Hi,
last week i updated my cyanogenmmod to 20140526 and had some bigger Problems with the Dialer. I was not able to call someone. Every time the idcallerui crashed.
Because of this i tried some different roms like Paranodid or older cm roms. Now i dont have this Problem with the dialer but now my camera doesnt work any more. If i try to open the camera it stopps. Before i installed a new rom i always did a full wipe in the recovery mode.
I tried different gapps from paranoid, cm, mini or stock but nothng fixes my camera.
I dont want to send it back to samsung to get this fixed because i have to wait to long for my phone.
What did i do wrong? False Gapps for galaxy nexus?
What combination of rom and gapps can u recommend?
i now have flashed my device back to complete stock rom. But the problem still exists. when i try to open the camera app it stoppes.
i tried a app called facecam and there i get the error :"Failed to connect to camera service"
Should i send it to Samsung? I still have 3 Weeks Waranty
how can i see if it is definitly stock and samsung cant see that i had root and a diferent rom?

2 things!
1* You front facing camera needs to be replaced
2* Send it to Samsung like it is they do not care if the phone is locked, rooted, or a custom rom.
Trust me I've done it myself!

I am currently running CyanogenMod 11 (M3) for t-mobile. I really need help fixing my camera. I was having problems with my camera earlier but now it is constantly force closing. Just recently the camera updated to Google camera and I was hoping the force would not occur anymore, but now it's even worse. If any ideas how to fix PLEASE tell me because I have many needs for the camera. This how the problem occurs: I try to take a picture and it will take it then it will freeze and I have to kill the app. Then I try to restart the app but I get an "Camera error: cannot connect to the camera." The problem was really bad after I flashed the ROM so I deleted that camera and flashed a "better" one. I try to use the other features of this updated Google camera but none of them work such as: lens blur, panorama or photo sphere . I would really love having these features working or even taking regular pictures without any force closes. I have to use the camera everyday so please help as soon as possible. Please anyone help me solve this problem!!!! (Current Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999)
Thanks for the help in advance!!

First thing I'd do is make a nandroid backup, then factory reset. If it fixes it then some data you had was causing the issue.
Next thing to try is copy the cameradata folder from a stock rom to yours. Reboot and test.
If that doesnt help i would then Odin flash stock/root66 firmware and factory reset. Then test the camera. If its still not working it may be hardware. If it works, you can be certain its software/firmware related. No sense in more troubleshooting if you determine its hardware related.
If it works on stock but not after a clean rom flash, the rom is likely the problem. Search its thread for similar issues.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for the reply I will try this! If the factory reset does not work do you where I would able to find the camera data folder for Stock S3 Rom?
Unzip any stock based rom such as StockMod and its in the system folder.
Help?!

The reset didn't work...I', trying to fix this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
This camera keeps freezing and then I have to end the task. After I end the task and try to go back to camera I get an "Camera error: Can't connect to camera." The lens blur and photo sphere and panorama are not working. Also, the camera is not taking the full screen when in rear facing camera but when I change to front facing the size becomes even smaller. Any idea how I can fix these problems? I am getting frustrated
me too!!

I figured it out...it was a ROM problem. I flashed liquid smooth 4.4.2 and it worked perfectly.

Ok, then, that issue would be fixed if I flash the latest nightly CM 11 Rom??

It is a possibility, you can try and see. I flashed a completely different ROM.
Hey All,
I have the ATT S3 variant, and for the longest time I was running a TW based rom that was made from a galaxy note rom and supported multiview.I decided to flash my phone back to LK3 stock and now my camera won't work. Ive tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset. I've tried the reinstall a couple of times. Out of curiosity, I flashed CM10.2 and the camera worked fine. I Once again tried flashing the stock rom, but the issue still persists. Whenever I open up the camera app I get the error "Camera Failed". I tried typing in the code to get the camera firmware version, but it just shows a black screen. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

I flashed a different stock rom that I acquired from another source and it worked. Thanks guys!
Hello,
I have updated my GT-i9192 to various KK roms (Russia, Brazil...) and I still get hard camera crashes when I try to use the camera.
I have also try using Google's own Camera app, but this is still a problem.
I have also wiped the cache and reset to factory, still no go. I sometime get a 'Camera Fail' window, or the phone reboots directly. I am trying to avoid tripping Knox, so CM and others are out of the question (especially if it does end up being a hardware issue...!) even though I have no reason to think that the camera stopped working in-between updates - nor do I want to revert to 4.2.2.
Any hints welcome, this is annoying as hell.
TIA

try to clear the camera cache and data, but first force close it. after you do this, reboot.
also delete everything from \Phone\Android\data\com.sec.android.gallery3d\cache
Nope
Unfortunately, that did not work...
I am going to try to upgrade to CM 11 and hope that it will resolve my problems.

Upgraded to CM 11 did not fix my problem, I ordered replacement cameras (both) from ebay and the problem is still there.
Seems like a motherboard issue.
I got this phone a few days ago and it would be good if it didn’t have 3 annoying problems which are disconnects from wifi (plus it won't reconnect), camera won't open (it says the gallery has stopped working) and google now searches come up blank, the only way to fix these is to reboot the phone and I have to do this 3 times a day, is this a rom problem or a problem with the phone itself? I have the default rom which came rooted

Hi, you should try to flash a new rom (stock rom, or custom rom like eragon). Serveral users have reported similar problems and have solved with a new rom.
If you don't want to install a new rom, you could try first to wipe data (Factory reset)
Regarding to these problems i think you are using the original Stock ROM first version from the 25072015.
This version had a lot of bugs, like the camera problem,... I think you must update the ROM before you can be happy with the P8000.
There is a new Stock ROM published on the 09.09.21015 or some custom ROMs to update your Phone.
