Hey y'all, I got the G6 yesterday and had a camera related question. This is a brand new device, fully updated, and when I go to open the camera, a message pops up saying "Camera Error: Camera Unavailable." Does anyone know how I can fix this?
This seems like an app error because the camera works well on Facebook and Snapchat.
settings -apps-camera -clear cache and date reboot-try!
If not working.....if not working.?.RMA
I already did that and I get the same error. I find this odd.
I was wrong. Both Snapchat and Facebook switch between the single and dual lense back cameras. They do not switch to the front camera.

I have the same issue with my LG G6. Have you fixed yours?
I got a new one, only way to fix it.
Im having the same issue after a screen replacement. The people who replaced the screen even boight a new front camera and replaced it with no luck. Also, the screenshot button for the bottom bar is conpletely missing which i find very odd.
That error seems to be the camera unpluged
I mean the phone is made of connections between hardware and the camera is not connected , its an hardware problem that is fixed by open the phone and plug jt in

I have the same issue with my phone. I replaced the cameras and it still gets the error; however, it does come on when I use a barcode reader...?
I also have the same issue (lg g6 - android 9)
When i open stock app for camera i get error "Camera unavailable".
But with other camera apps like Gcam or Open Camera, it works fine.
I flashed with new rom, but the error is still there.
Any ideas???
- i flashed with Android 9... not solved
- i flashed with Android 8... not solved
Hardware problem?
in that case why camera works fine with any other application, except stock?
Software problem?
it should have been solved after flashing two original roms (8 & 9).
The only explanation i can think is that there is hardware problem with 1 of the 2 camera. And maybe with the wide one. And maybe that's why it is not working with stock app. Maybe other camera apps don't require both camera's (normal and wide lens) to be working.

After upgrading to ICS, the build in Camera App has problems and also the QRC-Reader App even shows a error.
In Google Googles and Camera FX, the Camera works perfect.
Does anybody experience the same issues.

Nope, all working perfectly here. I tested video, still, and panorama with the front and rear cameras, including all options (white balance, face effects, etc.), as well as panorama with the rear camera (it can't be used with the front one), and scanning a dozen different 2D and 3D barcodes with the ZXing app and rear camera as well.
Not a single error or crash on a stock US-market just-wiped TF101. Well, other than that the camera quality sucks, but that's a hardware issue.
every camera app including the stock one work perfectly.
Mine also works perfectly now... fornt and rear...
But one question though: in the stock camera app, what's the button in the lower right corner for? my camera app freezes when I click on it...
Hi,
Also for me not working camera; I try more applications, none of them working.
This is very strange: I have between the applications that are included in ROM also "Superuser". This suppose to came with ICS?
My TF was rooted previously, but when I did upgrade to latest version of HC (8_6_5_21), I did lost the root.
So this application was installed in my TF before the upgrade to ICS; but now I cannot uninstall: seems that is included in ROM.
The error I receive when I try camera is : "Can't connect to the camera".
I believe that something went wrong in my upgrade. I did also factory reset after upgrade to ICS, no change.
Now I hope some update from asus will help me.

camera not working
My camera is not working as well, done people have started their cameras up while holding their finger in front of it to activated their auto focus, and have had success. Just place your finger in front of the camera for 5 seconds then remove it. No success for me, but you can tell it's doing something different when you do that
Same problem here "Can't connect to camera". This error comes up for front facing camera but the back camera works perfectly. Thing is this error came up when I installed the prime rom.
PS. The front facing camera was working when I bought the tab.

Ah, the front sensor strikes again...
That's almost like my own experience with the front camera: worked like a charm on Honeycomb, since 9.2.1.17 it goes berserk in low-light conditions until the unit is rebooted (but instead of an error message the Camera application showed a garbled image with previous contents of the framebuffer).
IIRC, the first batch of logs I sent to Asus North America was related to this problem
Are you guys stock and unrooted? If not give it a shot just to see.

