Camera failure - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

My S5 front camera stopped working out of nowhere.I get the error "mediasever failed.Camera needs to restart".Is there a fix for this or is it hardware?

There's various fixes this has been a noted issue to some.
1st
try a reboot.
2nd
Open Settings > Application manager and then go to Camera app. Click on Force stop, Clear data and Clear cache.
3rd
*There is a possibility that an app which uses camera functions is causing*camera failed problem on Samsung Galaxy S5. For example*flashlight apps*may cause this problem. So boot your Galaxy S5 into Safe mode. If the camera works in Safe mode, then definitely it’s an app that you have installed on your phone is causing this problem. So uninstall it.. To boot samsung galaxy s5 into safe mode – Turn off your phone. While holding the power button, keep pressing the menu key (Left of the home button)
4th
Remove SD card this can be a issue possibly something going on where pics are being saved to sd card that has issues .
5th
Try a factory reset on device .
If all fails contact Samsung could be hardware related .

are you on a custom rom or are you stock?
Have you tried going back to full stock install ? Download the latest build for your phone - either the new LOLLIPOP or the previous one - you can get either one from threads here on XDA or by downloading from http://www.sammobile.com/
That should fix the problem if you havent already fixed it - if you are running a custom rom - go ahead and reflash that rom and that should fix it too.
Good luck

[Q] Android 2.2 home launcher deleted

Dear All,
I have accidently deleted the Home launcher app of my Android 2.2 mobile (Chinese H3000 model); as a result it is not going beyond the screen saver at all, the screen just turns blank with no widgets/shortcuts/buttons appearing at all!
Although it rings & receives calls when called.
I have already tried factory reset option.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem

You need to install any launcher
Press and hold home key if play store is in launch it and install any launcher or use any pc to open play store in browser with your gmail address

Dear Mr Akshay,
Thanks for responding but none of the two options work - Couldn't see play store in the launch on pressing & holding Home key; was able to access play store via gmail login on my PC & tried downloading - the message did appear that it will be loaded shortly on the device but thereafter nothing on the Phone. The main problem is that I'm not getting any menu buttons at all, it's only a blank screen as soon as I unlock the screen saver i.e I have no settings button or any other button. While connected to PC only the sd card gets read in the windows explorer on PC, but there's way to open sd card on phone!

Missing launcher fixed!
Hello to all!
I note a lot of inquires on this site many of users using programs's like Titanium backup and other "advance" users just deleted Launcher as soon is they get there hands on the root!
Then they find out that they can see only black screen. Many of you try to replace it with dozen of software's but find out that Debugging mode is off. And is no way that can be enabled.
Well not all that bad as it shows. Firs at all if you are still log in to your Google app go to your account on Google go to apps and download, it will stated online that item is available on your phone now it over, top bar you can see it and install it come to the phone via Ethernet - WiFi or 4G.
If you already reset your phone or hard reset and you still see the black screen watch my video on how to get launcher in to your phone very simple, using dongle, other Bluetooth enabled laptop or smart phone!
youtu.be/MGrhmAgKH0o
I has face the same problem as you and i has done it right way
Since you has root your android phone,I know that you are very excited to remove those unusefull apps same as me.I got the same problem as you that I also used China Mobile phone and can't done any of the suggestion here(suggested such as flash those .zip in recovery) that won't work on china mobile type.When I has delete my home launcher,one thing for sure,the screen is black after turned on and I did reset factory data in recovery mode(worst move ever cause my wifi connected password has totally gone).So,my first effort was I take my moms tablet and start downloading any launcher (.apk) .Okay,since before I get into black screen,If I press lock key,the ring menu will appear right?.I used those ring menu as a door to get into my bluetooth connection.At the ring menu,I drag it towards 'camera',and then click on the pictures that you have captured(gallery in camera).Just pick any random photo and click share (via bluetooth) after that,I send a photo to my moms tablet(actually just to make pairing cause can't go to bluetooth settings).After paired,I try to send the home launcher.apk from my moms tablet using bluetooth connection that has been paired this before.Eventually,after receive the apk file,I can't open it.It says "no application can perform this action"(but,maybe you should try it first.Maybe it'll work on you.If not, try another one of my step).So,I was frustrated having an unsolved solutions through internet source information and I almost dump my phone in the dustbin.But then,I try another way.This time,I use the same door/way(through camera in ring menu).But this time I try to send through gmail(I don't think that I have any wifi or data connection after reset factory data eh?!).But boom !! The idea comes to me that I try to send the photo through gmail account just to make a wifi connection(again,because I can't go to settings).So,after I try to send it through gmail,the Sign-In screen will appear(but remember,I don't have any wifi/data connected.What I'm going to do?!!).I just filled in my email and password and click Sign-In.Of course the connection can't be made because there is no connection at all.But the trick is,when you wait for a few seconds,you will be asked to make a wifi connection(automatically the wifi around you appear in the list).So,make a connection through any wifi and sign-in(yeay!!connection established !).After that,I try to send home launcher.apk through gmail using my mom's tablet to my phone and a few moments later you will get a gmail notification through notification bar.Click on it,and click install.There you go.You are safe again.

