My camera does not start up. goes to a black screen and then back to my home screen.
Any ideas on the cause of this? I am running the leaked gingerbread OTA
It just started doing this been running the leaked OTA for a week with no problems
Don't Thank me.. Thank mzimand
FIX:
1. Go to Settings and select Date & Time.
2. Un check Automatic
3. Change the time to 08-01-11
4. Go and open your camera (it should work now)
5. Now you can go back and check Automatic in the Time & Date Setting
edit:
works
try it again.. it worked for me and a buddy.. you need to to change the date on your phone to august 1st. then try using the camera a couple of times..
once it works, just click it back to automatic for your date and time

Try the date change again. Leave it for five. Open the camera and it should work. I tried my camera and it did not work then tried the camcorder and that worked then back to the camera and that worked. Then set date back to auto.
What causes this? Is it preventable?
I loaded the leaked GB on both mine and a friends phone same time and I am the only on that has gotten the issue, or is it with the phone?
awesome, worked great. had to try it a coupe of times.

This is an issue that came up last night across many custom ROMs and stock GB RUUs. This LINK is a download for a flashable .zip that will fix the problem permanently.
The link provided may be credited to this post, as well as mpwt51 on the Android Central Forums and Snow02 on the BAMF Forums. I will also post a link in my q AND a stickied at the top of the QandA forum.

No. It was affecting any ROM using the gapps with Gtalk video. Some weirdness to do with a file that uses camera mainly, but also tied into Gtalk's video feature. The fix is actually for the camera, but it gets gtalk going again.
HTC timebombed a lib used by the camera and it expired 8/31. It was probably an accident and not malicious in nature. The lib (and several camera libs) were dated back from May. Even the 2.01 alpha had newer camera libs.
As you folks have already noticed, 2.11.605.0 will NOT be the final release version, LOL.
Can any one come up with a permanent fix for the camera, because it seems to reset when the phone is powered on?

This would have explained why Uberbamf wouldn't let me use the camera then. Thx for posting the fix.
Yesterday, my gtalk app stopped working, my camera stopped working, now my phone is going crazy. Im on uber bamf and its just crazy. re-flashing isnt working or anything.
I had this problem after flashing a custom lockring. So I formatted and restored nandriod and still had the same problem. My issue was gtalk instantly fc at startup, didn't even notice the camera didn't work until I read up on this problem. I blamed it on the new cwm update that just hit yesterday because some people were having issues with it too. But apparently that wasn't the case.

I was running MIUI for a couple of weeks with no problem, a couple of days ago the lights on the keyboard and the circular buttons on the phone quit working. I didn't really think much about it, just figured it was a theme I applied just didn't agree with my phone. I tried restoring a nand of MIUI and still no lights. So yesterday I flashed mikshift ROM and still no dice. I'm now running the leak from yesterday and still none of my lights are working. I really don't want to run the ruu and go to sprint unless I absolutely have to.. any ides?

I have had the same problem using several roms. One fix that worked for me was to disable auto-brightness, reboot, enable auto-bright, reboot again with my finger covering the sensor & both keyboard+onscreen lights work again. Try it if you haven't already.

Hey it's not my fault this app adds in a stupid signature ;-)
I can manually remove it but then I have to push more buttons.
CM nightly builds have a lot of issues but Sense roms are a big no-no for privacy reasons. Look at the logs and see for yourself what the damn OS is doing in the background. Sprint & Google don't need to broadcast audio from my phone everytime I take a crap and the cops already get informed when you go over 65mph on the freeway anyways. Have you seen the secret Sprint web app that law enforcement uses on people? I have.

Well it looks like I'm not going to be able to do this until later tonight or tomorrow. Just a question, why is the file size in your link so much smaller than the one in the original thread??
It should be the same file since I've used it before. I will do an MD5 check and reupload if it's a mismatch. Does anyone have the MD5 sum of the original? If so pls post it. Thanks

Again someone please confirm the checksum. Sorry about the broken link.
Well ran the one "zip" back to stock and still no lights.. Not real sure what the issue is. I have noticed over the past 24 hours that the lights on the keyboard will randomly work but it's not consistent. Guess I'll be heading to Sprint at some point.
How i fix the keyboard lights
This is how i fix the lights on my keyboard, the home and and menu buttons those still dont know how. First you go to settings>display>check automatic brightness>go to system update>update profile> turn off screen (on/off button), this is the important part! unlock your cell phone using the keyboard. Dont press on/off button then slide the keyboard for some random reason that doesnt work, just slide the keyboard on landscape mode then the light of the keyboard should work i think. Hope this work for someone else too.

