[Q] Camera shows a black screen and does not function. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help please.
When entering the camera app its all black nothing really functions inside. (You cant take a photo/switch to front cam/reach any of the settings).
That problem continues with camera-using apps like Camera360, Instagram, etc...
I tried so far:
Unmounting SD card
Clearing dalvik/cache.
Factory data reset.
But no success.
Im using 4.1.2 stock with Jeboo Kernel if that matters. (Philz CWM)

If you even tried factory reset,I can't say anything.You can try to reflash your ROM via Odin,or flash a custom ROM,but I think camera failed.

I mean that your camera is dead= broken.You can get a new one from eBay.But I recommend you to flash multiple ROMs to see if it is really a hardware problem.

galaxy s3 camera

So this problem really annoys me. when i want to take picture, the camera screen just has a big rectangle on the right side of the screen, but it still takes the full picture, when i want to take a screenshot, it still shows the full camera screen. I'll make a bad paint picture to show how it looks
So i know it looks bad, but i didnt have another phone to take a real picture, so i hope you understand what i mean. i think it happened after i flashed a new cam firmware gdff02 or after updating siyahkernel from 1.3.8 to 1.3.8a, which i have now 1.4.
Stupid question: wipe cache and dalvik cache done?
retrace your steps, revert to the original camera firmware and check, if it didn't help then do the same with the kernel. If it doesn't help, then you can already exclude those things.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I have tried the above mentioned fixes, but doesnt work. I have not done anything out of the ordinary with my phone but this problem appeared right about the time I rooted the phone. Other then rooting, I have not flashed anything. The problem is exactly as OP described
Does any one else have this issue? Any ideas on how to solve it? I have tried using someone elses titanium backup for camera app, but same results

I've tried wiping both cache and user data as well as delvic cache. Both didn't fix the issue. As a side note, my phone has also been freezing a lot (usually on startup) and I won't be able to do anything but soft reset it with the power button. Because of this, I have tried restore my phone to factory settings. The problem with the camera will go away. But once I restored all my user data/app data using Titanium the problem will come back. I have tried excluding the camera app from part being restored (so technically the app would be left stock right?) but the problem still comes back. Now I'm at a loss as to what to do....:crying::crying:
Addition: the problem only happens the first time that the camera app is loaded, but usually wont happen if i reboot the camera a second time. It will come back if I don't use the camera app for a while. What is the problem!?!??!?!

Camera doesnt work, tried several solutions, please help!

Hello!
My camera is not working, when I open the camera app the flashlight go on, and the camera app freezes, all the touch functions of the camera dont respond and the screen goes black. I tried change several rooms, clean wipes, downloaded others camera.apk and cameras from the Play Store, but nothing works. When that happens I need to reboot the phone or wait some time to the flashlight go off. Now I am using Checkrom V7 in android 4.0.4. If I tried to use the flashlight only, the same problem happens, the flashlight wont go off and freezes the app.
Anyone have any ideia/solution for the problem?
Thank you!

If you did change ROM's and tried different kernels and did all the 3 wipes, it sounds like you have a hardware problem.

This problem hapenned when I installed the Ressurection Remix Rom JB Beta, a problem in the installation could cause a hardware problem ? Thanks!

Hi,
I already tried CM10 kernel, Siyah, Dream, samsung original rom, nothing works. I also tried today the new version of RR, 3.0.4, but nothing.
UP
anyone?
Does it work on stock ROM?

Mmm all i can suggest is what I would try. Install a stock ROM with full wipes as before but also format the system. If it's a software bug this should fix it as it's a clean installation. All the best.

Hi, I tried the full wipe with forma system, but that didnt work, and the stock rom also doesn`t work :crying:
Maybe if I send it to tech assistence they can check if it is a hardware problem?
Thanks!

If it doesn't work with stock ROM then send it to service centre.

Maybe you don´t download RR room completed, download again and review if MB is completed, do wipe Data (factory reset), and cache y dalvik wipe, in mounts and storage: format system, format cache, format data.
Reinstall teh room and no install anyone apk.

Xperia sola Camera not working

Hello,
I have an Xperia sola with stock ICS rom.
I recently rooted and unlocked the boot loader of my xperia sola.
After that I ran Supercharger v6, Speedy Sola and AC!D Audio.
The camera worked fine before I rooted and unlocked the bootloader (while on ICS and back when I was on GB), but today I noticed that when I try to go to the camera nothing happens. I only hear a blink of the shutter and the screen goes black for a second.
I tried using Cyber Shot Mod but nothing changed, accept now there is no normal Camera app available, only the Cyber shot, which does the same as the stock camera app did (blink sound and black screen for a second).
I tried Flashing it to 6.1.1.B.1.54, nothing happened. Tried setting it back to factory but nothing changed.
I downloaded a camera app from Google Play and I can take photos there, but they are not as good and I would like to have my original camera app, as it was fine for me.
Please help.
Are you still using this rom with those apps installed? If so try a hard reset, if this doenst work try to flash stock ICS or GB rom...

Thank you for trying to help me.
As I wrote I already tried to factory reset it and flashing it back to ICS rom (with flashtool) but no luck.
After I did that it seems I still have root access, CWM is still installed and AC!D Audio is still there.
Do you refer to something different from factory reset when you wrote "hard reset"?
If not, do you have any other suggestions?
Then flash .54 tft again and do a full wipe (data), factory reset ang tick wipe data. You can remove sdcard if you want but everything from phone will be wiped, so bacjup what you want.

I apologize, it was my mistake. Accidently flashed kernel instead of full flash.
Fixed the camera.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY!

Hi guys! I don't know what is happened, but my phone doesn't turn on anymore... When I press the on button, the galaxy s II boot image appears, and then the boot kernel's image (i've dorimanx kernel). After 5 second, the image disappears, and remain a black screen... if i press the back and home button, they light for a bit. I tried to wait 10 minutes, but nothing. What could it be? I won't format my phone there are a lot of data... :crying:

I had this problem a few times after uninstalling Android tweaker Pro. The bad news is that I had to go into recovery, which was kinda hard, and reinstall my rom. The good news is that you could try doing that without wiping anything, as long as it's the same rom that you already had installed.

You can install the same rom without losing data, that's just common sense, but you may have to clear cache if you get a bootloop.

Do you have any idea about why, or does it just never opens? Maybe it has something to do with your ROM (a bug?) You can choose to wait until whatever dev made your ROM updates, if you can open phone.apk you can see your contacts from there so it shouldn't be a problem, you can also try to re-install your rom and clear caches this time.
why don't you just make a back up of your contacts on google..... and then sync again when you install another ROM....... you won't loose any of your contact that way even in future........

You can backup your data (like sms, contacts, logs etc) and restore after reset

[Q] Android is having lag after factory reset.

So, I've factory reseted my Acer Liquid E2 a couple of times because space issues and suddenly it started lagging. I've noticed this in games like Real Racing3 (which never had lag before) and even while scrolling trough Facebook or Instagram. So, I've tried resetting it again and the lag is still there. I have the stock 4.2.2 rom.

You need to clear the cache after factory resetting.
It still contains cache from the older firmware (the original before you factory resetting it).

Afraid not, but maybe there are some apps that will do it for you..
Can you send me a picture of the recovery screen. I can tell you which one you need to select.

Unfortunately, I can't take a picture of it because I have no other device. So isn't there anything else to do?
