Camera won't save pictures, can't dl whatsapp-images - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem since i first rooted my Nexus GSM: When using the camera, the clicking sound appears, but there is no new thumb in the corner and no picture saved in the DCIM/Camera folder. If I'm trying to do a video, the app crashes.
If somebody sends me a picture in Whatsapp, I see the litte thumb, but if i click it, nothing happens (and of course - no picture is saved on the phone).
I check the permessions for the camera and the DCIM-folder and I let the RecoveryMod fix all permissions. Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?
First I installed Revolution HD ROM, today I did a reset and installed AOKP ROM. Problem stays the same.
I hope you can help me!
EDIT: Checked data & media, too.. everything is rwxrwx--x

Ok, I fixed it.
If anybodye else got this problem: I simply deleted the DCIM & WhatsApp-Folder.
Don't know why i didn't try that before -.-
Sorry guys

permissions the cause
hi, i had the same problem. PERMISSIONS SEEM TO BE THE ISSUE....
I backed up and restored my memory with the tool kit.
Under "BACK UP OPTIONS" i selected "3. backup you Internal Storage [virtual SD Card]"
The only way i have been able to get around it is by changing the name of the dcim folder as i was unable to delete it.
note: i have also had various other problems with other apps. these apps had folders that were restored via the toolkit. in some cases all i had to do was rename the permission locked application folders. in other cases i had to rename their folder and create a new one with the original naming and sub folders

[Q] Gallery3D raises the dead...

I searched as best I could, but couldn't find a match to this particular issue.
I do have a rather weird issue with Gallery3D, that I've noticed after switching to OpenDesire, in 4.0.10 and 4.0.15.
Until recently I have been using various Sense based ROMs, where photos taken with the phone are stored in DCIM/100MEDIA and I always just used HTC's gallery app.
Now I'm on OpenDesire 4.0.15, which stores phone photos in DCIM/Camera, and uses Gallery3D to display them.
The thing is, when I try to display photos from DCIM/100MEDIA, taken earlier on various sense ROMs, Gallery3D shows some completely random photos instead. The thumbnails in 100MEDIA display correctly, but when I tap any thumbnail, it expands to the grainy fullscreen version, and is then replaced with a sharp and refined version of *another* picture.
It shows photos that I have taken with this same handset, but imported to my computer and deleted from the phone long ago. That is, photos that aren't even *on* the SD card anymore.
I have tried the following:
1. settings > apps > manage > Gallery3D > force stop + wipe data and settings
reboot
no luck
2. rename 100MEDIA to something else.
repeat 1.
no luck
3. Create new folder DCIM/Test
Copy files from DCIM/100MEDIA to DCIM/Test
The copies in DCIM/Test work well.
Hm.
4. factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik
reflash OpenDesire (4.0.15)
no luck
5. Made a flashable zip with most recent Gallery3D.apk from this thread and flashed it over the one included in OpenDesire 4.0.15
No luck (yes the update succeded, different file size )
Ok, fine, so I kind of solved the problem in attempt number 3, right? Well, yeah, except that I'm uncomfortable about my phone magically raising photos from the dead that I've deleted long ago.
Have you guys got any ideas or input?
Well, your deleted pictures aren't exactly "dead", they just aren't in the master file table of your SD once you hit delete, but they can definetly read. But to avoid going offtopic, you can simply back up your files, format the SD card and restore the files. Everything should be ok.
As to why this happened, it's possible that your Master File Table got corrupted somehow (or Android's MediaManager isn't reading it correctly). But I can't really say much since it's difficult to tell what the real cause is (perhaps you didn't "safely remove"?).
Either way, reformatting should help. And keep using Gallery3D from that post, it's one of the best around
Reason
Even i experienced the same issue,,but couldn't find the solution,,,,but i figured out why it is happening..!!
My gallery 3d app was showing the images i took long back which are no more in the SDcard..!!!how can it be possible..??
The reason is,,
>When we delete the file in the sd card,,the operating system will just mark that that memory location with some special character ,,in fact the data will appears to be deleted but truly i won't ...!!
>when we add new files to the file system that space will be overwritten ,,,by the new file...!!
>So in our case the file which appears as the thumbnail is in exact same memory lactation as the old deleted image....so the thumbnails will be stored in different location as the cache,,,,,
>this is the reason why it show the thumbnail but when we click on that,,, it shows the original data resides there....!!
> its just a bug in the Gallery app
>And it will happen only when we delete the files inside the gallery app...
>Next time try to delete the files in Some file managers like Astro

