[Q] Google Camera and storage - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I checked my devices storage and found something more annoying than interesting. Its about the Google Camera and my storage. I took about 250 pics with the Google Camera and it takes about 1,34 GB space (pictures below). But the Google Camera also take this amount of space away. So technically spoken there are double space taken away.
Why?
Can anyone tell me? Thanks?

Backup your photos somewhere, then try clearing Google Camera's data. What happens?

I also considered that, but nothing happens when I cleared it. And although I move all pictures to my computer, the camera still occupied so much storage. Thats strange...

Galaxy S 4G Low Memory

Out of the box I have 190mb free. This isn't supposed to be normal is it? Did Samsung/T-Mob really put .8gb worth of **** on here?
190 mb rom left? Thats sad.
^Exactly. That's why I don't know if mine has a problem or that's just how it is. I'm hoping more people with the phone come in and comment
Same situation here so yours don't have a problem, I think this is just how it is out the box.
I caught it the day it launched.

It's the same pic I posted in another thread.
T-Mobile and Samsung need to explain the application storage problem. It's not better than nexus one if the storage isn't that much.
It does indeed have 1gb total internal with only 190mb free for apps. I can't install anything past the 50mb left mark though...keeps telling me the memory is insuficient and to delete apps 1st...Called Tmobile tech and they said they hadn't heard of that issue yet. I'm sure developers will be able to make some changes to rooted phones and bring back some lost storage so I'm not too worried. It won't be quite as easy to use Clockwork recovery and flash a new ROM though since there might not be enough free room to put the rom on the internal storage. I'm sure we can use ODIN to put a new one on though...

[Q] Phone thinks no storage left!! help

So my SM-G900H keeps giving me the "internal storage running out" warning even though in storage settings it says I have 14.98gb of free space. I also took out the SD card now to eliminate that factor and still this message is there. It doesn't let me install apps because it says there isn't enough storage space for them. However, it still Downloads the app no problem, error pops up when it tries to install it. I went through the whole internet and couldn't find anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

The entire internet, huh? How long did that take you to do?
Anyway, back to reality - a forum search usually fixes issues like this. It's a good habit to actually search before posting, as it often gives you an instant answer. And at least lets you pose better informed questions.
Try the solution in the top search result. And failing that, restore a backup or write a 100% stock firmware image to the phone to correct obscure system corruption.

camera not working properly

hi guys, my camera has stopped working properly recently. when i take pictures the and press the camera button the white frame usually appears to indicate the picture has been taken, however sometimes i have to press it multiple times before the white frame appears and after i take pictures they seem to look "split" and "cracked". could this be due to me deleted a few samsung bloatware apps with titanium backup? but i have not deleted any samsung camera apps, just unneccessary apps such as s health etc. also after recording a video i have to press the stop button a few times before it actually stops and when i try to play the video it says "video cannot be played". any help?
i am using the stock samsung camera app. this problem doesnt occur all the time but when it does its very annoying.
i will attach a sample below

It's probably the sd card, happened to me before, try to use your device as your camera storage first and then check the image, you can also move the photo to your sd card from your internal storage and see what happens.

[Q] Photos and Gallery issue

Hello.
I have some kind of problem here. The storage shows that i have around 700 MB in photos and videos. The thing is that i don't have any photos on my phone, only 20+ wallpapers, but they are ~20 MB. I've disconnected sync with Google+ and Photos. So does anyone have similar problem and maybe knows the answer to this "problem'.
And here is SS.

Camera Issues after Root. Any ideas?

I'm having issues with my camera ever since I rooted.
I'm on Att Variant of GS5. I Used Towelroot to root. I'm running stock Touchwiz Rom/ 4.4.4 KK/ and OA1 Kernal. To achieve Root I had to flash to Kernal ND3 then Back to 0A1.
Ever since I've done this my camera app (stock Samsung camera) will take photos and mess them up while saving I'm guessing. The thumbnails for the photos show up in the bottom corner of the app that takes you to gallery but they will not be there. I took a total of maybe 10 photos of my friends vehicle they are trying to sell. It successfully save the first few, then you can see where on photo partially saved. Then the rest of the photos are not available.
Ill post a screenshot of my gallery where you can see this. This is not the first time this has happened. It happened directly after root and I cleared the app data and cache. That did work but obviolsy it was only a temporary fix. If anyone knows how I can solve this problem for good please help me out. Thanks in advanced
