Camera App Error - Won't Open

Hello all, my Nexus is rooted, and I flashed an OC/UV Kernel to it recently, but as of late my camera app (native) won't open. Whenever I attempt to open it, it force closes and the "Unfortunately, camera has stopped" message comes message comes up.
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Has anyone dealt with it?
Thank you.

Shameless bump. Uninstalled most apps to see if that was the issue - so far no good.

I had this happen after I installed Skype on my Galaxy Note - NOT the Nexus. May not be a fair comparison, but after an uninstall of Skype and reboot the issue was resolved.

My phone and my wife's phone both had camera app crash and neither of us is running anything custom other than stock.

Yeah
This has also happend to me. Was taking panorama shot when the phone died. Also was toggling between front and rear camera. It seems as though it has locked up the camera hardware, as Tesla Led wont work anymore.... nothing has fixed it. About to restore to factory..

This happened to me when I was using paper camera. After a few reboots and no result..I turned off the phone and took out the battery and let it sit for a few and then after I turned it back on it started working....hope this works for y'all.

Mine is broken in the same way, but I'm unable to clear anything to make it work. Already have factory wiped, and flashed new roms... ARGH!

Battery pulls will usually fix the camera when nothing else does.

http://pastebin.com/c8CtgYJe
Logcat
I've pulled the battery many times. still nothin.
ah well.. I'll pull it for a few hours tonight... see what happens.
I DID flash the new UGLA4 radio this morning... thinking back I'm pretty sure I was on google talk after that flash... but POSSIBLY not.
Can a radio mess with the camera?

Odd. My logcat showed the same and a battery pull fixed it.

the battery is sitting 3' away from the phone right now. I'll give it another hour or two to fully bleed down....

Still fail.
Not good.

I don't use the camera that much, but I use google talk *all the time*....

I've been building AOSP from source. I have the exact same problem in my 4.0.3 ROM, but I can build a 4.0.1 ROM that works. People that are getting the Camera to work in 4.0.3 should share their secret sauce.
When I try to launch Camera in 4.0.3 it crashes and briefly displays "Unfortunately Camera has stopped." I've tried everything mentioned previously in this thread, and I have reported the problem in another thread (before I found this one):

This is definitely an unresolved issue that only some people are experiencing. I just got my Galaxy Nexus i9250 . I might return it defective if I can't find a solution ASAP.

Already sent the phone in. There was no camera function on the stock fresh google image, or on Odin restores from Samsung. Mine was truly dead.

Make sure there are no other apps running that use the camera or flash. This happened to me and killing my flashlight app got the camera working again.

[Q] HOX Camera not working

Been loving my hox for a while but all of a sudden if I open the camera to take a picture it closes straight away? Is this a BUG the only way to get the camera to work is if I restart the phone then it works for a while then it does it all over again.

I had this once after installing another third party camera app. Have you recently put another one on? Try uninstalling it, then clearing data from the stock camera app.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I was also going to say to run the diagnostic test to see if the camera is actually working still but it sounds more software than hardware related.
If you did want to check...just punch in *#*#3424#*#* to get to the HTC Function Test Program and run the camera test

cheers for the reply wnp_79 i haven't installed any 3rd party apps for the camera i just cleared the data from the stock camera app and its still the same i have reset the hox once dont want to be doing it again lol

just run the HTC Function Test Program and it closes the test straight away :-(

are u on a rom？ if so, reflash. if not, then factory reset, or clear the camera cache first and see what happes

cheers for the info am stock rom ive cleared the camera cache still the same will i will try a soft reset as i did a factory reset and all my apps did not re install from google play which i thought was odd

Same Problem wth AT&T HTC One X
I have the same problem with AT&T One X. It was working perfectly when I just got it. Now it's doing the same thing where if I take a picture, the phone exits out of the camera program and no picture is taken. The only thing on the software side that I can see that has changed is that I installed a bunch of updates for my apps. This also includes the AT&T apps since I don't like to see software not updated. I don't think I've installed any new apps that uses the camera except for LevelUp and AT&T Barcode Scanner.

