Samsung J7 SM-J700h Camera problem - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I've been facing a problem with my j7 camera since i bought it i guess. I can't replace the phone though as i bought it from KSA and i'm currently in Egypt
whenever i use the camera the phone restarts, sometimes it says kernel panic upload and sometimes it stuck to the camera and i had to pull off the battery some other times it work when i take off the battery for awhile and i faced a strange problem due to the camera failure: when the phone restarts and i try to draw the pattern it tells me that the pattern is wrong and then i have to take off the battery and put it back sometimes the camera gives me camera failure message and whenever i open it apps start to force close automatically such as android core process , google apps, calendar , camera , contacts . i guess all the apps force close , and a few times the camera app just close without phone restarting or anything else
i tried all possible solutions and nothing seemed to be working
1-cleared camera app cache and data
2-took off the battery and put it back
3-wiped cache and dalvik cache
4-tried other camera apps
5-tried the camera debugging codes from the dialer
6-updated phone to marshmallow
7-stopped all google apps and services and other apps with the disable ability
8-and finally flashed the latest stock firmware available online
the phone ain't rooted , no cwm, and no custom kernels, other than the camera the phone is working great without a single problem
is there anything else i should try? thanks in advance

Try custom Rom

Nope didn't try any custom rom , i don't think flashing a custom rom would fix what the stock firmware didn't manage to

[Q] Front camera is not working

When I was using stock rom 4.2.2 .17 I tried to open my camera. then suddenly I got Error! Camera not Available. I tried Third Party Applications but that did not help, but it turned out that the front camera, the back camera and the flash light not working at all. I did a factory reset and reflashed the stock rom and I formatted my SD card but still the issues not solved. So I flashed CM11 then the back camera and the flash light work again :good: .. but the front camera still not working at all. any ideas gays?

Maybe try flashing older rom, and then via USB just update software.?
I've got cm11 and it's not same camera .apk as Sony.
If that does not help, try to extract that camer .apk from cm11 and just put it in your phone (remove stock camera apk).

I will try this, but I'm thinking of changing the KERNEL to see if that's could make it work

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

I tried it several times but it didn't work. Please help
I have a doubt what if I root my phone and install custom camera rom will it work. Please help
Try reset your phone, perform a repair software (reflash it), or try other camera app.

you should give me more information about the situation
but for now I can think that it's a hardware issue( if you drop it before)
but for now more information please

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

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.

rear camera not usable. everytime open camera app, cause phone to reboot

hi guys, I just experienced last few days where by when i installed other custom rom on my opo, suddenly my stock camera app cant be used. rear camera cant focus properly, and after that the phone will reboot. I tried installing other roms as well as changing back to stock rom (i was on cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 unrooted) but problem still persisted. the phone wont reboot as long as i dont open camera app. it happens to all the roms that i installed so far. even after i used fastboot method to restore back to cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 still the same. open camera app, image cant focus (blur), reboot.
now whatever rom i install, either:
1. can open but rear camera image blur, then phone reboot few seconds later
or
2. camera app cannot open, then phone reboot
or
3. camera app rear camera cannot use. only front camera can use
please help! thanks

But that can't do hardware damage,and your issue seems related to hardware only.You should get your device checked from a professional repair shop.

I never said to get the rear camera module replaced,I said get your device "checked". If the problem were of the rear camera module,you could've replaced it yourself. :/
