[Q] Galaxy tab Camera help

I just got my tab and when ever i try to use the camera i cant see what i'm shooting.... it only displays the last picture i shot but when press the shutter button it shots fine and the display change to the thing i shot...
Video mode is the same.
I tried clear data for the Camera app and force close it but its the same...
can any one help?
btw i searched the forums but i didn't find anything sorry if there is a thread about this already

i also hv this problem also... please help us..
~i thought it is bcoz of the spare part apps. then i try to set it default. but it still same..

BUMP. Help us please

I have the same problem.
As a workaround, if you slide the camera/video slider, the Tab switches back to the camera setting, and the viewfinder is displayed.

I have had some other problems with my tab, like crashing apps all the time, I made a hardreset and now everything is fine. You may test it and report here.

i had the same problem with the camera app. sliding the camera/video slider doesn't help.
so i reboot the tab & its working fine now.
regards,
mike

Yup, i know, after reboot, the problem gone.So, if like that, everytime i face the problem, i hv to reboot. How can like that..

I am facing this issue too, any fix?

Damn now I'm in the boat, but I think I know why this happens, my camera doesnt show black screen or something, it shows the last viewed youtube video and if I switch to video cam, two youtube vids are shown.
So may its caused by the new youtube app?

So, all hv this problem by using the new youtube app?
How to revert back to previous version of youtube? Where can get the installer?

I also have the problem its not cuz of youtube app, it happens with videos that you watch any video from any app.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

i have the exact same problem..viewfinder gets stuck on the last frame of the last viewed video, and only a restart can fix it. Any news on a proper solution for this? I hate restarting the phone...

cam problem
Hello devs plz helps all with tis fix of viewfinder we are waiting for it, every time we use video call, u tube, play game, this freezes the view finder, looking forward to fix from you ppl, no hopes from samsung as usual
thankx in advance

I had the problem on the camera of SGT as well 3 months back. However, I sent in my SGT for an upgrade of firmware due to other reasons (not because of the camera issue). And the problem has gone forever.
When I encountered this problem back then, I tried rebooting, clearing of memory (RAM), it goes off for a while, but it came right back, especially when you view YouTube. It is quite annoying.
So, my advice to you guys is to send it to Samsung for a firmware upgrade, it just takes less than an hour. By the way, my SGT is stock ROM.

Phone does not detect front camera.

Hey hiii xda group, all of a sudden my Gionee Elife E7's camera app crashes and gps turns on when switching to front camera.

already done with factory reset, my phone has never been rooted.

Try using third party camera apps like focal and open front cam...

I have the same problem, same gionee, I, tried focal app and camera doesn't open.
I erased all app data and cache, made factory reset and nothing. In hardware information app front Camera don't appear. I beg u, Hlp plz

1 Try a few camera apps from play store (if u have kk install google camera app)
2 If every app turns the same problembit could be a hardware issue
3 To be sure of that flash a stock rom and test the camera app.
If by now you re not able to use the front camera you should consider send the phone to repair

thank u

Hi, thanks for the help but none of your steps solved my problem. I show to u a comparison between 2 gionee e life 7

Has anyone solved this issue? I have exactly the same problem. It seems to have happened after I installed the official update. I have tried several roms, cleared cache etc..

i think its must be a hardware issue

i tried and no solution so far. It must be an hardware issue..

Camera Problem: autofocus reacts only after longer rest

Got a new Note 4 SM-N910C after I replaced my old, as it had display issues (same model). Old and new phone are running 5.0.1., both are rooted. I restored all apps and data from the old phone on the new via Titanium-Backup.
When I open the carema app, or ANY other camera app on the new phone, it won't focus for approximateli 10-15 seconds - afterwards autofocus works snappy and accurately. When I close the camera app and reopen it, sometimes the autofocus reacts immediately, sometimes I have to wait again. After a longer period in which i did not use the camera, the initial lag always occurs.
Same issue when I use the test mode (#0# - Mega cam). In compairison the old model always works perfectly!
Resetting the camera app does not fix the issue. "Shaking" the phone does not fix the issue.
Does anyone know that issue, does anyone hab a suggestion how to solve the problem. I don't know whether this is a hardware (stuck af-motor??) or a software problem.
I thank you for every answer and suggestion in advance.

Are you on the stock ROM now?

Yes, everythin is stock.. just rooted via CF autoroot..

Did you have this problem before you rooted the device?

It's a hardware problem, the camera lens abit loose. Some tried shaking it but only a temporary fix. Bring it to Samsung Service Centre for repair (if still have warranty). Mine had that problem and was fixed by Samsung.

Update:
I restored the device's factory settings, i.e. Recovery - Full Wipe, and flashed the Lollipop 5.0.1. stock rom via Odin. I did not not restore the camera app usting Titanium Backup.
The error still exists. Shaking the device causes no improvement at all and there are no strange noises during focusing detectable. I suspect that it is therefore definitely not a hardware failure.
.. Once again the error description:
If I do not use the camera for some minutes and open any camera app (e.g. native app, instagram, PS-express, whatsapp, Google Kamera, camera pro and also in the test mode (# 0 # - Mega Cam)) the picture is totally blurry and the focus seems to stay in the macro focus. When I try to set the focus point by touching the screen, the focus indicator appears but the focus does not change for approximately 10 seconds (again, in all camera modes and camera apps). After this "initial lag" the camera works perfectly fine. When I close my camera and open it after a short time, it focuses immediately. When I close my camera and open it after a longer time, initial lag occurs again.
This is extremely annoying.
I suspect that the system deactivates the camera ("deep sleep") so when opening the camera a full "initialization" (i.e. error checking, etc.??) is done every time. According to the Application Manager however, the camera app is active and uses the system's Ram when the lag occurs!
Can anyone - under 5.0.1. - confirm this behavior?
Again, I am very grateful for any kind of help and suggestions!

How difficult is replacing the camera? Is it simple?

S8 weird camera problem

Hi guys, I have been dealing with s8 camera problem for months now and decided to ask before I smash my phone into the wall.
Problem looks simple, I start recording and it randomly stops. Its followed by quick flash(the one that you see when switching the camera on) and looks like camera is restarting. It happens after 2,5, 10 seconds or sometimes doesn't happen at all. I recorded a video of my baby and after 20s I found out that recording stopped and I didn't get anything. I tried to use a camera in safe mode, seems to be working fine there.
Does it mean that some apps interfere with camera app? Also tried cleaning the cache which didn't help. Is there a way to find what apps are causing the issue? Is factory reset best option in my case? I would add that I can see those weird flashes even when I'm not recording and camera is simply switched on.
I would appreciate any help guys. Thank you.

Do you try some other camera apk ?

Yes, they worked fine and didn't have any issues. I would like to use an original app tho because I find it much quicker and less complicated. Wonder if it's maybe related to Samsung cloud sync. I'm just too scared to factory reset lol

So you are saying that U never tried to solve the problem by doing a factory reset? That should be second thing on your list, after restarting. xD
