camera not working properly - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Need help]ATOM Camera screen ellapses with background but still partially functional

A little info of the current status:
Device XDA Atom
ROM: pdaviet WM6.1 newest build 20961
Just installed the TCPMP, Flashvideobundle and Vtap for the youtube viewing (if those may interfere the structure of the camera). Then this problem comes up as seen in the embedded photo below no matter how many times I hard and soft reset the phone.
*The current screen stays at the background while the camera function takes place. I can still press the button to take picture under this frozen screen, yet the images may sometimes contain errors. As for the video, I can only capture voice but not the motion. *
The camera compatibility certainly gets me frustrated as every time I install something new, the camera happens to encounter problems. Not to mention it used to be flickering before... I really don't know the reasons why.
Would really appreciate if anyone can help resolve this mystery.

[Q] Google Camera and storage

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...

[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.

System Data on External SD taking up over 20GB

My memory card today told me I was running low which I found odd.
Upon checking I noticed System Data was taking over 20GB of room.
Before using this memory card on this phone I formatted it as set it up for external use
I have been searching on google for a while and cant find any reason for this or how to fix it
Any ideas?
thanks

Found a fix
From your phone dialler, dial *#9900#
Tap on Delete dumpstate/logcat and it will show you dump result. Click okay and exit and reboot
Dial *#9900#
is working for some mobiles only.
Not for all. Others are still finding it difficult to get rid of insufficient memory message popping up when updating apps.
This problem is big and most users are suffering.
No other way than to format a mobile / factory reset.
*#9900# doesn't work on AOSP roms -.-
Edit:
Unplugging the MicroSD card, putting it into a Windows PC, and putting it back to Android changed the files. They showed up as Found.00 and i could delete them.

Moto G4 photo errors

Hi guys!
I have a problem with my wife's Moto G4. Front camera (stock app) is taking pictures with errors (see attachment). When this happens all controls (shutter button, camera switch, etc) dissappear from the screen. Front camera works fine.
Could this be a hardware issue?

C'mon guys. Anybody?
Have you tried using a different camera app? This looks like a software bug
I used to have that problem, but it seems disappeared with the last update.
This is a software bug which mainly happens after double twist gesture to launch camera. This seems to go away in last update though
Moto G4 is after update, still the same. Wipe did not help...

Is it happening always or only some times
3 out of 7 times. Front camera. Rear is OK (besides constant focusing....)
You should go to warranty.