[Q] camera and gallery not responding on rooted device

My device is SGS2 INTERNATIONAL and rooted, and also uninstalled few preinstalled apps for personal needs and more RAM. Few days ago, i did CLEAR DATA and FORCE STOP of few downloaded apps and preinstalled apps as device memory was getting low and device was slowing down. But after that, i am not able to open Gallery and also Camera force close after few seconds (using ZOOM CAMERA as i uninstalled the preloaded camera app). Also having "android.process.media" stoping problem. Screenshot are not saved becuse gallery is not accessable and message display as "USB Storage is in use" (and also i am not using any microSD cards).
So need serious help as my Call Ringtone does not ring and no vibration as well, but message tones are working. I cant access Device Ringtone setting, i tried market Ringtone app but even tht app dont work. Also tried market Gallery app but useless.
Tried cache clearence and reboot as well for Gallery, Camera and Setting.
So need serious help as i am missing important calls and having problems with the device. Thnx

Download and flash the official firmware using Odin.
Also don't forget to backup the data before flashing.

thnx.bt flashing new firmware is the most last option for me.
give me some other solution except flashing. and also wht abt factory setting restore.
Doing a clean install (with a wipe) of stock as suggested by the previous poster is a sound idea, you'd do well to do exactly that (if you want to fix your problems, that is).

comee on guyz, no other solution except new stock flashing.
plz do tell me if u got some solution.
thnx
Do a factory reset then. You're doing that whether you flash anything or not. You either flash + factory reset or factory reset on its own (which might not work). They're the possible fixes, you not wanting to do those things doesn't change the fix.
That means i am stuck with Flashing only.
Thanks for your support but i will try to find out some solution.
One more thing, i deleted the two files application-support.apk and application-support.odx , so can these two files cuase such problem (as on xda-forum i learned that by deleting these files, "android.process.media stop" problem can be solved easily with out de-stabling the ROM)

hi. what about flashing kitkat 4.4. will it be oka.

Stock rom first, then if you want to put a custom rom on you can do that. The first thing is to get the phone working normally again I.E no FC's.