I have the same problem. My camera just dont want to focus. Sometimes it starts working again after 30 times closing and opening the camera app. Wiping data, installing other roms; it all doesnt help. I installed an app: lgcamera, and with this I managed to sometimes make sharp pictures. When it works in this app, my standard app works too. But its only temporary.
Hardware is working probably because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt....
Anyhelp?
I have this problem, too. I believe it is a hardware problem. I disassembled my MB526 to access the camera and found that I can temporarily solve the problem.
It seems like a moving part of a camera with front lens in it was stuck in one position. I slightly moved it by a screwdriver, turned the phone on again and found autofocus working. Sometimes I hear high-frequency sound while camera app initializes a camera.
Before that camera didn't work for more than 3 months. It works from time to time now, so I hope to solve the problem by mounting a new camera module. Tha question is, where can I buy it? What is the part number of this piece?
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 I9505 device. I am running the Imperium ROM 7.0 (i.e. Lollipop).
All this time the Camera application was working just fine. But now from some days when ever i open up the Camera application (Rear Camera) i noticed that the screen showed up Green lines on the screen and then the camera application stopped functioning. The app just used to hang and do absolutely nothing.
And now when I open the camera application the screen is completely dark showing absolutely nothing and doing absolutely nothing.
Solutions that I have tried are as follows:
1. I cleared all the Camera Application cache and it did not help.
2. I Cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache but even that did not help.
3. Tried 2 different ROMS, a. Stock ROM and b. AOSP ROM and found the same camera behaviour.
The front camera is working absolutely fine though.
Any suggestions? I now believe that the Camera Module is dead.
If so has anyone of you replaced your camera module, and would you mind sharing your success story?
Thanks
Seeing a few posts like this
There are quite a few posts like this recently. I tried swapping for a known good camera module and it did not fix my problem. Either this is related to some type of software update from google, or our motherboards are going bad.
Got a new Note 4 SM-N910C after I replaced my old, as it had display issues (same model). Old and new phone are running 5.0.1., both are rooted. I restored all apps and data from the old phone on the new via Titanium-Backup.
When I open the carema app, or ANY other camera app on the new phone, it won't focus for approximateli 10-15 seconds - afterwards autofocus works snappy and accurately. When I close the camera app and reopen it, sometimes the autofocus reacts immediately, sometimes I have to wait again. After a longer period in which i did not use the camera, the initial lag always occurs.
Same issue when I use the test mode (#0# - Mega cam). In compairison the old model always works perfectly!
Resetting the camera app does not fix the issue. "Shaking" the phone does not fix the issue.
Does anyone know that issue, does anyone hab a suggestion how to solve the problem. I don't know whether this is a hardware (stuck af-motor??) or a software problem.
I thank you for every answer and suggestion in advance.
Are you on the stock ROM now?
Yes, everythin is stock.. just rooted via CF autoroot..
Did you have this problem before you rooted the device?

It's a hardware problem, the camera lens abit loose. Some tried shaking it but only a temporary fix. Bring it to Samsung Service Centre for repair (if still have warranty). Mine had that problem and was fixed by Samsung.
Update:
I restored the device's factory settings, i.e. Recovery - Full Wipe, and flashed the Lollipop 5.0.1. stock rom via Odin. I did not not restore the camera app usting Titanium Backup.
The error still exists. Shaking the device causes no improvement at all and there are no strange noises during focusing detectable. I suspect that it is therefore definitely not a hardware failure.
.. Once again the error description:
If I do not use the camera for some minutes and open any camera app (e.g. native app, instagram, PS-express, whatsapp, Google Kamera, camera pro and also in the test mode (# 0 # - Mega Cam)) the picture is totally blurry and the focus seems to stay in the macro focus. When I try to set the focus point by touching the screen, the focus indicator appears but the focus does not change for approximately 10 seconds (again, in all camera modes and camera apps). After this "initial lag" the camera works perfectly fine. When I close my camera and open it after a short time, it focuses immediately. When I close my camera and open it after a longer time, initial lag occurs again.
This is extremely annoying.
I suspect that the system deactivates the camera ("deep sleep") so when opening the camera a full "initialization" (i.e. error checking, etc.??) is done every time. According to the Application Manager however, the camera app is active and uses the system's Ram when the lag occurs!
Can anyone - under 5.0.1. - confirm this behavior?
Again, I am very grateful for any kind of help and suggestions!
How difficult is replacing the camera? Is it simple?
Everything works fine on this phone until few days ago. When I open the camera, the app responses which means it still response to mode changing and focusing but the viewer black out. I usually use the stock camera but I did test on other applications that uses camera, it just not working and pop a message to tell me reboot. The camera can work after reboot, but never know when will it fail again.
Hope someone knowing the main issue causing the camera not working.
I'm having the same issue, but it's only the rear camera. After I restart the phone it functions without any error. But after some time same issue occurs. Does anyone knows a solution.
