hey guys! i got the skyrocket as a christmas present along with an otterbox case. i have this theory that otterbox cases make the phone pretty hard to break so we went to the park with a three-man water balloon slingshot and put my phone in it while recording. we shot it up and it landed in a pile of wood chips (around a tree). i picked up the perfectly fine phone and every works perfect except the camera.
i can take pictures/videos but when i press the preview box to see them, it says "No Items" but the weird thing is the amount of time i can video tape goes down.
it was saving to my sd card, but neither saving to my phone or sd card works. the gallery worked this morning (and i uploaded the video), but after a reset it doesn't work again.
a full phone wipe is NOT an option until i can back up my phone with my pictures which could be tomorrow morning
i can't post the video because i am too new to the form but after 8 posts maybe you guys could see it
I'm sorry, but that was a very stupid thing to do... just saying.
Now as for your problem. If it won't save, that's not a hardware issue. That's a software issue.
Have you tried viewing the photos/videos through the gallery app?

i know it was stupid, and i will never do it again, even though my phone is almost fine.
as for the gallery, here is how it goes. when i first went to gallery almost everything loaded, then i pressed back and reloaded and less and less appeared until only instagram photos, which continue to stay. this morning gallery and camera worked perfectly until i turned my phone off for a test
thanks for the quick reply and maybe a full reset would be the only answer
Yeah. That is definitely software. Very strange though...

Had this happen, unmounted the SD card and remounted and rebooted. Haven't had the problem since.
So you put your phone in a slingshot too?
I tired unmounting/remounting then reboot but it still doesn't work. Almost all my photos are on Dropbox so I think I will just do a titanium app backup then factory reset
No I wouldn't dream of putting it in a slingshot lolz. It also may be worth it to try another micro sd card if you have one. Could be a corrupt sd? There's a few fixes out there for this, just do a generic google search for the problem. Hope the factory reset works out for yah.

Does the computer mount the sd card when you plug it in usb...

Hello there,
I would like to know if some other users are having issues with tha pictures and video apps and what solutions if any. I received my nre Z3 and from the very first time I started tu use it I'm having serious issues. The issue is that everytime I turn on the phone's camera the phone turns very hot, it also constantly freezes out and the camera app crashes. It happens for pictures and for videos. I already own a Xperia Z1 device and know how to use the camera and settings and knoe that this is not normal. I tested the camera with the lower screen brightness possible and also with and external SD card with the same results. For worsen the situation, after being taking family pictures for the last 2 days, the pictures and videos started to become not accesible nor visibles. At the moment when the pictures were taken they were visible, but after a while, some of them can't be opened anymore. This firstly happened during the afternoon for some pictures taken during the morning, then later, 3 more. It has continued damaging pictures. Right now the device has did the same to 20 pictures and videos from nearly 50 taken. I rebooted the phone, restarted and also reset the phone and it is still showing the same bahavior. This phone has not been rooted and has been kept as it was when received. I never had these issues before with other phones. It is a D6603, running Kernel version 3.4.0-perf-g0961 cdf, build 23.0.A.2.93. Any fixes or suggestions? Is it real that this unit comes with factory unlocked bootloader? Could it be a software issue regardless hardware?
A couple of things in there immediately hinted me about your SD card, I mean not all your issues seems to be that but about the videos and photos been there and then don't is a symptom of a bad sd card.
Just to see what happens put another card, if you don't have it, just remove it and save everything to your internal storage and try a couple of videos and pictures again to see what happens and let us know.
I highly doubt it comes with an unlocked bootloader, but this does sound like a bad SD card. You could also try using a different camera app, although personally I don't think that will help much.

I tested with and without the use of an external sd card and I'm having the same issues. At least using the phone's internal memory I haven't lost any more pictures for now. I'll test during the day, but the phone's still getting very very hot and the camera freezes and app crashes.