[Q] need help for my samsung galaxy tab p3100 please

hello guys,
i need some help please, i've just rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 - GTP3100 by following this video at youtube, since i cant put outside link
it's on the first video list when you type "how to root galaxy tab 2" this video is made by droidcheats
Then i pressed volume up + power button and ended backing up my device on internal sd card wrongly. Now my phone working very very slow because of memory low.
I've tried to deleted the back up by pressing volume up + power and then deleted the files in "back up and restore"
but my device still low on memory, i tried to reset it few times and suddenly it goes on black screen
my tablet still able to finished load samsung logo and still looked fine on homescreen
but after i slide it to unlock, the black screen is occurred
i still can access settings, home and back button
specially when i access settings, i can't do anything like formating device or deleting applications
i've tried to restore factory settings using clockworkmode by pressing home button and volume up
it worked.
but when i try to restored my previous back up data, the black screen re occurred.
what should i do?
if i can't fix this problem and will have to reset on factory settings, is there any application to read the back up data? since i backed up it on external sd card
probably if i can read the data, i could restore some important data.
thanks before
dude

And download the website download and not the cnet option as there will be two options

And rooting software in the phone is SuperSu

(Can't connect to camera) S3 i9301 with CM12

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:

Files crashing - cannot attach files

Have this weird problem recently with my Mate 10 Pro. Whenever I clicked on attach files in any apps that uses the native files browser, it will load the file browser for a split second before crashing. Anyone has the same problem or knows the solution? Thanks.

Did you try to delete cache from native files browser or install another one?
Tried deleting both cache and data and it didn't help. Installing another browser doesn't help cause I can't choose the browser for these apps to use to select files.

He can set a differrent browser (for web) for standard browser but he cannot change the file manager, which is what he means with "file browser" I believe.
Before trying a factory reset you can also try to wipe the phones cache. You can do that booting into stock recovery:
1. Switch the phone off
2. Press Power + Volumen Up simultaneously
3. When the Huawei logo appears release the power button but keep pressing Volume Up until EMUI menu / stock recovery is shown
4. tap on "wipe cache partition"
5. after wiping is done tap on "reboot system now"
Maybe that helps.

3. When the Huawei logo appears release the power button but keep pressing Volume Up until EMUI menu / stock recovery is shown
4. tap on "wipe cache partition"
5. after wiping is done tap on "reboot system now"
Maybe that helps.

Yeah obviously. I thought we can configured files browser in default app but it's wrong...

He can set a differrent browser (for web) for standard browser but he cannot change the file manager, which is what he means with "file browser" I believe.
Before trying a factory reset you can also try to wipe the phones cache. You can do that booting into stock recovery:
1. Switch the phone off
2. Press Power + Volumen Up simultaneously
3. When the Huawei logo appears release the power button but keep pressing Volume Up until EMUI menu / stock recovery is shown
4. tap on "wipe cache partition"
5. after wiping is done tap on "reboot system now"

Tried, didn't help. Thanks though. I was trying to avoid a factory reset as it's a hassle to re-setup my phone. My suspicion is a rogue file somewhere that causes the file manager to crash when it loads. But I can't hunt it down yet.
So apparently it's due to this app named "downloads". The app crashes and exits immediately everytime I tried to launch it. Not sure why though.

What is that app???
It's a system app. Don't you have it?

Have this weird problem recently with my Mate 10 Pro. Whenever I clicked on attach files in any apps that uses the native files browser, it will load the file browser for a split second before crashing. Anyone has the same problem or knows the solution? Thanks.

I had the same problem for months.
if you go to "Apps" in settings and show system processes then you should see a small app with a download icon called "Files". Go into that one and delete data. That worked for me.

Me also having same issue. Unable to upload any files using web browser Huawei P30pro. I am able to select the file but after that nothing happens. Tried your suggestion but still doesn't work.
Huawei p30 pro owner here. Hello i have the same issue with the Files app however it only happens when trying to select image from browser or an OCR app i have called easyOCR and specifically for the Screenshots folder. It all started when i transfered all my photos from the Camera folder to PC because storage was almost full and then i deleted them from phone and the problem started to happen (i did the same thing in the past many times to previous phones i owned without any issues at all). I really dont know how to fix it btw i ve left my EMUI to 10.0.123 cause i dont want the camera to lose quality like i have heard it happens with one of the later software updates, and phone was working absolutely perfectly until this thing happened.
