So, put your device into USB mass storage mode and view/copy them using a laptop/desktop computer?
well ya i know i can do that... its more of an annoyance that i cant view them or play the videos on my phone ya know... i have tried pretty much everything but a hard reset but i dont wanna wipe my phone but i may have to
ok guys i figured out the problem... i kept digging and one of the pics i took in DR got currupted somehow and i found it and deleted it... now its back up and running great like usual... Mods kill the thread if you want to ...
Hello all. I have a Tmobile Samsung Vibrant, and a few weeks ago I went to use the camera and got a camera failed message. I rebooted and it was fine, for a day then got the message again. I ended up buying a replacement camera, installed it. Camera worked for a few days then I got that message again. Someone in the vibrant section suggested using odin and flashing to stock. reluctantly I did, and my camera worked fine, for a few days. Then, you guessed it I got the camera fail message. Does anyone know of anything I could try? Is there something else in the phone that could be causing this? Sorry for the long post. Thanks Gregg
might be a hardware problem...
OK. Any idea if or anything I could replace?
bumptiy bump for some help.
Just got this phone a few weeks ago. Running all stock latest software and my camera consistently fails to start up and just goes to a "camera failed" error message. Most of the time if I clear data it loads but I think I have a faulty phone. I even did a factory wipe and the problem persisted. Anyone else have this problem with the skyrocket? If I cant fix this on my own soon ill have at&t send me a new one.
Thanks
get a new one. haven't heard of this issue before.
In one of the other threads about this it took formatting the sd cards
This has happened to me on a few Roms
In those cases I had to do a full wipe and reflash

Did you solve the problem? Just got one myself and have encountered the same issue. Looking for reliable solutions...or confirmation that I need to have it replaced. Thanks.
It happened to me about a week ago. What I did to solve it was to go into settings/applications/manage apps then look for the camera apk and clear data/force stop. After that it went back to normal.

I tried that but it didn't work. Replaced it and all is well. Thanks.

It happen to me to when I first tried using the camera. So I sent it back. Got a new one. Must be a bad batch going around.

Definitely go back for a replacement if wiping SD card, stopping and wiping Camera data and resetting to factory setting doesn't work. I neglected to check the Camera when I picked up mine from Roger, first time using it thought root and CWM messed it up, so I flashed Bonestocketeer, managed to get it working for about 5 minutes with all of the above then failed again.

I tried this on a buddys SkyRocket and it worked.
I pulled the camera.apk from a T989 ROM and pushed it to the skyrocket. So far, it has worked flawlessly.
Hope it helps
My phone's camera worked fine out of the box. Just noticed I'm having this problem also.
I installed / backed up with CWM and rooted my phone using this method:

Froze most of the AT&T bloatware with Titanium using suggestions here:

Somewhere between these two steps may be the culprit?
Besides being rooted, I'm running stock Android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.11, UCLA3 ROM. Luckily, I've only had the phone for about 10 days so I'll just have to swap for a new one if it persists after restoring and a factory reset..
Edit: Still not working after factory reset.
I started getting the error when I took the 2.3.6 OTA. It began with failures to save pics to my external SD card, then later the error popup. Clearing camera data and reformatting my external card helped a little but the problem grew back. Finally, launching the camera app always got the error.
Swapping the phone didn't help. In my case the problem followed the SD card. When I read that other apps accessing the camera might aggravate the problem, I disabled video calling in skype.
I got a new SD and the problem hasn't repeated.

Tried removing my SD card, to no avail.
After looking at how relatively cheap I can find this exact phone, unlocked, online, I now realize I made a huge mistake by going to a retailer. I paid $649.99 before taxes for the S2 Skyrocket a week ago at Best Buy Mobile, as I was replacing my recently destroyed LG Thrill, which had no insurance and was out-of-warranty.
Does anyone know if it'd be possible to just get a full refund for this device from Best Buy Mobile, and use another (much cheaper) unlocked S2 Skyrocket on AT&T's network?
Old thread. Moved to Q&A
I can see the preview fine on the screen. When I take a picture, the camera goes through all the motions of taking a picture but the saved picture is blank gray.
Happens on stock as well as AOSP ROMs, and stock as well as third party camera apps.
Factory reset does not help
Formatting internal SD did not help either
Front camera works fine. I believe both the SD cards are in good condition. (i.e. they mount, I can read all the files, transfer via USB etc.)
is this a hardware issue?
Any help is appreciated.
Sure sounds like hardware and not software.

Which ROM are you using now? Have you tried clearing the cache and data for your Gallery app? I'm guessing it's not a hardware issue since you're able to use your screen as a viewfinder. It's also possible they're just loading slowly; I transferred some high-resolution photos to my SD Card and they showed up as grey screens for a solid minute until the phone had a chance to load them.
EDIT: If you ODIN back to stock and still have the issue you could try contacting Samsung for a replacement.

I dunno. I've heard they're pretty good about replacing phones with bad hardware. I had decent luck getting my phone replaced a few months ago by going through AT&T (I don't recall whether or not I was still under warranty). If you complain enough to AT&T they might just give you an early upgrade (something they offered me, but I'd rather run out my contract).
wtf.. in cm the panorama mode works with the back camera but still shot and video dont.. now i doubt if it is a hardware issue.
