Not sure if anyone has had this problem, but every time I try to open the Camera application and take a picture/record video it just stays black for like one minute and then I get a force close. Basically, I haven't been able to take a picture for over a week now. I've restarted my phone and nothing. My phone is not rooted or anything, just stock.
Also, when I try to view my pictures from my gallery it takes forever to load up just one picture. Anybody know what the problem is?
EDIT: FML, thought this was the Q&A section..sorry guys.
try finding a spare MicroSD card and replace it.
Maybe the gallery can't access the corrupted SD card. Same with camera.

has anybody else had trouble with the camera when taking pics. Does not happen all the time. Just seemingly after every picture that I want so an intermittent and annoying problem.
"Unable to save the captured image. Unable to get data from camera device 36001:510:2"
Sometimes a reset shakes it off but it always comes back later...
Yup. The camera is basically rubbish and so is the stability/performance of the camera software. I usually find the first photo takes a second or so to take...after that I've known it take 15-20 seconds from pressing the button to it taking the photo. Utterly useless, really - too reliant on software that does not have priority over other stuff happening on the device.
In fact, if I know I want to take a photo, I reset the phone first. Sad but true.
Well at least its not just mine.
Is this the sort if thing that can be fixed later on with a software upgrade?

Oh, I've no doubt it could be fixed. I totally doubt it will be fixed though.. .depends how many people actually wanted to use the camera and complain to their provider.
hey i've got the problem with taking a picture in the night modus. it just blocks and doesnt react to anything anymore, does anyone recognize this problem and knows how to solve it?
please let me know

yup i get that too
hope they fix it
Not having any such problems so far, although I havent hammered the camera as such but every time I have used it its been fine. Took a few pics and some vids.
I just remembered: I think I was getting this problem all the time while I had the capture size set to 1 megapixel. Reducing it to 640 x 480 seemed to help. (You won't be missing much with this camera anyway!)
Mines set to 1m. Its not the best camera in the world, but it does its job.
Since setting to 640x480 i have not had the problem.
Hey
I just noticed that when I take a photo with the back camera ( it works perfect with the frontcamera ) of 2 people, the camera sometimes freezes.
Well everything still moves but those circles that appears on a face won't move anymore and I can't take a picture anymore. I have to close the app and reopen it again.
Could be my autofocus* damaged or is it a known problem?
*I ask because of my last thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142437
Thanks

Clear the data for the camera app
Happening to me as well. I was able to get it to start taking pictures again by going into video mode and back to camera mode.
Hm okay thanks .. I hopes there will be a fix soon :/
Ok...something strange is happening when I use snapchat. I take a picture and than the app closes by itself and the camera refuses to work until I reboot...any other camera app will just gove a can nit connect to camera message until I reboot. Ill reboot and any camera app works (stock/instagram) but as soon as I try snapchat again...it auto closes when I take a picture and suddenly the camera wont connect again.
The strangest part is it was working fine earlier...ive been using snapchat since I got the phone with no issues...so not sure whats up...ive uninstalled and reinstalled...so not really sure what else to do...anyone have any suggestions? Anyone else experience this? Do you think maybe its hardware??? I dont think its hardware cause it works fine until I use snapchat...but idk cant figure this one out
Also, I have done notging new to my phone...no nee apps, no new mods, no new updates...nothing so there really is no reason for this behavior. Ill try odin later but im away from my oc at the moment and just wanted to get other peoples input
Edit: snapchat appears to be working again...still strange that that happened...makes me worried as I dont know if it was the hardware or app failing

