Samsung Note 4 Camera Failed

Just received my Note 4 and set it up. Camera does not work. It says Camera Failed. I turned device off and back on, forced stop on camera and cleared, no software updates are available. Really don't want to do factory reset with hours invested in setting up. Any suggestions?

Matnean,
The camera function is definitely important so I totally understand your concern. Let's get to the bottom of this and get your camera working right.
When are you getting the camera failed error? Have you ever been able to use the camera since you purchased the phone? Any damage physical or liquid damage on the phone?
Try running the phone in safe mode http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-121765/ and retest the camera. If you are able to use the camera in safe mode without getting the error, the issue is due to a 3rd party app. You will then need to start uninstalling the 3rd party apps one at a time to determine which one is causing the issue. Keep me posted if the issue persist.

    Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
    I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
    I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
    Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

  • Samsung Note 3 Camera and Flash Issues

    I have a Samsung Note 3 that is only a few months old and the Camera continues to not function correctly.
    Android 4.4.2
    * Flash will randomly turn off and I will need to restart my device to get it working again.
    * Pictures taken with camera are slow and very often out of focus.
    The camera flash issue is something most people might not notice until they absolutely need the flash.
    The camera taking a long time to focus/take pictures I'm sure a lot of people have seen on a more regular basis.

        Hello Tazman4u, a working phone is super important! My apologies for the issues plagueing your device. Please test the phone in safe mode: http://vz.to/1aFxLK8 If issue persists, you will want to backup contacts, pics, and files to perform a hard reset: http://vz.to/1kpmPp0

  • Web camera fails to initialize, not in device manager

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite L650D with Windows 7 'Home Prem' and have recent issues with my webcam. All was running smoothly for a year or more until one day this error message appeared " Web camera initialization failed. Please restart application or computer ".
    I also had trouble on Sykpe with the camera failing mid-conversation then not loading at all. I have un-installed and re-installed Skype in the hope that it was the problem...unfortunately not. Then after searching through the forum and Toshiba's website, I checked my application and Device Manager and was not even able to locate the device, it is not listed.
    I am more than happy to try anything to fix this problem ( although I am not very computer literate! ) and would really appreciate any advice anyone can offer!
    Many thanks =)

  • I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

    I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

  • Samsung note 3 is not giving audible alerts for all my text messages since the 4.4.4 update.

    Samsung note 3 is not giving audible alerts for all my text messages since the 4.4.4 update.  I get an audible tone about 3/4 of the time.  Thinking a conversation is over I come back 45 minutes later to find another text I didn't know came in.  I've restarted my phone and checked my message settings.   Any ideas?  Factory reset is not an option!

    I'd try going back into the Text Message settings. In Sound setting, work the setting from None to an alert. Then in Vibrate put a check in the box then uncheck. Just to see if that will free it up, could be a possible corruption with the new software update?

  • My Samsung tv came pre-loaded with V-Tunes. I prefer in Tune-In Radio. How can I get it on there?

    My samsung tv came pre-loaded with V-Tunes.  I prefer Tune-IN Radio which was pre-installed on my other samsung tv which was recently replaced with larger unit without realizing that Tune-In wasn't installed on this new one..... How do I get it installed. It ia not appearing in the Samsung Apps on my screen.   Frustrated!!!!!

    Go to the page linked below, and there's an option to "check your device". If you click this, you can enter the make and model etc. of your new TV and find out for certain if it is compatible or not.

  • Malware or virus on Samsung Note II?

    Anybody had a phone taken over by malware or a virus?  Are Samsung Note IIs a target of viruses or malware?  My phone came up with a screen message "don't turn off target" and was unresponsive.  It had been plugged in for hours and had not charged at all. When I found it it was inresponsive to any commands.  I unplugged the phone and removed the battery.  It then was responsive but said battery was critically low.  I turned it off and plugged it in multiple times and each time it turned itself on and quit charging and said battery was critically low. Anybody seen anything like this?

