Camera messed up, its happened before on the PACman rom, i took a picture that had a kit if green in it. the camera locked up momentarily and then started working again. Now when i take new pictures the screen gets a green overlay, and then the pictures contrast are all screwed up. Any idea on a fix besides reflashing or restoring?

Something went wrong with my camera all of a sudden. When I was traveling I was taking a number of pictures, and a few times the camera app I was using (it was the out-of-the-box app with the Cyanogen ROM) froze the phone and I had to pull the battery. I left the phone with a friend and the first pictures they took had artifacts like the attached image does (read: see attached!).
For some reason, when the camera app is open, the real-time preview has these artifacts across the whole image. When it focuses and captures the image, only half of the image has a problem. When the problem first occurred, the whole image was affected.
Has anyone seen this before? I could try re-flashing my phone, but if it's a hardware defect it would be for nothing. Any ideas?
I did a factory reset and re-flashed CM6. The camera is still messed up.
Am I totally out of luck?
The only thing left I can think of is to reformat the SD card, not that I can see how it would help...
Reformatted, reflashed, the whole 9 yards. No fix. It must be a hardware defect. Blast.
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?
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'm not sure if anyone has experienced this problem, but ever since going from 4.1.2 rom to what was the 4.3 beanstalk rom at the time my camera is always extremely dark. The weird thing about it is, after playing around with settings and what not(I didnt have to do this before) if you put the camera in "action mode" it brightens right up(for a short period of time before going back) without changing any other setting. If you change back to "auto" it goes right back to being overly dark. Don't get me wrong, the camera works, but with the pictures being so dark they are hardly good quality.
Troubleshooting wise, I wiped the whole phone, sd card and everything, flashed back to stock through odin. The original 4.1.1 camera seemed to look much better. Went back to flashing 4.3 and 4.4 roms with the new camera and bam, same problem. Has anyone ever experienced this issue or have a fix for it? I have looked all over the internet and can't find someone with a fix. I don't want to stay on 4.1.1 stock, but is there a way to use that camera? Cameras on the play store have the same dark effect.
After more than 1.5 yrs of using my Note 2, recently I noticed that sometimes the camera focus gets stuck. It seems to be at macro focus distance. So everything close to the lens will be clear, and things beyond that blurred. There is no way to refocus. No matter what I do (using manual touch focus, setting to autofocus, setting to macro focus, setting to video mode, killing the camera app or restarting the phone) it is stuck for some time. And then it just starts to work again by itself after few minutes. Completely randomly it seems. I'd say it gets stuck approx every 5th time when I turn the camera on.
If I look at the lens, while the focus is stuck, the lens, naturally, also don't move as they move when the focus is not stuck.
What could this be? My bet would be an issue with camera, but I'd like to exclude any possible known issue, before I RMA it. I still have few months of warranty. Normally I would be doing the factory reset, but I was kinda waiting for the 4.3 or 4.4.2 update, and fresh flash.
I'm running stock 4.1.2 (still the latest official for me), and it is rooted, and triangled away. Everything else is stock. I use stock camera app. Also I don't seem to have any other problems. When it does focus, the camera produces sharp photos. SO no problems there either.
PS The lens are clean and undamaged, as is the whole phone.
