ICS camera problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive moved to cMIUI rom lately, and after playing with the ICS Camera I have noticed that I can't capture pictures with the front camera, and some other features doesn't work either.. when trying to use the features the message "Unfortunately, Camera ICS has stopped".
Any one had the problem? or have a solution?

It's a rom-related problem. Maybe you flashed the latest experimental/nightly

It's a ROM problem. These are the options you can try:
1. You can try third-party camera apps in market
2. Flash the latest version of the Rom
3. Stay with the Rom and live with the problem
4. Flash another ROM. There are plenty good ROMs out there.

How did you install it? What were the exact steps you did? The camera should be working.

I did full wipe, data, cache, dalvik ... started the installation via aroma .. thats it I guess, ohhhh.. I did downgraded cause of some problems in the last version.. can it be the problem? I did cache, dalvik before the downgrading..

Problem with other camera
My problem is that , my stock camera apk(ICS) is working properly but it takes long time to take that snap.
I tried to install other camera applications but i found that ever application displays "INVERTED SCREEN" (When the Camera id ON).
After clicking on the button (to take the snap) it automatically reverts back and shows Correctly in the Gallery..
Pls Help...

[Q] camera not work in ICS cm9 alpha beta :(

I download Cm9 beta with camera and camera work but after 15 min the camera not work i don't know why ?? i want fix it please if any body know to solve this problem tell me .. im waiting
Is it coming back with an error "cannot connect to camera"? if it is the go to settings - manage apps - camera - and force stop and clear data
after you do what dude^ said, try downloading a third party camera app from the market. not saying it will fix the issue your having but ive noticed on roms with known camera issues (only as long as its listed that camera has been "fixed") sometimes a third party camera will give better results than stock. my personal favorite is "magix camera MX" its free on the market and is very user friendly. i know the most popular one is "camera ZOOM FX" but i pirated it just to test it, and i didnt like it at all.

Same thing happened to me, boot into recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache then fix permission. Haven't had a problem since.

working sense4 camera? OneXXX

I am using Newts OneXXX ROM. Love it, but the camera does not work completely. The known issues I've read about are that during video the image capture button doesnt work, and face detect must be turned off. I'm having a problem with these of course, but more importantly the Panorama Mode closes the camera app, and the HDR (sun mode) also closes the camera. These both work on the Sense 3.6 camera, and I very much would like to use them. I've installed the ROM twice (first one was unstable due to I think incomplete wipes), so I don't think it is my install. Does anyone know if there is a fix for these issues? Am I the only one with these problems?
Just a note, the Autofocus does work great.
I use Nil's Business Sense 4.0 v2.6 and my camera is fully functional.
just use the custom hq camera app you can find here
SOLVED all working

The fix was to use Titanium backup, and under backup section find the camera app and "wipe data". This fixed the panorama mode, and the hdr mode. Interesting that this was on a fully wiped phone with the ROM installed. This was the second install for the ROM. There must be a problem with the install routine. I used the blue themed One XxX v3.2.1

Thanks for that I was having camera issues on a different rom and may try that next time it starts up again.

[Q] Galaxy S3 'Camera stopped working' after Jellybean Update

Hi
Can anyone else run the stock Camera app after the Jellybean update?
There's a yellow box around the shutter and when I go to take a photo the application crashes.
Other camera apps work fine!

I've been using it, and it works fine with me. Do you have any apps that may affect the camera? And was it working fine with ICS?
No extra apps, yes it did work in ICS.
I'm hoping someone with a working camera in JB can dump the firmware for me

I updated Insert Coin Rom to 3.0 and my camera hasnt worked since. updated tuesday, and only went to use my camera yesterday and discovered it freezes on opening. flashlight toggle in my notifications bar also causes system UI to crash.
switched to Anonorom this morning, factory reset, restored apps + data from Titanium Pro, same thing. camera and flashlight both crash my system UI.
which sucks cause previous IC rom was great.
any help would be awesome. otherwise i guess i'm either flashing rom's or doing a full factory reset and restoring manually i guess..

clearing camera data, got me 2 extra seconds of function by giving me the move to sd card option. LOL.

First step is always factory reset .
Followed by flash stock firmware .

Also started having this issue last week, more than a month since I got my 4.1.2 OTA from T-mobile.
From what I experienced, both incidents when I was out, were in low light, and after I enabled low light mode within the camera controls.
There would be a freeze, then app crash returning to the homescreen.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this, and I'd really like to know what is causing it.
I have a feeling it is a setting in the touchwiz camera... because other camera apps (vignette, eyeem) launch the camera fine and without issue.

I started getting the freeze issue a few weeks back. I removed the SD card and tried the phone without it and it was fine again. Wiped the SD card and put it back in and all is working again. Hope this helps some of you.

CM10.1 Keeps crashing Samsung S3

Hello.
I have CM10.1 installed and I update often but I still have my crashes happening. For some reason whenever I use instagram, facebook and other apps have the the camera function, my phone reboots. This doesn't happen when i use the regular camera.
Anyone had this problem?
Did u make clean wipe before flash rom? Or mega wipe something like that. Imo factory reset doesn't make ur phone clean enough for flashing rom. Try formatting system before flash rom.

Yes and it's annoying as hell! I've had CM 10.1.2 stable on for quite awhile now and yes I'd wiped it 3x, dalvik, etc but out of the blue one day, the Gallery app had my camera photos in a folder and when I clicked on a image to display from there, the screen went black and it rebooted. It's gone from bad to worse. Now it crashes when I even scroll through the gallery pics. So much for "stable". This is a considerable bug IMO.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??
Sds?
Suggest you change kernel (also suggest if you do the LATEST siyah one. most stable one so far).
Suggest you change rom: aosp not so good for s3: unstable and high battery drainage.
Also cyanogen known for being unstable on s3.
suggest foxhound rom if flash.

It seems that i /m facing the same problem here. I'm running the AEROM v5 and out of the sudden the camera stopped working, the flash as well. Every camera app that i used only opens the front camera and i cant even use the LED light as a torch. I contacted the seller and suggested a factory reset , i did it with no success. i think that it might be a "missing driver". I do not know a lot apart from flashing roms, recovery etc. Trying to work it through.
Did you try to open the cover and check if the camera is connected properly at the board?
Sounds like hardware.. Any other experiencing this?

It is a hardware matter , at least for me
