odd camera issue (viewing) - Samsung Infuse 4G

I am running a infused rom and so far so good.
I have taken about 10 pics all with no troubles but then last night I would take a picture and it would not show in the small preview box (its black) also when I go to view a picture, pressing the folder on the left side does not bring up the pics.
Using root explorer I can see the photos I just took but when I choose one, the picture never displays. Just a black background with the slideshow or more icons
very very odd.
And ideas

Have you tried to restart/reboot the phone so the media scanner can run?
There should be an APP on the market which would simply run the media scanner without the need to restart/reboot of the phone.

that did the trick. Thank you

Camera question

Hello,
Is there a tweak or possibilty or tool to let the camera app record video without the camera app visible onscreen. The app must be visible onscreen or it stops recording :/
Let's say you want to do other things on your phone and record video in the meantime. Now every time I leave the camera application (without closing it) and let's say phone someone then the camera stops recording .
Thx in advance.
Anyone has an idea?
iteresting thing.. i dont found any else app.
Sorry i cant help..
I do have another question I've been meaning to ask tho...
Has any one else noticed this..
When you have camera app open ready to take a picture, if you press the black between buttons on the right hand side it makes a Grey dotted box flash around the picture, noticed it helps with the picture taking time, almost like a "hold button half way to prime a digital camera"
Am I tripping or am I right??
Just not heard of any one else ever mentioning this...
Can't help either

I think you mean the frame showing what is actually being captured on your picture (instead of the whole 'wide' view you have before taking the picture).

Sorry you've confused me..
When I open the camera app, it opens full screen with 3 icons,
Flash, shutter(take picture) and settings..
I presume every one else is the same (exept possibly cooked roms)..
When you press settings tab and all the settings are around the screen pop up..
Press the gap between the shutter button and the settings button(a dotted box will show clearly around the middle flashing for a couple of seconds)
Now take a picture, measure the time it takes from you pressing and the picture capture..
Now do the same as you normally would.. Press the shutter..
Just seems way faster with the flashy box going than without.
Can you tell me why?
friendly bump.
I am wondering what it does as well.
I'm sorry, it took me some time to figure it out.
I think this is described in the manual on page 240.
Particulary at the footnote:
'Note If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.'
Is this what you mean?

Weird Gallery Issue

First of all, I'm on an unrooted Thunderbolt with stock Sense UI and am using the stock gallery as well as the stock camera app.
Today, three different times, I've had some weird problems with my gallery. I'll load it up to find thumbnails of old pics that I've already transferred off my phone. For example, I took pics 36 - 40 (including video 5) off my phone and have two new pics (41 and 42) on there currently. When this strange reload happens, of which I cannot figure out, it shows pics 36 - 40 and the one video in there and not my recent pics. All of the pics won't open (rightfully so as they are no longer on the phone) and some will have missing thumbnails with a little icon on it, making it seem as if they are corrupt (which is what I thought when I first saw this).
The only way to fix this I've found is to use this app I have called SDrescan. I haven't tried restarting the phone as an option. It might work or it might not.
What would be the cause of this? I tried to recreate what I was doing at the time this happened those three times but it just seems to happen after a while. I would really like some insight to this as it's annoying to not be able to upload a pic I just took due it not recognizing it in the gallery.

[Q] Gallery Delete

I was looking at photos on my SD card in my TF700 dock. I was viewing them from the stock gallery. I was in the film strip view and swyping left and right through the photos and unintentionally swped at a left/down angle and the photo slid down off the screen. I didn't think much of it and continued on and then a few other photos did the same thing. This probably happened on like 5 photos before i noticed a brief undo popup in the bottom right corner. I didn't think it would delete photos without some sort of confirmation, but I guess I was wrong. Is there any way to undelete these photos and to turn off this feature? I am not unlocked or rooted and upgraded to JB this morning.

Sliding to the right in the camera doesn't show most recent picture

When I take a picture and slide to the right to view the picture it doesn't show my most recent shot. It shows the shot I just took two pictures behind. So basically I have to slide to the right two pictures to see the picture i just took. If I delete the two pictures, it works fine for a bit, then this starts happening again. Anyone else experiencing this?

Try fiddle with timezone detection settings.
I used to have this problem on my n4 sporadically and seems most if the time happened with photo spheres stuck in a future time. Toggle the timezone detection setting a bit and see if it goes better?

Cannot scan documents for some time now

I have a few applications, one of them i usually use CamScanner. Of course, there is Office Lens, Google drive Scan, but something happened recently: i can no longer scan documents. The app openes with the camera, but when i press the photo button to take a picture, the app freezes for a few seconds then allows me to press again. (this happenes in CamScanner)
Office lens allows me to push but there is no picture taken to be scanned.
Google drive freezes as well for 1-2 seconds.
At first i thought: ok, i might have installed something, since the phone was rooted, TWRP installed (camera working!! i can take normal pictures), and messed up with the camera. Took the fastboot route and cleaned the rom again with a script, reinstalled the OS, all partitions (no exceptions), Data partition formated (backed up!): same thing. Installed both apps, none take pictures. This worked a few days ago, nothing much changed in between ( i might be subjective ). But on a clear phone?
I need to know what's going on...
Oh, something to add: for about 1-2 weeks, i have been having some strange movement on the screen with the gboard, appearing and re-appearing when i was trying to type, like some pixel was pressing on the screen on the right side, down. Some pixel on the touch screen pressing continuously? I dunno, nothing else is affected, i can write, take pictures and so on...
Right now it's not manifesting on the clean install...
That sounds strange. I am using mobile doc scanner from STOIK Soft without any problems (rooted, magisk, xposed). It also gives you the option to load existing images on your phone to load and edit.
Maybe try this and see if it works.
Tried the app, only works with the system camera, and not the camera from the app. I don't understand what's going on....
CamScanner works as well with system camera, but not the embedded one.
Grrr.r...
Are the problem solve? .. I have same problem here after upgrade to pie.. If I downgrade to oreo no problem to use scanner application.. I'm using avenger edition anyway..
