Camera failure

Recently, my camera is failing to save any image that is taken. I've tried every camera app I could find and several different roms including fission 2.4.3 and gummyjar 2.5
Can anyone help me with this? Any help is greatly appreciated
The problem started after I updated from fission 2.2.2 to 2.3.1. I posted the problem on their board and I got no response

Does your other media work like camcorder, music, etc?

The camcorder doesn't work. Most video playback works, but youtube doesn't. I don't use my phone for music, so I don't know about that.

99% sure you need to update your system. I hate to be a jerk, but this question is asked often. Therefore, I'm going to default to: search is your friend (Google or forum).

Does updatimg the system mean updating the kernal? Iv tried some research n I dont understand the benift, aLso, to update the kernal do u just install the zip under bootlaoder?

Have you messed with the DCIM folder on your SD card? Such as opened it and accidenctly sorted by date or size? I did that once and my cam wouldn't save a pic...let a lone even open the app. So I hooked my phone to computer and ascended the date from old to newest. meaning the newest pic was at the bottom of the folder. unhooked and rebooted phone and all was fine... just my two...

Skype w/video now on Epic

However, if you are running froyo, it only supports the rear camera (which is totally retarded). They try to make it sounds like the rear camera thing is a froyo limitation, yet the front camera works just fine on Tango.

Tried it on EG22 and it works very nicely using the front camera, and the camera is correctly oriented as well.

Works for me on EG22. Skype finally is doing something right lol

I tried it on EC05, and it didn't work. I went to the options to enable video chat, and it told me that I needed to re-install Skype. I did so (twice) and it was disabled again. Not sure what is happening.
The rear camera thing is unbelievable.

It appears this is app-wise one of the few reasons to want GB. Too bad Skype has the rep for being a POS no matter what they do to it.

Can't get it to work on randomrom eg22

I have EG22 rom and can't update skype. Getting the error message "Package was not signed correctly".
Is it only me, or somebody else has that problem too?

Where is your skype installed? I got this for a themed Google plus. And if you're using the hacked Skype it won't update with the official one. You'll have to uninstall it.

Works great on Bonsai B14 EG22 ROM. I have 2 Epics on my account and for some reason one only shows correct if held upside down...wierd. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? Or is there a setting somewhere to fix this?

Running great on Random Rom Osprey. I was at work the other day and skyped with my wife on the laptop. The video even looked pretty good on 3g, no drops or skips. I was pleasently suprised.

I haven't used this cause I use the hacked version, but the hacked version works flawlessly for me and my wife (both EG22), unlike that POS tango.

You can get front camera working with ec05 if you use the hack version of Skype found in the i9000 Apps and theme thread. Although the front camera orientation is off

[Q] Video Chat in neutrino rom

first off dont hate on me if i posted in the wrong section. This is the only part in the forums I'm allowed to post in.
Now to get things started i've been using neutrino a while now (1.4 s ee)
and I recently tried to use oovoo but it wont allow me to video chat. even in the settings of the oovoo app their is no camera options. oovo always worked for me before I flashed neutrino. does any one else have this problem? is their a fix for it?
Ive already searched for this but no one else seems to have this problem on neutrino.
All that aside this rom is just fantastic.
Thanks

neutrino rom uses miui camera not the stock gb cam soo it doent suport front camera extract camera and gallery from
cm7stable and swapp out your camera and gallery

The front camera does work with Google hangouts and with chat if you install the add-on zip. Most things that don't work with neutrino do work after flashing the add-ons

I should've mentioned that i did flash the camera add-on but still nothing. Can provide exact instructions on how to go about doing what you described?

[APP] Quick-Fix for "Cannot Connect to Camera" error for Epinters CM10/CM10.1

[APP] Quick-Fix for "Cannot Connect to Camera" error for Epinters CM10/CM10.1
I know this should go in Atrix development, but I am relatively new to the community and cannot post in the development section yet.
I have been frustrated by the camera connectivity issue that has been affecting Epinters CM10 ROM. Luckily, Epinter posted an easy solution to fix this without rebooting the device.. Looks like this works Epinters CM10.1 ROM based on comments in that thread (I have not tested it).
I decided that it would be a good idea to wrap this in a simple app that would allow a one-click fix!
This app requires root in order to kill the mediaserver process.
To Use:
1) Install
2) Open "Atrix Camera Fix"
3) Click "Run Fix!"
4) Grant Superuser permission
5) DONE!
If there is interest, I could create a one-click widget to do this as well.

Version 1.1:Added ability to kill the gallery/camera app (com.android.gallery3d)

This would have been a nice addition few months back, but I personally haven't run into this issue since the early CM10 builds. Maybe because I started using Camera FX, but camera always works and is never laggy like before. Still thanks for your work, I'm sure it will definitely help someone.

I still see this issue when using the stock camera, mostly after opening the camera multiple times in a relatively short period (~15 minutes) from the lock screen. I imagine that I can't be the only one seeing this. If this helps just one person, i'm happy!

Haven't used the stock camera in a long while, I remember it being annoying to restart. I'm sure there are going to be people who will enjoy this.
Try camera360 from the play store. It's free and has lots of options. It doesn't crash either...

I was using Camera 360, with Epinters CM10, but after the last update of camera 360, it wouldn't connect yesterday when I tried using it.

What version of Epinters ROM are you running?
Please ensure that you have granted Superuser permission?

My solution is to use tasker to run the shell command: kill -9 `pidof mediaserver`
On every screen wake. So every time I turn screen off and back on the cam is good to go.

My app does exactly that and adds the ability to kill Gallery, as it sometimes hangs when the camera stops working. Essentially the same solution with different implementation

Yeah I was pretty sure it did. I just wanted something a little more silent and automated. Useful regardless. Hopefully the new kernel devs will fix the problem with cameras entirely.
Note: although on the new alpha kernel the cam always connected for me, I still had problems where I would get "static" artifacts on the bottom of images. Running this fix solves that issue as well.

Works on me i9300 cyanogen mod 10.1. Thanksssss

Yeahhhhhh:highfive:
I read about your app once a while ago and then I wasn't able to find your thread and today I finally did.
You should make this app more popular since it helps a lot. I'm running an international S3 with CM10.2 and cause of the lack of source codes by Samsung this app is more than welcome on my device.
Thank you again!

It works!!
I found out that this also works for the camera problem on CM11 sprint galaxy s3

Have you bothered to read the thread?
Iif so, habe you tried the workaround provided?
Also which rom and version do you have?
Which kernel?
Not to mention the fact you revived an old thread, which may get you reported...

Fix for Samsung Galaxy S5 Camera Problem [Sorta]

Ok i know a lot of you guys bought an S5 and it either came with the camera bug, or it came out of nowhere (like mine).
Well i sort of have a solution for this.
Just download the app Snapchat, for some reason this app doesn't make the camera force close since it uses it's own.
It's not the best but in order to do this:
1.Go to the camera on there
2.Just screenshot the screen.
That simple!!
Until there is an OTA update or you plan on getting a replacement, this is the only solution i have figured out so far.
If i helped any please press thanks. ?
