[Q] Camera Will Not Work, Camcorder Does

I recently had issues with my phone and have had to root it and try various ROMS. I am currently on CyanogenMod 5. Okay, now to the problem: ever since my phone crashed and I've tried these mods, my camera's shutter won't work. The camera focuses as if it will take the picture, but then it freezes on the picture and doesn't load, nor does the picture appear in the gallery later. This is the same for the original camera app, the Camera Magic app and the Retro Camera apps I downloaded, and Google Goggles. However, the camcorder still works and records video just fine. How can I fix this so my camera works again?
Thank you,
Abi

No one has any sort of solution to this?

same here with CM 6 .... picture taken but it does not save to gallery, after some time force to close or wait. sometimes reboot works sometimes same issue.

I'm going to bump this. I have the exact same problem. ANY SOLUTIONS PLEASE?
Does my radio file need updated? HELP?

there is no fix, it is google not releasing the camera module, nor helping out the issue.

[Q] Sideways MMS

I know this has been asked on this forum many times, but has anyone ever figured out how to get pictures taken in portrait orientation to send properly in an mms message without cropping the picture? This seems to be common across the entire Android lineup, but I can't for the life of me figure out why this is so damn difficult. I've tried the stock messaging app as well as handcent and no luck. However, if I open up the picture in PicSay Pro, and export it to a text messaging app the orientation is fine. Can anyone shed some light on this or is it a lost cause?

I think it has to do with the camera software. I was having the same problem, when I sent a pic taken in portrait it would send sideways. So I flashed Liberty v1.0 Tom, and that has a camera software that rotates, and allows for sending or taking photos in portrait. If you don't need a new Rom, I'm sure there are camera apps in the market for your camera.

• Rom, darn auto correct.

I'm using Apex right now, and it has the same issue. I think the problem is just with the Android camera app, but I was hoping someone had come up with a fix without having to use a third party or editing solution.

Got ya.

[Q] Front Facing Camera Question

I'm tying to figure out how to use the front camera for taking pictures. I can do the video stuff no problem, just not take pictures. Seems silly the native camera app would not offer this.
From what I read, there should be an option in qik to do this, but from the one I downloaded from the market, I'm not seeing this option. I'm running Frankenstein and have checked through all the various mod paqs and there is no qik app in there that may have this feature enabled. What am I missing?

Inside the camera app... Click the Top left icon on the screen and select Self-Shot.
Is that what you are looking for?

Perfect thanks so much! Guess the internet docs on this not working through the camera app are wrong.

[Q] Tiny Chat app??

Hi,
The other day, the question was posed to me on twitter if you can use Tinychat on the MT4G. So I tried it. You can use it but not with your phone cam. It doesn't recognize your phones front camera (or back) as a web cam, but you can use your Mic and type and see and hear everyone else. I was wondering if anyone else would like a tinychat app where you can use your front camera, and if there's any App devs reading this maybe you can look into making one (if it's at all possible). I for one would love a fully functioning tinychat app. What does anyone else think?

I would love a tinychat app with front cam working. Hope some developers can do it... SOON. lol

I have searched the web as thoroughly as humanly possible and have found nothing so I believe that an app that could be used to turn the front cam into a usable web cam would be phenomenal especially a tinychat specific app

Stock Camera app?

Does anybody have the stock camera app apk? I really don't want to have to reflash my phone as it is set up how I like it and am really liking the stock+root - debloated w/ launcher setup as of now. The problem is that the stock camera isn't working, once it goes on, it becomes unresponsive and won't take pictures.
I have been using the Google camera, but I am missing features of the stock one and always prefer to use the camera app that was created around the hardware.
I was wondering if anybody had a link to the stock camera app so I could reflash it and replaced the old, broken one. I have tried to clear data and it still gives me the same issues.
Thanks!
