Nexus 5 camera not working: Error can't connect to camera - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Optimus 3d camera falsh not working :(

Hi there,
I am facing some problem with my camera flash. every time I put it on and then take a pic, then my camera get crashed. I am currently on 2.3.5. Anyone else facing same problem or does anyone have any solution for it, then kindly help..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TIA
I have the same issue on the same version. At some point the flash doesn't work (even with a flashlight app) and when using the camera the flash doesn't come on and the app crashes. I haven't figured out when or why it happens though.. A reboot fixes the problem for a while but at some point the flash stops responding again.
Hm
1. Try another Kernel or
2. If you are using a custom rom you could try to flash it again. Remember to do a Backup and do a factory Reset.
Most of times reflashing a custom rom fixes most of the bugs.

Help to solve the problem of camera freezing on cm10 & jellybam

Hi guys.
I installed the latest version of the cm10 & jellybam. Camera & gallery be freeze when I want open them.
Is it normal?
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Yes , we all have it unfortunately...
They say , it's a problem with the camera framework.
It'll get solved in due time.
In the meantime , you can use Defcomg's MIUI ROM , i've seen less occurences in that rom but it still exists.
Not sure if it exists in JellyBAM but give it a try maybe they fixed it. (They stopped whining about it in the thread so...)
If they fixed it , let me know so i can switch to that.
I flashed my phone at least 50 times this week so , i'm kinda sick of it.
You try , i follow.
Cheers!

I think there isn't this problem for all, because some people don't have this problem.
WIPE DALVIK CACHE. I did that and youtube, camera and gallery works perfectly.
Yes it temporarily fixes the problem. Unless you're willing to wipe the dalvik cache on every reboot it remains a problem.

Camera Issue

Hi friends,
I' m starting this thread because i have a big issue with the opo camera.
Détails:
The camera works perfectly until i switch to the front cam... And when i want to switch back to the rear camera, the screen freeze and the phone reboot !
After reboot, a tap on the camera icon crashes the phones....
I try factory reset.... But no effects , the camera and flashlight seems to be dead !!
After this, i try a full Cyanogen reflash (via fastboot), the Official CM system files are taken on Official Cyanogen Website.
During this reflash, the XMPH22R version was restored and updated to XMPH25R , but the issues stay unsolved ( tested on each time).
Please help me for to resolve this issue.
Thanks

That seems to be a hardware issue because you had the sames issue on XMPH22R & now on XMPH25R.
One more thing I'd try before we rule out software is doing a DATA WIPE in Recovery Mode. Usually DATA WIPE fixes 98% of the issues most people have with a phone.
Good luck and please report back.

Hi,
I try data wipe into the recovery but when phones reboot, the issue is not solved.
I try many camera fix, the issues stay.
According with you, i'm thinking too that this issues is an Hardware issue.
I've contacted Oneplus Support and i'm waiting their response ( they are replied to my ticket, please try to wipe data...) for the exchange process.

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

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

"Unable to connect to camera" Help needed!

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...

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.
