A few days ago my phone started showing this message ("Can't connect to camera") when I try to open anything camera related. I googled this problem and I found a workaround involving killing the "media" process but my problem doesn't seem to be related to that since this method didn't worked for me. I am sure that this is not hardware related either, I made a test with wiping my phone and with a fresh installation the camera works with no problem but when I restored my backup the problem returns with it.
Try going into the apps settings then clear all data for camera. Reboot phone before you open camera. This worked for me.

Tried that too. No success
I decided to do a fully clean rom installation, my backup is ready already, I'm just waiting for the next nightly.

Posted this in the CM10 dev thread, but decided I may get some better help by posting here, and here's my OP from the thread:
so yesterday my phone randomly shut off and it seemed to completely reset my phone. It booted up fine with two or three apps missing and all of my settings lost. I didn't think much of it until today when I tried to fix it. I did a fully wipe because some apps had disappeared and wouldn't download from the play store and wouldn't restore from TiBu. I went ahead and did the full wipe, flashed latest gapps and my device started up. I began trying to restore my apps and what not, but at I was navigating the phone my app switch soft key and home key would not function. They vibrate when pressed but don't do anything; only the back key works. I went to settings and remapped the soft keys to see if it was just a glitch and nothing changed. Still no function, only vibration. I then rebooted to recovery and did yet another full wipe and this time tried to install aokp just to see if it was a bug with cm (yes I know aokp i built from cm but I had just downloaded the latest nightly to my phone and deleted the old one so this was a test of the new nightly). Still no cheese. I was then thinking to myself, screw it and at least try to restore some apps, but after configuring my google account and opening he play store i get a constant no connection, retry button. Most of the stock apps will not even open. I flashed a TiBu.zip to restore the app and great, that worked but restoring from in TiBu doesn't work now. I tried reflashing cm and essentially repeated the above steps without any luck. Any ideas? I can't test my data/phone connection other than the fact that after setting up my google account, my email synced and I was able to make a call because the browser won't even open. MY [email protected]$s didn't do a nandroid either
Help a desperate guy in need, please!!
PS redownloading cm and gapps right now on my computer in case of a corrupted download, but to have the issue on cm and aokp is suspicious. I'll have to wait for an hour or two because my internet speed is that slow...

Now I redownloaded CM10 fresh from the get.cm page and even did a md5 check and everything matched up, yet still no luck. another strange thing I've noticed is that my power menu, when I verified in the setting that all options for my power menu were selected, the only options that show up are power off, reboot and screenshot. I checked to be sure app permissions were correct and even fixed permissions from recovery. All apps that do open force close upon any activity, for example upon receiving an email in gmail, the gmail app force closes. I don't know if providing a logcat would be beneficial to anyone because I don't know how to read them.
I am currently waiting on a sense rom to finish downloading to verify that it isn't just aosp based roms, but my internet connection is terrible so the 600+mb file still has 2+hrs left. I am also downloading an ruu if nothing else works, but again with a 500+mb file it will take 2+hrs
Any help is much appreciated and I can provide more info if needed.
SOLVED
Sounds like it might be a kernel issue. Try flashing a different one.
If nothing else works, relock and RUU.

Even if it's the stock cm kernel? i never had issues with it before, but I'll flash one now because luckily I have a couple on my phone already
Edit: flashed a different kernel and nothing changed, but thanks for the suggestion
Just flashed lollipop and everything works perfect except for Bluetooth. Phone simply says there are no other Bluetooth devices in range, and those devices can't see the nexus. I tried rebooting, factory reset, re-flashing stock lollipop using flash-all batch and even Wug toolkit just to cover all my options but still no work around. Anyone else experience this problem or can think of a way to fix it? Anything would help.
Wipe Cache

Hi, one of my friend faced similar issue and wiping the cache from recovery helped solve the issue.
Try wiping cache and reboot.

So I solved the issue. Re-flashed 5.0 to the device, rebooted, and wiped cache. It still didn't pick up bluetooth as of last night but it worked this morning. Also, for any android wear users (or at least moto 360) the phone wouldn't pick up the watch until I did factory reset on the watch and opened android wear on the phone itself in order to accept terms and conditions.
@TheRoice
thanks, has worked for me :good:
After updating my Nexus to 5.0, the camera worked fine for a couple of weeks. However, starting from a few days ago, when I open my camera app, it won't function at all; instead, all I get is the screen shown in the screenshot.
I'm afraid that's all I can really explain about this problem, as I can't think of any other relevant details.
Thanks in advance.

Of course, I tried it twice.
Guess what though? After reading your post, I decided to try it again just for the sake of it, and it works now...Thanks for the solution haha?

Sometimes I get this annoying message when I try to access the camera, it says " Cannot connect to the camera " so what I usually do is reboot my device and then everything works again aha.
Glad it sorted itself out.
Same problem. Rebooted 4 times. Cleared cache. Still no camera
I have the same issue, tried the following
Reboot
Clear camera data
Reboot
Clear device cache
Reboot in safe mode
Reboot
None of that worked.
Tempted to try a new ROM and go from stock 5.0.0... See if that helps
I'm on stock rooted 5.0 and I have gotten this issue multiple times. Multiple reboots fix it temporarily but I can't figure out what actually triggers the issue.
I rarely use the flashlight pulldown, and haven't at all during the last few reboot cycles that this has still happened.
Camera on my One Plus is not working from today. When i open the app it either force closes or says cannot connect to camera. So, I restarted the mobile, no change. Reset, no change. Instead, camera app is now missing, but shows in apps inside setting. Tried different custom roms but camera app is missing. Installed different camera apps but non worked.
I havent dropped my mobile or done anything physical to mobile.
Flashlight is also not working...
Please suggest me if any solutions... thanks

If you have bootloader unclocked and custom recovery like twrp in place, then the option with you is to reflash the "fasboot images" of the desired CM version(11S or 12) and then you can revert to the Custom ROM you want and flash full package of GApps version.
thanks for the help. but i figure out the problem.. the camera was not attached properly and i attached it and all is fine now.

i just watched the tutorial of disassembly in youtube and got the problem solve by re connecting the connection of camera.
Hi folks,
I've just updated my one plus 6 to android 10 and I already have many problems. The rotation and the automatic brightness are not working anymore. Plus, when you try to put your phone near your ear to listen to an audio message on WhatsApp is not working as well. Am I the only one with these problems?
Thanks
Same here.
Is this a bug or did I something wrong?
mine worked perfectly fine. but i find some issues where when i type on my keyboard it's little bit laggy. that's bother me a lot. so i had to soft reboot it
I get the same issues.. I'd fixed with factory reset, now everything works fine
I wasn't getting notifications of missed calls so factory reset. Then I couldn't access my contacts with the message saying something like, you haven't given all permissions. I downloaded another call app and gave all permissions. It worked fine, so I deleted it and gave all permissions to the OnePlus phone app (including location which I'm sure I never had to give previous). It now works...

Oh my... I don't want to do a factory reset ?
I fixed it by uninstalling Magisk via TWRP (there's now an easy guide to install it in Android 10), rebooting to system, check if the sensors are working again, and then reinstalling Magisk through TWRP again. If this happens again just re-do the procedure, an update will probably fix this.
my sensors went bad when first installing the open beta 30, but with a cache wipe in the recovery, everything should be back to normal again. Well, in my case it was so you should give it a shot as well

I usally don't post comments on this forum but i would like to thank you. I had the same sensor issues since Android 10 and it really grinded my gears..
Just wiped cache from recovery and voila, the auto rotate works like a charm.
Thank you very much my friend and have a great day! :good:
