I recently had issues with my phone and have had to root it and try various ROMS. I am currently on CyanogenMod 5. Okay, now to the problem: ever since my phone crashed and I've tried these mods, my camera's shutter won't work. The camera focuses as if it will take the picture, but then it freezes on the picture and doesn't load, nor does the picture appear in the gallery later. This is the same for the original camera app, the Camera Magic app and the Retro Camera apps I downloaded, and Google Goggles. However, the camcorder still works and records video just fine. How can I fix this so my camera works again?
Thank you,
Abi
HTC Magic 32A CyanogenMod 5
No one has any sort of solution to this?
same here with CM 6 .... picture taken but it does not save to gallery, after some time force to close or wait. sometimes reboot works sometimes same issue.
I'm going to bump this. I have the exact same problem. ANY SOLUTIONS PLEASE?
Does my radio file need updated? HELP?
there is no fix, it is google not releasing the camera module, nor helping out the issue.
Hi all. I have an HD2 with the stock Android Gallery app. I don't like it. IMHO the photo viewing app on the Windows Mobile HD2(HTC ALBUM) is MUCH better. So much cleaner and QUICKER. Does anyone know of an app for Android that is similar to the HTC Album viewer? Where when I open it all it shows is a list of thumbnails of my recent camera pics?
Thanks.
I dont remember what the HTC Gallery looked like, anyhow, I hate the 3D Gallery because it's so slow while loading pics and sometimes for me it wont even load at all, im using the 2D Gallery and it works great for me, pics load up instantly, no waiting.
I got it from here:

thanks for the link.. me neither liked the gallery.. superslow
Cool thanks. Not exactly what I wanted but better than the 3D gallery IMHO.
I am having a gallery issue where I select a picture and and different picture loads. Sometimes from the same album or different album. Shutting down sometimes resolves the issue or a soft reset and sometimes it does not. Sometimes I have to go into USB mode and add or delete a picture for ot to work properly again. One time the images in my download album al appeared blurry. I downloaded a picture from my email and then they all appeared normal again. Anyone else have this gallery bug?

Another one of those mind boggling simple bugs in Gingerbread/Nexus S.
Yes, I've seen similar, in that if I take a picture, it often won't show in the gallery unless I open it via a file explorer app from the sdcard.
I haven't tried forcing a media scan manually (there are apps for that), to see if that addresses it.
The Nexus S feels much more like a BETA product (software wise) than I recall the Nexus 1 feeling.

I had this exact same problem. You have to delete all of the thumbnails for your photos so that they reload. The only thing is, the thumbnails are no longer stored in the DCIM folder like they were pre-Gingerbread. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where they're stored - I used root explorer to find them and delete them.
/Android/data/
You will see a folder called 'com.cooliris.media' delete it. The gallery app will regenerate your album thumbs.

This problem has been reported to Google. Please visit the link and star the report to bring more attention to it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419 Thanks.
I mean wth do we have to go through all that to see our pics... they took forever to fix the text issue they said they have a fix for which we haven't received. The fix for blurry mms is fixed thank god. Now this? Yeah the N1 did feel like a better product but the updates helped that one too. These are stupid things that shouldn't be an issue though.

This issue happens on and off; it's quite absurd. My pictures are once again not opening to the correct photos. As I've said before, it's stuff like this (among a slew of other issues and glitches) which make Gingerbread, and to some degree Android, feel like a second rate experience.
Has anyone also experienced that sometimes pictures aren't clear in the gallery? Often, the picture will come up unclear, but after a second, will be clear as it's meant to be. But sometimes the clarity doesn't happen.
Does it have anything to do with the internal memory or something again (similar to the random ringtone change issue)?
Is this yet another glitch of Android?
Edit: I should mention this is not the MMS issue which is often mentioned. I'm talking about regular photos that are taken with the Camera. Those sometimes don't clear up either.
Yeah, I get this too.
I wait until all the pics are done downloading from the SD card... then I pick the picture.

It happens to me randomly even long after the SD card has loaded.
Why is the gallery reader like this anyway, where it is blurry at first, then clear?
Promise you its not androids fault. You will never EVER have a phone with HTC SENSE do that.

My gallery just freezes when trying to load. Sometimes the newest downloaded or pictures just taken won't show up, its random.