    Were you running antivirus software on your phone before this happen? What phone are you using? Have you installed any new apps or had any updates? Need more detailed information.

    recently bought a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of googling i got it setup properly with the correct camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found my old laptop was very slow when processing the hundreds of images I usually take on a weekly basis.  I bought a new faster laptop but when I looked for the cd with the software and serial I could not find it in the Xmas clutter.  I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got it working on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number from my previously installed version and insert it into the trail version to make it work for me?
    Myron

    Mea culpa
    While i registered all my cs2 thru 6 versions and my lightroom 2 thru 4 versions and recorded the serials and saved the adobe registration emails.  Since this came as a freebee with the camera i neglected this vital step.  I have the instslled version on my old laptop but want to install it on my new one.  Thanks to Jim Hess I got the serial so all is well in my world and I will register it with ADOBE

  • 720 camera fails to launch post black update

    Hi
    Lumia 720.
    OS version 8.0.10517.15
    Firmware 3056.40000.1349.2004 
    Since the black update the camera fails to launch either from the camera button or any app that uses the camera.  All that happens is the camera attempts to open then depending on what was trying to open it it either displays message saying 'the camera failed to launch' or it justs goes back to the last screen I had open.
    Tried hard and soft resets and also camera rest, no joy.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, Uncle_Mickey. Glad to see you in the Nokia Support Discussions! Since you've covered the basic troubleshooting steps, I suggest downloading the Nokia Software Recovery Tool to reset and recover your phone's software:

  • Samsung Note Not Seen using USB

    PROBLEM: Samsung Note running Jellybean .. Doesn't show in Device Manager when USB connected. Spent many hours with both Samsung & HP tech support. Plug & play drivers are ok on every other laptop I tried ( a total of 8 ) all running Windows 8.1 EXCEPT THE HP LAPTOPS!! (Exception .. One Toshiba I tried failed too.) It has to be a conflict with something installed by HP. I know I can work around by loading an SD card with files and inserting it but I shouldn't have to do this. I have tried Samsung Kies but this failed and quite frankly, I don't want to do anything more than plug the usb in, see it in devices and transfer files to it. Help.. There must be someone else using an older Samsung tablet with an HP laptop running 8.1.

    Hi,
    Have you tried to use USB 2.0 port ?
    Regards.

  • I have been trying to put music I bought on I tunes on my Samsung Note 2 phone but it won't play.I try to convert them to mp3 format so I can play them on my phone but it won't let me convert them because it says they are protected. Can anybody help me?

    I have been trying to put music I bought on Itunes on my Samsung Note 2 but my media player won't play m4p files so I tried to convert the files to mp3 but I couldn't, because a message says they are protected files. I then tried downloading different media player apps to see if they would play them but had no success.Can anybody help with a solution to this problem?

    First quit iTunes and look in your iTunes folder.
    On Windows, the iTunes folder is in your My Music folder.
    On Mac, the iTunes folder is in your Music folder.
    Follow this path:    iTunes > iTunes Media > Music >
    Here there should be all your music folders. Open the folders containing the music that is not playing. Right click "get info" (mac) or right click "properties" (windows).
    This window will tell you the file type. iTunes will play music in AAC, MP3, and Lossless, etc.
    If the files are .wma you will need to convert them into ACC or MP3 format for it to play on an iPod. In iTunes, highlight the tracks that you want to convert, then on the menu bar, Advanced > Create AAC/MP3 version and the tracks will convert. Delete the old files.
    If the file extenstion is anything like .exe .txt .rar  then you don't have an audio file.

  • When I try to use Firefox Browser on my Samsung Note 3, the screen comes up white after the orange bar runs across the top. It worked yesterday.

    March, 9th, 2015 -- My Samsung Note 3 is on AT&T wireless, but I Have Xfinity wi-fi at home. Firefox browser worked yesterday & last night. Today when I search it comes up with a blank white screen after the orange bar runs across the top & never loads anything (words or pictures). When I open the tabs in the side bar, it shows the pictures for them, but still only loads a white page after clicking actual link. It will not sync the last few saved bookmarks with my computer. I made sure that I have the latest android version installed, but It still does this even after uninstalling & re-installing & restarting the phone. AT&T had an update a couple of days ago & I've already talked with their tech support with no resolution. I don't know if there is conflict with AT&T's update & current Android Firefox browser. Please Fix, thank you.

    Yes, it does the same thing whether on wi-fi or 4G.
