Hi all,
I have a problem I hope the great minds here can help me with.
I'm using Slimbean 6.2. I have taken two pictures recently with ordinary camera.
Trouble is, the pics appear grey in the Gallery.
Interestingly, the thumbnails show the image clearly as expected.
I think it may be because the camera wasn't focused, the first pic was of my daughter on a fairground ride and the second was of a train (don't ask).
Is there anything I can do to make them appear correctly?
Examples attached.
You can see the thumbnails clearly, when I tap into the second photo down on the left, I get a grey pic.

I'll try that, but in Dropbox on my laptop they are appearing as grey as well..
I've just flashed build 6 and then 6.9 weekly and camera is working in both. I took a number of shots on both builds and purposefully made sure some were out of focus, no problems at all. Best option is probably just to flash the rom again, try the weekly it seems really stable and the camera is definitely working(as it appears to be in build 6).or You could try to push the camera apk first

It's odd, it's only happened on a couple of pics, others have come out fine.
Looking at the details, width height and orientation are the same as for other pics (which did work).
Exposure time is 1/2000 and ISO = 100
Size is 43.33kb vs others which are approx 1.5mb
I'll probably never know...
it happened to 2 or 3 month ago but I can't for the life of me remember which rom it was or how i resolved it, hopefully it will be ok now
No fixes available for that ATM!
Change to 6 MP and the camera won't take gray photos... That's the only temp. fix AFAIK!
Delete please

Thanks vin4yak, I'll try that and hope it doesn't happen again
Happened to me a while ago on viperx rom completely out of the blue. I thought it might be camera settings (even though I changed nothing at the time) but i reset them and it continued intermittently. Only for one evening, and it's never happened again. I hadn't changed anything else either, it just started with the grey pic rubbish, and then for no apparent reason it stopped! And never did it again.. I know what I've said doesn't exactly help a lot , just wanted to say that the 6mp fix might not be necessary.. Must be something else that caused it

Re. camera restarting phone - it's been reported that when on autobrightness, the camera will reboot the phone sometimes. Using an alternative camera app (like Camera 360 for instance), or not using autobrightness for the display, will help.
I also had this problem, and since switching camera apps it hasn't happened.
Changing that and now work fine. Thx @rafithegreat .
And Video Recoring in 720p now is very bad. Even if I play in MoboPlayer it's not so smooth.
Now recordingin norma.
One more question: how to turn on Time Stamp when I'm taking photo?

dawpuc, I've your same problem.
I've tried to change some radios and rils, but the problem remains.
I don't want to use an alternative camera app, because I like the default app.
I also would like to continue to use the autobrightness utility, because I need it.
Can anyone help me?
P.S.: do you know how can I add the timestamp to my photos directly on the photo in one of the corners?
Why would anyone want time stamps?
On a digital camera, it is the very first thing I turn off.

Hi, I have the same problem using Insertcoin CM7 V1.1.2 . The problem has gotten worse since Insertcoin 1.1.1. Back then only the camera would crash.
Since updating to Insertcoin 1.1.2 the camera freezes the whole phone. I have to take the battery out to reboot manually.
I've used a card gparted with ext3 and ext4 both.
At one point the camera kept working but images were not saved properly. Windows then detected problems with the card and some images were placed in the found folder during the check.
The crashes also happen with the separate Sense 3 camera zip linked on Insertcoin's blog. To be honest that one does not look different from the bundled camera and I have the idea that the problems started with the Sense 3 camera.
Hope this makes more people aware of the issue and perhaps attracts the attention of a dev.
So when I take pictures with my phones camera upright, the gallery shows the picture correctly... but now when I send that same picture via MMS (from either build in messenger or Handcent) it rotates the photo 90 degrees.
Now if I send a photo taken by my DSLR, that was copied to the SD, or a screen shot by drocap2, this does not happen.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know how to fix this?
Does anyone else have this problem??
yes I've noticed this too. Don't know what the fix is except to take photos sideways (for texting)...anyone?
This annoys the crap outta me. I haven't figured out a way to fix this other than taking pictures in landscape.

