Me too, I opened up the board, and if I press hard on the camera connector part and open,it sometimes works, so I tried adding a little bit of padding behind it, so still it isn't working. Even the flashlight app is working so I think it might be a software or connector or mother board issue because sometimes the camera pens up fine,so definetly its a very mysterious problem. My camera actually stopped working while I was using Camera FV 5... While using te screen just turned white with some green lines,,, I thought it might be a bug and restarted the app.. But then i got the "cant connect to camera" error for the first,, from then it has continous..
I will try opening it up and try something again today..
Definetly its a software related prob.... My cam is now working

Got Camera failed warning... When starting the camera app, it woorks but camera part of screen is black, while I can move icons, but cannot switch to front camera nor trigger shot. After some time warning appears and app turns off... Tried everything I could think of, resetted, cleared app data, reinstalled several fws, cm9, kernels, tried code *34971539# - result is that it shows test title but no firmware info and again it shows test failed and than it turns off... Still, front camera is working only if trying face recognition... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
i have same problemfront camera have no voltage
if you've tried flashing a stock firmware and it didn't work....
then it's a hardware problem man.. i'm experiencing that one too. i'm waiting for my shipped camera to arrive so i could get mine replaced.
no matter how i flash firmwares, roms, and etc., it doesn't fixed it.

Hello everyone. I've looked everywhere and tried everything I can to fix my issue but with no luck. My camera doesn't work at all and the flash would only stay on for a few seconds using a torch app. At first I found a loose cable but a few hours later it stopped working again and I found the cable was partially loose again but just wouldn't work after that and the cable stays connected. I've tried a factory reset and I've also even replaced the actual camera. I also tried checking samsung apps for a camera update and couldnt find anything. After flashing with a nightly build of CyanogenMod 10.1 the flash will stay on with the included torch app with no problem but still no camera. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at a loss and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Anyone please? I've been stuck with this problem for 6 months and don't want to have to buy a whole new phone just to get a working camera. Its the only camera i have and I need it soon.
I've got the exact same problem and I haven't found a solution to it, seems like even changing the camera module won't do the trick
I saw a post here from someone that changed the Camera module and seems like it didnt work.

Hi,
Recently, the camera on my Atrix 4G stopped working. When I open the camera app it hangs for a little while and then I get "Can not connect to camera" error message.
I've tried to wipe cache, wipe davlik cache and did a factory reset (I'm using MROM :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836674)
but it didn't help. Also tried using a 3rd party app for the camera (camera360) but this didn't work as well.
What should I do? Is there a way that I can check if this is a software or a hardware error?
try doing a backup then full wipe and flash back a fresh ROM and then see if it works. If it does then it was a software problem on the old ROM maybe due to uninstalling some important system app or something around that line. If the camera still doesn't work on the new ROM after a full wipe then i would start to think maybe its more or a hardware problem but wouldn't be 100% sure without more testing.. good luck

P.S . i wipe , data/factory , cache partition and dalvik cache . but yet still no luck how do i do a full wipe ? ? ? ? maybe that might work ! THANKS IN ADVANCE
Simply put, your camera is broken

I got a non working phone (no power) from Ebay .They go for $15-20. I just replaced the motherboard on the broken phone with mine and camera is working again. Replacing the camera board on my phone was not as easy as replacing the MB. My front camera never had a problem.
Many of the custom roms after cm 7 stable have camera issues. kernal issue if you want a stable camera i would recommend using cm7 stable. the kernal project is close to getting a fully working camera with flash but i would call it stable yet. many roms ae using there kernal and i found i would have to restart phone very often for camera error. switching back to cm 7 stable fixed the problem for me.

Does the proximity sensor and light sensor work? And does the speaker go mute when you plug in headphones? If not, then it's a hardware problem. according to ifixit :
"One cable to rule them all: the rear camera, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, pressure contacts for the headphone jack, and side volume buttons all come out as one piece."
So you'll probably need to replace one of these :

I think I damaged mine when trying to fix the volume down button. I already flashed the stock sbf file using RSD Lite but it still didn't work. So I might just buy this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rear-Came...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item461135f1a1
and try and fix it.
Success!!!
I took the plunge and bought this :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Replaceme.../150836470715?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:GB:3160
It took just under 3 weeks to arrive in the UK.
I followed the guide on ifixit :

Now the camera is working great.
This is the first phone (hardware) I have ever fixed. Removing the old flex cable from the board was difficult because I didn't know you could just slowly pull it out. I kept trying to unhinge the plastic holding the cable and broke a small piece of it off. Attaching the new flex cable was also pretty hard.
I have a stock rooted G3 running ZV8. One day last week, my rear facing camera stopped working. No warnings or anything like that beforehand, just no longer working. I get a black screen with only a back button and the last pic taken icon, but nothing else. When I try to access the camera from another camera app I get the message that the camera can't be started or is in use by another application.
The front facing camera seems to still be functional, but can only be accessed by a camera app that goes directly to it, like Camera360. I'm at a complete loss as to ideas about whether this is a software issue, or a hardware issue. If anyone else has had issues with their camera no longer working, any info you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I am having the same problem, and it just appeared out of nowhere as well... I have tried clearing the camera apps cache and data and have wiped davlick from twrp but to no avail. Going to try wiping and reinstalling the rom and will get back to you if it works.
I am running the stock rooted rom :S
Can someone help me if this problem occurred to anyone? One fine day it just stopped working all off a sudden.
It's not working with any camera app, even the stock camera app, but the iris scanning works.
When using the iris scanner, I can see that the front camera is working.
Also, by entering *#0*#, the front camera works.
I have also tried flashing the stock firmware, resetting the whole device plenty of times, but it just doesn't work.
Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks!
