[Q] [q] Camera failed i9500 - revisited (help)

May I have your attention please.
Greeting to all who may be concerned or able to fix camera failed issue on Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 !!!
I know that there are other threads with similar topic, but I think we should recindle this issue as serious problem.
The story goes:
I bought slightly used S4 i9500 phone with no guarantee. It worked fine, was taking pictures and all. Splendid.
It was on some stock firmware. Some german version I think.
Then crappy and useles bloatware began to bother me. Just mountains of really crappy and uselles meaningless bloatware.
I wanted to remove that horses*it apps and therefore I rooted the phone flashing adam kernel and cofface cwm.
One lovely day i tried to take photo, camera opened with black window and showed camera failed notification with persistancy.
i flashed some newer stock firmware, it opened and was taking pictures till i tried some camera modes (action or something) and it froze with pink screen.
After that event, nothing was helpfull to fix this problem.
1. I flashed countles stock roms, nearly all available custom roms, new and old (think over 20 flashes).
2. Prior to flashing I did: Wiping dalvik, system, data, cache, preload, or full wipe, hard resets, wiping sdcard and external card.
3. Tried also nand erase (it took some time to revive phone afterwards).
4. Tried solutions like clear camera cache and data.
5. Tried turning off phone, taking battery out for some time, with full recharge,
6. Tried non stock camera apps. (e.g. camera fx, camera mx..)
7. Tried removing camera app by deleting it with titanium backup, or with root exploer - then installing it back to system apps with root explorer.
8. Tried switching sd cards- 8gb, 16, 32, 64 gb, no card, and tried settings without saving pics to sd card but internal storage.
9. Tried turning off gps, and location services
10. Tried limiting processes to 4 only.
11. Tried flashing with odin, or via cwm cofface or philz.
12. I opened phone with screwdriver to check for posible visible faults or something - all ok.
13. Flashed official firmware claimed to solve camera problems.
Maybe something more i did?- i cant remember, if i do i will notify about it.
And I ordered camera module from internet, will try to replace it - we will se what happens.
In the meantime, if someone, some wise one, genious or ordinary person, knows how to fix this persisting problem PLEASE HELP!
You will help me, and help others that have this problem.
Samsung officials, if you somehow should read this, take this into consideration. There are many eyes upon you. Provide solution for this.

I too like you tried everything and found nothing. Camera takes forever to open. Hope you decide to share the solution.Knowledge should be shared.Don't be bitter about it.I'm sure if someone had a solution they would have posted it.
cheers.

Likewise, some people may have missed your post or nothing good to add, still I too would like to know what finally worked as I tried most of what you did.

If you have message "Camera failed"...
First of all try this: Open Camera app from the "Application manager" and do "Clear data", then restart the phone.
Second: Do a Factory reset (of course save your data!).
Third: Reinstall Android OS.
If this not help you, you have a hardware problem. You need to change the camera.

01-23 22:34:40.767 F/DLApplication(5062): DLApplication mListNavitationAvailable: [com.skt.skaf.l001mtm091, com.google.android.apps.maps, kt.navi, com.mnsoft.lgunavi, com.autonavi.xmgd.navigator.samsung, com.here.app.maps]
Had a random reboot and this was the only FATAL error from the catlog. Anyone know what this means?

i got this problem also and the log is same as yours.
something my note4 got crash and freeze. The only solution is remove the battery and reset. I have tried to remove xposed , unable supersu, or install other xda rom. Now i flash back to the oldest custom rom but the problem still randomly appear. This made me very annoying.
I found no sudden crash happened if i playing music. somtimes signal change will crash also. (form lte to 3g). anyone can help me?

Sorry to drag up an old thread but did you figure this out?
Mine had 2 random crash/reboots today, so I installed catlog, and same issue as you guys, but I was only looking through gallery, it's come up in the log again, but hasn't crashed my note 4 again.

Have tried this also! Didn't work! The fon simply doesn't respond at all! M unable to use it!!
Any other solution pls??

Thanks to the bad gplay updates, the software is pretty bugged. Just download the stock firmware and check checksums before flash. Or flash custom rom from the section down below.

Dont know if you already tried but did you do a factory reset after the 4.4.4 update. I know OTA updates shouldn't mess stuff but sometimes they do.

I had flashed CM12 (5.1.1). It all went well - the flashing & all! But, i cudn't make any calls!
I have installed this ROM on my S3 Neo! But, m unable to make any call (From the SIM 1. Haven't used SIM 2 coz of the Audio prob being faced in the SIM 2 as mentioned in the thread). Whenever I make a call (sim 1), it gives an error - PROCESS SYSTEM ISN"T RESPONDING! Do u want to close it?
Even if i Click WAIT, nothing happens, there;s just a green screen being continuously displayed for about 30 seconds and then automatically, it gets back to the HOME SCREEN~!
I am unable to receive any incoming call also! The fon automatically reboots if a call comes and once it restarts, it shows the log in MISSED CALL!
Pls. Help! How to solve this out?
UPDATE :- I flashed CM11 after this problem thinking it might solve the problem but of no use again! Even, after installing CM11, I am unable to make any calls! The screen just goes blank! And then automatically gets back to the home screen! It's not showing the error of PROCESS SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING as it used to show up in CM12!
Now, pls. some one tell me it's solution at the earliest!! Pls..

Can't do Video Recording

Guys,I still have issues with video recording. I thought it was because old system. I'm on note 3 9005 earlier with x-note21 rom now on arya port s7
I installed now two times from scratch, with wiping everything. Once with s7 other with note4 cam.
Don't install any other apps so that system keeps clean.
Both start recording but immediately stop with msg recording not possible(n4 cam) or it looks like it does record but if I stop it hangs and nothing is done. (S7 cam)
Any solution?
I think there is problem with writing . I also tried to change on internal card. Same problem
Edit: also stops immediately recording with open camera apk

Video recording fails with stock rom too?

Never had stock
Rooted and customed after unboxing.
Issues since LP/MM,no problems with KK

Hi there!
Had the problem too for months without finding a solution. Then I restarted flashing the adequate firmware with ODIN step by step.
And it worked. I have my video recording back. I even did not had to wipe anything.
I've found another German Thread where one guy which had this problem just reinstalled 4.4.2 stock rom and got his camera back. And then he updated to 5.0.

Thx

A500FU calendar reminders/notifications issue after Marshmallow update

After update to stock marshmallow the notifications/reminders from calendar are not working anymore.More specific if I create a new reminder for the same day,everything goes normal,but if there are more days between notificatios they don't appear anymore.I tried to uncheck battery optimisation for any app related to calendar,without any succes.I installed other calendar apps,no result.Revert to factory settings,same thing.
Has someone encountered the same problem,and do you have by chance any sollution ?

Ok .I figured out that it works only if the phone is connected to internet,which is strange because it shoulden't have anything to do one with the other.This doesen't solve my problem because I cannot stay always connected.Any help would be appreciated.
