Camera Zoom FX error (light blue screen)

So does anybody has had this error on their phone? Sometimes when I want to take a pic it shows a light blue/cyan screen error, and the picture doesn't get taken. The error says:
Failed to save photo to SD card (error code=2)
The following are fixes for this error:
- make sure your SD card is inserted
- remove the SD card and re-insert, then launch Camera ZOOM FX again
- reboot and try again
If this problem continues, please mail [email protected]
Somebody knows what is going on?
Thanks.

I'm using the same app, but haven't had any problems since switching to a Class 4 SD card (due to the known issue w/Class 10 cards on this device). Can't seem to use video with it though, every time I try to switch to video it force closes.

The weird thing is that if I do a factory reset, then it works fine, but as soon as I begin to install some apps and play around, then it happens again.

Somebody else has another input?

I was having the same issue I also did a Factory Reset then pulled the battery over night and have not had the issue since not sure if it was just a glitch or what.

I just downloaded Camera Zoom FX and got the same thin I took out my sd card and tried the app again, same response. I bought a 16mb class 6 sd card at the suggestion from here on what would work. The camera is a disappointment with the stock app, hope I can get FX working.

So far no problems with Camera Zoom FX.
OS versions 2.3.5 or 2.3.6.
SDcard is a Sandisk 16G class 6

Any news nahuelarg86 on your situation

I had the same problem with this app. The standard camera app would appear to save the pictures but when you would go into MyGallery, no picture would be there although you wouldn't get an error message like CameraFX. I found this information somewhere else, but if I went and looked at the dcim directory on the sdcard there would be corrupt files in the Camera subdirectory. Deleting these files would then allow pictures to be saved. I was using a class 10 sd card, but switching to class 4 didn't fix the issue. I did the OTA update to 2.3.6 hoping this would correct the issue. This made things worse regarding the camera apps. Every picture file for news pics appeared to be corrupt. I then did a factory reset to 2.3.6 and I haven't had a problem with the camera apps since.

Well, I did a factory reset and I didn't have the problem again. But, I began to download some apps and play around and then I got it again... I deleted all the apps that I installed last time in hope that it would help, and it did. For me it's a pain in the a$$ to do factory resets because of the setting up, re installing of thing, etc.
I still don't know where the problem might be. Seems like it's related to space or the resources an app uses, but I know of the problems of SD cards and everything is stored in the phone's memory. So I have no idea...

I know this thread is old, but it was the first hit on google, so maybe someone else will need the solution: Most of the times the save feature on external sd card is corrupted because of rom change. Backup your data of your external sd on your PC. Then go in android under settings < "space" (Speicher auf deutsch) and format the external sd card. Afterwards you should be able again to save your pictures on your external sd card, because the card is now perfectly formatted to your rom....

[Q] SD card detection

Hi!
I've got a Sensation XE with this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 (the 2013-01-09 version)
I had never problems until a few days ago: My SD card isn't detected well. If I start-up my phone everything works fine, but after a while (I still haven't figured out how long or after opening which app) my SD card isn't accessible well.
- When I go to the stock photo gallery app I see only black thumbnails. When I open a photo it takes a while to load.
- When I'd like to take a picture, the camera app says that there isn't a SD card
- When I receive a photo on Whatsapp messenger it couldn't be saved
- When I go to ES File Explorer I can browse the SD card, no problems!
- When I go to storage settings I see the SD card with the calculations of GB's for apps, photo's, etc...
So each time (multiple times a day!) this happens I reboot my phone.
Any ideas?

Hi
greetings,
boot into recovery and wipe dalvick cache.
if this does not help
flash the same ROM again without wipe it will not delete the data

Just wiped it, I hope it works! Now waiting until it might happen...:angel:

Sounds like it's a slow (or bad) sd card, what class is it?

Sadly it didn't help
I've got a 16GB class 10 SD card from the brand Mustang: http://www.mustang-flash.de/Product...verstone Class10, Retail|SD16GTFCL10MU-R.html
And, if it works for a moment and I take a picture and go to my gallery the picture is black... Do you think my SD card is damaged? How can I test it?

