Still camera mode problem!

[Guest Marko-CRO]

Hello!

I have big problem with camera on my b7610.For a few days now, when I take picture, later I can`t open it nowhere (neither phone or pc) and camera shows error " Can`t open file" . I alredy try everything from hard reset to new ROM but nothing helps.

Does enyone has expirienced same problem and is there any solution?

Is there maybe a way to reset camera?

Thak you in advance!

P.S. This is my first post in english so if i made some mistakes please forgive me :P

Nobody with this problem? Then something got realy wrong...

[Guest darthveda]

you can try to reinstall the camera? try using the camera cab file from daskalos rom

[Guest Freezy1982]

1) Can you open the token picture with the standard picture viewer?

2) Was the picture saved in a "normal" format and have you installed an application to open the file with?

3) Is this error message only shown if you try to open your pictures with the camera app?

4) Which ROM do you use?

[Guest Marko-CRO]

1. No, standard picture viewer doesen´t even see this pictures...When I try to open with PC it shows that the file is corrupted.

2. Yes, the picture is saved in normal .jpg format and I have this standard picture viewer instaled. Do I need something else?

3. I cannot open these files neither with picture viewer or trough file manager.

4. Curently I use original complete Samsung ROM: PDA: B7610NXXJC2,

CSC: B7610NDBTIL4

PHONE: B7610XXJC1

, but I allredy tried 2 other ROM`s and same thing happend

To darthveda: Tried that also...Didn`t help... ;)

Weird thing is that video recording works fine and when I`m taking still picture I see it on preview, but problem is when I try to open it. It`s like the camera saves only the name of the file but without data... :)

[Guest Freezy1982]

Hmm wired... :)

I'm sorry, but I have no standard solution for this ;)

Perhaps (but you have testet it certainly) you can change your picture resolution? Or saving it to internal memory?

If nothing helps... Try to call the Samsung Hotline - they helped me in some cases.. Perhaps your Hardware is broken (?) Or its another (simple) cause...

[Guest Marko-CRO]

It`s hard to belive that this is hardware problem because videorecording works fine. Even taking picture in panorama mode works great...It has to be some minor bug...

Anyway, thanks Freezy for help.

[Guest Marko-CRO]

It works again!! :) ;)

I was playing with self portrait mode and when I turned back to main camera it start to working normally...Strange!

Anyway, i`m happy...Will see for how long it will be fine.

[Guest Freezy1982]

Strange! But great :)

If it wont be running in future, try switching once again. If its working then, it could be a nice solution for this issue ;)

[Guest Marko-CRO]

Well it didn`t last for long...Same thing again and this time don`t help switching between self portrait and normal mode... :)

Could you give an explanation what you have done before the issue came back? Something special? Soft-Reset? Any Program launched?

[Guest Marko-CRO]

I have done soft reset to apply some settings but nothing that have to with camera...

Do you have a third party media player installed?

[Guest Marko-CRO]

Since i`m a newbie in WM, i really dont know...What third party media player should be instaled? And if I dont have this media player, why can I normally see pictures taken with front camera, videos and pictures taken in panorama mode with main camera, but it wont open pictures taken in normal mode with main camera?

Can you try updating your camera firmware?

disable sleep...

dial *#2470#

tap firmware update (if it says don't need FW update then don't)

enter password 1234 then ok

then wait for at least 10 Minutes, then soft reset...

then check your camera again, see if there's any progress