[Q] whatsapp picture (and Picasa)

So I recently got my GNex, and I've rooted it and put a new ROM on it (AOKP).
Everything runs smoothly, except for this:
when I try and send a picture to whatsapp messenger through the gallery (or directly within the app) i get an error that says "preview of image failed, please try again"
I get an error when I try and upload a picture to picasa as well (though I don't care so much about that one, as I don't use picasa as often as I do whatsapp).
I can share a picture from the gallery via sms without a problem (I use handcent, is there a better one for ICS?) so I don't think it's the gallery so much..
I'm using the GApps that comes within AOKP from ROM Manager (it's Milestone 4).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Had this happen to me too. It was a "corrupt" folder or something like that, no idea what caused it. Try deleting the whatsapp folder on your sd card. If you can't delete the folder, you have the same problem. I was only able to delete the folder in the recovery via adb. But after deleting the folder everything went back to normal.

[Q] Couldn't capture screenshot. Storage may be in use.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I was running 4.0.4 IMM30B leak. The new leak/possible update came out, I decided to flash it. Saw that it was only good for updating from 4.0.2 (ICL53F), so I wiped, formatted, and reinstalled it. Re set up my phone (titanium backup, homescreens, android market updates for a few apps, the basics). Everything seemed fine, though I didn't try saving anything. Ran the update to the new 4.0.4, and everything seemed fine and dandy.
The next day, titanium backup runs (scheduled) and fails. Says not enough storage or something despite the fact that it also shows ~14GB free space...
Tried to take a screenshot of the issue, and I get a notification that it "Couldn't capture screenshot." "Couldn't save screenshot. Storage may be in use."
Curious, I tried to take a picture with the system camera app, and it doesn't seem to save pictures either. Though no error messages tell me such things.
Caching seems to work, updating apps seems to work, using 'most' apps seems to work, but saving data to the virtual SDcard has no such luck.
Assuming that it's a permissions issue, I went into CWM Recovery and did a 'fix permissions.' Though that has not fixed anything.
Various searches have shown me that others have experienced this problem, but I haven't seen anyone with a solution. Also, they seem to be experiencing it in various AOKP roms (specifically for the Transformer tablet).
Question: Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
Haha this happened to me and no1 could answer it happened when i went from aokp m4 to m5.. Was odd, but what i did to fix was relock and unlock the bootloader and then get all my stuff back with titanium.. At least that worked fine for me
Edit: well i relocked restarted system and boot android, then reboot into bootloader and unlocked again, then boot into android (fresh new system) and im writing this from my fixed phone 1 week ago.. No problems so far

Glad to hear that there is a fix. I may end up doing this tonight... I'm hoping that a quicker, simpler fix is available (something like boot an insecure.img and change permissions of these folders via adb, or something).
Thanks for that though, as I now know that it should work.
Happening on GSM Galaxy Nexus as well. I tried a rom over milestone 5, then reinstalled milestone 5 and restored my backup, and then got this problem. Seems sdcard is not writable to at all. Gonna try out the bootloader locking stuff i guess.
I ended up using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (for time and automated simplicity) to wipe the device, reflash 4.0.2 (signed by Google), reroot, CWM reccovery, and restore the virtual sdcard backup saved with the toolkit.
Once the virtual sd was restored, I restored my apps (but no system apps) with titanium backup. Haven't had the time since to reupgrade to 4.0.4, but 4.0.2 seems to be working for me nicely.
I am able to screenshot, and nice things like that, but sometimes titanium backup is giving me errors about not being able to save due to insufficient space (still 14GB free). Gonna dive into that issue today.
4.0.2 works good.. What its bad about it its the lag, the ROM its laggy and also the battery life and the photo quality.. ICS now its much better than 4.0.2

No fix?
I'm also getting this problem and only since installing android 4.3 from CM 10.2
I have also noticed that when I connect by USB to my PC I can't see anything but the external sd card whereas in the past I've been able to see 3 devices - ext sd, int sd and system. This makes me think it's permissions but I'm not sure what to change and where.
I need a screenshot to send a picture of an mms issue I'm having and can't re-install/restore whatever as this deletes the mms with the problem so I need a fix that leaves the phone as it is except for this repair.
Any help appreciated.

