[Q] Camera or gallery app acting really wierd. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know what is going on with my gallery but it's really weird. A little back story. I was originally rooted and running 4.2.2 stock but I then I saw that 4.3 was out so I used the nexus root toolkit to go back to stock, reset, apply 4.3 update, and then re-root. I also used the picture backup utility in the toolkit to backup my photos, but it didn't work and none of them were restored. After I was on 4.3, I installed the CM camera app, focal. However, when I took pictures with the app and went into my gallery and scrolled to the picture I just took it would show the picture briefly and then do a pixelated transition into one of my old pictures and the new pic was nowhere to be seen. I uninstalled the app and haven't had a problem since. Up until today. I tried to download a picture off of Google images and when I go into my gallery to see it, it isn't there. Instead, there is a picture from my gallery pre factory reset and flash of 4.3. It's almost like the pictures I'm downloading are being replaced by the ones I tried to backup and restore. When I finally got a Google image to download and save to my gallery, I'll scroll over to it and it will do the weird pixel transition into an old picture I had before I wiped. Anyone know what's happening? Or even what I'm trying to say? Thanks for any help.

After wiping the cache, I tried to go to gallery and got a message saying "no external storage." Rebooted and everything is working awesome. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

A lot of us get that error after clearing cache. A simple reboot takes care of that

D2 camera/gallery problems

Ok so my g/f snapped like 6 pictures at an event she attended yesterday on her droid 2. She came home complaining the pictures weren't appearing in the gallery. I figured it was user error since she's new to the droid thing. I checked out the gallery and sure enough there was 6 gray squares in the place of the pictures. I rebooted and they were gone. Is this something that i should get a replacement over or what. I snapped a pic after the reboot and it was fine but i don't want her to have to wonder if the picture came out. There's also been a problem after she takes a pic it not appearing in the gallery right away. Just seems buggy any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I had a similar problem, but I think it's distinct.
I discovered that deleting the photos through the file app (without a special file manager installed) doesn't instantly delete the thumbnails in the photo gallery, so it will act as if the photos are still there, and if you take new photos before it regenerates its thumbnail cache (or whatever it actually does), the new photos will error for a while too, until it straightens out once and for all which photos really exist and which don't.
Curiously, I too came across the error taking pictures of a chick's ass. Maybe there's a link here.
There is a problem where the gallery doesn't refresh. I heard that it will refresh within a few hours on its own or you have to reboot in order to see new pics in the gallery.
SDrescan from the market is a workaround. It rescans the SD card which refreshes the gallery.

Gallery view is messed up

So I installed Cyanogen's 6.1 RC1 ROM the other day and now my Gallery is all messed up. When viewing the gallery it shows the pictures, but I see multiple "Camera" pictures showing up in the "Download" folder?
Now here's the thing though, when i view these pictures in the download folder at first the look like a certain picture - but when you actually select the picture to view it turns out to be a totally different picture?! WTF!?
Anyone else having this issue? I need to resolve it ASAP... I tried going back to the stock ROM but i'm still having the same issue with the Gallery. HELP!
Report the issue so it can be logged in the cyanogen thread.
[G2/HTC Vision]
Hhmmm I installed Paul's ROM today and it looks like it resolved the issue... I even reverted back to the stock ROM and the Gallery was all good!
I'm just glad to have my Gallery up and working again, but thanks for the suggestion bro!
Nevermind my Gallery is stilled messed up, what the hell is goin on here!?

I installed force fast scroll on my galaxy s4 sph-l720 triforce rom (rooted) and now my app gallery does not load. I have installed quick pic for now. But when I get a pic from a friend in a text I can not click onto it to view it larger. Can an help me get my gallery working agian or make it possible for quick pic to open pictures in messaging? I have cleared data and cache in settings for gallery, rebooted phone, took battery out and then back in, uninstalled force fast scroll, and nothing has helped yet. Besides re-installing my rom can i uninstall gallery and re-install it somehow?
Thank you, Randy

Gallery does not show any Elements

Since a few Days all Pics and Vids dissapeared from Samsung Gallery. The Files do still exist, i am able to open them.in other Gallery apps. When I take a photo using camera The Preview image is displayed for a short while right beside the shutter button but gets then replaced by the orange gallery icon. when i open an image using gallery an click on detail it takes about 10 sec until something is displayed. i tried to delete, cache, data and also did a dalvik wipe and a dirty reflash. Someone out there with suggestions to fix this?
cheers

Camera/gallery crashing - no error message

Hi all,
Sometimes, when I try to take photos with the built-in camera app, the app closes and doesn't save the picture (see the link). However, I don't know if the problem is with the camera app or gallery. Once, when this problem happened, I tried to take a picture inside WhatsApp and it worked just fine.

I bought my S10+ during Black Friday and the only other thing that caught my attention is that sometimes it requires my pin instead of my fingerprint. In my S6 it only happened when the phone restarted, but I don't know about the S10. If it is the same case then the phone is restarting randomly and that is worrisome.
Thanks in advance,
Luiz
Sounds like it might be defective and a warranty claim is needed. However, first try flashing the currenr firmware with Odin and see if that fixes it.

Are you using a theme?
I am using synergy, sometimes when a app updates it will crash, i have to remove the theme overlays and reinstall and rebuild the theme.
Also when i used ADB to remove gallery because i use Google Photos. I couldn't use the camera either so i had to reinstall Gallery. You could try uninstalling updates from the app settings and let it update again, see if the issue persists.

I may try that, as the other option of flashing the firmware is a little bit more tricky. However, I don't use any theme and it is pretty much the same as out of the box.
I confirmed with my wife and she is having the same camera problem, with the cellphone at random times asking for her pin instead of the fingerprint.
i had the same issue before and wiping cache from boot-loader solved the issue for good
