Hi all,
I have an issue with the camera/thumbnail generator on my Le Max 2 which I flashed first to Lineage OS and then to Resurrection Remix, and the bug persisted on both roms. Here's a link to the screenshots that show the problem imgur.com/a/Eay0C . The first image is the corrupted thumbnail, the second is what it should be and the last is what occasionally happens when I try to play any video (regardless of whether it was downloaded or taken from the camera, although it seems to occur a great deal more to videos taken by the camera). When I take a video, regardless of what camera app I use, it always has this corrupted thumbnail in exactly the same way. Theres always the green line on the right, the half of the thumbnail that should be at the top is on the bottom side and what should be on the bottom is at the top, along with some weird discolouration. On top of all this, sometimes the camera just refuses to work at all - it takes about 3 seconds of video then says something along the lines of media can't be recorded.
Thank you very much!
Update: I've tried using VLC and the thumbnails appear to be fine so I'm wondering if it's an issue with the gallery's way of generating thumbnails? Does anyone know how I might be able to reinstall the default gallery app?
Update 2: Having cleared the data and the cache for the Gallery, the thumbnail issue still stays

Sometimes when i take pictures and check them out later they are fine until i tap on them from the gallery then they get all messed up and seem to get saved that way. Here is my hurried explanation of what that looks like...On the phone they are half cut out and a rainbow of color goes where the picture crops out so the top half is fine the bottom is filled in with the cascade of color. From inside the gallery the picture loooooks fine until i tap on it then its all messed up again, if i put these messed up pictures online or save them to my computer they are still ruined. This is becoming a problem because i usually have no time to write down my schedule at work and i like to snap a picture of it which takes seconds also it happens occasionally i can take several pictures at a time and they all come out fine. I'am rooted using photon torpedo i have edited my build prop in the past for higher quality still shots but i restored the default build along time ago. Iam not able to update at the moment unless i go back to stock if that would help i would return to stock,update and root later. Anyone have this happen?
Nope.I've has my pictures cut in half tough with the rainbow bit before.greet changing the store location and see if that helps. G.l.

if storage location does not fix it, try a hard reset. I was having some issues and had to hard reset, open camera, take pic, check it gallery otherwise i would get a force close in the gallery when trying to "album" the photos. Hope this helps
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.)
Android 4.3 Camera Security Bug - Samsung Galaxy Nexus upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 via OTA.
Anyone who recently upgraded can try and replicate this issue.
After upgrade launch the camera, try to set as default settings as you can (not sure if this matters, but try turning off the camera flash).
Use the rear facing camera, press the shutter button as fast as you can, look in the gallery. You might find that photos you previously took and deleted have resurfaced.
Try the same thing with the front facing camera.
I was able to "recover" photos taken and deleted a couple weeks ago using this method. I'm guessing that something in the software can't keep up so it finds old photos and uses them for some reason. After a few rounds of doing this, the problem went away, so maybe it cleared out some kind of cache or used up whatever leftover deleted photos there were.
Anyone else able to replicate?
Whole photos or just the thumbnail? I've had a similar thing on an archos tablet where the thumbnail is an old, deleted photo, but when you select it to display full size, it's the one that was just taken.

It was the whole photo viewed in the gallery. Swipe left from the camera app and the previously deleted photos were viewable. Tap once, they fill the screen, pinch to zoom they enlarge. I didn't try downloading them to my computer through USB. The problem went away after a few rounds of doing this and deleting all available photos, it was quite disconcerting in terms of privacy. The front camera and rear camera seemed to have their own separate caches of deleted photos as the issue happened with each independently. I ended up doing a factory reset which hopefully will be good enough. Nothing special about my device, Galaxy Nexus GSM, purchased from the play store, always upgraded through OTA, never unlocked, never custom ROMs, never rooted, etc...
Hello,
I have not found anybody posting about these problems. The first problem is very odd, but sometimes I can take a picture and it will be fine. It will show up in the little preview window of the camera and in the Gallery. Then at some time the picture displays as just a black picture. If I try to view the picture after mounting it to my laptop. I get an error, "Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x00 0x00). I attached a screen shot of my Gallery. There is 3 black pictures where there where perfectly good picture.
To me one of the funniest issues is that I can see the image just fine for a few minites sometimes. Other times it will be a day or a week that the picture works just fine. Then I will have just a black picture there. This was not happening until after I have been running th3Bill AOKP 4.1.2 for about a month. Before this the pictures and camera where working just fine.
I don't know if it is related but shortly after this started I would sometimes try to take a picture and the phone will say to please insert a memory card. I know that the SD memory card is still in there. I can access files off of it. This can happen after I have taken some pictures and the camera worked fine, or after waking it up after sleeping for a long time. Most of the times rebooting the phone will fix that problem.
Is there anyway to fix this so that my photos don't become a picture that is nothing but blackness?
Thanks
What rom are you using? Anything above 2.3.6 IS broken, camera doesn't behave normally

Android Open Kang Project (AOPK) 4.1.2.
I just find it odd that this seems to be a problem with something going wrong with the data after it is writen to the SD card. That it is only something that happens some of the time. That I could have a picture and use it for months in some cases and then it turns black, or I could have it for 1 minute before the same thing happens.
Yup, reverting back to 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 should get back to normal

viewing photo from Samsung stock camera is extremely slow,often took more then 2 sec to actually load the image (only allowed to use galaxy gallery app)
When I download Google camera, viewing image by swiping left display the image instantly and smoothly (using google+ photo app)
I want to keep using the Samsung stock camera because it's so much better then google camera, but viewing photo through camera app is insane painful
any solution?
I got the same problem. They literally take some time to load each picture. Would have though that they would open faster with the new internal flash memory as the read and write speeds were supposed to be quite fast. They said they were the fastest on the market today but obviously this is not the case when load times of each picture is 1-2 seconds.
You've said by your own.
The stock camera is much better than google camera and it has a very good quality and that means it's need more time in processing because it's better.

I don't think that is the true reason for slow load
because once u load the first image, the following 100 image will scroll smoothly
if you saying the first image need more time to load because the picture was just recently taken,
then it should instantly load if I patiently wait for few seconds after photo taken allowing time for image to save, which is not the case, the gallery still require seconds to load the first image despite waiting
this proves that it is the gallery/camera app problem instead of image quality or anything

anyone know how to reduce delay when opening samsung gallery app through camera?
or even better, change the default gallery app load through camera to quickpic ?
I tried almost all famous third party camera app, all of them are pretty bad in terms of speed and function
I don't have this problem. Mine loads quickly even if I completely quit the camera app take a picture then look at it. Believe me I know how bad it was with their previous flagship I had the Note 3 but I commend them for this.
Bump... Anyone found a solution to this? Aggravating when you want to see a picture you've taken, and it takes 10 seconds to load.... The old solution of removing 'other sources' from the Gallery app isn't possible anymore, as Samsung have removed any concept of settings from the Gallery app. Annoying!!
