Camera issue

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.

Off and on camera

A while back my phone got wet at the beach and my camera went out later that day. It came back after months and then went out again. When I open the camera app the white logo pups up but then it closes. Any advice on a fix?

Better consider getting a new phone. If that white logo came up and no camera work that means the hardware is malfunctioning. Sorry.

Instagram Problem.

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.

Hey, Ive had this problem but found a fix. Go to options-then advanced features then uncheck high quality image processing. This should hold out until the next update

Problem with camera

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..

Camera Troubles..

So my camera seems to have stopped working properly. I don't believe it's a software issue. What happens is I fire up the camera and the screen will either remain black (while still being able to navigate camera options) or the camera will pop up and then the viewfinder will stop after a few seconds.
At first I figured it was software so I cleared the cams cache and data. No luck. Then I decided to flash a different ROM. I tried CM, and Dans GPE rom and no luck. Anyone got any ideas?

You could try replacing the back facing camera.
I did this on my last s4. (Ordered an oem part off a different s4).
It didn't fix my problem, however. At the time people were telling me it was a software problem.
In my case flashing some of the cyanogen nightlies when they were having some trouble with the company that makes the focal camera.
Long story short.
I called T-Mobile. They sent me another s4.

There are camera options in the play store that can verify if it's hardware or software.

In play store search "google camera ",try installing and run. If it functions profit, if not then it most likely is hardware related.
