[Q] Camera Failed Issue - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I just got the s4 on Friday. Didnt try using the camera feature until i needed it yesterday and i keep getting 'Warning Camera Failed' everytime i use the stock camera app. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have tried other apps and i get 'cannot connect to camera'
I will probably take it back to ATT.

There was another user in here a couple of days ago with the same issue. He took it back to ATT... maybe they gave you his?

I suggested check your SD card, but I never heard back from him on that as to whether that was the issue or not

i just got a new one from ATT store. Took out my sd card, they tried updates but the phone was up to date. Luckily it wasnt one of those, 'starts working' as you show them. We even did a factory reset and still didnt work. Well now the camera works again.
Now to root this thing.

I just upgraded my firmware and i still have the same problem. ive had the phone since it came out and the camera went bad after a week. only thing that sucks is that I have the glas.tr that I paid $34 for and I highly doubt they are going to replace or reimburse me for it. It a work issued phone.
Edit: Walked right into AT&T and they replaced it for me right there. I was having radio issues also.

If you have message "Camera failed"...
First of all try this: Open Camera app from the "Application manager" and do "Clear data", then restart the phone.
Second: Do a Factory reset (of course save your data!).
Third: Reinstall Android OS.
If this not help you, you have a hardware problem. You need to change the camera.

--------------------
A few weeks after rooting on 4.3, my camera would fail. It only failed the first time I would open the stock camera app. It would stay "Failed" for about 5 minutes but would then work.. During those 5 minutes, other apps (like snapchat) would also display "camera failed". It would stay working for a few hours then have a failure again However, if I never open the stock camera app, the camera never failed.
I was at first suspicious of my root.
BUT
I tried clearing the app data as you suggested and now it works great! Thank you! Don't know why I didn't try that in the first place...:silly:

+1, RUU back will usually fix any crazy abnormalities. This will unroot your phone too, so if you do need to bring it to sprint, it will be back to complete unrooted factory
Yeah man go ahead and ruu. Or flash fresh 2.0d first and see if that fixes it. His Rom includes a pri fix
sounds like a plan lol.
mind providing the link to RUU? I've never done it before
Fresh 2.0d has a PRI fix?!? I've loaded that before and my PRI still says Flipz_01...

Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!
Thanks for the feedback.
I got an update from her. When I told her to do a hard reboot, she told me that it got stuck on the logo. I'm gonna check it out later. But if that'd be the case, what should I do then?

[Q] Phone reboots or restarts randomly?

i have the sprint version, bought it brand new and did not root or anything at all of that nature but if changing songs or on youtube the phone will reboot for no reason, happens up to six times a day, two being the least. Is there a way i can fix it myself?

Usually random reboots is a kernel issue. But since you have not rooted/flashed anything (I assume) than I would either take the phone back to where you bought it and try to get a re-flash or replacement. If taking it back in is not an option I would do a factory reset on the phone and run it full stock (try not to install any apps/themes) for a day or so and see if the reboots happen. You could also try flashing back stock image via Odin. If none of that works it might be hardware issue.
i have already reset more than 5 times and waited for a while only using apps already on the device, so where would i get the stock image?

i9505 XXUAMDM, want to go to 4.3 - can you help?

Hi all,
I'm currently on Android 4.2.2 (rooted, UK version, SIM unlocked) and would like update to 4.3.
My Baseband version is I9505XXUAMDM.
Does anyone know which rom file I should use? I'd like to retain root permissions if possible and to use an original (or close as possible) Samsung rom.
Many thanks

So you were stuck on the XXUAMDM build and simply followed the instructions on the link you gave and all is working well?
Also I have philz recovery, is this an issue or can this be used instead of CWM?

Yes I was on the I9505XXUAMDM version (see attached image) and just followed the instructions EXCEPT I didn't use ClockworkMod, I'm using 'TWRP Recovery'. I downloaded the 'GALAXY S4 Google Play Edition 4.3 v1.3 CoOoL_BoY.zip' file, placed it on my memory card, booted in to TWRP, wiped the parts as instructed, then ran the installer. All worked nicely!
I backed it all up first (mostly using titanium backup pro), then restored the programs/program data from it after, so I was up and running pretty quickly after.