That's exactly what I thought, and the reason I wanted to split your issues in 2, it's easy to relate one to the other and confused about it, but now that you know that are 2 separate things it's easier for you to approach it.
First, your SD card may be one of the thousands of fake 32 or 64 GB generic cards around (and even "Branded" ones, China is getting better by day on that department), they behave just like that, I just got another one of these last week, so don't waste any more time on it, it won't never pass from about 4GB of maximum storage, even when in your computer or phone it shows as a 32/64GB card it will allow storage for up to 4GB and then simply begins giving you all those issues.
About your phone getting warmer or hot while in the Camera App, this is an old issue with Sony Devices, it's more common on hot places like for us down here in the Caribbean, the first day I tried my D6633 it did that, I tried it a couple of times and the same, don't ask me how, but it got better, a lot better, to the point that hasn't happened to me again, only thing I did, as far as I can remember was using the Manual modes, and disabling the AR Effects and Fun Apps, the same 2 that while using them was the first time my phone got hot.
YMMV but it worth a try, obviously if you live in a hot weather place, using the 4k video feature will bring you the warning and it's normal that it will get warmer than when using regular features, but other than that, for me, not even a single occurrence after I disabled the AR stuff.
We all know that our Z3/Z3c has a bit of a delay in between taking photos (especially compared to phones from HTC, LG, Samsung, and even Apple), but has anyone else noticed the painfully long delay between when the record button is pressed and when the video actually starts recording? I've counted nearly 3-4 seconds before my recording starts and that's just ridiculous! I've missed crucial moments because of this delay. Is there anything that can be done? Is there anyone who does NOT have this issue?
3-4 seconds? Something sounds very wrong. I'm on the latest generic UK build (23.1.A.1.28) and my video recording starts almost as soon as I touch the button. The delay is certainly less than half a second. Doesn't matter whether I'm in iA, manual or 4K mode. I'm recording to a 64GB Sandisk class 10 micro-SD card. The camera has to set up a file on the storage before it can start recording. Are you recording to internal storage or some crappy SD card?

You bring up a great point about the SD card. I currently use a fairly nice sandisk class 10 with a 32+ MB/s read/write speed. No slouch by any means, but when I switched to internal storage, the delay decreased by about half a second, but still felt laggy. I'll see if I can get some video of the delay after work today.

Alright, here's a video showing the lag between pressing the start button and recording.

I use the same SD card as you but I haven't experienced that before. My delay is only about like less than a second or even less than that.

Thank you for the feedback - I think I feel better knowing that my situation isn't normal. I really don't want to factory reset my device, but I may do it to see if that helps any. Plus, I hear it will finally fix my Stamina Mode as well. I just need to find a weekend when I'm not busy to reload all of my apps and settings.

Well, I couldn't bare the thought of performing a full reset, so I just rooted the phone and reinstalled the OS over the existing data. I still get a full 3 second lag between pressing the record button and when the recording actually starts. Am I still the only one having this issue?
Just did complete wipe and re-installed 4.4.4. The delay is still there. Does Lollipop solve the problem?
Is everyone else's phone responding immediately? Is that why no one is chiming in? Does anyone with Lollipop have a delay, or does it record immediately?
Just upgraded to 5.1.1. Lollipop - the record function now loads faster than in KitKat. Shaved off about 1-2 seconds so now I won't miss out on spontaneous moments when trying to record a video.
I use open camera myself and keep all data to the internal for speed regardless of ap pictures or video.
Yeah, I tried third party apps before, but they couldn't quite match the picture quality of the stock app.

Using that setting to record video causes lag in app and sometimes crashes. The image on screen lags, is behind the hand movement during recording. The autofocus is very slow and at times just not working. When I press the stop button lags about 2 seconds before stopping.
Normal 1080p, qhd and uhd are OK, didn't try the lower ones.
I changed between SD card and device storage, same issue.
I cleaned the data and cache for the app, same issue.
Wiped the cache partition, same issue.
Only thing that remains to try is a factory reset.
I have an 32gb exynos s7, with Sony front camera. Made in Vietnam.
Anyone else has this problem ? Is this a known bug ?

huh weird. my snapdragon has bad frame skipping on 60fps mode.. like unbearable.

