Camera stopped workng but everything else works fine. Has anyone ever experienced this? The phone got wet about a month ago but was dried out and everything seemed to be working fine. Don't take that many pictures. At first I thought an app called hdr camera was bad but today I noticed that the regular camera doesn't work either. Also noticed that when I was trying to write this message the spell checker kept trying to put in "Guevara " and "Siberia "
Bummer. That's about all the help I can give with the info you provided. lol
Thanks for the help. I haven't tried wiping and reinstalling the rom. Its just the old Valhalla gb rom.

LOL. I guess I should have given you time to edit it. Try going to manage apps then force stopping camera. Back out and try the camera again. Is this happening on more than one ROM?
Wipe cache,wipe dalvic,fix permissions.
And or settings/manage applications/all applications/camera...clear data.
Best I can think of

Anyone else having this issue. My camera isnt working no matter what I try. When I hit the camera icon it goes into a black screen and stays there. Only button that works after that point is the home button.
So far I've tried virusrom, bamf, and 2 different sense kernals. I even restored a nandroid I had from March and it still does the same thing.
I dont know what cause this but it just happened one day. I noticed it last saturday when I tried to use it. Anyone know of a fix if any?
I had a similar problem with my front facing camera. I went into applications, selected All, clicked on camera and cleared the cache. It fixed my problem. Hope it works for you.

As a last resort, go back to stock and see if it still happens, if so, it's a hardware problem and you can call up VZW and get them to ship you a replacement.
Should I unroot the phone or just go to a stock Rom.

did you try clearing the camera app data and cache?
I would go to the MR1 OTA. At least then if it doesn't work after that, you don't have to do anything to take it in or send it back.
Clear it. Do it.
have the same problem. i even went back to stock. unrooted the phone. still dont work. verizon will replace it under warranty. just make sure everything is stock.
I have a problem With my Triumph. The camera will not work. I have tried all roms available to no avail. it force closes or says the camera has stopped responding. I am confused by this. Should I just return this?
I would. Especially if it wasn't working with the stock ROM.
That would have been my first step actually, unless you're one of those gurus who actually installed a rom before you tried the camera on stock
Either way though, return it.
I had a similar problem with cm7. It worked at first then it kept crashing. I rebooted my phone then it worked.

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:

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
My camera stopped working randomly, when i try and load the camera it looks like its jsut taking awhile to load, then i get a message saying activity camera (in application camera) is not responding. I'm not sure whats wrong, any ideas?
Which rom are u using on your phone?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using xda premium
just got cyanogen mod 7
Is it a ROM Flash issue?
That is: have you tried re-flashing CM7?
When did you flash CM7 in relation to noticing your camera doesn't work?
Did it ever work since you flashed CM7 or did you just notice it?
Is it an application issue?
That is: have you tried a different camera from the market?
Have you tried installing the camera (included in CM7) again?
Is it a hardware issue?
That is: have you visually inspected the camera? Dropped the phone? Stepped on (or otherwise significantly compress) the phone?
SOME information other than "Hey yo, my camera no worky." would really help out.
Sorry for the lack of description, i think it might just be a hardware issue because i first noticed it stopped working randomly when i had Juicy rom on then i flashed a rom that didnt work and then finally got CM7 and it worked great but the camera issue is still affecting it. I have tried taking pictures on different camera apps and i still get that same error screen. I dont know what other info to provide, i think its just broke thanks for helping!
Happened to me once and kinda scared me a bit lol All I kept getting was a black screen no matter what camera app I used even factory reset didn't fix it. What worked for me was to go completely clean and flash the RUU gingerbread update from AT&T.

Hey guys, I'm a long time lurker first time poster. I've gotten into flashing about 2-3 months ago and a whole new world opened up for me. The ROM I like the most so far is Liquid Smooth RC9 with the gapps from RC8. No issues with the camera or video recording here at all.
I do have an issue with the phone process, though. Every time when my screen is locked and someone calls me they get it to ring a few times before the call ends, while my phone does absolutely nothing. If the screen is on, I do get the incoming call but a message pops up saying that com.android.phone stopped working. I've tried 4 clean flashes so far and they all do this, so I know it wasn't a bad flash. My baseband is the stock UCLF6 and the kernel is 3.0.49 cyannogenmod.
Does anyone know how to fix this? It sucks to have a phone that can't call lol
(P.S. I've searched the forums but I didn't find anything, I apologize if this has been asked before.)
Find out if other people are having the same problem on the same rom/gapps
If they arent your clean flashes arent clean enough
If they are then make sure the dev of the rom knows and wait for an update to fix it or switch roms

I had the problem, too. It was the reason I stopped using RC9. But, my radio was UCLF5.
I came to Liquid from SkyICS I think. Wiped cache and data as well as formatted system a few times before flashing. I didn't follow the developer's instructions to the letter, though. I restored the data on a few of my apps via Titanium. So if you used Titanium, perhaps you might try not using it if you flash again?
Would also love to know if someone has a solution to this. It was a great rom other than that issue.
I had the same problem and went through everything. My solution: settings - apps - go to phone then clear data. Don't worry nothing will be deleted only your call log.

Yeah I actually did use Titanium Backup, which might indeed be the culprit. Now I think about it, the phone was working just fine because I made a phone call to my wife right after flashing, then after getting all my apps back on there it just stopped working. And one of those apps was TB which was also used to restore some other apps.
The clearing of the phone data seems like an excellent idea as well, wish I'd have thought of that.
I ended up ditching Liquid Smooth and flashing a CM10 nightly with the working Google Now. If I go back to Liquid Smooth I'll try the above suggestions and post back here if those work
Thanks for the replies guys.

I also have RC9 with UCLF6 and many times when I answer a call it auto hangs up. My messenger stops working semi-frequently as well. IMO, try clearing the phone data and flash Liquid Smooth, especially if you get bad battery life with CM10 as I did.
