I've read as many posts on this problem from the S3 through the S5 and have still not come up with a solution to the problem that's plaguing my S3. There are a lot of different hypothesis across the internet about the cause of this problem. I'll give the details with my personal experience.
As a side note, there is a possibility I could have flashed something wrong or rooted something wrong, but, given every other application works with no force closes on anything, I'll assume that everything was rooted and flashed correctly.
I've tried a couple of different ROMs after rooting the SGS3, but have stuck with Wicked. Unfortunately, I did not try out the camera until I came across Wicked, which is where the problem presented itself. This does not mean that it's Wicked itself, but possibly a problem further along than that.
Here's the specs on the phone.
I went from a fully updated software version on the T-Mobile USA Samsung Galaxy S3 non-LTE to
Android 4.1.1
Baseband T999 UVUEMJC
Kernel 3.0.65 Deviant
Build Wicked V10
I've tried the normal Force Stop Camera then clear Cache, cleared Davlik, tried other cameras, Factory Reset twice, reloaded ROM, and will flash new baseband (4.1's) My guess is that's the problem, possibly.
I've checked hardware as well from tightening screws, covering the camera, and removing the rear camera and plugging it back in; no change. As well as testing the hardware via *#0*#. The front camera works, rear/Mega does not. Which leads me to believing it's a software issue and not a hardware issue.
