Camera app not working - s20+ - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories

When I open the camera app the screen remains black. Even when I switch between the front and back camera nothing happens. When I open the samsung test menu. Both the mega cam and front cam work fine. Tried clearing the cach of the camera app, that doesn't work. Any suggestion what to do next ? Kr, Stephan

When i try it with another app like 'opencamera' both camera's do work fine. Also tried an wipe cache partition without succes.

Updated to the latest software version.

[Q] Camera won't shoot still photos (video works fine)

I'm using the void forever ROM with fserve's Goldenleaf .v110919 kernel.
When use the stock camera app, I can record video without any trouble, but if I try to take a photo, the focusing reticle shows up on screen and nothing happens. None of the buttons work except the Home button to exit the app.
I also have Lightbox photos installed and even that camera won't work.
On the other hand, I tried out lgCamera (from the Android Market) and I can take photos with that without trouble.
I barely ever use the camera (because let's face it, it's terrible) but does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
I'm tempted to just put on a stock LG ROM and see if that fixes it, but barring that is there any way to troubleshoot this/figure out what could be wrong?
Uninstalling the Barcode Scanner app and re-installing it seems to have fixed the camera issue. Quite weird.
i too use void forever ROM with fserve's Goldenleaf kernel
and faced this problem
before
i just went into recovery
wiped /user data (factory reset)
wiped cache,d-cache,battery stats
and installed/flashed kernel again
now i dont have this issue
Instead of wiping the whole data partition you could simply wipe camera's data (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Camera > Clean data and/or cache). Also try Camera360 or CameraZOOM, they provide some additional features.

Camera crahses

One of the best parts of the v10 is the camera, after I rooted the camera now randomly crashes, and i cannot open it, snapchat, twitter, anwhere.
Does anyone know what couls be the issue, I can post any logs you might need to diagnose
You've most likely already tried this, but have you tried force stopping the camera app and clearing the data and cache? If you download another camera app, like Google Camera, does it crash too?

Yep that dkesnt work, and when i open a different camera app it says it cant reach the camera.
This all started happening after I stsrted messing witht the mixer_paths.xml file, but that shouldnt affect it since that deals only with audio and I only played with the DAC volume
My front facing camera started crashing before I rooted. Nothing including factory reset has fixed it . Guessing it's a hardware issue. I'm not on marshmallow yet
Try factory reseting then flashing the kdz again. The camera uses a lot of audio drivers for video recording.

It seems that i /m facing the same problem here. I'm running the AEROM v5 and out of the sudden the camera stopped working, the flash as well. Every camera app that i used only opens the front camera and i cant even use the LED light as a torch. I contacted the seller and suggested a factory reset , i did it with no success. i think that it might be a "missing driver". I do not know a lot apart from flashing roms, recovery etc. Trying to work it through.
Did you try to open the cover and check if the camera is connected properly at the board?
Sounds like hardware.. Any other experiencing this?

It is a hardware matter , at least for me

problem, setting has stopped

Greetings to all.
I have a lg v30 + h933 and it turns out that every time I try to enter settings, I get the message of which settings were stopped and so it does not allow me to enter settings, try erasing cache from the same application, forcing the arrest and there is no solution. Restore from factory or the problem continues, I do not know what else to do. Someone with a good heart who can help me with the request. Thank you.
It seems this problem is caused by corrupted cache-files or troubles with the RAM(-Files) or 3rd Party Applications.
Try to restart in safe mode (While phone is on, hold power button -> hold for 3 seconds "Shutdown")
This will start your phone without 3rd Party Apps - if you can enter settings now, deinstall the last installed apps which could cause the problem. You could try to wipe cache data in Apps from Settings.
If it dont works you could try to wipe cache partition or restore to factory if you didnt tried till now.
Did you have installed TWRP or do you have Stock Recovery?
Do you have a GCam 6 port installed? I had the same issue until I uninstalled the buggy GCam port I had installed.

erase data and cache of all my applications and the error disappeared, start a port of the gcam and the error came back, uninstall and now everything is fine

You know of some port of the gcam that is stable for the v30 and includes night sight and wide angle
Same problem on my H930!
Also I'm looking for a GCam Port with night sight and wideangle.
I've been using this one for Night Sight and haven't had any problems so far: NoHex_MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2a+.apk

That version has not the option to choose the wide angle camera...

NVM - I found the solution:
You have to open Settings and in BSG MOD settings activate "Add AUX to Camera Switch". Once done, go back to the cam and switch the cam with the bottom left icon twice. It will swith between Normal Cam, Front Cam and Wide Cam.
Hope it helps.
A common problem that causes certain settings pages to crash is having a theme applied to the system (At least in most of the cases I've seen)
If settings is just crashing immediately when you open it then this would be a different issue.

stock camera keeps stopping

Hello,
I recently got a mi a3.
Today the stock camera ''keeps stopping'' , I can still use open camera and Google camera redmi note 7 port by BSG. I installed the last update with 5 July security patch yesterday maybe it's linked.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
Does anyone know if we can use the wide angle camera with an other app ?
I don't have that kind of issues on latest security updates...stock camera work fine here...try clearing stock camera data and cache first...

I already tried that :/ Even with safe reboot it doesn't work.
I'm going to factory reset.
I'm having the same issue. Also, the camera is very laggy, whenever I click a photo the camera takes 1 or 2 seconds to respond.

Yaaaaay It worked perfectly. Tnxxxxx
Just open settings -> search "Usage access" -> tap on the result -> choose "usage access" from list -> allow camera. DONE
(It's suspicious why camera needs usage access tho!!!!)
