Hello guys!
I noticed that in all the photos I take with my phone, a small black "interference" appears. I thought it should be a problem with the rom, so I reinstalled the ROM (CM10.1 Alpha 4) by the pristine way and the problem was still there. I then installed a 2.3.6 ROM and the problem was still there. Then, I've dissasembled the phone and cleaned the camera with a microfiber tissue and reassembled again. And the problem was still there. I have no ideas what might be causing this interferance.
In all CM10.1 Alpha versions, CM10 and 2.3.6, the problem exists. I took a photo of a white paper where you can clearly see the interference (Click HERE)
Does anybody have an idea of what might be the problem?
Thanks to all in advance
I have this problem too and the black dot expand in all screen .... So
I asked samsung service center they told me u must change the camera
Maybe flashing roms tweaks and mods alot make this problem??

Try this 3rd party camera app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsInBvd2VyY2FtLmFjdGl2aXR5Il0.
I've always thought it was better than the stock camera.
Maybe you'll get better results and the black dots are just a problem with the stock app.

The problem still persists with that app :\
Maybe I will have to deliver the phone to Samsung's repair center in order to replace the camera..
It's a hardware problem, you must change the camera.

agree.. :good:
Oh sorry, well it was worth a try.
But woldn't it be better to get a new phone instead of having the camera replaced? I man I imagen it will cost about as much.
It shouldn't be that much try contacting Samsung first before you commit to buying a new phone

Today I went to my service provider assistence shop and they send it to Samsung in order to repair it. I flashed stock recovery and unrooted the device. It is still in the warranty period, so it shouldn't be a problem
Good to hear that you found a solution..

Has anybody else had an issue with the camera view having multi colored lines and the it freezes. Sometimes if I do it fast enough I can take the picture and it looks great. I am all stock btw and it has been doing this straight out of the box.

Clear data on camera app and let me know if it continues
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
yeah, it still continues after i clear data. tried a factory reset and it still continues. just rooted and im gonna install another rom to see it my factory camera app was somehow corrupted. i dont think its a hardware issue, but i guess we will find out.
Edit: Still does it. If i force stop the camera app after it freezes and try to reopen it, it will just pop up with the camera symbol then instantly close.

Try a different camera app perhaps?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Sounds like a software issue i would root and try a different camera app like knipp suggested you could also try adb pushing a new camera app if you dont want to root but keep a backup of your original if you go that route. Or try one from the market im not positive but I think they may rely on the stock app
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
If it's still doing it with another ROM it's a hardware issue and you need to return while under warrentee still.
The ones from the market dont work, i do think that they rely on the stock camera. besides the ones from the market, i dont know what to try.
Edit: I did try 2 different roms, one with stock kernel and one with custom kernel and it still does it. Guess im gonna have to unroot and bring it back to Verizon. Would they give me a new one right there or do you think i would have to wait for them to mail me another one, i bought it brand new and have only had it since friday. Been doing this right out of the box.
They will most likely mail you a new one with a box to mail the Old one back in

I am very pleased with my local Verizon store today. I went in and told them the problem and without any hassle they opened up their cabinet and handed me a brand new box. Camera works great on this one and I am a happy camper.
Edit: they also gave me a $50 mail in rebate on top of the discounts that I already got online.

Did you unroot the old phone first?
Of coarse
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
a friend of mine has an EVO 4G, hardware 004, it has been working fine until a few weeks ago when his camera showed a BLACK screen when you clicked on the camera app. he was rooted running SPRINT LOVERS 2.2 rom. Well, we couldnt get the camera working so we did a hard reset and flashed MIKROM 3.0... camera was now working great..... TODAY. the camera is showing a black screen again. you dont even get any of the buttons in the camera app but you can press the home screen to get out (no force quit or anything).
any ideas how to fix this without another hard reset?
The best advice is to try another rom, specifically a stock sprint rom. If it still doesn't work, or works sporadically, its likely a hardware problem with the camera itself.
It sounds like a hardware issue to me I had the same problem an had to get it replaced.don't quote me these guys ate pretty smart but I couldn't get mine fixed

Sounds like the camera hardware maybe staring to fail or has become loose from the board next time it goes black try pressing the lens down and see if it tries to work that would indicate loose connection, otherwise the sensor may be failing
Go in to recovery and fix permission's

OK so today we tried pushing down on the camera module.. then started up the phone and guess what.. it works again...
Sounds like the camera sensor is loose on the board, may need to take it on for repair, or if your techsavvy try opening it up and repair it yourself

Cause i had the same problem and ur cam is a app and sometimes it goes black when app is started, permissions fixs anything screwed up with your apps.

