Camera just displaying black? - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried other camera apps., tried uninstalling and reinstalling the moto camera app, reboot, nothing. Wiped cache of the app as well.
Going to try other things as well but really hope the camera itself isn't broken.

I accidently factory resetted in TWRP.... anyway, the camera still display black ****, I think it's broken

[Q] Camera crashes immediately

Running 2.2 OTA, never had anything else. I tried a Factory Data Reset, but still have the same thing. Camera opens and then immediately closes itself. Same for the camcorder. I downloaded Retro Camera and can take pictures, so I know the hardware works.
Anyone got any ideas? Would an .SBF flash fix this? New rom maybe?
I would settle for the stock android camera and 5mp pictures right now.
My sister's wedding is this weekend, I would like to take pictures with my phone.
Thanks in advance!!
Found a solution. Flashed this 2.2 camera ZIP.
If anyone else needs it link is here: LINK
Yeah the same thing happened to me just out of no where the camera and camera would not open. Just opened to black screen and back to home immediately. I tried downloading few camera apps from market same thing pulled the battery and nothing. Second battery pull worked though...very weird.
Check the memory card. Take it out and put it back in. Someone at work has a Droid and his was doing the same thing and I reseated the memory card and it fixed the problem. It was like it was loose.
This happened to me after going two weeks without rebooting, but a quick reboot solved the problem

For others having this, try clearing data and cache for the camera app:
Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> all tab> Camera
Force stop, Clear data, Clear cache.
HTH!

[Q] camera shows black screen

Got my nexus 7 and found out that camera apps show black screen. Tried rebooting, clearing cache, different camera apps, wiping cache partition, hard reset, but nothing helped. Is there anything else what I can try to fix this?
I just picked up a nexus 7 and have the same problem. I tried a few camera programs from the play store too.

[Q] Camera does not work after the last update

Please help me or assist me with fixing my phone camera. I am a noob to Android phones but I'm technical (MCSE,CNE, A+,Security+)
Problem:
My SGH-I337 is about 2 months old. I applied the UCUAMF3 update OTA and afterwards everything worked fine but I found the camera program took a long time to load and would only display a black screen. I would have to restart the phone and launch the camera first to get it to work. Today I continued to have this problem but could never get the camera to work. It would only display a black screen and I can touch the screen and see the focus square and I can select settings and change mode but it takes a long time. There is about a 15-30 second delay after touching a menu option on the screen. At first I was able to switch to the rear (screen) camera and it would work but eventually that stopped. If I let it sit on the screen with the camera I will here a beep every so often but it may be because I've touched the buttons. Everything else works fine and I have no problem with anything except the camera app or any app that tries to use the camera like Amazon to scan a barcode or Facebook to take a picture. Usually these apps become unresponsive and then quit. A couple times I got a message that said Camera Failed.
Things I tried:
Rebooting and removing battery
booting in to safe mode and the problem is the exact same
Force stoping camera app and doing a clear data and clear cache
Wiping cache partition.
Phone:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Update applied OTA on approximately 7/10
JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
also tried factory reset
I also did a factory reset and the camera will not work. Only a black screen.

I'm starting to think this may be a hardware problem..

fyi: I had exactly the same problem before the update.
After the update, the problem persisted. I did a hard reset after updating and the problem went away. The problem has not returned since.

when you say hard reset is that the same thing as restoring to factory defaults?

Yes. I went into Settings>Accounts>Backup and reset>Factory data reset
Hardware or Software
So far I've done the hard reset twice via the hardware buttons and once from the software. I'm still puzzled if this is hardware or software. I read that the july update had new camera firmware and that is when my problem started. But since everyone is not having this problem I would guess it isn't a widespread. Still not sure if it is hardware or software. Which I could re-apply that July ROM again to see if that fixes it.

Camera Crash Issue

Hi everyone!! I am having camera crash issue with my Oneplus 5. It crashes every time I open the camera app. It opens for 5-6 seconds and crashes each time. I tried clearing data of camera and also clearing cache from recovery, but no luck. I have tried hard reset the phone, re-locked the bootloader, completely back to stock, but still no luck with camera, it still crashes. Recently, I tried open beta with android 9, but still same with the camera.
Does/did anyone have such problem with the phone? Any solution would be highly appreciated.
I have attached the video her,. http://drive.google.com/file/d/1fgNFTNsEYsiHKsGC96jn6oT7EwQTH4zE/view?usp=sharing

S8 on the official 9.0, camera bug, possible solution?

Hi people! Recently I've been having problems with stock camera app on my s8. Normally using both cameras, taking some photos and and when I click to exit from it, camera keeps working, all buttons on screen would freeze and I wait like 5 seconds to actually exit and even worse, sometimes it won't start recording after i clikc REC button, just stays there and does nothing. Is this like common problem, maybe due to pie 9.0 update? Maybe any possible apps that causes interference ? One more thing, after exiting from it i get a notification something like this "gallery app keeps crushing, using too much battery, put it to sleep?"
I have tried solving it with clearing camera and gallery data and app cache, whole partrition cache, uninstalling gallery update, problem still not gone. Thanks.
First step: Factory Reset
