So I have had my phone for a week now and I tried using the video camera and noticed that when I tried to zoom in or out the camera force closes. All I have done to my phone is root it and change the dpi to 530. Has anyone else seen this?

I'm also rooted and have my DPI @ 530 so I don't think that's the issue. I saw this issue pop up for others on here as well can't find the thread to link you to right now though....
I think for them doing a factory reset fixed this problem and I want to say it has to do with some app or mod that's borking your camera. You don't run xposed????

I was having the same issues with the camera and I'm not rooted. I just did a factory reset which fixed the problem.
thanks for the replies, I'll try a factory reset. Does anyone know if I can reset while being rooted?

Yes, this was before rooting the device. I rooted it because I hoped to clear the problem. Now I`m with MIUI-NB (last version) and there isn`t a pop up message - just nothing happens....black screen and two buttons....
I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. I'm experiencing almost the same thing, except I get a camera fail message every time I open the camera. I've posted in other forums here and haven't gotten any help.
Guys I am here to help you lol I had this problem and the answer is clear data and cache for the camera in roottoolbox . And if that didn't work(like me) them your camera is malfunctioned and you need to send it in to Samsung toq get it fixed. I think they are out of vibrant though

I havent tried clearing data or cache. But i installed a replacement camera, and it worked for a day.. then I got the camera fail message. I even flashed back to stock and still no luck.
Same problem. Only fix is banging the camera side on a hard edge a couple times. It removes the camera failed for a bit. Although it can't be good for the phone. Im guessing its a bad connection between the camera module and the computer.

Hi,
Has anybody faced this issue?
Whenever I open the camera app then switch to front camera, the camera app force close and the tablet restart. I guess the app got corrupted somehow and I'm not sure if this is related to the root.
At any event, I'd appreciate it if some can provide me with camera.apk. Maybe replacing mine would solve the issue.
Just tried, no issue here. Had an issue similar to this before root. Try browsing into the folder where pics are - i deleted some which did not look right and it refreshed the strip of photos in the camera app and force closes disappeared

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately this does not work!
If something is wrong with the gallery it would crash whenever I open the camera. but the problem only happens when switching to front cam.
My only hope is get the camera.apk and overwrite the one I have.

post location of the app where it is on the tablet and maybe people will post it for you. Have you tried clearing cash for the app too?
the camera.apk is under /system/app but after some trials I assumed that it's not the app. It's probably the driver or something the front camera is dependent on. I have tried turning on the front cam with Skype and other apps and again system crashed.
I guess I could either do factory restore or search/wait for firmware update.
Thanks anyway ps3taker
Just out of curiosity i went ahead and tried the Lg G3 camera tweak to test out the fps improvement. I follow all directions given and was left with a broken camera app. So using my past experiences with the S3 (lol) i downloaded titanium backup and backed up my camera app before i even attempted. After i finished with the tweak i ran the app and it was unresponsive so i undid the steps and restored the camera app with tb. The application now works however i dont get to use the entire screen as seen in the screenshots, also i can no longer record with the camera app. Any help would be much appreciated.
Yes i have root.

I had this happen too. I believe I just tried another "Mod".

Since it was new, my TAB S3 rotates to portrait whenever I try to look at FB marketplace. I have tried everything I could find through searches. My wifes S3, bought at same time, stays in landscape mode. We both have screen auto rotate turned on. I even tried turning auto rotate off, it still rotates. Also, when it does this, the pics don,t fit properly on the screen. Help
I had this problem on the original Galaxy Note 10.1. I figured it was just because somehow Facebook was installing an older version. It was a Verizon SCH 925 or so it never got updated passed 4.1.2. I never had the problem on my 2014 edition which was running lollipop stock or Los 14. Have you updated it to Oreo yet? Have you tried stock recovery and formatted the cache partition? Not a factory reset just the cache partition. Tried clearing data and cache for the app itself? I wish I could help you more, but seeing as how it's not doing it on hers but is on yours it's most likely just a corrupt Facebook file that's forgotten how to handle the gyroscope.
Thanks for the reply. I put up with it thinking the update to Oreo would fix it. Just got the update a few days ago, no change in the problem. Have since done a complete uninstall of the FB app and reinstalled with no change.

Why not just install smart rotate from play. It'll solve all your problems.

Have you messed with any of the display settings on this device? Font settings, zoom settings etc?

Compare the miminum resolutions you each have under developer settings, it may at least stop the app from cutting off as apps hew to screen res

Thanks for the advice. The only setting that I could find relating to resolution was Minimum Width. Both were set at 768 dp.
I have exact same issue. Did you find a fix?

Netwolfstar I could fix the rotation issue with an external app, but the sides of the posts were still cut off. Did you have this problem too?
Did anyone fix this? I have the same issue.

The only thing I found to help was to rotate my tablet to portrait and open marketplace. Then everything displays properly, but ony in portrait.
I had the grey on market place. I uninstallerd facebook and installed facebook lite app instead...Problem solved. Then install smart rotation app to get facebook to rotate.... Happy days...
It's 2023 and still no fix.
Hi all! My camera app has been disastrous after EMUI 10. After opening the app camera resets itself every few seconds and it is not the focus. Camera visual just comes and goes as you can see in the video below. I have tried other camera apps and they work fine so I don't think it is hardware related. I don't want to make a factory reset just for this issue. Any idea is appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried to wipe Camera's data? That should reset the camera to default.
