[Q] Sensation 4g cam still won't wrk..new cam

Ok i have a tmobile sensation 4g.. last month, my back camera kept crashing after flashing a jb rom...so i restored to viperS rom and camera still won't work. I get a " cant connect to the camera" error. i even flashed back to stock and camera still won't work. even using an app called "Z-DeviceTest" shows a big red x, meaning it not working. But in the app the front camera is working and can even see myself. so i did a reset and then wiped dalvik and cache multiple times. Just now, the new camera i ordered, came in and i installed it; with the same error. Has anyone experience this problem? Do you have any ideas what could be going on. any help would be appreciated..

Either it's hardware other than the camera or you need to run an RUU.

Help! Nexus 5 Camera Broken After Dodgy Mod

After installing Jishnu's Camera Mod, the opposite effect that was intended happened on my n5 and now the camera is almost useless. it won't focus on anything and is basically unusable. I have tried installing new roms, i just installed a Cyanogenmod nightly by flashing the zip through CWM Recovery but it still hasn't fixed the problem. Someone please help me!!! :S

Get in touch with jishnu by PM and ask for an undue zip. Failing that use a root file Explorer to wipe the files and replace with the right ones. It's only software. I'd uninstall the camera and get it from the play store and move it to a system app
Sent by mobile telephone.

@Neardood1
Go to jishnu camera mod thread, in the op there is a restore back to stock camera flashable zip for 4.4 and 4.4.2, download the appropriate zip and flash it through recovery.
The mod is only for stock, cataclysm and purity ROMs.
I would also recommend making/or having a nandroid backup before flashing any mods or changing system apps on your device, in the event that something should go wrong, restore your nandroid backup and your good as new.

that's the first thing I did and it didn't work. I just installed Cyanogen with the PC app and still its useless. I'm running out of ideas here That mod must have changed something deep in the software for it to f*** it up this much

Hmmm. Yeah something's not right.... I would try to contact jishnu and see what he has to say.
Otherwise you might have to flash back the stock image and start over from scratch.

today isnt a good day
updated to franco r37, Jishnu's Camera fc nonstop
flashed the restore zip -> fc
flashed gapps photosphere zips -> fc
very strange
maybe tomorrow it will working again

Are you performing a full wipe before installing another ROM. There is no way this is a software issue if you are doing this correctly because a new ROM would over write the files that caused the camera issue. Either that or now you have a hardware issue.

If you really think it's the app, do a complete restore to stock using fastboot adb and the factory image.

I've been using the camera mod without problems until today.. FC for me too. Nothing changed that I'm aware of. Reflash didn't help.

@OP
Do you have any other camera apps installed and they also don't work ?
For me only Jishnu's Camera has stopped working, the LG Camera Mod, SnapCam, ProCapture etc. are still working like before
i miss the Jishnu's Cam :crying:
regards

He's posted a new update in the camera thread and now mine is working again. Give it a try.

not for me :crying:
wiped dalvik & cache partition, flashed the Jishnu's Cam v1.5 but still fc

well its seems that the play store/service update kills the cam for me
restored a backup, cam works perfect, updated to the 1.5 version, works perfect
after a while lbe security asked me if the playstore/services should be updated -> allowed and baamm cam killed
restored the same backup again and rejected the update for playstore/services and cam still works
rly strange scenario

Yeah now the camera app will just randomly stop working, so will other apps like snapchat; they all say they can't connect to the camera. I'm starting to think its a hardware fault but that doesn't explain why it stopped working as soon as I installed this mod

How was the end of this story?

Firstly, go to/press recent apps button on the on screen button > close the camera app, and then Try to go to settings > apps > swipe right until you find the all apps tab > scroll down until you found the camera app > go to it > press force stop > scroll down, press clear cache > clear data too > restart your phone > open your camera app

I tried it several times but it didn't work. Please help

I have a doubt what if I root my phone and install custom camera rom will it work. Please help

Try reset your phone, perform a repair software (reflash it), or try other camera app.

Go HERE , it's a full tutorial for using flashtool ,So you can go directly to the part of flashing stock ROM or ftf.

I have the same problem it's not ROM problem you have broken camera and in my case i send phone to Sony Centre and they fix it

you should give me more information about the situation

but for now more information please

CM11 >> Camera working
CM13 >> Camera not working
4.2.2 Stock >> Camera not working
I did format /system /cache /data
factory reset
installed CWM, TWRP and CM recovery all same issue.
Only working was CM11 (but usage was too laggy etc.)
What I have to do? some method to make a total wipe...
Phone never dropped, has been always kept in a closed and used only for testing or backup. And again before CM13 camera was making perfect photos.
thanks

This's really strange I never faced that before
but try those methods I think those will show us if it was hardware or software issue:
1_try to change the ftf file you're flashing
2_try this mod here in stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/mod-camera-cyber-shot-superior-auto-t2501740
3_if didn't work in the two previous methods try to reflash the new CM13 builds and Cm11 builds
if didn't work that means it's hardware issue
I hope that works good luck

Samsung J7 SM-J700h Camera problem

Hey guys,
I've been facing a problem with my j7 camera since i bought it i guess. I can't replace the phone though as i bought it from KSA and i'm currently in Egypt
whenever i use the camera the phone restarts, sometimes it says kernel panic upload and sometimes it stuck to the camera and i had to pull off the battery some other times it work when i take off the battery for awhile and i faced a strange problem due to the camera failure: when the phone restarts and i try to draw the pattern it tells me that the pattern is wrong and then i have to take off the battery and put it back sometimes the camera gives me camera failure message and whenever i open it apps start to force close automatically such as android core process , google apps, calendar , camera , contacts . i guess all the apps force close , and a few times the camera app just close without phone restarting or anything else
i tried all possible solutions and nothing seemed to be working
1-cleared camera app cache and data
2-took off the battery and put it back
3-wiped cache and dalvik cache
4-tried other camera apps
5-tried the camera debugging codes from the dialer
6-updated phone to marshmallow
7-stopped all google apps and services and other apps with the disable ability
8-and finally flashed the latest stock firmware available online
the phone ain't rooted , no cwm, and no custom kernels, other than the camera the phone is working great without a single problem
is there anything else i should try? thanks in advance

Try custom Rom

Nope didn't try any custom rom , i don't think flashing a custom rom would fix what the stock firmware didn't manage to

rear camera not usable. everytime open camera app, cause phone to reboot

hi guys, I just experienced last few days where by when i installed other custom rom on my opo, suddenly my stock camera app cant be used. rear camera cant focus properly, and after that the phone will reboot. I tried installing other roms as well as changing back to stock rom (i was on cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 unrooted) but problem still persisted. the phone wont reboot as long as i dont open camera app. it happens to all the roms that i installed so far. even after i used fastboot method to restore back to cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 still the same. open camera app, image cant focus (blur), reboot.
now whatever rom i install, either:
1. can open but rear camera image blur, then phone reboot few seconds later
or
2. camera app cannot open, then phone reboot
or
3. camera app rear camera cannot use. only front camera can use
please help! thanks

But that can't do hardware damage,and your issue seems related to hardware only.You should get your device checked from a professional repair shop.

I never said to get the rear camera module replaced,I said get your device "checked". If the problem were of the rear camera module,you could've replaced it yourself. :/
