I know it has to be something I missed but I recently rooted using the SimplerRoot for the OTA. Since the root, I have had apps disappear fro the App store and both Fring and Qik are using the rear camera vs the front facing one.
This is a fresh root. no backups from my previous Rom have been installed. Any ideas.

Actually, I have not tested it. Video chat isn't much fun when i can't look at the person.
quality when recording is wonderful, when using qik it's actually not that bad . i would give it maybe a 7 out of 10.
i didn't use skype so i can't review that

[Issue Fixed]
I fixed the issue. I found another version of the Rooted OTA and flashed it to the phone. everything works perfectly after the reboot. both the cam and the missing apps are working brilliantly.

My sister (might) wanna install MIUI on her Motorola Defy. But if the camera doesn't work, it's a no-go. When we rooted her phone, suddenly the camera started acting weird, like it wouldn't show what the camera was pointed at (completely black screen, but it was capable of capturing the pictures anyway ) . And the video recording didn't work either. It didn't actually record video, but the audio was there. This was on the shipped, stock froyo rom.
If she installed MIUI on her phone, would the before-mentioned problems still be present? She doesn't care about not being able to capture 720p video,the only thing that matters to her is that it works.
A reply would be greatly appreciated.
Hiya christian iv got the green lens on standard froyo rom and my camera and video works great, have u tried wiping data and cache? Iv not tried miui rom but id like to no if people are having problems with camera or video on custom roms??

Miui based ROM wajkiui has great camera. Video recording also works perfectly, at 848*480 CM7 recently has been giving me problems with video recording, so I've switched to wajkiui.
Last time I saw miui official thread, there seemed to be a few bugs in it. Read the thread if you want miui only and not wajkiui...

Just goto stock recovery n clear the cache...
Or use cust recovery to clear it...
Clearing the cache should fix it...

I'm using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 on CM11 with TWRP. I cannot seem to get video recording or playback (although I am not very sure about video playback, I've only received pictures in the past while) to work. With an older version of Snapchat, video recording appears to work but then right before I am about to send the video, a message pops up and says that it cannot play the video. Is this related to "Camcorder does not actually record to storage" in the TeamChopsticks "Known Issues That Will Be Fixed"? If not, is there a way that I can fix this?

I've been having this problem with all jellybean ROMs, including stock.
I'm with ya, most likely a Jellybean problem. So if you absolutely need it, maybe revert to an ICS rom or go to stock.

Actually stock also has the same problem (stock UVMC6)

Okay...so I just got snapchat. Never used that before...LOL. So im guessing when you record the video...it dosent play back, right? Do you get to the part where after you record and it plays back? Or is it when you send....it dosent work at all? I havent sent one yet...but I will test more...but I had a camera problem and combined a lot of peoples ways to make it work. I can record at 1080p, I can watch what i filmed, and my gallery dosent FC and reboot phone. I am on UB4.0final, but that camera had issues so I did some research and tested stuff out and now I have what I have...LOL. Let me know if I was right bout the video play back after you record or is it just sending and I will try to help you guys out best I can

the only fix I've found is to use an older version of snapchat , but you unfortunately lose many of the newer features
You wouldn't happen to have an older version would you

working version
I have had these problems too, I find that the version that works is SnapChat 3.07, lets you use front and rear cam for pics and video with no issues.
I just googled for the APK
Im running CM 11 nightlies. I think it's something to do with video framework. I have similar problems with the Tiny Chat app.
I tried googling but couldn't find it could you pm me a link

There has been a snapchat issue for a long time.
The rear camera gives the toast "Video Reording Failed" whenever I attempt to take a video.
The front camera records video perfectly fine though...
I tested this on Gingerbread and ICS, it works on both.
I tested on jellybean (AOSP and TW) and it doesn't work
So I thought this may be an issue for just my device.
When I got my replacement phone, I immediately installed snapchat and saw that video recording failed on my new device as well (it was running stock TW JB)
But when I downgrade to ICS and GB, it works perfectly fine....
Does anyone have a clue about wtheck is going on? Does jellybean not have a certain patch for our device?
I'm not the only one experiencing this. There's many other reviews on Google Play for this device that say the same thing.
Thanks :laugh:

Not sure if you guys have figured out the problem yet but I have. I have found an older version of snap chat that works perfectly for our t989 phones, video recording works like a charm. Download the older version of the app here http://www.mediafire.com/?7py7jfbf809avey

I read somewhere that was a JB problem and the only way to solve this was to get back on ICS or put a older version of Snapchat! Your best bet is probably @iTz KeeFy link

Yea I'm currently running Kit Kat and the video recording still doesn't work for me, having to use the older version.

Ever since one of the Snapchat updates I have been unable to use the rear camera for video as well, since flashing CM 11 the front camera will record but only after a 10 second pause!
Thanks!
Downloading the older version of snapchat worked flawlessly. I can finally record videos!
Can someone on ICS or gingerbread give me a logcat of them recording rear camera video on Snapchat?
i found a fix and it works for me with liquid smooth rom. u just have to change the video camera quality from 720p to 480p by going to camera, video , video settings...
Had any one experienced the crashing of the camera app while trying to zoom when capturing video. I'm on art and using 1080p video capture.
You're not alone, mine does it rooted and my wife's does totally stock
No crash on mine. Factory wipe and u will be ok
AWESOME G3

Mine did it yesterday. I did a factory reset and so far today it's been fine. Might want to try that. It did it while I was trying to do 4K, 1080p, and basically any type of video while zooming. I used the Google Camera App and it worked fine but that wasn't good enough of a work around. I'm hoping I won't have any further issues.
There's also another thread that has this issue reported. Might want to look over there for any other help.

Then we could lose root and have to re-root right ?

No you just loose data. Before you download any app or load data test the camera and see if it running well. If it not try another ROM if that don't work unroot and flash factory ROM. Then reroot and start all over.

I tried to download third party camera app called manual camera, but when I started to capture a photo it seems that it doesnt work. The app automatically closes. I don't know what is the reason behind this. I would appreciate any help. As I really wanted to indulge with manual controls.
The app might not be compatible with your android version.

I run a test using their app called Manual Camera Compatibility. All is good. But still cant capture a photo.
I use it with no issue (7..0), try cleaning cache..
On 6.0 and now on 7.0 Manual camera is working without any issue. Try to clean cache of app.
I tried to re-download it. Still, the same thing happened.
Get manual camera v 3.6 works fine
Still doesn't work for me. Even the AZ Camera app is not working. I have no idea why, Camera FV-5 Lite works fine, but i just don't like the ui. It lags at some point.
Update your app... The new version has fixed the bug...
