hey guys. My S4 recently have some problem with the front camera. I cant open my front camera because it shows a warning that say camera failed. i have try to clear data of camera at application manager, wipe cache in recovery mode and reset factory setting. when i asked at a local service center , they said it is the software problem but they cant do it.. Can any of you guys help me to sort out this problem?
Thank You
Reinstall Android OS.
If this not help you, you have a hardware problem. You need to change the camera.
Thanks
thanks for your reply ,but i have already flash stock rom and same things happened..
If same thing happens with alternative camera apps (from google store for exemple), then i think it's a hardware problem (might be a communication between components)

I just got my S4 from koodo and i can't get the camera to work keep getting camera failed error and black screen, I've have tried everything cleared the cache and factory rest the phone. The thing that really sucks is a just got a sim unlock code, i guess i should of tried the camera as soon as i got it. Is there anything i could do that could help that i have not tried ?

Have you tried re-installing the factory stock firmware via ODIN or Kies? You can find more info on it in the Development section. If that doesn't work I think you may have some hardware / warranty related issues. Good luck.
You can also try to download a camera app from the Play store and see if the camera functions OK with a different App.

Tried some apps but they lockup as well, I am going to try and re install the firmware.
My samsung galaxy grand prime's camera stopped working.
Whenever I open the camera app, only the following message shows:
Media Sever failed. Camera needs restart.
I have made Factory data rest. But camera does not work.
Plz help with this.
Try flashing stock firmware...if the issue still persists it could be a hardware issue...hope your warranty is still valid

Pull out your SD Card. Backup all its data. Wipe it and reformat it to FAT.Reinsert and it should work now

Hey there,
I just installed the latest CM 12.1 Nightly release on my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 and the camera doesn't seem to work. It just pops up a message saying "Cannot connect to camera." and the app closes. I tried downloading other camera apps such as Cymera, Google Camera, etc. but it doesn't seem to help. I also tried the CM 12 Camera fix application over the PlayStore but that doesn't seem to help either. I tried using another rom by the name "Euphoria" for my phone and the camera seemed to be working fine there but with other major issues in the rom itself.
I'd appreciate any help on the topic.
Camera issues are a well-known problem with Cyanogenmod, due to incomplete driver support. Reboot your device to reenable the camera, and download an app like CameraMX that includes its own binaries to control the camera. Try not to use the stock camera.

Thank you for the reply.
I did try installing the 'CameraMX' and also 'Camera Ultimate 360' but both of them don't seem to work either. I don't get any camera error pop-ups and it is the only difference, I could witness from the stock camera app but, the camera is just a black screen in those apps. I guess I will have to stick with the nightly updates in hope for a camera fix.
EDIT : Rebooting my phone doesn't help either.
me 2 i installed android 7.1.2 and some while she stopped work and also the flash camera
My Yu yureka rear camera is not working since last 3 months, though front camera is ok. Then, contacted Yu support and as per their suggestions done hard reset, checked in safe mode, but nothing helped.
After googling regarding the issue, i found a post and as per the post, please guide me installing TWPR, clear cache, dalvik, system and data and doing a clean flash of Cyanogen OS. I don't possess any knowledge about customer ROM, recovery etc., so plz help me in this regard.
thanks.
1. install google camera from apkmirror.com but, install the correct one ..see the minimum version requirement.
2.using lucky patcher push the app in system as default camera.
and using system app remover ( download it from playstore) remove the stock camera..
and believe me, the google camera is much, muche stable and better than stock camera..
but do not install google camera from playstore. =)
Hello guys,
i've bought the p8lite from a few days and it was working great.
Suddendly the camera has stopped working. I keep getting the message "Impossibile avviare la fotocamera, verificare che non siano in esecuzione applicazioni esterne in background (come torcia elettrica). Chiudere le applicazioni in questione e riprovare.".
Translated is like "Unable to start camera, check that there aren't any external app in background (such as torch). Close those apps and try again"
I've not installed any app yet, nor I have rooted or flashed the phone so I really don't know what to do with it.
Help me please!
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Hi, same problem here. I have ALE-04 version (android 5.1)
i tried:
*clean app data/cache: didnt work
*wipe cache/date partition from recovery: didnt work
*factory reset: didnt work
*downgrade to android 4: didnt work
*upgrade again to android 5: didnt work
*close apps like flashligth: didnt work

Hi,
I had to send the phone back and get it replaced cause it was a hardware problem.
Hope it helps
thanks! but send my phone to USA service is very expensive to me. I had bad luck because my phone has no more than a year.
i will keep trying to repair it.

Maybe flashing twrp and flashing B598/599 stock will help.
Also, when you open the camera app you hear a sound from the actual camera (the lens) ?
I had a similar issue. When I installed a new update etc. the phone was fine. However after switching Google Now Voice (I mean saying ,,Ok Google" from ANY screen) it didn't go well with other apps - in my case it was Camera. So switching Google Ok Voice off helped me. But I'm not really sure, whether it's a same case. Maybe some third party app is blocking something? Good Luck!
im embarrased because camera app works sometimes, i mean, usually works 1 day or less and then shows error msg.
Yesterday i restarted my phone (normal restart) and then started to work. So i do not lose hope
