Pretty much self explanatory
Camera was working yesterday
Today its not :'(

I had this a few days back - turns out i'd been using the phone in 'torch' mode, and it had turned itself off after a while, but obviously didn't release the led function back to the camera.
When I cycled the torch back on and off again it was fine. I imagine rebooting would do the same thing?
Hope that helps a little!

yes, just reboot the phone and it will work again, had the same thing

have tried multiple reboots and even taken the battery out! not too sure what im supposed to do....may just reflash the original rom again to see if it makes a difference

just a question, but had you changed the lcd density before the camera failed? if so, did you adjust it below 182?

nope, lowest i set it to was 210, but that screenshot was taken at the norm 240

ok its happened again!!! i flashed the latest update and rebooted and it was fine, camera app loaded up fine...once i installed a theme it was saying the same message!!!! is this a hardware fault? i can hear the camera clicking every time it switches on
Just flashed the original firmware back onto it, the o2 one and its saying the same thing.....is this a hardware fault?
***************EDIT******************************
So i did a factory reset and the camera really is working now
anybody have a clue why this is happening? its slightly annoying....going to debrand and root to see if i can locate the problem...

Wipe and flash a stock rom to test, the status bar appears fine so probably not hardware.

It does happen on the status bar, just seen the problem happen a few minutes ago, it's quite erratic. I'll try flashing back to stock and update. can't take a photo of it at the moment as I don't have another camera I can use (used a friends this morning)

Go to Settings > Motion turn it on and tick Palm Swipe to capture then when you want to take a screen clip swipe the screen with the palm of your hand, then upload that image no need for a camera
Still doesn't look like a hardware issue.

putting stock back on it seems to have fixed the issue.
Shame that I really don't like the stock s3 rom at all

No one said that you had to keep stock. Flashing stock is a simple Hardware v Software test.

I realised that after I said it
So its still happening on stock ( all be it after a few days ). Any suggestions of what I should try next?

Camera - Black screen or fuzzy white lines?

I have a problem. Camera wont work. Most of the time its a black screen and other times it kinda works but i get the image below, and it takes pics like that but you cant view them. I removed apps that I have installed since I noticed this and nothing. Any ideas on this? I looked everywhere for about 2 weeks now. Not sure what to do....?
If a factory reset from the settings menu is recommended... what exactly happens to the custom ROM and kernel? Do they need to be reinstalled or...?
Running Shostock 2.5.6 And AJ 1.25s
And if this is not the place to post this... please tell me where? Thanks everyone!

Replacing the camera module doesnt work. Does the same thing. Any ideas? I doubt it since I have gotten ZERO replies. Was hoping at least ONE person on here has had this problem... guess not. Thanks anyway everyone!
I wonder if it's the kennel you're using. AJK 1.25s is pretty old, and while it is the Samsung version I can't remember if it's for the ICS version you're running; maybe AJ can pop in and reeducate me.
Anyway, a quick test would be to nandroid and flash the rom again without changing the kernel, then see if that solves your problem.
One other thing, don't factory reset from the settings menu, always do these things from the custom recovery.

I just flashed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day without flashing a kernel before I changed the camera module... same result. Thanks for the tip on factory reset.

trick & tip don't know how it worked but it did

Ok I can't believe this even worked but ok so I couldn't get knock on to work after flashing a new version of simple kernel on malladus Rom then he revised the kernel into two one with knock code and one without so I flashed the new one with knock code still couldn't get knock on to work with any kernel except dorimanx so I flashed cloudy g3 Rom and flashed the new simple kernel and knock on worked so anyway dumbass me thought ok knock on code might be in the firmware so I decided to to copy the firmware from cloudy g3 and paste it into my malladus backup needless to say that didn't work I got stuck on the boot screen no matter what Rom I restored our anything thing else I tried and I
couldn't get into download mode only fastvoot so I couldn't restore it back to stock using the lg tool so I figured I was f~ed. But I tried something that I never thought was going to work I took a Rom zip I had and deleted the system and boot from inside of it and took the vs98024a ota Update file and put it in the rom zip and then booted into recovery and flashed it well it flashed but I still couldn't boot it still would get stuck on the boot screen so I restored cloudy g3 backup again wiped both caches and low and behold it booted I don't know how but it worked unbelievable but happy me so if you get stuck I a similar situation I hope this helps you
Well I restored malladus ROM just to see if the knock code would work now but sorry to say it still doesn't so if anyone has any ideas on how to get the knock on feature to work again I'm all ears
now go and buy a few enter keys

Wifi won't turn on on stock or custom roms.

Hi, we've got the old S2 out a drawer to lend to someone, it's not been used for 6+ months but worked fine then, the wifi no longer works, it thinks about turning on for about 10 seconds then switches back to off. I've tried a factory reset, I've tried CM12.1, tried going back to a different stock rom, still nothing at all, all does the same. Done lots of googling and people say to enter *#*#526#*#* to see what the wifi test says but that code doesn't work for me on 4.1.2, just get a sorry this number is not available.
Any ideas, be good to get it working.
Thanks.
Mine did this too, try taking the SIM card out. In the end I've completely wiped it and am now running CM12 nightly and it's being used by one of my lads as a gaming thing, and it works well for that (on WiFi) now I've sorted the partition sizes.

Check internal battery, if leaked, try to clean it or if you can, removeit !

Cheers, I'll have a look at the weekend.

This is currently looping in logcat. Any way to fix except of full reset and a reflas

Suddenly phone got 5-10 fps out of nowhere and not changing back.
Decided to get logcat and see if something interesting came up (this is maybe 40 min after when phone started to be a little more "normal")
It started ok with some warning but soon went to application error and then access denied to files?!
I did not use Instagram(the app crashing) for over 12 hours before.
Now the last picture is running over and over again (same things coming up, like it was looped)
So am I forced to reset and flash from start? Should I be worried about anything?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: it changed to some really worth and (to me) worrying things so a full reset is mandatory when I get home...

It seems your software has been corrupted somehow. Yes, reflashing your stock firmware should fix this.