The low res fade into higher res gallery quirk is more of a feature and is how the gallery always has shown photos even back on the nexus one. It allows quick flipping enough photos without having to insanely cache everything in full from the start. It only should take a second to flick over though.
I'm loving the nexus s gallery performance. I'm sorry to hear some aren't as thrilled.
One if the posters spoke about this stuff not happening in htc - that's rubbish, the 3d gallery acts the same there too, only worse, because oh the lack of hyper fast inand. And the htc gallery is rubbish, it struggles to even show thumbnails if you have too many pics. I speak from experience owning the desire hd, which is the most powerful htc phone to date.
The wrong photo issue is completely fixed by clearing the photo cache and then restarting the device. It didn't clear up until the restart, for some reason.
I have some issues with the gallery as well. But I must say that it performs 10X better then it did on my N1, it was sooo slow and laggy on that thing!!!
Get JustPictures! from the market, way better that Gallery3d imo, plus you can access your picasa, flickr, facebook, smugmug, etc pics from there as well.
Android Gallery sucks ... It just sucks. It does not display in high quality, 16 bits instead of 24 bits. You will see terrible color banding on gradient colors.
Google just lied when they told us everything is 32 bits on Android 2.3.
Nah, that's not true.
I hate that because HTC Sense gallery is much better.
Skip that 3D animation transition, it is an image gallery. Without high quality output, that's no good.
JustPictures is the same, it still display terrible color banding.

I'm very happy with the Gallery performance, and as has been said the low res image fading to high res is a feature of the Android gallery, it's always done that on every handset I've owned.
The gallery has it's share of quirks/bug in the NS version of it, but agreed with others, the fading is a design feature, not a bug.
Has anyone encountered the situation wherein even the application images are in your gallery?
Does anybody else find the camera app a little buggy/laggy on occasion? Sometimes it works quick and flawlessly, but other times It stutters to take photos or takes a while to process them before the next photo can be captured and stutters even when I'm rotating from portrait to landscape.
exactly the same here...i'm disapointed.
someone else or is my unit faulty ?
I've yet to encounter any lag in the camera app and I have been using it very often. Even shooting multiple HDR shots I don't notice any lag in the camera app while the HDR is still processing for previous pictures.
I am usually not running other applications when using the camera though. Camera lag may be the result of having too many apps running at once.

That's what I'm assuming is going on, but I expected the phone to do a better job at killing apps to give priority to the Camera app. I came from using CyanogenMod so I'm not sure if memory management is handled much differently in stock Marshmallow. I also experience stutter loading Google Play Music, Facebook and activating Google Now on a few occasions. I'm a heavy multi-tasker and switch back and forth between dozens of apps in just a few minutes.
Could this also be 810 throttling?
I'm noticing this as well. After double-tapping the power button, the camera app sometimes takes a few seconds to launch. This happens even if you set the gesture to open up a third party camera app. It also sometimes pauses after capturing a picture and lags when you switch from portrait to landscape. I had a Moto X Pure Edition that I returned to buy this phone, and although it had other faults, I never experienced this issue on my MXPE.
I've had similar trouble, usually when switching to the gallery to view a video and rotating the screen. It's frozen up pretty bad a few times now, end up on a white screen for media player, swipe it away in recents along with gallery and camera and eventually it comes good. Early days still I guess
same here and sometimes stop working
I had it constantly force close yesterday, had to reboot to fix it.

I have the same problem. Camera freezes up when I move out around and it lags when u tried to take a picture. Music stutter on Google play when rotating screen. Any solutions?

I believe the music stutter when rotating the screen is caused by the L and R stereo channels switching speakers. On my N6 (probably true for 6P as well), the top speaker is L and bottom is R when phone is in portrait orientation.
Since after an update (b184) my front camera is super laggy and not smooth like before. This happens only with the stock app and not always, with google camera it is smooth. Clear data and cache of the app doesnt help, I haven't tried factory reset. Any other idea that might solve it ?
I haven't tried other camera apps. But the lag you say is the common problem BUT it is not that big issue. When you record video, it becomes 30 fps. However to take a picture, you need to keep phone steady as possible as you can
I have the same issue, just use google camera
Yeah but stock apps are always better than 3rd party. I need the integrations it has, swipe from lock screen, double tap volume down, direct link with gallery and I don't want to use another gallery app for that.