I've found that using the camera from the lock screen or the dock seems to reproduce this problem more often. If I pull out the camera into a regular icon and don't open it from the lock screen, it seems to function normally. Have you tried that already>

I never tried that but thanks for the tip. I sent it back to O2 under warrnty and they fixed it they never explained what the problem was as in the letter it only stated "Phone has been fixed" all i can think of is that they re flashed 1.29 software

[Q] "Cannot connect to Camera" on Stock/Stock based ROM after Play Services 09/19

[Q] "Cannot connect to Camera" on Stock/Stock based ROM after Play Services 09/19
Hey guys,
So recently Google Play Services updated itself and my camera suddenly stopped working. Yesterday when this happened, I got the "Cannot connect to Camera" error running Task650's initial 4.3 release. I decided maybe it was time for a clean odin and decided to update through Samsung Kies to initialize the firmware to stock. This wiped everything including internal SD so it was a completely fresh start. I then tried using the camera, and it worked for about fifteen minutes until all the updates through Google Play came in. As soon as play services updated, the next time I tried running my camera I got the same Cannot connect to camera message, except this time on a completely stock, un-rooted ROM. I then decided that maybe I should flash again, so I did, making sure to wipe everything. It was working, but this time I kept auto updates off and didn't update any ROMs.
Next, I rooted and flashed Dandroid 4.7 and my camera was working flawlessly all day. Until I tried using snapchat and it required a google play services update. To verify my theory, I updated, and voila, my camera was no longer functional.
So my question is, is there any way around using Google Play Services, or is there a way to flash a version of the app thats not the oldest, but before the newest update? Cause currently I can only revert to factory settings which seems to upset a lot of apps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Additional info in case you need it: SGH-I747M from Fido. Stock Kernel. Currently running Dandroid 4.7 but this problem has appeared on un-bastardized TW as well as AOKP.
UPDATE: I now also get the Camera failed error instead of Cannot Connect to Camera
Now even if I uninstall Play Services updates my camera won't come back online. It's dead forever

Have you tried clearing data and cache for camera, followed by a reboot?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 2

I'm in the same boat as you. I originally had the problem using Hyperdrive and a phone without a camera is close to useless so I tried task650's rom again due to having such good experiences in the past with it. My camera worked for a day and I wasn't paying close enough attention to my phone to be able to make an accurate prediction as to why it stopped. I'm considering throwing my hands up in the air and blaming AT&T in hopes of getting a new phone because I've gone stock and back multiple times with the same problem. I can only speculate what the problem is though..would a logcat be beneficial in any way to help narrow this down?
Side note leading up to camera problems: For a while my phone's accelerometer was severely bugged and forced my screen into landscape. Even root apps claiming to force screen orientation modes failed to fix this problem. After this I went bone stock and then used Hyperdrive for a month. 3 weeks in and my camera started acting up; I couldn't take a normal picture, every one was corrupted and had colorful bars blocking over 50% of the image. This problem was fixed by taking about 4 very different pictures in terms of brightness and colors. Later though both the stock camera that comes with Hyperdrive and the AOSP camera would crash whenever I tried using my front facing camera. This eventually led me to where I am currently using task650's rom with no functioning camera. Please help D:
I'll help in every way possible to fix this problem.

Perhaps your camera hardware is faulty. I'm not really sure what in Google play services would make your camera not work.

It did not fix it permanently. I was going to edit my post but I'm a new user still and got distracted during the 5 min post limit. Switching to the front facing camera makes the problem come back. Tonight I'll be going bone stock and if the problem persists would that be proof of hardware failure?

I wouldn't assume its a hardware ASAP but it could be a bug caused by Google. Try going to stock by Odin to see if issue still occurs.

Already tried this multiple times, but thank you! Anyway I sent it back to Samsung to get everything dealt with. I thought might as well report all the other things wrong with it (over heating, slow charging, and now the camera). They said up to 21 days, and gave me the ****tiest Blackberry I have ever seen as a loaner phone. I hate Canadian cell phone carriers. I remember back in the states they'd replace it on the spot under manufacturer's warranty. Seriously **** Fido.
Anyway I'm done ranting and that was off topic so I guess I'll report back here when my phone is back and we'll see if it was hardware or not. Thanks everyone!

Okay after going back to stock my rear camera worked upon opening the application, but when I switched to the front facing camera I got the "can't connect to camera" error and the app force closed. And once you switch between either the rear or front camera, the selected one will become your default...regardless if I clear data/cache for the gallery application and reboot (this worked the first time I switched to the front camera though but not anymore). So now I have no functioning camera and I'm one month out of the 1 year Samsung warranty so I'm pretty frustrated with my situation because I take pictures daily with my phone. Tomorrow I will take the phone to a highly rated cell phone repair shop in my area since I found OEM parts on ebay including a front facing camera and I'm confident they'll be able to replace it.

