I just started having this exact same problem when I flashed to jwright's ROM (which is really quite nice). Given the amount of time it takes for the camera to load up, I'm betting this is a permissions problem in the registry and it might be solved by the copy, rename, copy back solution that seems to work for the other things. Anybody know what registry folders have to do with the camera?
Hmmm, now that I think about it. I dropped my camera a few weeks ago and I don't know that I ever checked the camera afterwards. I'm wondering if I wrecked the camera. I just finished putting it back together and the camera looks fine physically but that means nothing really.
Time to poll the board for a new camera part.

OK sorry if this is really dumb or not the right place to post!
The main camera on my XDA Exec displays a blank page, all of the icons are present on screen and all seems to be set right but I get no image from the camera.
Web/Video cam works fine when I switch to that.
I am sure it did work when I first played with it.
The camera function also seems veeeerrryyy slow. Pressing any of the icons or keys does not get response for many seconds in some cases.
I tried a hardware reset and even a ROM upgrade, all to no avail.
Any suggestions or advice would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance
Tim
are you sure nothing is covering ur lens?

cheerio!

Thanks for that but the lens is clear.
Same Camera Problem
Dear Sir:
I am writing from Brazil. I have the same problem with my Xda Exec Camera.
I tried 3 diferent rom update, and nothing appear, like your.
Do you already found the solution ?
Is a hardware problem ?
Kind Regards,

Mine turned out to be a hardware problem.
My provider O2 replaced the unit no problem.

Haya everyone.
I am really lost for a solution here.
My wizard's camera has stopped working properly.
It used to work fine, but since recently everytime I want to use it, the pictures come out all screwed up.
I've attached two samples below.
I tried just about every camera patch there's available, but none of them seem to have any substantial effect.
I also tried different JPG settings, different sizes(that worked a short while) and even different Camera applications like coolcamera..
None of them seem to solve the problem.
Anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Tnx a bunch, just really annoying I can't even use my wizard for sending mms....
Everything just looks wierd...
plz help me out here....
I've had a very similar problem with my old non-smart phone, I took it in to the service center and it was a hardware problem... I hope I won't disappoint you but if it hasn't happened after a ROM flash, camera software change or something - probably your camera is just broken, anyway you can check that in your local service center too?
ehhh.. it is simple settings prob imo. do full backup and hard reset to be sure.
Noob question
Tnx for your reply..
I don't think it's a hardware issue, since the preview of the camera is good.
I'll try a hard reset, but could anybody tell me how I cab perform a full backup?
Sorry for a noob question...
I use SPB Backup. It has been working fine for me untill now, and you have the chance to restore e. g. only pim.
I believe my camera is broken - black screen. I'm not sure but I think it's happened after I upgraded to wm6.
Does anyone had the same problem and was able to fix it or the hardware is ****ed up and there's nothing to do?
Thanks
no....
honestly I don't believe that an upgrade to wm6 can "break" your camera...
... and then there is a simple test that you can try: come back to the original shipped i-mate rom (ftp://ftp.clubimate.com) and you see what happens.
but.... why don't you give us some more infos?
like: is a G3/G4 locked or unloked, IPL/SPL version...
hi
tommy
well, I did that. I restore the original rom and the camera still didn't work.
My phone is G3 locked and I installed on top wm6 from faria (a nice one!).
Of course it could just be that my camera gave up. Since I was not using it regularly and at some point after the upgrade to wm6 I saw the problem it was one of the link.
Can the hardware of the camera be affected by the overclocking?
hey~
i think i may have a similar problem (but the explination doesn't go in to deep detail)
when i try to snap a picture, about half the time it will snap....half the time it just goes black (the screen) and no matter what....it WILL NOT SAVE the photo.
i've tried changing where it saves the photos (main memory or sd card) as well as changed all the settings one by one (megapixels, fine:super fine, snapping type [full press etc] etc. etc. etc. i also tried changing settings via the advance config tool often mention onthe forums)
i haven't updated the rom (stock at&t rom is installed....i'm savy but not savy enuf to change the rom lol) nor have i updated windows (it always gives me an error...says it cant connect to the server or something, oh well i don't much care for micro$ucks anyways lol)
it's running windows 6.1 professional...i have plenty of memory free and hadn't installed anything new or tweaked any settings the day it stoped working....
any ideas?
~j
ps.
oh yeah, oddly...the video record function still works....
Camera might be out of the connecting socket - open your device and make sure it's connected. Failing that - the replacement cameras can be purchased fairly cheaply.
thanks i'll give that a try and let ya know if it works!
i appreciate the very fast reply it's nice to know im not the only insomniac out there lol
~j
Moved since problem is not ROM related.

