Hello,
I don't know if i'm on the right section but i will ask any way
I just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S10.
I installed whatsapp and Instagram, and when i'm taking a picture with flash mode on it takes the picture without flash.
When i'm pressing the button to take a picture, the flash is turning on for (i guess) focusing and then after a sec it take the picture without the flash and the photo is dark.
I tried to reinstall the apps didn't work, I did a master\hard reset to the phone and still not working.
Please help me.
Thank you.
Yoel
Anyone?

Hello everybody I am new here and before posting this question I have read similar posts searching for my answer but none of them regarded my specific problem:
I just got a Star N7189 with android 4.2.1 and the first thing I did, because it was a used phone that my dad gave me, was to perform a factory reset.
My dad told me the phone was fine except the camera didn't worked, so I thought the factory reset could also help to fix this.
After the reset everything in the phone is fine and running without any problem except the camera. In first place there isn't even a camera icon or app, the only way I can access the camera is by sliding the screen after I press the lock/unlock button, and after a second of thinking it gives me the 'can't connect to camera' error.
I haven't installed any application or anything.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
just install another camera app

I've tried several other camera apps and all give me errors. All other apps run fine but apps that need to connect to the camera just fail and shut down lol maybe the phone doesn't have a camera at all and the lens in the back is just to pretend
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
guys , does anyone know how to fix the camera issue after lumia cyan update? i updated to 8.1 then suddenly my camera (any camera app) is no longer opening, when i tapp on camera app it tries to open but suddenly back to tile screen. i searched for this issue on google and didn't find anything helpful. please if anybody knows a way to fix that reply me. thank you!
1.Try to reset your device to factory settings
2. Rewrite the full system image.
after update you must wait because system reinstall all apps and many of them not available in first few minutes (or hour) depend how long need to reinstall all apps...
if this not case, simply make hard reset to factory default (dont forget backup pictures, music, documents, etc) or flash ROM with Nokia Software Recovery Tool
tried reset, hard reset, re-flash
i tried all things that you have mentioned in your replies. hard reset, soft reset. reflash and waiting. but all things seems doens't work. before update it perfectly worked. but i don't know what has happened now. do you have any idea?
I am experiencing the same thing
And now coming on to Christmas time and Carnival here in SK, more pictures are expected to be taken. And that' sone reason why I got the phone in the first place I realise it takes some awesome photos.
Now it's just a joke. The camera app doesn't work and there seems to be no solution at fixing it. even for a a few days.
Cause hard and soft resets only work for a few minutes.
Total joke Nokia and or Windows be by having an update that totally bugs one of the main features of the phone.
I've realise even apps like FB etc reacts slow to open as well. but at least they open. the camera apps if it opens takes like 30 seconds, then if you switch off it and go back to it have to wait again or it might just send you back to the homescreen.
When ever I switch to take a video it says my camera app has stopped working and when I try to take a pic, it clicks shows the pic in the top right but when I click on it, its just a completely grey block.
I've only had the phone a few weeks and this is first time I decided to test the camera as I don't really take a lot of pics.
I really don't wanna do another factory reset as I've only just installed and set up everything.
Anyone know what it is?
Update: #1 - I have been able to unlock the bootloader and reinstall MIUI. Unfortunately, neither of these procedures managed to fix the camera. I've also installed TWRP and wiped everything I possibly could, and yet, still no functionality from the camera. This is weird because I literally had no problems prior to trying out GCam.
I've had my Pocophone for about a year now. I really enjoy using it for pictures and videos. After seeing all the hype around the GCam port, I decided to try it for myself. After I installed an APK, I took a few pictures and all was working well. After a few hours, I opened the GCam app once more to take a new photo, and after which, it froze. I then tried the Stock Camera, and that also froze. I restarted my phone, and then opened both apps, and the camera refused to open.
I've tried the CID test, and it works until it gets to "Rear Dual Camera". The "Rear Sub Camera" does work, however, as does the front camera.
I've also performed a factory reset, but this has also rendered the camera unusable. Interestingly enough, after I restart the phone and open the camera app, it DOES work, but as soon as I shift to portrait mode, it then freezes and refuses to work again.
I really don't know what the GCam apk did.
Have u tried flashing the ROM again?.. This might help

No, I haven't. I've never flashed anything onto my Pocophone. It's completely stocked. I've been doing research on how to unlock the bootloader to try this method, however, I've made no progress with getting the bootloader to unlock. In the meantime, I've been trying other ways to fix it.
One version of Gcam is currently launching the camera, however, the stock app keeps freezing. This other version of Gcam also takes several seconds to switch between the front and rear cameras, so this I know it still isn't fixed properly.
Did you tried to flash a stock rom using fastboot method?
