[Q] Can't Connect to the Camera

I recently flashed PAC ROM and I love it, but the camera won't work. The front camera works absolutely fine, but the back camera won't work when I try to open the stock camera app. I've tried replacing the Slim_ISP's and changing permissions, didn't work. I tried installing a CameraFiles-signed.zip, didn't work. Anything else I can try? I'm on an S3 SPH-L710

I got the same problem.
As I know, there is no solution yet, but you can install the following app to restart the camera itself instead of reboot your phone

I am having the same exact issue, has this been solved? I have tried a number of fixes that i found on xda and google but with no luck. I originally got the issue after flashing hyperdrive and thought it was rom related and switched to skyfall but no change. I have also tried wiping several times and fixing permissions, removing the transparent weather widget ( i couldnt as it was not installed), unchecking location on stock browser, changing to High accuracy. It was working fine before hyperdrive. The only thing i have not tried is wiping and flashing stock but it might be the only option at this point. I dont think its hardware as it was working fine before hyperdrive and it has not been dropped. What is the best or most effective way of wiping to stock and getting back to skyfall? I am running the AT&T galaxy s4 I337 on mdl boot, with nb1 modem, philz recovery and stock kernel from skyfall but I have also tried ktoon kernel. Thanks

I've had the same issue using various KK 4.4.2 ROMs with Safe Strap. I've tried everything imaginable to fix it and positive the problem lies with the beta version of SafeStrap or ROM implementation.

Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing these issues but i dont think it is caused by SafeStrap for me because i have never used it. So I guess it has to do with the rom implementation. Would you happen to know what the most up to date stock rooted odin package is that i can use to flash to stock and then get back to skyfall or goldeneye? I did not flash any over the air and do not use safe strap. Thanks

LG G2 Cannot connect to camera

Had this phone for about 1 week now. Everything been fine until today. I tried to take a few pictures, but I couldn't. Received an a pop up with "Cannot connect to camera" I'm not sure what's causing this issue, I cleared the data/cache on it and still occurs. Is there any solution to this issue?
Thank you.

I have exactly the same situation.. But it's weird - ported LGCamera works without errors, other apps (market or aosp based) throw error. Sometime clear app data help, but only sometimes..
It could be hardware problem?

I've had this happen when I was on an older CM11 nightly.I did have to preform a clean install to fix the problem.

18/03? It didn't helped.. I was testing old and newest ROMs - same situation I think it could be some hardware problem - currently I have version from Singapore build at 02/2014
EDIT#1
Weird.. I will go back to stock - test, then install custom ROM.. Something go wrong - when I'm using ported LGCamera.apk in CM/Slim/PA it's working, other camera apps - don't..

I guess I found out the issue of why it was being caused. I also have a Nexus 5 and both had the APP Flashlight by Go Launcher. Seems to me when I downloaded and used it couple of times it caused my camera not to work on both phone. Uninstalled it and now it's working fine with now issues. I'm not sure if you guys also have a flashlight app, but maybe you can give it a try.

I got a replacement g2 from my insuarance and from the box mine done the same thing i tried every app i could find one day i flashed a diffrent rom and was bored. Clicked on my cam and it worked went back to my stock backup for my updatez and it wouldnt connect found out its was a software isse broken software from the factory i put a new stock rooted rom on and good as new. Mine was down. For about a month whrn i notticex what was wrong i thouvht i had a hardware failure but it wasnt there is always a chance of a bad cam but also some app like certain flashlights do take over your hardware if uve rooted and the phone is new goback stock unroot and have swapped

I'm on stock KK right now = 0 problems, so I think it's not hardware. LG camera and other apps always working fine.
Now I will go back to AOSP and test apps again

Hello,
Did you go back to aosp ? Is the camera ok now ?
Thanks

Here's a thought. After a new rom anybody feel there is a dial pad code to bridge the connection gap.

help, question

THANKS，I got the same problem and after I deleted the Go Flashlight the camera worked again!

Same issue. Go flashlight solved thanks to this thread.

Having similar issue. Flashed a new bootstack and camera stopped working. Factory reset, fresh install tot, then kdz, then cloudy g3. Camera still force closes and other camera apps can't connect. I can take one picture after a fresh install (which I did three times flashing from tot...).

[Q] Quick Remote + IR Blaster not working after root.

I rooted my LG G2 but I am still on Stock Rom. However since after rooting the IR Blaster has not worked. Has anyone got any solutions?
I have tried a Factory Reset with no luck.
I am on the International Variant (D802) on KitKat including the Knock Code Update.

That is weird. Rooting by itself cannot cause this type of problem, my phone is rooted and everything works fine. Here is what you can try:
1. Did you freeze/delete QuickSet SDK from the phone? Because it's essential for the Quick Remote.
2. Take another phone, turn on the camera and point it at the IR blaster on the top of your phone and try pressing some buttons in the Quick Remote app. In the camera viewfinder of the second phone you should see as if a light is blinking in the blaster of your G2 (because phone cameras can pickup infrared light to some extent). If it's blinking, you have a software glitch or messed up codes for your remotes, I'd suggest reprogramming it. If it doesn't blink, either the app can't reach the blaster or the blaster itself is dead, in case of which you should restore your phone to stock and send it in for warranty repairs.

Stupid question, but did you try it before you rooted? Could it be a hardware issue?

Can't get front camera to work! (logcat now enclosed)

Ever since I made the jump from Beanstalk to 4.4.4+ roms, my front-facing camera hasn't worked.
I flashed to SlimKat (7.0 and 7.8 weekly) and had no front-facing camera and data issues. I flashed a new modem and Kernel but to no avail.
I then had issues with sound (not having any) and reverted back to beanstalk and flashed MF9 back onto it. I was told that I "messed up [my] modem / LTE drivers and bootloader," and to "google it"... Didn't find much.
I then gave up and decided to move over to Alucard CM12 and eventually just vanilla CM12 , but none of them would work!
I even flashed every single modem from here and it did nothing.
Today I got really frustrated and flashed the entire stock firmwares of MF9, MDC, and MDL. and when those didn't work, I allowed auto-update to do its thing and update to the latest firmware as some people were saying this worked (I don't even care about KNOX anymore), but it didn't help.
And yes, I've tried all the tricks like wipe cache, clear camera app data, etc.
PLEASE HELP x__x

I just used this guide to manually unplug and re-plug my front-facing camera module... Cleared app data and did factory reset, and still not working... The camera module itself looks fine (so does the ribbon cable... I could buy a new camera module and test it out, but I'm still pretty sure this is a software issue somehow.
I just rooted my phone via TWRP and my logcat for the issue is attached.
I would be very greatful for any and all help, as I'm getting married and going on my honeymoon in less than 2 weeks and want to take lots of pictures without snatching my wife's phone from her.