So... I'm really confused now.
Multiple searches, and reading tons of this forum on a daily basis for several months now had led me to the conclusion that the i727 and i727R are identical hardware... how is it possible that this isn't working on Rogers? Could it be something as silly as an environment variable set differently somewhere?
Looking forward to seeing a post that somebody cracks this puzzler soon. As far as I can tell all of the ATT and Rogers ROMS up to now were interchangable...
Have I misunderstood, or are these phones not physically (chipset, hardware...) identical?

They are as identical as two phone with different branding can be. The software is different and that leak is very AT&T specific. So there's something in there that screws up the R. If you take it south and run an AT&T SIM I'll bet it works just fine. The good news is that it is software so someone will find it and make a more generic version. Besides, I'm here to *not* run a stock ROM so I'm staying far away until it settles down and the devs have dived in.

Alright, beautiful. this works on my Rogers i727R. Just I have the home button issue. I'll look over the phone to see what else is working and not working over the next few hours while I'm in class.
Thanks!
Edit:
1) Receiving errors when trying to download apps on the market.
2) Trying to fix the home button. It works on start up on the homescreen, but once an app opens it stops working.
both known issues with fixes. (the main at&t threads talk about his)
Factory reset until home issue goes away
clear data/force stop to download apps.
joshuaauger said:
Here's how I fixed that. I ran dark side super wipe before install then install, run wipe data factory/ reset, wipe dalvik, fix permissions. (Overkill but hey just in case). After, when first boot comes up and the AT&T setup shows, click cancel then next. RIGHT when that's done pull the battery, before any apps install. Start back up and was fine, no home button issue but still no working reboot menu.
Anyways might work for others.

Nice! Does this update the modem & baseband as well? Can you post a screen of your About Phone settings?
I have been here reading about the glitches folks are having with the ICS leak such as shutdown-reboot freeze, freeze on mms deletion, battery consumption and others. I am happy to say that I have not experienced any of these glitches, other than the contacts tab missing from the phone app (and thats is not even technically a glitch). I have been resistant to flashing any of the new CWM Roms because this original oneclick version runs so perfectly for me. Is there anything from my phone that the Devs might want to look at to help narrow the cause of these issues that others are having?
Same, no issues here. This is the first leak that I have had no problems with.
Same here no issues except for shutdown :-(.... Im trying to fix though

First flash I had no home button, second flash (current) my home button is a little laggy, all the other buttons vibrate isntantly but home has a very slight delay, doesnt really affect anything. everything else seems to work, except google wallet for me.
first flash was perfect, i borked it trying to import AOSP pieces haha
second flash was no home button, factory reset fixed that, still have the reboot problem though.
sometimes when i use rynga or viber i loose the incall sound so i have to restart the phone to fix it.. and i use them but then i loose the sound again

Nope, no FC on deleting mms or sms. I will make a screencast video to show the normal operation. I was hoping that maybe some files in my phone would be useful to a dev to get it fixed for others. The only thing I have done to it other than install basic apps is to root and add GO Launcher with ics theme.
Can anyone confirm that tethering (non-AT&T approved) is working with the leak? That's the one thing keeping me from upgrading from the GB from I'm on.

Scott, thanks, lol. I am SO tired tonight. I edited. Now could you edit it from your quote please? Thanks again.
I have done some further reading and noticed the people not getting these problems are the ones such as myself who did no kind of wipe before using Odin and oneclick solution to upgrade from GB to ICS. I did no wipes only because I got ahead of myself accidentally. Maybe this time it paid off for me. Has anyone looked into the possibility that it is the initial wipe process causing the issues that are being presented?

Firstly, I would like to apologize in advance, as I have already asked this question in the 4.2 GAPPS section. re-posting it here since it is device specific (or may be). I am less than 2 hours into the forum so please excuse teething mistakes
I am stuck and need your help. I am running a rooted (of course!) VZW GS3 16 GB. I am on AOKP JB-milestone 1 ROM, Kernel 3.0.48. Android version 4.1.2.
Now I love the new camera and gallery. I have grabbed and flashed multiple versions of the same (android police, droidlife, the whole GAPPS 4.2 package... and multiple more).
In every version I have tried, I have had the same issue.. everything works (video, panaroma, stills during video, photoshpere viewer, gallery effects etc..) however, the most BASIC function, the one of taking still pictures DOES NOT WORK!!!.
The moment I take a still picture, the camera and the gallery crash, and I have to reboot to get them working (as previously) again. I have tried and tried and tried, multiple versions, complete rebuild, everything, no effect. I am at my wit's end, and seek the asistance of your prodigious intellectual faculties to help me put of this jam...
On a side note, I have not yet figured out a way of changing the storage location to external memory card in this new camera.. cant find the setting...
Please help me out friends..

