Has anyone found these all black screeshots in there gallery?
Have found several of these and they all have the black background / no wallpaper.
Did not take a screeshot.
Was looking at other photos when I noticed these black pics among other pics at different times.
Have found 3 all together with different dates and times.
Pp.
Well, am I taking crazy pills?
???

Nope, Not seeing those on my phone.
I've seen them pop up before. No idea how or why they happen though lol.

1 in 3 pictures comes out totally black bo matter what I am taking a photo of. Any ideas? Using an unlocked with WM5. Will upgrading to WM6 help ya think?
Take the lens cap off.....
Just kidding, mine did that the other day too. It all of a sudden started working again after taking several pics. Not sure what caused it.
It appears to be working now. Weird.

After you took the lens cap off right? thats an ole trick
Hi Guys,
That's a bug in the Camera software, I believe.
I had that too with WM5 and noticed that it (black photo) only happened when the camera was pointed at certain things, such as into the distance in the forest or into darkness inside the home, for example. Never had that problem when taking photos of well lit things close up, like within a couple of meters or so. Try this for yourself by pointing the camera at close up things, distant things, dark things, bright things, things with lots of detail in them like the forest or some bushes.
I think the camera software must be doing some contrast calculations or something and gets confused sometimes thereby deciding to give you a black photo as its best guesstimate
Good news is that since I upgraded to WM6 (Black 3.0 curretnly) I have not yet had this problem. Perhaps it has a newer version of the Camera. Try one of the current flavors of WM6 and see which one you like. Just don't install all your apps immediately after you flash a ROM, until you've tested all the stuff you normally use like camera, internet sharing (no modem like in WM5), alarms, java midlet applications, etc.
All the best.

I would but I'm nervous of crippling my wi-fi as some WM6 ROM's do. I'm using HardSPL7 and Radio version: 1.40.00.10.

I've flashed about 25 times to Dutty's, Black's, Custel's, and now on LVSW's latest. Wi-fi works perfectly, no reason not to try WM6.
regarding the Camer issue. i just got back from the beach and when i was taking some pics when the previex screen came back it was just all black. So then i would go into my pictures and video and the picture would actually be on there, not all of them though. Sometimes they would be all grey. And this was all on my 8525 running custels 2.5 fixed. so i really dont know what could be going on. kind of sucks especially when you take a good pic and it doesnt come out.
i think it has to do with what rom you run and whats running in the background as this used to happen to me in black 2.5 but now with the newer camera drivers everything is GREAT!!! try no to run to many other apps while using the cam and also upgrade to Lsvw's new rom cam and everything else works great!
Hi austinsnyc,
You mentioned newer camera drivers - was there a cab posted for them in some forum? I've been looking for it under keywords "hermes camera new driver", etc, but no luck finding it yet.
I have the CUSTEL 2.5 rom on an Imate JasJam (HERM 100) and all is working well. I haven't tried taking pictures in the forest lately, where I first noticed the problem. I had no other apps running at the same time as the problem occurred. Whilst in the forest I reset the JasJam to see if that helped. After about three photos I started getting black photos again and after a few of those the camera application died (crashed) again, which required another soft-reset.
Sometimes it's a pain in the ass with this camera software I tell you. When it works it is great, until it starts crashing... Well, I guess it is a pretty poor camera anyway, when comparing pictures with those taken on my little Canon Ixus 50, but the Canon stays at home most of the time and the phone is with me almost always.
If you can point me in the right direction that will be terriffic.
Thanks mate

Not sure if this or these will come as part of a widget but posted in here.
I've seen loads of pics of peoples phones with the current date, time and battery charge in words instead of numbers. Some look really nice.
They appear when the phone is unlocked and also on the lock screen.
Can anybody point me in the direction of either the widget(s) or whatever i need to get those on my phone.
Cheers
Carl
Battstatt and Tajm are the only widgets that i can think of that resembles your description.
Thanks. They look like the ones i've seen on various peoples phones pictures.
Tried both these apps and while they are nice and exactly what i was looking for they don't update. They seem to get stuck on either a past time or in some cases the time was in the future!!. The battery charge one also got stuck on an incorrect percentage.
Shame as they are very nice.

except them in your taskmanager / taskkiller
Doesnt matter, i dont run a taskmanager at all and they still dont update. I emailed the developer and he said it was a problem with cyanogen roms. I dunno, shame cause they are nice.
So, keep seeing videos with all these cool camera effects where the effect follows peoples faces etc. How do you get these? I cant find any instructions or menus on ICS? Do i need to turn them on or something?
Thanks!
It's in the options when you take a video. The little rascals don't seem to let you use it for photos though. Not sure why
Thanks, i felt sure i tried that but i obviously didnt!
I am also curious why you cant do it on photos but glad i have found it!
Can someone please modify this jpg and add a small apple icon first in the line of evolution. I want to make this my lock screen.
Thanks

Here you go. Hope that works for you.
Edit: Ok, re-did the image using a 1920x1080 image pulled from Google. Saved the resulting file as a .jpg with the following dimensions - 960x800... that way you have the option of either having it centered or having the full image as you move from page to page.
I've also attached a screenshot with the image centered. Luckily... I managed to get it to fit on the first try.... yay.
Please note, if you decide to use the full picture instead of just the image center when you add it as your wallpaper, make sure you have an odd number of pages to scroll through and that your home page is the center page otherwise, the text will always be off and never centered.
Lol good one!

