Have you tried to clear the data from the camera app?
Go to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All> Camera and clear the app data and see if that helps.

Do you have CWM? If yes, then go to recovery mode, wipe cache. Then go to Advanced, wipe Dalvik Cache, ans then Fix Permissions.

Did it nothing happened.. its saying unfortunately camera has stopped and sometimes its saying warning camera failed

Hi, If you did A clean install wich means U did all the wipe of every thing from CWM, and as you said you even installed stock rom, then always facing problem.
I'm afraid your have a hardware failure my freind. somebody must have fallen it down by accident. Unless you bought it like that.
Here's one other thing to do :
Serach for a freind who has the same phone well worked, do a backup from recovery CWM, copy the backup file frome his phone to yours, then do a restore from cwm recovery mode. If it works, then it's Ok, if not, It might be a hardware failure.
I really hope your phone is fine
Good luck.

No one i no has a gs2 i brought a new camera for 20 euro to replace to see if it works

What do you mean you brought a New caméra?
Did you replace the Samsung's one? By any Samsung repair service?

No im waiting on a usb jig to take away my yellow triangle before i send it for repair could be waiting 2 weeks for the jig so i brought a new canera nodule for it instead of sending it off,that IF it works

just download the original apk and install i had the same problem

By chance are you using Siyah kernel 3.1rc6 That kernel has a problem that causes the camera to fail if you are do nothing except upgrade the kernel under no circumstances wipe ANY data since if you are on that kernel you can destroy the internal memory with a wipe that can't be fixed and needs a motherboard replacement.
If when you open the camera a popup says that the camera has failed I would check immediatly if you are on said kernel.
Edit: sorry I didn't notice someone bumped such a old post that couldn't have this problem since it is before its time.

i'm having this same issue. i found that it must be a bad flex cable or connector inside the phone. if i tap hard right under the camera i can get it to fail or not fail without resetting anything in the camera app. thought it was software at first too.
have not opened the phone yet but i figure its either cold solders on the connector or loose connecotor or both. if you throw a piece of tape there inside the phone to press on it then it should fix it.

[Q] LED Flash not working. Help!

LED flash does not work. I have reset the phone already but nothing. Any ideas??
BUMPY BUMP.
What exactly have you tried to conclude it is not working?

Well, I tried taking pictures with flash and nothing.
Hmm. Phone charged? There is no disabled hidden option somewhere? Well I am sure you already looked into these easy things, you are a senior member here
Hopefully some one with an SGS2 in hand can help you. It would suck to have to send it back to UK. I suggest you contact the seller soon, to get whatever authorization for return they require, before it is too late. You can meanwhile keep looking into the issue.
I've tried mine and 'Auto Flash' does not appear to be working - when the flash is set to 'On' it works fine on mine??
Anyone else apart from the two of us with this issue?

With auto flash the device only uses flash when it thinks it needs it....
Guess you figgered that out yourself also
Download a torch app from the market and try it to see if your led is ok, if so it must be a software problem.

Ok, you didn't mention it. I thought you did, but can't be sure here on the forum (not personal).
Must be some sensor failure i think.
Best still to check the obvious i guess ;-)
Surprised more people haven't mentioned it though

Has anyone tried it on the newest leaked ODIN rom?
I guess I will have to return it for an exchange. Man, that sucks tail!!! They're currently in back order.
Just downloaded the Vignette camera app and Auto Flash works.fine so its not the sensor.
Wonder if there's a bug in the standard camera app?

Just tried that. No luck. This is very frustrating. I may try flashing one of those firmwares from samfirmware.com
get the free tesla light app from the market (the icon looks like an energy saving light bulb)
It should work fully and instantly
Tesla won't work either. I wonder if it is hardware or software related problem. Is there a link for an unlocked SGS 2 stock ROM version to download?

touchscreen sgs 2 problem

Hey, I just bought a samsung i9100 from a network company(orange) with the ics 4.0.4 version on it. Sometimes my screen doesn't work, i mean i'm typing and it doesn't respons but after i turn the phone in lock screen (1 time on power button) it works again. Oh, also it move by itself and if i type on contacts for exaple it execute my command and do one extra touch on some porson from my contacts. I'm convinced that it's a software problem but may i'm thinking wrong?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

[Q] no screen but backlight

HI,
Having searched the threads i seem to arrive at no help!!! My neo (MT15 early model) was recently updated using the software from the official site but my phone will only show the screen briefly then go blank BUT the backlight remains on. i can still receive messages and calls but cant see them unless i take the battery off then turn on again. even then it takes 3 or 4 attempts.
Any help or direction would be appreciated
Thanks
If your phone is rooted, try using chainfire 3D, but before that make a NANDROID backup.
Also this app does not work on jelly bean (it will brick your phone) so if you're using JB, don't use the app.

how can i factory reset my phone? i've tried linking it to the pc but cant find anywhere that does it!!!
Marf pointed out something good,
Right now forget about what I said and go to "settings > privacy" and hit "factory reset". But before that make a backup of your contacts with "NQ Mobile Security" cause they will be removed.
Hope it works, cause if not you gonna have to become expert

Download a flashlight app (for example, torch, flashlight, etc.) If it does not work, your camera has an issue and needs replaced. If thats the case, buy a new atrix, the flex cable that the camera is on is hard to find.

Cameras for this phone aren't hard to find. Just go to that auction site and enter MB860 camera flex. Hundreds available and they are like 9 bucks. Also, teardown of the phone is available in the interwebs so anyone can do it easily.
