Camera Crashing and Locking Up - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Im on XXEMC2 412 Stock, not rooted
Only had my S3 (I9300) for 2 weeks now and its been working great, so decided to have a go at exploring the phones deeper features, but when using the camera its started locking up, even saying "Camera has Locked Up/Crashed". usually when boot Camera from Home Screen, Booting from Lock screen seems to be ok, also when I use "back" button or view a photo, sometimes the screen goes black and the homescreen is stretched and odd display. Ive tried Rebooting, but doesnt help but everything else is fine.
I did a search on XDA, and found plenty people with the camera issue, but no solution as of yet and it seems to be mainly the T-Mobile USA Variant that does this, had anyone got any advice pls or is this the start of the Sudden Death issue and should i return the S3
Thanks

Try with any camera apps from playstore

Thanks, Is there a particular App you recommend that would highlight a specific fault, or just anything
The store I bought it from has a 28 day swap for new S3 if faulty policy, but if the S3 is faulty outside the 28 days, they send it back to Samsung.. so ide rather it went wrong now, hence, is there anything I can test

Ok, I tried Cartoon Camera, Multi-Lens Camera, Zoom Camera, Camera MX and Camera Effects.. all worked great. I did have lockups on these apps when I used them for the first time, but after that.. they worked great, so.. question..
Could my Lockups and Crashes be due to the fact that I was playing around with "burst shot", "Best Shot" changing white balance and metreing for the first time and the S3 was initialising the camera driver?.
I have 2 weeks left before the 28 days runs out, so ill use the camera and push the phone to its limits constantly.. is there anything I should particularly test for or try with the camera and the phone itself to make sure my S3 isnt dying?
Cheers

Everything seems to be working Great without issues from both lock screen and homescreen, so ide like to think that may be it was a driver setup issue, however, ill give it another day and work the Camera.. then yeah, if it does it again.. ill get it exchanged.
Thanks

Wishful thinking earlier because It started crashing again so I flashed XXEMC3, but still locking up or taking about 20-30 secs for camera to start, ill just exchange it.
Thanks for the help

Took it back to the shop, they found the fault and offered a new device.. but I noticed I could pay more and get the Note 2, so went for that one.. less minutes, but i get an unbranded unlocked note 2.. so a no brainer really.
Il be heading to the Note 2 forum now, thanks for the help all .

Broken Camera after ICS update

Hi, I just got my OTA update yesterday for my TF201 and today when i tried using the camera i realized it does not work... all i get is a green flashing screen for where the camera image is suppose to be.... i have attached an image of what happens.....
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix??
Everything was working fine before the ICS update... i have taken tons of pictures with the camera....
Also when i have the camera app open in ICS, i can hear the camera turning on and off physically... i just cant actually view anything
I had a camera firmware update immediately after installing ICS. If you didn't do that you might check that out.
I am fairly certain that i saw a camera update get applied as well.. since then.. this happened.........
When i go into settings and search for updates, it says nothing can be found
i have the same with mine, uuuggghhh
i actually contacted asus and there only answer was to go back to oem 3.2 and lose all my data
i have also had issues with my wifi dropping off when the unit goes to sleep
not sure how this stuff makes it to production like this
Mine is the same now but seems to clear up after toggling from the main camera to the display side camera and back.

You are not alone. We are having the same issue with the rear camera. Below is the post started by another member two days ago. It seems there is just a small percentage of tablets experiencing this issue. Either this or there is not many people testing out their camera after ICS update yet.

Did the Asus support show you how to go back to oem 3.2 ? or if you know how, can you show us ? I would rather try to flash it back to 3.2 (hopefully Asus can fix this latter) than sent mine back to amazon and wait for god know how long until they have the tablet in stock again.

Hardware design fault in all galaxy aces

I started a thread about the digitizer problem in Janauary about things suddenly scrolls rapidly, especially when browsing webpages.
Then on the Jan 15th, I took it to warranty, but without being able to demonstrate the problem clearly, all they done was reflashing the firmware.
I've already tried to fix the bug in the driver, but it is damn hard to filter the "noisy" touches without side effects. (like ignoring movements that are too quick, then i can't type in swype quickly)
I should have known *#0*# earlier, as I'm now able to reproduce the problem right in front of them.
On March 15, I took it to them again. Today, got my phone back with replaced touch screen. Then, tested it in front of their CS and reproduced the bug as shown in the attachment again.
I suggest anyone who owns an ace, please go into *#0*# to test your phone. Keep circling around the lower-left box for at least 10 minutes. Reply to this thread if you're able or not able to reproduce this. I may print this thread to Samsung on my next visit to them.
I've also uploaded a video to youtube to show this. (it's around 1:51 for the bug to appear)
We need to get Samsung to fix this!!
Yup I've got the same problem.
Notice it a lot with Draw Something.
*#0*# doesn't work for me, probably because I am rooted and have a custom rom. (ICSunday by Jusada).
That probably means I lost my warranty
Yes, I have this problem to. The first time occurred with less than 30 seconds of testing and the second around 1:20 min.

