Was taking a video with the camera app supplied with CM7 ZMOD and while I was shooting I pressed the change white balance button and the camera app crashed, asking me to force close or wait, I hit force close and went back into the app.
Turns out I lost the 8mins of footage. Would it be possible to retrieve this footage from a cache folder somewhere?
It's probably possible to get the data but that rom uses hardware video encoding and would most likely be unusable because the encoding never completed.
fair enough then, thanks.

I lost multiple small videos of my daughter yesterday learning to ride without training wheels for the first time yesterday because it was the first time I'd used the video/camcorder and it was in bright light and I didn't see a Save button. My old phone, my wifes SGS2, etc, you just start video, and when you stop, it's done. No "saving" required.
I was basically helping her off, pulling out the Note, unlock, camera->video, record until she stopped, then I'd stop recording and hit back to go back to the home screen so the camera wasn't "running" in my pocket. Each time i did this, I threw away the recording.
Anyone know a setting or something, or maybe an alternative app that doesn't do this? I know now, but it's still really aggravating.
I just tried it and it works for me. When recording...i click the back button and it auto saved. Try resetting your cam settings.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

wtf? This is the stock ROM, I haven't fiddled with anything, and it's the first time I used the video camera at all.. Meeehhh...
No problem here either - stock rom, I've made multiple recordings.

Damnit, I figured it out. I use Camera Zoom, which launches the built-in Camcorder app. Or at least it looks the same, not 100% sure. If I do it that way, I have to hit save or it tosses it.
If I launch the stock Camera app and switch to video, and do the same thing with record, stop, I see NO save button, and just hitting back I found the video in the gallery.
Damnit Camera Zoom.
So yesterday was taking a lot of photos on a day out, using the Google Camera app .. funny thing was happening though; often would switch to the camera but the Capture button was 'grayed out' and had to quit it and re-enter to get it to work. Afterwards realised a lot of the photos I took were not there .. Figured that what was happening was, I would take the photo, press home button or power off and it evidently had not finished saving, or as HDR was on, doing the processing. Never seen this before but maybe just a freak one off or to do with the updated Camera app released recently. But my question is; is there any temporary directory files might have been saved to before doing the HDR stuff nad saving to gallery, or I guess maybe that is all done in memory and I am out of luck?

viewing photo from Samsung stock camera is extremely slow,often took more then 2 sec to actually load the image (only allowed to use galaxy gallery app)
When I download Google camera, viewing image by swiping left display the image instantly and smoothly (using google+ photo app)
I want to keep using the Samsung stock camera because it's so much better then google camera, but viewing photo through camera app is insane painful
any solution?
I got the same problem. They literally take some time to load each picture. Would have though that they would open faster with the new internal flash memory as the read and write speeds were supposed to be quite fast. They said they were the fastest on the market today but obviously this is not the case when load times of each picture is 1-2 seconds.
You've said by your own.
The stock camera is much better than google camera and it has a very good quality and that means it's need more time in processing because it's better.

I don't think that is the true reason for slow load
because once u load the first image, the following 100 image will scroll smoothly
if you saying the first image need more time to load because the picture was just recently taken,
then it should instantly load if I patiently wait for few seconds after photo taken allowing time for image to save, which is not the case, the gallery still require seconds to load the first image despite waiting
this proves that it is the gallery/camera app problem instead of image quality or anything

anyone know how to reduce delay when opening samsung gallery app through camera?
or even better, change the default gallery app load through camera to quickpic ?
I tried almost all famous third party camera app, all of them are pretty bad in terms of speed and function
I don't have this problem. Mine loads quickly even if I completely quit the camera app take a picture then look at it. Believe me I know how bad it was with their previous flagship I had the Note 3 but I commend them for this.
Bump... Anyone found a solution to this? Aggravating when you want to see a picture you've taken, and it takes 10 seconds to load.... The old solution of removing 'other sources' from the Gallery app isn't possible anymore, as Samsung have removed any concept of settings from the Gallery app. Annoying!!
I'm believing I picked up a defective V10 this afternoon.
Simply, upon opening the camera app, there's a pause, and it force closes. If I quickly to the front camera button before the crash, it will indeed show me live view and take photos. Switching back to the rear results in an instant FC.
Already did a few factory resets, and cleared the cameras data/cache after this latest attempt.
Any thoughts?
Return it tomorrow. Definitely defective. I got the V10 release day and have yet to see a fc
Hello,
This issue seems to have appeared recently on my device, without any particular explanation. It can be potentially be related to Photo Analyzer being disabled from the apps, but that is supposed to increase speed, not introduce lag.
The issue is that my image preview has very low fps in both Superior Auto and Manual modes. What's hilarious is that when I switch to Video mode - the lag disappears and the preview is quite smooth. Not perfect, but acceptable, and just like my photo previews used to perform in the past.
Furthermore, this lag appears only when I move the camera. If I stop moving, the next following seconds there is no lag. The lag appears once the camera detects movement. Then the little stick man walking icon appears in the lower right section of the screen, which seems to be related to the appearance of the lag.
I've tried resolving this via options, by stopping the extra settings like HDR, reducing the resolution to 8MP and clearing the camera app cache. Nothing has really helped so far and the issue is quite strange.
Any ideas on why this might occur and how to solve it? Having a Sony phone is probably the best thing for people who like to investigate problems on a daily basis. :silly:
EDIT: Just wanted to let you know, using other 3rd party apps results in no lag whatsoever. Open Camera seems to be working perfectly fine (except not detecting 20MP reso for photos for some reason).
Overall, there seems to be a problem with the specific Sony camera that I have not been able to resolve yet.
Hey, just wanted to add that clearing data from the Camera app settings resolved this issue. After doing it and re-launching the app, it no longer lags when watching the preview. This seems to be the only solution that helped me. I can speculate that disabling the Photo Analyzer did something, and clearing data resolved it. Disabling Photo Analyzer should definitely speed up the time between taking photos. Photo analyzer eats up some resources by trying to detect faces and locations, then relate them to your contacts so that photos can be sorted by the people in them. If you do not need this, disable it and clear your camera data and cache. Time between taking photos now is not instant, but is definitely significantly faster. Also, the camera app itself opens up very fast, almost instantly, INCLUDING when I activate it from the button when the phone is sleeping.
