Camera not working! - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Camera keeps force closing? Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
x10i 2.3.3 rooted.

Anyone?
x10i 2.3.3 rooted.

what i done earlier was remove everything from the DCIM folder to my computer and renamed them so i can have more space so the 100ANDRO folder was empty and I believe that caused the camera to force close.. So I put a one picture back with a renamed file name and the camera works no force closing and then I removed the picture from the folder and it forced closed again? No media perhaps? Maybe the camera is looking in the camera folder for files and when it does not detect anything it crashes because with only 1 picture on the folder it works properly. Is this normal?

The x10 needs that folder to function. If you want the camera, leave the folder there. That is normal behavior for what happened when you moved the folder away from the camera.

So tell me this, when you take a picture with the camera, does the picture get saved and can you find the saved photo?

Yes.. but if I take the saved pic say to save it on my pc and leave the folder empty, then it force closes.

You probably have to flash back stock firmware to fix the issue. There are plenty of threads on that. Or just take a weird pic and leave that in the picture folder to keep the camera stable.

After latest update photos deleted.

After the latest update on my phone (multi-touch) I am missing photos from my SDcard. Anybody know why?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Afaik the update should not have messed with SD card files unless there were some stored on the phone itself maybe?

Same like me, after update 2.1 update-1, I lost my few picture on sd card

Are you sure that they're not just in another folder and you've "misplaced" the folder? the fw update won't touch your SD card.
I had several pics vanish after I initially updated to 2.1. I never really thought much about it at the time, and it's never happened since.

100% sure. every folder had pictures deleted from it, some more than others. And stupid me I didn't back them up because I thought no way the SDcard will get touched. That'll learn me. :-(

My pictures are all still under /sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO
I actually thought that I had deleted it myself... but you are right... they have disappeared..
I was going to open a thread about this same curious issue. Yeah, it happened to me after updating to .435 by flashing. I lost some pics from DCIM/100ANDRO and /Picture Folders, both of course in the SD card.
Yup, happened to me too. Not very impressed.

It has happened to me too, but I suspected JustPictures and not a FW update - because it used to happen to me at random.
Hasn't happened now for a while tho.
Hmm, I hadn't lost any pictures. But I certainly gained pictures after the update. It;s rather annoying too. It's picking up any picture type file on my card, including anything in game, apps folders etc. It never did this before.
Ya guyz. I too lost around 150 photos from camera pics folder nd other folders in my sd card..
seem to have found out that the problem in face recognition service
remove it and format SD card for protection against loss of pictures
Ditto. Most recovered with R-Studio.

Gallery problem in CM10

Hey guys, I'm having issues with the gallery in epinter's CM10 rom. I've done some searching and it seems like other people's is working but everytime i open it up it shows no pictures. I've cleared its settings and cache but it still shows nothing. The only reason this bothers me is because it appears that Google+ won't instant upload pictures unless they show up in there. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using the 8-11 release but it gave me the same issues in the release before that. Also, I'm using internal storage with no sd card if that matters.

Just download quickpic.
I've been using quickpic for several months now, but Google+ uses the gallery app (from what i can tell) to share pictures and detect new pictures for instant upload.

I'm having same issue. Also no music. Tried moving files to external and back, format both cards. Nothing I've tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
MB860 Peace
I have this occasionally, but don't use G+ so it doesn't really bother me as quickpic always works. But to help with the question, I thought I read that when the Media Service is running, things like the Gallery, Maps, and a few other google apps (that use the service) might act like they're hanging, but it's because one of them is using the service. You could try force closing it, or let it finish on its own. Also, try clearing the cache on the media service/gallery/camera/maps. On occasion when the camera stops working on me if I kill the service it sometimes then starts working. This might not be the best option, but something to try.
im having the same problem... apollo dont recognize any music someone can help?
Well my camera has always been laggy on all 4.0+ roms even though some people say it works for them. Anyways, I tried clearing the data and reseting maps/gallery/camera but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the media service is actually just borked and I've been misinterpreting what other people have said.

