Good day guys, I just got root my S7 edge SC-02H. unfortunately after root i noticed the everytime i took a selfie for 1-5 times the first picture is fine but after 2-5 times i noticed there's a violet color around my photo. then after 5x times of selfies the next photo it turns to black and red and it seems negative color. I read some post and like others they encountered like mine i think their phone is not rooted.
They said just restart the phone then it will back to normal. i did it and it works, but after restart the phone but it keeps happening again. after 1 black and red photo i am not be able to shoot normal again. this happening on my front camera but when i tried to used 3rd party apps i never encounter the problem. anyone know how to fix this?

Is anyone having problems with the camera app? A few times now I have gone to take a pic and the screen is black like it is in standby mode but I can see the the icons around the screen it is like I have covered the lens with my finger but I have not.
I can confirm this too
Happened a few times, found exiting and restarting got it working again. Not had the issue in the last 2 weeks though.
Yeah it is very strange I find that a close and reopen works. I have to say I hope with the new rom the camera app gets a makeover. I have had it happen about 5 times since I have had the phone and it always been when I have wanted to take a quick photo so a bit annoying.
you don't have to exit the camera, just switch to playback mode and back to camera mode, works for me.
i get this prob all the time
I have had the problem too. Can't say when or why. Just about every third or fourth start of camera.
You can actually take a snap with the screen black and you will get a picture. You never know what the picture will be like though.
Hasn't happened since I've used Jack's v1.05
Happened all the time when I was on the default firmware.
just upgraded to Jacks 1.06 last night so will keep you all updated. I have had it happen on Jacks 1.04
Vodafone rom
Generic UK rom
All have had this problem.
Whenever I open up my camera app it will work once or twice and then crash. Only fixed by a reboot and then like i said it will only work a few times. Has any one else experienced this, or am I just lucky?
My camera has been having issues as well. Mine randomly will only display a black screen and will not do anything. I have read that its a shutter issue but my shutter is not stuck. Others have said that the geotagging causes this "black screen" issue and turning it off and rebooting will fix it but that has no effect either. factory resets, data wipes, etc does nothing to fix this. This has been going on randomly for a few months now so I am stummped. Verizon told me that update they pushed a few months ago would fix it but apparently that was useless info too. Anyone have any other options or possible fixes???
Same issue here

Hopefully Verizon and moto will do what they normally do and get a list of all the bugs, then push out an update for them. It's starting to irritate me.
My camera app hasn't crashed any, but I do randomly get blank photos since upgrading. Noticed a couple of plain black ones in my gallery last night that weren't blank in the camera review...
Hi all, currently I'm using the nexus 4 and for the past few days I've been taking lots of pics and I encountered this problem so wanna ask if anyone faced this problem or it's only me. So this is what happened.
I was taking photo of the subject vertically and tapped to focus, after that I noticed something and tilted the phone horizontally immediately and the camera just froze and the phone rebooted.
Please comment guys!
I had this issue.
You can either RMA the device or keep using the camera to determine if the situation gets worse or not. I don't know if it's hardware or software related.
I requested an RMA for my device, if you're wondering. I've taken less photos, but I also don't get the shutter being stuck anymore.
I have used my galaxy s4 normally for 10 days until today its camera appears an issue. This afternoon, when i took picture, my camera's part at the back suddenly vibrate (not notification's vibrate for message, call etc..) and the screen (in camera mode) became wavy. It appears for 3-5 seconds then it became normal and i coule take photos again. However, it still happened for 5 more times. So i dont know whether it is because of hardware problem or software problem. is there anyone experience this problem please help answer me because nobody at my place experience this problem. Sorry for my bad English !
Never heard of such a thing before. Maybe it's your camera shutter playing up and constantly opening and closing, causing the vibration and wavy screen.