Haha, I am 18 hours or so ahead of you.
thank you and sorry i placed my question in the wrong area....where has it been moved to though? :s (while ive been a member her for a while, i am still new to posting...ill admit i usually read...but i hope to change that )
~j
No worries. Let us know when you get it fixed and how.
hey all~
enigma....now i see it's enigmaNZ so new zeeland i assume is where you are....so maybe im a lone insomniac lol
jwzg....thanks again
all....as to the suggestion of opening the phone case....well with my nerve disease i'm going to have to have a friend do that since my hands are often no where near steady...ill let ya all know if that works.
mean time i may also look for maybe some other camera software....like i said, it will snap the photo but it refuses to SAVE the photo....so maybe the software is corrupt who knows....ill try it all
~j
hey all~
so i dove into my system registry tonite....i tweaked some things, changed the localtion of where stuff gets saved, changed some 1's to 0's an vice versa an it now seems to work....hope it remains working!
~j
Must have been a bad camera package.
jwzg~
yeah who knows, i'm just happy it's working again

This is probably a really dumb question, but I cant not figure out how to use the front facing camera, there is nothing in the manual on it, cant find anything on the net. Anyone know how to use it? Thanks!

It's on the Camera App. Go to the square and press Self Shot.

Thansks, appreciate it!
then apparently you have to reset all settings when you go back to normal camera unless mine is all screwed up. pretty stupid if you ask me.
My settings when switching back to single shot stay the same, doing hage to switch back anything at all.
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G
So mine is screwed up in some way. Ill test it. Thanks
Well it seems to work.definitely didn't work like that today
Hi al.. I have my s8 from around 2 mounts with no problem but from about 2_3 Days i se that my back camera if i dont use it or close it în task manager when i turn IT up again i have to shake my phone to focalize.. Than it works fine but next time i use it i have to shake again to focus.
Does others have this problem.. Its my phone camera or software?
PS.. When i shake i hear a focus sound in the back.. Like a click.
I think it's your phone camera, mine is still great... Did you drop it?
I dif not drop it... I have found others with this problem.. In order to make the camera focus you need to shake it.. It's very annoying..
Lightly whack the phone and the focus comes back on.

Wife's complaining about the same issue. This is a COMMON problem with the S8(+). Sigh.. Samsung are useless.. cannot get a phone done properly these days.
I had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S6. Annoyi ng focus problem. Last week i update the S6 to Nougat and the problem was not everytime but sometimes. Its a strange problem. My S8 dont have this problem. I hope my S8 dont come with this problem. What you can do is reset everything wipe everything and try it again. I hope this solved your cam problem
Yes it is pretty common problem on many S8 and S8+ devices. There are thousands of users which have this problem, and it is HW problem, not SW. This will be new #cameragate issue. To test if it's caused by HW simply enter service mode by typing code *#0*# and select MEGA CAM button. If there is problem with focusing too, you have problem with camera module which is stuck and not properly lubricated.
Yeah I notice mine is blurry from time to time. Annoying when I'm trying to take pictures of my kids, ordered the Pixel XL 2 and cant wait to get rid of Samsung.
