Camera control icons not working for photos - EVO 4G General

My EVO camera works fine for video.
But when I try to take a picture, I press the "click" button, and all photo mode icons disappear, the screen still displays what the camera sees, but it never grabs an image.
There is no way to stop that behavior except by using the task killer.
Took it to the Sprint store and they wanted to do a reset on my EVO, so I declined, I could do it myself.
This behavior happened before, but after a few tries, the camera would take pictures. Now it will never take pictures.
Video is perfect.
I don't have many apps installed.
Gallery works fine.
Strange.
Today is Halloween and I wanted to take and email some pics.
any ideas?
Thank you.

It's haunted..lol

[Q] What's up with the pictures tile?

I've changed it about ten times but to me it always seems blurry. The stock photos looks pretty awful as well. Is that the way it's suppose to look?
Varies
It depends. It seems to have more to do with the image size than anything. I have both a Mac and a Windows box, and when I was trying syncing mine with the Mac for a while I checked the option to resize photos for the phone and all my hub tiles were really bad after that, when I sync from Windows and Zune with (presumably) larger pictures, I get the problem significantly less, though still the occasional pic it doesn't seem to like.
I'm talking about the main pictures double tile that you pin to the start screen. Not sure if your referring to the same thing.The individual pictures looks brilliant.
The panorama background in the picture hub looks awful as well but i don't really care too much about that one. My main issue is the picture tile on the start screen.
will wp7 ever be able to take screen shot
Have you tried choosing your own picture for the background?
In Pictures, touch and hold the panorama title. A menu should pop up allowing you to choose a new picture or have it choose one for you.
The panorama takes an image of at least 1426x800. Those seem to be the dimensions suggested to developers.

If you don't like the double size Picture Tile, you can make a picture a favorite and then create a shortcut to it. This will be a single tile, and it takes you to the pictures menu where you can still scroll through all your pictures. That's how I have mine set up.
Thanks for the suggestions Tempest790. I tried the pin to start favorite option but its still blurry. Its nothing like the Zune tile which is crystal clear and very sharp. I'm beginning to think that's the way its suppose to look. I think my only hope now is to find another owner of a wp7 phone and ask to look at their pictures tile which in itself will be a monumental task considering I live in New York and all I ever see here are iPhones and androids.

GS5 camera app + Hangouts for MMS problem

So something I've noticed is that when using Hangouts for MMS and I try to take and send a portrait shot photo with the stock Samsung camera app.....it appears to work fine on my end...but everyone ends up receiving a photo that has been rotated 90 degrees left. Only seems to do this with the stock camera app - if I switch to using Vignette for the camera app - portrait shots are sent correctly.
Landscape shots work either way regardless....
anyone else experienced this? I'm guessing its a problem with the stock camera app (be it code or a setting or something I'm missing)

Gallery app auto "optimizing" photos when viewing?

Hi,
I have some photos on my phone that were not taken with my S5 and am finding that when I go to view them with the Gallery app that it is adjusting the color (and not in a good way). The app will momentarily show the proper color when opening the pic and closing it but will kind of whiten it when viewing. The pics look normal using quickpic and the google photos app. Just wondering if anyone else has this happening and if there is any way of turning it off before I try clearing the data for the Gallery app etc.
Thanks!

Hello,
It's not actually modifying the photo, it is using a Samsung technology to change the colors being displayed on the screen only. You can change your preference (but it appears not shut it off) by going into your Settings, then Display, then 'Screen mode'. But again, your photos aren't modified.

Thanks for your help. I did realize that it wasn't actually modifying the photos, I just really didn't like how it made the pictures look. You were totally right with your solution, I changed the display mode to Standard and it works properly now. I was using Adapt Display because I wanted the best sunlight legibility/brightness possible and everything had looked great until I noticed this issue. Thanks!

[Q] Issue with camera "lag"

So, I've got a relatively new stock, NC4, rooted device. No Safestrap installed. Rooted using towelroot. Only root apps installed are Wanam xposed and Titanium.
When I take a photo with the stock camera app, if the "processing" progress bar does NOT show after taking the shot, the photo seems to have taken properly and all is as it should be.
However, any time I take a photo and the "processing" progress bar appears immediately afterward, the actual photo that saves seems to be whatever is in the viewfinder at the time the progress bar completes! Eg, I take a photo of object A, the "processing" progress bar appears, I move the camera to a different view with object B in it, then once the progress bar completes, I look in the gallery and the last photo is of object B!
Anybody seen this before or know what's going on here?
Thanks.
I had this lag issue as well. After some searching, users suggested disabling "Smart Stabilization" from camera settings. It was a night and day difference afterward, and the pictures look fine to me.

Camera Panorama and Photo Sphere feature quit working...

Hello! I am running Android 7.1.2 and Camera 4.3.016. About three weeks ago, I went to take a panorama image. The feature didn't work. Didn't think too much about it at the time, figured a reboot would solve it. Today, I tried again. Same thing. And photo sphere doesn't work either. If I go to either of those modes, say panorama, I get the rectangle with white does, empty circle in the middle. If I press the shutter button, the blue dot shows, but when it is centered in the circle, the circle kind of shows a half of a white inner circle rapidly flashing around the blue dot. Same for photo sphere. And nothing happens. Either phone orientation, horizontal or vertical.
I believe since this issue began, there have been OS version updates as well as camera version updates. I am a part of the beta program, so not sure if something got messed up, but figured the version updates would help. I also tried uninstalling camera app updates, and even reinstalled the camera (updated?) from Google Play. And, bootloader is unlocked but I am not rooted.
Any suggestions as to what might be the culprit here?
Thanks!
Chris