I'm on a different phone, but I fixed this issue by clearing the defaults for the program that launched pictures. In my case, I use Gallery, so in Program Info under Settings, I reset defaults and everything worked fine. I guess this is the same thing as deleting the Pictures folder since I believe it is an issue of 'releasing' the memory that remains in use by your respective program. For all future requests as to which program should be used to launch a file (or picture in this case), I never select the option that binds future requests to one specific program. Hope that helps .
My fix: re enable the media scanner!
Like many others, I have disabled the DRM and media scanner services because of the bug that caused ridiculous cpu usage (particularly on boot). Re enabling the media scanner fixed this problem right up. If you want a free and easy utility to do this, check out: "Rescan Media ROOT"

Disclaimer: I am not associated with the author of that app.
On some devices (such as Infuse, as was in my case), the only solution was to manually create Pictures/Screenshots (full path: /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots or /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Screeshots). I created them with Root Explorer.
Had tried all other solutions, but they did not work. Seems that the power button Screenshop would neither create Pictures nor Pictures/Screenshots.

I have tried using home+power button, turned on swipe and had difficulty in using the S PEN to make the screenshot - still doesnt work.
I also tried making a new folder but still doesnt work.
My unit is Samsung Note 8.0
/sdcard permissions broken
Just had this happen on my Nexus 5.
The cause was using adb push to copy files to /sdcard when I was booted into recovery. All the files and folders were owned by root:root. I had to reboot to recovery, adb shell, and then
Code:
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/0
It might be possible to do this while booted in android with Connectbot or something, but I didn't try that.

[Q] JB can't see files on the SD card?

Next JB problem: When I installed stock JB, I did a wiped data/cache, but when I booted up, I could see that all the folders were still there in Root Explorer as well as Airdroid. But, Android can't see them. What I mean is, if I open up Gallery, it claims I have no pictures stored on the device, despite actually having hundreds of pictures in several folders. Quickpic sees them just fine, but Gallery doesn't. I'd rather use Gallery because it can find pics from Picasa, which saves a ton of space on the phone.
How do I get my phone to see the folders that are still there?
I updated to Bigxie's ROM, but that didn't resolve it (not that I necessarily expected it to).
sorry, can't really help, as it worked for me without problem from the beginning.
maybe it just takes some time until media scan was operated? or are you using any filters like the .nomedia-manager?
No .nomedia files. If I plug in a USB port to connect it to my PC, it only shows a few empty folders, nowhere near all that are there. There's a Pictures folder, but it's empty, even though my Pictures folder actually has a bunch of files and folder s in it. It's like it's looking at some other partition or something.
That happens to me... i fix it by restoring my previos rom backup, and then doind a dirty flash of the JB Rom (only Dalvik and Cache wipe)
Same here .. no media file in gallery so I flash my old rom...

That sounds like a good solution, except whatever it is that's preventing me from finding my media files is also preventing me from accessing my Nandroid backup.

Might have to do with the sdcard being linked to another folder in storage
KJW979 said:
Didn't see mentioned in here but over at rootzwiki is being mentioned that the reason some can't wipe and return to a previous rom might have to do with JB adding a new folder named storage. If go into root explorer or similar right below folder Sd there is a storage folder if opened brings up another folder named sd, seems to be a duplicate sd folder. I can't remember ever seeing it on any previous rom's. Also nobody sure consequences if deleted. Personally not much knowledge, just passing along.

I'll have to remember that for next time. I gave up and did a factory wipe from Galaxy Nexus Tools, and am in the process of restoring my Nandroid, then I'll do a 'dirty' JB upgrade from there and hope it doesn't do the same thing twice. If it does, I'll just stick to ICS.

Just saw that, thank you for your post. It's weird, though, is it mirroring the SD card? I've got my SD card almost full, and if it duplicated it I would have gone way over.
I decided not to take any more chances now that I'm back to ICS. I'll wait for the official release. I don't think Google Now and the smoothness make up for the loss of themes and customization.

JellyBean SD Card issue

Wondering if anyone can help...
on JB, stock google apps and system apps won't recognize my SD Card at all, while outside apps have no problem recognizing it...?
for example, stock Gallery app won't bring up my pictures, however Quick Pic has no problem. Root Explorer has no problem, Titanium Backup has no problem...but trying to access music or custom notifications for gmail/sms won't show up in the system apps (gmail, mms, etc).
another thing is when I plug my phone into my computer, none of my old files are there (but like I said they show up just fine with Root Explorer or any other file explorer).
I've tried every JB Rom available for Toro, yes I've tried SuperWipe, I've done it all.
Any ideas, fellas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi efrant
Thanks for the suggestion. Gave it a go (tried it twice) but unfortunately it hasn't made any difference.
I'm having the same problem... I did notice that not everything under /data/media had media_rw as the owner/group but fixing it didn't fix the media server issue.
It's definitely a media server issue though as from what I've read it's responsible for listing the files when connected via MTP/USB so I haven't found a fix for it.
I've always thought MTP was flaky. I use ADB to transfer any files back and forth.
Downloading any SDCard rescan app doesn't seem to work... but what I have noticed that if you go to Settings -> Apps -> Running and look under Media, you should see that the service is stuck in the restarting state...

