Hey Folks,
Not sure if this goes into the developer part of the forum, but it's pretty deep, so I guess that's the spot.
Sometimes, when I shoot a picture, my SD card umounts, or at least the camera app says so.
Now, usually a reboot fixes things. Occasionally, I had to do fsck -a, which fixed things. Now, I don't have a USB cord handy and a strange thing occurred to me: When I try to view the shot picture via the picture viewer, I can see it perfectly but I get an error message that com.android.camera force closes. But the camera isn't launched - I killed it after the first two attempts via Process Manager for Root Users - what's up? Is the camera app needed to view pictures? That seems wrong...
Thanks for all the help I can get.

That is odd...
Do you have any themes or wonky mods on your phone? To answer your last question..yes, in order to view pictures, you need to have the camera app installed.
Which build are you running? Do you happen to have a vanilla Camera.apk handy to test if something strange has happened with the one present on your device?

ADP1. Nothing else, every app is standard, although I have used the SnapPhoto app occasionally. Hm, ok, I'm half at-ease now that I know that the camera process isnt' some kind of virus.

Camera.apk is vanilla ADP1. It's really strange. Could my SD card be broken? Although, when uploading stuff from PC, playing MP3s, nothing like this seems to happen.

Ah, thanks. I've got SanDisk 16 GB category 2. I'm getting a replacement tomorrow and post the results in this thread. Though I'd like to upgrad to Cat 4 if they let me. I heard apps launched from SD card should run faster then.
I am having pretty much the same problem. I can't view any pics on my phone, although they show up on my computer when I mount the camera to my computer. All I get is a weird icon in place of all the photos. It even tells me how many photos I have in each folder, just no thumbnails shown. When I try to view an individual picture it says "The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly." And I have to force close.
When I try to take a photo with the phone it says I need to insert an sd card to take a picture, but when I look under storage it shows the sd card fine.
I am running JF's RC30 1.41 with the BUUF theme, although I don't THINK that is causing the problem. I'm pretty sure it worked fine until the other night when I tried to take a photo with the battery really low and the phone shut down on it's own. However, I went into the card and deleted the jpg files that weren't showing a thumbnail picture thinking that would solve it, but no dice. Any thoughts? Is there a way to just re-install the camera app? I usually use SnapPhoto but the same no sd card message occurs with both camera apps.
I reported this issue to Google here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...ID Type Version Security Status Owner Summary
Their official position is "There's been some significant improvements in that area that will be in a future release." Hopefully, this is included in RC33 just coming out, even though it has not been mentioned so far.
My interim solution was to use a different card (my trouble card was a SanDisk 8GB). I used a 2GB for a while with no problems at all, but I have been using another 8GB car for a week and have not had any trouble. I'd recommend a Class 6 card like the Adata I just got.
i noticed when i remove the camer.apk i lose the shortcut to the picture viewer and the shortcut when long pressing the home screen to add a wallpaper. after removal the only option is wallpaper gallery
Just an update. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, but after removing the bad .jpg's from my sd card I finally rebooted the phone and I now have a working camera and I can browse my pictures. So anyone else having problems, check your picture folders for files that won't show a thumbnail and remove those. See if that helps. Just remember to reboot your phone afterward.
If the thumbnails have become corrupted then that can cause crashes. Delete thumbnails so it can catologue all the picstures again
I'm terribly sorry but I forgot the promised update to this thread.
They gave me a replacement SanDisk SD card at fnac without much of a hassle and after the phone had indexed the 2200+ pictures on the phone, everything was smooth. I don't have camera app crashes at the moment.
My SanDisk ist 16 GB Class 2. Lots of thanks to funbacon!
Ok so I have a mystery to solve..
I took a pic with the stock camera on rom 6.3.6 earlier tonight. For some reason the pic before it and the pic after it saved into the Gallery, but not this VERY IMPORTANT pic. The pic did in fact take successfully though, I looked at it on the phone after taking it and saw it had shot successfully. But it's not saved in the Gallery. In my mind, though, I'm thinking that even though it might not have saved properly in the Gallery folder or whatever, that it must be still held in some temp memory or folder, given that it did in fact display on the screen..and that as long as I don't turn off the phone, it must be in there somewhere still...
So you xda sleuths..any ideas where it might be stored? As I said, this pic is VERY important and I'd really really like to recover it. I'm scrounging through every folder however small with Root Explorer right now trying to find it..
If it's there it will be in dcim/cammera/
That would be where it was stored if it was saved to the Gallery, right?
Where are pics stored in the interim ie between the taking of the shot and then saving it there? While it's being displayed briefly on the screen?

