So my nexus 5's camera stopped working with the error "cannot connect to camera" It's stock unlocked running android 5.0. I tried rolling back to 5.0 from 5.0.1 to try and solve this problem and it didn't work. I've tried other apps and nothing can seem to connect to the camera. The phone was not dropped recently so I can't imagine what it could be. Any thoughts?
Much appreciated!
Did u tried resetting via factory image?

But beware of the script's settings. Internal memory gets deleted too if you don't edit the batchfile and remove -w
Code:
fastboot [COLOR="Red"]-w[/COLOR] update image-hammerhead-lmy47i.zip
If that doesn't help, its a hardware fault.
Don't know if this has been solved or not, but just recently bought a brand new N5 for the wife, unlocked it, and put a MM custom rom on it. Everything works great except for the camera giving this "can't connect" error. A reboot will temporarily fix it, but I was searching this forum to see if anyone had ever found a permanent fix. Most of the searches have mentioned unchecking Trusted Face, but the rom I'm running doesn't seem to have that. Not sure what else to try at this point. Has anyone else found a better solution yet?

I have a problem with my desire HD, it won't let me search for wireless networks. I tried everything, so now i am turning to you guys! Hope you can help me!
Here is my problem:
When i turn on my wifi i get a message "Unable to search for networks".
Here is what i have tried:
- I tried searching your site for information, and what i found is a thread saying to rename a file. But since i am running stock and do not want to root my phone (company phone), this is not possible for me.
- I have tried restoring factory defaults, without any luck
- I have written HTC support but have not heard from them
What i want to do:
I want a way to format my phone and reinstall the stock version of android on the phone. Just like you do with windows. Is this even possible? I can't seem to find anywhere, where it says its possible via USB cable to reinstall the firmware from HTC?
Do any of you have an idea of how to solve my problem?
After about 5-7 seconds of recording in 720p I was getting recording failed problems every time. It wasn't doing that before or at least not very often until recently. So I decided to update the camera firmware. I go to the camera firmware update screen by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* I selected phone to CAM FW Write and I go to update the firmware to version 2.0.3 it downloads up to 225/253 pieces then stops and says the update is a success, then it tells me to reboot. I reboot the phone with the volume down and power button, and I find out the camera firmware isn't installed properly. Now under camera info it is displaying.

I don't remember exactly what it said before but I know it said something different. The rear facing camera is now messed up and displaying green. This is happening with all the different camera apps that I tried on the market. I also did a factory reset, cleared the cache and wiped the data. Still I'm getting the same problem. The camera info is displaying the same thing to so I know for a fact that the factory reset didn't reset everything. Maybe someone here who has the same phone can help me out by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* and going to "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check." Tell me what it says if you don't know how to directly fix the problem. If someone here does know how to fix the problem it would be helpful though. I'm rooted and I'm currently running stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that helps.
Once I figured out how to root and flash with the Infuse, I didn't waste much time at all staying on Froyo. However, I've had video recording issues that ended up being caused by the kernel. I suppose it's possible that it could be an issue with the Froyo Community Kernel (I'm guessing/assuming that's how you rooted). Any particular reason you'd not want to just back up your apps and upgrade to Gingerbread?

I'm rooted and on gingerbread 2.3.6 now actually. It didn't fix the camera, but I'm able to go into the camera firmware settings and it's now showing

Every time I try to flash the firmware now it says "firmware update failed try again." I read somewhere that you have to remove the camera before doing a camera firmware update. I opened the phone up and it doesn't look like the camera can easily be removed and put back in.

I hate to keep harping on the same thing, but I'm not so sure it's a camera firmware issue, and you may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you happened to upgrade with Heimdall, and you're not already running one of them, it may be worth trying one of the kernels in this post, for ****s and giggles:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23118144&postcount=2
I've never had any issue with the camera, aside from what was caused by a kernel, so aside from that advice, I've nothing else to offer. Good luck.
I'm having a similar issue with 2 unrelated apps. The first is the playstation app that was recently released and the other is Triangle Away. On Triangle away, it is saying I need to download an add-on, but then get a connection error immediately. It is the same with the playstation app, It times out on the launch page before even getting to the log in prompt.
Now, everything else works perfect on my phone. I'm getting 30Mbps d/l and 20Mbps u/l. I've tried them on all LTE/4g (hspa+)/3g/2g and wifi. SuperSU is also working fine with all the apps I have installed. It was happening while I was rooted with custom roms, so I used Odin to unrestore factory image and unroot. While unrooted I tried the playstation app and still nothing, I then rooted via odin and tried both an no luck. I then tried rooting through phils recovery and nothing changed. The only reason I care is because I'm worn out on custom roms and want to go stock and just update like normal when 4.3 comes out, but I can't reset my flash counter.
I feel like there's something wrong with my phone, but with factory everything it just doesn't make sense. if you'd like me to grab info for you, please post instructions if it's a lengthy or possible unfamiliar process as troubleshooting system info isn't something I'm familiar with.
Thanks for your time! I hope someone out there can help.
Edit: I have a T-mobile Note 2 (t889)
Hi, I bought a lg g2 D800 32gb on ebay about a year ago. I have some problem and no possible warranty.
One day, without, any physical damage, all the sensor (accelerate, gyro, brightness/proximity, etc... except camera and microphone) stopped working. Because I have no warranty, that everything stopped working at the same time for no reason, there is a chance is a software/firmware problem. Factory reset didn't worked
When I bought the phone, it was on android 4.x.x, so I root it and did a fota update according to this tutorial to update to 5.0.2 (d80030f).
Now I'm looking for a way to clean install the update d80030G, but doing it by really erasing everything thing possible, the cleanest installation possible. Maybe it's not possible to do it directly, I could clean install is to d80020(something) and then update to 30F and then 30G.
I was trying to install TWRP, I did it via an app (TWRP Manager) (my phone is rooted of course) and when I try to boot on it, it showing a critical error. I try to install it manually, I had some permission issue, but still critical error at the end.
I tried doing an dlpkgfile update to 30G, but when launching the update via adb, the phone go black for 1 or 2 seconds, and then comeback untouched. I tried reinstalling 30F, same problem.
I dont have a at&t sim card nor access to one, so no update via the legit way.
Basicly, I'm running out of idea and nothing is working. I just want the cleanest update to any version, i can always update it later via with dlpkgfile files
I need you!
must read this thread before to do anything else with your phone

Hello everyone sorry for this new thread and but I wanted to make sure I give more information on a fresh thread so I can hopefully fix this issue.
The issue I'm having is: When Hotspot is enabled on my Mate 8 Device, the 4G connection does not work on the device itself. However, anyone connected to the hotspot that I enabled has internet access via my Mate 8. Both cannot work simultaneously, only one or the other. This started 3 days ago.
What I did to perhaps cause the issue:
I rooted the factory ROM and changed something with the "Disable Service" app. I diabled the FusedLocation service. I rebooted then it was stuck on bootloop
I proceeded to wipe the phone on TWRP and installed a B180 ROM(Basic, stock international room - rooted) - Problem with Wifi Hotspot persists.
I thought it was the ROM's issue so I upgraded to B320 OEM ROM via 'dload' method - Problem Persists
Installed TWRP 3.0.2 and flashed another L29 B3xx ROM - Problem persists.
every time I installed a new ROM I wiped everything off the phone before I did so.
I'm absolutely stumped.
Please see the image i attached to my findings on my phone.
As you can see when Hot Spot is on, the 4G is "disconnected" and does not get an IP address.

Hi, I have the exact same issue, I am using a completely stock phone, with stock recovery and not rooted.
Have you found a fix to this problem?
Thanks.