Philz recovery is basically CWM, so as far as I'm aware you can also run the zip from within philz, However can anyone confirm this?
Sorry to hijack the thread by the way!

Also when you backed up with titanium pro did you choose to do the batch operation and backup system settings and apps or just the apps?

I backed up the apps and their settings (but ignored the system apps). Good luck
So I installed the rom and it is more stable but is still crashing alot!
In Philz recovery when you wipe/factory reset there are two options:
Wipe/factory reset
Clean for a new rom
In guessing I should have chose the clean for a new rom option? I mean the phone still has some of my old data on it so I'm sure something went wrong.
I'm debating just flashing to stock rom and giving up! cab anyone suggest anything?

Yeah you should have chosen the 'Clean for new rom' option. It's likely crashing as it still has settings/files left behind that aren't compatible with your new rom. Mine has been very stable since the upgrade, so it's worth trying again with a proper wipe

So it turns out the battery is ruined on the phone, I thought it was the rom initally and I will give it a fresh install when I can.
In the press samsung have stated that some S4 batteries are faulty, Mine has swollen up and the phone no longer lies flat!
Also it only holds charge for about 20 mins!
Anyhow, I have spoken to the local service centre and I can get a free replacement, good news, however will I have to flash my phone back to stock firmware? Or is my warranty still good?
I can borrow a friends battery and flash back to stock fw but will I need to do this or can I just go ahead and flash back on my rom of choice?
I'v never overclocked the phone or played with any battery voltage settings etc, so I think it must be a genuine faulty batch.
Any suggestions?

Nope you can leave the phone software as is, it's only the battery that's at issue. If they want to see the phone just say it's private and you don't want them looking at it. Maybe even take the battery out in front of them as you're talking at the counter so that the phone is turned off, and they have the battery to instantly look at. Should be an obvious / easy swap out for them...

No worries, good luck! It does have the default Google 'People' app, which is the same as the Contacts one. And for music I installed the Google 'Play Mucic' app which isn't bad. The only thing I miss from the Samsung 'TouchWiz' rom is their camera app.

I didn't know the People app was the same, cheers for that
I went for winamp but tbh its layout is awful and I found it very buggy that and my phone battery was already swollen up! haha.
Will report back with results!
thanks once again.
Got a new battery and not had any issues with the rom at all, only issues I did find was that having my SIM PIN enabled got the phone stuck when it booted, I had to take my sim out and put it in my girlfriends phone to disable the sim lock, after that no issues.
I'm in two minds of if I should reflash it or not tho as it now has a **** ton of my apps, I have used titatnium backup before but I find it to copy my buggy software and back it up then reloading it on my new rom hahah!
But a fresh flash might set it straight for longer avoiding me any future headaches... hahah
Anyhow thanks for all the advice.
Peace

Apps won't download/update?

Sometimes when I try to download/update an app I'll get an error after it's done downloading that says it can't install and it'll keep trying until I restart my phone and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't also another issue whenever I turn my phone on or off it'll make apps dissappear and the only way I can access them is to do it in the playstore and I'll have to Uninstall them through the playstore and then reinstall them to make them visible
Are you getting the PlayStore error 492 message when updating or installing an app? If so, I've been trying to figure this out for the past few weeks. I ended doing a complete fresh install of the ROM I'm currently using, which is the MOAR ROM, and I'm still getting the dang errors. I've cleared the playstore cache, data, uninstalled,etc. It either works for a bit or nothing...if youre having the same issues as myself, I wish I could help.....

Hmmm I don't think so I'm getting error code 963 it's weird cuz while the app is downloading it'll say 86mb for instance then it'll go to 90mb then it'll go back down to like 82 and the whole time the description is like flickering almost like you're refreshing the page but I am also on Moar do you think it could be a problem with the rom? And what version are you on? Og5 or pb1?
Still on OC4 and haven't dorked around with any of the apps in months. I'm going to flash back to NCG and root then install upgrade to lollipop by Muniz_ri and see what happens. If nothing, I'll go ahead and flash the MOAR ROM. Been on it since last year and haven't had any issues until now. Wish someone would have a concrete solution..