I have had this problem multiple times acrobat69.
I have had to play with the OC speed and vsel - 800/64 seems to work the best for me for camera and video camera.
If I go more .. or sometimes less I get things lost, or lock up.. and just not work.. sometimes crash the phone.. this is on 6.3 rc3 - I have not upgreaded to 6.3.6 yet.
James
Hey James fwiw I've found 6.3.6 really stable for the most part. Its not that the camera crashed, it just didn't save that one time for some reason.

Is there a grey icon with a ! in the middle of it? Use the search button on this General forum a look for my thread called Failed to read/write on sdcard. It should help out with the cause, when and solution to get your picture back. I am mobile so I can't link it for you, sorry.
Hey acrobat69,
Did you try importing the pictures using Motorola Media Link? If you are sure that the pic still exists on the sd card and you did not see the error message "Low system memory" (which is when pictures generally do not save) you should try importing pics with the media link. Or, if you think you have deleted the pic accidentally or something of that scenario,try "Recuva" for windows, restores pics from sd cards, if deleted accidentally. Hope you find the pic!

Try downloading QuickPic from the market too. I use it as my gallery. In fact I have completely deleted my gallery.apk. QuickPic will scan your entire card for media files as long as there isn't a .nomedia file blocking it. Might be easier to find out where it is being held, if at all.
Much thanks to everyone who has tried to help in this thread, some really good tips, all of which Ive tried, including Recuva.
Woodrube I did the thumbnail thing and although I gained back two other pics I previously couldn't see, alas neither of them was the one I needed.
I did notice that there were more than 2 thumbnaildata files as you described..one was big like 400+kb and the other two were identical sized, 4kb. The two at the top were time stamped right about the time that I know I took the lost shot, and the third 4kb was located down towards the bottom, with a time stamp of just 2 minutes before the other two. I deleted all 3, but now I'm wondering if maybe I goofed there. Actually..just typing that out sounds like I did goof, majorly.
Maybe I'll try and recuver that third thumbnaildata file and unmount remount..damn hope I didn't screw it up
ETA: I did use Recuva and returned the 3rd file I was nervous about. It was actually called image_last_thumb and I guess I deleted it because it looked sinister being at about the same time stamp of my "issue" and also because I was working on this at 3 am and not thinking straight. At any rate, no change even once I returned it to it's proper spot. My image is lost, I think.
On the upside, I too have to recommend QuickPic. Really like the speed of it and it seems to be more stable, so far. Thanks Woodrube!
Q Pic not in gallery so where is it
None of the above, Kenny. In fact, your dash work is exactly the kind of thing we want to highlight in the Gallery.
<snivelling excuse>Weve been working hard on a new release, and support, and the Gallery has not been getting any love. </snivelling excuse>
Please email a link to your clip, and Ill get it into the list for the next Gallery update.
I got my LG G3 a week ago the same day I upgraded it from KitKat to Lollipop 5.0.1 AT&T directly its factory programed no root. But I've been having frequent issues with taking pictures after I take the photo the thumbnail the picture seems great but when I open it about 80% of the image its just white like its been cut away, and the other issue is that it wont open most of the pictures that I take with it like they were corrupted take note that yesterday when I took them I could go to album and view them just fine. Any other picture that I download or copy from my memory card works with any app. I am currently using Google Camera to take the pictures but am still having trouble to open them.
Everything else work flawlessly
Corrupt pics
I started having that same issue when I save my pics to memory card figured my newer expensive card had become corrupt somehow. Doesn't seem to happen now that I switched back to saving to phone memory. FYI using regular camera app that phone came with.
WORLD you lite me to send you the lollipop camera app thru dropbox & you can try and copy over it?

