Samsung Note 4 CAMERA ISSUE .. GREY
After recording a long video (20min) on slow motion (fireworks), i have had no end of grief... Now I am unable to take video or photos. Most of them show up as 'grey'.
I have tried cold - booting the phone, clearing cache and all data, resetting the phone to factory, reformatted the SD card and changed the default location to 'internal' just in-case it was an SD card issue.... to no avail.
Ofcourse Samsung Support offered little help, apart from 'reset it to factory'.
UPDATE:
My gut feeling tells me it has something to do with how KitKat 4.4.4 is handling/managing the SD card.... just noticed that 'formatting' the SD actually does nothing.
I'm still thinking the FAT (of the microSD) has been corrupted due to the file size of the video. Just got to format it outside of the phone, since attempting to format it using the Phone's format doesn't seem to work. I did set the camera storage location to 'internal' but that made no difference....... so I am guessing now its possibly isn't the MicroSD card..... UPDATE: Actually i take that back.. camera seems to have settled down and working fine now that i have switched to 'internal storage'. Will keep an eye on it....
I'd be interested to know if anyone has recorded a slow-motion video (20-30min) on 1/8th to external microSD card and had issues.... anyone care to repeat/test this?
