I'm having issues capturing photos. The phone seems as if it captures the picture perfectly and if I check the gallery immediately after the photo is there. But after a certain amount of time the photo appears to be corrupt. After restarting the phone the corrupt photos aren't even there. If anyone has any insight into this I would appreciate it, thanks.

By any chance your photos are saved to external sdcard? If they are remove card from phone and save photos and important data to PC. Then full format sdcard in windows and labeled. Then copy pictures and data back to card put back to phone and enyoj. I had same problem and i lost all. Card went bad.

Thanks, I'm saving my photos to the phone now as opposed to the SD card and all is well. I'll format the SD card later and report back!

I'm attempting to format the SD Card through the phone and it won't format it. The pine acts as if it's doing it but nothing happens. I've tried restarting the phone, pulling the battery and unmounting then reinstalling but nothing worksm

Well the same day i got my nexus, after taking few pictures, my camera basicly died, started to give errors or restarts the phone, then it was unable to get on at all.
I did factory reset number of times, nothing happened. I thought it's something hardware and forgot about my camera for a while, just to find today that it works again. I took lots of pictures without any problems, shot some video too.
Later in the day when i decided to try it again, it was giving the same error again as day 1 ("The camera application is not responding" and you can force kill it, then if go to the camera again, it says that it couldnt connect to the camera).
So seems like it's something software related since its randomly working, but if factory reset isn't helping, then what it might be that can be fixed softwarely?
I'm rooted now. Still the stock rom.
p.s.
the phone also restarts when i mount the SD card and start copying lots of files and randomly restarts at other occasions too, without any obvious reasons, even when just sitting.
Other than that the phone is great
hopefully its all software that can be fixed though!
Sounds to me like there's something buggy on ya SD card. Id reformat the SD card if ya haven't already and run it empty for a bit to see if the problem persists... I think the most forgotten fix for things if they haven't figured it out is SD card, a lot of issues can come from the SD card, not saying ievery issue is the SD card, but ya be surprised how a card can wack phone out.
Sounds to me like its when your phones accessing the SD card...
yeah makes sense but
i've formatted it many times, and the camera doesnt work even without it (doesnt even start)
btw it's not the original card, but my old one from my HTC HD
the camera is supposed to work and without a SD card inserted right?

I meant keep card in it, just empty without files, formatted and see what happens
i've tried that, doesnt help
Hi,
try formatting SD card with Panasonic SD Formatting Tool,it writes back the partition table and could help. For me worked, I had an issue with gallery, surely related to SD card, and now works well.
Bye
what settings to use to format it?
what fat, cluster size?
i've formated it bunch of times with the windows vista tool, fat32 and the default cluster size (i think) but it didnt help.
And if i recall correctly it was crashing the camera and with SD card out of the phone
yeah just tried again
even with the card out, none of the camera using applications starts, including the camera, barcode scanner and 3d compass
the later 2 dont even take pictures, so they dont need the sd card at all and still they dont work
what else it might be? im getting some other applications crashes from time to time, seems that my phone isnt very stable. And it's stock...huh
I suggest sending it back for repair/replacement. Could very possibly be the result of bad blocks in ram.
You mentioned it isn't the original SD card the phone came with. Why don't you try the original card then, and see if it is the actual card, or the phone that is the problem.

i would have done that long time ago if i had it, this is the only card i have handy at the moment
but it makes the same problem with the card pulled out, so it isn't the card for sure
do u tihnk that there is any chance reflashing the rom would fix it?
any records of factory roms being buggy for just particular devices?
Okay...first off you said it's an older card, you could have bad sectors on your card, some of the older cards only have a read/write cycle of a couple thousand before fail. Second you can't run the camera app without the sd card. Third formatting the card so many times helps you count down those read/write cycles on your card. I'd be pretty confident in saying that your problems would go away after getting a new card. Hope this helped

would be great if its just that
But what do u get you when you try to start the camera app with SD card out
Does it hangs and crashes and you need to force kill it or?
yup....just tried it, i popped my card out rebooted and started camera app, and i got a force close with no option to wait
that's great man! It means that it could actually be from the stupid card!
thank you so much!

m? hows that supposed to help?
Well i tried with 2 different cards, it still gives the very same problem
it isnt the card
im with froyo now, and that doesnt fix it either
do you think if the cyanogen rom may change something about this?
I've noticed this happening lately and it is very annoying. It happens with random images, not just those taken with the camera. An image will be fine at first, but after a period of time it becomes corrupt. The attached example was taken with another camera and I had copied it to the phone.
Whenever I disconnect USB, I always eject first then unmount. Until I can find out what is doing this, I can't trust any photos I leave on the phone to remain intact.
My MicroSD card is an Adata 16gb class 6 card.
Any thoughts?
Maybe you should try to format your sdcard.

