Hi there!
I have tried like 15 oreo roms and I always end up with my camera app crashing or freezing entire phone.
I don't use camera ports, just stock apps. It works fine at the beginning but after a day or so it starts to crash and freeze.
Did anybody have similar problems? What can be causing this kind of behavior? Do I need to upgrade anything (firmware maybe?) to run oreo without problems?
Same thing for me, i even had a problem that my photos were not saved, but I tried using Camera MX today, works ok without crashing and freezing for now.
Same problem here. Really frustrating.

Hi Folks,
I've had my Galaxy SII (i9100M - Canadian version, Virgin Mobile) for a while now.
I've had it rooted for the last 8 months, and about 3 months ago I started running the ICS betas. The camera all of this time has been working fine.
I was testing Simplistic rom (basically from the first release up until RC8 or whatever the last one was) and sometime in between that process my camera stopped working. I've since flashed CM9 using Odin several times, and still nothing. Recently I tried to flash back to one of Samsung's releases of ICS and still nothing.
Whenever I launch the camera I get a black screen with the camera controls. It just hangs if I try to take a pic.
I've searched around here and haven't found an answer -- any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
two things you can maybe try,
have you tried clearing the app data on your camera?
also, have you tried a third party camera app like camera360?
it sounds like this is a problem with your hardware camera and not the app itself though so i am not sure if either of these approaches will work
Guys, I found a solution.
I flashed back to Gingerbread and used the Samsung Camera Update app that is on another thread in this forum. It updated the firmware and the camera started working.
The Camera Update app does not work on ICS... so it was a long and painful process, but worth it.
I reflashed CM9 after and the camera is still working. Odd! Just in case anyone else has this problem... here is a potential solution.

I can't post in the dev thread yet, but has anyone else had a problem with the camera function on this ROM? The camera has worked perfectly fine for about 3-4 weeks and all of a sudden it crashes every time I try to use the camera. Apps such as Instagram and Facebook also crash when trying to use the camera function also. Anyone encountered this problem? I would just reinstall the ROM again, but I don't want to lose apps, etc.

If anyone was wondering, I'm talking about the camera, not the camcorder. The camcorder/video doesn't work on this ROM, but the camera worked fine up until now. Any fixes?
Hi All,
Long time reader of the forum, finally registered an account.
I'm having an issue wherein the camera freezes and crashes while taking video in apps. Video works fine while recording using the camera app. I've noticed this while using the messaging app and vine. In vine the video starts recording for about .5 seconds before crashing.
I am rooted and using AOKP JB rom (latest). I would have posted in that forum but I'm not allowed since it's a new account (you guys are serious here). I've searched that forum, found a few related posts but no resolution. I have fully wiped, I have cleared app data. I think its a problem with a ROM or Kernel itself. Actually seems like a buffer issue since the video records briefly before crashing but who knows.
If anyone has had a similar issue maybe with another ROM let me know. thanks.
No one else has had this problem??
If there was another topic let me know, I've searched heavily but maybe I've missed it.
I'm just trying to determine if this is hardware or software (or kernel/ROM).
Can anyone confirm that they are NOT having this issue and let me know what software you're running?
Thanks.
The most reliable test of whether your problem is hardware or firmware related is to flash back to stock and try the video in the stock camera. You can make a nandroid backup and restore it afterwards to get back to where you are now.
On the stock GB ROM the camera works in SMS but malfunctions in some apps.
I just flashed the official JB ROM from samsung and everything works perfectly, so definitely software.
same issue here, for vine, snapchat, instagram.
Similar issue here, with a Samsung Galaxy 2 (SGH-T989D) running JB 4.1.2 with the official JB update, rooted.
Camera will work for 20-30 seconds and then the in-app video preview will freeze and the only way to get the camera to work again is to reboot. There is no zombie Camera process to kill. Fixing permissions doesn't help. Doesn't matter which app tries to access the camera, they all fail.
I've tried the diagnostics test (*#0*#) and have been able to determine that it's only the rear facing camera that fails, the front facing camera always works fine.
I tried various camera firmware versions (using the "Camera Firmware Standard" screen, *#34971539#), currently running version SEEH05. Other versions either didn't work at all or would perform equally poorly.
I thought it might be an SD card problem,
But after removing the external SD card, the camera performed even worse (crashed even faster).
On the other hand the phone is still under warranty from Telus, so I'm considering flashing back the unrooted ROM and returning it for repairs, unless someone can suggest something else to try.
Running PAC ROM (22.0 i think) from the ported development section and have the same issue with the rear camera but the front camera seems to work OK most of the time for Snapchat and such. A while back I tried one of the separate 4.2.2 camera APK's that's floating on this site and had the same issue still.
Has anyone tried the new leaked 4.3 camera to see if that works better/worse?
Not sure if this would work or not, but you could probably try.
Clear out all current videos and pictures on internal sd card(of course after taking backup), wipe/reset and then do a fresh rom install.
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

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.
For context, I'm running lineage (19-20220824-NIGHTLY-dre) and this issue happens on every single camera app I've tried.
If I record a video let's say like a 2 second recording and then go to open that video the clip suddenly is an hour long with basically the entire hour being a single frame and the last 2 seconds being the 2 seconds I recorded. What's even weirder is the audio from the video plays during the first two seconds and then doesn't for the remaining time. Overall really weird and frustrating and I've spent hours trying to figure out what would cause this to no avail. Additional most gallery apps won't even open the videos recording and no pc can open them either. Any ideas?
Have you tried update Lineage? It's most recent update is 9/21 it looks like your about 4 updates behind. Not sure if it'll fix your issue though as I did not use camera while using Lineage and have since gone back to stock due to a display bug.
Edit: If you do want to update it SHOULD be fairly simple. You just go to settings>system>update and it should pull whatever the newest update it and install in the background. Note that even though it shouldn't cause any errors, there's always the chance it will so just be aware and ready.

Ah ok, sorry that's all I got. You could always submit a bug report on the Lineage gitlabs and hopefully someone gets to it.
This is why I stick to US OEM Stock rom.
I can de-bloat it and EVERYTHING works.

You got a debloat list or something you follow? I could go for that see if smooths stock a little when playing pokemon go.
I have the latest LIneage, with the same problem, and am completely lost with what it could be. Recording videos in Snapchat works normally, but the stock camera, GCAM, and the GrapheneOS camera all have this issue, probably because they all use the Camera2 API.
I encountered this problem today but the uploads on Google photos came out correct (when I 'free up space' )
I am having this issue as well, just checking to see if anybody might have discovered anything
