So after flashing MHC19J via Clean Core, I can no longer connect to use the camera. What's even weirder, is that I downgraded back to my previous ROM, and now the camera has the same issue. I have no idea how to fix this. I have uninstalled the camera app via system remover app and reinstalled it. Issue is still there. Tried clearing data and cache, still not working.
Any suggestions? I have never had this before.
I have the same problem, could you find any solution?
I have to same issue too... help?
Guys try to flash full stock rom using sdk and then write if problem still is

I'm having yhe same problem, and it's acting strange, I wass on stock N when camera didn't started, rooted installed custom rom, and it didn't start neither.
Reverted to stock MM, and didn't start, upgraded to stock N again and worked just fine, after rooted and installed custom rom again it worked perfectly, and moments later didn't started, Rebooted two times and worked, later it didn't started again.
Tried to change vendor, rebooted in safe mode, nothing worked, any clue what might be the problem?
SOLVED: flashed the vendor again after installeg rom and camera started working,
Thanks!
Hi, after a while, the problem reappeared.
Again i've flashed the vendor.img and camera worked just fine for a while.
If i reboot to safe mode camera works fine but one time the camera didn't start even in safe mode.
So i can't find a proper path for this problem.
I've recorded 2 logcats, - at the first one camera worked fine
- the second one camera didn't start

Where did you buy? My phone was repaired by LG by warranty after the infamous bootloop issue and now camera has errors sometimes.

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

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.
I had a perfectly working Galaxy Nexus running CM10.x, which I updated to a CM11 nightly. This worked great for a week or so and then the camera and gallery started FCing. After several resets, restores, newer/older nightly installs, nothing changed. Tried all possible combinations of new/old Gapps, but still no luck. I tried different ROMs - PA, stock 4.3 and some others, but nope. I even tried Ubuntu Touch and even that couldn't access the camera. This is when I was pretty convinced that the camera module itself must have died.
My questions:
What killed the camera? Is it possible that a bad ROM could have done it?
Is it possible to fix this via software?
I can try and get it repaired locally, but I just want to know if anything can be done at home.
Thanks.

A ROM wouldnt just kill the camera over time. It would have not worked right after the ROM was installed. So I doubt it was a ROM. I would do a full reset. Not just a normal factory reset but flash the factory image and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't then most likely it's a hardware issue.

I've used the phone for over a year without any issues with several kernels and ROMs before and the camera worked just fine.
Yes, I've done a complete clean up - I wiped the whole phone and memory (using the fastboot -w option) and installed different ROMs and even a different OS (Ubuntu Touch), but the camera issue persists.
I believe it's hardware issue, but I just wanted to know if anyone's faced a similar problem.

Yup. I believe that's the exact post I referred to when I did it.
It even lost root during this process (of course) and I had to do it again - something I hadn't done in almost two years.
Since it was a spare phone, there wasn't any useful data on it. I backed up a few pictures and completely wiped it clean. No luck.
I'll add that the issue is only with the camera. Some apps FC, some apps (such as Camera+) give a message saying it was unable to connect to the camera or something. I believe the Gallery also FCs because it uses the camera at some point. All other apps work perfectly fine.

Usually if the phone has any issues at all, that process fixes them. And if it doesn't, then there is usually something wrong with the hardware. I wouldn't think the problem was brought on by installing a ROM or kernel though.
I think it's related to the kernel that you're using
......
i think yes but if you change the rom it will work
some roms the camera has some bugs big bugs colors are broken and stuff
Anyone encountered camera flash stopped working suddenky in camera mode, flashlight app or other 3rd party app? I used to clear dalvik and cache n it was ok for awhile but now it totally stopped working. Will reflashing it and reformatting it bring back the flash? T705 user here btw.

Well let's find out if it is a software issue or hardware issue. Backup your current ROM, then wipe data, flash a new rom and see if it works. If it doesn't it's hardware issue.

i already reformat everything and reflash.... it was fine till one point it started again. what i did next, i tried to fix permission in TWRP and it works!!! i wonder which permission causes the flash to stop working.... i had to fix permissionb everytime it stopped working....
anyone knows any way of which i can actually see what or which thing that causes the break??
My Tab S (T700) wont flash too! Only rarely. I tried in complete darkness and no flash! Im prolly gonna end up registering for this site just to comment!
Hey guys. After rooting it, I messed up with xposed and my phone started rebooting. It was usable, but whenever I would open any audio file, it would reboot. So I tried wiping my data in recovery and now I can't leave the starting setup! It always reboots when I'm digiting my wifi password. Does anyone know how to fix this? Got my phone yesterday.
Update: Got it past the starting setup, and can use it. but it's still rebooting all the time.
Figured the problem was with the asus keyboard. Backed up my swiftkey and it works just fine. but still can't hear any music and who knows what else

Be aware that there are xposed modules that either don't work or could cause issues. If I was you I'd stop all the modules, see if it has the problem on reboot and if it doesn't, try them one at a time.
If that doesn't work you might need to do a factory reset to undo the bad thing you did...

Yep. I knew about the modules. I was just dumb lol. All modules are off. Also already did a factory reset but it didn't work. It's not rebooting anymore, since um using SwiftKey, but I just don't have any sound. And it's like the sound can't be processed. When opening a song on poweramp it keeps going to other tracks until I close it, and the other players just get stuck. All the system sounds are also not working.
Just found out the calls work. Only in the loudspeaker though. Funny

Hi,
Not too sure if anybody else has had this problem. Every day morning, when I try to use my phone first time in the day, the phone app does not open. It opens and closes within half a second. It has been happening daily. A reboot fixes the issue for the moment.
However, need to check if anybody else has been facing this issue.
I am running stock 3.2.6.
To resolve the issue, I have tried hard reset, flashing stock OS, flashing 3.1.2 and then flashing the incremental OTAs, almost everything I have tried.
Looks like the issue has not been resolved at all. Tried switching off the doze mode as well. Not helping.
Anybody has any guidance/solution to this problem?

Make a clean install of the full 3.2.6 ie after wiping system, data and cache/Dalvic. Do not install the earlier version/s and update via OTA or flash the OTA.
Maybe you have some app that is conflicting with your phone app.

Seems like the issue was due to a specific app. U sure though.. I uninstalled a set of apps which I had installed before the issue started. Currently looks like it has been resolved.
Same thing is happening for me in 3.2.8 no matter what ... That too only in morning as Mr.Deepak said please help .. I have tried re-flashing ROM etc ... What could be the issue?
@deepakmasthi can u please let me know how did your issue get solved.. as I'm facing the same problem as u.. Please help
