Just a tip - If you suddenly start getting the Camera Failed message don't try factory resetting or running back to the store to exchange right away. It is most likely NOT a hardware issue like so many people immediately declare. I did some Googling and for S5 forums (same Kit Kat/Touchwiz/UI) suggested removing any flashlight or other camera apps recently installed. I had just installed Go Flashlight. Took it off and voila camera fully operational again. No wiping, reload, or exchange needed. Maybe there's some conflict with the latest UI? Who knows. Hope this info helps and saves you a bunch of time and aggrevation.

Hy, yesterday i bought the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and after the reinstallation of all the app that i have on Samsung Galaxy S5, when i open the camera i look this error "camera failed".
I have the same problem on my Samsung Galay S5, i think that is impossible that i have 2 broken smartphone.
In Any case i have deleted the Google Camera and FOR NOW i have no problem.
Is possible that the Google Camera or other applications create a problem with the camera?
Any other experience?
I had this issue (and one when whole phone goes dark after attempt to use camera) but in my case one single reboot fixed issue. I did use master reset after it because TouchWiz start cashing on start up, all good now.
a have camera problem to but its not fix cleared catch/factory rest/update to 6.0.1
what should i do? changing rom may help?

My wife installed the ota update from Rogers today.
Now, anytime she opens one of her folders the phone freezes and the error appears.
Any ideas?
I ultimately had to boot into recovery and cleared the cache, did a factory reset and rebooted. It worked fine after that. Got stuck on a call once after, but no more issues after that. Make sure to backup anything off your local storage before you do this, since these steps will wipe all your data.

Right after update the same thing happened to me, I factory reset the phone and recreated the folders and touchwiz worked ok for few days then at some point I ran the battery down to empty and the phone shutdown. Putting it back on the charger and turning it back and now touchwiz home crashes again when using folders.

This is crazy. Coming from a rom I would imagine this stuff to happen but an official update? I really don't want to have to listen to the complaining if I need to reset the phone.
Yeah i had various issues with the official Rogers Jelly Bean update too so I just flashed a custom rom. I never felt the need for it when I was on ics but one day after the update I flashed the Jedi Invasion custom rom. Rogers JB ws just pissin me off.
Same here. I noticed that the crash from one folder only. Then narrowed it down to the app that caused it - removed it from folder then re added it.
Works great now.

I get a crash in /system/app with ES File Explorer. How can I narrow it down to one file?
For me it crashes with any app in a folder.
Yup, same here. Started when creating a folder. After the reboot, folder is created.
But everytime I even 'grab' an icon on any homescreen (like to move it to the trash at the top), it freezes and Touchwiz closes.
Flashed the full, official ROM 3 times, downloaded 3 seperate times, on 3 different computers with 3 different cables.
A buddy that has an SGS3, never rooted or messed with, did the OTA and has the same issue. Another buddy did the same exact steps as me, same files, computer and cable, does not have the issue.
What the heck is going on here?!!?
I'm very disappointed with this update.

I spent ALL day trying to fix this and I think I finally did! I updated to jelly bean from Telus and all of my folders where crashing with the TouchWiz error whenever I tried to close out of them.
I found a post suggesting to go into application manager, find TW and clear all data (not just cache). When I did, all of my home screens lost my folder and app shortcuts BUT the crash was gone and has not returned even after recreating some folders!!
I guess it was the old folder shortcuts that weren't meshing with the update? Who knows I'm just glad it's fixed. I hope it works for you too.

I've done this several times as well. After I set up my home screens as I like them, after a few hours the issue always comes back.
Just letting you know, I'm willing to bet that it'll be back...
So after plenty of testing, at least for myself, I found that the cause of this error was that I had my app menu in 'list' view as opposed to a 'grid' view.
So anyone coming across this thread with the same issue, that might be the problem (that is, if you use list view. If not, I'm stumped...)
I have the same issue when opening any folder, I am also using the list view for apps.My friend also has the same issue and he too uses the list view.After clearing data in TouchWiz Home the problem goes away but eventually returns and always returns immediately after a battery drain.I will try again but this time I will NOT use the the List View and report back.Hopefully we can find the
cause of this, as the carriers dont seem concerned about it.

