[Q] Camera error - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Sometimes when i open my camera app it says Warning CAMERA FAILED and only thing i can do is to tap on accept. If i try to clear cache and data it's the same. I have to reboot the phone... sometimes after reboot all is good but sometimes don't. I have to reboot 2 or 3 times to get camera working again. If my phone doesn't power off the camera works as it should but if the phone is turned off rebooted etc, the camera sometimes work sometimes don't and i have to start again....
Anyone have this problem?

[Q] I9505 Camera Problems

Good Mording,
i always have problems with the camera from my phone.
When i use the phone more than one day, the camera doesn't work (doesn't show a picture; app very slow and hangs).
If i clear app data, dalvik cache and cache the camera works again but after several hours (0.5 to 5) the camera doesn't work again.
Is this a hardware error from my phone and what can i do against this problem?
How can i provide a log file for the camera application??
Phone specs:
Bootloader: MGA without KNOX
PDA: XXUFNB9 (4.4.2) (Goldeneye V23)
Modem: XXUFNB8
Kernel: Talexop
Other Problems: none since android 4.3 (except with old MGA Firmware (4.2.2) the phone had lags because of the sd card)
I tried also CM11 last week and i had the same problem after several minutes.
Many thanks in advance.
Alex

Same here on the SM-N9005 LTE. I've wiped the whole phone, took out the ext sd card, went back to several different stock firmwares and still crashes. Pictures work fine, as soon as press the video recording button it freezes and a few seconds later it reboots the phone.
I'm afraid this will be a hardware issue....

I was able to solve it by going back to the stock kitkat (4.4.2) rom through ODIN. There my camera was recording video perfectly fine. I then updated to Lollipop again and the camera (video recording) was still working fine. Very strange as I wiped/reflashed several times before downgrading to kitkat and that never worked.
recording failed on any lolipop rom
i have a same problem here. I dont think it was a hardware issue as when i was in KK the video recording works perfectly, but when i flash ANYKIND of lolipop rom, the video recording failed. but if i was to used AOSP lolipop, the video recording works fine.
anyone can help? i've tried searching and all, but doesnt seem to find the solution.
feels like i'm stuck at KK and cant move on. feels like u have a hi tech computer but u only can use windows xp, sad...
much appreciated guys!

Really Nothing
Is there a reason why no one has posted a fix or a how to for this I have seen the Update bootloader and CP but in my attempts to do this Odin has failed I have done everything under the sun to try and fix this and nothing I have looked up and down on Google, Androidpit, and obviouslt here on XDA and I have found nothing does any one want to lend a hand here or does no one really know how to fix it????
There's a solution in this thread
Well downgrading then upgrading seems like a bit of a hail Mary pass worth trying will update as to whether or not it actually worked thk8gh it sounds more like a one in a million fix.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

Videos and Calling stuck problem

Hello,
I have a very strange problem:
On my galaxy S4 I9505 android version 4.3 if there is a video player available then the app goes stuck, the apps:
- Youtube
- Facebook (app and browser)
- Browser
The videoscreen stays black and the app goes stuck for a while, the video will never play.
The other similair problem if someone call me or if I want to call someone the phone got stuck as well.
I already tried:
- wipe data and cache / factory settings
- wipe full data to install new rom in philz touch recovery
- Install new rom (4.4 and custom 5.0 lollipop)
The problem remains..
Everything else works perfect but this are 2 important thing what needs to work.
Someone have a Idea?
Important to report: I was on custom lollipop and I downgrade it with the downgrade files on this topic because 4.3 has mirrorlink support for my new car.

That problems appears when you try to downgrade your device. Reflash stock android 4.4.2 and your problems will be gone :highfive:
Thanks! Tried a few times to flash it back to this stock rom and 4 times failed! Used differtent versions of odin. 3.09, 3.07, 3.04 and some older one 1.85 or something.
I stopped for a half hour (Phone turned off half hour) tried it again and it worked. Very strange but it works.
Thanks very much!

[GT-I9505] Screen Rotation problem (Lollipop Stock Rom)

I updated lately to the latest Lollipop rom (I9505XXUHOD7 DBT & I9505XXUHOE1 SIO) and all go perfect here less the screen rotation. I mean the toggle is actived but no works (I tried in Gallery and QuickPic app). I'm not a noob flashing ROMs and custom ROMS and YES:
1. Wiped data/Factory reset my device before install Lollipop.
2. I downgraded to android 4.4.2 and the Screen Rotation works perfectly.
3. Dialing *#1234# all seems correct.
4. Do you have the same problem?.
5. Ty for your help :fingers-crossed:.

Strange issue you are having. It's unclear to me if you also wiped the /system partition. That would my place to start.

What about custom roms?
Mostly it's caused by hardware problems. It's maybe worth to see if the connector is still at it's place or maybe dirty. Even if it works in 4.4.2.

[Q] Video recording and video codec problems

I have an extremely persistent set of problems:
1. Unable to record video
- stock camera freezes and the phone restarts (no matter the resolution or storage)
- other camera apps (mx, open, google..) either freezes or acts like its recording but it doesn't
2. While playing some videos, the phone freezes and restarts (in 90% its instagram videos, but sometimes it plays them fine)
What i tried:
- a bunch of roms. The problems probably started with some of them.
- returned to a stock lolipop
- several custom and stock kernels
- a bunch of camera apps
Currently i'm on Audax rom v26.1 with its audax kernel.
Does anyone have idea what could i try?
Could it be a hardware problem? (other than that, camera works fine)
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Sorry, but did not face any issue like that before.
If you have searched a lot for a solution and could not solve it, I suggest that you install this ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/purify-cm-13-hlte-n9005-unofficial-cm13-t3337234
This happened to me once after a terrible mistake , which is not related to my above issue. Then I installed this ROM and never looked back. Much snappier phone, lower battery usage and less heated device. I just love it. The only thing that I missed, the better camera app in the stock ROM, and the TouchWiz ability to show multiple apps at the same time.
I strongly suggest that you do a Nandroid backup then give this ROM a try. If you did not like it, you can always return to the Nandroid backup again.
You are frustrated now, like I was. Take a deep breath, and remember that we all went through such bad times with our phone, not just you. This is part of the experience of using such complicated devices. You will solve it eventually, believe me!
