Is anyone else's stock camera failing since this last update?

Hi everyone.
I have encountered a problem on my phone's rear camera with the latest ROM upgrade, which upgraded my android version fom 4.2.2 to 4.3:
I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505BTUEMJ8_BTU
The problem is that I get a dark display (black screen, see the attached screenshot) and the whole phone gets stucked and its performance is slowed down due to that. After about a minute or to of freezing phone I Finally get a warning - Camera Failed.
I tried to wipe twice (both cache partition and user data), prior to and after flashing, and also tried to reflash the same rom again. Didn't work out for me, or at least works once right after wiping and then fails again. Seems like a heavy bug in 4.3, unstables the camera due to the new firmware.
Has anyone had that same problem or reported on it or it's just me? What should I do now?
Thanks.
When you open the camera, did you get a camera firmware update?

Yes, that was in the first time that opened the built-in camera app after flashing the newest firmware. I proceeded with the update and then all that mess started. But since then I have reflashed and didn't get that message once more to confirm/approve.
Is there a way to downgrade the camera's firmware to the one used in 4.2.2? It really worked really well for me prior to that so called "upgrade"...
Another question: When (roughly) should I9505 models recieve the 4.3.1 update? Is it scheduled to be soon?
Having the same issue (also with other Camera apps like Barcode Scanner, Paper Camera & Optical Reader). If I wait I end up with a "camera fail" message.
UPDATE: Just upgraded to MK8 version using Kies - and the problem persists!
This month's (november) update implies that Samsung are yet to resolve this bug. Does someone know how should I report them about the problem? Is there a website or a social network page that they actually check up on a regular basis?
Thank you.
I'm on stock Oxygen 2.2.0. my camera keeps crashing "cannot connect to camera".
Initially I thought of coz of many camera apps (instagram, VSCO, Retrica).
I formatted phone and didn't install any camera apps, it worked fine for 2 days and now i'm facing it again.
please let me know what to do, I'm unable to camera due to this
I've had the same problem as you. I flashed skydragon with lord Boeffla kernel and camera now works for me.
There's also s temp fix to disable the laser auto focus.

So here's what happened: I upgraded stock 5.0.2 on my Romanian Orange branded G901F to stock Marshmallow (6.0.1, via the phone's update).
After the update, the phone's main camera crashed and (using the standard camera app) there would be an error message: "Warning. MediaServer failed. Camera needs restart" with only an "OK" button on it.
I've looked around the web for a while and tried everything, from clearing the app's cache and data to rolling back to 5.0.2 (via ODIN, another stock ROM, so Knox is still intact), but nothing worked. The main camera crashes with the same error every single time, while the "selfie" camera works flawlessly (and has worked even on the 6.0.1).
Has anyone encountered something like this? Any solutions to this?
Later edit: It would seem I managed to trip Knox, one of the ROMs I tried seems to have been unsigned. Bummer. Still no luck though.
Hi, I've been trying to fix my camera for a week by now, everytime I open it, tells me it's busy by another app. I disabled it, removed updates, cleared cache, remains the same.
I reflashed the stock rom once again and still remain the same. In the last time I even updated it to Nougat but remains still the same. Tried safemode, same happens.
One of the other apps I installed to try it out, returned me a different error however, saying he couldnt get the camera, because the ID of that camera didnt existed (I don't remember by memory the exact words)
Did anyone experienced this and could overcome it ?
Hello, My phone's (main)camera is not being registered by the stock camera app , neither by Gcam. But it shows up in apps like instagram and snapchat and works just fine, no crashes or such. I tried resetting my phone through settings and the ****ty bootloader you get with a locked H870DS (un rootable) model and it didn't seem to work.
What I am thinking is, there's something wrong with the camera ID allocations of the camera but still confused as to why even after resetting, it won't work. Any way that I can erase the system and other partitions and do a fresh stock os installation? UGH it was so easy with root. Lg made a great device ****ty by locking it down for me.
Update: So I forgot to add how I came to the conclusion of camera ID being allocated wrongly. When I try to open the stock camera app by long pressing and selecting 'Selfie cam' , it opens up the wide angle rear camera. Either the front cam is done for or my device is.
So everyone's in quarintine but no one wants to help?
Hey,
today i tried to recreate your problem, and i got your problem.
Problem came when i flashed Pixel Experience Android 10 ROM against branded stock Android 9 (branded by Polish Play).
How to solve it? After many trial and errors, problem dissapeared when i flashed stock Android 8 (branded by Polish Play in my case), and did FOTA update.
I hope i helped.
