Camera error message: can't connect to the camera.
version 4.4.3
omni 4.4.3-20140606-i9100g-nightly
I used the stock camera last week and everything was fine. Tried using it today and got the error message. Tried a few fixes, different camera apps (they crash) and reinstalling the stock apk. Not sure if I was using the correct stock apk because installation failed. Just tried the torch app and it crashed as well. Any ideas? Thanks

My Samsung Galaxy SII had been working fine, no issues at all until two days ago I went to take a picture and the camera won’t work, the camera screen is black and hanged up when I press to take a picture for a while then I just keep getting some error messages like force close, and media server not responding. I've tried to clear the cash and data for the camera application but nothing happened, I wiped the cash from the recovery mode without any success. Also I downloaded the app GalaxyS2 Camera Firmware Update and after installed and open the app freeze after the message of turning the phone to the airplane mode then nothing happened.
I tried other apps using camera some of the not working at all, and some recording some videos with the black screen on but after finishing recording it showed me what recorded but even this happened after long time of waiting for the app to do recording.
I tried to do the test for the camera using the code *#0*# for the back and front cam but get the error message of "activity factory test not responding (wait or Close)" then Camera failed. I searched over the web but most of those who had the same problem mentioned that they did factory reset with no luck.
My phone running:
Andriod version 4.0.3
Basedband I9100XXLPX
kernel version of 3.0.15-I9100JPLPF-CL644992

Build number IML74K.JPLPF.
Hopefully I will find a solution

I did a Factory reset from the recovery mode and it works for awhile and the closed with media scanning running error then I unmount the SD Card and now it works perfect, and when I mount it again the error message comes again..
I think the problem from the beginning with the SD card, so for anybody faced this first start with un-monunting the SD card and see what is happened first before he/she loose his/her other apps.
Hello,
I have to ask you a question that torments me for several days.
I just recently purchased a I9100G, just arrivatomi I proceeded to reset (the phone being used) and update the same to JB.Il phone it worked perfectly in all its parts, other than the camera.
When you switch to the app I get the message "Camera Error" and the application closes.
After several tests I noticed that installing the stock 2.3.6 rom the rear camera works fine, but not the front (same error).
Turning the Internet I found the code to update the firmware of the room
* # 34971539 *.
Well doing the code with the 2.3.6 rom drivers are
redoing the code after the aggirnamento JB drivers disappear (CAM FW: null).
How can I fix the problem?
Help me
hello everyone,
i have Lg g3 D850 its rooted and i am using cloudy g3 2.5 rom. I rooted the phone the day i bought it and installed cloudy g3
i noticed few days back that when i try to use camera sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt and say " Unfortunately camera has stopped " i have tried third party apps like Google camera and retrica but no use, they say " Cant connect to camera "
also i have tried to check my camera in Safe mode but " Unfortunately camera has stopped "
i have installed rom using TWRP installed through TWRP manager from play store,
i have tried restore my stock rom from twrp but problem still there,
i have also formatted media storage but all in vain :/
but after the format of internal storage camera worked fine for few hours
Can you tell me if it is a bug or hardware error ? cause if its a bug i really wanna clear it up without getting my phone opened
Some days ago I installed a Resurrection Remix Rom (I actually don't know which one, sorry. I just know that it's got Lollipop) and when i went to the camera it said: <<Can't connect to camera>>
I still had warranty, so I installed the stock rom (I checked the camera and it still didn't work) and I sent the phone to the company. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the warranty ticket it said <<SOFTWARE ERROR>>
The only camera I can use is the "selfies" one
When I received it, the error was fixed, so I tried to install another ROM, so I installed CM12. But... I got the error AGAIN and I haven't got warranty anymore
That's what I tried
-Install Reset Camera and Camera (CMFix) (Camera CMFix didn't open and I had Restart Camera Installed :v)
-Checking if an app is having troubles with the camera
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Holding down the volume/power/back
-Clearing Data and Cache of the camera
-Removing my SD card
-Renaming the DCIM folder
- youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990 (I can't even access to that menu ._.)
-Find “Use NuPlayer” and uncheck it & restart
-Using other camera apps
-Disabling the Google Camera and using the default one
-EDIT: I installed the Stock Rom with odin and did a factory reset. I even did a "system reset" with odin. AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK OMFG. Then I tried to update the camera firmware (youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990) because I've got KK now, but the "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" is disabled. I googled my camera Cam FW Ver and it's not old
Thank you, I'ts a really annoying error. My S3 is giving me too many troubles, I'm starting to hate it... But I can't buy a new one :crying:
OHMYGOD I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT ERROR HELP PLEASE
//reposting because nobody answered :v

If you're confident that its not a software issue, then go ahead and unroot your phone and show it once (sometimes the problem maybe that the camera slot just got loose). But 'can't connect to camera' is common from cm12 onwards. Maybe its a kernel problem. The fact that stock firmware also failed is something abnormal. Even in a few Touchwiz roms, kernel changes led to cameras not working.
Anyway, If you're still on stock rom do to the dialer and enter
*#7353# quick test
*#*#4636#*#* for test and information
*#34971539# for Camera Firmware Update and
*#7412365# Camera Firmware Menu

I did *#7353# and tested the camera and it told me Can't connect to camera again, I can't choose "Phone to CAM FW Write (Main)" in *#34971539# and *#7412365# and *#*#4636#*#* didn't work
I guess It's a kernel problem
Thank you so much!
[HELP] Camera failing with error "EVT or cal error, please change test device"
Hi. I am running my s6 edge on 5.1.1. I just noticed today that the camera is causing this error. When I used it a couple of days back, it was working perfectly fine.
The screen freezes and after some time the camera is stated as not responding. I tried clearing cache and data for the camera. I even insatalled a totally new rom, still the issue persist.
Please help me with this. Thank you.
