Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum and this is my first question here. I hope you bare with me .
Now, I have LG G2 international version. I bought it used and the guy who had it before me told me that it was water damaged and the only thing that didn't worked was the camera. I bought a new one and put it in place today but it still won't work. I can hear the click sound when it turns on but then there is this error message that pops up that says, "Sorry, the camera has stopped". The same error message was also there before I installed the new camera.
Anyone here who have any idea what is wrong? Is there any chance for me to get the camera fixed or is it something else that got damaged when the water hit the phone?

Hi there,
I got a T-mobile MDA for almost a year now. The housing of it is actually a terrible seeing, therefore i had ordered on ebay a housing and got i today by mail. Happily i opened the mda, using the manual of this website and removed everything step by step and installed the new housing.
But here it comes. Everything is installed, turn on the sing louds of a soft reset and the screen doesn't displayes anything. I tought it was my mistake, that i might forgot or had not plugged something the right way in the MDA. Once again i opened it and checked everything, but without succes. The screen does only shows some strange lines with no light, it's verry strange. Can someone help me? It has to be fixed as soon as possible! Thnx in advance
no replies huh? what did it turn out to be if u fixed it, i dont thinkill get replies too..
It's either you have the wrong type of screen or some loose connection.
I bought an ATT 8525 a month ago. Suddenly the camera stopped working.
I got the message "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the device".
I looked for this in the web and could not find much help... seems that Cingular may exchange the unit as solution...
Some said it may be a problem with the SD card (2gb from sandisk).
I tried soft reset, hard reset, re-installing ROM (the one from cingular USA) and nothing seemed to work.
I almost gave up when I found this
I followed the steps and not only got the camera to work but I got a very fast , stable and spanish!! version of windows mobile 6. And with a lot of available memory !
Thanks so much to Schap !
hope this would be useful for those having the camera issue!

ROM Version: Schap's 3.30c
ROM Date: 05/15/07
Radio: 1.41.00.10
Protocol: 32.74.7020.18H
False alarm.
The camera worked for an hour or two... then I started getting the same error.
I did not install anything during that time or change any configuration...
I guess it must be a hardware problem...
any ideas?
Good news!!... (again)
I just downloadedthis cab that says it corrects SC bad management.
After installing the cab... turning off/on the phone... the camera works!!
(I don't know for how long it will work... but at least it is alive! )
Good luck and please share your experience with this cab !!

doesnt matter since our cameras suck anyways
Im just mad cause I parted with my K800i lol
F****'n camera!
I was trying almost everything.... It's still not working at all. Camera just stoped working..soft reset..nothing...hard reset...nothing...I did what Fabian is writing in his posts...nothing...one thing has changed, phone found camera and I have icon of camera in Programs menu, but it still don't work. It don't give me any error raports or something, when I tap on the camera icon it's just don't do nothing so....mayby I should go to church and pray for a miracle because I don't have any other options.
Someone knows any program to find problem? To diagnose or something...
I am sure that problem is in software. I didn't drop phone or damaged him...
I have Sandisk mSD, mayby that is the source of the problem?
Hi,
I know it sounds weird, but I got the camera to work for 2 or 3 days by removing the battery for 5 minutes.
I really don't know which is the trigger that makes the camera stop working, but it seems that removing the battery "cleans" or releases something somewhere.
It's really annoying but at least I found a systematic way to make the camera return to life everytime it dies...
Try this... maybe works for you too...

...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Yo Fabian
That thing with taking off battery don't work on my 8525.
I was trying few combinations of that solution (without mSD cart, with cart in the phone). Life is hard. Nothing helps.
I just looking for software that can tell me what is wrong, but i can't find nothing. Something to check my hardware or something...
Mayby you have any idea how to get any info what to f*** is going on?

Hi
I really tried everything I could...
I've been looking for that tool you mention ... no luck..
Could not find a windows mobile event viewer neither...
I'm thinking on messing around with the c# sdk to debug the camera application ...
I can tell you now after a few days that removing the battery does not always work
My advise... if you're one of those lucky guys that can claim for the warranty... go for it and replace this f... phone!
fabian
Hi Fabian!
I don't have warranty for my phone, I bought it on eBay in USA, I had 7 days to turn it back if there were something wrong with that....camera stoped working after 9 days. Worst thing is that now I am in Poland and I even can't find any place where someone could repair that phone for me.
Thanks for wasting your time for me!
I'll not surrender and I will try to find solution!
Someone must know what to f**** is going on!
Few guys telling that problem could be with Sandisk mSD. And that could be true, because I remember that after I bought that card camera stoped working.
When I will have some more time I will hard reset PDA or something with taking off mSD from PDA before doing that. Mayby that is the solution. We will see...
Thanks one more time Fabian
C U at the next post!

Help! after an hour outside i wanted to use my phone and it returned the message "missing SIM" with the missing sim symbol in the top bar.
this has happened before, and the phone also shuts off by itself. it went of to a "repair" shop(for 4 wks), only to return with the message: OS reloaded.
Now it happend again, and in the meantime i received a link from a friend for this website.
i have tried soft and hard reset, it did not help. has anyone else got experience with this problem? was it due to moisture collection in the phone? (cold outside, phone was shielded) or too much temp. difference?
Thanks
It's a done deal
Well just had news from the shop, they now replaced the main board, and last repair they replaced the front and screen... short of the back that makes a whole new phone doesn't it?
a saw thru the many reply's that it is a common fault..
Soon i will put my hands to work on a new ROM load. lets see if that works
CASE CLOSED.
I got the message "warning camera failed" and black screen on my gs4 on the latest firmware from btu uk unlocked. Anyone think it's hardware or software? It's happened three times but now seems ok. But I'm worried it may happen again after my 14 day exchange window.
Please give any advice
Thanks
Bump please help
This happened with my camera out of the box, went back straight away, camera fault, hardware related. Hope this helps,
Hi I own a galaxy i9500 (kitkat)! Every time I try to take a photo with my front camera, my phone freezes , and a warning box appear ("camera fail").
All this start to happen after i get my phone rooted, i ve been reading a lot, in many places i ve told that could be hardware issue but, im almost sure is something related to software o camera firm (i really hope that! I live in argentina and the camera replacement is really expensive and hard to get).
i search in google and i get some firms to update another smartphones, but nothing for S4, im really noob so hope you can help me.
Hope you can help me with this, if you have this problem and you fix it tell me how!
Try flashing a stock firmware with odin (plenty of guides available on site).
Once everything is stock then see if camera is working, if it is then was a software issue if not working then its hardware and a repair maybe in order.
Did you remove all knox related apps after rooting?
