basically I got a second hand samsung galaxy s2 recently.
Everytime I load it up it says camera fail.
I can't use instagram or snapchat.
When I make a video or a non video call on skype it cuts out straight away.
However I can record and send videos on skype (so assumably the front camera is ok?)
is there anyway to set the instagram/snapchat cameras to front camera so that I can use them the same way that the skype video works.
I am running cyanogen mod 10.2
issue was present before rooting.

try camera in stock ROM .. if it works... problem is in ROM.... then factory reset your phone and test again..if still didn't work try different kernel .. ask from OP thread of CM 10.2

hey guys,
I rooted my friends sgs2 and couldn't get two things to work. the portable WiFi hotspot keeps getting an error when i try to click on the check-mark. the second one is the video camera doesn't work. he's running the cm7 (not nightly) is there a ROM that has a working video cam?
thanks
I'm also running CM7 (not nightly). I believe the exact rom I flashed was from this thread (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Galaxys2ATT) and the video camera works fine. I just tested to confirm, I was able to record video with both front AND back cameras.
That said, I've heard that CM7 doesn't support 1080p video recording even when the camera IS working.
i use MIUI 2.9.29
i cant use the video recording option in my phone
whenever i try to record something i get recording failed error
tried different apps for the camera but none of them worked
when i try to record on my front camera its ok but not on the rear
??
just checked something and it only happens when i record on full HD
anything below that works fine
why is this happening ?
Probably the rom .
jje
i would try that only i read a few threads of people who had the same problem and tried switching roms and still had this problem
i dont want to go through with the effort for nothing :/
updated to OMEGA ROM everything is working now
Hi I am running Helly Bean 4.1.2 on a Samsung Galaxy SII.
Everything works great, except that I cannot record any videos at all on the back camera. I've tried switching the mode to 480p and it records a blurry image only.
It does not even record on 720p and 1080p.
However, if I switch it to the front facing camera I will be able to record. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Hi thank you for your reply. I'm afraid that it still doesn't work.
I had the same problem when I flashed the new camera app from android 4.2. Then I just installed camera jb+ from the play store and that seem to work fine.

thanks it works!
Hi guys. Flashing a new camera is great but just so you know there is a way to make the old one work. The reason you get this issue is the remainer of some of your old kernels. One easy way to fix that is to reinstall rom clean and during the installation to perform system format from mounts and storage in recovery. Works like charm. Also clears out abunch of other old init.d related issues.
Good luck
Next time you guys install rom with full wipe do format system and you'll see the 4.1.2 camera records video in all formats
I installed cyanogenmod 11 on my S3 using cm installer. Everything worked fine until I used the camera one day. I wanted to record a video and found that my phone recorded video only at 15fps in 1080p. So I returned back to touchwiz. Did anyone have the same problem?
Have you read the common bugs section?
Yes, it's normal
There is a fix for it if you want CM back

Its a fix for the bug 'cannot connect to camera and autofocus'. It doesn't even mention the frame rate issue.
I don't know if anyone faced this problem.
But on my Galaxy S3 i9300, the camera works super fine except on snapchat, only when recording. When I record, it only records to the quarter of the length, which means only 2 seconds.
I have tried Omega ROM which is based on stock 4.3 JB and it worked well. All the kitkat ROMs are based either AOSP or AOKP and I only had the problem with those, the stock touchwiz (4.3 JB) worked fine.
I am downloading the AOSB rom but it's based on CM11 which is based on AOSP I guess? But, I hope it fixes the problem..
If anyone knows any KitKat stock ROMs for Galaxy s3, please list them and I hope they're great.
Thanks in advance :]

Had a dream about this... Try going to camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Then go to Snapchat and see if that works. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you!!