Look for and delete a file named .nomedia from the base of which ever card you have these images or music on. I heard that this was something a ROM Manager update did.

I had the same issues with my pics and music. Looks like you've chosen reboot option from power off menu. For some reason after reboot pics and audio can't be recognized. Try to power off your atrix and trurn it on after few sec, this worked for me, hope will help you too.
Didn't work. Thanks anyway
MB860 Peace
Well I kinda figured out what's going on with the Gallery. It appears that a media scan won't show media already existing on the device. However, if you take a picture it will show the new pic in the gallery correctly. I've also verified that I have no .nomedia files.
I'm guessing that when a photo is taken it explicitly adds an entry to the media table, but there is a problem when a full scan is triggered which makes the gallery blank.

I think I know what your problem is as I just encountered the problem myself. Go to the root directory of where you store all your media and look for something that says .nomedia Move or delete it out of the directory. All my media showed up again after moving it.

It's not a solution per-se, but use quickpic.
The gallery app is rather terrible in pre HC roms.
That's a very common issue with gallery on all pre HC roms
Did you try to format SD card?
maybe SD card fault.
or you can use Quickpic to view the gallery. into setting to choose image's local :good:
I also had the same problem, after checking the forums i found two options, one is to delete the .nomedia file in the SDcard and also deleting the .tumbnails folder from the DCIM folder. Then the .tumbnail folder is recreated and the pics show up in the gallery.
Thanks guys after deleting the nomedia files everything is fine now.but why its created? I mean nyway to stop the creatipn of this files?

They shouldnt be automatically created normally, could be a bug in one of your apps that did it.
It's usually a good idea to have .nomedia's in folders that shouldnt be scanned as it speeds up scans (by skipping the folder), but obviously you dont want it in folders that have stuff you want to be listed.
Kakagi what a coincidence i also faced the same problem 2day only......thanks to every1 for helping us out.....i wil try deleting dat file....

Rom Manager application adds this file .nomedia after awhile. I found this info in net. It is bug of this app.

[Q] trying to retrieve a deleted pic

Is this possible?
I've deleted a photo by accident, and i need it back, it's still being used as a contact picture, so it's in the phone somewhere, , any ideas if I can get it back?
I solved this problem by taking screenshot of the contact and cropping image.

I had this same issue. Except, I did not delete the original gallery. I downloaded the ICS camera and ICS gallery from the play Store and haven't used the camera and gallery from the ROM. Works like a top.

I would SBF to to start fresh and play it safe. Flash your ROM and wipe your cache files. Then download your camera and gallery. Don't go deleting anything.
Also with your file browser, i.e. Root Explorer , look where your pics are stored and make sure they are still there.

If I am understanding this right, you currently have a working camera and a working gallery, correct? If this is the case, are you able to get to ANY gallery from the camera app? If so, and you are just wanting to change the gallery app it opens, then you need to go into your phone settings and select apps. Scroll to whatever gallery app it is currently opening and select it. Then tap on the button that says "clear defaults". After that, go into your camera and open the gallery from there. It should pop up with what app you want to open. Select the gallery you want and then tap "Always".
Thats the best I can do with what you are giving us. If nothing works, do like Tally says again and SBF and start over.
I think what he is saying is: The gallery preview, or last pic taken, in the bottom corner of the screen- when you click on it from the camera view....nothing happens or it comes up a blank gallery.
That's what my X2 was doing.

If thats the case, maybe its the app he is using. He said hes using Gallery ICS. I dont think thats the same as Camera ICS which I think is a direct port from the AOSP camera.
Casper, I dont know how advanced you are with this but you can also open up the zip of whatever ROM you are using and take the original gallery.apk and place it in system/app/ and change permissions to rw-r-rr-- then reboot
You shouldn't have deleted the original gallery so you have two choices 1fix in Rom zip very technical but not that hard with a little searching and research 2sbf ad the ics gallery then either freeze the other app or try to remove just make sure you nano before doing anything
don't be scared it's only a phone
