Hello everyone. I just got this phone the other day after returning the galaxy s5. I am loving it but I have one issue and maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
Everytime I take a picture in the camera app after tapping the check button, the camera closes and I return to the home screen. Does anyone else have this problem or is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
Not normal. If the phone is stock (unrooted, etc.) I would try a factory reset (backup any personal data first) and see if the problem persists.
Only time I see a check in camera app is when sending picture via mms and it asks where I want to send [email protected],camera etc... if this is case of attaching picture directly from camera to an mms then this is a normal function, if taking a picture and it just closes then this is not normal reaction
Well it seems that the problem has resolved itself. I was just about to post a screen shot of the check mark so you guys could see it and then it just starting working as normal. Thanks for the responses and I'll post here if it comes up again.
Ok the problem returned... I showed the issue to a buddy who has the same phone and it also turned out that I was missing several options on the camera. I did a factory reset and the problem persisted.
I think I found the issue... I was using Google Now Launcher. Apparently that launcher doesn't play well with the camera. I uninstalled the launcher and voila, all the features (video, zoe, dual camera,etc) are back and the camera no longer closes after taking a pic.
Anyone else want to test this theory and see if happens?
confirmed issue and workaround
Hi there,
I can confirm that the Now launcher uses the native Google camera instead of the Zoe camera. I have also found that from the lock screen with the now launcher installed, unlocking by pulling the camera icon opens the full HTC zoe-enabled camera again. I find this super annoying as I'd like to have Google launcher and have the camera work properly. Anyone know a fix for this other than my workaround?
Ditto for T-Mobile HTC One (M7)
There's a lot I really like about the Google Launcher, but this just drives me nuts. I didn't really understand the workaround suggested here ( though I have no doubt it works). But the suggestion sounded on target. So, I went into my app list and shared it from there. It didn't do the funky stuff any more. I wonder if there's a setting to change that behavior: like someone thought, Hey, take a picture and go back to our regular programming? It's a shame because I really feel that the Google camera takes better picture.
In any case, just to let folks know that this is a real problem. The OP was on target.
To anyone else having this problem that does not use Google Now Launcher, another app that causes this is Omni Swipe. The default camera button in the tools section isn't the right camera (not sure what it's trying to access but still). If you add the correct camera app to the app section, it'll be fine.
Yes, this solved my problem as well. I went back to the default launcher and now the camera is working fine

I've only encountered one issue w/ P3s rooted GB update. In Gallery, when I touch any picture, it brings up the menu at the bottom right, for Share, Upload and Comment.
When I hit share, it says "No applications can perform this action." Is anyone else having this issue?
I found a work around by going into the picture in Root Explorer, long press and Send that way but it's sort of a pain to have to do.
Thanks.
ok brainfart. i probably "frooze" an app needed by this function. unfreezing apps now to see which one it is.
Mine works properly. Stock gallery sucks anyway lol. Just my opinion. Personally I like QuickPic
BlurChooser.apk
you need that apk to work w/ stock gallery for you to be able to Share.
Hey, new member here.
I recently aquired a HTC Aria, this is my first Android phone and It's great, only issue I found is with the camera, when I try to take pictures, the screen appears with a lot of noise color (pink areas), as per the pictures, is this related to the set up or is it a camera malfunction? The pictures taken have the same effect.
The pictures were taken a month ago- righ now the screen looks completely pink!
I'm using HTC Aria/ Android version 2.3.7/ Cyanogenmod-7.1.0.
I noticed this malfunction after downloading the Camera 360 app, tried to use it and suddenly this issue appeared.
Any support is appreciated.
Regards and thanks.
First I'd just try clearing application data for the "Camera" app to see if that makes any difference. If not, I'm not sure what else to try except doing a 100% clean install to see if the problem is with your current installation or actually a hardware issue. (Make a backup first so you can revert.)
Hi folks,
I have a haipad i9300 mtk 6577 4 days ago the camera start to make trouble. Sometime just show black screen and after ask for a force close.
I tried to delete the old camera apk and installa brand new...I give to JB 4.2 camera a try to see if it works...nothing still the same. Black screen and after several touch ask for a force close. I guess is not an hardware problem because sometimes it works...what can I do?
I notice if I press several time and I force close then the camera app cannot connect to camera. This happen 4 or 5 times...then if I am very lucky the camera rebirth and start working again...It seems there is a kind of problem between the app camera and the camera hardware...because every camera app have the same issue, so maybe the problema is after...maybe some libs or something like that...any idea?
Odd update...I have a torchlight app with its widget. I notice the torchlight has the same issues of the camera. In fact it freezes and often I need to force close. The strange thing is if you turn on or turn off after few timers you can heard a kind of "click"...the same click you heard when you activate the camera...after that if you turn on the camera it is working. So I guess the torchlight and the camera are linked in some way. Of course I try to unistall the torchlight app...nothing the camera still not working.
Any ideas?
I'm not expect ,but
if something using start using camera (for example torch widget app) then other program cannot access to camera,so if program was not design for that case it will crash. (I know this as When I writing my app i spotted the same problem as You. ).
So i guess something using camera and that cause your problems.Try to find how many programs/services use camera and close all of them and then check/
That's my thought...in fact I'm pretty sure something is bothering the camera app...but...I did an hard reset, so a clean system, but the camera still freeze so I assume is not an application I installed. How can I check which application is accessing the camera?