Hi guys,
I have started editing videos using adobe premiere pro 2018 for instagram story's as a learning curve ( 15 secs) . When i synced the files to my phone and tried to upload them using the camera roll it would just loop the posting stage and not move forward. Here are my troubleshooting steps : I have narrowed it down to Samsung but i cant find what the last puzzle is to resolve it.
1. TO exclude the length of the video i made it 14 seconds long , issue persisted
2. I changed the size to 2 mbs , issue persisted
3. I decided to sync the file over using either dropbox, google drive, or just plain and simply copy over using the cable which had the same result.
4. I tried my other 2 accounts.
5. I deleted the cache,cleared everything , same result
6. I resintalled the app, same result
7. I took the app out power saving and made sure its excluded, same result
8. I gave it all the permisions in the world, same result
Here is where i had some brake through , if i edit the video on my phone using another app like instashot ( in this case just re editing it to 1080p) then the resulted video even though it will be twice the size ( 16 mb) has no problems being uploaded.I have a second one plus one so i synced again my orignal story to the phone using google drive and checked if i could upload to the story for the same account. It worked .
I know now that the video is not the problem because the same 15 second story works on OPO. I know also the sync is not the problem . It has to do something either with instagram for S8+ or maybe the way files are being saved on it.I dont exactly know and would appreciate any insight on this< i looked on youtube and so on and found that a few people have the same issue but no one found the solution to this.
I renamed the file, tried to upload and same problem. I copied the file - same problem , i checked the dimensions of the output file through movie editor (Samsung S8+) which were 720 x 720 , tried to do the same on adobe premiere and same result.
I dont know what to do next.... its fun but also anoying .
Please help
Thank you
Got these questions if anyone can answer or even facing themselves please
Slow in loading the gallery - scrolling through the list and the pictures load pixellated and take some time to load and sometimes the thumbnails wont even come up
Edited a video of 39 secs (90mb) to 14 secs (108mb) - WTF?? I took a video with P7P which was 39 seconds and the size was 90MB. Then I edited the video cut it to 14 seconds and now the size of the video shows up as 108MB
Sometimes the double tap to wake doesn’t work
Video - zoom switching is laggy [This is known issue across the OEM]
Call quality is weird and screwed up for half of the calls I am making
Battery is not that great (How to check SOT?)
Inability to organise apps into folders in the Apps screen. OR to sort them etc: I miss this on Samsung devices etc, cant even sort them.....WHYYY?
Sometimes when I press TALK button on my Subaru and ask “Call a person” it doesn’t work - Android auto is really finicky
Gallery/Photos app: So I organise photos into folders. And I moved my photos from one device to P7P and I put all the folders into the DCIM folder. Now when I open the Photos app all these photos are shown under Camera

Are you running the stable Android 13 or the QPR beta ? The latter solved many of the mentionned bugs.

You need to create a folder outside of DCIM for them to show as individual folders in the gallery.

Oh yeah thought of that too! But I got like 20 folders lol, I know I wont often look at the "Files" but yeah something to try. Also there is a folder called PICTURES and my folders were there before and I moved them to DCIM because when I am trying to share something to Instagram I cant see those folders on the IG app. That was the main reason behind the idea to move these folders into DCIM.
But I will try and move these folders outside of DCIM (but wont put them inside Pictures folder). Thanks mate!

It's not present in my case - (QPR 3.1 November). My it's the issue with mixed pictures from your own reposity and Google Photos / taken pictures by 7Pro?
Edited a video of 39 secs (90mb) to 14 secs (108mb) - WTF?? I took a video with P7P which was 39 seconds and the size was 90MB. Then I edited the video cut it to 14 seconds and now the size of the video shows up as 108MB
No idea - maybe it's trying to save in better quality that it already is?

Got similar problem - especially when Face Unlock with option to skip lockscreen is enabled.

Can't complain. Mine are loud and clear - even with loud speaker.
Battery is not that great (How to check SOT?)
It's been good for me - 8,5 hrs SOT with approx. 35-40 hrs of standby. Both on stable 13 and QPR (2, 3 and now on 3,1 looks similar)
Inability to organise apps into folders in the Apps screen. OR to sort them etc: I miss this on Samsung devices etc, cant even sort them.....WHYYY?
I don't use folders, but agree - pixel launcher is ****ty as f*ck. I use Nova Launcher most of the time - folders do work there.

No opinion.
Gallery/Photos app: So I organise photos into folders. And I moved my photos from one device to P7P and I put all the folders into the DCIM folder. Now when I open the Photos app all these photos are shown under Camera
Why not backed up in Google Photos cloud? It works great for me - sync between devices, web etc.
after the last update (today 8november) i noticed something that could be a new bug (i hope): in the stock camera app i use the level to measure the tilt. it worked great but after the update that level is tilted about 3-4°: i.e. i was taking a photo of the horizon on the sea (leveled through the grid) and the level measure 3 or 4° of tilt
I probably have nowhere near the amount of photos as you, and based on what I read, I'm guessing they're local photos, but the gallery thing could be solved by just getting a new gallery app rather than Photos. QuickPic was the go-to back in the day before they sold to another company. When that happened, I found Piktures to be a fast and pretty alternative. There might've also been a modded QuickPic app on XDA. Not sure on that since I just use Photos.
Battery and call quality, I can't complain. Battery is all dependent on the user, so there's always that.
Sometimes the double tap to wake doesn’t work
Now this here works flawlessly with out a case, but I found it easier to double tap near the camera bar. It seems to activate more when it's up higher.

Yeah My gallery consists of photos taken by Samsung, Apple and this phone too. Even in the beta its all pixellated.
Also I found another issue with IG app when I am trying to upload videos to my feed. Selecting multiple photos option and selecting pictures works fine, but videos wont get selected. These videos are taken through the phone too. Support team says to update the app but still the same. Cleared cache, re-installed and done everything, but still the same.
