Can't connect to camera

So i did a fresh install (wipe to factory, then installed the latest nightly 6/1). All is well except the Camera can't connect. I read some forums and found this: jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-590

However, all the proper files seem to be in all the right places (system/cameradata). Any ideas?

OnScreen upto 17% battery drain per hour????

Is it right that CM uses 15-17% of battery per hour or is it a bug ?
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
Lol for me it uses 0.5% per hour. Dont spread wrong information.
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
no. 25% per minute.

that's pretty normal. 4-5 hours screen on.
[Galaxy S III General] TheRealFelix0212:
Ok, thats nice to hear! I thought that my battery is broken!

Is batterylife better than on TouchWiz?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
100% / 17% = 5.9 hours. So you get 6hours of screen on time and complaining? How much did you get on stock?
[Galaxy S III General] TheRealFelix0212:
On CM:

OnScreen circa 3h and battery is empty

3-17 % battery drain, the most time

screenon ca.15%

screenoff ca.4%

On TW(stock):

OnScreen circa 4h and battery is empty

4-15% battery drain, the most time

screenon ca.14%

screenoff ca.4%

My batterylife per day:

altogether TW: upto 12h

altogether CM: upto max. 8h I already tested

I'm really sad that it's so! I wanted to get better batterylife and performance, when I had flashed CM.

Performance is better, but Battery not. :(

[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
For me that information is very close to reality. Don't assume that just because you don't experience a bug that it's not correct info.

Currently I have 5 hours on battery, 50 minutes of screen on time and only 44% battery.

I wanted to have a better or the same batterylife and better performance with CM but I didn't get better or the same batterylife.

But the Performance of CM is much much better than on TouchWiz!

[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
I've also greenified some apps, but that does not really help since the battery drain is coming from Android OS. I've tried stock CM, Devil and Googy max kernels with no luck.
[Galaxy S III General] slaid480:
Google services are eating your battery.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
For the millionth time, Android OS is the percentage of battery USED not USE. It isn't draining anything.

If you do nothing with your phone, it will always be the highest percentage USED. If you watched a video for 3 hours, the display would be the highest percentage USED.

You need to understand what's what and then determine whether you have a problem or not. But you are going up a blind alley at the moment...

Use a more logical approach if you have poor battery life - it isn't CM10.1
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Every app USES battery. When it's above "normal", it's draining. If you think that Android OS eating your battery in less than 10 hours with less than 1 hour with screen on is not a problem, I do.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
I get over a day, mostly Android OS, so you have the problem. But not "Android OS" per se.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Still, you're missing the point. Say your battery has used up 20% (gone from 100% to 80%), and the android OS usage is like 60%, it means android OS has used 60% out of those 20% drained, which means android OS has used 12% in total.

Which would be normal, if that didn't happen in less than 1 hour.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
For 7 minutes? Are you having a laugh?
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Of course, Android OS only represents all the process and different apps contained in it. But the problem is one of those apps which is running like crazy.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
My previous post suggested you take a logical approach.
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
I know 7 minutes is unlikely to be the cause of such a drain, but do you see anything else?
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
I would disable all Google syncs (Maps, +,) and Dropbox, FB, News, Weather, Engadget etc. temporarily and see what effect that has. First of all...
[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
That probably isn't the cause of your problem. I have similar problems, the wakelocks were something like 3-5 minutes which is not meaningful, and haven't found any app as the culprit. I've used multiple applications (including BBS, of course) to try to find the cause and it does not show anything out of the ordinary. Despite that, battery drains fast. 10% during the night in Airplane mode.

After several days trying to find what's the problem, today I decided to format/clear data and flash a clean CM build without gapps and without installing any of my apps in order to find if the problem persists.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42045724&postcount=359

i thought it was kernel related, but tried several but still this issue, its gotta be ROM
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
I do not know why but it seems that something is plaguing the AOSP ROMs' battery life, and that's not just on the S3.

Some people blame this on the lack of sources but I don't think that's the culprit. The S1 has got the sources, battery (esp standby) is still worse than stock. So theres no 'source magic' either.