I came across this forum while searching for this exact problem. I had tried clearing the touchwiz data, but that turned out to be a temporary bandaid as it came back.
The touchwiz crashing just started happening to me again tonight, , but after seeing this I switched my app view to grid mode and I could immediately use my folders again without any issues. I'll report back after some time to see if it stays away.
And I too am with Rogers.
Folder Bug - List view, grid view
I also can confirm a folder crash freeze with list view on a Telus I747m Jellybean 4.1.1 I747MVLDLK4 .
I noticed it happens after a reboot with list view enabled. Switching back to grid view and folders work again.
Thank you for your help guitarguy :good:
Rogers ota update touchwiz trouble
I received the rogers ota update and had trouble with touch wiz and getting the same error message everyone else has been getting, and simply thought if I call "rogers" for assistance or search the net it may be time wasted so simply did a factory reset after backing up all my apps and data which google has done a good job of backing up I also have a 32 gb memory card with all my data installed on, so it wasn't much trouble at all.So what you can do is slowly uninstall all your apps if you have few or just do the factory reset.But as I recall my phone was considerably hindered by this problem with touchwiz.I reinstalled all my apps with wifi.
I just discovered the new photosphere and other google apps that have been released and wonder if these will also soon be released in a future over the air update and wonder if I should just bite the bullet and install the roms now. Does anyone have any idea what the intentions are? Can we expect these within six months in another update or sooner?
best
Fixed by disabling list view. Thanks.
My m919 is currently on a custom rom. For about a month or two the front camera has not worked. I originally had it on cm11 and thats when it messed up. I then did a clean install of the stock rom via ODIN. The same issue would happen, I would open the camera and it would say, "warning, camera has stopped working." The back camera works fine but if I try to switch it gives me the same error. Then I have to go into app preferences and clear the app data to get it working again. Since then I have tried 3 more roms and the same issue persists. Everytime I install a new rom I do a clean install. Any ideas?
My rear camera did the same thing under similar circumstances (happened running the nightlies when cm was having trouble with camera stuff).
I bought a new rear camera (oem part off another m919). Had the nearest cell phone repair store install it. Still nothing.
Ended up calling T-Mobile. They sent me another S4 for free after having me do a factory reset.

This not related to ROM but hardware issue I had same issue with my first S4 the front cam stopped working after couple of weeks. If you are still under warranty you should contact them for repair or replacement. No ROM will fix this.

Yes I thought that might be the issue, and it's still under warranty. It takes 1-2 weeks though , plus my phones rooted and don't want to flash it to stock haha So I just went ahead and bought a replacement camera for 10$ off ebay and it came in 2 days. Got it today and only took 10 minutes to replace it. Works fine and I didn't have to send it in Thank you for responding!
I got pissed off fixing the front face camera issue on my Nexus 7 and gave Google a call. Basically, its says "cannot connect to a camera" and crashes on stock camera app. Skype crashes as well.
I've did all the resets and a hard reset as well, and none of the methods seem to help, and I believe the rocket science is not needed to get the front face camera working. The device runs stock android.
I've called Google twice and described the issue, and they always say its a known software issue and I should wait for a fix. I tried to google it, but haven't found anything on this particular issue, so I think the device is defective and my update will never come.
Is this really a software issue?

Front camera is a know issue on Nexus 5 I know. Still a camera fix and battery drain fix should be rolling out in the near future via 4.4.3.

I remember other devices (old evo3d) and would get that error if I changed ROMs and or kernals to ones that didn't work fully.

Its not an issue on all hardware, only a select number of Nexus devices. But, they are stating that 4.4.3 will correct this issue, among other fixes including the camera focus. Basically 4.4.3 is for fixing the bugs, not really for updating features.
Both cameras work here.

Mine is working fine.
Got it replaced. I knew it was a defective, but the Google rep kept insisting me to wait for an update. Just had to call again and basically REQUESTED a replacement.
I've received a Camera Failed message when opening the camera default camera app. I am asking because I am not sure if its an issue with the camera, a conflict, or an issue with my SD card.
I've tried un-mounting the SD card and opening the camera again, same error.
I've reset app data on the camera app, same error.
A reboot fixes the issue...until it happens again.
This has happened twice and days in between.
Any one else have this issue?
Yes. Daily. It sucks. I even cleared the cache and switched phones. It still happens.

Hello,
since the update smart doctor kind of crashes everytime when i unlock the screen or start other apps on my LG G7 european version.
Deleting the App cash didnt solve the problem for me. Does anybody else have this problem and maybe knows a solution?
I had some weird issues after the update to Android 10, some settings were not saved.
I've decided to do a clean factory reset and things got fixed after.
And I think a proper factory reset is useful since most probably is the last OS update that we have received.

Hi, after reset my phone smart doctor still crashing several times. Do not disturb mode don't work at all when time is set. A fix won't come or will take manny months again. After 2 years I maybe buy the pixel 4a when it comes out.

Same problem here. Smart Doctor crashes after the update to android 10. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. And don't want to do a factory reset.
Just installed new update. It could be a fix since It's the first time smart doctor get updated.

After some more oberservation it looks like that the error disappears after some time, but after every restart of the phone it comes back. I also updated the app but it didn't make a difference for me.
i also had error, simply open smart doctor, settings - extensions - smart doctor, i was confident that app needs permission of some kind and that i was asked to grant one, but now i see no permissions requested in app info, so open app and grant permission if asked, error will not reappear...
sorry for bad english
Still today have no issues with smart doctor anymore after the update. I did nothing special

its **** anyway, uses your ram and does worse than better, any app similar to those are **** and they slow down your phone because they run in the backround and waste resources while doing nothing.
