camera not working

Hey, I got the same problem...

I tried CM12 on my S3 neo I9301I and used some camera fix for it (idk why or was it necessary..) and then reverted back to the official ROM (from sam mobile).... Since that my cam has given that error... I'd love if you tell me which rom worked for you...

Also the cam works with custom ROMs, it's not a hardware problem for sure...

Big confusion with camera and FW versions...

Hello all,

I'm very interested in this topic because the camera of my S3 Neo i9301i doesn't work anymore.

I saw a small spot on the pictures and decided to clean the lens, nothing. I tried to replace the camera with one of a faulty S3 Neo but I got the error "Camera application error..." and discovered that exist two different sensors. I installed back the original one but the error still appears. I cancelled all, flashed the ROM with I9301IXXUANI1_I9301IITVANJ1_ITV 4.4.2 November 2014 from SamMobile (italian version) but nothing!

Now my questions:

- How can I recognize my camera version Imx175 or s5k4h5yb ? The first one (my original camera) has a bigger black chip on the back side of the flat cable and the second one a smaller chip.

- Which FW version do I have to download from SamMobile? I red "NI* and NJ* firmwares are working for s5k4" therefore in my case I should use the camera s5k4 but how an I recognize it?

- All new FW on SamMobile are OK for fixing this bug? E.g the last one of June 2015 is I9301IXCUAOF1 therefore but should work with the other type of camera .... unfortunately I don't remember the original FW version.

Sorry but I have a big confusion with these HW and FW versions.....

Many thanks for your help

Marco

I have the same problem with the camera, but unfortunately it started after I've reinstalled the original 4.4.2 O.S on my S3 Neo.

I've used the 5.1.1 Lollipop CM 12.1 with the same problems at the camera, and now, when I've returned to the original ROM from Sammobile, the camera has the exact same error.

What should I do?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1d3k1ckr:
s3 neo problems

I did the same with my phone after 2 months of stock I couldn't resist and flashed two or three cyanogenmod ROM's using CWM, and for the Lollipop one I used the Camera fix provided by the ROM's developer. I didn't have some of the apps from the official ROM and decided it's time to go back. Now I regret starting to play with it cause I still have my old Galaxy S (I9000) that still works quite decently on CM 11 v4.4.4 KK, after numerous ROMs installed, and now after flashing with ODIN which seemed to bring everything back to normal on my old phone, I still have problems, like this one with the camera....:( I just hope I will fix it and just wait for official releases from Samsung.

----UPDATE: I9301IXXUANH1 doesn't fix the problem and some apps stop responding randomly.

----UPDATE #2: I9301IXCUANJ4_I9301IOXXANI3_I9301IXXUANF2 seemed to make it work for me but now the power button no longer shuts down the screen but does other actions, more soon.

----UPDATE #3: It worked after a restart and I am waiting for tomorrow to play some more with the phone to see if there are any other bugs. For now it works good. Also I am from Romania so I downloaded a ROM for my region.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atlantis7:
FIX

1.Try to download newest rom for your phone

2. go to your recovery (i use CWM) go to mounts and storage and format /system, /data and /cashe (save your personal files before that)

3. Now you can flash stock rom with odin

if everythink is ok you must not have problems with camera or apps after last update all camera problems are fixed so try dowload newest version of stock.

it worked for me try it and share results :)

You have to flash firmware that matches with your camera sensors.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AugustinIT:
How to fix!

In case anyone still has this problem here's a fix. As [MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION] said Samsung used 2 types of camera sensors one from Samsung and one from Sony. Depending on your device you have either one of those. Anyway if your device's camera is not working after you installed a stock firmware you will have to install another one. In order for you to not try 1000 firmwares and guess which one is good, the best option is to go into the play store and download AIDA64. Then you should go to the Devices tab and see which one is your camera sensor by looking at the Camera ID string. If it stars by SLSI_s5k4 you have a Samsung sensor which means you need to go to sammobile.com and look for your device in the firmware category then look for your country and download the firmware that has NI* and NJ* in the PDA or CSC. If your country it's not on the list just choose from another country's firmware. If the Camera ID string starts by SONY_IMX you have a Sony sensor and you need to use one of the other firmware available. It worked for me, i have a GT-I9301I and I downloaded the Romania firmware with NI* and NJ* because i have a samsung sensor and everything works fine. After flashing the firmware if you have problems like crashing apps you should reboot the phone and if you still have those just do a factory reset from the phone (Settings->General->Accounts->Factory reset or something like this) and it should all work fine. It did for me since my clock app kept force closing.

I have Samsung Galaxy S III Neo with LineageOS 17.1. I have a similar problem with the camera. Both rear and front are not worked on LineageOS 17.1. Even the camera app does not appear in the app list. When I open the "Open Camera" or another camera app, it gets stuck on the black screen. In fact, both rear and front cameras did not work on stock ROMs. Actually, I couldn't find which stock ROM suited my device before installing LineageOS. I tried lots of stock ROMs but only the rear camera work on Romania and Open Australia stock ROMs. When I checked with AIDA64 and codes in the stock ROMs where the rear camera was running, I saw that the model of the device was "s3ve3gxx". Therefore, I flashed lineage-17.1-20210809-nightly-s3ve3gxx (Samsung Galaxy S III Neo / Sony Camera). I installed LineageOS 17.1 hoping it would fix my camera and battery draining problem. However, I experience many problems, including not working of camera and flashlight, overheating, battery draining. How can I solve this issue do you have any idea?

*** On the other hand, the battery was running out very quickly in the stock ROM (with DBT code) where the two cameras were not working. The app that consumes the most battery is called "mm-qcamera-daemon".

Here is (another one yeah) a stock CM12.

I will build daily, and if there are nice merges or important fixes in CM's gerrit, maybe two builds a day.

This rom is completely stock CM12 build, no extra features (and I won't be adding anything that is not on CMs gerrit.

Also, please don't mirror these!

Thanks for CM to providing the source.

Modifications to the normal CM source:

- Kernel is selinux permissive

- Doesn't force encryption (if you have encryption off it will stay unencrypted)

If it runs better on your phone then it's worth it. The build posted by skiwong20 always gives me FCs on my phone. A user, miscom, suggested I try his CM build and it runs flawlessly on my phone.

I don't know the technical details behind why this is the case, but it is for me personally.

It is also a 6 day newer build. Those bugs could have been resolved in those 6 days since the others threads build.

Also... How do I restore my app data (game saves/etc) after flashing CM12?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Manya3084:
Its a nexus device. Custom Roms are much easier to get up and running because you just use the standard kernel. The only thing not working correctly is "OK google" when the screen is off.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I'm used to Samsung phones when **** breaks daily. So... CM features are the only buggy things at this point?

And how do I restore game saves and such from my stock backup via Wugs?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TCMuffin:
I use Titanium Backup
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
But Wugs has a backup feature...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Circaflex:
You might want to ask in wugs thread then. Titanium backup is the easiest and most supported I don't know what kind of backup wugs does.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
So if I backup in Titanium on the stock N6 OS...then go to CM12 I can restore the data? Don't I need to pull the backup data off the phone first in order to restore app data?