This is caused by the camera app, and how it tags the orientation. You can install a different app such as Pro Zoom 5X or something, and that should fix it. It sucks I know, but installing a different camera app should fix it (just try a free one first).

I thought maybe it was something when it compressed the image, but guess not.
The odd thing is, that in the gallery it is fine, just MMS is effected.
Is this something that can be addressed by developers?

I'm sorry, I thought you meant the Rom/Kernel developers fixing the problem in the Rom/Kernel itself. Yeah, the actual camera app probably could be fixed, but the problem is getting someone to do it. Not sure if anyone here wants to take the time to look at it when there are other camera apps that do not have this issue.
You could also try this camera. Its the MIUI camera. Just place it in system/app, might have to reboot.

I pushed theis to the system/app, Loaded it, but it still sends MMS image wrong
(Its only when sending MMS, with stock camera, or this camera)

The workaround I use to fix this is to crop the picture. Even just slightly in any gallery program. Then it orients correctly when attached. ^_^
Problem is the froyo epic ota. A Ginger leak corrects this issue. No way around it as far as I know. Start taking pics in landscape :-\

This was addressed many months ago. The simple answer is, yes, it could be fixed. But the fix is more complicated than the matter is worth. Recent digital cameras employ an accelerometer to determine how the camera is being held and thus dictate how computers and devices should orient the resultant picture. It does this via some sort of digital tag in the pictures coding that an application then reads. For some reason, the tag the Epic camera creates is then not properly read by the same phones messaging app. Frustrating? Sure. But is an mms that will be looked at for a matter of seconds before being discarded worth hours of effort to correct? The majority of developers have apparently decided it's not worth the effort, and this would greatly exceed my own knowledge.
Simple fix? Another messaging or camera app as suggested.
I came upon this save issue, but I have the Epic Touch 4G.
I take the pic, and with Handcent, the image is rotated 90° counter clockwise.
But with the Native message app, the picture is fine, and not rotated.
Would appear to be an app issue, but with the EVO 4G, the pic was not rotated using Handcent.
I'm a little confused on this one.

Hey,
Tried to go back to Stock Rom? Maybe there is a Bug.
Or your camera is defective.. but i don't think so.

This might be a silly question but were these pictures taken with your One X wearing a GREEN jelly/tpu case?
This happens on AOSP roms sometimes. I personally faced this problem too. Its one of the reason I hate AOSP roms. Camera is very very bad. Go back to stock and you will find there won't be green light issue.

Change colour balance, see if that helps
Change that settings too tonight after many shoots in a raw photos was better and better that make me think that isn't a hardware problem.
I attach another photo now is yellow...but I think is better, but I want to say that without flash they aren't green or yellow they are normal.

My one x does that too. There was some thread with a 'fix' for it. Search one x general. Post it here once you find it.

Hello, when i take pictures on my HOX it comes out being really greenish. And it is only when i use the blitz. Like when I am taking pictures in the night, the colors on the picture are only green (not normal colors).
Do any of you know what to do - and is it HW or SW. I am currently running on ARHD 18.1 - i have been running on the ROM in several month.
Hope that any of you can sort out my problem.

if you have "auto enhance" on turn it off, when using the flash turn WB to fluorescent.
None of the things you did helped out my problem : /
Please see your settings for white balance and a flash. Put them on auto. Hope this helps.

Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
No one has instagram to test this out?

Hi Chobie,
I have the same problem as you example. I took a pic of an apple, fit it into the whole pic and then when i snap, the end result is not what was seen before i snap. It sort of zoom in/cropped the photo such that you dont see the whole apple & the sides have been cut off. I'm also using Note 2 & i dont know when did this problem occurs. I searched all over the internet but it seems that no one is having that problem. My sister is using S4 but she doesnt have this problem.
Did you manage to fix it? I uninstall and install back the app, no help at all

Ugh. That's weird. I wonder what's wrong...
Happening to me as well. The only solution I could find was to disable the option to "Use Instagram's advanced camera" under "Advanced features". This way it uses the phones camera and then asks you to crop the photo on your own.
I hope they fix it soon.