Its a known bug on at least AOSP roms on the galaxy S3 that taking regular pictures without first touching the screen to focus causes the camera to flash. Also i believe using the camera flash causes issues as well. You just need to touch to focus first.

You're welcome just glad i could help you out!
I'm having the exact same problem on the GSIII for AT&T, just to clarify after some guess and check. You have to hit the shutter button immediately after tapping the screen to focus. If you wait till after it achieves focus to hit the shutter button, it'll still lock up. You might want to have a standby camera app in case you want other people to take a photo for you and don't want to explain the bug in your camera app.
Thanks for posting the problem in such detail. Google took me straight here. And cheers for answering so quickly!

THANKS matt6800 - that solution works. Kinda sux though! So is there any fix yet?
Another wrinkle to this:
EDIT: not a new wrinkle! Discovered that my photos were in fact saved at the beginning of my gallery, not lost
adamt19 said:
Another wrinkle to this:
If you take a bunch of pictures using the workaround (touching the screen first) and then forget to do so on the next picture, the gallery app (camera) will freeze AND if you reboot (to regain access to the camera) you will lose all the pictures you took since the last restart.
This burned me badly with a bunch of vacation photos, which I seem to have lost forever due to an incomplete understanding of the consequences of this bug.
So hopefully this prevents others from realizing it before its too late.
Its more than a force-close!

That's a ***** of a bug. I had no clue it was that bad, I stayed away from it when I found out if I forgot to touch the screen I would have to reboot cause I knew I would inevitably forget to touch it. I wish there was a fix for this. It'd be nice to use the new camera.

for those who really want the 4.2 camera, and are VZW, try these two TW ROMs (i know, they are not AOSP, but at the moment, these are the only two with working, unglitchy 4.2 cameras):
rally rom, has working 4.2 camera and other 4.2 gapps. This is a stripped down (432MBs) ROM, quick, and smooth.

SYNERGY ROM: this one also has both cameras and galleries, so you can pick and choose which one works the best for your situation:

SYNERGY was just recently updated and the dev team is really good about answering questions.

Thanks a lot, Matt. that solution also worked for me!!!
I'm so happy that i could revive my camera app now!!
Thank you again!!
Hello all. Often I get lag and camera failed error. It happens mostly when I launch camera from double press off power key, into video mode. The camera is unusable for some time.
*How do I update the camera APK from APK mirror. I always get app not installed when side loading system apps. This issue I had on previous Samsung flagships.
is the app your trying to sideload signed ? are you rooted ? sorrry they seem like obvious questions and i think i remember your name from back in the day on the evo 3d forum ??? so your not new to this, but had to check

Thanks for reply. I mean they are from APK mirror but not sure if signed. I'm not rooted and have no plans to.
Hahaha you got me, I'm an old head lol. Haven't needed to get help often so yeah it's been a while
I would not side load this.
There may be a glitch with using the side key to launch it.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app...
Keep trashware social media apps like WhatsApp, Tic-tok, FB, etc off the phone.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam data and try again.
thought the name seemed familiar, think weve crossed paths several times with various devices over the years, you would need root to sideload it im quite sure, as it would be trying to overwrite the original app

lol, yeah especially with the evo3d it was great but custom roms were not great, i think maybe leedroid and king cobra were about the only stable ones, and remember the zeppelinrox v6 supercharger script , ah memories, those were the days
Go to Device Care and in memory clear the cache apps. Now try the side switch cam thing, after it launches go immediately back to Device Care and see what apps loaded since it was cleared.
It may give a clue to the cause. I've used this technique to track down some nasty little buggers. It's saved me from a factory reset.

You can't clean the "reserved" apps?
I'm using the old banned 360 degrees variant, I firewall block it. Works really good.

Yup that's what I hit. Only camera app shows up. I will try to isolate the problem and see what conditions this behavior occurs.

Do you have the return option still available?
This problem occurs more than you might think. I am extremely annoyed at paying dearly for a smartphone full of annoying problems. I get even more annoyed because Samsung doesn't release software updates to fix this. The last update for my version was released in Feb.