Since you are rooted, go into root explorer and navigate to /data/app/ Do you see any duplicates in that directory? If so, the fix is simple. There may not be enough space due to duplicate apps.

Checked it and didn't see any duplicates. Although, I did see a good bit of '-2' but no '-1' for the same app
I don't know what is going on with why I cannot update/install apps...I started from scratch starting with NCG,rooted and installed the MOAR ROM again and on the OC4 firmware....I was able to load apps just fine for about an hour and then i went to check to see if i could update an app, none in particular, and received the freaking 492 error again.I hate to say and not saying that this is the culprit, but i checked it after i installed LP SafeStrap. I'm clueless to why i'm getting this and don't know if i'm the only one or not. I didn't install any backed up apps or data either. If anyone has any thoughts or fixes, i'm open to suggestions. Oh, I've done the clear cache and data in the Play Store and the other Google Play apps and still got the same results

reflashing the rom worked until i tried to restore everything wit titanium back up then for some reason the cpu was too high and kept turning my phone off so i reflashed it and only restored certain apps and everything is working a okay now but i think that might have been the case before because for some reason i had so much space taken up i have almost everything on my phone in my sd card and my phones a 16 gb and it was saying i only had a few hundred mb and now i had 6 gb after i reflashed and im down to like 2 and a half gb (i assume cuz i restored the apps and it stuck stuff on my phone instead of sd card but idk)

Yeah, tried everything that that I saw posted in the threads and Web. I ended up flashing back to NCG and started from scratch. After installing MOAR and setting everything up, and not to say that this was the culprit, i installed the LP SS V17 and it all happened again. So, I reflashed the ROM and installed the SS rooting tools V6 and reluctantly haven't had any issues 'yet'?. As far as storage goes I have 7.8gb available now. Have you looked into your hidden folders or cache on the SD card to see if there were any unused apps/data that could be deleted? It's running so far so good at the moment but I haven't tried to update any apps yet. I may check to see what happens...
Veid71, thanks for checking in and for your suggestions. I appreciate the help and hopeyou get your issue with the Play Store resolved. If i have any helpful suggestions, I'll be sure to let you know. Sorry to go off topic a bit.
Fellow users I don't want to steer/scare anyone reading this to think to not install/use the LP SS recovery apk. Its a great and useful app that JrKruse modified from the original version for our LP devices. I'm not saying anything is wrong with it or it may "break" something and I'm not even 100% sure SS was the problem, it could have been something else that may have been messing up the Play Store update issue. So please don't let my posts deter you from using the app.

np everything seems to be good with my phone now and thats odd i remember when the error occured i just kept on trying and getting ahold of google support and it was a huge pain in the ass but theres a number of things that could have went wrong maybe the app downloaded incorrectly and messed up other stuff in your phone (not sure how that would have happened but hey everything is possible with technology lol) or maybe the file you downloaded was wrong or didnt flash correctly or maybe idk lol anything and everything could have happened lol

Yeah, I agree. Could be a bad download or the app(s) didn't agree with another...I'm glad that we're both able to get our devices running correctly. Just wish I knew what was the issue(s). I posted in the LP SS thread about my issues and JrKruse was helping me out. It helped for a bit but went back. The odd thing is that I never had any FC's...oh, well....Again, thank you for your suggestions and responding back. That's what the XDA community is about. Helping and sharing with others, without the bitterness(hehe)as i, at times, see throughout these threads...thanks again, A
I had this prob. also. I had changed download directory to ext. SD card. Changed it back to default location, problem solved. Don't know why won't write to ext. sd.
Random thought, did you use Aptoide to install/update any apps? I had massive issues with buggy apps from Aptoide, and Google Play Services was one of them.
