Hello,
I have a problem with my Idol 3 Camera. For 2 days, I can't take any photo or video with the stock Camera app. I tried with others apps like Open Camera but same problem, the app crashes or either says me that the camera is currently used by an other application, which isn't the case. Btw, it's working with Messenger and Snapchat, but the quality is very low. And I can take selfies, but when I switch to the front camera, the app is crashing.
My Idol 3 is running the stock ROM and is rooted, do you have any idea to fix this problem ?
Thanks
You can try clearing cache in twrp or in settings/storage press on cached data

For some God forsaken reason, the camera in my N5 is a pile of crap. Let me list the issues:
(Note I'm using the stock Google Camera app and have tried CM Focal with identical results).
Switching from Rear to Front camera takes a stupid amount of time, usually winds up crashing the Camera app altogether.
Switching from Camera to Video results in a grey bar, 1/10th the width of the screen, spanning the entire length of the right side of the screen. The app usually crashes after this.
Videos usually can't record, the screen freezes, forcing me to hit the back or home button.
When videos do record, they're corrupt and cant be played on any windows machine or in any program.
Sound quality is laughable. (wasn't when I first bought the phone with 4.4.2 on it)
Snapchat usually can't even launch the camera and asks to restart the app. Usually results in me having to reboot the phone.
When the camera does work in Snapchat, pictures come out fine, but switching cameras usually reproduces the issue mentioned above. Videos, however record only 50% of the time. The times they dont, the screen freezes, resulting me having to restart the app.
When videos do actually record in Snapchat they have about a 50/50 of being unable to be played back, resulting in the error message: "Can't play this video".
On rare occasions, using the camera in Snapchat results in the screen flickering rapidly for a few seconds and then the phone reboots... The last time this occured it wiped all the data to Facebook, Snapchat, and EvolveSMS.
These symptoms exist in both Vanilla KitKat 4.4.4 and CM11 (Snapshot M8). Yes, I have reinstalled Snapchat. I've also tried toggling on/off HDR+ to no avail.
My Camera is basically useless and it's extremely annoying. It has even caused crashes that have wiped data from my phone. Hardware related? Software related? I'm really at a loss here... Any help is appreciated.
Well first try a complete fresh install to see if it's just software related

I had this issue with my Nexus 5, and after restart my camera works fine, but after some time I have popup Can't connect to camera again. After some searching for solution, I found (In AppOps) that Viber is using camera in the background and not allowing Google Camera app to connect to camera. I disabled (In AppOps) Viber permission to use camera, and my problem is gone! Sorry for my english
Thx, I'll give it a try
Hello,
I installed the developer preview as soon as it came out. Today I noticed my front facing camera is not working. It was working 3 days ago. In the stock camera app, the button to switch to front facing is not present. I installed a couple of other apps and there is no option for the front facing camera there too. So I tried to wipe the stock camera app's data. After that, the app does not start at all, it just crashes. 3rd party apps still work, but just for the rear camera.
I tried to reflash the system image for android m, but still, the problem persists. I happen to have a spare front facing camera from another broken nexus 5 (RIP old friend), and I still have this issue. Anyone got any ideas?
Hey guys.
I got a problem with my Mi4 with Lineage 13 (6.0.1).
I tried a couple of camera apps, but my rear camera doesn't work. The app starts for a short time including button for pics etc. but the display stays black (seems like someone had his thumb on the lense). Then I get a message "Can't connect to camera" and the app closes.
One thing, when I start a camera app, the lens make a sound like it would took a photo.
What do you guys think? Camera defect or problem with the custom rom? For notice, I had the same problem with Lineage 14 (7.1.1).
Thanks in advance.
software problem.
Try clean flashing again. Or shift to other ROMs
Hi, i have HTC U11 with android 9 and my camera stopped work some time ago.
Today i did reset to fabric settings, but it isnt help.
It doesnt work on any apk.

Does the camera work with apps like Google Duo, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger?

No it doesn't work on any apk which need camera, like snapchat, instagram etc, but front camera works.
Sometimes rear camera works, but without autofocus.
That's a sign you have mechanical failure, not software failure. You might need to have the phone repaired.

I have the same issue. Back camera doesn't work but front camera is working mostly on video call apps.
I tried replacing the back camera, but it doesn't fix the issue.
The only thing it works is draining the battery to 0%. Then, at restart, even native camera app seems to work properly. What do you think this symptom means?
