[Q] CM 10 Camera Crash Problem (Xperia Mini) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi,
I am using CM10 nightlies on my smultron and ever since I use it, I have the same bug in my camera. When I open it, I can take pictures by pressing the shutter, but not by touch focus as very often there is an imminent crash (Gallery has been terminated). This is problematic as the shutter method is not reliable in terms of focussing.
Intersting is that after I restart the camera, I am able to use both the touch focus and the shutter focus. But the moment I wanted to capture is gone by then very often
Anyone else with this problem or even a solution?

Remember to do a backup of your gallery in /system/app.

Maybe figured out the freezing camera - need testers for workaround

Ok, I think I might have figured out under what conditions the camera is freezing.
When the camera is started in portrait mode, the first shot will freeze, at least on my camera. That means when you use the camera icon on the unlock screen, it will freeze.
I tried these different scenarios, followed by a reboot each time (not temp-rooted on any of these):
Device portrait, used camera icon to on lockscreen unlock - camera freezes first picture
Device landscape, used camera icon on lockscreen to unlock - 5 quick pictures in a row no problem
Device portrait, used camera button to start camera - camera freezes first picture
Device landscape, used camera button to start camera - 5 quick pictures in a row no problem
Note that even though the lockscreen doesn't have a landscape orientation, the sensor knows the difference and it seems to affect the camera.
I have no idea why the starting orientation would affect the camera, but being careful to put your phone sideways before starting it up seems to prevent the freezing.
Anyone else with freezing camera issues want to give this a shot and report back?
I too had the camera freeze problem, formatted the card and issue went away. Not sure if this will help you or not.

I tried the steps as described above and the camera opened and shot good pictures every time....
Sorry i couldnt help

Wow. I'm having this issue too. It's freezing pretty often over here.
Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? I'm willing to exchange it (again) if it's the latter.
are there any updates to the camera issue? mine does it if i dont hold it the right way or mess with the 2d/3d switch....sucks....cmon htc release an update fix for this

[Q] Camera auto focus

Hi
I have a question concerning the auto focus of my camera
The thing is that sometimes, when I'm on a rom, for example cyanogenmod 9, I have some problems. Actually, my camera makes a weird noise and the picture on the phone is very blurry, until that I touche the screen and that the autofocus takes effect.
Can someone help me understand this problem (it doesn't happen on all the roms)
Thanks you for your help.

[Q] How to change camera resoluton to a ported rom?

I ported some rom to my device (star 9770 mtk6577) but all of them have the same problem: front camera not working. As far as i remember by the first time it worked but taking photos at 3Mpx (it should be a 0.3Mpx) but now when i switch to it the screen becomes black as the camera was covered (but it isn't) and the phone becomes slower until i switch to the main camera. The problem is still remaining running a MIUI with the same kernel so i think the problem may be there. Is it possible that the high resolution could have broke down that camera and is there any way to revive it?
EDIT
That wasn't the problem, probably the front camera is detached from the electric contacts and it don't work properly. In fact sometimes when I press on the camera it begins to work.

Sense Camera Not Saving.. Camcorder not working.

I have searched everywhere for an resolution to this problem and haven't had any luck. When am on a Sense ROM, my camera is not saving the photos anywhere. Also, if I click the camcorder button to record video, the app closes (it doesn't give me a "Force Close" dialogue box or anything, it just closes). If I download and install the AOSP camera or Google camera, the photos save and the camcorder works. Also, if I install an CM or another non-sense ROM, the included camera works.
Anybody else having or had this issue and have a resolution?

Is my camera faulty?

When I first got my redmi note 4 the focus ring would always be on the screen constantly hunting for focus. Recently the focus ring disappears (the focusing is working) and only show up when I focus on something close.
Thought it was a bug with miui, moved to AOSPE and the problem is still there.
Is everyone else on the same boat or have I got a buggy phone?
(The problem occurs on standard miui camera and Google camera)
Thanks
