record video & it locks up & FC's. Every now & then you can open the app directly from the camera widget, but it typically just goes to a black screen w/ the software keys at the bottom faded out & the phone just locks up. I replaced the camera w/ a known working camera from a parts Gnex I have. Same issue. I was running 4.1.2, but I've since upgraded to 4.2.2 hoping there was some sort of software fix. No dice... still doing the same thing. The isn't rooted... but I'm going to root it & throw on another ROM to see if I can get it working somehow... but outside of that, I don't know what else to do. Any new ideas?

I have the same problem... camera non working
No idea why??
I have a problem and after trying lots of thing I am stuck and don't know how to continue.
My S3 felt from a riding bike and so the LCD was cracked and even the battery cover was lost. I refuburbished it myself and at the end the phone was working perfectly ...except for the camera.
there is an error while trying to use Galley to take pictures. After the error the Gallery closes.
In fact the camera is damaged, because I have tried it in other working phone and it does the same.
Nevertheless, if a working camera is installed in my phone it doesn't produce the error immediately. It takes a little time to fail and the camera causes a FC in the Gallery when trying to take a picture.
I've tried:
1. Load stock firmware 4.1.2
2. Load stock firmware 4.1.1
3. Load my actual CM 10.1
4. Update camera firmware to all the available versions (ZDxxxx)
5. Use 2 different working cameras
Is there somthing more upgradable or any other adjust I can do?
I'm on CM11 nightly, which did at one point have problems with the camera. However it had been working fine for a while. I don't remember doing anything to my phone (no upgrades, drops, etc) but the camera just stopped focusing.
I've tried ALL the setting in the stock and several other camera apps.
I tried wiping.
I then installed jelly bomb which (I believe) is based on 4.1 stock.
Still won't focus.
It seems to be stuck in a macro focus, I.e. when the camera is 2 inches away from an object, the object appears in focus.
Anyone seen this or have an idea?

There is also more on this in the cm11 nightlies thread.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that zip didn't change anything
Also, like I mentioned, I had wiped and gone back to (4.1) JellyBomb just to try the camera and it didn't focus there (eliminating 4.3/4.4 AOSP camera issues).
It had been working fine with CM11 nightlies (after the initial issues you referred to were solved).
I'll keep trying stuff, but I'm starting to fear it's a hardware issue.
