On Android 2.3.4, run into this issue just recently. Have tried any solutions possible but all failed. Help!
Every time open camera app:
Warning: Camera Failed:ErrorMessageHandler.handlemessage(-1), then OK button to close.

go to samsung care centre
yes, I think you should go to service center..

Have you tried uninstalling lag fix to see if the problem goes away ?
no, i will try now.
no lagfix is not the problem.
I uninstall it and the camera still won't make pictures...
For sure was when i rooted the phone...
maybe some kind of permission..
Thank you for suggestion, what now?
Kikan
If you have an external SD card, in camera settings, try change the store location to the sdcard and take a picture, and then change it back. It has fixed the problem for me before, although I had the problem in the camcorder mode! Some kind of glitch in the camera app, I guess.
This isn't really Android dev, should be over in the Q&A forum or something or other.

It could be hardware problem.
I once experienced something similar to this and no matter what firmware i flashed the problem persisted so i sent it to Samsung SVC centre and they pretty much fixed it, stating that they had replaced the camera module.
i don't have external sd card...
Interesting is that camera i sworking and video is working too, but i can record but i can't take pictures...
Hope that is not hardware problem...
i called to samsung service, and the gay there told me, that is probably something wrong with application, that maybe is there some apps, that are running in the background and this stops camera to make pictures.
first i will buy sd card and test, after
I don't want to change the rom before official release, just to test if camera will work...
I'm thinking that maybe i can uninstall all apps that a downloaded...
it's very strange that nobody had same problem...
The best thing you can do, if you accept loosing all your data, is to go in recovery mode and do a factory reset. If the problem persist after that it means that you have a hardware problem. Good luck
do i have to uninstall lagfix and unroot the phone?
i did recovery and factory reset, but camera still don't work...
I found out that doing factory reset will not delete sdcard files and i still have superuser apps installed and when i tried to install lagfix, i receive one error...so is not completely factory reset.
maybe something happen when i root the phone?
is there one way to completely remove all thing and reinstall all stuff? Just to see if i can solve camera issue...
i would like a fast and stable frojo release...
Thank
Kikan
i did a mess...
i didn0t uninstall lagfix before doing factory reset and now i think that i will go to samsung service...
i spoke with them today i and they are putting JP5 firmware now in all SGS...he thinks that firmware update can solve my camera problem...
i sow that is maybe batter to flash the JP6 firmware?Is this the stable frojo version?
thank you a lot
i solve my camera problem....
i use rom manager and Doc's Rom last jpm firmware version...
Thank you all for help me....

Sorry to ressurect an old thread.
But I'm currently experiencing this problem with the latest official release of Froyo. I've 2 Galaxy S phones here, both that I've setup, except only 1 seems to have the majority of problems.
I'm experiencing the same issues as above. Front facing camera shoots/saves, and so does the Video using the back camera. Saving pictures using the back camera fails with a simple 'camera failed' message and a broken invalid image file.
I'd like to keep my official froyo version without flashing another firmware. Strange that my other phone has none of these issues, yet is running the same firmware.
Anyone have any sort of idea what's going on or how I can solve this? Much thanks is appreciated.
I can't seem to post the screen capture. but if you want to take a look

Doesnt matter what kind of kernel you had. just go through the below link find the ROM for your region and download it. then flash PDA PHONE and CSC using Odin Via PC. Please read instruction carefully. (Make sure you UNTICKED RE-PARTITION Option in Odin)

already tried with my region and different regions with no success
even i got this problem. but got solved after a reboot :\
Using Stock ROM
Havo u found a solution yet??
make sure you use stock dpi settings, and you still didn't answer the question : what exactly happens when you launch the camera ?
Hello guys, i just receieved my phone, it is a GT-I9220_xx_EUR.
It came with 2.3.5(KH2, i think it was a test version). I flashed stock XXLC1 with odin, but after this update the camera doesn't work anymore.I get a camera error, and it closes.
If i try with 3rd party app, like 360camera, i can take pictures.
how can i solve this?

Did you try a factory reset? It may do the trick!
Not just one,it didn't do the trick.
I even downgraded to 2.3.5, no luck.
i found out my note it's a test version(that's why it came with 2.3.5 KH2- i never heard of this fw). i will look upon my sources, maybe i'll find the original software.

360camera works great,but i can't record videos.any other camera app, that acces directly the apk gets the same result...freezing screen..
Hi there!
I have one issue with my XZ. Sometimes, when I launch camera app, I have an error: Camera is unavailable. Whan can I do?
Greetings!
Someone?
No one have the same issue - which means yours might be a faulty unit and the camera module fails to activate at times.
Suggest you bring it into the nearest Sony service center for a check.

Can happen if the camera doesn't get released after prior use.
Do you use any other app to take pictures? Directly from FB app? Different camera app?
If nothing holds true you may "repair" your phone by completely reflashing it using Sony PC Companion software.
Hi!
It happen when camera is doesn't use for a while. I don't know. How often we use camera? When I need to take a photo, Im opening camera app, and I take an error. Then I turn off my phone, turn it on back, and camera works again. I take a few photos, click back button (back arrow), and if I want to take photo in future, I can't.
Bootloader is unlocked, so bring phone to Sony is rather poor idea. Maybe new firmawe, flashed by flashtool will solve my issue?

Try flashing a rom or reflashing the fw back to stock... If that dont work, you may have to take it back to Sony
Are you rooted? Did you delete any system files??
All you can do is repair your phone with pc companion,if nothing changed than to service.

Ok, so I will flash tomorow new FTF file, but now I have orginal Russian FTF firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167096) I will try French or UK. Earlier I had polish branded firmware, but I had a bootloop so I had to flash russian FTF. Maybe it's the problem?
Tell me, if it will not resolve of my problem, I will relock bootloader, and Sony will recognize the guarantee? Can I unlock bootloader after?