I used to have this EXACT problem that you described, sadly I could never find the cause for it, it no longer occurs. (And I have a good brand SD - Verbatim)

Formatting didn't worked well... Just used SD Formatter: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and now it's accessible. Now coping everything back... I hope it works!

After trying a lot I've formatted my SD card in the 4EXT recovery, copied everything back en now it's working!

G+ auto-backup not working - can't manually upload either

If this is the wrong forum please direct me to the correct one.
I recently did a fresh install of SlimKat 5.4 on my I9100, and Google+'s Auto-Backup isn't working.
Even if I manually select photos in the Gallery and 'share' to 'Photos' (whereupon it attempts to upload them to my G+ account) it simply does nothing.
What is going on here? Does anybody have any suggestions? Additionally, when I open the Photos app, it lists all the images on my device and they can be opened, but they are completely black, as if it's having trouble reading them properly.

Ok, I know partially why now - I'm also having a problem whereby I can't see any SD Card image folders when I open Gallery. They exist and I can navigate to them via Explorer, but Gallery can't access them - nor can Photos. I've tried clearing Gallery's cache but that won't fix it.
What could be causing this? I also tried re-seating the SD Card in case it was physically loose.
Whan can I do??

Ok, so I've also tried: formatting the SD card, tried a new SD card, and neither of those things made any difference.
There must be a simple reason for this?
Has nobody had this happen before?

Additionally, Google Music doesn't display any music files, and sometimes when I navigate to the SD card in Root Explorer, the rom freezes.
So it sounds like it's a problem with the SD card port, or perhaps the ROM itself has problems. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the SD card port though, it was fine before I upgraded to Slimkat 5.4.....

Xperia Z3 DELETED ALL MY SD CARD PICTURES

My stupid phone deleted ALL of my pictures on my SD Card. Have no idea how exactly. Yesterday I swapped my SIM card and when I went to use the camera, it gave me an error saving to the SD Card. And then next thing I know, every picture was deleted. And most messed up thing is that all my music stayed, but pics were gone.
Thankfully I back up all my pics to Google Photos, but it's going to be a pain downloading everything again...
Anyone else experience this problem??? Would like to prevent it if possible.

If you have the latest OS update (5.0.2) when you restart your phone the SD card is seen as a folder instead of partition. I have the same issue. Just take out and put back the SD card with the screen on and this will solve this bug. At least this works for me...

Why do you think the pictures are deleted? What app do you use to see the pictures? Have you taken the sd card out and looked at the contents on another device?

I'm not experiencing the problem with the deleted photos. I'm having that problem with camera saying no sd card inserted... What happened to you is very odd :| Are you sure that your photos were gone? Did you tried to put the SD card into another device to see if they are there?
EDIT: I restarted my phone 1 minute ago but the SD card bug seems to be gone :| There is something strangr with the Android 5 . If I'm experiencing the same issue again I will tell you

[Q] Camera not able to save pictures on external SD

Hi all.
Since a couple of days I've noticed that the Sony Camera APP is not allowing me to save the pictures on the external SD Card.
Everytime I take a Picture, I get a small thumbnail with a orange circle around and if I tap on it, the image just dissapear.
This is pretty annoying as the same app asked me if I wanted to save the pictures to the SD card.
Any ideas?
I'm on latest available Custom Australian Rom rooted and with SD Write access enabled.
Thanks to all.

Did you manage to solve this? I'm experiencing a similar issue... Every time I configure the camera to use the external sd as its storage, after taking a picture, where its thumbnail should be shown, I only see a "waiting" signal and it never actually saves nothing...

did you try moving your dcim folder to SD card it has all you're pictures so be carefull. I did that six months ago and have wiped data literally 100 times since then
And it always asks me after a reset when I enter album if I want to change to SD i click yes and there has been no problems. This also is a good idea if you soft brick your phone alot like me as you won't lose your pics when doing a factory reset or flashtool.

It seem it was a problem with the SD... I replaced the SD and now works perfectly, though the previous SD is still working with other devices.
