[Q] Camera app failing after rooting and custom ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently rooted my Galaxy S3 and installed the latest nightly build ROM of cyanogenmod. I love the fact that my phone is clean and fast again. I just run into some bugs, and I was wondering if anybody else got this?
Cannot connect with camera
After making one photo, the camera app freezes. If i close it and try to open it again, it says:cannot connect with the camer?
The only sollustion is rebooting the phone. Does anybody else face this bug? And how can I fix this?
rebooting after whatsapp notification
Whever I get a new whatsapp message, I open whatsapp and start typing a responce. But most of the time my phone starts rebooting after a few seconds. Whats up with that?
I hope somebody else got this, and can help me with these issues.

That's cm for you.Try slimkat or aokp.

my phone shut down alone

hi my phone shuts down, dont know exactly when becouse i hear the sms geting in but some times i dont open then, only after some times i get out the phone of my poket and it is off but i ever pas when its loket, never when i am using it. What can be the problem? should i reinstall it or can be fixed other way?
edit: sorry, i have a galaxy ace, cyanogenmod 7.2 kang by FrozenAceTeam
Hi there, I don't have much experience on Android devices, but if I were you, I would re-install the rom and make sure I did everything ok; if the problem persist I would search online to see if it's some rom bug or something.
If that didn't happen with the stock rom, I would think it's got something to do with the custom rom.
I would get an iPhone.

I don´t have cyanogemod installed, but i have read something about problems with special apps. Sorry I don´t know which apps, but you can try install the rom new and install apps step by step and test between. Perhaps you can find the app, which make your phone go down. Have you got chomp SmS or such an app? Sounds like an SMS - App problem

Just flashed new helly bean but now when fone rings....no ringtone. Is this happening to anyone else?
HellyBean Showcase
Installed Hellybean (9/11/12 version) on my Showcase (Cspire) and it works fine as long as it is in airplane mode. When out of airplane mode I get the constant error of Process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. I've flashed it several times but this error is there every time. Have i missed something in the installation process or is it something that can be fixed within the settings. Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated,

I have similar problem on aokp using Devil kernel. Ringer does not work if phone has not been touched for about 30 min or longer. If I understand right this is an issue with deep sleep. Maybe someone can confirm this.

I am unable to call and others are unable to call me (CM10.1)

I installed cyanogenmod 10.1. Everything is fine, I update it whenever update rolls out. Today my sister was unable to call me. During that time wifi was turned on. I tried to call from my phone to my friends, I was unable to do so (after a while during call my phone beeped and automatically stopped the call). I was able to fix this issue only by turning on and off airplane mode.
How to fix this issue? People are unable to call me. Whats the point of having a phone than?
I own SGS2 I9100 with CM10.1. I installed everything by following their tutorial.

Backup your apps/appdata with TB Pro and then do a clean install of rom.
Alternatively first try flashing modem.
I had this issue with CM10 (4.1.2 JB) too. I installed CM10.1(4.2 JB) by following this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036229). I done everything right.
gastonw - everything is working fine. I think this problem occurs only when I am conneted to wifi. It doesn't appear instantly when I turn on wifi, but It does occur sometimes, after a while. (Sure, I will say hi for you )

Lol, next beer is on me.
Now, you shouldn't have to turn off Wifi to make/recieve calls, that's nasty. Try going stock, enable wifi and make/recieve a couple of test calls. If it flies, go back to CM.
I already tried that. With stock samsung's android - everything works fine. This problem I encounter only with cyanogenmod. :/

No CM for you then. Try another custom rom and from time to time go back to CM to see if the issue persist.
What an awful thing to hear What about custom modems (that modem file, which you can install through odin)? Would some sort of custom modem help to fix this issue?
Well, can't hurt, can it?
why don't you use the same stock modem when you are on CM?
Trial & Error is the best option here.

[Q] Keyboard stops working???

I am Currently running the 5/18 build of Pacman ROM and recently I have had a problem where keyboard (swiftkey) will just stop working and the only way to get it back is to reboot my phone. I dont get a force close message or anything, it just doest pop up when I touch a text box. Anyone have any ideas or any fixes?
Have you tried clearing the app cache? Also you could try to un-install and re-install.

[Q] Unable to connect to camera

hi guys i have been using a customer CM11 rom for my mega for a few months already.
however recently, after using any ROM for a while, whenever i go to the camera app, the error message always pops out "unable to connect to camera". I need to reboot my phone before being able to access the camera again, but after a few days the same thing happens.
Any idea why this happens? almost every CM11 rom i tried have the same issue!
