Hey guys,
As the title explains, since I did the Oreo update on my A2017G (A2017GV1.3.0B02), I got a weird issue with the camera app.
Every time I take a picture, I have to wait for 5~10 seconds for the app to save the picture on my phone. If I try to take another picture right away, switch to another app, or do anything else, the picture isn't saved at all...
It's really annoying especially when I want to rapidly take more than one picture.
The issue isn't present in any other app that use the camera.
Does any of you know how to fix that?
Thanks
Is it set to save to internal storage or SD?

I tried both, and both are having the same issue.
Tried to also disable or change options like quality or GPS, still no changes.
my friend's axon had that problem on marshmallow, i didn't because i bought it later and my phone came with nougat. now on oreo it happened sometimes until i reseted the phone (for other reasons too) and the camera app. i don't have any problems yet.
If it takes the image and the problem comes after, it's either the image processing or saving of file.
I reset my phone and formatted my card to try and avoid issues. Camera works great.
Screwed with work mode and fingerprints, now cannot delete saved prints. Grrr, need to reset again. I tried flashing Oreo back over the top of itself which worked fine but no luck fixing the fingerprint problem so I assume the issue is in saved data.
You can flash yours back over. Download the OTA update file from the Oreo thread and use it same as an SD card update. I always keep a ROM in my SD just in case I need to fix it. Put it in a folder and just copy to SD root if you need to use it.
Thanks for your help guys, I found a fix to this issue, so I'm sharing it here in case people need.
It's very simple; just go the app manager and delete the camera app data.
Now restart it and it should work nicely ?

What problem do you have with the finger print scanner?
I realized mine got a lot less sensitive and precise since I updated to Oreo, and fail to read my fingerprints really often.
Edit: nevermind, I didn't read your post correctly
What a PIA, had to reset my phone again to fix the fingerprint issue. Setting up from beginning again. This time I will only use two prints

Ouch that's annoying indeed.
How many prints did you register before having your issue?
All 5 ?
This time only 2 registered. Live and learn.......?
It's running well at present ?

Hello Everyone,
I made a search, but I could find only one reference to something similar to me...
I keep having the message "Camera Initialisation Error..." (in french, that is), whenever I try to use the camera after a long time...
To correct this, one thing that work but that is hassle is to power on the phone, take out the SD card, that turn on again, and there it works... miracle. Then I can put back the SD card, and it keeps working... till soemthing happen (I don't know what, and why) and it all starts again "Camera Initialisation Error...".
Has any of you got this?
It does not matter where I tell the camera to save the picture.
I did the camera and SD card hotfixes.
It does not look like hardware
So, any clue?
Thanks in advance...
I have the exact same problem. My camera works again with power on and off. annoying!

I may have been the person who posted the original post that you saw, and to be honest you should have just added to that instead of opening a new thread.

Anyway, no one seems to know what the problem is, but yes doing a simple restart addresses it. Could be a bit embarrassing though LOL...hold on a minute...its reloading...on the Windows splash screen...wont be long...keep smiling...!
Have any of you applied any registry tweaks either manually or via BSB Tweaks? I noticed the issue happening after applying the tweaks, but when reverting the settings back the issue still cropped up anyway.
A mystery me thinks.
Well, im in here too, i had this issue with thee official german ROM 1.48 too, but not with the 1.43 T-Mobile ROM i had before 1.48. Now im on 1.61, but the error was still there after setting up and tweaking my device.
After a hard reset the camera worked, every single time, so it must have something to do with the things i changed on my device. So i made my way through everything i installed/tweaked and reversed it.
To get to my point: The error disappeared after my last action: Uninstalling Skype Mobile and changing the picture saving location in the camera options from SD card to main memory. 2 days later...no error. I have set it back to SD card meanwhile and another day without the message passed. So i think its gone, but im not completely sure why. Maybe thats helpful for you, good luck!
Hello,
sorry about doubling the thread....
If some moderator pass by, please, you can append this thread to the one quoted by Morpheus.
Anayway, I did the check in the registry, so let's see what it give.
Notice that in my case, a soft reset wasn't enough. I really had to do the sd card removal thing...
Also, I did use swype before (but I uninstalled it a whuile ago due to other freeze issues and to the landscape bug as well). Actually, I miss it as I think it was a great SIP. Now I use shapewriter, to try... I don't know if it could lead to the same camera problem....
Anyway, I'll try to re-initialize the camera and see how long it lasts with the change I made in the registry. Only in P2 I had a different entry... instead of 48 I had 20000 -ish.... weird...
Thanks
Vdl
dont we have a chance to reinstall just the device.exe or camera drivers?.
thank u
i get this error when i use swype, everything works until i use the swype then the cam wont work... i really like the swype so i hope someone finds a solution
i've gotten this pop up...but it only happened after i tried to install qik on my phone...
I'm using a rooted stock Froyo ROM. Whenever I launch the camcorder, or launch camera and switch to video, /system/bin/mediaserver crashes and begins using 100% of the CPU until a reboot. I tried wiping cache, wiping all of the camera app's data, but nothing works. Problem is 100% reproducable.
It started the first time I went into camcorder. I hit the record button, and all the other pressable buttons on the screen disappeared EXCEPT the red record button, but it never started recording.
WTF. How can I fix this?