Hey all,
For some time now, my camera has not been working...kinda. If I use the regular app or any third party camera app, it comes up as a black screen, freezes, and closes down. But then something weird happened.
I started playing Pokemon GO. On the bits where the camera is enabled (to throw Pokeballs), the camera works! Even more bizarre, if I open the camera app while Pokemon GO is running, it will work just fine! This applies to both the front and back camera, both of which had the issue I mentioned.
Only when the app is open though. When I close it and try to go back to the camera then no-go. I have done a reset on the phone, I have tried all kinds of third party apps, I have tried booting in safe mode. Nothing works except what I just mentioned.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on? I'd like to use the camera without opening Pokemon GO but I am OK with it for now since I can use my camera again, albeit in a convoluted way.
I was thinking about trying a custom kernel (insomuch as I can with a locked phone). Worth a shot?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have a Droid ULTRA through Verizon running AndroidOS 4.4.4
When using the front facing camera for video, the app will record while pressing the button and as soon as I let go, it force closes. Once I re-open the app and go to the next page to play the video, it's upside down.
I have gone to extreme measures and completely wiped the phone and re-installed Instagram and it does the same thing. It doesn't seem to be a conflicting app issue at this point so I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue? Thanks.
I had every app the used the camera (Amazon, facebook, snapchat, instagram, camera, etc) force close on my. I replaced my phone through T-Mobile after they thought it was defective since performing a factory reset did not do anything to correct the issue

Did you get the new one? How's it working? Mine is T-Mo too. Out of curiosity, was yours a pre-order and what color was it? Want to see if there's any trend.
Mine was a black preorder. The new one comes today. I'm hoping it just works. I've read a few reports here and Reddit about camera issues so hopefully its isolated to only a few units. Seems like most of the people on here like the phone and its working for them.
I'm in the process of downloading the stock firmware and reflashing to see if that works. I'll update when complete.
I tried to Odin with the firmware I found out there and the latest version of Odin. I got to the the part where Odin said passed, then phone went to update and aborted. So I did another factory reset and now it seems fine. Slowly installing apps to eliminate conflicts...let's see what happens.
My new one was just delivered. I was going to try to smart switch again tonight. If that does not work I might skip this upgrade.
With the replacement (new) S9+ i received yesterday I have not had this issue yet. I've only been using the phone for about 12 hours so far.
After the factory reset from the update menu (power button+volume up+Bixby) instead of the one in the pull down tools menu, I'm all good.
Now I can go back to making annoying Instagram posts. ?