Oh stop complaining and just say thank you.
Not at all unappreciative of the jpg. Just asking if anyone else had the same issue with the image.
thanks
The original source that I used that was attached to this forum appeared pixelated to me. That is what I used to work with. I can try finding a better source to work on and maybe the outcome will be less pixelated. If you know where I can find a better source... that would also be helpful.
Edit 1/31/12: Nevermind... I found one. I will give it another go today.
Sorry about the original image. I took it strait off my phone so I thought that it would be good. Thanks so much for the rework.
There you go.
I uploaded two of them. One with the apple slightly tilted which to me makes it look like it was discarded. And one with the original request.
See screenshot from my phone showing where it fits with the stock clock on the phone.
Enjoy.
Not sure what is going on but they are extremely pixelated on my phone. To the point that its blurred out. Anyone else having this problem?
Here is a large version of the image. I have a version on my phone that is perfect with no pixelation. Here is the image details:
Dimensions 480x400
Width 480 pixels
Height 400 pixels
Horizontal and vertical resolution is 96 dpi
Bit depth 24
Size ends up being 9.31 KB
and its a .jpg
I hate to be a pain in the ass with this. I am very appreciative of all the hard work. Thanks again

So the two versions I uploaded for you are pixelated?
Are you running a ROM or stock? On my phone, they are very clear, no pixelation. Something doesn't sound right.

Are you still on blend?? I just aplied the tilted picture and its fine. I downloaded it then went to gallery and set as there. Try that.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes still running Blend... Love it! ICS Mms and the TSM by Maddoggins. I just tried it again and the same problem occurred. Changed both the lock screen wallpaper and the regular wallpaper and it looks the same. Here is a screen capture with the apple and one with the original as my lockscreen adjusted so I can read the time/weather/etc info. Thanks again

How are you downloading it? Try useing the xda app.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I download the image from here to my computer and then transfer to my phone. I will try the XDA app next. The total file size is way smaller than the original. I think that might be the problem.
Nope! I got it! Looks Great! I was having a complete ID10T error. I did not realize that I was just downloading the thumbnail and not the whole image.
Thanks for everyones help. I do appologize for my ignorrance.
I lowered the evolution image here so you can use it on the lockscreen and still see the clock, weather, etc.
Hi, I'm seeing an odd bug in the Jelly Bean camera (running stock jelly bean on a GSM Galaxy Nexus) that I haven't seen reported elsewhere:
When I snap a photo, that photo appears in the little window on the top right of the screen (as it should), but when I then swipe left to see the photo I just took, I instead see photos I took days ago. I have to swipe through a bunch of photos in order to get to the one that I just took. Is anyone else seeing this behavior? And is there a way to fix it so that swiping in the camera actually takes me to the most-recently-taken photograph?
Thanks, Alan

Having the same problem here. Im using stock jelly bean. I have been looking for a fix too but no luck yet. Looks like it is not a common problem...
Glad it wasn't just me! I actually switched to another Galaxy Nexus (for unrelated reasons), and this isn't an issue. So it must have been something odd about the way something was set up on your phone and my old one. Though I think I've got things set up the same way on this new phone as that one, so I'm not sure what the difference might be.

It might be a date issue on your phones, are they set to correct date/time ? It might be as simple as the date on the photos you are taking is older then the ones already there.
No, it's not a date issue -- the date was set right on the phone and was showing up right on the pictures. For some reason, the phone would just think that the last picture taken was in fact one taken days earlier.
This Is A Known Issue

This is symtomatic of this bug, which Google are already aware of. I would love to post the actual link here, but the stupid restrictions that this forum places on me forbids me prom posting external links and helping people.... go figure... Thanks XDA team...
You can try Googling "jelly bean gallery pictures wrong date order" and you can navigate to the actual Google bug report describing this problem.
As the photos are not always displaying in the actual order they were taken, you see the bug described above.
There is a workaround, namely turning off GPS data for your photos. Once again, I would love to help you further and post the URL for the relevant info, but this stupid web site won't let me until I have posted at least 10 responses... DUMB!!!
The above Google search should also steer you in the direction of rootzwiki dot com, where you can search for "jelly bean nexus pics out of order date taken" and you should hit gold.
I am running a ROM based on the current JRO03L build, so it isn't fixed yet. Hopefully soon...
Martin.
Thanks, Martin! Indeed, the thread is here:
