Camera force closing - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hello , I have a small problem that I got it today , I was taking pictures and observed that they weren't saved..the the camera app force closed.. inreboot the phone ,cleared the camera app then tried again ..the only mode that seems to still work is live focus,when I try to change it force closing. I am on exynos with latest asd4 update

First I would try taking photos in Safe Mode. The reason I say this is because I'm wondering if there is another app that is claiming your camera. By starting it in Safe Mode you should be stopping any other apps that aren't directly opened from opening and thus preventing any other app from claiming your camera. If it works in SM I would then turn to permissions and defaults. Remove any apps from the camera permission and then with the app details, Settings>Applications, remove any apps that default to the camera app. Then as apps ask for permission to use your camera you'll have to evaluate whether the app is trustworthy or not, whether you want it or not.

I don't think is that , I cleared cache from recovery mode ,it worked a day and now is starting crushing again. If it was an app ..but I don't think it is,coz I didn't installed something new that needs camera permission this days

were you saving to external sd? what brand and model is it

Since 6.0.1 Update, Instagram/SnapChat no longer save photos to device after upload

Don't know if anybody else is having this issue but ever since updating to 6.0.1, whenever I post something to Instagram or SnapChat the pic/video does not save to my 6P. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the apps. I have given the apps all the permissions. I have also disabled all apps from being able to perform a screen overlay over other apps which was a message I would get when trying to give the apps permissions to storage.
I still have the original Instagram and SnapChat folders on my 6P with photos in them before the 6.0.1 update but nothing is being saved to them ever since Don't know if there's anything else I can do or have to wait til Instagram or SnapChat release an update to fix the issue. Seems to be a few other people complaining about it from reading recent reviews of the apps.
Thought I'd check here if anyone had any solutions. Thanks

Yeah it's probably something Snapchat needs to fix. It's one of the drawbacks to being on the cutting edge. I don't know what you have tried already but you may try and booting to recovery and clearing cache. I would assume if your camera saves photos to the gallery then all is normal, besides your Snapchat.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try that and see what happens. Yeah, no problems with pics/videos from the camera from being saved. And I actually am using an App called Instagram Photo Saver which allows me to save Instagram photos to my device which Google Photos is saving but the photos saved by the app are at a much lower resolution. But yes, SnapChat when I toogle enable storage access to SnapChat it does say "This app was designed for an older version of Android. Denying permission may cause it to no longer function as intended." Unfortunately, it's not working as intended either way.

Do you know if there is an issue using Snapchat filters on the 6P? I am getting a message that the device isn't supported.

Facebook Messenger & Snapchat Clashing

Hello all. I'm not much of a developer myself but I know a decent amount about Android apps. I've been having trouble with Snapchat recently on my 6P. Lots of times, especially when on the actual camera page of Snapchat, the app is very unresponsive, it crashes, and it won't function or take pictures. I recently realized that this usually happens when Facebook Messenger is open and I try to use Snapchat at the same time. I suspect this is because Facebook Messenger keeps the camera open at all times and so does Snapchat (I believe that is well-known). I can't post the screenshot but the bottom menu bar of Messenger has a camera icon which instantly brings up an inline camera window for quickly taking and sending pictures. I can't confirm this because I'm not sure how to detect if an app has a lock on the camera but this is my theory. Has anyone else experienced this or possibly looked into it? Thanks guys.
I never recognized this because every time a app wants to use camera or sth like that i must allow it,
(but then its not a fast feature anymore ).
But im not really understand your problem, or is it necessary for you that both apps are running at the same time?
By the way, are you running stock or a rom? Rooted?

The problem is I often use both apps at the same time so this suspected camera lock problem slows my phone to a crawl and causes Snapchat to be unusable when I have FB Messenger running.

Stock camera opening lag

Am on stock 7.0 on my Moto g4 plus and whenever I try opening the camera, it takes a good 3 to 4 seconds to open by which time, the thing I want to capture is gone. I have also disabled the Camera Tuner app, but there is no difference in the lag. Any fixes for this issue please?
I am not rooted.

Open app settings, find camera app, try to clear cache of that app and force close it.
If that didn't helped, try to clear cache in recovery.
If that didn't help: factory reset

Camera not working

Hi XDA Community,
I'm having trouble accessing my the record feature with front facing camera on many apps except the stock camera app . On some apps it wouldn't even allow me to switch to my front facing camera at all; when I pressed the switch camera it would revert to the back camera. Apps like WeChat does allow me to take pictures using the front facing for selfies, but not video chat.
Things I tried so far.. reboot my phone, clearing caches, uninstalling useless apps (I still have a lot of space), checked the permissions on all apps, reset the app preferences. enabled camera, I spent almost three hours checking for answers. I need to use the front facing video capture. Please help. Much love and thanks!

Spotify app keeps crashing

Hi I've been having this problem for a week where my Spotify app keeps crashing everytime I open it. I did all the necessary stuff like reinstall the app, clear cache and data and soft reboot phone. Still can't work, it's been fustrating as I use Spotify daily and not being able to use it now is annoying. Not sure if it's the app that's the problem or the S10+. Anyone else experiencing this?
Crushing how? FC on start or stop working after you turn off the screen? In that case make sure Spotify is excluded from sleeping apps and enabled to work in background.
Sorry just read your post again and it's crushing on start so I don't know what is wrong.

You are not using a synergy theme by chance?
Only mention because if the app updates, you have to reapply or remove theme mod for the app or it will stop working.
Meaning every time I open the app, it will load for a second and the app just force closes. I have attached a screenshot of the message. It does this everytime I reinstall. And yes it's excluded from the sleeping apps.
