IPhone 4s :: Photos And Video Appear Dark In Camera Roll And Full Screen View
Jun 23, 2014
I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.1 with a really strange issue that has persisted even through a full reset. I've found similar threads but I've never found a thread where an issue is throughout the phone such as mine is. At one point I was able to somewhat fix everything but the Camera roll issues but in just a couple of weeks the other problems have all returned. The way I fixed this a few weeks ago was by throwing a hail Mary and deleting Instagram. As soon as I did that, the camera returned to normal even after re-installing it. I removed every Camera app and any apps that use the camera on my phone but this time nothing has fixed the issue. I've also performed a factory reset and restored nothing, re-configuring and installing all software again manually but this issue is still persisting.Â
The first noticeable symptom was my on my camera roll where images would appear like they were black or had some sort of dark filter over them. Many people have had similar issues and there is almost never a resolution on ANY of these threads.As you can see, while the preview is dark, the actual picture is fine. This means it's most likely not anything to do with the hardware side of the camera.Â
Inside the Apple Camera.App the view is also dark, as if there is some sort of dark filter on the camera. But if I apply a filter, the display looks "normal". As you can see below the, on the right with a filter applied the display is as expected. Other camera apps (Instragram, Camera+, MagiCam) have the same issue, but without the ability to set a filter like in the Apple app, the camera remains unusable in those applications.Â
This isn't all though, as we continue down the rabbit hole, the plot thickens. Even displaying photos in full-screen in other apps has that same dark filter look to it:Â This screenshot is taken inside Tweetbot. And as shown below, a similar issue with Music.app displaying Album covers. And while I don't have a screenshot for it off-hand, I've had the same issue watching video in full-screen in the YouTube app.Â
My problem started two days ago. When I open the Camera APP the first frame the app "sees" is displayed but no live view. If I hit the shutter it snaps a picture "normally" and I can also shoot video and see the images moving while doing so. The problem is occurring on both front and back cameras and also with 3rd party camera apps! I did reboot a few times without any changes...
Right now I'm waiting for update 4.2.2 to see if it works!
i tried to use the front camera and i suddenly notices that it intermittently flicker until finally it turns black...but when i shift it to the rear camera it seems ok. i dont knw what to do
I've got a video that's in .mov format that was accidentally deleted off the camera roll, but luckily i had copied it over to the computer before.So i am wondering how do i put it back into the camera roll section? i've tried SSHing and putting it back in, but the video just doesn't show up after putting it in the correct directory.any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have photos in my camera roll on my iphone 3 and want to import them to my computer, I guess this has to go through Itunes and I thought I had done it by snyching in the photos bit. A folde has appeared in my pictures but it is empty What am I doing wrong or not doing?
1. Camera Roll - 178 2. Photo Library - 33 3. iPhone - 33 4. Personal 1 - 22 5. Personal 2 - 51
My camera roll has all the photos, Photo Library & iPhone have the same number and the Personal 1 & 2 are divided properly. What I would like to do is move the Camera Roll photos to the iPhone folder so they sync to my computer OR have the Camera Roll sync to a folder on my computer but I am unable to do this. How can I move the Camera Roll photos?
I've run into a situation where the photos taken by the camera app are not saving to the camera roll, however strangely, the photos are still visible through the review mode in the actual camera app, and also when plugged into pc they are visible in the photos folder? Additionally, they are still visible by location under the places tab in the photos app, which suggests they are definitely there. I can still remove them from the iPhone but still have the issue of not being able to edit or view actually on the iPhone. What should I do? Using 4s on 5.1.1.
I have a unique problem in that when I take a photo or video using my iPhone4's camera it doesn't show in the photos app and it just says no photos are present. Same if I try to save any photo from the web or take a screen shot. But the thumbnail with the last pic taken shows in the bottom left corner of screen when I launch the camera app.

Im having a strange issue where when I take a picture I can review it immediately, But it does not show up in the camera roll folder. After a few moments it will show up in my photostream.
According to Apple, we are given 5GB of iCloud storage space, which includes photos and videos on the camera roll. When I restored my phone with an iCloud backup, my camera roll is empty.
I have backed up my photos to my mac, and selected the option to clear them from my phone, but they are still appearing on the phone and my camera roll is at 6.5GB. How do I remove these from my phone?
I have an iPhone 4s. I'm attempting to download all the photos from the camera roll. I tried to use the AutoImport that pops up when you plug the phone in, but that didn't download the photos in my Camera Roll. I then attempted to access the camera roll photos by going to Internal Storage DCIM100APPLE, but I get an error message that says the computer can't find that folder location. I've done this with the phone locked and unlocked. Also, going into the DCIM folder, I cannot even see the 100APPLE folder. There are over 600 photos/video trapped on my phone.Â
How can I save a video attachment to my camera roll in iPhone 4? (Have not downloaded newest update 5.1.1 yet.) When I press and hold down on the video I get 3 options: Quick Look, Open in "Polkast", and Open In. None of these options allow me to save the video to my camera roll.
I want to restore my camera roll photos from a backup. I had problems with no service issue and it is ok now but I had to restore as new phone so could not able to get the photos. (forget to download them first). But I have the back up how can I get just these photos which is all I need from this back up.
I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1. When I take a picture the picture shows up in the ca,era roll, but not in Photo Stream. I do have iCloud and Photo Stream enabled. I can see older photos in Photo Stream. This used to work before. Also, is there a way to add photos from your camera roll to Photo Stream?
i deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
I have thousands of photos on my camera roll. I do know you can select individual photos to delete off the roll and you can select more than one at a time but is there a better way? I keep hoping there would be a way to select groups of photos from my camera roll while my phone is connected to my macbook pro through iphoto. I was told you are only able to delete photos on your phone via your phone basically one at a time.

When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this?
I am trying to import and remove 600+ photos from my iPhone. This worked with many photos but the 600+ remaining will not import. iTunes says that there are no new photos to import which is strange because they are on my phone under Camera Roll. These seem to be photos taken prior to adding iCloud backup.
i had my last back up a month back. today i jus happend to connect my iphone 4 s to my laptop ( windows vista), to restore few applications which were deleted .
i thought i will be able to restore few of my apps. on thinking so. i connected my phone and after sync process. i right clicked on my iphone in itumes and clicked on restore . it did show me the last backup day. which was one month prior. i was still ok with that. and i proceeded it.
now i am notice that my phone is exact like it was a month back, even my wall papers changed to what it was at that time, but the latest apps which i have downloaded during this one month are there. but my camera roll pics arent
