Camera broken? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys so I have an issue just today my.camera forgot to start using any app that has camera access I've rebooted and cleared dalvik cache and the apps cache to no avail. It makes a weird click sound when I exit the app sometimes. Is it possible that its a hardware issue? Im running cog 5.2 2.3.3 stock.

Try stock and posting in the questions section.

Yes always flash stock first...then get worried

If it is broke there's cheap replacement on Ebay.

Sorry I don't remember where I originally posted.
I flashed stocked and it started working. I now flashed Continuum 6.1 and the camera stopped working >_>

Update: its working again I didn't do anything to fix it? Strange

I used to have this issue, with a different app - dropbox. Turned out to be a bad flash of ROM. Stopped having this issue once I reverted to stock and installed the ROM again. Issue came in with I loaded my current ROM over an existing non-stock ROM.
That's strange cause odin'd back to stock then applied new rom last week and everything was fine then.. What I would like to know is what causes it, I would hate to re apply rom... Ugh!

I know it was down last night
When the site is down, it keeps prompting for userid/pwd repeatedly. I think the issue here is that it logs out after a period inactivity.

[Q] Camcorder Force Closes

I need some help figuring out why my camcorder force closes. I'm running CM7. I've tried wiping everything and re-flashing, clearing the camera data, fixing permissions, and searching the forums. Everything else works. When I try to use the camcorder it will force close, then my phone will reboot a short time later.
Try to uninstall the camera.apk and replace it with this one see if that works http://db.tt/dMMC8sj
I hope it works for you

The latest Fits one. This has been happening early on though. There has to be something different with my phone compared to everyone else running the same ROM because the camcorder works for them. Maybe I need a different kernel.
The kernal that I'm running is 2.6.37-cyanogenmod-01117-g3687213 [email protected] #1

That's what I was running, then I switched it to Redstar's. I don't know, obviously. My plan right now is to wait until RC1 comes out or a Fits build with more features and then flash back to stock and redo everything. I hope I don't have to, but I'm out of ideas.
Can anybody else offer some advice before I start wiping everything again?
Camcorder will freeze, then the phone reboots.
I've tried formatting the boot, system, data, cache, then flashing again. I've tried clearing the camera data. I've tried uninstalling the camera and reinstalling it.
I'm on RC1 of CM7, the latest HBOOT, and the kernel that comes with CM7.
i have the same issue tried switching kernels to no avail.
Count me in !

I'm using rooted gingerbread 2.3.3 used SGS tools try to install camera hack app and ended up making camera not work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can reverse the camera hack by using the script. Did you do anything with the stock E-Mail app? When I changed my E-mail.apk to the new Galaxy Tab version my camera stopped working. Who would have thought that the E-mail.apk could mess up the camera.....
No i didn't mess with the email and how.do.I change the script
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
1.) Start SGS Tools
2.) Go to apply script
2.) select restore_camera.txt
SGS tools is not made for 2.3 so most of the things you can do will cause problems
had the same issue here. reflashed, problem solved
Oh I try that yesterday so I guess I will try and reflash and see how that goes
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
same same. re-flashed but still broken. even the script to return to stock doesn't fix the problem. bastard camera.
Serendipity VII Kernel 4.0
I re flashed the phone and the camera works again thanks for the help you guys would have never thought to re flash the firmware
re-re-flashed and the camera is working. Note to self...don't use SGS anymore.
Also, when in doubt re-flash...when in further doubt...re-re-flash...
oh and don't forget to back it up...

Reflashing a droid 3 camera app (camera could not be initialized)

Hello,
I recently one click sbf'd to 890 to remove haters rom due to an abundance of camera bugs... when I reflashed, everything worked properly then I updated to 960 through OTA, now whenever I use the camera it says could not be initialized. I've tried googling how to reflash or reinstall the camera app. No one has been able to give anything solid.
What would you guys suggest? Any links to a zip I can flash through safestrap?
Thanks.

Try wiping the data for the app. I would also wipe the data of camcorder as well.
