I have searched everywhere for this and still can't find a solution.. Ever since I flashed the leaked 4.1 OTA from I/O none of my pictures I take with the camera are saving to the gallery. All my previous pictures are there from my ICS ROMs... The picture even slides to the right to indicate it is there, and when I swipe right, it is back to my old pictures.. And it can't be the dating because I have sifted through every single picture on the memory card and none of my pictures I have taken since I flashed JB are there.. So then once the source for 4.1.1 dropped I flashed the stock official ROM compiled from one of the devs (bigxie_maguro_JR003C-signed.zip) and everything works fine except the camera/gallery issue still persists. This is getting annoying.. I have searched and searched with no solution, wiped data of my gallery and media apps, and even did an entire factory reset. If anyone can help me with this it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Just checked and my camcorder isn't working either. As soon as I hit record it just closed out, no FC or anything, it just ends. I would reckon that this is the same as with other JB roms as well as the camera issues are the same among JB roms.
Same Boat
I am having the exact same problem, OP did you find a solution?
Thanks.

Nope, I even went back to stock ICS, and the problem is there in that ROM as well. I tried numerous fixes posted here and nothing works. My gallery also won't let me delete images because they are still there when I reset the phone. Now, when I plug my phone into my computer, it doesn't show anything on the internal memory. . Weird. The camera works fine, its just that nothing is saving, even though it swipes to the right indicating that it saved. I think JB seriously screwed up my internal memory... Anybody have any other advice???
I have noticed that new photos do not show up in the gallery too (until the next automatic media scan perhaps.)
I get around this by using quickpic
I had the same problem after I installed JB 4.1.1 on my phone and this post below got it working again.

Hi! First things first, I've looked at most of the other threads regarding common camera issues (blurry pic, mms pics being blurry, etc.) and none of them cover or regard the issues I'm having.
Onto my issue: I'm running Jugg. 4.1 (and am absolutely loving it) but, just yesterday, my camera stopped working. It works when I switch it to video mode and worked a couple times when I would zoom the camera in or out. Now, however the screen is staying black. I can see all the camera controls/shortcuts but nothing comes up on the screen. When I switch the camera to video mode the camera works fine. When I swap the camera to self-shoot it works fine. I've also downloaded a couple different 3rd party camera apps to see if that would fix it and I have the same issue: I can use the shortcuts provided but nothing shows up, just a blank screen in the camera window. I would post a screenshot, but the screen shot's are also coming up as just a black window and aren't showing the camera shortcut menus, camera switch button, etc.
Anyone know of what would cause this or how to fix it?
backup and reinstall ROM.
I am having something similar to what you are faced with.
The difference with mine is that, it says camera failed then closed after pressing ok.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
Also I'm having issues with charging my phone.
yeah I'm finally able to get around re-installing tonight, I'll let you know if it fixes it. As for your issues, I'd guess that you have to re-install as well
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah just re-installed, still having the issue. Now I can't record video, either.
mmk... so I've installed teshxx's stock rooted rom, still the same issue. Anyone have any ideas what would cause the camera to work for video recording (that's actually working now, just takes a minute for the camera to start working) but not for taking pictures?
annnnd just restored back to the stock rom, before I installed anything other than root access.
Can anyone please help?
Updated to JB 4.1.1 and video camera not working, Gallery Stopped.
Updated to JB 4.1.2 same problem.
My camera and panorama are working fine.
Please help.
Thank you.
I'm having a similar problem.. last night, I attempted to use the TeslaLED widget to aid myself while walking my dog at night. To my chagrin, the light never came on. I wondered if it was the light itself, so I attempted to open the camera to take a picture... it immediately closed and showed "gallery stopped" for an error message. I rebooted the phone hopping that would fix the problem. The problem was still there after booting back up.
I was running a CM10 nightly that I've had for over a month. My Verizon Galaxy Nexus is rooted and unlocked. I attempted to flash a stable CM10, but am still having the same problem. I will attempt to flash stock tonight to see if that fixes it.
Gallery not working
Ever since JB 4.2.1 update...my gallery and camera no longer works! Tried clearing cached, hard reset but no luck. Next step might be to toss it out the window....
Ok, somehow its fixed! I had backed up my gnex via recovery mode before I installed the stable cm10. When that didn't fix my problem, I restored the backup do I didn't have to reconfigure everything again when I flashed stock later yesterday evening. But, to my surprise, restoring the backup fixed the problem!
I too am having an issue w/ my Gnex's camera. The app will open from the gallery, & the camera buttons are at the bottom of the screen, but the screen is black. You can push the button to capture a pic, but nothing happens, you can switch to record video & it locks up & FC's. Every now & then you can open the app directly from the camera widget, but it typically just goes to a black screen w/ the software keys at the bottom faded out & the phone just locks up. I replaced the camera w/ a known working camera from a parts Gnex I have. Same issue. I was running 4.1.2, but I've since upgraded to 4.2.2 hoping there was some sort of software fix. No dice... still doing the same thing. The isn't rooted... but I'm going to root it & throw on another ROM to see if I can get it working somehow... but outside of that, I don't know what else to do. Any new ideas?

Hello Folks
I am new to this website. I have a question. My phone is Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3. I flashed Cm10-20121125-nightly. Everything works fine except camera. When I took picture, My camera froze for a while and then saying that the Gallery not responding, When I close the camera and reopen camera, it says cant connect camera. If i took video or use sphereview, it works fine. Do you guy have any ideas what is going on? This drives me crazy.
Thanks
Please search next time. This has been covered.
What you need to do with the 4.2 camera is focus by touching middle of screen then take pic.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3
I'm running 10.0.0 stable version and I can't get the camera to focus either. I've tried tapping the screen and the [ ] box lights up but nothing changes.
I should mention I'm on the Sprint U.S. version of the phone. Just thought I'd ask here since this post came up when I started a new post in the Sprint section.
camera issue still unresolved
I've tried a number of things from different threads and nothing seems to help. I'm running CM 10 on AT&T Gs3. After flashing, camera app shows error saying "can not connect to camera". I know this is a common problem, but I cant seem to find a real solution.
I have the same problem with Beanstalk running the 4.3 Jellybean update. Do you have Focal installed on the phone ?
edit : My front camera don't work either, tanking a picture cause the phone to reeboot.
Can it have someting to do with the kernel ?
I am using SlimBean with lean-kernel and I don't have focal, but no reboots with frot facing camera...
My wife has the same phone as me but all she is running is stock rooted. My problem is her phone keeps getting corrupt photos. I have no idea what it is, a search doesn't help I can't find any problems like it.
Are there any suggestions for a fix? Pictures are her life and this is twice now its happend its not just a few pictures either it is like half her gallery?
Edit: she's on stock rooted ICS 4.0.4 and she says it's stock camera I have no idea what she's doing I think its to high tech for her
I should start off by saying that I hate the stock gallery and camera apps but... I'm stuck there right now because the unofficial CM build has completely broken bluetooth support.
That being said, I'm running into an issue where my gallery crashes every single time I open it up. Anyone perhaps know what might be going on there?

Same problem here. Gallery crashes when I click the share button. Lots of bugs after update to android 4.2. Terrible thing! Thinking about downgrading.
Already did factory reset, solved other bugs but this one still persists
Samsung support told me to go to an authorized samsung service center to fix that. Is that a hardware problem??
I can share files when I search for then in the system files, the share shutdown problem only occurs when in the gallery.
Does someone knowns what do do?
Any tips..Any tips you got?
