Only blackscreen with ui when I open any camera app - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, my problem is: when I open any camera app, I can see only the camera app's user interface, nothing else. Both of the cameras are not working.
What I've tried: downgrade to 4.3 4.4.4 5.0.2, factory reset, full internal storage format, clear camera app data. I am on locked bootloader.
Any ideas my friends? I used my camera more than a half an hour in a day :crying:
Here are some screenshots:
I will try to post them, I can't do it right now.

First obvious guess would be hardware. Was it working fine until you did something, or was it just all of a sudden?
The only other thing I thought of was that there's sometimes other folders in the camera app folder, like 'arm' or 'lib', etc. You probably would know if you did something to that, though.

Last thing I did, I was recording a video. I watched the video, then I wanted to go back to the camera, and it said camera not avaible, I restarted the phone, and then it started the black screen issue. BTW, I can take pictures too, I can feel it's focusing sometimes but if I look into the image file with a hex editor, it's got only zeroes in it.

But thank you for trying to help me

It must be some sort of software issue as it's very unlikely hardware would have failed on both cameras at the same time

Have you already done 'diagnostics' test in settings, or *#*#7378423#*#* service test, and they both fail? Only other thing I can think to try would be replace whole folders in /system with working stock ones.

Yes I tried them, both of the cameras still doesn't work.
What if delete everything in the root folder?

2 final guesses - bad kernel, (have you flashed a custom kernel? If not, reflash stock one via Ft), or some 3rd party app that messed with your software. Just try uninstalling stuff one-by-one.

Camera App isn't saving pictures! Awarding $10 for solution.

My camera app isn't saving anything locally whenever I take a picture. In fact, there's no gallery icon in the camera app at all that you can normally click on it to take you there.
Also, when I try to attach a photo to a message from the MMS app, Gallery crashes and photo never attaches.
Finally, when I load up Gallery manually, all it sees is my 'Screenshots' folder and a couple of screenshots that I have saved in there. There's no camera photos anywhere.
I'm running AOKP JB B2 and FrankoKernel Milestone 5
Any ideas? I've tried SD rescan already. I'm wondering if I need to reformat my internal storage. I've just noticed that my 'external storage' isn't showing up when I plug my GN into my PC as well and whenever I run SDRescan, SwiftKey starts getting angry and tells me I have no language files and I have to redownload the English dictionary again.
Finally, I'm offering $10 via PayPal to the person who can help me fix this issue. Thanks!
Is your camera folder still there?
Storage>Sdcard0>DCIM>Camera

Have you tried using an alternative camera app, to make sure the internal SD is working with photos? I suggest CameraICS, it'll be the closest other than CameraJB+, which is a paid app

Downloading now. My service is abysmal at work so it's taking a little bit.
EDIT: CameraICS has no icon for the Gallery when taking pictures. The pictures that are taken don't get saved to SD card. Trying to attach a picture to a message with it crashes CameraICS, instead of crashing Gallery as with the stock JB camera.
You might try re- downloading your ROM and re-flashing with a complete wipe

I believe this has persisted past a couple of ROM installs but I will install AOKP JB B4 when I get home tonight and see what happens.
Will update in ~3-4 hours when I get home and have time to do this. Maybe corrupted GAPPS? Is that the package with Camera / Gallery in it?

Depends on the Gapps package. Some have the Google built Gallery/Camera (with Picasa sync) others leave the source built version which has extra features such as using the power button for the shutter (but no Picasa sync).

Just finished flashing GAPPS and AOKP JB B4 from here:
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/jb-build-4-r32
Verified the MD5 of both before flashing. And the same exact problem is persisting. Gallery crashes when attaching through MMS and camera photos end up lost in the ether, never saved to SD card.

This happened to me when I first rooted my Nexus. The camera toke the pics, but they weren't saved... plus some other weird things.
It ended being a file/folder permissions issue. It seems I did a nandroid backup restoration in a wrong way (I wanted to restore my previous data, after the mandatory wipe out of the rooting method).
Anyways... The post that gave me tips for the fix was this one (from user cmstlist):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26967620&postcount=7
Sometimes the file ownerships get messed up after a cycle of recovering the OS and restoring files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1515291&page=2
If you have any other directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
This fixed it for me and others.

"Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." message, please help!

Hi,
On my LG G3, camera displays the unfortunately camera has stopped message. I cannot access the camera using this application nor through any 3rd party applications. I can however access the front facing camera using snapchat but not the rear. I have tried the method of clearing cached, data then force stop it and reboot. This does not solve the problem. I have also rebooted the phone in safe mode to determine if it was interference from any 3rd party applications however even in safe mode I got the message, which leads me to think maybe a hardware problem. Can anyone offer some advice?? The device is not rooted. I go on holiday next week and was looking forward to taking some good pictures with it too!
Regards
Ajay
did you make any mod for the camera ? like video quality or bitrate ?
if you did your problem is with the permission of the files you changed. it happended to me too.
i decided to reinstall everything since a wipe didn't solve the problem. later i discovered that i forgot to chance the permissions. so the reinstall was unecessary...all i had to do was give the right permission as was stated in the post about the camera mod.