Just my little input, I know its not all that useful but just wanted to point out its not just the s3 that takes a minor hit in battery life when cm is compared to stock.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
If you lose 10% on standby with airplane mode on then definately your battery is bad. Try turning off your phone completly off and also remove the battery and leave it out for a day, and check it how much it decreased when you turn it back on. If its good health it shouldnt decrease at all.

[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
So you have 10% battery drain while on airplane mode and your battery is good and healthy, and its a rom problem? But how come no one is having the same problem? Did u try full wipe?
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Just did a clean falsh (came from stock, did full wipe) and the Mobile Network Toggle (not the tile) seems to be buggy... even if its off, the toggle is highlighted as if it were on... is this known?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
The only way I think that's even remotely possible is the hardware on his S3 is drastically different from most of the ones here.

It happens when WiFi is also on; but the toggle registers, and it corrects its state when you switch off WiFi.
[Galaxy S III General] aasimkhan30:
I do think that battery drain is a common problem of aosp roms

I had cm on following devices

1)Xperia x8 on which battery life was ok

(Near to stock)

Other wise

On phones like

2)S3

3)S2

4)Xperia x10

5)Xperia sl

All of them have battery drain

But i did use cm9 on s3 before but the battery life was almost near to stock

But it seems to be getting worse after each new cm version

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] zeli9:
I've posted earlier about my experience with this annoying camera bug. It would appear that on the very latest nightlies the issue has been resolved, possibly due to the implementations related to the firmware on the link you posted. I've not changed any firmware files now, perhaps you need to do another clean install with the latest nightly and see if it helps.

Regarding the battery drain issues people are reporting I would recommend to try Deep Sleep Battery Saver (even the basic balanced mode) in conjunction with Greenify, - I've had no drain issues with this setup. It's also great to put the phone in airplane mode for the night which saves even more juice.
[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
I'm not saying it is a ROM problem. At the moment I don't really know what's the problem. But I'm not the only one with battery drain problems. And yes, I did a full wipe.

I don't believe that the hardware is drastically different (if any different). It could be some configuration, some thing specific to my carrier, a different gsm frequency, etc.

Our devices should have per-component current sensors! :silly:

[Galaxy S III General] David Braund:

[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
The problem was before a wipe! Sorry if I misguided you into thinking that the problem was still there after the fresh wipe.

I've wiped and installed a fresh CM yesterday, and so far I had no problem with battery drain. I'll use it like this (without installing anything) for some more time to see if the problem appears. Next I'll try installing gapps to see if that's the cause.

I know that they are not applicable in flight mode, but if the phone goes crazy before going into airplane mode, the problem could stay even after turning airplane mode on. I'm just thinking of possible causes, not saying that is the cause.

I just really don't think it is a typical too-long-wakelock or app-firing-too-much-alarms problem.

[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
After almost two days with a clean CM (no gapps and no custom apps except BBS), I can confirm that the excessive battery drain occurs.

The device was in airplane mode for about 8h and drained 13% of the battery. BBS does not show anything out of the ordinary.

It was doing fine all day and the night before. The problem seemed to start after placing a call. By the way, I'm using radio XXEMB6, but I've already tried other modems (such as the XXDLIB).

As I said this is a clean and fresh install, only changed some settings like ring mode and not much more.

[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
I can actually confirm that. As soon as you do a call, the drain starts. A restart of the phone fixes this until you call again.
[Galaxy S III General] abmantis:
I'm back to my normal (non-fresh) rom state, since I need to use the phone. Do you still want me to get the log after a call?

Also, if there's any flag I can set before building CM in order to get a more verbose log, please tell me and I'll build it.

Yesterday my S3 begon to hung after X minutes. Sometimes it was after 5 minutes, sometimes after 40 minutes,...

I came from Nightly 30130310 and I thought to flash te Nightly from 20130602.

I wiped everything (dalvik, cache, and factory defaults) and then flashed the new nightly with the latest gapps. The problem is still there now :rolleyes:

it's not a routing issue since it happens straight after boot without any device plugged in.

Or having a bootsound like samsung.
