IR Blaster problem

So I've just noticed this on Sac's v3 (4.3), but my IR blaster isnt working with WatchOn or any other app. I tried using my wifes iphone camera to see if it's showing any light out of the Blaster, but I didnt see anything. I tried running a backup of Sac's v8, a clean install, and Triforce, and none of those work either.
Any suggestions? Should I try odin'ing back to stock? Or is it just broken

Anyone have any input? I tried to Odin back to the stock rooted without wiping data, but no go, still didn't resolve. No roms work with it, I don't see it light up using other cameras that I know don't have an infrared filter.

Checked mine, works on MJA stock rooted.

I just noticed my ir blaster isn't working either I went back to a stock Rom it worked then stopped again about 30 minutes after. I'm not sure if it's the update that caused it to stop but it isn't working.

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...).

Microphone stopped working

For some reason my microphone on my D801 Lg G2 stopped working. This happened completely randomly, attaching an external microphone to it does not work either. I've tried flashing the stock 4.2.2 firmware onto it and upgrading to the latest firmware but no luck.
My brother has the same model G2 as me as well so I tried switching only the motherboards with his phone, turns out the mic still doesn't detect anything. I honestly don't know what else to try.
Does anyone have any suggestions on things to try/flash to get it to start working again, any advice would be helpful.

if it is a hardware issue than no flashing is going to fix the problem

Flash the ROM again to fix your WiFi. While the ROM may help, I believe your camera problem is a hardware issue. You'll have to replace the camera module.

ok i just updated 5.0.1 . and how to flash rom via odin?

Flashing a custom ROM won't help fix your WiFi. You need to flash a stock ROM through Odin, and there are threads in the S4 forums which explain how to flash a ROM. Please use the search engine to find it.

Same Problem...
Just noticed this problem 3-4 days ago. I've done a factory reset and also tested a known working rear camera in my phone - I still get an updating firmware message or can't connect to camera message when I open the camera app. Also, the flashlight won't work and disappears from the pull-down menu in Lollipop. I'm unrooted on an I9505G (GPE S4) running 5.0. Not having any other issues with the phone and have tried re-seating the rear camera on the pins over a dozen times. Cleared cache /data from the camera app, uninstalled upadates, etc. I'm stuck. My best guess is either the board, or software related and I haven't figured it out.

With the OP, once firmware had been ruled out as a problem, the only thing remaining would be a motherboard issue. He had already replaced his camera module.

i just want my camera to work no matter wifi work or not. i m stock lollipop
so kindly suggest me something for camera. btw today i will try to flash ro

Take your S4 in for service. If you've updated the ROM and still do not have a working camera, you have a problem with the motherboard, not the camera module.

camera problem in H873 (Canadian) model

I've seen the camera be functional a few times (usually right after rebooting) but 99% of the time the camera or flashlight doesn't work on any app that I try it on. I'm sure it's a software issue but has anyone had an issue like this and know how to fix it? Thanks

I have a H873 on the latest firmware (i).
Never had a problem with the camera.
Logical attempt to see of it's hardware or software is to backup all data, then reset phone, then try.
If that doesn't work, reflash original firmware, try.
If that doesn't work, probably dead camera.