Do you have a 3rd party flashlight app installed? I had a similar issue and backtracked my installed apps a bit. I removed apps that I knew had access to hardware (removing each one at a time and rebooting my phone after each) The 3rd try was my flashlight app. After rebooting, the camera was back to normal. Also... the front camera likely worked because it doesn't access your camera's flash. Just a guess on that last part mind you. Hope this helps.

but a cse flash deletes all apps which he had done and still no luck, seems like a hardware issue to me
I agree. A hardware issue possibly caused by an app that isn't talking the camera flash's language. Just saying... I had the exact same issue less than 12 hrs ago. I see your point though.

Question Realme GT ME - AOD not work

After updating Realme GT ME software to Android 12, AOD does not work even though it is turned on in settings. Maybe someone can help solve this problem.
Problem solved. I did a complete phone reset. Everything works beautifully on the new UI 3.0
Hi,
did you restored with Google Backup after the reset?
I read in the web and in this forum, that the problem is common, and some people experienced it also after a full wipe restoring from the Google Backup, so you need to reinstall manually all the APPS and data.
Then I found a post that talk about the problem after a system restore, from Android 12 to Android 12, made only to clean the system. AOD worked before the restore, after no AOD.
It seems that's a problem also for OPPO ROM (seen also here in XDA Forum), know from December 2021.
Because I have 2 GT ME in my family, and some of my friens with this problem, I wrote also to Realme Support, Bug Report and some Telegram Groups, in this moment there isn't a sure way to solve, only the Full Wipe without Google Backup restore...
The only alternative way it's an APK file, but I don't know the source of this file, and if it's "safe" to make a try

We have two GT Master Edition phones and both of us have the issue. I did a factory reset and it was fixed, however as you've already said ír was broken again after Google sync. I will check those links. I wonder how could an APK fix something like this.
Hello I just downloaded it and installed it. Then I think about security. So I removed. But after removing apk Aod started working nicely.

Well because this is for oppo phones originally I think, something about colourOS. Anyway, it didn't do anything else and I removed it afterwards. What really bothers me though is the fact that it can be fixed in a fraction of a second by a 3rd party apk made by nobody. Why is there no official fix for this? Know since November...

Yes, but if it's from Oppo, I think that the certificate should be different.
Anyway I'm curious about the source of the APK...
About what you wrote, if the problem could be resolver with a simple APK installation, it's ridicolous that Realme/Oppo it's facing the problem from several month, and they don't released any simple patch...
From VirusTotal scan, I think that it simply create a user, so could be a simple linux permission problem or similar, on a process, a file or an executable
Searching for a solution, I found this link about the problem of the AOD not working after the update to android 12
https://www.reddit.com/r/Realme/comments/u4wgew
in my case it worked, it consists in installing an app from the play store (therefore theoretically safe), when I solved the problem, I uninstalled it.

Then I uninstalled the app and reboot the phone, all works fine.
A little detail : in the settings of this app the AOD, in my case, was already set to ON with the toggle, I simply moved it to OFF and to ON again and BOOM! It started working, with also the edge lighting!
Thank you again

Searching for a solution, I found this link about the problem of the AOD not working after the update to android 12
https://www.reddit.com/r/Realme/comments/u4wgew
in my case it worked, it consists in installing an app from the play store (therefore theoretically safe), when I solved the problem, I uninstalled it.

This app worked charms for me! Had to just disable the AOD through the app, and re-enable it there, and now it works perfectly.
Thanks a lot!
I don't see the gear button in my app

After updating Realme GT ME software to Android 12, AOD does not work even though it is turned on in settings. Maybe someone can help solve this problem.

I solved it with the simple "Reset system information only" from the Reset phone menu. it's less painful than factory data reset

WhatsApp not working!

Well, I do not know when or how but Whatsapp app is broken on my device! Just not starting anymore, I only get some force crash screen of about 1 second and that's it...
I have a Note 8T with latest EEA software 12.5.4.0 MIUI 12.5, rooted with Magisk, custom recovery (OrangeFox)
Funny story but enabling dual apps for Whatsapp, basically another user, I managed to start and use the app, as a secondary app because the base app is still dead!
Now, my question is:
How do I get Whatsapp to function normally again???
Things I tried:
1. clean cache and data - no fix
2. uninstall/ install app - no fix
3. enable miui optimizations - no fix
4. fix/ repair data partition in OrangeFox recovery - no fix
Is there anything else I could try in order to fix this issue? It might be somehow related with the user part of the data partition? But why only this app is affected then?
I'm just baffled by this turn... don't know what to do anymore...

try with :
uninstall/reboot/install
if still not work
go to : Data/system/dropbox
delete everything
open wsp and send the generated crash log (from that folder)
Well, tried twice uninstall/ install procedure... Same result...
Thank for this info. I'll try.

i said uninstall/!REBOOT!/install
when you reboot, the package manager will delete the app leftover
the app crash because there is some data left from a previous version
try deleting "com.whatsapp" folder from
/data/data/
and from
/user_de/0/
also whatsapp folder on internal storage
Holly mackerel!!!
You know how many times I rebooted this device???
But, now, it worked without deleting anything except the dropbox content you mentioned earlier!
It just went smooth, install, setup, restore backup and all without a glitch!
THX A BUNCH!!!
Anyway, I would really love to know how was this possible in the first place as I did nothing specially regarding this app... and found myself in this situation of not being able to use it anymore... why only this app? Was something some update maybe that broke something?

dosn't matter how many time
what matters here is the timing (reboot after uninstall, once booted install)

this has nothing to do with this problem, it has only crash logs of apps ...