Sejanus,
Mine is restarting too.
I have noticed that if I use a file manager to duplicate an old file (e.g. photo) then I can access it...It looks like some sort of weird permission issue although I have tried all sorts of things to sort the permissions.
I'm using the GNex Toolkit V7.0 to pull everything from my virtual SD card /sdcard and then I'm going to delete everything, reboot, then push everything back to it, reboot, then see if that fixes it.

I just tried, and it didn't work. Double checked, there was no file with a different user/group.
It seems that now my Media is not restart anymore, however I still can't see my files, neither through Google Music / Galery (although some show up), nor using USB to computer (only a few folders show up).
Therefore, nothing yet.
Any clues guys ?
Probably a solution! (at least it did work for me)
Guys, for those having issues with Media process, where Pictures & Musics don't show up, here's the solution that worked for me:
I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21746289&postcount=2 (thanks Chrono_Tata).
Based on what Chrono_Tata wrote, I decided to create a ".nomedia" file in my main personal directory, where contains pictures, musics, personal files and so on.
(For those not familiar with Linux, the ". (dot)" in the beginning of the filename is very important! It means that it's a hidden file. You can create it through ES File Explorer)
For testing purposes, I copied some musics / pics to directories out of that my structure.
Then, stopped and cleaned data for: Gallery, Google Music and Media . Afterwards, restarted phone.
Bingo. It did work, and I could see the pics/musics outside my main directory (although it takes a while to re-scan everything, so wait! Gallery and Music will show nothing until scan is complete).
Well, after I realized it did work, I continued in the following way:
1) Delete the previous ".nomedia" file that I created
2) Create a new one under some sub-directory.
3) Repeat process for re-scan
I did it until I found which directory had an issue (btw, my pictures directory).
I think it might be related to thumbs.db file created by Win, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I still have to check carefully my structure to find the issue.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Adriano.
Nice one!
For some reason the same worked with me. I seemed to have some 0k files that were perhaps causing issues. I used your process to clear things out.
Thanks Adriano!

Basically resolved this by
1) Creating a new directory in /sdcard/DCIM and moved all photos from /sdcard/DCIM/Camera to this directory
2) Placed .nomedia files in almost every directory in /sdcard except the obvious ones (/sdcard/DCIM/Camera being one of them)
3) Copied a months worth of photos from /sdcard/DCIM/Camera_bkup to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera, rebooted the phone, checked the gallery to see if all the photos now appeared
4) Repeated until /sdcard/DCIM/Camera_bkup was empty... in the process I removed a bunch of older pictures that were legacy from a non-Android cellphone that I copied over from my first phone
This was after I fixed the media_rw/media_rw permissions that I found as when I used the GNex Toolkit to dump my SDCard and then tried to restore it, all the files had root/root user/group permission set.
There was also an issue with timestamps of some photos where they were actually placed in the future by a few days, which was annoying because as I slid back from a picture I had just taken to the gallery it would show me some other picture then the one I had just taken. This got resolved as the wrong timestamped photos entered the past.
I was on an MCR JB build... I hope I don't have to go through all these hoops when CM10 comes out.

It definitely is. I'll have files missing from the MTP listing, but when I go in and look on my phone, the files are clearly there. MTP is janky at best.
This has been driving me nuts, since when the I/O update came out I flashed and had the same issue, just reverted to AOKP from nandroid.
I have partially fixed the issue by going into Recovery and fixing permissions, now I can see and select ringtones and most my camera pictures. Still many files are not showing on gallery, but I guess its progress .
Edit: Forgot to mention that I tried 4.1.1 and still had the issue, I just reverted to a nandroid b/u of ICS.
i think this issue is caused because the storage is named "sdcard0" the normal should be "sdcard" i tried to change the storage name but "sdcard0" is reed only, so i can't change the name with root explorer maybe someone can try to rename it and see if this issue will be fixed.
any thing let us know because this issue is being annoying.

Having the same issues... wasting the WHOLE day troubleshooting this issue w/o any luck so far... I think I will end up going back to ICS and be happy with it until a solution is apparent. So annoying...! Jelly Bean is sooo fast!
