Samsung galaxy nexus camera not working

So all of a sudden my camera doesn't work. It tells me unfortunately gallery has stopped working. I went into safe mode still didn't work did a factory reset but even that failed. HELP!!

Generally, if a factory reset doesnt do the trick, there isn't much else you will be able to do to fix the issue. I have heard of this issue before, and the only workaround I've heard is to back up all your photos, perhaps to a computer using the Samsung Kies program, or drag and drop to desktop, and then delete them all from your phone's dcim file folder, then go and force stop the app, and try to download an alternate gallery app from the play store. Moderate rate of success on that. Or you could always look into getting a warranty replacement, since even an fdr didn't work.

  • Hi, on a new MBPR 13, I transferred pics from my Samsung Tracfone smartphone using AndroidTransferFile app worked good. My Samsung Galaxy Tab will not transfer with ATF, tried Samsung Kies also no luck, any ideas? Thanks...

    Today I downloaded a new version of Kies, 3.1.0.15042_6, and it seemed to work fine.  I was able to backup my Note 3 running Lollipop with no hesitation.  Files transferred to my Mac running Yosemite, OS X 10.10.3, easily.  The download is available at http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/

  • Samsung Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2 Update

    When will Verizon approve the Android 4.2 update for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?  The slowness of Verizon to approve updates is inexcusable!  And to that I'll say, "I'm done!"  I am so disgusted with Verizon and their inability to provide updates to what is supposed to be a "Nexus" device.  It's not like they have to manipulate around manufacturer software.  It's pure Google operating system.  Load and test the drivers for CDMA and LTE and then launch the update.  At the MOST that should take no more than 2 weeks!  Since I have had my Nexus on Verizon, I have not recieved a single update prior to 2 months!  Android 4.2 update from Android 4.1 is so miniscule and, might I add, required no additional new drivers, so what is the hold up Verizon?  Where is the Android 4.2 update?  And, yeah, I know some techy out there is going to say, " well why don't you just jailbreak and load it yourself?"  Because I shouldn't HAVE to jailbreak my phone.  It's not a matter of can I do it, it's why can't I do it without jailbreaking from Verizon?  They sold this phone initially by claiming it to be a "pure Nexus" device and it's been nothing of the kind ever since!  So I say, "I'm done!"  That means that when my contract is up, I'm return to AT&T!  They have upgraded the towers in the area that I live and my friends on AT&T say their signals are even better than Verizon's.  AT&T's new LTE towers download at faster speeds than Verizon's too.  I would have happily stayed with Verizon if they would have only taken the Pure Nexus experience seriously!
    To those who have stated that I've said this for Jelly Bean 4.1, you are correct!  The only reason I'm still here is because of the hefty penalty Verizon will charge me for terminating my contract early.  My contract doesn't expire until December 2013 so it would be a rather hefty penalty to pay.  But Android 4.2 has confirmed that Verizon refuses to change their position on slow updates, so when my contract is up (as I believe I stated on 4.1), you won't see REDNIBKRAM on Verizon anymore! 
    It appears as though the Verizon "love freaks" just can't seem to get the message.  I'm not saying that the updates aren't difficult, I'm saying that if Verizon chooses to use CDMA technology over GSM and that requires them to jump through hoops to get updates completed, then they should have NEVER agreed to carry a "pure Nexus" device, or at the very least, should have NEVER advertised the device as such.  My whole point is that Verizon LIED TO ME and told me that my phone was a "pure Nexus" device when I purchased it and switched from a GSM phone company (AT&T) when, in fact, they knew that I would NOT be getting updates directly from Google as the GSM versions of the SGN do.  At the very least, if Verizon really wanted to make this right, they would offer to allow anyone with a SGN phone who was lied to when they purchased it to exit from their existing contract without penalty, so we can purchase a "TRUELY PURE NEXUS" phone direct from Google or provide us with a choice of another phone (Windows Phone, iPhone, etc.) without having to renew a 2 year contract. 
    All I'm saying is that if Verizon won't or can't update the phones they themselves advertised as a "pure Nexus" phone, then they should make it right to the people they lied to.

