Hey all,
None of the threads related to my issue helped me very much and the issue is still persistent.
Here's what happened. I flashed a new ROM (from CM11 to Purity). Before I flashed, I wiped System, Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Data. Usually there's no issue when I proceed with this method. I opened up the camera app and it had no front camera option. I tried other third party apps but still no luck.
I've heard that this is a hardware bug... which kind of confuses me since it was working fine while I was on CM11 M5.
If anyone has any experience with this or has dealt with the same issue, please let me know!
Thanks,
-Cobalt-

Why not try flashing something else?
I would flash the latest firmware to completely reset your device. If the front camera is working then you should be able to start flashing ROMs again.

Hi, for CM10, i remeber that was fixed search for camera fix and install it. It will stop that buggy cam
Is there a way to do a hardware analysis?

I have installed several different ROMs, including ICS and JellyBeans, and none work for the camera.

It is a hardware issue, not a software issue. Mine is with HTC right now for the THIRD time for the camera...... Now they want to charge me $145 to fix it. Needless to say, never again will I have an HTC device.
Same Problem
I have the same problem, did a factory reset, fresh install of CM 10.2 but nothing.
Always getting the "can't access camera" error.
I'm thinking it is indeed a hardware issue unfortunately, but if anyone finds a solution I'm happy!

When I bought the Phone the app worked perfect, but since .12 it doesn't work anymore. I reinstalled but nothing works. I can see the menu but When I try to watch something says loading forever. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance

Did you try clearing data and cache of the app?
Sometimes some apps do not work after upgrading the firmware and you've to clear data and cache to make them work again!

Yes, I read other people has same problem after updating but none solution. Thanks anyway.
Still no solution to this problem? I've had this since I got the phone back in November. Updated straight to 4.2, never tried it on 4.1. I can't believe this hasn't been solved yet, with the recent releases and everything. Meanwhile I've just been using this app, it's a bit outdated but at least it does the job.

Hi, recently my front camera has stopped working, with no apparent reason. I have tried clearing the data / cache for the camera so but that hasn't made a difference. I am currently running a rooted, stock rom.
Has anyone got any ideas why this may be happening?
Thanks in advance

Do a data factory reset or reflash the stock image or RMA/Repair Centre. Those are the options, good luck bro
Did you clear data of the gallery app?

I forgot to add, If I restart it starts to work again - so that seems a bit drastic

Try to flash system.img in fastboot again, wipe the caches after that and reboot. Hope that helps.
I'm running CM11, Android version 4.4.4, but have had this problem since installing Cyanogenmod.
Main issues are these:
1) Freezes while processing 50% of the time. Mostly the filter-processed image is already saved in the gallery, and I can see it there after I kill the app
2) Video upload always failed.
3) Whenever I switch apps, Instagram "unfortunately stops". This issue is common with the Camera app as well.
Funnily enough, I had similar problems with Instagram on my previous phone, although it was an HTC.
But I haven't seen any such problems reported on my ROM's development thread.
Can someone at least point in the direction of what could be the issue and where to start troubleshooting?
Go recorvery and try fix permissions, wipe dalvik and wipe cashe options

There is no more "fix permission" option in newer CWM, apparently because it's not necessary anymore. Wiping the cache helps the crashing issue for a while, but videos still can't be uploaded.
Did u wipe data/cashe/dalvik before u flashed cm? If not, that can be problem. And did u come from Stock or other custom rom?
Hello.
Same problem on 3 roms that i tested today
I test pac cm11(current rom) and axxion and all has the same instagram problem , even on dalvnik/art.
I tried uninstall app,clear data,even from data/data.
Dunno what else to do.

Indeed I did wipe everything. Came from stock.
After updating my Nexus to 5.0, the camera worked fine for a couple of weeks. However, starting from a few days ago, when I open my camera app, it won't function at all; instead, all I get is the screen shown in the screenshot.
I'm afraid that's all I can really explain about this problem, as I can't think of any other relevant details.
Thanks in advance.

Of course, I tried it twice.
Guess what though? After reading your post, I decided to try it again just for the sake of it, and it works now...Thanks for the solution haha?

Sometimes I get this annoying message when I try to access the camera, it says " Cannot connect to the camera " so what I usually do is reboot my device and then everything works again aha.
Glad it sorted itself out.
Same problem. Rebooted 4 times. Cleared cache. Still no camera
I have the same issue, tried the following
Reboot
Clear camera data
Reboot
Clear device cache
Reboot in safe mode
Reboot
None of that worked.
Tempted to try a new ROM and go from stock 5.0.0... See if that helps
I'm on stock rooted 5.0 and I have gotten this issue multiple times. Multiple reboots fix it temporarily but I can't figure out what actually triggers the issue.
I rarely use the flashlight pulldown, and haven't at all during the last few reboot cycles that this has still happened.
