no but i updated to ke7 wheres the camera update i have a search for it but if you have quick accsess i will be happy cheers matey:
ooops you linked it thx again
Factory reset .
jje
have you changed your screen density, if so this can cause force close on Cam.
This also happens if your battery is below 15%
I get this the same time the sound fails. And won't play videos.
How do you do a factory reset?
if i do it in the menu it deletes everything but its still at KE2 ?? That wasn't on it at the factory.

whats the actual error you are getting, I dont recognise "camera failed", you usually get a "force close" or nothing, are you sure it says "camera failed"?
Mine is definitely "Camera Failed"

Did you clear your ram memory ?
Hi, google it, there looks to be a few things that cause this, Have you tried installing a free cam app from the market?, is this works then it would suggest a minor issue with the app which should be correctable by reinstalling it or reflashing your phone. (if you relash and restore using titaniuim dont restore system apps like camera as this can cause problems.
I use camera 360 pro, its pretty good.
I've got Camera failed too..
Hi.

But this only occur when I use the secondary cam..
A dialog box pop up and says "Warning: Camera failed" and a OK button..
I tried flashing different Firmwares and Kernels but no luck..
Please help.

Hi guys,
I had this same "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" problem when I first got my phone early this year and after a modified the buildprop it worked (a long with pushing some lib files replacing the Gallery.apk)
Since I updated to 4.2.2 yesterday, this problem returned. I tried doing the same steps I took above to get it to work with no avail. I would like to get the build.prop for 4.2.2 to see if it matches what I have (as last time I had a couple of lines missing and once added, the camera worked).
Cheers!
EDIT: I am attaching the bug report
I tried, pushing lib files, clearing cache and dalvik and nothing seems to work.... Every time I reboot the phone I get the "unfortunately, gallery has stopped working" message.
I cannot open camera or gallery without that message popping up.
Some details would help to sort out the problem.
Are you using custom ROM or stock?
If custom, did you upgrade or baseband and bootloader before upgrading to 4.2.2?
Are you using official gapps or custom?
Also have u tried going to settings > apps > all > gallery > clear data, clear cache.

My bad, I was so frustrated I completely forgot to include this info.
I am stock and rooted. I have already tried clearing the data, cache and dalvik with no avail. I did a factory reset given that after updating it was only giving me 8gb instead of 16. When I booted I started getting the error message. I've included my error report a couple of posts up.
In order to install the 4.2.2 OTA I followed efran's guide. Prior to that, I have attached image of what I had.
I've tried installing the 4.2Camera_t04.zip file to see if it solved the issue but no luck.
I hope someone can help me with this issue, being cameraless is so not fun lol
I have attached an image of the files that seem to appear at the end of my system folder , is that normal?
SOLVED
I applied a patch (attached) and it did the trick. Camera now working

Have you tried re-installing the factory stock firmware via ODIN or Kies? You can find more info on it in the Development section. If that doesn't work I think you may have some hardware / warranty related issues. Good luck.
You can also try to download a camera app from the Play store and see if the camera functions OK with a different App.

Tried some apps but they lockup as well, I am going to try and re install the firmware.
Hello guys,
i've bought the p8lite from a few days and it was working great.
Suddendly the camera has stopped working. I keep getting the message "Impossibile avviare la fotocamera, verificare che non siano in esecuzione applicazioni esterne in background (come torcia elettrica). Chiudere le applicazioni in questione e riprovare.".
Translated is like "Unable to start camera, check that there aren't any external app in background (such as torch). Close those apps and try again"
I've not installed any app yet, nor I have rooted or flashed the phone so I really don't know what to do with it.
Help me please!
Thanks in advance to everyone.

Hi,
I had to send the phone back and get it replaced cause it was a hardware problem.
Hope it helps
thanks! but send my phone to USA service is very expensive to me. I had bad luck because my phone has no more than a year.
i will keep trying to repair it.

Maybe flashing twrp and flashing B598/599 stock will help.
Also, when you open the camera app you hear a sound from the actual camera (the lens) ?
I had a similar issue. When I installed a new update etc. the phone was fine. However after switching Google Now Voice (I mean saying ,,Ok Google" from ANY screen) it didn't go well with other apps - in my case it was Camera. So switching Google Ok Voice off helped me. But I'm not really sure, whether it's a same case. Maybe some third party app is blocking something? Good Luck!
im embarrased because camera app works sometimes, i mean, usually works 1 day or less and then shows error msg.
Yesterday i restarted my phone (normal restart) and then started to work. So i do not lose hope

Probably is a hardware malfunction but i want to figth a little more :laugh:

Hi! I have some problems on my Huawei P8 Lite number model Ale-L21.
My Problem is:
-Camera Video is didn't work
-Wifi, mobile hotspot, and bluetooth is did'nt work too
That's my problem on huawei P8 lite
Thank for Reading
I bought my Galaxy S7 Edge about a month ago and I've been loving it, however today I went to use a camera app from the play store (that I've been using fine for almost as long as I've had the phone) and it failed to open.
No error message.
I thought that was weird so I opened Snapchat.
Camera wouldn't load.
I then opened the default camera app and I got a simple "Camera failed" error.
I did some reading and couldn't find much, but read some suggestions to clear system settings or remove the SD card and reboot. Another suggestion was to wipe the system and dalvik caches from recovery. I would do this if I were capable, but I currently have TWRP recovery, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but TWRP currently can't get permission to write anything unless I wipe my phone, which I'm far from ready to do.
I've deleted the camera app from the play store. No dice.
I've cleared all system settings. No dice.
I've removed my SD card and rebooted. No dice.
So I essentially have two questions here:
Most pressing, how could I go about getting my camera to work?
If only through recovery, how do I return to stock recovery so that I'm actually capable of doing anything in it?
EDIT- I just discovered that I'm unable to turn on the flash, as it's being "used by Camera". I feel like that could be important.
Not saying your problem is the same as mine, but My camera just quit working, hardware issue but my selfi cam worked.... I tried all the online tutorials even went as far as restoring to stock, nothing brought it back.
Anyways it happened about three weeks after I purchased it . I bought it from Costco so it was able to exchange it

I have no way to know if it's back cam only, as the camera app is nonfunctional (cant switch cameras) despite being able to open (Can't switch in Snapchat either). I have yet to try flashing to 100% stock or factory resetting, and am hesitant because I have a lot of data on the phone to backup. I also got it from a Canadian carrier and considering the custom recovery currently on, I'm also hesitant to send it in right away.
Exact same problem here about to backup and reset will reply with results. Have you tried running the camera app from safe-mode?

It did not work... I did a backup, wiped cache, and wiped data/factory reset the device. I am thinking it maybe time to call in an RMA.

Update here. The factory reset didn't fix mine either at least I got TWRP working now. Not that that matters if I end up having to send it in.
My stock camera freezes whenever i open it for the first time,i have to switch modes to get it working.
as long as the camera is in memory it works fine but the moment you clear it and open the app it happens again.
I am gcam installed and is having no such issue but i prefer the stock camera.
did factory reset issue persists.
I have unlocked bootloader so i was thinking of uninstalling the camera app from adbfast tool.
should i do that?
can i install the stock camera app using the apk?
and can anyone provide the stock camera apk to try the same.
will unistalling the camera cause any issue?
any help will be appreciated
i am having the indian k20 running miui global 10.3.6
this is a software issue in global rom you have to wait for update to fix it or go for xiaomi.eu rom if you unlocked the bootloader.

This is what actually worked! I had no update available (miui 11.0.3), didn't want to factory reset my phone and the photo app reset didn't solve anything, but activating the location permission did! Thank you.
