[Q] Can someone help me test a bug I experienced tonight?

Tonight I was trying to take a picture and email it and the phone became completely unusable. I'd like to see if this is a problem wit just my phone or if other epics are having it. Here is what I was doing so please follow these steps:
1. Open the camera with the side button.
2. Take a picture
3. Go to the picture viewer from the button on the bottom right in the camera app.
4. Choose the "Share" option when viewing the picture and select Gmail
5. I added 1 recipient, a subject, and then when I went to the body of the email to type the phone became completely unusable.
Swype couldn't type and when I tried to hit back or home it just sat there for over a min. Finally, I powered the phone off and rebooted. When I went back in to gmail it became slow again and I just left it for a while. Now it seems to be ok, but I have no idea what happened. The one thing I did notice was that when I chose Share and got into gmail the sync icon came on the taskbar.
Thanks in advance for helping out with this.

unable to duplicate, sir

I had the same issue. It seems like launching the camera app from the side button temp locks up touchwiz. I can't get back to home screen.

This happened to me also when I tried to send a picture I just took via Handcent SMS.

I just had this issue last night. I took about 5 picture I emailed 2 of them. I don't rememberif it froze up right after I sent the email or not but I noticed it when I tried to take another picture. I couldn't take it, I noticed a lock icon on the top of the screen. I couldn't exit the camera app. I shut down the phone using the powe button. The phone ran really slow for awhile, after the boot. Then started running normal. Possible bug I think.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I had the same problem when i went out side and took a picture using the camera button and then tried to send it via gmail to another email address I have. When I clicked send via gmail, my whole phone froze up and I have not yet received the email to my other account with the picture attached.

no duplication but
I was not able to duplicate the issue following your steps...but I did have the phone lock up on me once while in camera mode. The image moved as I moved the phone around, but I could not interact with the phone in any other way. I had to power the device down completely. Don't remember if I was able to use the power button or if i had to remove the battery.

[Q] Whatsapp crashing when music player is on

Hi everyone,
Just wish to share an issue and see if anyone here faces this as well.
My Note III will often freeze and crash under this following scenario:
- Music player (or other music apps eg MeRadio) on in background -> Whatsapp messages come in
The result will be like:
1.) Screen freeze (screen not responsive, not even home screen button) + music stop momentarily and then continue playing
2.) After a few seconds of freeze, the pop-up saying "Unfortunately, WhatsApp has stopped." appears.
3.) Back to normal, and whatsapp will be restarted.
4.) Another whatsapp message comes in, it repeats.
I noticed that it doesn't happen every time - when I got frustrated with it I will often restart phone, and it doesn't bother me for a while.
Is it a RAM issue? I use the "Clean Master" app to keep my RAM low most of the time.
All suggestions are welcomed. Thank you!
Regards,
Desmond

[Q] How can I make sure the S4 camera (Lolipo) starts the camera, not the gallery?

Hi,
I find the behaviour of the S4 stock camera app very annoying since Lolipop came out.
Normally, when you click on the camera icon, you expect that the camera actually opens, right? Well, if you have once started the camera, and then entered the review-mode by clicking on a picture you have just taken, and then press the menu button to return to the home screen, the next time you press the camera button, you will be taken back to exactly that preview, not to the camera view.
This may seem logicl from an app-point of view (app already running), but not from what a user expects: when I push the camera button on the home screen, I want to be taken to the camera instantly, no matter which mode the app was previously.
The next illogical thing is: When you are in picture view mode of the camera app, and press the "back" button on the S4 device hoping to be taken back to camera mode, the app closes, instead of taking you to the camera. The only thing that gets you back is pressing the little camera-symol in the upper right corner of the app.
To sum it up: this is totally annoying, why does Samsung such a bad job there? Anything to change the behaviour?

Won't swiping work?
CM camera and Google camera offer the ability to swipe into gallery and back to the camera.
I guess the thing with you pressing the camera app and it takes you to it's previous state (gallery) is because the camera app and the gallery are tied together.
That picture preview gallery is basically another feature of the camera. Most camera apps come with their own. Even if you don't have any gallery app at all, you can still preview a picture.

Game screen recording not working?

Hi all, as the title says, my game screen recording doesn't seem to work. I can press record and everything seems like its working, and then when i press stop, the red toast notification pops up to view my videos on game launcher, but when I go there, there's no videos. Also theres no videos in my gallery anywhere. Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

I have exactly the same problem, haven't found any fixes yet.
Any ideas anyone? I have given all permissions to game launcher and have tried reinstalling it.

I am using galaxy j6
When i was tap on record button its show recording stop after 1 second and video not saved how to fix it

any way to stop the front camera from mirroring ???

I sometimes use the front camera for video but I have noticed that everything is reversed, both pictures and video. For example, take a picture of a book with the front camera and the test will be back to front. Why is this and if there a way to fix this?

Open your Camera app.
Go to Settings (topmost left gear-like icon).
Then under the Pictures section, go to Save options.
Find the ‘Picture as previewed’ option and use the toggle button to turn it off.

Thanks!!!
