I always go the "camera error - can't connect to the camera" when taking photo with rear camera.
HOWEVER, the strange thing is I can record video with the rear camera and the front camera works as well.
I've tried to factory reset, still unsolvable. I have this problem when using CM9 by ipromeh.
One thing I notice is I tried to upgrade to KK 4.4 but failed somehow, is that a conflict or a problem and related to my camera problem ?
PLS help me out !!! =<
ps : i tried using camera360, the error poped out is due to security problem o.o?:crying:
For update to android 4.4 you must have the last cwm
The camera still doesn't work =(

Camera not working is a known issue on AOSP ROMs. Many fixes have been put in place but apparently the camera ignores them. It works if you're lucky (apparently u aren't) but doesn't if have bad luck. Try reflashing another ROM. Might work. Worked for me.
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!

I tried flashing diff roms with full wipe. No luck
Is this hardware fault u think? Where is the sendor located?
Download this app, called Sensor View:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytemystery.sensorview&hl=ro
and switch to accelerometer, orientation, and gyro, and see if it shows anything when you move the device. If it doesn't, it probably is a hardware problem.
Had this once
Hi,
I also had this once with Android Revolution HD (4 or earlier..) Programs like the suggested showed absolutely no reaction from the gyroscope so I really thought I ruined something.
Wiped everything and flashed a stock rom, that helped at last.
It might however actually be the gyroscop defect...

I tried the app. The values didnt change.
My gyroscope isnt working either btw tried few games and can steer to left and right.
Im gonna do a stock flash and if it still dont work, deliver it in for warranty fix.
I'll let u know if its a software issue.
I am running stock rom and I don't know if the Note 2 is supposed to work upside down (I use it like that all the time when I am charging it in portrait mode) but it doesn't so I installed Ultimate Rotation Control (a hold over from the stock nexus 7 rom days when it wouldn't autorotate). It should work in your situation, try it and let us know.
Same thing happened to me but i found out it was kernel related, im on omega rom and im now using neak, all ok now.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
I flashed omega 7 and it worked. but then i flashed redpill kernel and it didnt work again
good thing it aint the hardware fault!

that's good
Ok here's the dilema..
perseus and redpill give the autorotation/gyroscope problem. while Neak, Notecore and other kernels that dont have fatex support dont give that issue!
The sad part is that I MUST have fatex support so i can swap my ext sd with int sd.
any other kernels besid eredpil & persues that lets me do that??
also .. the main q is... why did this suddenly start happening? I used those kernels before without any gryo/rotation issues.
ok... flashed a few times and now its working as it did before.
running wanam rom + perseus and ext/int sd swap!

Had the same issue...i was swapping between cm 10.1 and jb leak and suddenly autorotation was all over the place(not coming back to portrait) even after reflashing clean instal(cm10.1 or jb leak)...for me the fix was kind off lucky...disabled(unselect) calibration in cm10.1 under system settings/system/calibration and it all came back to normal...
may come handy for others too

Camera and video sometimes takes a couple of reboots before it is working. Not sure why this is the case but it does solve the issue for me.
Thanks for the great work on XS, deedwar, could you elaborate more on the GPS issue? Have you experienced it?
Today I installed BETA4, and I am very satisfied with battery life and smoothness.
Hello
My problem is for the rear camera of SGG I9082 which makes blurry picture
I check into the forum and found that have similar threat for SGS3 where it is proposed to be updates the CAM FW
When I dail *#34971539# and check the Phone to CAM FW Write (rear), it is displaying me:
Invalid Version
Cam FW Ver: A08B0S1GC01
Phone FW Ver: O08B0SAGD01
For the front camera it is make better picture (at lease for 2Mpx camera) and when I check the Phone to CAM FW Write (front), it is displaying me:
This is is the latest version
.... and the Cam FW Ver and the Phone FW Ver are matching
Please advice me what might be the problem that the rear camera is making blurry pictures and if the problem is the above, then please give me the proper FW for my rear camera and advice me how to install it
PS: All other activities like cleaning the camera or set-up it are done and nothing solve the problem
Thank you

Did you flashed a custom firmware?
I flashed CosmicCM (the latest) and had the impression that the pictures were kind of blurred or foggy. I reversed back to original 4.2.2 and the pictures got normal.

No, I didn't do any flashing, I use the original (4.2.2) FW. it seem that for me only the driver for the camera is not installed (or it is installed the wrong one), All the other have no issue
U tried anything
Did u try to do anything via root like deleting some files or modifying something, u can try factory reset or problem may be on hardware base too that some dust may have entered glass of camera and causing dificulty in focus(ur problem was not focusing or not opening rear camera???) u could try using google camera too sometimes some file of camera get missing and u may try third party softwares...Hope it helps

Hello loveymangal
I didn't do anything like deleteing any sys files. About the reset I already try it several times - it didn't help. About the other topic yes they might create the problem, but at the moment I see that the FW of the rear camera is incorrect. If I have the possibility to to fix this issue and see if the problem reamin then I can go to the other possible problems (like the ones you are proposing). If someone can send me the install FW file for the rear camera to try if this is the issue will be great. About 3-rd party SW if you have the possibility to propose me some good will be great
Thank you

well i don't know much about installing of firmware of camera so i recommend u to try a custom rom so to check if installing a new ROM updates or installs the correct version of Firmware. IF that doesn't work try reinstalling your mobile with official 4.2 upgrade so it can go back to factory settings unroot it and give service centre to reinstall the Firmware... Without device in hand actually I can't help much.....Hope somehow your problem gets solved...
Try a Camera app from the Play Store like CameraMX, did you try turning "anti-shake on in camera settings?
Hi there
Looks like i am not the only one, that having issues with the camera focus or autofocus on a newer G4 (H815) with custom roms.
It is definitely not a hardware issue, comes with ALL custom roms so far. it does not relates to stock roms (works fine there - tested many times)
marshell has written down a few posts to this issue. check his profile.
Any dev here, who can help?
Or is there any solution on its way?
Cheers, samukinson
My h815's autofocus is running perfectly with Imperium rom

Yeah, i know., but Imperium rom is based on stock. Genisys too.
This bug only applies aosp, cm13, ..., and apparently on newer G4's (2016)

Hello Guys, I had serious problems to get the back camera to focus when used on landscape mode. I moved back to stock ROM and didn't fix it, this was bad since day one I get the phone. How did I solve the problem? Replace camera module, now works great...!

Hello! Actually I did fit it in my local eBay (I live in South America) there are tons of LG G4 who have failed because of the motherboard so finding a replace should be easy but....This phone will continue to give you trouble, try to change it. I was able to receive a refund from Amazon for the whole phone. Good luck!

But when i install a custom rom (Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher version) camera stops and other problems like can't video call in whatsapp etc. Can someone knows why and solution?

I tried another app and the front camera works, but not the back one. Though with the default app I couldn't even test the front one, it closed immediately.
I know for a fact the camera worked fine before flashing the custom ROM, so it's not a hw failure.
When as the last time you checked the camera with a stock ROM? I searched around and there don't seem to be many people with this issue on the note 2. Your phone's model # is gt-n7100?

Yup, GT-N7100.
Last time I checked the camera was just a few days ago. And yeah I've searched for the issue a bit as well, didn't have an luck unfortunately...
Have you tried this ROM? --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-aicp-12-1-official-nightlies-t3569395/page85
I being using it as a daily driver for months, and it's the best one I ever had for this phone.
Few times I've had camera problems, but automagically resolved just after restarting the phone.
Give it a try, and let us know it this was an acceptable solution.
Best of luck.
