Hello,
this is my first post in this very very very helpful forum
recently i bought nexus s for 50$ but nor camera neither flashlight working
i tried:
1) flashing diferent roms
2) disambled it and cleared camera ribbon pins
but no success.
at this time i am on stock jelly bean i flasshed this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784497
when i start camera it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" and app cloeses, but when i start app "Tiny Flashlight + LED", the app starts but it says "an application like youtube running in background may be preventing the light from starting. try stopping it or reboot your device" after that if i start camera it says different: "Can't connect to the camera". and if i force stop "Tiny Flashlight + LED" again camera app says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped"
so i cant understand the flashlight is damaged and forcing camera not to work or camera is damaged and forcing flashlight not to work or both.
and one more thing, the front camera works (third part apps) but it shows 90 degree rotated picture no meter how i rotate it.
sorry for bad english
any help would be apreciated

thx but didn't work
maybe i had to post in General ?
i read somewhere that flashing roms via clockworkmod doesn't change every partition just system partition, so i decided to download the stock 2.3.3 backup and restore from clockworkmod but it didn't solve, same no camera no flashlight.
is there any better way to completly revert back to stock, then restoring 2.3.3 from clockwork?
1 more question:
if camera hardware is broken does it mean that flashlight wont work? until replace camera?
HEEELP i need heelp
i replaced camera but same, no camera, no flashlight, front camera showing rotated picture.
i cannot understand how can front camera work but now rear when they are on the same module (attached file)
now i am sure that it is software issue BUT, i tried everyithing
1) restored stock via CWM (i downloaded CWM Backup)
2) flashed stock via fastboot (radio, baseband, -w update)
different kernels, basebands, roms nothing helps
i have 1 last chance, ODIN!
but i don't know how to use it.
but if you are sure that flashing via odin is SAME as flashing via fastboot then i have no idea
Did you solve your problem?
Hello,
did you solve your problem?
I met the same problem . But I am sure that it is about ONLY software problem. (I tried to check from factory reset window, Suddenly flash light become working, blind up. But it was whole chinese, I couldn't understand anything). If you solved, can you please write?
Thanks
Anyone help me please???
whenever i try to use my front cam (in stock/non-stock camera app or any app like skype etc.) I get a message displayed saying "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working". I got access to the camera app after clearing data and cache but if i try to use front cam again, it stops working.
Is this a hardware problem?
I have done all these:
-tried stock/non-stock camera apps...
-wiped all data, system, cache, factory reset...
-rooted my phone and flashed custom roms (CM11, AOSP 4.4.2, SlimKat 4.4.2)
Any suggestions would be a help.
Thanks!
I have a samsung s4 mini.
For the last couple of days, whenever I go to my camera app, it says "Camera Failed". I downloaded "Open Camera", and this application says that there is another application may be using camera.
I have rebooted the phone, stopped camera, cleared the cache, even tried the camera on safe mode. nothing helps.
Is there a way to re-enable the camera without resetting the phone back to original?
Thx
Hi !
You didn`t mention whether you`re using a stock rom or a custom one
Removing the open camera which most probably caused the issue may work but not 100% sure , basically on stock rom should work , on a custom rom the things are different, this is library related and I can`t suggest you to go and remove anything from there
You either refer to the rom developer if on custom or just factory reset if on stock in case the open camera uninstall doesn`t work
Good luck
Hello,
I am unable to use the camera. I have already tried:
wiping cache partition
booting in safe mode (same error)
factory reset
replace camera module with another one
This error happened without any special event (dropping the phone or installing other camera apps). I have a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0.1 on it.
Do you have any suggestions or any idea what is the problem?
If you know the replacement camera is functional, then I think it would be a problem with the motherboard. I assume you are running a stock 6.01 ROM.

Hey... Did you fix it? I'm trying too, but no solution so far
I have a sm-g930a s7 at&T. about 2 weeks ago my camera and flashlight quit working. I have tried the following:
disable smart stay
, reboot phone.
went to camera app, force stopped, cleared cache, cleared data, restarted phone
, restarted in safe mode, camera still not working in safe mode.
cleared system cache, wiped data, did factory setup. camera not working
Changed the software on phone using odin. flashed G930AUCUBCTB1. Odin worked, Camera not working still. I was considering trying a ball peen hammer, but not there quite yet.
My backup phone is a s7 edge with a beautiful pink line.
Any idea where to go from here?
I have the same problem, open camera and I get a black screen followed by a "camera failed" message. Tried different apps. Actually replaced the rear camera. Reset phone back to factory stock. Did all of the "other" stuff. Nothing works. The problem started shortly after the last (February) and final OTA update that ATT did. Anyone have anything I can flash to my phone with ODIN? It is a SM-G930A Baseband G930AUCUBCTB1.

Try installing a different camera app and see if that works. If it doesn't, it could very well be the camera itself.

I have tried 2 or 3 different camera apps. No help. I forgot to say that the camera will actually come on very very occasionally.