Don't pay for them to replace the front facing camera for you. You can it yourself. Its an easy fix.. Just have the screw driver and patience to follow a YouTube video on opening the S3. I assure you that once you see how to do it (simple unplug from motherboard) you'll thank me for saving you repair and labor fees.

Thank you for giving me confidence to do this myself. Im pretty comfortable opening up phones to work on them, I just haven't had a reason to open my S3. All front camera replacements I found after five minutes of googling are for the i9300, will the same camera work for the AT&T model?

I found you two front facing cameras for the att galaxy s3. Price is really affording (below $10 total). The i9300 ones work too from what I read but I'd stick to i747 ones if I was you.

Okay so three weeks later I got my S3 back from service. They replaced the camera assembly, and the camera was working for the first day. Now its giving me the same error saying cannot connect to camera/camera failed regardless of whether its the front or rear camera or what app I'm using. I'm really fed up with this, anyone have any other ideas? I havent touched the stock rom since they gave it back to me so I have no idea.

Hey guys. I know this is an old thread, but I'm just posting since my problem is now resolved and if in the future anyone else has this problem they can learn from mine.
So the service center for Samsung here in Montreal is absolute crap, and it took them three tries, over three months, to fix my phone. The final repair code given was 072 and the keyword was Solder (Ressouder in French) which I'm guessing means they had to re-solder the connection to the camera back to the motherboard. Seems to be working fine now.

problem with keyboard htc one m8

after i update phone to 5.0.1 sometimes i have a problem with keyboard ,randomly they stopped work ,
when i tapping the place and keyboard should appear nothing happens.
after one or two minut going back :/
any experience with this,,
thank guys

i noticed the same thing...i had to reboot the phone few times...

Same issue here!
You can wait till christmas, but nothing works to get your keyboard back..except booting..

Yes same issue here. I've mentioned it not long after the Developer Edition received the OTA.
It's not even something that we can recreate, it's just completely random. It stays that way until a reboot and then it's fine again. Very irritating.

Hello, the same problem with the keyboard .On any firmware, I have 6 different firmware problem persists.
p . s . TEL Verizon

Still having this damn problem.. Anyone know if it's isolated to Verizon phones? I'm on Verizon 5.0.1 stock, both the HTC and Google keyboard do it. Completely random, about once every day to 2-3 days. So annoying.

I had a problem with the keyboard lagging which got worse after the lollipop update, I was considering a warranty claim or rooting the phone and then the microphone packed in and the decision was made, I called the network who advised me to send it to HTC for repair which I did, it also had a few sync problems too, I asked the technical support guy about this problem and he said it would have to be reflashed, I sent it to them and they did the work, replacement microphones, replacement receiver, replacement lower board, replacement rubber something or other which I was told is something under the screen, replacement camera and a few others and of course it was flashed, I got it back after 8 days expecting my otherwise brilliant phone to be as it should be as I have come to expect from HTC, I switched it on and did the initial stages of making it work, I let it restore the last backup I made (off the phone with faults) which reported had failed but it started to restore the backed up apps, settings and my contacts, everything restored to how I had it before minus a couple of apps and a few notification settings, I have been using it for 2 days now however the keyboard has not been fixed by flashing it, unless the errors could have been brought in by the restoration? I have experienced the screen freeze and start jumping, jumping to the all open apps page, keyboard lag, keyboard is inaccurate, I went into the EE shop and they said that it should go back to HTC again, I haven't tried to hard reset it and go back to the factory settings and not restore the backup image this time, I've never had any problems with the 3 HTC phones I've owned, it is a good phone otherwise

Damn, I just went back to Dev Edition and sure enough it happened to me. Has this ever been fixed? This is way too annoying for me.

Possible Fix
For what it's worth, I went into App Manager to clear the Sense Input data as suggested by a previous poster (thank you) but did not have a 'Clear Data' button. There was a 'Settings' button though where I was able to turn off HTC Sense Input, after which my Swype keyboard immediately started working again. First time I've been able to resolve this SUPER annoying issue without rebooting the phone. Time will tell if it's a real fix; I'll update this post if not.
Phone is a brand new M8, still on stock 5.0.1

i got the solution, this is crazy but works...
go to help app(the one htc pre-installed on ur phone)
then go to hardware misbehaving?
hardware diagnostics
G-sensor test.
test it once , or twice. let it say failed.
next from that screen tap on calibrate g sensors
do the calibration on a flat surface
go back and do the test. this time it will say it worked.
and acctually, it did work, my autorotate , riptide, dot-breaker, everything based on gyroscope sensor is now working fine !!
