Question

So, i have a Samsung phone. And its been two days that whenever i open the camera it says "camera failed". Restarting the phone doesn't help. So i tried googling and found a solution which said to take out the battery and hold the power button for a few seconds and restart the phone. It worked actually but just for a few hours only. So does anyone have any other solution? I believe it's a software issue , will the factory reset help?

Answer 6

Join XDA Developers community and get a custom ROM with custom recoveries and install stock android ROM. It would be light weight and must faster OR you can also go for Samsung bloated ROMs.

How much does it cost?

---

It'll just cost your time OR you can get it done by any mobile shop in Hafeez Center if you're living in Lahore.

---

They'll take 500 to 1000 I guess.

thk hai. i will it try it by myself first. fingers crossed :D thanks man :)

---

It isn't that difficult. At most you'll hard brick your phone and it won't be of any use :)

Not even temporarily?

clear "camera" app data and cache and then restart the phone, its works on nexus 5 for few times

Comments

I'll look into it. Thanks ☺

---

Just Fyi... I have used many solutions mentioned in this article in the past and they worked. Most recently I fixed my Galaxy Grad Duos by Clearing App data and cache of the following: All apps that use camera All apps that use gallery or Photos. Turn off phone. Take out batter for 180 seconds. Restart!!

Answer 9

Hardware fault. Which phone?

Comments

Grand prime

---

Get a custom rom from xda, flash it. Use it for couple of hours then flash back the stock rom. If it doesn't help then take out the back. Remove camera, clean the connector and reconnect it. It'll will work. If still it doesn't work then board ke IC ka problem hai.

---

i musnt do it by myself , right? :/

---

You should. Just watch a video on Youtube how to remove the back. Its not that hard.

---

Sahi hai. Thanks man

Answer 13

Its a virus! Happened to one of my phones! Had to throw the phn :D it infected many samsung devices in two months! Gradually your phone will be stuck in a boot loop! Mostly it happens when you install an app apk outside of google play store!
