Camera Error - Cannot connect to camera.

Anyone else getting this error? After reading the two main errors seem to be faulty camera hardware and bar code scanning apps. I uninstalled my bar code scanner and the problem persists. There is a small dent next to my flash under the camera but this came with the phone and my camera worked for a while. Taking the battery out and putting it back in fixes the problem about half of the time, but only is good for one to two uses. I'm thinking of sending this in, but I'm waiting until the SGSII HD is out in case they offer to replace it with any phone. Wishful thinking, I know.

And here's the error:

Are you on the stock rom? I got that yesterday but a reboot fixed it.

Stock ROM not rooted. No modifications what-so-ever.

Try doing a factory reset. Sometimes an app installed on the phone might screw up with a hardware's function. For example, I've always use Screebl Pro on my phone to let it control how my screen turns off. I decided to try their new Beta version. A few days later, I cannot seem to manually turn off my screen by pressing the power button. Every time I press the power button, the screen will come back on on its own. I can try up to 4-5 times before it eventually goes off. I though my phone finally broke as I tried uninstalling and reinstalling apps, changing settings here and there to no luck. I finally realized about the beta Screebl I had installed, and decided to disable it. The moment I did that, the phone was back to normal, no weird things happening to it.
So try doing a factory reset first before sending it back.

Strangely enough uninstalling Reconage has seemed to fix this. Can anyone else confirm it breaks your camera? The comments don't say it does so it must be something with the Nitro.

I get it too on cm7 all the damn time. I can record 1 video then after I stop, it messes up and I have to reboot to record again.

Any more definitive answer on this issue? My wife's Nitro HD has started giving this error in the last few days and no amount of rebooting seems to be fixing it. She is stock plus a few apps. I uninstalled nearly everything that uses the camera, reboot the phone, and still have the problem.
Alternatively, is there a way to see what apps were installed/updated by date? The last photo she took was on 6/13, so if we can figure out what apps have been updated since then that might help us get to the bottom of the issue.

Is it possible to get back to original, kernel and have root?
EDIT
Yeah, the camera is dead

Are you sure you haven't removed/frozen any system APK's or libraries pertaining to the camera? I've rooted using the same method and have no issues with camera, or anything for that matter.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) Home Button -> Google Now (while PIN Locked)

Ok, so here's one particular issue that I just haven't been able to solve. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 (for Sprint) and I hate S-Voice. I want to be able to use Google Now, and with the Home2 app I can do so with the double-tap on the home button. However, I also keep my phone PIN locked (this way if someone steals it, they can't get to my data and I have time to remotely wipe the phone or locate it), and apparently while S-Voice can work whent the phone is PIN locked, I'm not sure if there is any way to get Google Now to work while it's PIN locked by double-tapping the home button.
Basically, the reason I want this is that I just got a Honda CR-V and the bluetooth implementation in the car is absolutely awful. The only way to make calls while driving is 20 pre-programmed speed dials, or else I have to fumble with my phone which is completely unsafe. Shame on Honda for such an absurdly limiting Bluetooth system that basically makes it much more likely one will fumble with their phone while driving. Anyway, I'd love to be able to just double tap the home button on my phone and get Google Now going (while PIN locked) and then just tell it to call someone or do something else.
Anyone know how I can accomplish this?? By the way, my Galaxy S3 isn't rooted, and I'd prefer not to root it since that would mean I'd have to reinstall everything and re-configure everything.
Thanks!!

Rooting your phone doesn't wipe your data or cause you to have to re-install apps or reconfigure. Have you taken the 4.3 OTA?

My mistake - I think I must have been thinking about custom ROMs. And my phone hasn't been offered the 4.3 OTA yet - I keep reading that there were roll-out issues with it so the timeframe was pushed back, although the last thing I heard was that they started rolling it out again. Will the 4.3 OTA help me with this issue at all?

So I updated to 4.3 via Kies - haven't had a chance to see if I can "fix" my issue in 4.3 yet, but will hopefully get a chance to today or tomorrow and will post back here. Also, someone mentioned trying an app called widgetlocker to control the lock screen, and I'm wondering if I can use this to help get what I want accomplished...we shall see!

[Q] Sudden Lag. Jellykat v6.7.

Hi guys.
So I was on Jellykat ROM for few months and everything was working fine. Thanks to the developer for this awesome ROM.
Few weeks ago, my Note 2 got sudden lag after 7-8 hours of uptime.
1-When I'm on Whatsapp, I cant bring the keyboard up.
2-When I pressed the home key, its seem like the Touchwiz was reboot, take time to load the widget, shortcuts and folders. (2-3 seconds)
3-I cant go to dialer screen, when I pressed phone icon, its goes back to the home screen.
All of this problems can be solved by rebooting the phone but I want to know what causing them? Before this it was OK. Anything I need to clear/wipe?
Additional problem (non-lag issue)
1-When I'm on mobile data, the messsages I received from whatsapp are always delayed. Data roaming is enabled.
2-When apps asking for reboot and I pressed Yes, nothing happen, I need to reboot manually. (SuperSU update asking for reboot)
Thanks. Sorry for my English.

Bring up my post.
Still looking for solution.
Also I cant get my Walkman apps work anymore..

BUMP.

Z1 Compact hangs in random moments

Hi
My Z1 Compact started to hang while opening apps or while using them. Sometimes it doesn't reset and then some things are not responding and whole interface disappear and comes up again.
I tried to record it with the screen recorder and the "show touches" option but the record wasn't saved. The "show touches" option worked during the hang.
Sometimes I can turn it off by clicking power button and power off but it takes some time to "read" my touch. There are no problems with the battery.
Is it a RAM problem? How can I find out what happens before and during the hang? Is there something like Windows event viewer for Android? My ROM was DstrikerZ1 Kai SP007, after the problems started I updated it to SP008, now it is on stock ROM with no root. The bootloader is locked and it was never unlocked.
I thought it would work for another 2 years

Are you saying that the problem was the same through both Dstriker versions, and straight stock? Was there full wipes in between? If so, I would think it's a hw issue, maybe digitizer... If not, best thing to test is a totally different rom with full wipe.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think digitizer can cause software freezes... If it was faulty I couldn't control the phone but it would respond anyway.
I flashed SP008 with data+system+cache+art cache wipe, then I flashed stock ROM via software repair in PC Companion.

I don't know what hw it would be, but seems like hw to me.
A good app for what you're looking for might be OSMonitor from f-droid - https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=git&fdid=com.eolwral.osmonitor&fdpage=3 There's a 'message' tab, and a drop-down menu you can choose which type of log you want to read.

I don't understand this log ;/ There is a lot of messages.
I consider buying a Z1C with cracked screen and swapping the mobo, but first, I will call a technician.

Hello I have the same issues from today. It looks like a SW issue. I never do updates, except yesterday I did,...
I also saw that lots of people have issues with the latest update of Facebook.

Yes, it was all because of Facebook. I restored custom rom and all mods yesterday and it works fine so far.
Somebody wants us to throw old Z1Cs, but we throw FB app instead. Nice try mr. Zuckerberg.

I don't know why, but i have this problem, i don't think it's hw fault, i have the same issue in all my 3 z1, it's kinda funny, deleting Facebook App 'fixed' my problem

Had same freeze on SP007, so I downgraded to SP005, instead of upgrade to SP008.
SP005 runs much better and doesn't look like Pixel but has the XZ look :angel:

Had this issue all week and now I know it's Facebook! Was having hard / soft reset issues for like a week after this stupid Facebook update... thank god I checked here.
