[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whizzpopper:
I have been having this problem on the AT&T S4 recently. Usually, a reboot fixes everything, but the last few times this has happened it has been more trouble. Today, I tried uninstalling a torch/flashlight app I was using (Go Flashlight) and the camera started working again. Not sure if this will last, but I thought I'd suggest that it's possible a 3rd party application is interfering with the camera.

fixed for me

This!!! Thank you..was so worried I was going to have to send my phone back to Samsung. T-Mobile Galaxy S4 running KitKat 4.4.2.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whizzpopper:
I'm really happy this worked for you!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code E:
2 Days of researching and this was my last hope

I recently rooted my phone after Tmobile OTA update to KitKat 4.4.2. Prior to rooting I had no issues with the camera...At least none that I can recall. Initially I thought it might be related to my SD card set as storage so I changed it device. No good. I did a factory reset and everything seemed to work fine. So I applied my titanium backup and not to shortly after I did. I started to have issues again.Since I needed a working phone I moved my SIM to my S3 while continuing troubleshooting my S4. After booting S4 with NO SIM my camera started to work. I put the SIM card back in I get Camera Failed. I was searching forums for SIM related camera failed issues and stumbled across this gem. Thanks SOOO much.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandinos:
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.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gekkehenkie11:
I just wanted to add something to this thread. After the 'camera failed' problems I had, I replaced my camera and the problems were gone. However, after about half a year the phone would randomly crash when I wanted to shoot pictures and start the cam app, so I figured that that maybe the contacts had come loose. However by that time I also read some other reports indicating that crashes (so no 'camera failed' message but really a crash) were caused by ram problems. I then installed a ram cleaner and every time before opening the camera app, I ran the ram cleaner. The cam didnt crash anymore after that !! So I figured the reports were correct and it indeed was a memory problem. I then removed most of the bloatware with titanium backup, which freed up quite a bit of ram and after that I never had that problem again and it's been about 6 months now !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyborgX_CZ:
Yep I think you are absolutely right. Just ran in to the same problem today. I clear the CASH, try to stop the application and clear the data, reboot phone multiple times, and almost want to throw my phone through the window, my camera was not even working under *#0*# menu , but then I saw your post and give a shot... I used clean master to free up some ram and bang camera app was back working again. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrvooje:
Hi!

It happend to my on CM11. stock ROM and few other ROMs. right after install when RAM was not full. Another question which bothers me is why both cameras don't work when I try them with *#0*#. If that was a camera module issue, wouldn't it affect only that damaged camera, rear camera? Should I buy them both and replace them?

I am convinced that this is a software problem. There is too much coincidence that both cameras failed.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusseldieb:
Hi,

Someone gave me his new Galaxy S4 (As a "gift"), because the screen was flickering and turning off randomly...

Because I have nothing to lost (I already have a S4), I have used for the first time the popular "oven" method, that I have read a long time ago, that people was fixing their Graphics card with this "solution"...

I have disassembled the phone, take the mainboard, put in the oven (200°C) for 15 minutes or so... (After 10 minutes I have decreased it to 150°C)

After this I waited the mainboard cool down and reassembled the phone....and for my surprise... it turned on...and the screen to. Without problems anymore. :D

You can try this too with your phone, maybe it fixes the soldering...

REMEMBERING: I'm not responsable, if you destroy your phone with this method! It hve fixed mine, but I don't guarantee nothing!

If you want to perform this method, put ONLY the mainboard in the oven, without any wires (Without camera, without memory card, and WITHOUT THE SCREEN of course)...

I hope I helped :)

(No, I was not joking. It worked for me.)

EDIT: After this day I have fixed a router too, that was randomly rebooting :D

Better to buy a hot air gun or attach a thin blower attachement to your mum's hair dryer and air fry that mainboard. :P

Ok, I installed this after gapps. However, it doesn't help. Sometimes it helps clearing a Camera cache and sometimes you have to reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Then use cm camera fix app from the playstore with this and then try turning the camera on.

"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrvooje:
I have done that too. Camera app still, after using it for a few minutes, gives 'camera failed' or 'failed to connect to camera'. Switching to front Camera, camera app immediately stops working.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Did you read the app description on playstore?

If yes..then idk what to do anymore.

If no..read it and follow the steps :)

I was getting this same "camera failed " message.

Tried deleting the camera app data but keept getting the same issue.

Using the sequence *#0*#

I was able to test the front camera, it was fine.

Only the back camera appeared to have issues.

I had to update my tmobile S4 phone to 4.4.4 so I went ahead and did that with ODIN

Then I tested the camera again and at first didn't work but showed a message "updating camera firmware" or something like that and when it finished my camera was working again.

