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

i9505 Camera Problem

Hi! I have a really nasty problem with the camera on my Galaxy S4 i9505. The camera doesn't focus. If I try to focus, the square turns red and if I try to focus again the camera app freezes. I've tried to install a new Rom, original and custom, I've tried to downgrade form 4.4.2 to 4.3, I've tried another camera app, I've tried to clear all data, factory reset and the most important I've changed the camera and still doesn't work. The only app where camera works is Optical Reader. What can I do more to fix it? Please, help me!
Thank you!

Anyone?

Seems like you've tried everything I would personally try.
The only suggestion I have is re-installing stock firmware via odin opposed to custom roms? As in go to the official Samsung firmware pages and download the version of your choice which will completely clear everything. Perhaps that could fix the bug? Just be sure to back everything up (Contacts, files) to a pc as it wipes all previous data.
Let me know your opinions

I've already tried to flash stock firmware with Odin, from Sammobile. I've only managed to flash 4.4.2 and not 4.3 because of the Knox.

No one encountered this problem?

have you tried the google camera?

Yes, i have tried Google Camera and it is the same.

Seems like your phone has some hardware or camera firmware issues

Yes, camera firmware maybe. But...I did not found any camera firmware to change the current one.

Flooded with bugs :(

Hey folks.
My samsung galaxy s4 i9505 with android 4.4.2 and i have rooted it few times and got back to stock.
The problems i am facing are
1. i lock the screen and then tryna turn back on but it never turns back on i have to continuously press the home screen in order to activate samsung s voice which in turn helps me to switch on the screen back. It takes almost a min or so to turn back on.
2.Its geting tooooooooooo slow omg i never expected this to happen.
3.The camera app sucks to the core the "processing" takes almost few seconds to take a pick.
Please help me how do i get rid of these.
I dont know if i can switch the rom to pure android lollipop if thats possible please do guide me to how can i do that.
or please guide me some rom which is prety fast and almost close to pure android which has all the apps installed which are required.

Try a factory reset first.

I know that would temporarily fix my problem but i want that to be fixed permanently brother.

What makes you think its a temporary fix?

I have tried it sir.

Then you are doing something wrong
Setting the phone to the condition you bought it in is not a temporary fix

Did you make modification when you were rooted? That could explain why a factory reset doesn't work. If so, flash a 4.4.2 stock rom.

[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.

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.

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!

Hello,
Did it happen all of a sudden, or?
Do the ringtone/notification/alarm sounds work?
Did you install a specific app?
Did you update something?
Did you try something to fix the issue:
Did you try rebooting?
Wipe cache?
Factory reset?
Flash a factory image?
Downgrade the Android version?
Good luck...

Hey, maybe someone else will come with a better solution. But, if you want to downgrade, you need to unlock your bootloader (it will wipe your data completely, so backup what's important to you). You can find infos on how to unlock your bootloader here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
And flash a factory image from Google. Images and infos regarding flashing can be found here: https://developers.google.com/android/images
Just do a factory reset if you encounter issue. 7.1.2 could conflict with 6.0.1...
Again, wait a little bit before making such radical change. Maybe someone will come with a fix. Sometimes, the solution is right here, but we just don't see it...
Good luck...

Thx mate

If you like to stay stock and use factory image anyway, I would reflash 7.1.2, no need to downgrade, sound works on 7.1.2. if it fails again, then downgrade would be an option .
Maybe it's enough if you reflash the system.img via fastboot.

Haven't noticed any sound issues on 7.1.2. Maybe you have an app installed that doesn't play nice with 7.1.2 and is interfering with the sound drivers, but I don't know how you would find what that could be. You did the obvious and went into settings sound and made sure that all the sound levels were good and that nothing was being muted? You could check the Google support threads and see if anyone is reporting a similar issue or if anyone has any ideas there. I suppose you could also flash a 7.1.1 factory image and see if the issue persists. I'm pretty sure there is a way to boot the 6P up into safe mode, even on pure stock. You could try that and see if the sound problem persists. If not its likely an issue with an app.

thx for answers volks.

I already wrote you what you need to do to downgrade previously...

Hey,
Reading other users reply, 7.1.2 doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Before flashing a 6.x image, unlock the bootloader and try reflashing the 7.1.2 factory image. You can still downgrade afterward... :good:
Good luck...
