Camera Failed!?

---

Was showing my phone off today in theatre, and went to do google goggles and it went black ... waiting waiting... nothing..

Tried again and black..

tried normal camera Failed to connect to camera pops up...

rebooted phone 3 times and couldnt get it working, my heart sank as it means I would have to ship it back to UK from AU.

All of a sudden it is working.

Anyone else had this issue? I took the battery out and rebooted and it still wasn't working under camera or app...

It sounds like you have a corrupt correlation between Goggles & WiFi.
It's been mentioned here.

As mentioned by one of the persons on that thread do the following:-
"Try uninstalling the app, then reinstall it but when it asks if you want to enable or disable history, select disable".

Read the thread and no that advice didn't work

I am unable to find what triggers it to fail as I didn't even use goggles today, just the camera.

Even though you did not use it, it may still be being called every now and again.
Consider removing it temporary just to test.

Otherwise, lets look at what other software you have installed which may be interfering with the camera?
Do you have installed and use Fring?
It is notorious for doing this.

I did have fring installed. But I have done a factory reset and hoping it doesn't occur again.

Ill leave fring off and see if it helps. If it was common for fring I wonder how my google searches didn't come up with it?

Ta for your replies Beards, This is my first smart phone and still getting used to it all

I did uninstall goggles and reboot but it was still failing, so fring seems like it was maybe to blame..

No problem with the replies and helping you out.... I know what it is like when you are stuck and have no one other to turn to.. quite frustrating.

My money is definitely on Fring.
As to searches but you could not find... have a look here and read post number 1127.

i was having same problem on jf7 f/w you mentioned fring so i realized i had not gone in fring and ran the test video call.. i did that and now camera is working again.. not sure if that was the issue or not.

Again my money is on fring being the culprit.

Got that also on mine today.

And indeed, that was because of Fring.

Uninstalled, and camera is back.

Thanks for the tip guys.