Fine for me. No issues no lag
I've had the same issue a couple times. It's really weird. It only happens on the rear camera (the 13MP good camera) and only in certain scenarios. I tried to take a picture of my hammock, it locked up and I had to shut down. I took a picture of the ground, no problems. Hammock again, locked up. Flash on/off, doesn't matter. Weirdest thing.
I think it might be the camera software switching between white balances automatically (no proof to back this up, but since it matters where I point the camera, it has to have something to do with what the camera is seeing and doing in response to the scenery) and SnapChat might not play well with one of the white balances.
I just now took a picture of my driveway from inside my house, no problem. Took a picture of the hammock in the yard, freeze up. There's a lot of green in the hammock shot, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Have you guys factory reset. First thing I did when I turned it on
My girlfriend's s4 is doing the same thing she only gets it on the front camera but can make it do it at will she says it when the camera first turns on and is focusing and adjusting the color of you take a pic before it settles down it does what the op said.

i think your hammock is cursed o.o and i have no issues. it works fine on both front and back cameras in snapchat/any other camera app.
sorry to bump an old post but did anyone ever find a solution to this problem, its been happening to me on my gs4 from verizon. It will work then all of a sudden it does the same thing with the camera and just exits the app?
Same deal on my Galaxy s4 that is barely a month old. Everything was working perfectly fine until a couple of days ago when I try to send snaps using the rear camera.
Goes something like this:
- Take photo with rear camera, app crashes
- Screen freezes at the Snapchat 'loading' screen OR nonfunctional camera within the app (whereas everything else works such as receiving incoming snaps)
- Rebooting works from time to time, but the problem is reoccurring
- Tried clearing cache/reinstalling the app, no luck
It's starting to really get on my nerves.
I had the same problem. Snapchat force closes and camera starts to fail. I contacted the snapchat team and reported the problem. I got a reply saying that they are working on it. Maybe you guys should send them an email too and explain the problem you guys are having.
I have the exact same issue. I've not been able to find a work-around.
snapchat freezes on videos that are longer then like 2-3 seconds it seems... then i have to restart again to get the camera back...
Nothing is wrong with your phones. Snapchat is an extremely ****tily programmed app. What do you expect from a terrible iOS port?
I might suggest Wink! as an alternative, but it doesn't support video, but meh.
Yeah I have the same problem. It's fricken ridiculous. When will they fix this?

I think it may have to do with using the CM/non TW camera.. Whenever I used it I experienced this very problem. Since I've gone back to TW, I have not..
Hi everyone. I am from India. After the recent BPH7 update i am having lots of issues with the new gallery.
It just freezes at least 4 to 5 times a day. I have to restart my phone to solve it. Infact today its freezed wveytime i tried to open it.
I had clicked some lovely pics 3 days ago. However when i tried to see them on my gallery, I just couldnt see the clarity after zooming in. They all are blurred. Earlier they werent.
Any solutions? Hard reset seems the only solution .
Any response? The gallery invariably freezes everytime i open it.
I had that issue but a quick reboot fixed it for me.
I'm on complete stock with the EU Exynos version if that's relevant.
Suggestion: try taking your memory card out and see if you can see any photos stored on your internal storage; this would help you eliminate the possibility of it being a slow/faulty memory card however unlikely that is.
However, if you have the same issue, I'd recommend a hard reset as that usually does the trick.
Try connecting it to Samsung Smart Switch or whatever their PC companion program is called now, back everything up of course.
Good luck buddy!
My phone lags terribly especially with the camera. Sometimes the double tap camera shortcut doesn't work at all. Most of the time it takes a few seconds to load my camera even with all apps closed except the camera app. It likes to show I took a picture but then it's not saved. Like it will show it on the preview bubble on camera app and then won't be in the gallery. So I've missed out on a lot of pics I thought I took. It also likes to lag in taking pictures in general. I've tried both intern and external storage. My internal storage is 12gb/24.9 so that shouldn't be an issue. I factory reset my phone a week ago and it was fine off and on for a few days. Now it's back to being a lagging POS. Anyone else have this issue? I've never had this issue with my S4 or Note 4.
Did you just recently buy the phone? What you're describing sounds like it has the engineering firmware flashed.
Nope I bought it new the first week it came out and I haven't flashed any firmware. I usually do but the effort for the S7 Edge wasn't worth it.
