Hi

I did an hard reset with wipe and everything has been OK for a day.... This morning again the same issue and I didn't install any other camera app
Any idea?

It seems that i /m facing the same problem here. I'm running the AEROM v5 and out of the sudden the camera stopped working, the flash as well. Every camera app that i used only opens the front camera and i cant even use the LED light as a torch. I contacted the seller and suggested a factory reset , i did it with no success. i think that it might be a "missing driver". I do not know a lot apart from flashing roms, recovery etc. Trying to work it through.
Did you try to open the cover and check if the camera is connected properly at the board?
Sounds like hardware.. Any other experiencing this?

It is a hardware matter , at least for me

Since I updated OTA to 2.3.6 build 4.5.141, I have been experiencing a problem with the camera as it shows a black screen (both still and video) and crashes after that.
I am willing to root the phone and install flash a ROM if that could be helpful. I tried a factory reset, SD format/unmount, battery pull, reboot, and everything possible with an unrooted device.
Warranty period is over so I can't ask for a replacement.
Any help is appreciated.
Camera
I had similar problems with upgrading to ICS Roms.
I fixed the problems with installation of Videocam Illusion and ProCapture or FastBurst Camera. I don't know if it is suitable for your Rom.
The only problem I see now with these apps is that I can't open, let say, ProCapture or FastBurst and after any camera or camcorder apps. The only to get these apps to work is to reboot.
Not working
Thanks for your feedback.
But I tried installing all those apps but they all give the same problem (black screen, which later freezes). I tried changing the resolution of the camera and then the camera app did not open at all saying: camera unable to initialize.
Occasionally, it shows a large camera icon in front of the screen and then it just closes down saying 'Activity Camera (in application Camera) not responding.
I do still think it is a software (not a hardware) problem because the phone has not been exposed to any physical damage whatsoever and everything else works smoothly on it.
I am already considering getting a replacement camera but thought I'd exhaust all other options before doing so as it does take a while to get a replacement. Luckily, it is under warranty.
Thanks again.
Id you're looking for a good stock based rom id try nottachrix. I've been on it roughly 2 months no issues

Hi
Can anyone else run the stock Camera app after the Jellybean update?
There's a yellow box around the shutter and when I go to take a photo the application crashes.
Other camera apps work fine!

I've been using it, and it works fine with me. Do you have any apps that may affect the camera? And was it working fine with ICS?
No extra apps, yes it did work in ICS.
I'm hoping someone with a working camera in JB can dump the firmware for me

I updated Insert Coin Rom to 3.0 and my camera hasnt worked since. updated tuesday, and only went to use my camera yesterday and discovered it freezes on opening. flashlight toggle in my notifications bar also causes system UI to crash.
switched to Anonorom this morning, factory reset, restored apps + data from Titanium Pro, same thing. camera and flashlight both crash my system UI.
which sucks cause previous IC rom was great.
any help would be awesome. otherwise i guess i'm either flashing rom's or doing a full factory reset and restoring manually i guess..

First step is always factory reset .
Followed by flash stock firmware .

Also started having this issue last week, more than a month since I got my 4.1.2 OTA from T-mobile.
From what I experienced, both incidents when I was out, were in low light, and after I enabled low light mode within the camera controls.
There would be a freeze, then app crash returning to the homescreen.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this, and I'd really like to know what is causing it.
I have a feeling it is a setting in the touchwiz camera... because other camera apps (vignette, eyeem) launch the camera fine and without issue.

I started getting the freeze issue a few weeks back. I removed the SD card and tried the phone without it and it was fine again. Wiped the SD card and put it back in and all is working again. Hope this helps some of you.
Hello everybody I am new here and before posting this question I have read similar posts searching for my answer but none of them regarded my specific problem:
I just got a Star N7189 with android 4.2.1 and the first thing I did, because it was a used phone that my dad gave me, was to perform a factory reset.
My dad told me the phone was fine except the camera didn't worked, so I thought the factory reset could also help to fix this.
After the reset everything in the phone is fine and running without any problem except the camera. In first place there isn't even a camera icon or app, the only way I can access the camera is by sliding the screen after I press the lock/unlock button, and after a second of thinking it gives me the 'can't connect to camera' error.
I haven't installed any application or anything.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
just install another camera app

I've tried several other camera apps and all give me errors. All other apps run fine but apps that need to connect to the camera just fail and shut down lol maybe the phone doesn't have a camera at all and the lens in the back is just to pretend
Hi viewers, i recently got myself the C5 ULTRA E5553 and i'm loving this device especially of course the camera.
The stock camera works fine but once i install SNAPCHAT and start recording a video, the whole snapchat recording hangs and the screen turns black and gets stuck. Once i exit through the home button and clear the app, i open the stock camera app and it shows me "error, camera not available'. and then stock camera app and snapchat camera will not allow me to access the camera as seen on the images attached. Even diagnostics can't access the camera.
I have tried clearing data and force stop on the stock camera app but to no avail. I can only REBOOT the phone and both cameras will work again until i start recording front/back camera on snapchat and everything repeats.
I EVEN TRIED factory reset and i immediately installed snapchat as the first app.... as long as i try to record on snapchat, the camera will just freeze and crash.
I am from Singapore with the 5.0 lollipop. PLS HELP ME i want to be able to use snapchat on this phone

Thanks for the reply guys!!! I tried the link but like i said... i even start with a newly reset phone and install snapchat first... still having problems when recording
Have you tried updating to Lollipop 5.1? I've only recently started Snapchatting, but I have no issues, and I'm running Lollipop 5.1
If you don't receive OTA update notification then try to update through PC Companion or Sony Bridge for Mac

I tried the link but it didn't work, i have 6.93Gb of free space on my phone. It just came back from the repair store he has been restet but snapchat didn't work If you have any other sonlution, i will be gratefull
But somtimes it work one or two times before not when i restart my phone...
Easy solution
Had the same problem, got really frustrated as I tried every possible solution I know of with no avail what so ever.
Seems like a software problem with Snapchat explicitly, since camera app works just fine away from it. All you got to do is update to the latest version, which is 5.1.
Update might be a little bit big but its totally worth it as you can actually feel the better performance and battery life, and ofcourse fixing your Snapchat problem.
Hi, I encountered this after upgrading to 6.0. Service center replaced the camera but no luck, so they replaced the mainboard. Luckily, it was still under warranty.
Hello,
I recently got a mi a3.
Today the stock camera ''keeps stopping'' , I can still use open camera and Google camera redmi note 7 port by BSG. I installed the last update with 5 July security patch yesterday maybe it's linked.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
Does anyone know if we can use the wide angle camera with an other app ?
I don't have that kind of issues on latest security updates...stock camera work fine here...try clearing stock camera data and cache first...

I already tried that :/ Even with safe reboot it doesn't work.
I'm going to factory reset.
I'm having the same issue. Also, the camera is very laggy, whenever I click a photo the camera takes 1 or 2 seconds to respond.

Yaaaaay It worked perfectly. Tnxxxxx
Just open settings -> search "Usage access" -> tap on the result -> choose "usage access" from list -> allow camera. DONE
(It's suspicious why camera needs usage access tho!!!!)
