Camera no longer saves pictures?

[NickB2005]

Okay so here's my issue. I posted this in the hacks forum for the X, but no one really knew.

I am running a custom rom and I have vignette and the stock camera app.

I can take the pictures no problem, but when it goes to store them it just shows up as blank as nothing was actually saved.

It is quite annoying because there's been plenty of times I've wanted to take a picture, but can't because it won't end up saving it.

Any advice/ideas?

try checking various folders in the sd card, maybe the pics were relocated to a folder that the gallery is not able to display as that folder may have a .nomedia file in it

I checking on the sdcard and didn't see anything.

Do you know what folder it might be under if it was there?

There's only 3 possible folders on the sdcard where it would be saved......
DCIM (which is the default folder for stock camera app)
DCIM / 100ANDRO ( another folder within DCIM directory )
Vignette (the app's default folder if chosen by user)

Okay so I checked DCIM and the pictures I took are there well saved there, but they are basically still blank pictures. No thumbnail appears like the other ones and then when I click it it just comes up to a blank screen.

Any ideas?

have you tried re installing the Vignette app?

 

[NickB2005]

yeah I have tried that a few times and still got nothing with vignette what happens is I take the picture it takes storing picture with that little camera in the middle black screen... and I am stuck on that screen and nothing happens.

I read that you had camera issues and you now have fixed them.
Good that you have fixed them I didnt know what could have been wrong but how did you fix it by re installing it ?

are you using the full paid version?...if so, uninstall it and install the demo version and see if that works. If it does work, then see if you can install the paid version over it

 

[NickB2005]

I tried the demo version and still nothing keep getting the following same thing storing picture, but I'd stuck on that screen.

basically the idea is to connect your phone to computer, transfer ALL data to your computer as a back up. Then reformat your sdcard, Once that has been formatted, copy all data back onto your card (except for the latest photos that you were unable to view properly). Then try the Vignette app again and see how that works out for you.

Is there any other way I can try it tonight without connecting the phone to my computer because the cord is at my work and I am not there.

What about like wifi backup or bluetooh backup?

I read the thread. Not really sure if it's the SD card. I mean even the stock camera app when I take a picture it saves it, but just as a blank image nothing but a black screen. It then would allow me to take another picture however same thing would happen.

Vignette only gets to storing picture screen and that's it. I need to force stop it to close it down.

do you have a spare micro sd card to try before formatting the current card in phone?
Try that if you have a spare laying around even if it's just an 8gb.....even better, just pull the card out completely as the DX has enough storage space internally to take a couple test shots with both camera apps.
If that test fails with same results, then you could have a problem with the camera itself

I tried 2 other micro sd cards that i had laying around and both of them had the same exact thing. Just showing a blank image.

I have only had this problem since I started flashing roms.

how about uninstalling the blurcamera apk and then grabbing the blurcamera apk from a official update and installing just that. Maybe something got messed up in the blurcamera apk
