I just bought this phone a few days ago. I am very excited and start playing with the camera. after a few shots and a few mode change, the phone freeze and restart. then i open the camera app again it shows only black screen and a camera failed message
i tried using other camera app but it's no use. the phone has no warranty in my country so i could not have a replacement.
been to the samsung service center also but still no luck.

I updated the phone ( OTA ) to 5.1.1. This updated was supposed to bring some improvements and features ( RAW support ) to the camera. I didn't received them so I tried to update the camera firmware manually.
I entered in the "CameraFirmware Standard" panel ( *#34971539# ) and press "Phone to Cam FW Write", but a pop-up appeared showing "F/W Update fail". Next thing I tried was to flash another stock rom, but this didn't fix it.
The camera is working flawlessly, it's just that I don't know how to update it to the latest firmware. Anything is stock on the phone.

I updated before to OA2 5.0 Lollipop and i experienced the camera failed issue. The screen is just black when launching camera app then it crashes. A simple restart fixes things but it re-occurs once in a while.
I updated last 2 weeks on latest build OD3 and device seemed fine until now. I again experienced camera failure and needs to restart the device everytime.
It seems very random and i dont know what the culprit is. Its getting annoying. +
Tried cache wiping as of today. lets see how long it goes before it happens again

I receive an error message saying "cannot zoom in this mode" whenever I try to zoom in when taking a normal picture. This happens whether I'm in auto, beauty face or panorama. I cannot find a setting that controls this. I've had the phone for about two months and could swear this had not been a problem initially. I can't relate the problem to anything I've set on the phone. . a Spring Galaxy S5

I got the s6 edge today. Was playing with the camera indoors and comparing to the iPhone 6 and came across a huge problem. In low light the Samsung is over saturating the rug and floor and getting no detail. It is smoothing the image out horribly while the iPhone looks natural. If looks like the rug is getting the beauty feature applied. In light it is great but this is just embarrassing.

Ever since the lollipop upgrade, my wife's Galaxy S5 has been randomly inserting a green line into some of the pictures. Its always vertical and typically at the bottom of the picture and sometimes ranges from a quarter of an inch to an inch long.

When taking pictures with the camera, the pictures are saved in a default folder. I want to change that so when I'm at work, the pictures can go into a work folder. And when I'm taking pictures on trips, the pictures can go into a trip folder.

Galaxy SII will not find pictures in the DCIM/Camera folder on the SD card after I have had the phone hooked up to USB. It will find all the other pictures on the phone. They are still on the phone just cannot be seen by any of the programs on the phone.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S-5, and after a Samsung software update (performed on February 13, 2015) all of my pictures in my Gallery under my camera tab have disappeared. I called Samsung and they had me search the phone in several places to look for the pictures with no luck. Has anyone lost pictures after an update? How to find my photos? I did not have auto-back up on, but I do now.

I finally found a S6 with good button and display, but I think I have again bad luck: from time to time, camera is failing and is not related to low power because I encounter the issue at 80% battery level.
I tried factory reset, clear cache and data, and it comes back. But always, the camera is working after pressing Clear all in Smart Manager. If I simply kill the processes using the standard task manager, the camera shows the same error.
if it's an hardware problem, as I read online, why works after clean all operation? I have stock ROM, without root or special app(just fb, dropbox installed)

I use my Nokia phone camera a lot like taking pictures of furnitures, tools, appliances, and other items that I want to know the dimensions (measurements in inches or metric) of to study the pictured items at home. Sometime I carry with me a tape measure and I lay it along the lenght and/r height of the item just to get a rough measurement of the item's dimension.Is it possible for Nokia to develop a camera with a built-in measuring tape that shows up in the pictures taken? The measuring tape should be able to adjust to the distance between the camera and the object so that the actual dimension of the object is measured accurately. If I take a picture of crawling snake from 20 feet away the picture taken should be able to show the actual lenght of the snake.

I have two issues. I took a picture using Nokia camera app which is on default. Some pics didn't save.
Next is when you take picture. When u go to photo albums. You see a link below saying open in Nokia camera. How come pics have that link and others don't? I took some smartcam pics too look at later and can't open it up and do the action shots and other stuff.

Recently the pictures taken using the iPhone's camera are not showing up on the camera roll. The iPhone 4 still has memory available, so I do not believe the issue to be related to too many pictures.

I'm using a fully updated 5s and getting a delivery failure message whenever I send pics via iMessage. The strange thing is that the people I'm messaging are receiving the messgaes and pics despite the error message on my side. I've talked with some other iPhone users and they are currently having the same issue but I don't see anything online about the problem. I guess it's not a big deal since the messages are being sent.Â

I got a blackberry torch 2 months ago at first it took pictures fine and it saved to the media folder. I do not have a memory card in the phone and there is no pictures on and only 9 songs so it cannot be the memory that is causing this problem.When I take a picture it shows at the bottom of the screen but it does not save to the phone as well as when I bluetooth music it downloads and shows download complete but when I check the music folder it does'nt appear.I have tried inserting a memory card but the items on the memory card does not appear on the phone.

just bought a new Nokia Lumia 900 phone. I would like to edit my photos on my PC (Win7), but I can't modify them. I tried it with ACDsee Photo Manager and Adobe Photoshop too, but it always failed, and an error message comes out everytime 'Can't write output file'. I have the right Security settings in the Lumia 900 Photos Folder Properties, but it seems like the Lumia 900 have a special file security system, and I don't have permission to modify my own photos.

I've been using Whatsapp on the curve 3G for quite sometime. However, I always encounter this problem. Whenever I try sending a picture, after uploading 95% of the picture, I get a message saying 'UPLOAD FAILED'. I'm able to receive pictures though.

I have a C3-01, its been over two months but suddenly two days ago the camera stopped working, its like if I press the camera button it opens in 5-10sec and then there's an error "operation failed" and camera goes on standby. I cant update my phone software because the Ovi suite does not show any update for the phone.

I was playing TuneIn Radio and attempted to open the camera but received a "camera unable to initialize" error. I rebooted and got the camera to work but not when I press TuneIn Radio it does nothing. I seems like I need to constantly reboot the phone to get it to do anything. Earlier today I was unable to receive calls when the phone was in my pocket. I would take it out and the unlock bar wouldn't respond. I ended up getting a force to close message and this repeated multiple times, although I could call out. My wife keeps suggesting I take the phone back.
