Hello,
I have a problem with my camera, indeed when I reset my rom, the devices work fine but after a restart the app crashes.
I installed a custom rom and same symptom. I don't know if it comes from Android 11 or from another point.
I'm not sure if it's from Android 11 or something else, has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks

Hey,
I know there are a few threads on this but I haven't found one that followed through to a reported solution.
G2 rooted with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 since January of this year. Tried google goggles and the app locked up. I finally realized that was because the camera has stopped responding. When I pressed on the camera help, nothing changes for a few seconds, then it goes to a black screen. Eventually, (pressing on the back key helps) I'll get a force close/wait screen. Camera had been working fine the previous day.
I've tried clearing caches, using a different SD card with no changes. Used the opportunity to finally upgrade to CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and cleared all the caches as part of the flash. Tried the camera the first chance I could get the phone to that point. Same response from the camera (hesitate, black screen, force close).
So, is there anything else to try or is this a hardware camera failure?
Thanks for any help.
Try flashing some other rom. If that fails, then try flashing another radio.
I'd suggest taking a rooted stock rom and a stock radio just to be sure.
Thanks, but I'm trying to understand what any of that would do to fix the camera over what I've already tried.
I guess I'm looking for anyone that actually had a similar problem and either fixed it or failed to fix it.
Thanks.
Well for once the stock rom uses HTCcamera.apk to open the cam. Since you are using CM7 its a completely different apk.
Radio is somethign that is responsible for almost every device on your phone. Then the drivers that are in the Kernel, and then the ROM which has the apk, that uses the driver from the kernel to start the camera that is defined in the radio.
Well, nothing worked. Unrooted and back to stock (camera still doesn't work). Replacement phone is on it's way.
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
This problem appeared in 101 ROM when i tried to used photospere. the mosaic would never align to start the image. So i tried photo 360 to check this. same problem. i checked the gyrocope in service menu. it keeps on rotating even its kept in the stable most place.
so i thought it was a hardware issue, however when i verified the same in 4.3 (569) rom it was perfectly stable. gyrocope would move according the position of the phone. This is where i could conclude that this was a software issue.
And now in 230 (4.4) this problem still exist.
I even verified it with CM 11 ROMS. i didnt have any problem in gyroscope.
Now, is there a way to fix this. as per one of the post this was a kernel problem. if this is a kernel problem what are the things that are needed to fix this. as in any libs or files that may be able to fix this issue. please comment below.
Can the files from CM rom be used to fix this issue?
Note: i have done PCC repair like so many time so it doesnt really wont. so suggest something else.

I've faced the same problem. and just for photosphere, I have to stick to CM. I see you'd posted the same query on the Z forums but that thread got locked.
any success figuring out what's up with the gyroscope driver?
Experiencing the same problem too

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.
Hi,
Since I got the latest Oxygen OS update (I'm on Oxygen OS 9.0.4) . My Phone App has started crashing if I make a outgoing call or get one. First the Phone App crashes and then the system UI Crashes. The Phone was working fine till this update.
Thinking this is an issue with the Oneplus Oxygen OS update, i tried to move to Pixel Experience OS. The version I installed worked well but again when i did a OTA upgrade the same issues started recurring. There I also faced crashes if I used the camera app.
Frustrated I moved back to the Stock Rom.. But the Problem of the Calling app still exists. I"ve tried installing alternate diallers but its the same effect. I'm attaching my log file here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nLldKekVd_ZLWRghbPeJP94cdimQpsf6/view?usp=sharing
Can you guys help figure out whats happening ?

try clean flash any beta version of oos , or use unbrick tool to restore all firmware to factory setting.
Hi
Would this be the unbrick tool ? https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012/amp/
Seems like a very old version ?
Hello
I tried doing the clean flash to the latest Beta.. But still getting the crashes. Will try un bricking now.. However is there a chance its related to the hardware ?

no, perhaps its related to software. are u using any mod or theming?
Hi,
Currently none. The phone was on Stock Oxygen till 3 odd months ago and was working fine. After one of the OTA Updates, this problem started happening. Since I could not find any consistent users reporting the same issue on Oxygen, I decided at that point to try using a different ROM and switched to Pixel experience. The phone worked ok for 2 weeks or so post that. Again after a new OTA came and I upgraded it started crashing again.
In the team time i saw another update to Oxygen had come so it thought i'd try going back to stock.. But not avail. Its still crashing.. Its only the Phone App that acts up. Everything else works fine. However the first time this issue came video playback was also freezing.
The logs that i have posted show these crashes but I dont have enough knowledge as yet to understand the reason.
After the above response to try clean flashing the latest Beta. But the issue persists..
Try see if the phone app is set as standard app for handling phone calls.
Hi
Tried that ..it is set as default.. The latest trial I did is cleanflashed an older version official ROM v5x of Oxygen OS... Problem is still the same..
Infact worse.. now I've got the settings app crashing and random reboots in addition to the phone app crashing !
I'd thought if this issue is due to post 9.02 upgrades this would solve it . But it's made it worse..
