My phone takes pictures that shows up as black and white lines. What can I do?

I have a Samsung S4 and when I bought it this occurred after a few days of use. I got it fixed in my local carrier and they returned it resetted. Now after a few months, the pictures shows up as black and white lines again.

A screenshot can be viewed here: tinypic(.)com/r/r927ev/8 remove () around the period

As you can see the icons are showing perfectly fine at the bottom, it is just its enlarged view. I tried sending the photo into my computer and the same thing happened. The icon itself is perfectly fine, but when you double click to view the picture it shows up as black and white lines.

Hi Josselyn,

That's a very odd thing! It seems like the picture coding is going nuts. Have you tried taking pictures with a 3rd party camera app? If a third party camera app works fine, then it's an app problem, and in that case, you can try to go to the Application Manager in your settings, find the ALL tab, find the Camera app, and clear cache and data from it.

Let us know if that helped.
