Greetings All,
Is it just me or is anyone else having camera trouble. I have the stock ROM, haven't rooted yet, and I notice the phone will hang after I snap a pic or when I attempt to view the pic in the Gallery. I mean it will really hang.
I usually have to shut the phone down and restart it. Or I back out of the camera program all together and try to relaunch it.
Am I the only one?
never hear of that problem until just now, after reading your message
we've seen all kind of other color off related issues with the camera, but not causing the phone to hang
did you try another camera software to see if it does the same?
try Camera 360 for example

Also have not heard of this issue. What does camera 360 do?

My first guess is that you have the Aqua filter enabled. To clear:
1. In the camera app touch the top icon
2. Scroll through the options to "Color effect" and touch "None"
Gosh u saved my day i didn t saw that camera appe has now effects. Thx froyo!

So a while back I asked who else had a problem where when they take a pic in portrait mode it comes out rotated (it looks fine in mediascape but when you look at it on a cpu or with a file manger its actually rotated) and I tried everything to fix it (repairing with update service and factory reset) but it didn't help. So I just downloaded this camera app because you can add effect to pics and when I looked at the pics I took with it their right side up. So I came to the conclusion that its the native camera app that has this problem and I just hope there's a way to fix it because its annoying :-\
So after trying out different camera apps I confirmed it is the native camera app, I hope this is fixed in the 2.1 update or a dev can do it when the boot is cracked =/ (I commented to also bump it and to see who else has this problem)

What?
Most real cameras are the same way. The orientation data from a camera can usually not be read by Windows Explorer/Photo Viewer/Website uploaders.
The other camera apps you claim work are taking the pics at a different resolution, instead of using the orientation sensor. (e.g., 600x800 instead of 800x600). It's pedantic, but, it's not a "bug" or a "fault".
I just re-read my original post and it makes perfect sense, but I guess I'll explain again. When I take a picture in portrait mode the picture looks fine in mediascape but if I look at it with a file manger or upload it to a CPU, Facebook etc its actually rotated to the left. And I don't have this problem with any other camera app. So how is my pictures being rotated to the left not a bug O_O

Use a regular camera. This happens all the time, as the camera always shoots in landscape orientation, and just adds some orientation data to the file.
Camera apps shoot in a different resolution than the native camera app. It's not a bug, just the X10 behaving like a regular camera would.
Well i for the record also irritate on this, even if it is a normal action. If i see something fun and want to share that on FB, and the pic gets rotated sideways, it spoils the fun :-\

But it's a 1 second click on FB to rotate the pic...
I hope mobile was in landscape mode and.not portrait.

Not in the FB app or mobile FB.

The X10 can view the full FB site just fine... still just a single click.
My X10 used to mess up the rotation of the pictures all the time. Even pictures taken in the X10 would show up rotated the wrong way in mediascape too. When I took a picture, and it did happen to be the right way up, once uploaded to facebook using the facebook app, it would be rotated the wrong way, regardless of whether it was taken landscape or portrait. This is definately a bug, as it never happens on my new phone, regardless of orientation of pic when it was taken... When I upload pics from my HTC, they are the correct way up, every single time..
It annoys me when people say there is no bug or it's the problem of the user... I have friends and my gf who unfortunately have to use the X10 still, and these things shouldnt happen! You shouldnt have to browse to the main site to rotate the photo, the facebook app or the phone should upload it properly..
The Desire uploads using "Facebook for HTC sense", maybe sony need a "Facebook for SE UI" or something to upload pictures properly.
Whether it's a bug with the X10, Android 1.6, or whatever, it shouldnt happen.
I too hope they fix this with the update, if and when it ever comes.
well, hopefully with everyone facing this same problem, SE will fix their damn app in the 2.1.x update.
it's stupid to upload from mediascape.. then go to the full site to re-orientate it.
Took many pics and on the gallery it always show upright but when I email my friends or upload it turns out not the same said I seen in the gallery and I need to rotate most of them. Anyway to fix? On my n one it always does this for Me.

I'm wondering the same thing. Any picture that's taken in portrait mode has the wrong orientation when sharing via mms or Facebook. Any workarounds?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
its not just the NS, lurk around the SGS forums they might have a fix that will work, but other than that, it appears that the camera is only intended for use in Landscape
Whenever i take a few photos with the camera they show up in the gallery for a minute or two then when you go back into gallery they dont show up but astro can see them fine, ive tried clearing data and the cache for gallery. Is there any fix to this?

Get quickpic. Been using it ever since. I hate gallery lol. Quick pic is 10 times quicker

I've had this happen on occasion, usually they show up again if I manually rescan media using Spare Parts.
Thanks guys I'll try both of those things. Another little annoying problem I've been having is with my ringtone, I go into the htc music app and find a good song and trim it etc etc, ringtone works fine for a while, then whenever someone calls me later on, it goes back to the default quietly brilliant app!, I even made my own custom sound set etc. I'm not sure what to do with this one and it's really annoying.

Not trying to sound like a smartass but you don't have it plugged in and set to mass storage mode when this happens, correct? Had a friend almost throw her phone out the window because it did what you're describing and well... see the previous sentence.
I did a factory reset and that solved my issue. No more disappearing photos. It gets pretty annoying though!

Highly recommend QuickPic, as the previous user suggested. It's totally reliable and the dev is great with support.
Stock gallery is prone to issues... I haven't had it installed for months.

One more thing to add. The only thing I don't like about quickpic is that it doesn't show my picasa albums like gallery does. I seriously doubt most people use picasa as much as I do though

if you want to use gallery, run first rescanSD. then you pics will become available again... it will not last for long. as soon as you exit and go in again, it will not be visible again...
rescanSD for some reason has never worked for me, i've been frustratingly going through astro shortcuts to my photos until recently.
Camera broken...boots up but has no touch screen response then stops responding.... I re installed rom per instructions and yes I rebooted Phil after wipe.... Please help I found nothing in Q&A

I'm confused. So your camera lens broke? Or did the screen break on the phone since you say it doesn't respond to touch?
After installing the Stock(ish) rom the camera software fails.... not a physical problem with the screen or lense. When you try to open the android camera app it freezes and becomes unresponsive to touch ie: mode, snap, menu, settings, etc.
After you open the camera it displays the rear camera view but nothing functions and after about 5 seconds it force closes with a message saying the camera app is not responding would you like to wait or close?

Okay. Go into settings , apps, and clear cache for the camera app and force stop it. Reboot your phone and see if that works.
Worked like a charm! Thank you Sir....I did all of that before less the restart... you my friend are awesome!
