Whenever I want to take a picture using the stock camera it works when I take the picture, but when I try to tap the Square box in the left hand corner to check out the photo everything stops for a second, and the picture deletes itself and goes to the last picture I took before the other one, then sometimes if you go back to use the camera it says error cannot connect to camera this randomly happen out of nowhere my camera was fine before

Is there an app that allows you to take a picture with a screen tap or icon rather than the trackpad as mine is totally dead. My own fault. Must use flash and take pics at 5mp. Thanks.
I m not sure what you mean but can't you long press on the screen to take picture?
hope that helps...cheers...

I had no idea that worked. Big thanks! Takes a while but problem solved.
That works, but you can't take video like that. Is it possible to port the camera from the EVO 4G or some other device, since that has the trigger on the screen? My trackpad is dead too and I would like to take videos.
I found some highly modified version, which is ugly and has some broken functionality so I'm looking for others.
I've tried all alternative camera apps from the market, but none are as good. All I'd like is the camera app that came with the phone, but had an on-screen shutter button.
Tonight I was trying to take a picture and email it and the phone became completely unusable. I'd like to see if this is a problem wit just my phone or if other epics are having it. Here is what I was doing so please follow these steps:
1. Open the camera with the side button.
2. Take a picture
3. Go to the picture viewer from the button on the bottom right in the camera app.
4. Choose the "Share" option when viewing the picture and select Gmail
5. I added 1 recipient, a subject, and then when I went to the body of the email to type the phone became completely unusable.
Swype couldn't type and when I tried to hit back or home it just sat there for over a min. Finally, I powered the phone off and rebooted. When I went back in to gmail it became slow again and I just left it for a while. Now it seems to be ok, but I have no idea what happened. The one thing I did notice was that when I chose Share and got into gmail the sync icon came on the taskbar.
Thanks in advance for helping out with this.
unable to duplicate, sir
I had the same issue. It seems like launching the camera app from the side button temp locks up touchwiz. I can't get back to home screen.

This happened to me also when I tried to send a picture I just took via Handcent SMS.
I just had this issue last night. I took about 5 picture I emailed 2 of them. I don't rememberif it froze up right after I sent the email or not but I noticed it when I tried to take another picture. I couldn't take it, I noticed a lock icon on the top of the screen. I couldn't exit the camera app. I shut down the phone using the powe button. The phone ran really slow for awhile, after the boot. Then started running normal. Possible bug I think.

I had the same problem when i went out side and took a picture using the camera button and then tried to send it via gmail to another email address I have. When I clicked send via gmail, my whole phone froze up and I have not yet received the email to my other account with the picture attached.
no duplication but
I was not able to duplicate the issue following your steps...but I did have the phone lock up on me once while in camera mode. The image moved as I moved the phone around, but I could not interact with the phone in any other way. I had to power the device down completely. Don't remember if I was able to use the power button or if i had to remove the battery.
I have the FV-5 camera app, which properly opens when I try to attach a picture to a text message. The picture takes fine, but when the screen jumps back to the message window, it shows the same old picture, likely the last one taken when I used the stock camera app. Can this be fixed to start linking to the FV-5 app?
stumped ya's?
Monthly bump, problem still there....
November, still not working correctly....
January bump :cyclops:

give camera JB+ a try. you can set it to take photos with the volume rockers and do it that way. I use this for regular picture taking too simply because its cumbersome to push the button on the side
Thanks, it worked fine with normal photos but videos didn't
Hi,
I find the behaviour of the S4 stock camera app very annoying since Lolipop came out.
Normally, when you click on the camera icon, you expect that the camera actually opens, right? Well, if you have once started the camera, and then entered the review-mode by clicking on a picture you have just taken, and then press the menu button to return to the home screen, the next time you press the camera button, you will be taken back to exactly that preview, not to the camera view.
This may seem logicl from an app-point of view (app already running), but not from what a user expects: when I push the camera button on the home screen, I want to be taken to the camera instantly, no matter which mode the app was previously.
The next illogical thing is: When you are in picture view mode of the camera app, and press the "back" button on the S4 device hoping to be taken back to camera mode, the app closes, instead of taking you to the camera. The only thing that gets you back is pressing the little camera-symol in the upper right corner of the app.
To sum it up: this is totally annoying, why does Samsung such a bad job there? Anything to change the behaviour?
Won't swiping work?
CM camera and Google camera offer the ability to swipe into gallery and back to the camera.
I guess the thing with you pressing the camera app and it takes you to it's previous state (gallery) is because the camera app and the gallery are tied together.
That picture preview gallery is basically another feature of the camera. Most camera apps come with their own. Even if you don't have any gallery app at all, you can still preview a picture.