Frames skipped during playback or do you see it while recording?
Mine starts to act funky while recording, skips a few frames then the app crashes. Not allways, it's random.
How is your autofocus?

during both. playback looks worse.
also, yeah, i've noticed VERY slow focusing on certain video modes including this one. so this isnt a processor issue for once, it's just a samsung issue lol
Thanks for the input. I'm trying to find out if it's a bug for all or just a few bad devices. Until now I know we are 4 with this issue. I'm afraid to go again to all the stores in my area to check the on display units, they probably think I'm up to something

nearly same problem here.
some skipped frames and compared to 1080p30 much much longer focus time - sometimes it does not even tries to refocus.
Edit: Exynos Version from germany.
with Sony camera
Here is a video where you can see the behavior at this particular settings:
https://youtu.be/V5tf-LSA3-E
not mine, just found it on yt; last half is where is the most obvious.
I've noticed the focus issue on mine with the latest update. I've also noticed in the settings Tracking AF is not used on FHD 60 and up. (snapdragon, VZW)
Samsung response to focus problems of the S7 video in 60fps
I've asked Samsung (NL) for a response. First they've told me they will look into it, because the problem should not have been present on all devices.
Later they've added it's a hardware issue and can not be solved by a software update. So no solution: S7 has crappy 60 fps video so live with it.
Very dissapointing. 60fps is one of the features I've needed for recording. A big let down from Samsung.
I have a T-Mobile S8+ and its having problems that I can't seem to shake, and I will most likely have to return for a different one. My S8+ has been shutting off more than 6 times a day, randomly. Most of the times when I am not touching the phone at all. It could just be laying on my desk at work and just reboot for no reason. And no I do not have the auto restart option on, I double checked that. Also noticing that AOD sometimes doesnt come on at all, and no, nothing is covering the sensor to stop it from coming on. And the other issue I'm having is youtube. A few times I've gone on youtube to watch a video and 480p is the max resolution and thats on WIFI or Data, and I will go on my Iphone to the same video and it will be 1080p. So thats pretty disheartening with such a beautiful screen. And my last gripe is the SD Card. I have saved some of my apps to SD card, like I have on many of my other phones, and the app icons disappear and just show "SD CARD" as the icon for those apps, I've seen that before on other phones but it was only once in a blue. On this phone its almost every time I open the App drawer. I am using the 256GB Samsung SD Card that they have been giving on their pre orders for a while now. For being the newest phone Samsung offers, it shouldn't have all these problems that many of my older phones didn't experience with much lower specs. Back to the T-Mobile store!
It's an imperfect world we live in.

Try removing your SD card and check whether all your problems are solved. I think all your problems is related to the SD card.
YouTube videos issue try changing your resolution from settings/display and check if it's fixed.
If not just factory reset and check.
I believe you have restored or transferred everything from your old phone right.

I could remove my SD Card, but then alot of my apps wont work because they are saved to the SD Card. This is the same SD CARD, I've used from a Galaxy S7 Edge, LG V20, LG G6, and my original Galaxy S8+ that was returned due to the red tint issue, and every time I switch a phone I delete everything off of the card except the pictures. I also start every new phone fresh and never restore anything. This is the first time its caused this issue. So I dont believe its the SD Card, but I do believe the issue with the phone is something related to the SD CARD. I have other SD CARDS a 200GB class 10, but I of course would rather have 256GB which is also class 10. So I dont know, I will format the SD CARD when putting it in the new phone, and see if the problems persist. If they do, will swap for another SD CARD and then see if they still happen. And also the youtube videos after a while start to show up in 1080p but for some reason some start off 480p, not sure why when my old ipod gets full resolution everytime. Maybe its a youtube issue. Thanks for the suggestions.