Hey bro
Take a screenshot if it happens again, it's still a good evidence that there's other users that got this problem.
btw, does it draw lines to the same direction like in my photo?

Yes, it's Samsung's own test menu in stock roms. But it should be reproducible in whatever drawing app.
Thought i ONLY had this PROBLEM!!
Its not only in STOCK browser also in DOLPHIN, OPERA.. And others. The page suddenly moves to the end with a slight touch!! Wat does the SAMSUNG ppl say about this??
Hope we GET a EXCHANGE of THE SET!!
it always happen when I scroll the long page slowly :/
I hope Samsung will fix it soon
They said they will be replacing my phone's motherboard, as they have already replaced my touch screen.
I wonder if it's fixed in S5830"I", otherwise even exchanging with a brand new ace won't solve it. I would try to ask them to exchange with an ace plus, or maybe I had to escalate a brand new ace first, and take it to "repair"
Well, since its a hardware problem, I don't think they can fix it with an update. I've experienced it my self countless times as well.
I noticed this when playing Air Control...
Also the rapid scrolling in Dolphin Browser is familiar to me!
I have that probably too
Yaiyeee!! New phone

Well I faced that problem too while using DiskUsage App. Just a slight touch and it moved to right end corner.
i have the same problem.
I've had this happen to me as well, can be quite annoying.
I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it unfortunately, but it doesn't affect the phone all the time. If it did, I'd be asking for a refund
Although, those Galaxy Ace Plus' do look nice...
is ther a pertition we can sign? or something? obviousley its a fault, so now what for us ace owners??

Problems with autofocus.

Hello everyone,
My first thread here. I wanted to get you guys feedback on a problem I'm having with autofocus on the camera of my Evo 4G LTE. It seems like more than half the time I'm trying to take a picture the autofocus is going crazy and won't focus at all and leaves me with a blurry unfocused screen and he only way to get it to focus is for me to close the camera app and reopen it. I haven't found a way to turn off continuous autofocus. I was wondering if any of you had this problem with the camera or was it just me? If so what workarounds have you tried?
I've tried clearing the camera app data but that really did nothing for me. Any suggests would be nice, thanks!
I do not have this issue. Ive had to fight with it on rare occasion but thats just when it was focusing on something far away when i was trying to get a close up shot. im sure theres a way.

That's funny.. all this time i thought i was the only one having this same problem. Closing and re-launching the app works for me as well. its a bit inconvenient, but it doesnt happen all the time.
This happened to me. Took it to sprint and they gave me a NIB.

Yea happens to me also. Even in video lots of times it will get blurry and never recover ..

I had the same problem with my pre order phone. Returned it to best buy and got a new one with a flickering screen. Lol when I went to best buy I told the guy I was having problems with it he said with what the non focusing camera the flickering screen or the red pictures. That's pretty bad when they already know what the problems are a couple weeks after pre orders went out. I posted a YouTube video with the focus screwing up but I can't post a link to it yet.

If will focus lock if you're holding the camera button in the focus detent. I tested this myself, stuck it close to my keyboard and let it focus, then moved to focus on my TV, and then back to my keyboard and held the button in focus for a second or two while moving back to my TV and it didn't focus when I released the button till I went and pointed it at my keyboard again, then it started focusing again, and it focused on my TV after that.
BTW, what hardware revision is your phone? Mine is 003.
My wife's release date phone had this issue. If you focus on something close it wont refocus at any other focus length. I ended up returning it for a NIB one and never saw the issue again.
No it didn't matter what you did once it locked in it wouldn't auto focus at all unless you backed out and then back in. I don't know what rev it was since it was taken back to best buy about a week after I got it. I even tried other camera apps and it did the same thing. Even the autofocus clicking sound was a substantial popping sound. It was louder than the phone I have now.
Sent from my eVo lte *****
Also i Just tested the holding down the detent to hold the focus. It didn't work for me as soon as I moved it refocused.