    I didn't go back to AT&T for JB in August because the of VERY HEFTY penalty I will have to pay for cancelling my contract early and I got the Android 4.1 JB update.  Once I received the update and because the the penalty, I decided to give BIGRED another change at the next update.  I thought, "maybe it was such a huge update that they really needed to make sure everything was done right."  So, now here we are waiting for the 4.2.1 update and I'm still getting the same response from BIGRED as I got for JB 4.0 update.  It's quite clear that VZ DOESN'T CARE about customer satisfaction.  They use the excuse that they want their network to be the best and they want their phones to operate with little or no problems, yet when problems ARE discovered, it takes them months to send out the updates that Google has already released months prior.  I have discussed updates with Verizon, Google and Samsung support personnel.  I have even contacted Verizon Corporate and I fully understand the process by which updates are done, and believe me when I say that the update process at VZ is in serious need of restructuring.  Especially when it comes to Android devices.  But as far as this Android 4.2.1 update is concerned, I have spoken with Google and they have informed me that there was NO changes made to the operating system that would affect the CDMA or LTE drivers on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, so there should be no reason why Verizon would not want to release the update.  The small changes (additions) to the operating system would in no way affect the communications on VZ.  So why hasn't VZ released this update yet.  Corporate says they need to test the software to ensure it doesn't affect communications on their network, yet Google hasn't changed anything in the operating system that would, so what are they testing?  VZ may have the better network, but CARRIER EXPERIENCE ISN'T ALL ABOUT THE BEST CONNECTION.  It's about customer SATISFACTION and not receiving updates on a pure NEXUS device in a timely manner is inexcusable and in NO WAY SATISFYING!  So when my contract is up, I will be returning to AT&T or giving T-Mobile a try on a pure Nexus device with no contract!

  • Galaxy Nexus will not Roam

    Hi All,
    I live in Kansas where in a lot of places service can be poor or not existent. While visiting my family and my girlfriends family over Christmas, who live in two different areas in Southeast Kansas, where both phone and 4g/3g/1x data signal does not exist from Verizon. US Cellular is the main carrier for service in both areas with great coverage and I noticed that my new galaxy nexus did not automatically connect to the US Cellular network in either location for roaming. I was left with no connectivity at all for the entire weekend.  We also have a LG ENVY 3 that will not roam as well. 
    PRL on my Galaxy Nexus is 15098.
    PRL on the three LG Envy 3's is 52642.  These three phones are all up to the latest version using the *228.
    My question is there a reason why my galaxy nexus did not automatically connect to the US Cellular network to roam?
    Also is there a way to force my phone to connect to US Cellular when I am in these dead zones for Verizon?
    Thanks in advance?
    As a side note, I have the Data Roaming checked in the Mobile Network Settings and I have the System Select set to Automatic.  I also had the data type set to CDMA/3g only.
    I was also an Alltel customer that was converted to Verizon, but when I got my Motorola Droid in December 2009 we were required to change our family plan to the Verizon Wireless 700 minute plan.   

    I can Vouch for this Demmo as i too live in this state were the Cows are more in Numbers than our cellphone Towers. In the Cities the phones work good but you get out in the Rule Area's an you better have a Satallite phone!! that is if you can Afford it. When Alltel was our Carrier it Ruled the Country Side for some time then in 2007 or 2008 they were allowed in the Wichita Area an this was good for us an it worked great because we didn't have to worry about Roaming but there were still some open spots that could drop a Call every now an then an one of them is on K96 over around the Mt Hope Area. An to this day it is still there.
    But if Verizon got all of the Existing Towers that Alltel Owned an that are along the Highways.  From what i heard are good Towers an they stick up high enough up in the Air to boost the Signal in a wide swath.
    U.S. Cellular:
    An from what i heard from Nephew U.S. Cellular is big in the Area of North an North East Oklahoma an Southeast East Kansas an Doing a Search on Cell Reception Confirmed that Which i figured they Gobbled that up when the Verizon/Alltel Buy went Thru. But they are in No hurry to get there 4G across the Country like Verizon is an as for Roaming agreements i not shure if any exist another place that is bad for Verizon phones is in Missouri around the Columbia Area were the University is that is another area that is big with U.S.Cellular an as i said Verizon Phones don't work to good there. My dad is a truck driver an back some time ago when he delivered groceries at the Dillons stores there in Columbia.  He tried on several occasion to call but the calls just wouldn't go thru an he found out that since Verizon does'nt have a presence there it's hard to get out.

  • Camera not working on new profile

    I have 3 profiles on this same Skype, on one laptop. 1 profile works fine but on second profile camera not working (video not showing), audio works fine. I created a new account (e-mail is same from second profile) and is this same - video not working. I dont understand what is wrong. This same laptop, this same camera, this same drivers/windows7, latest Skype, and from 3 profiles one working fine. Please help!!!

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

    Hi, sanaayesha. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. We'd love to know more about your concern. When you say camera isn't working, does it mean it's inaccessible, not taking sharp images, etc.? Does this happen to both main and secondary camera? Are you getting this issue regardless of the lens you're using? You can try checking the workarounds given on this link to further isolate the issue: My camera is not working correctly. The content of this link is applicable regardless of your location. Hope to hear from you the soonest.

    Hi Hellside,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps.
    -Jason