My gallery keeps making doubles and triples of my pictures and it's extremely frustrating. The fix is moving them to the internal and back to the external but it will just do it again in a week or two. So basically, I don't wanna just keep putting a band aid on it. I wanna know why and how to fix it. Anyone else having this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Mine does too. Ive seen as many as 6 copies of the same pics on Bionix
Download SGS Tools and run the clean_thumbs script and reboot, it should fix no problem

Had this happen once, if you connect to your computer and use the SD as Storage Device and then turn off USB Storage it should rescan and correct itself.
Also note, if this does happen. Don't delete any pictures. Because when it does correct, you'll be missing more than what you deleted. I lost a bunch of pictures because I was deleting the duplicates..
Hello everyone,
The camera is not saving pictures on SD card, as soon as I restart the phone all the pics taken are gone from the SD card, also in the gallery it doesn't display any screenshot of the pictures only a green screen, this doesn't happen when I use internal storage for camera, everything else works fine on the SD, I transferred music and took a nandroid backup which is there but for some reason camera is not saving pictures and videos on SD card, also I am not able to find night mode on the camera to take videos in the night without using flash, any help with this?
Thanks.

Just to confirm this then, under camera settings Storage Location is set to Memory Card not Device then using the file manager My Files you go to your SD Card > DCIM > Camera folder and its empty, if so would just suggest first off you try another micro sd card if you can this would help identify a phone or card issue, mine is set to Memory Card its only 8GB as I don't keep much on my phone but it works fine.

But everything else works fine with the SD card, only this camera issue is there, I tried to recover the deleted images/videos by recovery software but it didn't helped, seems like the phone didn't saved them at the first place and I don't know why it is acting like that, could this be write sd issues with the camera? Apps are getting transferred easily without any issue.
Edit: I did a format using PC and now the phone is saving pics/vids to the card, not showing those grey boxes like before, previously I did the format from phone so that might be the issue.
Still no answer on how to enable night mode to record videos without using flash.
+1 on the night mode. It would be sweet but I doubt it'll ever be

Put phone in camera mode, tap settings, turn flash off, go to video mode and flash light will remain off when recording video just the same as when it is turned off in camera mode when taking pictures.
I know how to turn off the flash, what I mean from night mode is that greenish video which a handycam or webcam can record when there is no light.

I was using a genuine SanDisk 64GB Ultra card and had the same issue - tried to format but could not read, was corrupted, a write virus or somehow stuck in read only.
Sent it back for a refund got the Extreme version with U3 and already getting the same issue.

I crave your storage capabilities. I onlg have 16gb device and a 32gb card. As for your issue sammy just doesn't like sdcards. I had issues with my s3, but not with this. I'm scared to up my card size because of this though

Try formatting the card from PC using FAT32 and 128kb write options, this solved my problem.
Tried every method spending a day and gave up - dead end

Try a lower capacity sd card, 16GB or less.
Are you using a third part camera app? Isn't this issue related to the kitkat restriction on writing to external sdcards, for third party apps?
Model: SCH-I545
64gig SD Card
Verizon
All stock/no root
Verizon pretty much forced me recently like many others to update to Lollipop. Once updated, I immediately backed up and did a factory reset on the device. Once it was back up and running, all seemed to be well with the world. It did seem to be a little hotter than normal but it seems overheating is a typical problem these days.
I noticed the issue the following day when I went to load videos and pictures back on to my SD card. They were uploaded via USB just fine but they showed as corrupted in Gallery.
I started trying to take pictures and maybe 1 out of 5 would actually show up. I thought it might be Gallery so I switched to Photos. Same thing. Tried using other cameras with the same results. I ended up factory resetting a second time and formatting the SD Card again as well but no fix. Then the other night I noticed that two of my apps have that "we're broken" icon on them and that they were installed on the SD Card so the issue seem to be connected with that, yet the SD Card works fine. I can plug it in the computer and use it without any issue but when it comes to the camera storing photos or video on it or apps using it, it refuses to work.
Tried contacting Samsung about it but they are useless when it comes to support it would seem so a friend told me to try posting here and maybe someone would have an idea of what is going on.
Thanks, guys.
Try formatting your sd card. Sometimes that helps.
