[Q] Camera (Camcorder) not working - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now I'm using stock 2.3.4 + Netachy 1.3.4
When I open Camera app, taking still photo is working as it should. But when I switch to Camcorder to record video, screen goes blank if I touch the screen couple times it will show "Sorry! Activity Camcorder (in application Camera) is not responding."
I've searched the forum and tried everything mention
- Force Stop Camera > Clear Data
- Factory Reset
- flash Stock 2.3.1
- tried to adb push CameraGoogle.apk (d/l from somewhere can't remember) to system/app
the problem still exists!
Any suggestion please?
FYI : I've tried market app called 'Quick Video' and it can record video! so I'm pretty sure that my camera hardware is not faulty.

Finally! I get camcorder working again!
I don't know if this is what solve the problem but what I do is
- install third party camera app (lgCamera) and use it to record video
- then close it and open stock camera app and switch to camcorder
- app freeze and make my Nexus S reboot
- after reboot my camcorder is working again!

[Q] Camcorder issues - need suggestions to narrow down issue

Ok so recently ive been having issues with my MTS4G (it used to work fine so i dont believe its a rom issue) - but i am running KK DS1.2 - which is awesome. I still miss the original sense based camera and as such have set out on a missin to find the best camera app--- hence i have the stock KK camera (i.e. camera) as well as following apps installed:
1) Ucam
2) Focal
3) camera zoom
4) procapture
5) camera KK
Again dont think its the rom , but for 2 weeks now (ive had rom for say several months now) , but when i switch to camcorder (stock KK camera app) mode and preess record all i see is a "halo" around the record button, at which time the video being displayed on phone (which is supposed to be recording) freezes for a second, then resumes as if it were recording. but i see no recording notice, or any timer indicating its recording and the default app (on a good day) makes 0 (zero) byte mp4 files. Not sure where to start i see that KK DS 1.3 is out, but was hoping to figure out what might be the cause of the issue.
I do see that when i press the record , the LED fires up as it used to , but it just doesn't seem to record anything.
Perhaps i have too many camera apps (was trying to compare and find best one) - but my camera with all the apps works great, but after several months of using the camcorder (in ANY app) i cant get it to work at all --- the led light comes on, but it doesn't seem to record anything.
suggestions?

Unfortunately Camera has stopped (4.2.2., stock)

EDIT: Well, I fixed it. I used Jishnu's Camera mod "return to stock" zip and it fixed things thankfully.
Thanks

When attempting to use the standard camera app on my Nexus, I get this error. I've had a Nexus 5 since launch and had NO issues whatsoever with the camera until recently. No matter what I try to do, the camera app doesn't load. Not from the lockscreen, not from the app, etc.
What's odd is that I CAN use apps like camera zoom fx or the built in snapshot feature in the facebook app for example, and the camera works then. I can also use hangouts and I've verified the front facing camera works. Oddly though, using the camera within the Google+ app crashes the camera too.
I've tried clearing cache, dalvik cache, force stop camera, disabling and re-enabling and no dice. A friend of mine postulated that it could be the HDR mode messing up. I DID have HDR active the last time the camera worked. But with no way of resetting the application/toggling the HDR switch (because the camera won't load to that point), I'm SOL.
Here is a screen cap video I took demonstrating the issue. Don't mind the artifacting at the start of the video, I'm not sure what caused that.
My current phone build is in my sig, except I'm running the most up to date Franco Kernel (iirc r37).

Camera Issues

I have the Verizon Pixel 3, and ever since I updated to the November 5 version I have had nothing but trouble with my camera. The native camera app works great, but if I attempt to use any other app on the device that accesses the camera, I get nothing but a black screen. Apps I have on my device that I've tested include
- Messenger
- Snapchat
- Ibotta
- QR Scanner
Once one of the apps attempt to use the camera, the native camera app only gives me a black screen until I restart the device. Once restarted, the native app will work until another app attempts to use the camera, and then it's right back to the black screen.
Has anybody else had this issue yet? I ran across another post where a different user had the same issue, and they had reset their device a couple of times to no resolution.
On latest (nov 5th update) on pixel 3. Camera works fine in Textra for me.... you shouldn't need QR Scanner anymore with the google camera, just hit the lens button, or enable lens all the time in camera settings.
I'm now having this same issue as of a few hours ago. Nothing changed as far as I can tell but any app other than the default camera app trying to access the camera locks the entire thing up.

Camera Problem (fixed!)

My flex 2 was on 5.1.1. I was trying to use it with "Open Camera Remote" (a wifi triggered camera app) and would get an error where the app couldn't connect to the camera. But if I ran the native camera app first, Open Camera would work.
So I upgraded to 6.0.1
With 6.0.1 the camera would take a while to load with the native app, then it stopped working at all. Just a black screen.
Did a factory reset but it didn't help.
What seemed to fix it was removing all the permissions from the native camera app, then running the camera app (without permissions) and re-enabling the permissions as prompted.
Now both the native camera app and Open Camera (Remote) load quickly and are responsive.
I can't explain why this worked but maybe it will help someone.

CAMERA Becomes Unresponsive(black screen camera)

Camera stops working and apps using camera like Snapchat just shows an error. Flashlight is greyed out in quick settings as well. Went through this 3-4 times, rebooting the phone solves it temporarily.