I just tap on the screen to refocus if I have a problem (area I want in focus).
Seems like the focus works half the time, the other half it just sits there blurry and won't focus no matter if I try click on the screen somewhere or take a picture. The only way I've been getting it to focus is by reopening the camera app and sometimes even that doesn't work. I think I'm going to exchange it tomorrow.

I bought the phone on July 1st from Best Buy and it's still under the 30day warranty.
Would you guys characterize the issue like this to some extent?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710876
I went and traded in my old one today. Thankfully it went smoothly and I got one without the update! So far the autofocus on this one works perfectly. Will keep you all updated.
good luck ^
I'm considering taking mine into a Sprint store to have them look at it. I dont have TEP, I'm outside of my 30 day window, rooted, and S-Off.
I wonder if they're going to give me a hard time.

Gyroscope no longer working

I've had my s6 edge for nearly 2 weeks now and all has been good. today, I had a coworker take pictures of me doing silly stuff at work and when i reviewed the images, I noticed that they were all upside down. then when I try to take a picture, I notice all of the wordings are all upside down. I thought the auto rotation feature was off but no, its all. long story short, after clearing the camera cache and data, and after a factory reset, the camera is stuck upside down and also, nothing will rotate at all. Just wanted to give a head up if anyone runs into this similar issues. I'm going to go into a tmobile store tomorrow as soon as they open so I can get it replaced and not have to wait a million days until they get one in stock. a little disappointing but hey, its a brand new device. No hard feelings.
Some images to show how the issue looks
Better to get a fault now than the last few days of the warranty I guess.
Damn it still looks cool broken.
I went to order one yesterday but will cost to much to break the contract not worth an extra £120 as only another 5 days till I can break it for free.
Good luck on getting a replacement

my camera closing ifself after 2 minute around because of overheating

hi my friends. ı just have bought an x and tryed to capture video but that problem happened. so is there any chance to fix this?
what ı did
updated the latest version.
fixed with pc companion
did some changes at camera settings.
but phone getting hot even in normal using.
ı need help thnx.
Hmm. It has happened to me about 2 times since i bought this phone. 1. It was chraging so the temperature was a bit higher, thus the camera shut down. 2. It was a bright day and I was trying out different camera tools under the hot sun, camera shut down after 5 minutes. Also check if you are running a lot/or any intensive apps that cause it to overheat. Mine can overheat when charging or when having several apps open + camera. When i use the camera alone, it doesn't overheat.

If you are capturing full hd video for 10 minutes straight it can happen. Though it doesn't happen to me after only 10 minutes. What ROM are you running? You can disable the warning if you are rooted but then if using for long you will be risking harming the device
I second
Hey bro
I can confirm that I too experience heat issues in normal usage as well.
I live in India and temperature here is around 43 degrees Celsius. But even in AC room it gets hot when recording full HD videos within a minute.
So don't know where the problem is.. I bought it through flip kart and raised a return request. Let's see how it goes. (they don't have refund option so I'm kind of stuck with this phone)
IL update you.
If you figure out any workaround let me know

No I can't use a different rom as I bought the phone last week. So there's a 10 day replacement warranty which I don't want to lose and also the 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Regarding the solution u gave I guess it is working for you but can't do that coz I don't want my phone to look ugly

It was just a joke, mate I didn't try that solution XD, and my phone doesn't have the problem your's has
Cool brother. I too was joking.
Was really frustrated with the phone but if there was any consolation, in AC my phone scored around 82k in AnTuTu (no heat now) and at the same time friends iPhone 6s scored 80k.
I don't know where the problem is.. Confused ?

I really have no clue, if your supplier doesn't replace your phone you can try disabling the overheat warning with root (since you aren't actually overheating you won't have problems, just keep it safe). I start to worry there are some faulty XX models. For example, mines battery is terrible and I dont understand why. We are talking about 2.8 hours on screen time. Sadly I voided my warranty before noticing the problem

Nah, its not worth the trouble for me replacing the battery even if it costed 10 bucks. It most likely wont fix it. Roms do very little changes. I will try running a debloat script someone has posted in case my badly deleted bloated apps cause problems (though I cant see anything like that reported)
Ok here's the update.. The phone cannot be replaced it seems. The guy who came for verification said that the battery temperature should be more than 50 degrees then only phone will be replaced with the new one. But the camera itself closes may be at 45 degrees. I cannot get a screen shot. So im stuck with this phone.
So have to make the most out of it other than the camera.
