It is the official camera application. Flashing this will rule out the possibility of software issues.

If it doesn't work, then it probably is a hardware problem and you will need to go to a service center in that case.
Flash the package from recovery.
Make a backup first.
Don't hesitate to hit the thanks button.

It is easy to tear down the galaxy s4 camera. So you can try to use a new camera or a camera from others' S4 to test whether the hardware has problem or not.

He is not even rooting his phone and you expect him to tear open up his phone? -_-
Frankly speaking, I will NOT recommended him to do it himself as he has no experience of it and will most definitely destroy his phone in the process.

Yes.He can try to rooting his phone. But it is really not a hard task to open up the S4. I don't think that will destroy the phone.

just updated to 4.4.2. problem still persists.

Can we develop a temp boot for gs4?

Has anyone developed a temp boot that would allow us to temporarily boot to stock of the storage card similar to the galaxy s2 could.

I'm interested in trying that out, but at the same time, kind of hesitant. It would be nice to have both Sacs and CM11 at the same time though!

Dang. That's a bummer. Honestly, I'd say wait for update. Does the YouTube mobile site work in your browser? If so, you can just use that for the time being.

You need to go to build prop and edit mm.enable.smooth streaming to FALSE.
That'll fix it
