Hello good people of XDA, please help
.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, Android 8.1, not rooted.
Issue is present maybe half the time I use the device, the other half everything works fine.
Symptoms:
After taking photo with oem camera app, there is a circle spinning around thumbnail and then the thumbnail is empty and sometimes camera crashes without error message. Most of the time the first picture I take is saved and appears in gallery minutes later, the other I take after few seconds are lost. Changing storage to external SD doesnt help.
When trying to download app from store, there is no response from Install button or Google Play crashes like camera. In better case "Download pending"
When trying to copy files from internal memory to SD file manager crashes after few hundred MBs.
Google Photos can't edit, no response from Edit button.
BUT - When I tried to test by SD Card tester it writes data fine, cca 200 MB/s.
Tried:
Delete all camera data.
Factory reset.
Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

I've searched for this here and Google and can't find anything similiar. Two days ago I tried to use the camera to take a pic and the phone locked up. The rotating "working" ring icon just went on forever. Reset the phone, and tried again, same result. I changed the image size to the smallest and it would take a pic, and the preview looked fine, but the image itself when viewed was a scrambled mess of green and purple. Kept messing around with it and it and discovered that ONLY pictures are affected. Contact pics are fine, burst mode fine, panorama fine. Even video is no problem. The preview in album is even okay. Took a couple of samples off the phone and viewed them on my PC and they were either the same corrupt image, or wouldn't open and I got an error saying "Invalid JPEG file structure: two SOF markers". I'd figure I screwed something up, but I have changed absolutely nothing about the phone in weeks. Thanks for any help you can provide, I greatly appreciate it!
try another memory card, or back up all the files on your current card and format it.
chances are your memory card is corrupted.
I've tried saving the images to the phone memory and get the same results. Also why would it only affect the full picture jpegs, and not the contact pic jpeg? I'm stumped. I've got another memory card at home, I'll try that and see what happens. Thanks!
If youre getting the same issues on your phone memory, you might need to update/reflash your phone.
If the problem happens even after that, look into Task29: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670358
Of course try the simplest fix first (different memory card) and then try these other solutions.
Are you using Advance Config? If so, or even if not, check under the camera settings and see if "encode portrait" is enabled. That seems to lock up our devices similar to how you describe it.
I tried the spare card last night and no change. I then tried SDreamer's suggestion and instant fix. Thank you sir! I really really appreciate all y'alls help.
I've been having an issue where all of a sudden my internal memory is filled and I can't open a lot of programs due to low memory. And my gallery and music will be filled with blank duplicates of all my pics and music from my sd card onto my internal storage. All's I have to do is reformat my usb storage and it wipes it all out. That' seemed to be the fix for a while. But now, when I open my camera, it freezes up for a few minutes, and once the camera finally does start to work, is when the all the files are duplicated back into my memory. Anybody have a solution for this?

That's cm's overlay fix for cameras. You've just described every issue that it has at the moment. Which ROM are you on?

I'm not sure about which Rom. Its stock running 4.0.4 if that helps. Otherwise how do I find that? So does that mean there's a fix for it?
I'm running the latest Sultan rom and the latest xposed. Just noticed that my camera apps record video just fine, but no photos are recorded. The apps start normally and act like everything is ok, but after taking a photo (which acts normal), no file is saved. Seems like they're trying to save a file--the back button won't close the apps like usual. There are no error messages, except for Dcam, which says, after a second press of the shutter button, 'Picture taking has failed. What a terrible failure!!'
I've tried clearing caches and rebooting. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Make sure there's a space of around 2gb left in storage,sometimes it happens because of not enough space in system.
35 gb free. Thanks.
Ok, stray bytes I guess. I wiped system and caches and reinstalled rom and gapps and things are normal again.
This has happened several times since my last post. In every case, reinstalling or updating the rom and gapps restores the functionality of the camera (it happens with all camera apps I have). In time, photos stop saving, videos are always ok. Just like my original post. If anyone has any ideas I'd sure appreciate it.
Hello, recently I've got u11 life (androidone version) with android 8. Nearly everythings works fine (once return button and recently apps button stopped to work), but i have discovered a bug where I can't save any pictures, screenshots etc. My phone gives me an error which says something like "insufficient storage", yet I have like 20gb of empty space. I can download and install, update apps normally, even downloding music, videos, pictures works. Any idea what may cause this? Or what to do, to fix it?
I am having a strange issue from time to time, where the camera flashes to take a photo, and the photo shows up on the little thumbnail in the bottom left.
However, when I open the gallery, it turns out the photos didn't save, and they're not in the phone's internal storage. When I restart my phone, it starts saving again.
This is, of course incredibly frustrating, as I've lost some important photos that I thought were saved, including a recent holiday.
Has anyone had this happen? Is there a solution? Would using a third party camera app help?
Edit: I'm not using an SD card. Just internal storage.

Seems it hasn't storage permission or something is breaking that. Are you completely stock?
Backup your data, do a factory reset and install app one by one, to see if any app is breaking that.
That's very weird
