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.

Heeeelp...urgent ( Ill even paypal anyone that helps me )

Hey everyone I need some urgent help before I leave in 6 hours for a business trip ( and I NEED a working phone )
Long story short I was running Task650's rom with no issues for about 3-4 weeks
2 days ago my phone was just ripping through battery ( 100-0% in 2 hours ) Did some investigating and "mediascannerservice" was running none stop. I couldn't figure out why or how to fix it.
format, wiped / reset and clear cache and davik..installed the same rom
Same issue.
this time I formatted everything ( system, data, cache, sd card ) ( I had everything off that I wanted to keep )
Flashed a 4.3 rom and I couldn't install any packages ( mostly google packages like chrome and G+ ) I kept getting "package file is invalid" I did all the tricks I found online that people used to fix it...but no avail. So I thought it was a 4.3 thing.
did another wipe / format etc
I went back to Task650s rom which is a 4.2.2 rom ( that worked fine installing apps ) and I'm getting the same error ( package file is invalid )
What could be the issue? How can I fix it? What did I mess up?
any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll paypal anyone if they help me.

If you're still running tasks aokp, there is an option in developer settings to disable media scanner on boot. Try disabling it and see if it stops the drain

I found some other options and posted them in the other thread.
Clearing Play Store app cache and data and even uninstalling Play Store updates are other options.
Been Googling the heck out of this for a while now as I had the issue briefly, but toggling the Verify app selection worked for me.

I'm out of ideas, but if you can manage to deal with the redundancy of a Google search, there seems to be about a dozen different ways to get past the issue.
I had that issue once yesterday while my phone tried doing an auto-update. No issues today. I was on 4.3 KB.

Man this sucks. I'm temped to ODIN back to stock and start fresh.
Try installing Hotspot Shield VPN and installing updates with it connected - worked for both my phone and my wives...it is the only thing that seems to resolve this issue - and I've been trouble shooting it for about 24 hours now. If you can't get Hotspot Shield to install, try Hideman VPN. Works just as well, but it has limited use. I had to disable wifi to get them to install.
If that works for you - I can send paypal info

did you ever answer if you had an i337 or i337m?
I use OUDhs recovery and I have been using Task 650's AOKP ROM without issue.
You must do the following:
Flash the OUDhs recovery if you dont' have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291956
Per Task's Thread -
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache (found in advanced)
format system (do this again anyway)
format data (do this again anyway)
fix permissions (found in advanced)
Flash the AOKP ROM
You can now wipe both cache again or just reboot.

[Q] Action memo recognition issue

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has experienced crashing with action memo. I had no issues initially however the last couple days whenever I write something and try to use "link to action" I get recognition failed msg or the app gets stuck on recognising and l have to restart the phone. l've tried clearing app data but that didn't help. Guess I'll try a factory reset next.
yes man same here... after updating to MK2 firmware ... now am facing this issue... any solution dude? I've tried to wipe data and cache and the issue persist....

If pictures & music is in Ext. SD Card than it will not erase as factory reset only erase Internal memory.
factory reset is not solving issue
Hi all,
I am using diamond rim 5.1 on note 2. I have the exact same issue. I have done factory reset . But the issue still persists. Is there anything else I could try?
I know this is an old thread but for anyone having this problem just go to Samsung keyboard languages and update the language and kaboom

"Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" error message on boot
Hey guys,
After flashing the 4.4.2 firmware to my Note 3, I get the following error message once the device turns on: "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I can just click ok and the message goes away but it shouldn't be appearing in the first place so does anyone know how to make it go away?
Thanks!

Only known solution I have on these issues is a factory reset. I don't think there's another way of fixing it. It is always recommended to do a factory reset before flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps

I will give it a try see if it works.
I've tried resetting the phone but the message still appears. I've also tried tr-flashing the rom and that hasn't worked either. What else could it be?
I had this error message the first and the second time I booted my phone when I got it. I haven't seen it since then!
I have Hangouts, messages and S Voice disabled. Not sure if it has something to do with those apps...
Same issue...I have tried all full wipe, full reset, stock 4.4.2, leak, but still have that problem
I had the same issue. I did go to recovery and format everything in internal memory. Then, installed Kitkat from PC Odin...
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Had the exactly same issue, I did a factory reset and it worked.
On similar problems with upgrades on both the S4 and S3 this have helped:
Go to phone settings-->More, then select Date and Time. Change the date format to something else then change it back to the format you wanted. Save and go back.
I have no idea if this will help on this problem but it might be a thing to try instead of a factoryreset
same problem here

I've a Samsung galaxy exhibit t599n also got scanned by odin pro but can't post the results...
This error is usually linked to Facebook contact sync...
Does it also occur after a full wipe without installing/restoring any apps, accounts or contacts?
Also, test a different SIM, it might be malfunctioning.

try doing a factory reset, if this does not work then try flashing a different 4.4.2 or re-downloading the one you flashed and trying again.

you have already downloaded and installed a different version of 4.4.2????
if you are getting the problem on multiple roms then you must be doing something wrong during the flashing process.

my friend
don't try to reset , wipe any thing .
i have same problem and posted before : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620340
i asked from all kings of developing , but no one could help me .
i searched on google and found out that problem maybe cause of our sim-card . maybe changing sim card your problem will be solved.
i'm almost confident that is cause of baseband " NA6" and we should wait for 4.4.2 for our region with different baseband .
be aware , this problem is with u even when try any custom rom , cause all af the are using NA5 and NA6 .
just crossing your finger and wait for new and diffrent baseban version my friend .

Are you rooted with any changes?
Sent from my Note 3...making all others drool!
I had the same type of problem myself,
But on my HTC one. I was close to start the painful process of unrooting my device and go back to stock.
My problem was not having ANY network & using the phone or sms didn't work at all. I read many "solutions" on the internet but none helped.
I experimented myself and found a solution to my problem. If it can help others as well I am glad.
First go into settings, then apps.
Scroll to all applications, search for phone.apk - if you have an option to uninstall phone.apk to previous version/state do this. Reboot the phone. In my case this did the trick and everything is working properly. Hope it helps others as well.
Please respond if you tried and it worked. It may be helpful for others too.

And when I tried to factory reset the LG L70, that's when I get the error message Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working. Then I reset the phone back to Davik with no success. Is there a solution to fix this problem without using a PC? I can't even download anything because I can't sign in to my Google account. And trying to download direct the phone will not open any files, even the files I've saved on my SD Card. Please help. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

Try wiping cache, dalvik cache, system data and then factory reset (all this from recovery). I don't own a LG phone but this process is the same for almost all phones I think.
how did you erase the cache/dalvik in this situation

How did you wipe the cache/dalvik in this situation. I can't even reinstall anything to re-root the phone. And there is no keyboard that I can type on. The only way that I can communicate with the phone is to speak through voice mode. And that isn't always a good experience.
