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!

restores everything back to stock
if the issue persists then probably it is a hardware issue

Camera problem

Hi people I have been using my Nexus 5 for a month now. Loving it! Going stock with Elemental 26 kernel, dalvik
This happens quite random, not often but it is annoying. Camera stops working.. I start it up.. And it just.. Black.. Waiting until it says "camera stopped“ a restart does help, but I have Sometimes missed some shots because of this.
Anyone that have experienced this and have a permanent solution?

To try in order - step by step if the previous didn't solve the problem:
1. Clear app data
2. Flash the stock kernel
3. Factory reset
4. Clean installation
5. RMA...
I had it on my previous device and it was a hardware bug so :fingers-crossed:

Thanks! Clear app data haven't worked, so will try to flash the stock kernel when I get home. Will get back to this thread if the step doesn't work.
And.. RMA?

Send your phone back to Google for repairs.

I've had this issue once while on CM11. A restart fixed it, leading me to believe it's a ROM/Kernel bug, and also hasn't happened on the latest nightly. OP, try a different kernel version.

I am on stock, maybe it is kernel related.. I don't know. Don't want to blame the kernel just yet. But 26 is the latest. Waiting for an update, maybe try another kernel and see if that help, if the problem occurs again.

Flashable zips of stock kernel are available here. You can also fastboot flash the boot.img file from the factory images.

[Q] Display shaking?

Hi, my display seems to shake, seeming on random. The picture will shake up and down and it makes it impossible to type or do anything until it stops. I don't have any Xposed modules installed and i am running Cataclysm rom with Elemental X kernel. It even does does on the recovery menu and when turning on. Any idea what is causing this and possible fix? Thank you.
I attached a picture of the problem.

I would do a factory reset and wipe the dalvik cache and cache.
Use helium to backup your stuff

Well, if it does it even in recovery and at boot, I would think that it's an hardware issue...

I had the same problem last week. It’s a hardware issue. Kindly visit your nearest service center if possible asap.

Yes i have, thank you. I'm guessing that due to it happening even on stock that like others have said that it is hardware related so i will give Google a call and hopefully sort out a RMA. Thanks for the help!

Wifi unable to reconnect when coming back in range

I have this rather annoying problem with my OPO: When I'm on WiFi and go out of range and get within range of another WiFi (eg leaving from home in the morning and getting on the train where there's also WiFi) my OPO will not connect.
I've tried switching WiFi off and back on, tried forgetting network and connecting again but the network just displays as "Saved". Only thing that works is a reboot. Funny thing is that it actually detects open WiFi's and displays the question mark in the notification bar.
I've read that themes can cause WiFi problems so I haven't changed that. I'm using the Apex launcher with no visual changes.
I've rooted my phone but left the bootloader locked.
Any advice?

I'm rooted with the TWRP custom recovery installed. I had the same thing happen to me. If you toggle airplane mode on/off, it will reconnect. But, as for a solution, my fix was to restore a previous TWRP backup of my phone. I also had heard that the problem could be coming from a theme. What themes have you used? I bought the Flux theme and have been using its style and fonts. I was running the stock CM11s when this happend just a few days after getting my OPO. I would try a factory reset first. If that does not work, there is a thread in the OPO forums about flashing a factory image and getting back to 100% stock.
I have switched to the CM11 nightlies as of a couple of days ago. I will probably refrain from messing around with the theme packs for now.

Will probably unlock the bootloader. Then a factory reset should be taken care of I guess...

I'm now on KTU84P and the problem is still there
Yesterday I failed to flash MAHDI and ended up clearing everything from my phone. I had to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541
to get back to pre-KTU84P (can't remember the build number).
So I guess it's safe to say that my phone has had all sorts of memory cleared. And the problem is still there...

I really hate to hear that you are still having the wifi issue. One would think that if you flashed all partitions with a factory image that it would solve the problem. You might want to have a look at this thread. This guy was unsuccessful in fixing his efs and bluetooth problems until he flashed Color OS and then went back to CM. Have a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-people-corrupt-efs-mobile-data-t2836389
Keep us posted.

Will have a look at the ColorOS thread. But I think I'll give Mahdi another go first to see what that brings me.
Thanks for the link.

Flashed Mahdir ROM yesterday and though the rom works just fine my WiFi reconnect issue has not been resolved
I find flashing yet another rom (ColorOS) sounds a bit drastic. Really no way of debugging what's wrong?

Although is sounds drastic I think it would be worth trying.

kevinga said:

No. I'm waiting for the update to hit my phone and install it to see if that solves it. In the meantime though, I installed an app called Smart WiFi Locker that seems to keep the issue solved (for now)

Thanks for sharing. I think there are two things that can produce a major restore/fix to a phone - a nandroid restore and a major rom update. I hope it fixes yours. The nandroid restore is what saved mine.

Been there. Done that. Read the book. Got the t-shirt.
Flashed ColorOS.
Factory reset.
Booted and got through into ColorOS (skipped account setup).
Booted into recovery.
Factory reset.
Restore backup of CM11S.
No dice :'-(
What are my options now?
A couple of days ago I completely wiped my OPO - radio, modem, everything and flashed a new stock image. Nothing has helped.
I really find it hard to believe this to be a hardware issue.

Just for clarification - after flashing Color OS, did you turn on wifi and use it to see if the problem was still there while in Color OS?

If your WiFi 2.4 or 5GHZ?

Yes. I would recommend you consider doing that. If it works then I would flash a fresh Cm11s rom, not a nandroid backup. Flash the Color OS and do a full check of the Wifi.

I was having the same issue, but here's what I did and it seems to have resolved my issue.
1) Updated firmware on my ASUS AC68 router
2) Boot into recovery mode (volume down+power), wipe cache and media, then factory wipe
3) When setting up phone, did not apply CM theme on the options after logging into CM account.
It seems like WiFi might drop when you get to homescreen, just reboot phone and Wifi should reconnect. Make sure to go into your WiFi settings and remove any networks that was saved, and re-add.
Still not ideal (since it seems like themes might be killing WiFi for some users), so hopefully a new OTA update will solve this problem.

Phone won't stay off

Running stock Lollipop rom with Franco R68. Rooted with CFAR. Since I flashed latest TWRP this afternoon the phone won't shut down. Every time I turn it off it turns back on after a few seconds. Not a major problem but is this happening to anyone else?

Haven't seen it yet but I had it on KitKat randomly. I don't have a clue how to fix it, reboot don't help.

Pretty sure this is an r68 issue, I'm sure franco will fix this soon!

not because of twrp.
the recovery and rom are in two different partitions. most likely its an app causing the issue.