I have the exact same issue. Were you ever able to fix it?

This happened to me, had a corrupt picture file on SD card. Deleted the bad pic and all was well again, best to remove all picture files from sd card and start over saving new pics to card.
having same damn issue
it is what another member said. a bad pic or something on the phone. i copied all my stuff off the sd card and then formated it. then put things on bits by bits and it fixed the issue.
This worked like a champ. My wife's EVO had the exact same issue. We dumped the 100MEDIA folder and we're good to go. Thank you!
I jus received my a500 tab, been using it for a couple of days. trying to use the camera functions and the apps keep force closing and the image window stays black. Is there a fix or do i have a bad tablet.
Try a factory reset?
Go to settings, privacy, factory data reset, hopefully you haven't don too much since you got it, as this will wipe all your personal settings.
You can also try just clearing the data for the camera by going to settings, applications, storage use, find camera and select "clear data"
This generally fixes allot, or you can reset more (caches etc) in the recovery menu, you can find info on that in the dev section.
hope this helps!
Ive tried resets. no luck. It seems like there is a problem with the camera hardware. Has anyone else had this issue.
how do i access the stock recovery on the iconia tab?
Lost pictures
When ever I take some pictures I can reveiw them them with no problem. When I turn the unit off and turn on latter all the pictures that I had taken are gone. Any one else having this problem. This problem seems to have started after the 1.41 update. All picture taken prior to update are stilled saved.
Try manually updating the System firmware.
Having the same issue with saving pictures/files to external sd card. After a power off/reboot all pictures/files are erased.
acer iconia a500 rooted
To the OP - if it was borked out of the box AND you've reset it AND you use the stock camera apps then take it back - definitely a HW issue.

I have an issue where my time zone resets to default after restarting. I wonder if these are linked. Something with the tablet not shutting down properly causing settings or other things like pictures not to save.
I started a separate thread about it a few days ago:

Having Exact same issue. Prior to the FW update i can take pictures that get saved in External SD, without any issue ever after reboot. However after update when i take picture, i can see it in External SD card and review them. But after a reboot all new pictures get deleted.
My acer is rooted and running 141.07 com gen1.
EDIT: If i rename the pictures in external sd after i taken them, then after reboot they dont get deleted. Wonder if there some way to rename in batch or some app that can do that automatically?

sounds like a newly introduced bug to me??
you should contact support and report the issue. If they can duplicate the problem, it will likely be addressed in a future update.....
Has anyone else noticed that when you power the screen off but then want to power it up right away afterwards there is about 2-3 seconds where the screen just stays black? Im wondering if its the animation that is causing this. Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
I know this is a little bit old thread but I have the same problem on my S7 Edge Duos SM-G935FD, it's on stock rom. Did you find a way to fix it?

Since the August update I have observed that the Gallery hangs very often and the pics dont show up immediately. Also the phone in general lags while unlocking. Earlier i used to think its because of the update. But whenever i remove the sd card it works fine. I am using a 64 GB Sandisk 80 mbps class 10 card. Could it be because of the card? Dont wanna spend another 1600 Rs for a card only to find that the problem isnt solved .
Should i try using Samsung card?

Got a lot of pictures on it? It probably lags because it needs to load a lot of images

Hi again,
Here is a video showing the lag
And it is present regardless of SD Card/LTE and even after cleaning cache or wiping data

That is definitely too much lag.
Are you running stock rom? Running xposed with a lot of modules? I read about the latest aod update gave some users lag. But I don't know the extend of it.

I forgot to precise it is SM-G935FD. I suspected OTA updates at first and I tried factory resetting the Stock ROM through stock recovey multiple times but the lag reappears either immediately or after a few days (without installing new apps). I then decided to root it and flash superman ROM latest version (with SupeSU, Xposed and magisk and with SuperKernel), it got fixed and then for whatever reason it reappeared again. Now I've tried clean installing the same ROM and following the same steps without any luck.
Hello there,
So I've got some updates on this lag that may help others :
-First, it doesn't matter if you're on stock or on custom ROM.
-It has nothing to do with SD cards or LTE network.
-A simple reboot or powering off/on makes the lag disappear momentarily.
-A clean falsh (with smart switch) can help but doesn't make the problem go away indefinitely, I'm not sure why. It still happens after that but a lot less frequently.
-I've narrowed down the bug to Google play Services, anything that it has permissions to access can cause the bug to reappear, installing apps, downloading contents through apps, making a phone call and sometimes taking a picture/deleting it... Etc.
-disabling Auto-updates in Play Store, proved rather helpful.
-Finally, I think that Samsung will fix this lag, intentionally or not, with the Nougat update since it is apparently a compatiblity issue with the latest Google play services updates.
In my experience, doing a clean flash, disabling Auto-updates both in Settings and Play Store makes the lag less frequent. Powering off/on solves it when it does occur occasionally.
Same error
I am also facing the same problem after upgrading to Android N, but I have not find any solution yet.
Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.
II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.
I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.
I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
