[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] Worst image quality on gallery

Hi guys
I found that when I shoot a photo, it has a very high quality when is on shooting, but when I search for it in gallery, its quality is a lot decreased, comparing to it while I was shooting. How should this be fixed? (I use Camera FV-5 for the camera, and QuickPic for the gallery)
Maybe should I apply a mod/tweak, or some mods to build.prop?

Try stock camera or Google camera. And just you can use stock gallery. Try it. And tell us what is the result?

I'll try it, thank you. With Google Camera i've already tried and had worst quality both on shooting and on gallery . I found a solution, modifying every photo after the shot with an image editing app, but it means a big waste of time...Do you know if I should download stock apps? Or do I have to extract them from stock firmware compressed file?

Its your choice. But may be there are something wrong in your rom. Which one have you used? If you have a custom rom you should have to try a stock one. And if you are on stock then try to re flashed a firmware.

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.

Front camera laggy

Since after an update (b184) my front camera is super laggy and not smooth like before. This happens only with the stock app and not always, with google camera it is smooth. Clear data and cache of the app doesnt help, I haven't tried factory reset. Any other idea that might solve it ?

I haven't tried other camera apps. But the lag you say is the common problem BUT it is not that big issue. When you record video, it becomes 30 fps. However to take a picture, you need to keep phone steady as possible as you can

I have the same issue, just use google camera

Yeah but stock apps are always better than 3rd party. I need the integrations it has, swipe from lock screen, double tap volume down, direct link with gallery and I don't want to use another gallery app for that.

Camera zoomed by default in video mode

Hi. My camera in video mode works in zoom by default, in photo mode everything goes well. This issue appears in stock rom and in xiaomi.eu rom on all camera apps (footej camera's zoom is the shortest one as far as i know). Had anyone the same problem ? No clue what's happening ... :crying::crying::crying:

I think everybody has this problem , i don't really know if it can be normal . Had this thing since i bought the phone .

Do you think that flashing different camera app could help ?

I've tried Open Camera and Footej Camera on the latest Global Beta rom and it shows zoomed in into the preview but when you press the record button it shows and records absolutely normal. Try with another camera and see if it's the same... I don't know what to say..

I think there is some EIS. That's why it is zoomed in. Using another camera will be the solution to your problem.
