I'm with Cricket/AT&T and only got to upload this update a few weeks ago. Ever since then my Phone's Camera will not open! Why?! I really need my camera and I'm excited to see how much better it is, if that possible. I have tried opening it from the shortcut and the app itself and all it will do is flash the camera and instantly close. I'm not a tech buff but My Son is and he can't figure it out either.
Please try an help. Please!
Thank You Very Much for Your Time and Help!

Hello there,
I'm by no means an expert with mobile phones, but was recently given a C600 and having done some research on the net managed to unlock the phone myself.
However, although the phone was working fine with an O2 prepay sim card for the past few weeks, it has now decided to have what can only be described as a 'fit' every time i try to use it.
Half the time the three colured screen comes up when i turn it on, which says tornado, and a series of numbers, and then when i can get the phone switched on properly, half the time some of the buttons refuse to work, and the other half the phone will decide to flip between the earpiece volume setting screen, the camera, and the voice command thingy, when all i am trying to do is to text my mate to see if he wants to go for a beer!
Needless to say i haven't had a beer for the last two days, and am a little annoyed about being constantly outwitted by a mobile phone, so i decided to come to the experts for help.
Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this issue!!
thanks guys, i clearly came to the right place here!
great.
what rom did you install on your tornado?

Wow you waited whole hour and a half before you gave up to wait for an answer, LOL.
PS
Your problem is cammera button - its half stuck so you need to clean it.

didn't change the rom at all as i heard that the new one was no good, its as it came out of the factory...
however, the toggle button is now not responding at all as with many other c600s from what i can tell on the net, so i may have to install the new rom anyway and hope that solves the problem.
i have a feeling that i will have to go through the entire process of unlocking the phone again when i have installed the new rom also, i'm starting to wonder if it is worth it....but i do really like the phone so it would be a shame to give up
thanks a lot for the help, if anyone else can help please post...
thanks

25 and a half hours, but sorry for the impatience its just very frustrating to not be able to use a phone when i have no spare.
i'm pretty sure the problem runs a little deeper than the camera button but i'll give it a try.
thanks
Hello all. I have a Tmobile Samsung Vibrant, and a few weeks ago I went to use the camera and got a camera failed message. I rebooted and it was fine, for a day then got the message again. I ended up buying a replacement camera, installed it. Camera worked for a few days then I got that message again. Someone in the vibrant section suggested using odin and flashing to stock. reluctantly I did, and my camera worked fine, for a few days. Then, you guessed it I got the camera fail message. Does anyone know of anything I could try? Is there something else in the phone that could be causing this? Sorry for the long post. Thanks Gregg
might be a hardware problem...
OK. Any idea if or anything I could replace?
bumptiy bump for some help.
Hi I recently started to notice that there was black blobs on my screen when I turn on the camera. This only happens on the when I flip and turn on the 8mb back camera. When I take pictures it also there. Once I exit the camera app the blob is gone. Did anyone ever encounter this problem? I called in Samsung and they wanted me to send in my phone for a repair. So I'll keep updating the issue. Thank you for your time.

Is your finger covering the camera lens!?!? LOL j/k
Had to say it. The SGH-i727 has been know to have screen issues with lines and blobs but they are usually pretty small. If you are not seeing the "black blobs" any other time on screen, then there must be an issue with the camera. Your best bet is to either send it in to Samsung for a repair, or try and take it back to the store where you got it from.
Best of luck.
By the way, are you running a stock or custom ROM?
Thanks

Hey Thank you. Yeah I sent it in today for repair. I should be getting back in 6 or more days. I was running on a stock rom 2.3.5 at first but I noticed the blobs when I was using the leaked ICS. So I went back to 2.3.5 and they were still there. It was probably the camera. I noticed the vertical lines a long time ago but they didn't bother me at all. Not all phones are perfect. haha Thank you very much though!
Hey guys,
I just got a Atrix 2 from a buddy of mine who recently upgraded phones. The screen is cracked and has 2 black spots, so I ordered a new screen and digitizer for it.
Anyways, the only other issue is that the camera does not work. I did a factory reset, and installed the ICS upgrade from android 2.3. Thinking maybe that would fix the camera not working issue. But it did not. Front camera works occasionally, but main camera never does and FC's camera app.
Is this a hardware or software issue? Are there any troubleshooting that I could try? If the camera itself is bad, I would simply install a new one while I have the phone tore down to install new screen and digitizer.
Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated guys!
Thank you!
Try installing the "Ucam" app from the playstore and check if you can open it.
Why upgraded to ICS when jellybean is already available??(I think you did system update in the setting) If the above app also dosnt work then you can try installing a jellybean rom and check..
Is your sd card properly working?
Thank you for the reply! I tried installing the camera app you mentioned, and still does not work. It force closes, unless you choose the front camera.
As for why i didn't install JellyBean, honestly ive never rooted a phone nor have i installed a rom or the like. I simply downloaded and installed the OTA update to ICS. I wouldnt even know where to begin to root or install a custom Rom to be honest lol
Is it possible the camera hardware itself is bad? I downloaded a flashlight app, and the flash does not work either.
Thanks again guys!

I also have experianced similar problems with the camera couple of times long ago..(probably when I was in ICS)
A simple reboot used to fix the issue..
I am not sure about your case.

to verify whether it is a hardware fault, i think you'd better to try several other ROMs first,
then you can have a conclusion....
Hey, i need your help!
I have a really big problem while recording videos with the camera. It feels like i have 1-2 fps and this is not nice. It is very laggy and videos are just useless. I can't remember having this issue with stock rom, anybody have a solution for this problem? I have done an Error Log using LogCat, i hope somebody could help me! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4EL6fd2SCXeWElDa0JFcXJCS3c/view?usp=sharing