It fixes permissions for a lot of things like apps folders etc your android phone is a linux based system so in order for things to execute they need to have the correct permissions. For instance something with 777 permissions means it has full read write and execute permission for the owner, group and other here is a calculator for linux permissions just to show you what the different permissions are.

The permissions can sometimes change meaning the app or folder or whatever isn't able to execute because it doesn't have permission to fixing permissions is just supposed to fix that so your things can execute correctly hope this helps

Really 3 posts to answer the same question with 3 of the same answer when we already found the cause of the issue
Funny cause ive been combing the net trying to find a working fix. I've been having the same issue for weeks. Once did the "fix permissions" and it worked. Another time i re-flashed the same ROM then a different ROM and they both worked.
IDK what it is but everytime it works bout an 1/2 hour to 1 hour later its back to the black screen again. I'm stuck guys. I even had a friend of mine extract his HTCcamera.apk from his phone & load it on mine...guess what...worked!!! Hour later.....same crap
Comeon guys lets put our heads together and figure this out!!!
For some reason, I was trying to put up a picture that I recently took from my S4, but it kept getting messed up, one was with black background and the whole picture was black. that's all. Then one was white so it was pixelated. So I told my friend to put it up and i Sent him it and he put it up on my account with no problem. Are any of you guys facing this problem? And if so any solutions?
Just sent a picture I took earlier through, came out fine for me. Did you use the instagram camera or the built in one?
I had the same problem... tried posting a pic of the galaxy s4 box and a black pixelated picture kept coming up

Same case.
There is an update, but I think it was more so for international users mostly. When in doubt, delete app and reinstall, that would be my suggestion, reboot if needed first.

Try another pic of the same or something black, see what happens. If it happens, maybe something wrong with color recognition, doesn't this device have a setting for RGB in there somewhere? Too new now to know of common problems, good thing for warranty and forums like XDA !
Tried alot, and IDK and yes thank for warranties and XDA

Sorry I couldn't be of much help, if it is just isolated to Instagram only, it may be app/device incompatibility would be my bets guess. However, with it running 4.2.2, that almost makes me think it is on the apps dev side. An update from Instagram may resolve it, or email dev of app.
Ever since update I'm getting the same thing

Can you two provide a pic? I am on 4.2.2. (mind you, also on a SGS2), and I updated IG and I am not experiencing this. It may be device related, ruling out 4.2.2, but again, I am AOKP, not TW. Root that bad boy, the devs will have great ROMs for this beast of a phone.

But I am guessing that is the non pixelated image? I have seen that on two different compters so far, it looks normal to me.
Ran it through, came out fine? There was an app update today FYI.

Ditto.
I have the same issue and wonder if its related to OS version. I never saw that problem when on 4.1.2 but being on 4.2.2, the Instagram filter always had that problem.
Need to ask Devs about that.....
Confirmed (or at the least)
I have an S3 with OS 4.1.1 and there is no Glitch with Instagram.

When i had my S2 a day ago and it was onn4.2.2 i did not experience this problem.. just got on my coworkers s4 to see if he had the same problem on his stock phone andbhe does.. maybe its just the s4?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I believe it's the size of the picture, mind you our S4 has a 13mp camera, takes 9mp by default which is still higher than the normal standard, try editing a smaller picture like one not taking from your s4 and see if the filters work correctly.
Edit: actually I'm not experiencing any glitch with any size picture.
Edit 2: ok I had it wrong its that one hdr type button that causes the picture to glitch, the normal filters work but not with that button enabled, an iG update will probably fix that.

Hi, some time ago I have found a blue pixel on my Note`s pictures. When I started camera it was there, in the same place. Visible on the camera and on the pictures taken.
I have unrooted and restarted phone; pixel gone.
Today, after few days it is back!!!!
Can I get rid of that without giving phone to repair?!?!

Quickly go to the service center. If youre in warranty theyll change within one day. I had a similar problem except I had a diifused black spot whcih appeared only when i started camera. They changed my camera module and returned on the very same day. Good luck.
