Had this phone for about 1 week now. Everything been fine until today. I tried to take a few pictures, but I couldn't. Received an a pop up with "Cannot connect to camera" I'm not sure what's causing this issue, I cleared the data/cache on it and still occurs. Is there any solution to this issue?
Thank you.

I have exactly the same situation.. But it's weird - ported LGCamera works without errors, other apps (market or aosp based) throw error. Sometime clear app data help, but only sometimes..
It could be hardware problem?

18/03? It didn't helped.. I was testing old and newest ROMs - same situation :( I think it could be some hardware problem - currently I have version from Singapore build at 02/2014 ;)

EDIT#1
Weird.. I will go back to stock - test, then install custom ROM.. Something go wrong - when I'm using ported LGCamera.apk in CM/Slim/PA it's working, other camera apps - don't..

I guess I found out the issue of why it was being caused. I also have a Nexus 5 and both had the APP Flashlight by Go Launcher. Seems to me when I downloaded and used it couple of times it caused my camera not to work on both phone. Uninstalled it and now it's working fine with now issues. I'm not sure if you guys also have a flashlight app, but maybe you can give it a try.

I'm on stock KK right now = 0 problems, so I think it's not hardware. LG camera and other apps always working fine.
Now I will go back to AOSP and test apps again :)

Here's a thought. After a new rom anybody feel there is a dial pad code to bridge the connection gap.

Having similar issue. Flashed a new bootstack and camera stopped working. Factory reset, fresh install tot, then kdz, then cloudy g3. Camera still force closes and other camera apps can't connect. I can take one picture after a fresh install (which I did three times flashing from tot...).
