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.

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.

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.
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

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.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341558
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'm on my 4th VZW SGS3 (stock ROM, not rooted) because of this camera problem, and it's happened again. When trying to take a photo with flash, the phone would apparently shut off. It can only be started after pulling the battery. On my previous VZW SGS3, I found that the problem occurred on a new phone after installing a 3rd party camera. A factory rest did not fix the problem.
Today I wanted to take a panoramic photo do installed a camera app made for that. Then I remembered the 3rd party camera issue I had before and discovered that it occurred again. I'm reluctant to have to return another phone, and hoping someone might know what's going on do I can fix this one. I was told by the insurance company that it's not a known issue (my first phone got a chipped screen, which seemed like a possible cause for the flash apparently causing a hardware failure), but that is weird since I can reproduce it so easily. Does anyone know what might be going on with this, and whether it can be fixed?
It's hard to believe that installing any 3rd party camera app on a non-rooted phone would permanently damage it.

Since you are stock the only thing you can do is Odin stock factory image and see if it fixes it. Also the stock camera does panorama.

I might try that. Thank you. I hadn't realized that this would be more complete than a factory reset via settings.
It seems strange that I've had this occur on four of these devices but couldn't find any mention online. Apparently this phone can't install third party camera apps without corrupting the camera flash function. I wonder if there is a way to fix that so any camera app can be run.

Hi,
New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:
Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.
However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.
Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.
I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.
Thank you.
Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:
Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2
1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.
If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.
Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.
I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.
My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.
I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.
I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.
I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.

Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.

I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.

Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.

Hello,
I'm having trouble with the camera of my TF700. When i try to open the camera, the camera still show up but with the black screen. After waiting for a while, it got frozen and i got a message "Gallery isn't responding. Do you want to close it". When i close it and reopen it, it shows the message "Camera error: Can't connect to the camera"
My gallery is still working fine. I still can be able to access to the picture on my SD card.
My Infinity is rooted and ROM CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.5
I did the factory reset, cold boot, wipe cache, fix permission. None is working.
I installed Skype to see whether the video is working. It's NOT. I tried 3rd party camera apps. They dont work either.
I'm lost and do not know how to fix this problem. If anybody knows any method that i can try out to fix this, i would really appreciate it

Did your camera work before rooting and/or installing CROMIX? Did it ever work on CROMIX? If its not the ROM it sounds like broken camera hardware. If so you'll have to send it back to Asus for repair. Unfortunately you are unlocked and have voided your warranty hence the only reason I'm still locked for the warranty period.

Sounds like you need to do a full wipe. If it ever worked doing a factory reset then its not a hardware problem its a software problem. But you said "it worked once". I assume you mean that it opened and took some pictures, but only once or did it work for awhile? Are you saying when you opened it a second time like that same day and every time after that it never worked again? If that's the case it still sounds like a hardware failure but possibly something else corrupted your camera software shortly after your factory reset. I would do a nandroid backup (Online Nandroid Backup rocks) then a full wipe then a nandroid restore. I would suggest you also get some other inputs on this problem as I am far from an expert and don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

How do u do a full wipe. I used CWM to wipe but it doesnt go away. Im suspecting its the hardware problem however there is no way for me to be sure.

If you already wiped from recovery then that's the one. And you did a factory reset. And the problem occurred before you rooted and on the same day it once worked. I'd say its hardware. But it could be anything from a bad controller chip to a bad shutter motor to a loose or bad ribbon cable. You'd have to trouble shoot the all aspects of the camera hardware platform to fix the problem. You could take it apart to see if you saw something obvious like a loose ribbon, but its not as easy as just swapping out the camera itself.
Asus does non warranty repairs, they are just costly. You certainly can send it back to Asus. That's what I would recommend.

I sort of figure out my problem but still have no cure for it. I downgrade it back to ICS and the camera once again works for a bit and when i tried to open and use it again in the same day, it said the firmware need to be updated. However, asus firmware update failed. I cannot update the camera firmware. I went through the upgrade again to lastest jellybean from asus website. It still shows that the camera firmware need to be updated.
I notice that during the time i flash back and forth, the camera firmware did not change at all. It shows TF700T-FFFFFFF. I think it's the camera firmware problem
However, i could not find a way to update the firmware manually. Any thought on this one?
Thanks
