Hey there, my moto g4 play cameras are not working, I get pop-ups saying that camera has stopped and when I try to use another app it says it's busy. I opened up the fone and checked if the contacts were ok and they are.
also, my flashlight is not working.
help
Have you tried rebooting/power cycling the phone?
If an app crashes while it is using the camera subsystem it seems to make the camera unavailable for any app until the phone is rebooted.

I changed roms, formatted data did everything but nothing works.
In my hardware information tab in the config it shows no cameras, is it supposed to show one or two cameras?

Camera in Nougat ROMs work, but the record video has a low audio.

For some reason my camera is fine on the app itself, and when it first loads the barcode scanner, it shows everything fine. But then all of a sudden, the half top of the screen gets .1 seconds off from the lower half (diagonal). So the image is distorted and is a little tough to work with (Although it still scans with the bottom half and then shows the image fine when it finds the barcode). It's hard to explain...I can try to make a video to show you guys? Anyone else having trouble with the camera?
I had the same problem, I just reinstalled the app and all is good now

Which app? I tried a few different scanners and all of them do it....
which rom and kernel are you using?
I believe Stock

Not entirely sure though, so it was an issue in the past? Software, not hardware?
The one I have is just called Barcode Scanner
After upgrading to ICS, the build in Camera App has problems and also the QRC-Reader App even shows a error.
In Google Googles and Camera FX, the Camera works perfect.
Does anybody experience the same issues.

Nope, all working perfectly here. I tested video, still, and panorama with the front and rear cameras, including all options (white balance, face effects, etc.), as well as panorama with the rear camera (it can't be used with the front one), and scanning a dozen different 2D and 3D barcodes with the ZXing app and rear camera as well.
Not a single error or crash on a stock US-market just-wiped TF101. Well, other than that the camera quality sucks, but that's a hardware issue.
every camera app including the stock one work perfectly.
Mine also works perfectly now... fornt and rear...
But one question though: in the stock camera app, what's the button in the lower right corner for? my camera app freezes when I click on it...
Hi,
Also for me not working camera; I try more applications, none of them working.
This is very strange: I have between the applications that are included in ROM also "Superuser". This suppose to came with ICS?
My TF was rooted previously, but when I did upgrade to latest version of HC (8_6_5_21), I did lost the root.
So this application was installed in my TF before the upgrade to ICS; but now I cannot uninstall: seems that is included in ROM.
The error I receive when I try camera is : "Can't connect to the camera".
I believe that something went wrong in my upgrade. I did also factory reset after upgrade to ICS, no change.
Now I hope some update from asus will help me.

camera not working
My camera is not working as well, done people have started their cameras up while holding their finger in front of it to activated their auto focus, and have had success. Just place your finger in front of the camera for 5 seconds then remove it. No success for me, but you can tell it's doing something different when you do that
Same problem here "Can't connect to camera". This error comes up for front facing camera but the back camera works perfectly. Thing is this error came up when I installed the prime rom.
PS. The front facing camera was working when I bought the tab.

Ah, the front sensor strikes again...
That's almost like my own experience with the front camera: worked like a charm on Honeycomb, since 9.2.1.17 it goes berserk in low-light conditions until the unit is rebooted (but instead of an error message the Camera application showed a garbled image with previous contents of the framebuffer).
IIRC, the first batch of logs I sent to Asus North America was related to this problem
Are you guys stock and unrooted? If not give it a shot just to see.
Hello,
I have been having a problem with the camera on my s4.
Every few hours my phone will display the message "cannot connect to camera" and I can't use the selected camera on my phone. Sometimes it's only one of the cameras, sometimes it's both. When I restart my phone the camera works fine. Also sometimes erasing the camera cache is enough to get the camera to work again but not always. I can't remember if I had this problem when I ran stock OS but I've had 2 different roms on my phone (Vanir and CM11) and both have the same issue.
Is there a leftover folder on my internal storage that I should be deleting?
The app I use daily is snapchat and that is where I notice that the camera is not connecting. I know snapchat and rooted phones/roms do not play nice so could that be the issue. Just looking for some insight into this problem
Thank You
Does the regular camera app work fine, or do you get the connection error there as well?

After I notice the message in snapchat I get the "cannot connect to camera" in the base camera app as well. Whether it happened because of snapchat I don't know, that's just the place where I notice it first.

You are running a highly outdated CM version. You are running 11 and we are already on 12.1. I suggest you try to update it first.
Hi all,
I wondered if anyone is having the same issue as me. The camera app occasionally crashes but it's consistent when I switch to video mode from photo, then from 120FPS to 240FPS. I've found 9/10 the Camera app crashes and closes down. The error message is "Camera Error: can't connect to the camera".
When you re-launch the camera, it just shows a blank screen with a white camera icon and does nothing. The only way to fix it is by rebooting the phone. I've tried a couple of things, removed any other camera apps on the phone and cleared the data / cache from the camera app under installed applications. I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if I'm honest...but I'll do that as a final troubleshooting step, if it still happens I'll get it sent away as a hardware problem.
Feels more like a software issue to me, anyone else? My phone is UK branded 64GB model in Silver.
Thanks,
Danny

I'm running the latest July 9th build of PureNexus on my Rogers 6P. Latest vendor image and Camera APK from the store.
Systemless Root and Systemless XPosed, and 120/240 all work fine.

Thanks for looking, I went into the bootloader and selected barcodes, it shows a date of 2015. Am I in the right place?

Yea you are correct place. It was a common issue on first release of the phone. The 2016 builds fix it.
See if you can RMA your device and get a 2016 build one.
is the device new or have you had it a long time

I'm facing the exact same issue. Got the phone this week and on latest version of android. This problem still exists. I see no solution other than returning this phone and getting it exchanged.
Do you guys experience a black screen for 1-5 seconds when you take videos using the stock camera using auto settings? This happens when the photo size is set to 4:3 and the video resolution is set to 16:9.
Examples (it is worse with SD card):
Internal

SD card
-https://youtu.be/3KbXS-8QsrQ
Can you guys test this for me?
I need to determine if this happens to all phones or just mines so I can decide to exchange /repair it.
My device is US996 7.0
EDIT: OREO update seem to fixed it. but there is still a slight delay .

Try clearing your cams cache. Other than that...sounds like your phone or software. Also try a different cam app if issue persists.

I tried factory resetting and safe mode. But it still happens. It only happens if I use stock cam using that exact setting using auto mode. Doesn't happen when both is set to 16:9, manual mode or other camera apps like g cam and open camera; there's no black screen but the delay before it record may be still there, but I'm assuming that could be normal.
I'll try updating to oreo to see if it fixes it.
Atm, I requested an RMA for incase I can't fix this in stock.
It don't do that for me...I'm on ls997 classic ROM. Stock or this V30 port I'm running don't do that. Gcam is an odd one...but that's expected.

I updated to oreo and the black screen is gone. There's still like a 1-2 second delay with internal storage (timed it) when I press the record button and when I see the record icon shows up. Should i assume that is normal with this phone?
I probably have to live with that...