It could be a software or hardware issue, It never happened to me(never will) so cant be sure.I suggest you take it back where you bought it from for a fix.

yeah i also think it that way, it should be software problem cause camera shutter constantly opening and closing, hope that it is not hardware problem because it happens normally till now

I brought it back to Samsung service here and they have never heard of this issue before.
Mine also vibrates but usually when its focusing from far away to extreme close up. It must be the focus mechanism.

when yours vibrate, does the phone's screen become wavy? and how long does it take for the vibration?
I have this same problem only on my Galaxy S2 (sprint Epic Touch) The phone will start making a buzzing sound and the screen will go wavy. If I tap on the screen to ask it to focus the buzz stops. However intermittently, even though I do not see the wavy screen or hear the buzzing I go back and look at the pictures I took and I see a couple of them with wavy images.
I have a maintenance contract on my phone so I had it replaced by spring and have the same problem on the replacement phone.
I am disheartened to find the problem still exists on the S4. I like Samsung but I have just had too many issues with the phone, (data shutting off, not receiving texts etc. and have to reboot phone to recover, the phone restarting itself ....) I was hoping they cleared things up in the later models.

so did they say it was because of hardware or software issue?
This happened to me twice or may be 3 times since I purchased S4 i9500 in April.
Phone vibrates and screen become wavy for a second or two. That's it.
It's not regular and I was not able to produce it later, so I didn't gave it much thought.
It could be software because this only happens when I close camera.

thanks for your useful information, that's what i also thought, it haven't happened since i re-installed the firmware. let's see !!!
Had my PH-1 for 3 months, today was the first freeze up of the phone, was stuck with home screen on and displayed.
Had to reboot by holding small button and Volume down. When phone rebooted it came up with the Android laying on its back with the open stomach hatch, had to reboot a 2nd time. Then had options like from Safe Mode, pushed small button below Volume to perform a regular restart.
Found my battery was running down quickly from a full overnight recharge. Looked at the Battery settings and it showed the camera was on top at 29% after about 5 hours WTH?? I did use the camera and this is what I was trying to use when the phone was frozen, but once the phone was rebooted, I snapped like 5 pictures and then I was pretty sure I closed the camera App. I tend to always try to close/kill all open Apps that I am not using.
So not sure what happened or why, just wanted to put this out there so others can read and may respond if this is a common problem due to some update or incompatibility.
Seems there may be a conflict with the latest Camera software and phone OS??
I had my phone freeze again today when I went to take a picture. This is an intermittent issue because I took quite a few pictures this morning without a problem. Then later this afternoon I took a single picture then wanted to take a 2nd and realized the phone was frozen.
Had to reboot the phone, seems to have cleared up for now?
I just noticed that the camera App just updated 6 hours ago on my phone. This was AFTER the 2nd freeze during camera usage.
Currently my phone is running Android stock 7.1.1 and the updated camera App is 0.1.095.007.
It is possible the latest camera App update has solved the freezing problem?
Will wait and update this thread in about a week about how things are working.
Just wanted to update this thread on phone freeze.
Seems that the problem may have been with a prior camera update. I had the phone freeze 2 times, shortly after the 2nd freeze the camera App was updated and since Camera App 0.1.095.007 was deployed I have not had any more problems with the phone freezing.
So hopefully I can say the Essential group was aware of the problem and release a very quick solution.
Still loving the Essentinal phone, would like more camera features, but I guess this will come with time.
Best part is I only charge phone every 2 days the way I use it. Have run Waze for over 3 1/2 hours multiple times with fresh charge and no external power and battery is still slightly over 50%.
So a new camera update version 0.1.097.006 was released and my phone was updated late yesterday or last night.
No problems since the last camera update that came out a few days after the update that caused the phone to lock up. Seems we are back to the same routine.
Used my phone to take a few pictures this afternoon, and guess what, phone locked up again after I took a few pictures and make an outing phone call right after taking the pictures. Put phone back on power after taking the pictures and making the call, I guess the camera App was still open in the background. Looked down and my phone display was on the camera App. Tried to close the App, no go. Unplugged the phone from power and the yellow power LED was still lit and the phone was non responsive.
Held down the power and volume down button to restart the phone.
Expect and hope an update the camera App is released soon to solve this issue. I have faith that the Essential team will resolve this quickly.
