Back camera not saving pictures! Help - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So yesterday I was out and I took a few pictures and noticed the camera app was NOT saving them. The front camera worked fine and saved correctly but every time I take a picture with the back camera it seems as though it's taking the picture but doesn't save it.
I updated today to 7.1 and same issue. I tried uninstalling the app updates but still same issue. Any idea? Can I flash the camera app somehow?

You may want to try to download another camera app, or use another app you may already have (i.e.: Snapchat), to see if it's the camera app or the camera itself.

[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
HTC Magic 32A CyanogenMod 5
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] 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.

Camera not working at all after an update from Google

Just received an update from Google. Installed it and now the camera app has stopped working !! The rear camera probably is the issue as even when I use Open Camera, I can't go to the rear camera and take pics. This is just very very frustrating! Already had issues with the native camera app and now this ! Software glitches that too with Google are really frustrating as there is no way I can reach them
Also, my flashlight isn't working. Could this be a hardware issue?
Any help or suggestions? Other than another factory reset?
Please help !

Try clearing the system cache. If that doesn't work stop the native camera app. If you get a message to undo all updates and revert to stock hit yes. Clear any app data then reboot phone. Restart camera app.

Open 6 + Camera Service...

After open 6 update, I notice that photos looks worse than in open 5 and some functions like hdr are not working. Is the camera service not working?

Wait for the open 7. Sad but true. I tried everything that you can imagine. The only way that I fixed this, was installing the oneplus camera mod. The problem seems to be with the new camera app or camera service. The stranger thing is that I only saw you and another guy complayning about this.
Did you both clean installed Open Beta 6? Cleaned cache?
Sorry if this seems trivial but to have the same common ground it would be helpful to know this.

Sure. The problem is with latest camera app (2.5.25). I uninstalled it and installed the 2.5.23 from open 5, and everything is working now. The problem with 2.5.25, is when you take a picture and see it from the gallery shortcut on camera app, the post processing will not working, but if you go into gallery app, the post processing will be realized.

I am asking because i am using OB6 and i cant reproduce this misbehavior. It is working as it should and if this would be a reproducible problem, the OP forums would be filled with this i guess.

But, here is not working as should be. If I take a picture and try to see it directly from gallery shortcut on camera app, the pictures will be with much noise and hdr and hq will not be applied. But, if I go into gallery, the pictures will looks great and hdr and hq will be applied.

Camera/gallery crashing - no error message

Hi all,
Sometimes, when I try to take photos with the built-in camera app, the app closes and doesn't save the picture (see the link). However, I don't know if the problem is with the camera app or gallery. Once, when this problem happened, I tried to take a picture inside WhatsApp and it worked just fine.

I bought my S10+ during Black Friday and the only other thing that caught my attention is that sometimes it requires my pin instead of my fingerprint. In my S6 it only happened when the phone restarted, but I don't know about the S10. If it is the same case then the phone is restarting randomly and that is worrisome.
Thanks in advance,
Luiz
Sounds like it might be defective and a warranty claim is needed. However, first try flashing the currenr firmware with Odin and see if that fixes it.

Are you using a theme?
I am using synergy, sometimes when a app updates it will crash, i have to remove the theme overlays and reinstall and rebuild the theme.
Also when i used ADB to remove gallery because i use Google Photos. I couldn't use the camera either so i had to reinstall Gallery. You could try uninstalling updates from the app settings and let it update again, see if the issue persists.

I may try that, as the other option of flashing the firmware is a little bit more tricky. However, I don't use any theme and it is pretty much the same as out of the box.
I confirmed with my wife and she is having the same camera problem, with the cellphone at random times asking for her pin instead of the fingerprint.
i had the same issue before and wiping cache from boot-loader solved the issue for good
