Hey guys, i've been having some trouble lately with taking pictures on my front facing camera. I'm using the t-mobile variant of the samsung galaxy s3 (its actually from wind, but theyre the same). The last rom i had installed was cyanogenmod, and it was working fairly well, except every once in a while, when i took a picture or video from the front facing camera, the phone would crash immediately and reboot. I tested this with many different camera applications and they all had the same result. I decided that i would try a different rom to see if that was the issue, so i installed the latest version of Carbon. The problem persisted, and it even got worse. Now every time i take a photo using the front facing camera, the phone will crash and reboot instantly. I read around, and there appears to be some issues with snapchat and such, but i dont think that is my problem as this is occuring with every camera application i have. I have also checked out some other threads related to this issue, and some seem to have the same problem, with no real solution. Apparently a temporary fix seems to be clearing the application data, but even that doesn't work for me. If i could guess, i would say it has something to do with custom roms in general as i have seen no reports of a stock rom phone having this issue, or perhaps a gapps issue, but those are just some thoughts.
Some Info:
Model Number: SGH-T999
Android Version: 4.4.2
Carbon Version: CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140316-0304
I'd be happy to provide any extra info needed. Thanks so much guys, it would be great for me and all the others that have this issue if there's some way to fix this problem. I'll try to be as active as i can to provide any info or test any possible solution for everyone. It seems like a big problem for a lot of people.
I'd really appreciate any and all feedback. Sorry for the bump.

So I just got my Gtab this week and already love it... Big thanks to all the devs on this forum, you guys are great... I'm currently running g-harmony gingerbread 2.3.
An issue I have is that I can take pictures just fine but when I try to take video it records for maybe 5 seconds before the picture freezes and then I get Sorry! The application camera (process.com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Is there a fix for this? Also, I cant sync my Facebook account, but I'm less worried about that.
From reading the GE developer forum it seems to be a common problem with the camcorder/camera. I think it may be due to the lack of Nividia supporting hardware acceration (as of yet or ever).

Okay so this is my first post on XDA and I hope it's in the right section. Anyways I bought an HTC Incredible off a collegue of mine about two weeks ago. I got the phone and immediately rooted and installed a custom rom (MIUIv4 to be exact) I noticed after a lil while that the touch screen would randomly go berserk clicking things, calling people, etc (usually right after turning screen on) When the screen starts doing it I'd turn it off and back on and it would be completely fine. I thought to myself "maybe it's just a problem with MIUI and installed PONS CM7. I still had the same issue. Now whats strange about all of this is if I'm running an RUU or Stock based rom the screen NEVER acts up. I've read on several forums that this is a hardware issue but most people still experience it on stock roms, this is not the case with me. I won't deny that it could be a hardware issue, but it's an issue that can be solved with kerenl/dirvers/software. I'm wondering if I can use the drivers and software from a stock based rom to combat the issue and make custom roms run like they are supposed to. In all of my research I found this link which seems to be pretty promising but I don't know where to begin with it. Unfortuneately I can't post a link until I've posted 8 times, uuugh.
Edit: It seems the longer I run a custom rom the more frequently the issue happens.
If anybody is intrested in helping it would be greatly appreciated. I've been racking my head for over a week on this one. You can look up the blog I read on google. It looks like it could solve my problem.
Unresponsive touchscreen of Nexus S solved by tuning kernel
Hello all, this is my first post in the S2 section. I bought a very cheap S2 today but it has 1 issue (hence why it was cheap). The rear camera will only focus on close objects (>30cm) OR when it is facing up. If I point my phone down to look at the floor for example, it won't focus on anything unless i'm ~30cm from the floor. If i point my phone to the sky or higher than eye level it will focus. It sometimes will focus when I point it at eyelevel but it usually wont. I have updated it to XWLSS and the still issue persists. I bought this phone because i thought that this issue was a software issue but updating it to 4.1.2 didn't fix it.
Camera firmware: SCEF02.
Phone Firmware: TBEC28.
I don't have FPS issues or pink issues, only focusing issues. I've tried other camera apps (lgCamera) but that didn't fix it either. I don't think my camera module is completely broken because it still focuses when pointed higher than eye level. If i select macro in camera settings, nothing changes so that's why I think it might be a software issue. This issue happens in both video and photo mode. The front camera works fine and everything else is fine. Is there anything that can be done hardware wise or software wise? I don't want to change my module due to laziness and lack of experience but is there anything I could do like resolder the module? Anything else I can do software wise? If it helps, I also have an i9100T (Telstra model, identical to the i9100 except for the radio).
If people don't really understand by what I mean (issue wise) i'll make a video showing the focusing range and non focusing range.
Could reinstalling the camera firmware fix it? Or installing a different version?

If anyone does have this problem, I fixed this specific i9100 by changing the camera module.

Add solved to thread title pls :thumbup: good job solving this mate. :thumbup:
Hello XDA,
Recently I've acquired a Razr (and I must say, this thing's great ), and have gone into my usual habit of slapping on different roms on it much like many of my previous Android devices.
In the process of doing so, I have noticed that many (if not most) of the 4.2/4.3 roms which are AOSP/CM based, they have some issues when recording video. The problem is that upon reviewing a piece of video which had been recorded with the camera, the audio channels are very off center. This led to my realization that the back microphone is the left channel, while the front microphone becomes the right channel.
Although this bug is not very critical, I was wondering if there are any known fixes for this. I have tried googling this problem, but it doesn't seem like many people have noticed/cared about this.
Thanks for reading, hoping that someone could shed some light on this issue!
EDIT: I'm currently running AOKP MR2 with JBX 1.4 Kernel, as well as Artmod 4.31. Artmod does not have this problem as it is stock based.
I'm trying to figure out what the most stable and functional ROM is for my MDK VZW S4. I've tried to research this several times but I find that I have to essentially read through every thread for every ROM, and even then there are things that are left out. My previous phone was a Galaxy Nexus, so I was probably spoiled by the wealth of information about the various ROMs, but there's no reason we can't have a thread like this.
History of my ROM usage with my S4
I started out with Hyperdrive ROMs but later decided I just couldn't deal with TW no matter how much work the Hyperdrive guys did try to clean it up (kudos to them for the best ROM for people stuck with a locked bootloader though!).
Next up I went to Gummy ROM to try out 4.4, which honestly hasn't really impressed me. My GPS never works right, seemingly related to the compass problem? Not sure here, but this is a major deal breaker for me.
Problems I've had and seen mentioned in multiple threads; are these fixed in ANY ROM???
The above mentioned compass problems. I've read about factory calibration issues, I'm going to try a few of those fixes, but I also see a LOT of people saying this is a driver issue? Which is it?
HDR camera doesn't work, attempting to use it just makes solid black pics.
Bluetooth audio playback problems. I've heard this mentioned many times, but haven't had a chance to test myself. This only becomes a big deal for me in the summer when I'm using this feature to stream music to the stereo on my boat.
Thanks!
Dan
