[Q] help with a fix - warning camera failed! - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my camera, whenever I use it show the image on display, but after I take a picture, the screen turns black and gives me the message-warning camera failed, but I can view the pic in DCIM folder on memory card! But when I try launch the camera app again it gives me the same error message-"camera failed"i sometimes restart my device and it does the same after taking a snapshot! I've tried all other camera apks but still can't fix the problem! Can anyone help! I use a samsung galaxy i5500 froyo!

Try going to settings>applications>manage applications>click the 'all' tab, scroll to the camera app and click on it. Then click 'clear data'. See if that helps

Gallery Slideshow

Anyone able to get the slideshow to work from your gallery? Mine tells me I need to choose at least two photos, lets me select them, then freezes. Anyone able to get it to work?
TIA
As long as you have photos in the gallery it should work. I've had at least 4 or 5 and I hit the slide show button it pops up and says display in Landscape and I normally click the box and it runs.
mine runs here no problems at all.

Handcent + Quickpic

Quick question, i use handcent for messages and usually use quickpic for any gallery type features. Both are working fine as normal except if someone sends me a picture message. I can see the message fine within handcent but if i touch it to enlarge and want to use quickpic to see it i get a message in red saying load failed. If i touch the pic in handcent and use normal gallery to open it it does so fine. If i then save the picture and open quickpic normally the pic will load fine. Its just quickpic doesnt seem to work with handcent on this phone.
Anyone else using both apps and having any trouble? Its been fine using them both on my desire hd and my GS2. Just not on this phone.
Same thing happens on my wife's phone using those same 2 apps. Never did that on her old rezound phone. Any solution yet?

Hoping someone knows?
I have the S4 and although Handcent comes up as an option to view pics and vids, my phone always default to
the stock Gallery. If I disable Gallery, nothing opens.

Go to App Manager > Gallery instead of disabling it try clearing Gallery Defaults then when you try to display a picture in messaging you should get the various options to choose from

Darn! I thought, you had it!! Since I've never chosen the Gallery as my Default, the option to Clear was grayed out.
Thanks for a good thought!
I can't figure if it's a phone compatibility or Handcent but, I've always used QuickPic with Handcent.
Mainly, I like the auto Full brightness setting QuickPic offers.

Camera app opens to Gallery

I'm running CM 10.1 nightly's (issue has persisted for the last few days) on my Telus Galaxy S III (AT&T variant).
Simply put, whenever I open my camera app, the gallery app opens. I see the camera UI for a second and then the Gallery pops up. This happens regardless of how I open the camera (from my home screen and the lock screen shortcut).
I can get back to camera by hitting the back button, pressing the camera icon in the upper right of the gallery or by sliding to the left in the filmstrip view.
I've tried clearing the data of the gallery app and restarting but with no luck.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

[Q] Changing the 'app type' or 'app action type'?

My current situation is that I have a phone with 2 camera apps on it, stock and camera FV-5.
Camera FV-5 is slower than the stock camera, so I only use it in situations which I need manual control.
Whenever I open whatsapp and try to send a photo, the app asks me which camera I want to use, with no option to always use stock. I don't want camera FV-5 to exist as an option, as I will open it if I want to use it.
Is there a way to remove an app from the list so that my phone does not recognise camera FV-5 as a camera?
Thanks
George

The problem with whatsapp is that there is no 'always' option when selecting an app.

my last solution, you have to disable(not uninstall) camera FV-5 from setting menu, if you running on android 4.0/up
from menu, choose setting>applications>camera FV-5, klik force stop then disable it, and you want to use it again, just enable it again, don't worry about the data you have been saved on camera FV-5, you won't lose it..
Not what I'm looking for, but thanks a lot for your reply

[Q] cyanogenmod: camera not working

hi, I installed cm-12-20150204-NIGHTLY-hltespr.zip and my camera doesn't work when the flash is on. the camera app will hang but not force close but I'm not able to press the shutter again until I lock/unlock the device.
edit: now it doesnt work at all. it used to take and save pictures when the flash was disabled but now it just hangs on the view finder and i am unable to toggle any options until i close it (long press on home and flick away) and relaunch it. it seems to try to take the picture but its unable to save it for some reason ?
