Do you have an external sd card and if so try taking a picture without it in.

i tried but still same,
I'm not sure if this can help you but it helped me with my ooold xperia x10.
Get to the folder where your camera saves your pictures on the SD card.. (DCIM\CAMERA i think it is?)
Delete every picture and thumbnail you see there.. reboot and try again..
I' saying this as I'm not sure if you selected "format SD card" whenever you did a factory reset.. or is this option even available on the ZU?

Hi! Could anyone suggest what should I do if my older photos disappeard from my gallery? I made a Fix permissions and an FXP133 reinstall (without any wipe, because I was an idiot and I wanted to replace the Contacts app but I failed and I couldn't restore the original Contacts app so I thought maybe if I reinstall only the ROM, it will working again). Before and after the reinstall I made a permissions fix in ROM manager. Now the Contacts app working, but I found that all of my older photos disappeard from the Gallery. It shows only those photos which have been made since the reinstall/perm. fix and my Picasa web albums. I checked in the file manager and all the photos are still there, but I can't make the gallery to show those photos... Should I reinstall the whole ROM again with wipe or there is an easier solution with less work? Thanks

I sometimes get something similar on my stock ICS where the camera, gallery or any other similar apps show the photos, videos or music that's on my sdcard.
I'm not sure what causes it, but I think it's an issue with the sdcard indexing. It's generally fixed by either deleting a picture (make a copy of one and delete it) or by adding a new one. That normally forces the phone to reindex the sdcard and everything turns up again. Sometimes I need to reboot first, but the issue doesn't last for too long anyway since I'm always taking pictures or downloading stuff.
It's a good excuse to make sure your sdcard is backed up though.
Thanks, but that way is not working for me, because since this problem cam up, I already made at least 15 photos, deleted some and not just the rest did not come back, but the new ones also getting disappear constantly... :S and meanwhile I already re-flashed the kernel and re-installed the whole fresh ROM (CM9 FXP133) with full wipe (fact. reset, cache p., dalvik) and the gallery still doesn't show the older/newer photos... So yes, now I think that the problem will be somewhere in my SD card too... I think I will backup my stuff and make a full format, that's my last hope... :/

Okay, it worked. I formatted my miniSD card and restored the most important stuff. Now the gallery shows the photos again. Hurray

That's good to know. Must have been a bad memory card. A lesson to us all..back up your phone!
Yes, sadly something definitely wrong with my SD card... And this is not the 1st case. Earlier, after a simple data transport from notebook to SD card (which I have already done a million times), my phone (and later also my notebook) couldn't recognize the card anymore... I had to format the card from windows' disk manager manually to make it work again. I hoped that it was just an accident, but after this problem which also caused by the card, I think I have to buy a new card shortly... (After 11 months using...)

the same happened when I flashed new sony firmware latest ICS
Hi everyone, I have one question regarding my Xperia Mini Pro sk17i.
1 month back i could have easily moved large amount of my newly installed apps to SD card without any problem. But recently whatever I install, I just cannot move it on SD anymore. I understand there are many apps that cannot be moven, but whatever i tried to install (randomly) from Google store just stays on my phone and option to move it to SD is blank (unavailable). Now, I'm wondering is this something that happens frequently, or have I maybe done something that somehow blocked that function?
I'll note this app (which previously when i had no problem moving apps from phone to SD or other way around wasn't installed):
Disk Defragmenter
another note: I never rooted or flashed my phone in any way, just regular updates. I'm currently on 4.0.4 version ( installed it 5 minutes ago, but still problem with moving to SD).
I have never face a problem like u'r..i'm using 4.0.4 too..
format u'r sd card and try
thanks for reply.
Well, i considered doing that, but i have so much settings on my phone that would take ages to redo once i reinstall all the apps...
Hey bro try link2sd then
Try formatting sd card and reset factory settings. Or you can root and move any app to sd..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
use Link2SD is much better
Thanks for your time guys, I've formated and it looks like it's working now. I'll just have to spend some time to readjust settings like they were before. Thank you again. Lock if needed.
Glad to hear it. Good luck

As the title states. Whenever I use the flash there is a file with an exclamation point and I can only delete it. When I don't use flash the photo comes out strange with artifacts. I can save screenshots from the camera app just fine. I will attach examples.

sd card might need to be formatted. Try that first. i noticed your signature says you are all stock with s-off. is this still correct?

