"Unable to connect to camera" Help needed! - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey xda members,
since a while I got a problem with my Nexus 5, I cant use the camera anymore.
I already did a lot of research and found out that for most people a wipe of the google camera app followed by a reboot works. For some a factory reset made it.
For me neither of those 2 options seem to work. I already tried it with 5.1.1 LMY48M and 6.0 Stock and xTraSmooth Rom. With every one of them it shows "Unable to connect to camera"
On all of these versions i had no other apps installed, just the stock google package, no other camera app or flashlight app.
Please help me

i hope some of you got an answer...
well, hopefully tomorrow, good night

am i allowed to push this thread? is almost on second site now...

Try this
I fixed that error when shut down "Trusted face" in Security settings.

If you did a flash all and your camera is not working then it's hardware issue.

[Q] play store app update updates one or two then stops

Hello guys,
Very frequently when there are several apps to update on play store, nothing happens and I have to stop then start the update all process again. Then it updates two or so, then nothing again and I have to stop and press update all again...
Anyone know what's going on?
Im on Stock, rooted 4.4.2.
Cheers
Mark.
I too have this problem, although it happened before upgrading to 4.2.2 as well.
Reboot your device, fixed for me.

I will try next time I'm updating... but my phone has been rebooted a few times since 4.4.2, so it's not like it has just been set up. Also the issue was also there with 4.4.1 and maybe even 4.4.0
cheers
Mark.

Unlink your Google account, reboot, relink. I had this issue on 4.1.2.

Hi
I don't see a way to "unlink" my google account. I have 3 on my phone, and the only options in phone settings is to deselect sync (tick box) for specific items or to remove the account.
what do you mean?
tx
I have had the issue where I hit update all and then I don't hit the accept new changes that the application is requesting. It doesn't seem to show unless you stop and restart the download.

[HELP] Error RPC:S-3

Hi there;
I reinstall the stock rom on my nexus 5. At the beginning all my apps get well installed. But I see that Zooper Pro Widget didn't install, I try to install it manually but I receive the message error RPC:S-3...
I found a thread on XDA a tried everything were mentioned there but nothing works .
The problem seems to be with Zooper cause I can install other application without problems.
Any idea ?
Did you install the latest stock image, 4.4.3? Maybe zopper isn't compatible with it yet

Got the same issue at the moment with an app (Scrum Poker).
I tried clearing stuff (google play and google play services - didn't touch the play framework data yet) but to no avail. The app is constantly nagging me about updates and I will probably end up uninstalling it.

I hope you will have the same luck I have. I had to wait just one day and everyhing seems to be good now.
It seems that's a a random issue. I was updating my apps when I only had this error with CM Browser.
This is happening to me too, I thought that it's because I rooted with towelroot.
I had to download the apk using apk downloader chrome extension and sideload it.
I could not update using play store. I uninstalled it tried to install it fresh but I still got the error. After I sideloaded it, I uninstalled it and tried to install it directly from Google play and it worked!
Edit: the apps that I could not update were gtasks and badland.

Did the same, and now I don't get the nag about the update. Guess there was something odd, since I had to "force" to download the latest, so maybe the error is actually on google's side and I have been resetting and reconfiguring stuff like a mad man for nothing
Exactly.I cleared data for Google play and Google play services, uninstalled updates for Google play, I even cleared data for Google framework but nothing helped. It could be a Google issue.

More tests:
I can install a new app or uninstall an app and then reinstall it without a problem.
It seems that only apps that have updates generate this error.
*EDIT* There's a new update for rayman fiesta run and the update worked so the problem could be fixed already
*EDIT2* I uninstalled Badland and it still gives the error when I try to install it fresh.

I'm assuming this is perhaps an issue on Google's end somehow. I've never had this error, as I've always been stock/rooted. However, I am now getting this error when trying to update the ESPN Sportscenter app. I figure I'll just wait to see if it resolves itself.

Yesterday I was finally able to install CM Browser. I didn't do anything to fix it.
In my case force downloading the latest version from play store (using the chrome extension on my desktop) did the trick. It seems that the version that google was serving me by default was 2.3 though it was notifying me that it had an update ready.
Guess it's some sort of caching issue, but for me it was annoying (was so close to reset the phone).

Just an update from my post above. I was getting the error all day yesterday trying to update the Sportscenter app. This morning, it updated fine. I didn't do anything at all. I guess a little patience does go a long way.

Nexus 5 camera crash.

I have 2 Nexus 5 devices. The one my wife owns does not like the latest Google Camera apk from the Play Store. I have re-flashed the stock 4.4.4 ROM from Google as well as verify the checksum of the image. The stock camera apk that comes with the ROM works fine. I have tried booting into safemode and finally got the new camera working. Unfortunately after booting to normal mode the camera crashes again. I have cleared cache and it did not help. Also sometimes when she calls me her voice sounds garbled and jittery a little. The bootloader is unlocked but no root access. My question is could the unlocked bootloader be the issue? Or is there something else I can try? Thank You in advance.

I don't think it's the unlocked bootloader. I'm running LiquidSmooth (with unlocked BL of course) and it works fine

Bootloader status doesn't have any impact on camera or any system files for that matter.. Since you've already flashed factory images and still face this camera issue, it could be a hardware issue.. Do you get these crashes while using other camera apps as well?

I tried a bunch of camera apps from the Play Store and none of them crashed. Is it possible that the camera has bad firmware?

No matter what I do, Google now will not set up for me. It says "network error. check your connection and try again". I have tried it on both wifi and data, 3 different gapps packs, 3 different 5.1 roms aosp and cm based, ....and I even downgraded to kitkat and back up to stock 5.0.2...and it is still doing it. I am at a loss here. Can anyone help

Did a factory reset on my Nexus 6 today and I'm having the same issue. Was chatting with someone on G+ who has the G4 and same problem for him too. Seems to be happening on new device setups and Factory reset. IDK the solution super annoying.

Nexus 5 camera not working: Error can't connect to camera

Hi I am using the latest update of marshmallow. Unfortunately the camera and proximity sensor doesn't work. I faced similar problem in last update also. But it started to work fine in between and one fine day it stopped again. This kind of proved that there is no hardware issue. Kindly help me resolve this issue as i have tried everything available online line clear cache, safe mode, delete third party applications, factory reset.
what OS are you using? I sometimes have similar issues on CM13 (Camera, flashlight not available suddenly), a reboot mostly fixes it
I too face this issue. Simple reboot fixes it every time. Try stock ROM.
