My phone Build no:.Flyme 6.2.2.0G
I request you to suggest all possible ways to make it work.And yes i tried deleting the cache of apk and then reinstalling,and all such stuff

Try a wipe or reinstalling Rom

Before doing complete wipe, try resetting camera to defaults (menu->setting->applications->manage applications->camera->clear data)
It will basically perform a wipe for your camera only without touching any other settings.
Good luck
Done and done, ive also installed RC7 still no joy, altho i am now getting a black screen sometimes and others it force closes
Possibley the camera it self maybe?
Cheers
Do you have your apps on SD? You may have to reformat your ext2/3/4 partition. If that doesn't help - it's a hardware issue.
Unless.... Do you have any programs that utilize camera (barcode scanner, symmcam, whatever else?) they may be wrecking the chaos. Uninstall?
Good luck
after i rooted the phone and install lagfix 2.1.2 i found today that camera won't take pictures, the software starts, i can record video files , but when i press the take picture button the message cam out ''camera failed'' and after i press OK the software closes immediate.
Any help, i tried to found some info on forum and i tried to google it, but nothing yet.
i don't know what to try to fix this camera...for sure is something wrong with saving files, because for video is used the same camera and video is working fine, i can record etc...but when i start the camera everything is working, zoom, everything is o.k. but when i press take picture button, the camera give the error and it closes the program but it creates a picture file, but is all black...
help needed,
Thank you

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

So I was working on developing an app for android when I noticed that my camera had stopped working. Like many, I rebooted to find that it was still broken. This is my record for future Droid 3 users who get the same error "Unable to initialize" when starting up their camera.
To note:
I was rooted
I had the OTA update installed
Camera was working with both cases above
The camera was found broken after:
1. I was connected to the computer with "USB Mass Storage" Enabled
2. I was uploading Kitchen Sink, a test app for appcelerator through titanium X
3. I was testing geolocation which worked
4. I was testing camera which then reported "Unable to initialize"
I then quit the kitchen sink app, started the stock camera, which reported "unable to initialize"
I had read a few pages of google searches by this point like the one following:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/468467
I've had this camera since the release so its not that easy to simply send it to wirefly which is where I got it.
So I tried wiping the data, still didn't work. Reinstalled the camera files directly from the OTA update file, didn't work.
So what seemed to work was what follows:
-Factory reset
I restarted
held the X key
wiped cache TWICE
did a factory reset TWICE
reboot
Still didn't work.
So I restarted
held the X key
installed the latest OTA update
reboot
And now it works.
I hope this helps someone like me out there. There really isn't much material on this issue.
yea
when my camcorder wasnt workin i replaced the build.prop cause i know i did a few things that messed with it.
Can someone else confirm this fix?
Droid 3 camera not working.
So ive been looking all day on this site for a successful fix for my problem and everything I have tried is not working. Im not sure how it happened I assume I did it when installing a rom. When I Try to open my camera or anything involving the camera hardware the screen stays black and will force close then upon a second time it just pops up with the "camera was unable to initialize" Im running the Droid 3 android version 2.3.4 sys version .xt862 and currently have on the dark droid rom. Im not that good at this and have been just winging it and following walkthroughs on the sites but I seemed to have missed a step or something along the way. Any help or advice would be awesome.
Hello everybody........Great website by the way very helpful all the time.If anybody can please help me it will truly be appreciated...Thanks in advance!Long story short.....My GF was taking a video with her LG P970 and then it stopped because the SD had just reached its limit so the camera just forced closed.After that I noticed the phone became laggy(More than it already is btw)then there was a message in the notifications bar "Removed SD card"although it was still in the phone.The phone then started to freeze so I took out the battery and turned it on again but still the phone kept saying "Removed SD card"and when I tried the camera it would never open just a black screen would pop up and nothing......Just force close....(Good grief)..........So heres what ive tried.1.Factory Data Reset from privacy menu in settings.2.Tried other SD cards (5 other ones by the way).3.LG support mobile tool updating.4.Smartflash program to reset the phone to stock.5.Tried a bunch of different DRIVERS to see if it could find the SD on the computer.6.Ive also tried downloading a camera app from market but they all just FC's.ETC,ETC,ETC.So there you have it after all that still no SD CARD found and the camera app still crashing.I would give up and say that its a HARDWARE problem but Ive had something like this happen before with my Nexus One and somebody flashed some camera thing on it and it worked again.Her P970 is not rooted or anything like that btw.Thanks again
Well, I think it's time for LG's repairservice.
If you haved played with the rom her a method to go back to an unrooted stock ROM, due you mentioned Smarttool, and this isn't a program for consumer purpose from LG. Aniway it may help:
Flash tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18946763&postcount=1
and Here the stock firmwares: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
Regards.
Thank you very much for the response.......Ive tried both of the links but unfortunantly theyre dead links.......Also I forgot to mention that I am new to Root/Flash techniques so not so good.Using the Smartflash tool has been the only thing ive ever used............But I have a question?Do you think ROOTING and maybe putting a different Rom may solve the problem?Maybe CyanogenMod idk?Thanks in advance......And would you have a good link to view "ROOTING FOR DUMMIES"because I wouldnt know the first thing to do with a ROM.Thanks
Link updated!
I definitely don’t recommend to play with rooted roms with devices with hardware problems.
What I have linked is a tool to bring the device to stock conditions and so bring it to the service without trouble. You have said you have used Smartflashtool, this may have flashed some unofficial stuff which erase your guarantee claims.
Be aware that you do this things on your own risk!
nothing to do?

someone really solved this problem? Is frustrating 'cause i can not use my card at all, my camera don't work and some days it freezes 20 times, I must to take out the battery and it freezes again after 2 minutes.. I tried flashing it, restore factory settings, not installing nothing, updating os, but it's getting worst. I am out of warranty.. I think I will crash it with a hammer.