I'll give that a go. My sig is correct, yes.
EDIT: Just formatted the SD Card by pulling it out and sticking it in my laptop, and also tried formatting from the phone itself. No change. I find it odd that the camera app( stock and otherwise) only saves a corrupted file if the flash is used in taking the photo. If the flash is off it's just got reddish artifacts on the image. BUT, taking a screenshot of the preview before the app saves the photo comes out just fine with the exception of having menu crap all over it. Here's a photo saved by the camera app to the sd card, then a screenshot of the preview before the save.

this might be a hw failure. if you are 100% stock and its happening. you can try to ruu and see if after a clean install its still there or not.

I was hoping it wouldn't be but I suspected it might be. I'm pretty sure it's heat damage to some circuit somewhere. Ah well, my upgrade time is coming up soon. The camera not working isn't so terribad anyhow. I have a discrete digital camera that will suffice.
Have you tried out any camera apps from the market to see if they do the same?

- That's the media_scanner running wild. You may have a corrupt file on your SDcard or internal memory.
- Sony ROMs have never had a "Close All" button, so that's not a bug.

Z2 and Z2 Tablet do, but seeing as though very few features where back ported to these phones, as you say, it's no bug
Games frequently crash when previously they never did.
Some apps do not work as they should with Kitkat.
So you guys had your sound bug fixed?
Does not save new wifi passwords (any password saved after upgrading to 757).

I didn't get the previous update so I went from 4.3 to 4.4 straight to the 757 build.
A problem I have on 757 is that it when I use the wireless headset which is supplied and it's connected and press play it just plays in speakermode and have to enable disable bluetooth and/or throw to connect again but it's irritating.
Another problem I found is that the Google Speech (extra button on your keyboard) doesn't appear to be working anymore, it doesn't pick up anything at all.
After the update my 32gb Micro-SD seems to be read-only, I can't copy/paste anything there while in Windows I can (so it's not the micro-sd card), I did a format of the whole SD card anyway, tried it with fat32, ntfs, exfat but all the same, anyone else got issue's with that?
I do like that you can enable 16 toggles and they have extra functionality like on Samsung, when you keep pressing WIFI you can enter the wifi settings from there. And swiping 2 fingers down from the top menu bar makes you go straight to the quicksettings.
I wish the keyboard had this option to separate words though, the spacebar is too small, so you just keep putting ... between the words instead of zero's, Samsung's keyboard is a bit smarter to identify the right words (even glued together) and spaces.
Overall it's faster then 4.2 and 4.3 and a big improvement over the battery (but it needs like 1 or 2 complete battery cycles to fully use that.

My best guess was that your sd card is corrupt. Try to format it with your PC and start clean. That should fix it.
Some battery drain occured with me yesterday (about a day after updating to 757). It was draining like hell, like 20% after only 9 hours since unplugged and about 3 hour of screen time. but nothing crazy on the battery usage graph. So i was suspicious about hidden wakelock somewhere inside. So like a dumb boy, i just opened up one by one of the installed apps. So it was found that somehow Waze and Line app will FC on open. I decided to erase data on Waze and uninstall Line and voila no more battery drain after the next charge! Turns out that i have restored both with Helium and never tested them after restoration.
Moral of the story is, don't do a sloppy restore and backup after clean install. Better for you to find app with cloud save or at least local backup support and clean install the app and then restore the data by per app.

No the SD card isn't corrupt. Google did this in the Kit Kat update. SD cards cannot be written into by third party apps. Only sony apps can write into it like "File Commander". This is to improve security as they said, but it's proving to be more of a problem than a security enhancement -_-

That's not a bug. It's a "feature" in KitKat, and it's entirely Google's idea. You can no longer move, copy or delete your own files on SD cards. A new SD card permission is in place, so apps (Facebook, Spotify, games etc.) can save files to it, but you can't manually do it unless you root and run SDFix (you can uninstall it after you're done), or you'll have to use the File Commander app, or whatever it's called, which came with the update.

I guess you'll have to manually check every file on there. It could be as simple as a corrupt photo, so move everything from your SD to your computer and move one and one file (or folder if you're certain that it doesn't contain a corrupt file) at a time.
You have any idea why mine isn't fixed? I'm on 757 too.
FYI: my update crashed with a "software failed to update" and I had to perform wipes using the SUS.

Go to Settings -> Wifi -> Advanced -> Uncheck "Scanning always Available"
Plus, if you rely on High Accuracy mode and using it for Waze/Maps/Any other Geotag enabled apps, don't you ever turn off Location after exiting the app. Just leave the Location on. It won't wakelock your device for GPS signal. Otherwise the app will show you that it eats battery in battery usage because it awaits for the GPS to be turned on and the only Solution is to restart the phone.
