v4 contact photos bug?

Just been trying to take some contact photos with the new V4 rom, they dont get saved atall. Not to a contact or onto the disk. Once its taken it just vanishes?
Also when browsing images using the viewer clicking "Camera" doesnt do anything.
Anybody got some nifty registery hack to fix it. Ide like to fill up my contact photos for the cube but ones taken with the normal camera are huge files and look odd when shrunk down so much!
Thanks
Ryan

Same problem here
Also saw it with mine too.After tryng tht and starting camera with the hardware key showed,camera initialisation error.May be some gurus will help us out.

Yes, it appears the camera is broken, I can not open any pictures I have taken, not just contact photos.

In have just reset my device to see if I can find a work-around and it is now stuck on the welcome screen.....

Camera problems
Problems I have with the camera are:
- Contact pictures are not saved (so you can't use them)
- GPS foto's still not working
- foto's and video's are stored in the seem folder
- when you make a movie the movie is not showing under album (but it is in the folder)
- when you try to play a recorded video you receive an error saying "the source filter for this file could not be loaded"
Does anyone know if there is a cab file for the camera or who to contact to get these problems fixed???

Trying Fix now..Wait me..!

Problem with phone displaying everything, HELP

My phone recently started displaying everything with like a cartoon effect where you can see all the pixels being thick? & I copied some images to my pc & they display correctly so I decided to take a screenshot of a picture, please look, any help?
Thanks in advance

hi does it do it when your on the se home screens and app draw or just with photos youv taken ?

Looks weird. Like the screen is only able to display a very little amount of colors which results in heavy banding in gradients. Or heavily compressed images.
Like the previous poster said, are only the photos affected or everything like homescreens too? If only photos, you haven't changed to camera quality settings to the worst (though I heavily doubt it could be that bad even if you did)?
Ooops you said they look fine on the computer which is weird. Maybe your screen if faulty somehow. Don't know. But if only the screen is faulty it should not show on a screenshot. Very weird problem indeed.

Its just affecting when I take pictures, or even when I download random images the same problem occurs, so just viewing images really

So just viewing images, It may be your image viewer.

Is that the stock photo app or camera360?

It's the stock gallery app.
If it only affects images I would try and download another gallery application like Quickpic and see if the images display fine.

Maybe if you replaced the app with the one fro system dump?

I used quickpic & it works fine its just gallery & some games

Wow, I found out what it was.... It was chainfire 3d, I accidently selected the unroll to 16 bit & when I uninstalled it it worked fine!

Camera Bad Picture Quality in gallery

I hope someone has the same issue or that this is a "normal" behavior of the HOX, but I don't think I ever noticed that until 2 days ago; anyway here's the problem.
When I take a picture with my camera, the picture looks great during review time (the option you set in settings 3 or 5 seconds). But when I open the same picture in gallery it seems that the quality is lost. I can notice that since as soon as I review the picture, I click on the lower left corner to open the picture again and I can see the difference between the "review picture" and the "saved picture". This is especially apparent in the front camera: when I take a picture of myself, my eyes look very sharp/cartoonish.
I have been running ARHD for a while since 14.2 and I am on 18.1 now. I installed lyapota mod pack which included camera jb mod extrim. I thought it was because of the mod so I did a clean installation of the rom with full wipe and the same problem was there.
Please advise.
Thanks to whoever will help!

May be a different viewer is used(triggered) to view the saved photos.
And thus thus could be a viewer app problem, not the photo quality itself.
Did you try to open these photos on your PC to see how are they looking there?

Yes I did, unfortunately it's the same problem.

Could it be that the preview is smaller than the actual image, and that the quality therefore looks better, because the preview is smaller..?
Try to post a picture you have taken, to show what you mean.

Here is a picture showing both scenarios. I took a screenshot during the review (on the left) and then i opened the actual image. I put them side by side. Notice the color fading and the noise/loss of sharpness in the right picture. This is with normal day light, the effect gets worse when in low light.

Front camera - mirrored photos.

Hello!
When I take photos with front camera, the preview is in correct orientation, but after shot, photos are mirrored.
Do you have similar problem with your 5x?
TIA.
Greetings.

I'm on stock 6.0.1 (April update).
Here is an example of my problem: When I see preview of photo in stock camera app, the callendar on the wall is on my right side, but on the photo is in on the left side...
Or maybe this is working as intended? How it looks like on your phones?

It's how it works. Also take picture with rear camera and you will understand what i mean. If you like that that and want mirrored photos, some apps got that option.

How to recover motion pictures from Google back up or phone ?

Have just realised Google photos back up doesn't back up Samsung motion pictures it just backs up as a normal picture is there anyway to fix or retrieve these pictures so that motion pictures work again ? It seems to back up pixel and iPhone motion pictures but shows no love for Samsung and yes I have the motion picture remover option turned off in Google photos which would only save motion pictures as a normal picture.

Hi! I have similar problem with note9.
1. Live photos that made on samsung camera app on android version lower then 9 not recognizable as motion by google photos. So probably backup can also remove it. But backup in full format, download it back to phone and try to play it with samsung gallery. Not sure, but it should keep file as is, without reformatting. This works in this way on my wife's S8+ (still android 8.0)
2. After I got android 9 on my note9, with new samsung camera app, live photos detected as "motion included" in google photos.
But not playable in google photos (same via web), export to video of gif gives an error too.
Full size backup and restore keeps the motion.
Smells like google photos service bug, but looks like google don't care.

Now, when I retested all this behaviour..
Now, when I retested all this behaviour, google photos restore live photos without motion!!!