I don't see what the real problem could be but with my phone it might have been some sort of software issue.

You guessed right, HTC decided that unlocking bootloader should work pretty much like on a Nexus device, so no S-OFF needed or other things like that.

Just purchased a speaker mount from www.pdamods.com and am using it with tomtom 3 navigator, the sound coming out of that mount is seriously amazing !!
[General Accessories] Inspector Gadget:
Hi Jashry

I take it that your mount is the PDAMods 'Silver Shield' mount? I am interested because, after months of waiting for the right kit to come along, PDAMods are now offering a TomTom 3 kit for the Xda2 with the new Rikaline X7 BT GPS. Not only a 16-hr battery life, but a replaceable (and reasonably cheap) battery. too!

I have seen lots of posts on this and other fora about getting (or, rather, not getting) non-phone sound out through the Xda2's cradle connector. The prognosis appears not to be good (at least without a ROM upgrade), so how does the Silver Shield mount do it? The photos on the website show an Xda2 on the mount with the headset cable connector shutter apparently closed, and you couldn't just impale the Xda2 onto a jack fixed to the mount anyway, because the socket is set at an angle.

Any offers?

In phone settings in my phone it's 100 percent preventing factory reset in settings..

But in hard reset sometimes it's preventing to hard reset when i signed in my samsung account.. Sometimes it's not preventing.

My suggestion is you have to signed out your samsung aacount bro.:)

4. after wiping data restart.

I purchased the HTC One from Amazon.com on Monday with an expected delivery by Wednesday 5/22 at 8:00PM.

At 1PM today, Amazon updated the status to "Shipping Now" and has still been on that status through right now.

I have a trip leaving in the afternoon tomororw and I really want the phone before then.

Anyone who has bought from Amazon, can you tell me what time your package arrived and what state you are located in?

[HTC Desire X] mnemonoid:
Hi guys,

my girlfriends (non-rooted, vanilla) HTC Desire X did an OTA update and has been dead ever since. Power on + Volume Down does nothing, removing battery for days didn't change anything and in an USB scan it only appears as the dreaded QHSUSB_DLOAD and never as an USB mass storage device (which is what fastboot etc. tries to look for).

So, I guess the OTA update broke the boot-loader or similar in such a way so the Qualcomm chipset doesn't recognize it anymore, and fallbacks into the USB recovery mode.. and hence I really want to find a way to restore at least as much of the bootloader that I can access the eMMC userdata partition because there are photos I want to recover for her.

I know you can access the bootblock etc. through a soldered JTAG port and the RIFF box or similar, but the phone has warranty and I don't really want to void it by soldering away (in case maybe the phone actually was hardware broken). Also, since the photos on the phone are valuable I don't want to give it to the HTC service guys without at least trying something else first (whom I talked to and they say they would just swap the PCB and have to send in the old one to HTC, so I can't even get it afterwards to do the JTAG surgery on it...)

Any ideas? Is it possible at all to reflash the bootloader through the QHSUSB_DLOAD recovery protocol for these devices?

thanks
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
Ouch. QHSUSB_DLOAD is an effed up thing. What did your girlfriend do after she did the ota? Also what version is it?
[HTC Desire X] mnemonoid:
Hi, actually she just woke up, saw the phone asking about the upgrade, pressed yes and when she looked at it again later it was dead. So she didn't do anything after, and I think it was the stock android as shipped with the phone when she got it, must have been more than 6 months ago.

I did some research and it seems like the RIFF Box guys made a tool for their RIFF Manager software that can actually set up their DCC Loader monitor without the JTAG port, just using USB and the qualcomm communication (QHSUSB_DLOAD). After that, it's possible to both read and write to the flash areas I guess.

Problem is, they only support up to snapdragon S2 and the Desire X is an S4 (MSM8225 is the chipset as far as I know). Didn't seem that they had any plans to support this anytime soon.

Do you know if the internal flash in the Desire X is an eMMC or a NAND-flash by the way? The one that keeps the userdata and kernel.
[HTC Desire X] Stereo8:
I'm pretty sure it's emmc... If she didn't press any button combos and just long pressed the power button, she should be fine. But in this case, QHSUSB_DLOAD wasn't called by the user, so that update screwed up something that the system fell back to it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
I have a friend with a stock unrooted S3 (4.1.2 MB1) who has the stock Samsung music player begin playing every time he receives a text message.

At my advice, cleared the Bluetooth data for all the Bluetooth applications he could find and he also took it to a Sprint and they couldn't fix it. A factory reset or flashing a new ROM is a last resort action because I'm sure he doesn't want his phone rooted.

Any chance someone may be able to solve this mystery music problem? I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or if the MD4 update will solve it. I'm hoping I can get the stock ROM fixed through normal means.
