My phone updated the Camera app yesterday and right after the back camera stopped working. The front camera works, but as soon as I try to switch to the back camera it gives me the Can't connect to camera message. I tried rolling back the update and trying again, and it still wont work. Any tips?
Wipe data on the app?

Same problem...it doesn't even give me a back camera option.
This is what usually happens when the camera module goes faulty.
This is what I'd do (in order)
1) factory reset
2) flash factory images
3) RMA
If you're not comfortable with 2, don't do it. Skip to 3

Same thing.
Tried installing cyanogenmog. Nothing changes. Could the problem be with the physical connection?

Yes it could which is why you should follow my steps. I didn't advise them for no reason

Steps 1 and 2 didn't work.
I don't know how to execute step 3, since I live in Croatia (bought the phone from the Google Play Store in California) and there is no support here.
Any other tips?

Are you sure you did step 2? Because your mentioned Cyanogen after I gave the 3 steps, which isn't a factory image.
If you've flashed the factory images as per this location:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
And you still have the issue, it needs to be repaired. I can't tell you how that is done in Croatia

Uninstall the update and see if the problem persists.

That is the location I downloaded the stock image rom and ran the process. Looks like I'll have to figure out how to get it to Goolge.
Thanks so much for the help!

Hello all,
So far loving the N5.
I need some help. I seem to have lost my HDR+ setting in the Camera. I did have it and now it is missing.
So far I have rooted my device and changed the compiler to ANT. Would any of those remove it? Maybe I'm being stupid and changed a setting in the camera, but I have tried everything. I know when using flash it was greyed out but now its completely gone.
Any one else lost it?
Be easy on me its my first Nexus and been searching for the last hour on XDA
I'm running ART and still have access to HDR+ so i don't think it's that.
Thanks for the reply DirkGently Are you rooted? I'm going to reset my phone in a moment to see if that fixes it.

I have HDR+ using the new runtime ART and rooted so I can only think that it could be either down a software issue or hardware issue if a reset doesn't fix it then I would return your phone to where you bought it and get another

try clearing the cache maybe?(cache may take a long time to clear)
if that doesn't work, i can pull my Googlecamera.apk and upload it
If you are rooted, try going here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516061
There is a modded camera zip and a stock camera zip. Maybe try flashing the latter to see if it helps.
So far i have cleared all data from gallery and camera. Now I just reset my phone and no luck if someone could upload the camera apk I could try that.
Is there a way to disable it?

Thanks to everyone that helped out.
I found the culprit. I changed my build prop to be a Galaxy Note 3 so I could run Polaris Office.
I have changed it all back and after a camera data wipe it all returned.
So if any of you want to change the device name for any reason, it will disable the HDR+ mode.

As the title states my Google search is no longer working after the new update. The only way I can get it to work it to clear cache, data, and uninstall updates which will then revert the app to factory form. After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

Same here. Reverted to the previous version and waiting for the update with correction (hopefully),
I just did a phone reset hoping it would solve the issuebut nothing. Google just released a new update and still same problem.

Indeed, the release of 11/21 is no good either.
I have been looking all over the net and can't seem to find any info on this, Google hasn't even acknowledged there is something wrong. Maybe this is only affecting a very small number number of people.

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)
We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

After flashing the JB 4.1.2 Indonesian firmware, my Google search has stopped working. No matter what I do it always crashes.
I don't have option to uninstall updates from app manager. Does any of u guys have an older version of Google search? Would be really glad if u can post it for me.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:
http://sdrv.ms/18hoDxb
Let me know if any problems.
Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.

Oops. Too bad, that is the oldest one I have, and it works fine in my case.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

You also seem to have a test build of key lime pie. This is definitely strange.

Looks like a pre-launch device.

@Neurotica i got it from one of the wireless stores around my area he was selling them for cheap so i took a bite on it but any methods of trying to root it or getting my pc to read it is not working any suggestions?
@MakoVince is there somthing i could do with it as far as rooting it and changing the ROM? im new to Android devices so im not sure what to do with this phone
I'd suggest that you try to update your device while it is still stock. Sideload the updates until you read KitKat.

0. Unlock the bootloader
1. Install CWM or TWRP via fastboot
2. Back up the pre-release software and save it on your computer
3. Install 4.4.2 factory image via fastboot to 'fix' your device
4. Share the backup you made, because it's interesting

Do what rusty said, you dont even know how lucky you are . We missed an oppurtinity to get a an early prerelease system once. I hope we don't lose the chance again.

It's not so much a fix as it is troubleshooting.
The first thing to try if something is broken after an upgrade is to factory reset the data. That could rule out an OS issue. Of course you must backup apparatus wtc first (unrooted users use helium) then copy sdcard data to PC.
