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.

For some reason Media server won't let my phone go to sleep. I tried clearing the cache sand Dalvik but that isn't helping. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue. I'm using 1.5 clean ROM based on the stock att code.

I have had this problem before. It was my sd card that was causing it. You can know for sure by removing it for a battery cycle and then see if you still have a large drain from it. I had to buy a new sd card because phone kept on saying card failed or unexpectedly removed, even formatting didn't help.

I had this happen one time after a rom flash. Media scanner would run for 20-30 minutes randomly. Here's what worked for me. .. $0 cost and will only take a few seconds, so worth a shot. Download "Rescan SD Card!" from Market. Run it...basically it is asking phone to reload the SD file-system. Don't know if this will fix your issue but again worth a try.
im getting invalid package file errors when trying to download Instagram from the market. ive researched and done all the suggested fixes i.e. clearing play store data google services framework data, cleared bothe the cache and the dalvik cache and im still getting these errors. my wife and i are both having this problem right now, she is running rooted stock and so am i. does anyone have any ideas? ive even don a full wipe and re flashed my rom and nothing has worked.i really dont care that I cant have it but my wife is getting irritated wich means im getting really annoyed. any help would be greatly appreciated.
if there are no more techniques i can use would someone be kind enough to send me the apk? thanks again.
EDIT: all is well found an apk file.
Mods you can delete this post if you need or want to PROBLEM SOLVED.
I'd like to add a little to this. I have experienced this more recently while trying to update my apps. The more commonly known techniques did not work for me as well. Everything from clearing cache in the app and through recovery, to a lesser known trick using the browser and the play store website.
I did find that when all else failed, I toggled my wifi off and used my data to download/update my apps and did not have the invalid package issue. A technique so simple, I had to chuckle because I flashed and re-flashed multiple roms and restores. I was getting so annoyed at the failure of my app download/upgrades. So this makes me think it might have something to do with google servers and my wifi connection, which is strange since it recently randomly started to happen.
Just a little of my thoughts with this ever annoying issue.
For future reference, if u can't find the apk, there's an app called hideman. Its a VPN app. Just install that, connect to the server thats displaying, go to the market and install the app giving u the error. All those other solutions didn't work for me either but with the hideman app it worked beautifully.

I tried that briefly. I personally don't trust it. Switching on my T-Mobile data worked best for me. Thanks for adding another option though.
I have tried all suggestions except using 3g or 4g. My tablet is wifi only, it does not have cell service. I also tried hideman vpn and still get error. I am trying to get lotus map app. Contacted them they only knew to clear catch and data. Any help would be appreciated.
This started happening on all three phones in my house. So im inclined to believe its a problem with the play store itself

For the third time yesterday since getting my phone (D855 32GB, from Amazon.de and on Three in the UK), I went to use Dual Window and instead of it opening got a toast message saying "number of apps is not enough to start dual window". My /system/etc/com.lge.spltwindow.xml file is modified to add Tomtom Europe and Music (Tomtom wont work on QHD and can't see to get it working by adjusting res/DPI settings for the app), though that has been working fine.
Restart fails to fix it. Clearing cache or data for "Dual Window" app fails to fix it.
Restoring the original XML file and reboot does not fix it; still get the error message.
First two times I did a factory data reset, which although it did restore the app to a working state, is not ideal as I needed to go through restoring my apps/data/config.
Happened again last night. This time I tried a restore of "Dual Window" data using Titanium Backup then rebooted and that did not fix it.
I then did an app+data restore with Titanium Backup and that did fix it... which is strange as I would not expect the app to be corrupt!
Has anyone else come across this problem?
I have the same problem. Seems to stop working a lot. I am running CloudyG3 1.2 on LG G2 (802). Did you manage to solve or fix this problem? as I have had no luck.
just happened again.
this time went into /system/private-app and ran SplitWindowService.apk
seemed to work OK straight after that went through installing.
not sure what it is updating when running the apk to identify what file/setting is broken.
me too...

Had the same issue, but a restart seems to fix it.. any one figured why this even occurs / permanent fix?
a restart does not fix it for me. next time I notice it's in a broken state I will make a Tibu and compare to a working backup.

Going into system>private apps finding the app and just re-installing it worked for me.

So I found the splitwindowservice.apk copied it to internal storage. Deleted the apk from priv-apps. Reboot, move the apk back to priv-app, fix permissions and restart.
Still not working :/

I didn't do all of that. All I did was click on the app and chose install. That's it. It worked fine afterwards.

So I clicked on the app I had copied over to internal storage as clicking on the app in priv-app foler only offered uninstall.
I installed from local storage and it worked...
Thanks!

Toggle Dual Window of/on quickly fixed the issue (till next time)
Still getting this issue periodically with 10n. Found a quicker way of fixing the issue than reinstalling the splitwindow APK.
Go in to settings > General > Dual Window, and toggle off/on.
Worked for me just now, when I have been getting the issue since rebooting my phone yesterday (to swap a nearly flat battery for a spare).
Till next time...
I had the same problem with my Lg g3 D855b 16GB
But leaving the phone for a while and try to open the dual window again did fix it
working for me
I had the same error after installing Flex MultiWindows Mod on original 4.4.2 firmware on D855
and after toggling with the Dual Windows, all my newer appz are there too now
Cheers
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?
I recently performed a factory data reset on my Rooted Samsung Galaxy S 4 running android v 4.4.2 after doing this i noticed a pretty big issue with two apps. (1) Instagram: Every time i try to upload a video it either says "there was an issue importing your video" or the app itself will force close. (2) Snapchat: Snapchat will not load video snaps that are sent to me, it also will not load stories for some reason and says "there was an issue connecting to the server." This issue is on both 4g LTE and WiFi. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps?
