I have Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505.
Whenever I open camera app , it shows me a message that the camera firmware is being updated... I let it do the job for 2 or 3 minutes, and then the camera app closes. If I try to run it again, the process repeats.
I updated to Lollipop (also I had the same problems before that update), and reset to factory settings once, and none of that seems to help.
Front camera works without any issues.
I wanted to check camera firmware version and in the picture you can see that it says "null".

Do you have any solution for this? I think that camera module works because sometimes the device can take images for a minute.

Update your firmware via Odin, download the latest rom you find in sammobile for you phone and flash it. If it doesn't work try a new kernel.
Is there a way to solve this problem without flashing custom rom?

It's not custom and it will NOT trigger Knox. Download the firmware that matches your country and carrier from sammobile.
I did what you said with ODIN. Camera is still not working
Same Problem

I have the exact same problem, just started in the last week - I even did a factory reset and tested a known good camera module and the problem persists. I'm running a I9505G (GPE version, unrooted, stock) on 5.0. I've tried everything and there are quite a few similar posts from the last month or so regarding the same issue. Either some type of software rollout is causing this or our boards are all failing at around the same time.

camera and camcorder was working fine until yesterday...when opening the camera or comcorder the view on screen is upside down. it can take pics but i would need to rotate them.
called T-mobile tech support and they told me they never heard of this issue and asked me to do a factory reset which i did, but i still have the problem. can anyone suggest a fix? does this sounds like a confirmed hardware issue as the reset didnt fix the problem?
P.S. I am running the orginal Andriod 2.1 that came with the phone (not rooted)
thanks
Ash
Maybe you simply turned off the sensor? check under settings - sound n' display
thanks for your response but in Android 2.1 i cant find no such thing,
Mine is 2.1 too, but german. If the marked selection is unchecked, rotation for pictures shouldn't work.

yes i did try that and the camera is still upside down
Well...shake it?
Seriously, if nothing works, try to wipe it or flash new rom. That fixes most of the problems.
i did shake it... i tried all of that thanks. this is very odd
as I stated i did wipe it. and its still upside down
When youre using the browser, are the pages upside-down as well?
no everything else works fine, only the camera and the camcorder is upside down
A friend of mine have this issue too and someone told him it's a problem with then autofocus module.
You think it's possible?
hi
who was that someone that told him?
when I 1st reported this issue , no one heard of it. not even T-mobile or Motorola. but today it seems I am hearing more and more people with this problem. i dont think there is software fix. it would have to be replaced. what a pain
I don't know precisely ... I think it is a technician in a shop.
Tried other camera apps??
Swyped from my DroidDefy using xda Premium app
Yes, but it's always upside down...
Yesterday my Defy started to do the same weird ****.
After some googling I found:
Open a Terminal App on the phone and type this: (you must have root)
Code:
su
rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*
reboot
Now reboot.
What that does is rebuild a proper accelerometer settings file.

This solution was not really for the defy (but for the backflip), but I found out other people have the same problem, not only with the defy. Most of the time they run Android 2.1. So do I, dutch version and not rooted.
Anyone an idea?

If you have already done a factory reset and it didn't work then this code won't work as well. You may try flashing a 2.2 Rom and if the problem still occurs then you should send it to repair. Have it ever worked correctly?

I have not yet performed a factory reset. I still need to google how to perfotm it.
Everything worked perfectly up until yesterday.
edit: flashed it to 2.2 and still not working. Getting desperate
Have you wiped after flashing 2.2 rom?
Yup, but it had no effect. Guess ill need to send it over.
Hi guys,
My Galaxy S4 (i9500) was working properly on Android 4.3 official, then I flash the Indian 4.4.2 (Oficial) and now every sensor and the front facing camera stopped working. All sensors are listes on CPU-Z, but none of them show any activity.. I've flash 2 custom ROMs trying to fix it but no luck after all.
Someone have a clue on what can I do to fix it?

Long story bro, summing it, I just bought this phone used for a real small value, the person who sold me said that this was what happened, he flashed the Indian ROM and things stopped working. When he flashed it there was no oficial Brazilian ROM, thats why he flashed the Indian one. I'm at work and can't flash a original ROM right now since it requires PC connection and I can't connect it at company's PCs. So I wanted to make sure it's really a software problem not hardware, what do you think? All sensors show up at CPU-Z, they're just not working.

1. Only I hope the sensor apps are ticked/actived in settings
2. I think u have to try to flash the brazilian stock rom and we will see. Im thinking this person lied and sold u a faulty S4. But im not there, we will make some tests for verify

Well since I paid a real low price for that, would still worth it even if all these sensors are broken, but since they are reconized by the apps, I think they're working, just need to "configure" them. I'll try flashing this ROM when I get to home, bad thing I still have 12 longs hours before it hehe
But thank you anyways, I'll try that at home and let you know.
I have a Note 3 N9005 which was working perfectly fine until fews days back it's display started showing this pattern (as shown in photo). It gets normal, once I restart the phone.
So guys I want to know whether it is a hardware issue or is it some problem with my ROM?
PS. Im running it on official Lollipop ROM flashed using Odin, but not updated OTA.

That doesn't look good at all mate. Seems like something wrong with the panel, hardware, yes. Because no ROM is out there which could create a mess like that. But I would be more than happy to be wrong.

You may have some corrupted system files.
- Please factory reset your phone (through android settings), flash ROM again (KSA or NEE lollipops are fine), reset your phone again, this time in recovery.
- If again doesn't work, remove battery from your phone, keep pressing your power button, and leave it without battery for a few hours.
Place your battery back in and hope for the best.
- You may also consider also that your battery may be defective.
- If nothing solved your problem, try reverting back to KitKat.
If after all these options, nothing solved your problem, that it's very likely to be hardware related.

I have the exact same issue, initially it was just a few lines not the complete screen, but now its exactly the same case as of your's. I am sure its a hardware issue, i have tried everything format, stock, reset knox etc. nothing worked. it started after a few "very humid" rainy days, so i guess it is due to humidity, i am thinking of a screen replacement.
what have you done till now?
I just took the phone to a local repair shop. The guy replaced the main board and it just worked perfectly.
The problem was basically with the board and not with the screen or ribbon.
I was offered repair of the current board for 40$ and replacement of the board for 100$.

I tried Stock India latest firmware for Android 6.0.1. I also tried, Stock Singapore latest firmware for Android 5.1.1. Both didn't work, gave same error.
Hmm, don't know then mate, it should have worked. Maybe others can help you.
Try someone who can flash with jtag. I had the same problem and no matter what i did, it led me to flash a pit file and brick mine forever. Now my last hope is a guy who can flash with jtag coz my N910F wont even start. Unfortunantely its vacation period so i have to wait for him to be back. Good luck my friend. Keep us posted.

The guy at the phone shop (in Singapore) told me that it'll cost about USD$120 to replace the mainboard of the Note 4. Apparently, there are a lot of such failing recently till the mainboard is out of stock. Will need 1 week for the mainboard to come.
Anybody encounter similar problem?
Just curious, does anybody has the solution?
Ok. I guess it is a hardware failure already.

Currently, 334 is the latest firmware version.
I have the same model and had this issue on the firmware version you mentioned above. If you are not getting the Ota update of the latest firmware 334 which I just got today. You can download the 331 firmware from the link below.
Then put that downloaded firmware in your phone's sdcard root directory (not in any folder)
Then restart the phone.
You will get the update notification.
Install the update then your Problem will be solved.
