[Q] Camera problem - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to open app use the camera, the app hangs.
I try default camera app, 360 and barcodes scanner.
Sometime i can quite from app and try to open it again.
This message display "Sorry, the android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device."
I try to restart the tab, but it is the same.
Is it a hardware problem?
Did anyone face the same problem before?
Please help

Hi
Camera app in Galaxy tab is stock email.apk dependable.
So if you had deleted stock email.apk, or you had disabling from starting, the camera is not working.
I had this problem in the past deleting email.apk, because I had put K9 mail

Camera + Email Problem

I have the latest updates from samsung, and a rooted tab. Recently the camera stopped working. I could open it, but when I clicked on any of the settings, it showed I was touching them, but didn't bring up any menus, the preview screen is completely black, but camera apps from the marked DO work... I'm assuming something happened to my camera.apk?
Also, when I try and attach a file using the email app, I click "attach file" and it saves an email draft then nothing else happens... is it because I uninstalled the thinkfree.apk?
I've read that the camera and email are related... so perhaps that is where my problem lies?
Also, how can I install the camera.apk? I got a backup of it but after uninstalling the old one, I just get "install failed" or whatever...
Thanks!!!
Try a factory reset. Settings, Privacy, factory reset (wipes user data). If it doesnt work. Search this forum it has email app somewhere.
I was hoping to avoid that... oh well. thanks

Stock email app weird working!!

Hi all!!
I'm on 2.2.1 and everything was working nice with the stock email client (the one without exchange security) without any problems, until five days ago I found out that every app that was using the camera (goggles, barcode scanner) or even asphalt 6 gave me force closes!! You are going to ask yourself what does email app have to do with this? Although I didn't believe it, I went ahead with a new completely wipe rom install, kernel and apps!!
Everything works fine now, except the email app!! I habe the stock email app but every time I open a new email it gives me force close, as soon as I reopen the app and the email shows up as read now, I can open it correctly?!?!
Also when I try to delete the email.apk from system/app and copy the one without the exhange security which is exactly the same as the stock one all apps above stop working?!?!?! Any ideas from anyone? I've already installed other app from market, but they insist on running in the background and I don't like this!!
Any help appreciated!!
Shall I format my sd card?
Thanks!

At least any help for the stock email app which refuses to open new email and gives force close and when you reopen the app and new message is already marked as read I can open it and read it normally?

[Q] My Gallery and Camera fails after JB update. How to fix?

After the Verizon OTA JB update (4.1.2), My Gallery will not open. It just says "Error while launching application." The default camera app does the same thing.
Third party apps (LittlePhoto and Camera ZOOM FX) seem to be working fine, and I am looking for a good Gallery app in case I cannot get this fixed.
I tried clearing data/cash for Gallery app. I found somewhere that this was supposed to fix this problem. It didn't.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i would just wipe data in recovery
you will need to backup, texts, call logs, contacts… if you want to save
how to.. in my list

Really hoping there is an easier way to fix this. Looks like several people have the problem (judging by a google search), but no solutions yet.
Motorola's "My Gallery" was removed by the update and replaced with Google "Gallery" app.
If My Gallery is still listed (and tied to the camera) it sounds like your install didn't install completely or you restored things after the update.
You may want to flash the JB fastboot files, factory reset and reconfigure.
That was it! Looks like the camera app was also replaced. I was using App Manager. It kept the "links" to the old apps in the icon folders. After removing the old camera and gallery icons, and then adding the new ones, everything works fine.
Thanks tcrews!

Facebook messenger in-app camera not working

Hi,
Trying to use facebook in-app camera, gives a white screen. If you read very carefully, you can see that it displays a message: "sorry,the camera is not working right now . you mightneed to close any other camera apps you have running" . Turning your screen off, and immediately on again, the camera works like a charm. No other apps seem te have problems accessing the camera. All permissions are OK. Facebook app itselve works great, and starts the camera from the first time. So the problem seems to be isolated to the FB messenger app. Installing older versions to no avail... uninstalling other applications using camera... no avail.
Any thoughts?
